RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No.21611 to add one (1) permanent full-time Public Health Program Specialist I (VBSD) (represented) position at salary plan and grade level ZA5-1602 ($5,279 - $6,416) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost of approximately $128,366.88, which includes $27,335.70 in pension costs, which is 100% offset by federally qualified health care revenue.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one (1) Public Health Program Specialist I position assigned to Public Health Division's Clinic Services. Due to the expansion of its school based services program, the sole program manager's workload has significantly increased and cannot be sustained. The new position is necessary in order to efficiently manage the increased staff and services. The two managers will have split responsibilities with reasonable workload to effectively manage the day-to-day operations of the services provided at 41 different school sites throughout the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, there is not sufficient staff to effectively manage Public Health's School Based Clinic Services.
