RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25915 to add one (1) Assistant Director of Safety and Performance Improvement (VWGB) position at salary plan and grade ZZX-1011 ($13,343 - $16,218), one (1) Associate Medical Director-Exempt (VCS4) position at salary plan and grade B85-1013 ($20,700- $25,161), and one (1) Chief Operating Officer-Exempt (VWD1) position at salary plan and grade B8L-2449 ($16,241) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an approximate annual salary and benefit cost increase of $1,105,199. The positions will be funded 100% by Public Health Workforce Development funding.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) awarded Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) $1,910,858 on August 31, 2021, to support public health workforce development. Funding supports positions to establish, expand, train, and sustain the public health workforce to better respond to Covid-19 or other public health crisis in the future. The Assistant Director of Safety and Performance Improvement, Associate Medical Director-Exempt, and Chief Operating Officer-Exempt positions will be embedded into the Public Health department to strengthen the infrastructure and to establish a more responsive and scalable department. These positions will help meet the requirements of the upcoming Public Health accreditation process and meet deliverables in areas of health metrics, community health assessment, infectious disease response, maternal and child health and clinic services.

CCHS prepared a budget and workplan which was approved by CDPH in October 2021. To meet the deliverables of the funding, CCHS is requesting to add the above positions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If these positions are not added, CCHS will not be able to fulfill the requirements of the funder, be able to draw down the $1,910,858 funding, nor strengthen the department’s infrastructure.
