RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21617 to add two (2) Public Health Program Specialist I (VBSD) positions at salary level and range ZA5-1602 ($5,279 - $6,416) and cancel vacant positions - Home Economist (V9WE) positions #13894 and #14948 at salary level and range QT5-1376 ($4,220 - $5,130), Public Health Nutritionist (V9WB) position #9754 at salary level and range QT5-1430 ($4,452 - $5,412), and Information System Assistant II (LTVH) position #9656 at salary level and range 3R5-1005 ($3,012 - $3,661) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost savings of approximately $39,563.

BACKGROUND:

The Department is requesting the two positions to be allocated to Public Health Division's Women, Infant and Children (WIC) Program. Currently the WIC Program Director is managing sixty (60) staff members in four sites - Brentwood, Pittsburg, Concord and Richmond, which is not sustainable. The WIC Program provides services to approximately 22,525 participants for fiscal year 2014-2015 countywide, and the added positions will be assigned to the East and West County to provide on-site daily supervision, technical assistance and consultation to program staff. To offset the new positions, the Department is cancelling the vacant positions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, there is not sufficient management staff to oversee the daily activities of the WIC program.
