RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21610 to reclassify one (1) Public Health Program Specialist I (VBSD) (represented) position #10076 at salary plan and grade level ZA5-1602 ($5,279 - $6,416) and its incumbent to Public Health Program Specialist II (VBND) (represented) at salary plan and grade level ZA5-1711 ($5,880 - $7,148) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $12,900 including approximately $3,201 in pension costs, which is fully offset with revenues from service fees.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting the reclassification of position #10076 and its incumbent from Public Health Program Specialist I to Public Health Program Specialist II. After analysis of job duties and responsibilities, the Department has determined that the position and the incumbent should be reclassified at the Public Health Program Specialist level. The incumbent has primary responsibilities for the County's Immunization Program including county-wide planning, administration, coordination and implementation of all Immunization Program activities to assure that all County residents are protected from vaccine-preventable diseases. In addition, he acts as the primary spokesperson for the County's Communicable Disease Program, and is also an active participant in communicable disease investigation and control activities with a large-scare community impact. Further, he serves as a Communicable Disease on-call staff providing direct assistance to the County's Health Officer.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, the incumbent will not be classified and compensated appropriately.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
