RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22237 to add one Public Health Program Specialist I (VBSD) position at salary plan and grade ZA5 1602 ($69,895-$84,958) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will have an annual cost of approximately $139,823, with estimated pension costs of $30,160 already included. These costs will be 100% offset by Proposition 56 funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Health Division has been granted Proposition 56 (Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016) funding for five years to provide local oral health program services for the California Oral Health Plan (COHP). The program is aimed to improve the oral health of all Californians through prevention, education and organized community efforts. Activities include convening, coordinating, and collaborating to support planning, disease prevention, surveillance, education and linkage to treatment programs. The program also serves as the road map to identify priorities, short-term, intermediate and long-term goals as well as objectives with recommendations to address the burden of disease and to increase access to oral care health. The requested position will have the responsibilities of executing the oral health program and providing the planning and coordination to provide services and outcome measures.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Health Services Public Health Division will not have adequate staff for the California Oral Health Plan program.
