|
| | | | | | | | Background | Two public health nurses in the maternal child health program in Prevention Services have resigned from their full-time position. One resignation is effective immediately and the other is effective 6/30/20. These positions perform nursing activities related to parent-child health to address health issues and disparities adversely impacting populations and individuals. Activities include population-based advocacy, assessment, policy development, partnerships, communication, education, and problem-solving.
The positions are budgeted in 2020 for $71,729 and $74,841 (salary and benefits). New public health nurses will not exceed the budgeted costs and will likely be hired at lower steps, with a cost savings in 2020. |
|
| | | | | | | | Board Authority | Consistent with Resolution 19-20 and the revised Division of Responsibilities (10/8/19), the Board of Health has authority over the Health District budget. In accordance with Resolution 18-27, no hiring of additional employees is allowed without the review and approval of the Executive Committee and the Board of Health. |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommended Motion | MOVE TO authorize the Administrative Officer to approve filling two full-time, budgeted positions for public health nurses in the maternal-child health program. |
