RECOMMENDATION(S):

INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 2019-18 amending the County Ordinance Code Section 33-5.313 to exclude from the Merit System the new classification of Deputy Director of Health Services-Exempt, WAIVE READING and Fix June 11, 2019, for adoption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost of approximately $450,821 with pension costs of $102,533 already included. The position will be fully funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to exclude from the Merit System the classification of Deputy Director of Health Services - Exempt, due to its high level of authority and direct reporting relationship to the Health Services Director. The Deputy Director will work closely with department division heads and program chiefs to ensure the effective and efficient operations of the divisions and programs in alignment with the Department's overall strategic plan. The incumbent is required to possess a high level of knowledge about the operations of divisions in order to act as the liaison between the Health Services Director, senior management, and outside agencies and other County departments. The incumbent will represent the Department at meetings in all levels, participate on various committees and/or boards as directed by the Health Services Director, and be able to assume all duties of the Health Services Director in his/her absence.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Health Services Director will not have adequate high level administrative leadership focused on working with division heads and program chiefs to strategically plan and effectively maintain department operations.
