RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25895 to add one (1) Public Health Nutritionist position (V9WB) at salary plan and grade TC5-1430 ($5,582.83 - $6,785.96) and one (1) Administrative Services Assistant II (APVA) position at salary plan and grade ZB5-1475 ($5,837.20 - $7,095.15) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval will result in an approximate salary and benefit costs increase of $289,091, with $112,109 pensions included. These positions will be fully funded by Older Americans Act funding.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, there will not be sufficient staff properly allocated to the Senior Nutrition Program and this will negatively affect program activities.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Public Health Nutritionist (V9WB) and one Administrative Services Assistant II (APVA) full-time positions. The Administrative Services Assistant II is needed for the Senior Nutrition program to complete monthly, quarterly, and annual tasks distinctly separate from the tasks that the Administrative Services Assistant III is assigned to. The ASA II will provide administrative and fiscal support to the ASA III for numerous contracts, grants, and subcontracts by producing an maintaining program procedures, policy development, training contractors on policies and procedures.

The Public Health Nutritionist position is needed to develop menu items to be prepared by subcontractors. This person will also conduct café site visits to ensure compliance and conduct client surveys or other data tools to ensure client needs are being met. This position will also be added since the current PH Nutritionist is in the process of being reclassified to a Senior PH Nutritionist as the Senior Nutrition Program has expanded. In contrast, the Sr. Public Health Nutritionist will oversee the Public Health Nutritionist and be the subcontractor liaison, as well as conduct site visits a the locations where the food is prepared (separate location than cafes).
