Agenda Item No. 16

Introduced by the Human Services, County Services and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO ADJUST THE STATUS OF TWO POSITIONS IN THE

HEALTH DEPARTMENT

RESOLUTION #06-078

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has recently changed the status of the full-time Human Services Grant Coordinator position in the Health Department to create two part-time positions (Resolution #06-37); and

WHEREAS, the Health Officer has proposed that a vacant, full-time Health Educator II position (ICEA Pro 07) be converted to part-time status and the remaining funds be dedicated to create a vacant, full-time Human Services Grant Coordinator position; and

WHEREAS, the resulting vacant, part-time Health Educator II position will be permanently assigned to the community health center network to support smoking prevention and cessation among the clients of the health centers; and

WHEREAS, this action will continue the current level of smoking cessation activities in the Department and facilitate a smooth transition in the Human Services Grant Coordinator position as Ron Uken (the incumbent) moves to part-time status and ultimately retires in 2007; and

WHEREAS, the Health Officer has advised that these changes can be accommodated in the 2006 budget without additional County support. 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes a change from full-time to part-time status for the vacant Health  Educator II, position number 601031 (ICEA Pro 07).

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board authorizes a change to full-time status for the vacant part-time Human Services Grant Coordinator position number 601366 (M-10).

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that these changes are effective April 1, 2006. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Controller is authorized to adjust the Health Department’s 2006 budget to implement the resolution.
