RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21831 to add one permanent full-time Account Clerk – Advanced Level (JDTD) at salary level 3RX-1133 ($3,408 - $4,353) and cancel one permanent full-time Collection Enforcement Officer II (SMVD) at salary level QV5-1304 ($4,048 - $4,920) position #14259 in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost savings of $10,008.76 with benefits, including pension cost savings of $2,417.08.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Patient Accounting Division is responsible for all of Health Services Patient Accounting. The majority of the Patient Accounting Division’s work load is completed by the Account Clerk classification series. There is already an existing Collection Enforcement Officer II position and currently it has been determined there is not enough work or assignments to warrant the additional Collection Enforcement Officer II position in Patient Accounting which has been vacant since 2013. The Department has determined the need for an Account Clerk position is critical and is able to cancel the Collection Enforcement Officer II in its place.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Health Services Patient Accounting Unit will not have adequate staff to meet its financial and legal obligations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
