RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26017 to cancel two (2) vacant Disease Intervention Technician - Project (V7W1) positions #17988 and #17989 at salary plan and grade TC5-1284 ($5,073 - $6,166), one (1) vacant Director, Public Health Laboratory Services - Project (V0D1) position #18022 at salary plan and grade ZA5-1984 ($10,145 - $12,332), three (3) vacant Planner/Evaluator-Level A-Project (VCS5) positions #18020, #10821, and #10844 at salary plan and grade ZB2-1099 ($4,352 - $6,302), and one (1) vacant Health Services Administrator - Level B-Project (VAN2) position #18222 at salary plan and grade ZB2-1323 ($5,432 - $8,901); and add ten (10) Intermediate Typist Clerk - Project (JWV1) positions at salary plan and grade 3RH-0753 ($3,681 - $4,567) in the Health Services Department. (All represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an approximate annual cost savings of $70,535 with $31,667 in pension cost included. These positions will be fully offset by California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Immunization Funding Rounds 2, 3, and 4.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Health Division in the Health Services Department is requesting to cancel two Disease Intervention Technician - Project, one Director, Public Health Laboratory Services - Project, three Planner/Evaluator-Level A-Project, and one Health Services Administrator - Level B-Project positions that were added for COVID-19 staffing. The Department has determined that these project positions are no longer needed for COVID response, and can be canceled.

Due to the recent MonkeyPox case increases in the County and national outbreaks, the Public Health's COVID and Monkeypox response requires a shift in the type of staffing needed to support operations. Therefore, the division is requesting to add ten Intermediate Typist Clerk - Project positions to support the COVID and Monkeypox response. The division is in urgent need for more stable and dedicated clerical positions to support the vaccination sites. These project positions will be responsible for scheduling and registering individuals seeking vaccination appointments for Monkeypox and COVID using cclink over the phone and in-person, and answering phone calls.

These positions will help the Public Health Division meet the urgent operational needs required to provide Monkeypox vaccines in our community by expanding their staff capacity.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, the division will not have the proper staff to effectively address the COVID and Monkeypox response.
