RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No.22464 to reassign vacant Clerk-Experienced Level position #11987 (JWXB) from Department Budget Unit #0450 (Public Health - Communicable Disease) to Department Budget Unit #0460 (CA Child Services Therapy) in the Health Services Department (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval of this action, will shift an approximate annual salary and benefit cost of $88,35 to Department Budget Unit #0460 (CA Child Services - Rehabilitation Therapy Program) and will be 100% offset by County & California Department of Healthcare Services/Medi-Cal State funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to reassign the vacant Clerk-Experience position to the CA Child Services Therapy (CCS). This is a statewide program that arranges and pays for medical care, equipment, and rehabilitation for eligible children and youth. This position will be assigned to the Medical Therapy Program (MTP) as it has over 850 clients. This position will relieve the Chief Pediatric Therapist, therapist Aides and Physical/Occupational Therapists from clerical tasks, allowing more efficient client treatment and family-centered care for a vulnerable population.

The new position will be responsible for dealing tactfully and courteously with clients/families and the public, receive office visitors, answer questions regarding specific departmental procedures and practices as well as make calls to families/clients. The position will also be responsible for performing a variety of clerical work in connection with the assembly, sorting, tabulation and recording of fiscal and statistical data.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the CCS Rehabilitation Therapy Program will not have adequate clerical staffing to support the clinic providers, which will negatively impact patient services.
