Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign the attached Personnel Allocation Resolution to change the existing Public Health Nurse, Supervising Public Health Nurse, and Community Advocate positions associated with the Community Hub Programs from Limited Term to regular positions.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
On July 17, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved the deletion of specified limited term personnel allocations dedicated to the Community Hub Programs, and the addition of an equal number of specified regular positions (File ID: 18-0622; Agenda No. 29), in order to address high vacancy and turnover rates in the positions. At that time HHSA recommended returning to the Board with the appropriate Personnel Allocation Resolution.
Working directly with the Human Resources Department, HHSA has developed the attached Personnel Allocation Resolution which was approved by County Counsel and Human Resources on August 3, 2018.
This Resolution will delete the specified limited term positions, and add the same positions back as regular positions. Recruitments will be processed for the newly allocated positions. The deletion of the specified limited term positions will be effective upon being vacated by the current incumbents or September 29, 2018, whichever occurs first.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could decline to adopt and authorize signature on the attached Personnel Allocation Resolution, thereby retaining the positions as Limited Term.
OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel and Human Resources
