RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25724 to reassign ten (10) Registered Nurse-Project (VWX5) positions #18293, #18294, #18295, #18296, #18297, #18298, #18299, #18300, #18301, #18302, at salary plan and grade L32-1880 ($10,398 - $12,986), and their incumbents, from Department 0450 (Public Health) to Department 0540 (Hospital and Clinics) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, the annual cost of approximately $1,684,280 with pension cost of $653,164 already included will shift from Public Health Emergency Planning to Hospital Enterprise Fund I. This cost is 100% offset by Federal and State Emergency funds) (cost center 6911).

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services department is requesting to reassign ten (10) Registered Nurse-Project positions that were initially allocated to the Public Health Division for the purpose of COVID relief efforts – prior to filling the positions, there was a need identified in multiple Ambulatory Care Health Centers to have additional nursing staff available to provide COVID vaccines to the community. Reassigning these RN positions will allow the Ambulatory Care Health Centers to obtain the staff needed to keep up with demand in vaccination efforts, in a continued effort to lessen the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Ambulatory Care Health Centers responsible for vaccinating the community will not have sufficient staffing to keep up with demand.
