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

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH TWO JOB DESCRIPTIONS FROM THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CONSULTANT-HEALTH JOB DESCRIPTION

RESOLUTION #04-013`

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners established in early 2001 an Early Childhood Consultant-Health job description on the recommendation of the ICEA Professional Job Evaluation Study; and

WHEREAS, the Early Childhood Consultant-Health job description contained descriptions for two different jobs (one serving as Parent Educator in the Public Health Nursing Unit and one serving as an Early Child Care Consultant in the Office for Young Children); and

WHEREAS, several Early Childhood Consultant-Health positions were established in June 2001 through the All Children Connected to Succeed subcontracts with the Ingham Intermediate School District (IISD); and

WHEREAS, there were several previously existing positions in the Office for Young Children that were included in the new Early Childhood Consultant-Health job description, along with the new grant funded positions; and

WHEREAS, the All Children Connected to Succeed grant to the IISD has been eliminated for FY 2003-2004, and County had to lay-off several grant funded employees effective June 30, 2003; and

WHEREAS, at the time of employee notification of lay-off, there was confusion because the two jobs were included in a single job description; and

WHEREAS, the Health Officer and the Human Resources Director are recommending that each of the two jobs should be described in a separate job description, with a distinct job title, and whereas the ICEA concurs with the plan to separate the job description.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the separation of the existing Early Childhood Consultant job description into two separate job descriptions, one with the title of "OYC Early Childhood Consultant" and the other with a title of "Parent Educator".

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that these two job classifications shall both retain the salary grade level of the existing Early Childhood Consultant: ICEA Professional 05.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the two classifications shall be placed in the same Seniority Group in the existing ICEA Professional Unit Agreement.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the separation of job descriptions shall be effective November 1, 2003 and that the County Attorney is directed to draft a letter of agreement with the ICEA to implement the change.
