RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22241 to establish the classification of Chief of Plant Operations-Exempt (VAD3) (unrepresented) at salary plan and grade level B85-1005 ($12,583-$15,295) and add one full-time position in the Health Services Department; and Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22242 to add one full-time Facilities Maintenance Manager (GFDG)(represented) in the Health Services Department. (100% Hospital Enterprise Fund I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately annual cost of $432,000, including $113,000 in pension costs (100% Hospital Enterprise Funds).

BACKGROUND:

In fiscal year 2018-19, the Public Works and Health Services Departments have committed to improving the delivery of maintenance and constructions services for the facilities in the County’s Hospital and Clinics. In order to improve management and communication between the departments, especially in the area of prioritization of work, Health Services is adding a Chief of Plant Operations (Exempt) position and a Facilities Maintenance Manager. Both departments are also conducting ongoing discussions about the structure and staffing required to maintain the Health Services facilities at the needed levels for certification from the appropriate authorities. These interdepartmental discussions may lead to recommendations for structural or staffing changes in one, or both, departments in the future.

Creating a management structure within the Health Services department would provide the control of the maintenance of the Hospital and Clinics facilities needed to maintain licensing. A Health Services reporting structure would allow Health Services the ability to direct the operational and functional areas of the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers. These additions are anticipated to reduce, over a period of time, emergency maintenance work and allow the Department to make independent decisions set forth by the CCRMC Chief Executive Officer, Board of Supervisors, and Federal, State and County laws, ordinances and regulations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Continued sharing of management resources between the Hospital and Clinics and other facilities of the County, which is inefficient.
