RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21824 to add one (1) Administrative Services Assistant II (APVA) position ($4,795-$5,828) and cancel one vacant (1) Information Systems Technician II (LTVB) position #9636 ($4,895-$5,950) in the Information Technology unit of the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no additional costs associated with this action. There will be a cost savings of $2,160 annually with benefits, including $521 in pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Information Technology has identified a need for an Administrative Services Assistant II position to support its contracting and procurement operations. This position will support the purchasing of IT equipment, software, systems, and services. Working with vendors for quotes, preparation of software and services agreements, purchase orders, and services contracts. Recently, the process for acquiring software, services, and training changed from a routine Purchase Order to the use of a Software and Services Agreement (SSA). The SSA is a very detailed legal document which requires the IT department to work more closely with the various vendors to develop a document which clearly describes the work to be performed, terms and conditions, and scope of service. These responsibilities are more appropriately aligned with that of an Administrative Services Assistant II rather than an Information Systems Technician II.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Health Services Information Technology division will not have the appropriate personnel to staff its operations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
