RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution 25678 to add one (1) Buyer II (STTA) position at salary plan and grade ZB5-525 ($5,955 - $7,238) and cancel one vacant Administrative Services Assistant III (APTA) position at salary plan and grade ZB5-1631 ($6,614 - $8,039) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in approximate annual cost savings of $14,617 to the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Information Technology Division (HSIT) requires the addition of a Buyer II position to support the increasing purchasing duties in its Procurement Team. The position will support the department's efforts to enhance and standardize purchasing processes, analyze and develop purchasing specifications for bulk purchasing, and prepare documentation for bids and Request for Proposal solicitations. The additional position will provide adequate staffing to meet the department’s increasing demands for IT equipment and support.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

HSIT currently has a vacant Administrative Services Assistant III position that has been vacant since November 2019, and has determined there is no longer an operational need for a position in this classification. The Buyer II position is the more appropriate and specialized classification to meet the staffing needs of he Procurement Team.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, HSIT will not have adequate procurement staff to meet the growing technology demands of the Health Services Department.
