RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22364 to add one Community Health Worker I (VKWC) position at salary plan and grade level TC5-0933 ($3,093-$3,410) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost of approximately $80,686 with pension costs of $15,584 already included. This cost is fully funded by Driving Under the Influence (DUI) fees paid by DUI participants.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Community Health Worker I to the Public Health Division. This position will support the Driving Under the Influence Program by obtaining information about DUI prevention, education and referrals. The Community Health Work I responsibilities include gathering data pertaining to the prevalence of DUI in the community, assist with real time/ immediate referrals to DUI Programs and being a resource to the courts specifically to DUI proceedings.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, Driving Under the Influence program will not have the appropriate level of staffing to implement educational information to the community and support the court system during DUI proceedings.
