RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 25817 to cancel four (4) vacant Primary Care Provider-LMTD-EX (VPT6) positions #7918, #18440, #18441 (24/40), and #18442 (24/40) at salary plan and grade 1PX-1000 ($17,464 - $19,917); and add four (4) full-time Primary Care Provider-Exempt (VPT5) positions at salary plan and grade 1PX-1000 ($17,464 - $19,917) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $290,777, with $112,763 in pension costs already included. The cost increase will be funded 100% by County General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Primary Care Provider-Limited-Ex classification was initially created for existing employees; no external applicants qualify to be hired into this classification. In order to obtain the necessary staffing to ensure that service requirements are being met, the Medical Staff Office would like to cancel four vacant limited-term positions and add four Primary Care Provider positions. This will allow the department to hire additional staff in order to keep up with current healthcare service demands.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Martinez Detention Center will not have sufficient staffing to meet high demand service needs.
