RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21723 to add one (1) Environmental Services Supervisor (1WHB) position ($3,427-$4,166) and cancel permanent part-time Institutional Services Worker-Generalist (1KVD) positions #15719 (32/40) and #15720 (24/40) ($2,773-$3,370) in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no additional costs associated with this action. There will be a cost savings of approximately $21,865 annually with benefits, including $2,354 in pension costs.

BACKGROUND:

A new Environmental Services Supervisor position is needed at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) due to the following: - Increase in EVS staff and area coverage due to the opening of the George & Cynthia Miller Wellness Center -Due to Medicaid expansion, CCHP enrollment has more than doubled. This has increased demand in our facilities. It has impacted Medical Center Building 1 clinics that now have longer opening hours and a higher number of visitors. - Hospital activities have increased tremendously due to the closure of Doctor's Medical Center. Impacted ER with more patient visits and increased inpatient volume. - New regulations and an ever increasing number of inspections from state health/CMS. - Maintaining documentation for OSHA/State/Joint Commission inspections (ie: conduct more rounds and inspections)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved and without additional staff, the Environmental Services unit will not have adequate supervisory personnel to ensure the meeting of its mandated requirements.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
