RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22369 to increase the hours of five (5) Licensed Vocational Nurse (VT7G) position #15512 from 32/40 to 40/40; position #15513 from 24/40 to 40/40; position #12057 from 32/40 to 40/40; position #12429 from 24/40 to 40/40 and position #10820 from 24/40 to 40/40 at salary level TAX-1287 ($4,380.56 - $5,594.16) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

If this action is approved, there is an annual cost of approximately $157,869.99, which includes pension costs of $56,043.85. The cost is entirely supported with County General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of five (5) Licensed Vocational Nurse positions, as per the Memorandum of Understanding with Teamsters Local 856. With the hours increase, these part-time positions will become full-time to include position #15512 from 32/40 to 40/40, position #15513 from 24/40 to 40/40, position #12057 from 32/40 to 40/40, position #12429 from 24/40 to 40/40 and position #10820 from 24/40 to 40/40. The incumbents have been working the increased hours for the past six months to prevent mandatory overtime and these hours are certified by the Department Manager as being operationally necessary to continue the mandated functions of the department, and to ensure patient care at both the Martinez Detention Facility and the West County Detention Facility.

Upon approval, there is an annual cost of approximately $157,869.99 which includes pension cost of $56,043.85. The cost is entirely supported with County General Funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, both the Martinez Detention Facility and the West County Detention Facility will not have adequate staffing to meet the demand and volume of patient care needed for those we serve.
