RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21642to add three (3) Community Health Worker II (VKVB) positions at salary plan and grade level QT5-1043 ($3,035 - $3,689) and cancel vacant Clerk-Senior Level (JWXC) positions #9551 and #9748, and vacant Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) position #8874 in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost savings of approximately $555.00.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting three Community Health Worker II positions assigned to the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program within the Public Health Division to improve efficiency in serving its clients. WIC Program provides checks for nutrition, nutrition education, referrals to health and human services and breastfeeding support. Duties of Community Health Workers include providing assistance to Home Economists and Public Health Nutritionists in health education and program enrollment. Utilizing this classification will significantly reduce "wait times' for clients as Community Health Workers are able to perform intake, health education and referral functions within their scope. Hence, the vacant clerical positions no longer meets the operational needs of the program.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the WIC program will continue to run inefficiently, which may negatively impact client services.
