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

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO ADJUST THE STATUS OF A POSITION IN THE

HEALTH DEPARTMENT

RESOLUTION #09-018

WHEREAS, one of the cost cutting measures the Health Department made in October 2008 was to eliminate a Community Health Representative II position in the Well Child Health Center and  relocate a Health Program Assistant in Planning and Special Services to the Well Child Health Center; and

WHEREAS, some of the duties and responsibilities of the Health Program Assistant have been re-assigned to others in Planning and Special Services; and

WHEREAS, the tobacco vendor licensing and compliance check operations have been allocated to the three quarter time Account Clerk in OYC (Position # 601343); and

WHEREAS, the Deputy Health Officer responsible for OYC has advised the Health Officer that the status of the Account Clerk will need to increase from three-quarter time to full-time in order to support the increased duties and responsibilities; and 

WHEREAS, the existing Account Clerk position is in support of the position being converted from three-quarter time to full-time; and 

WHEREAS, the Health Officer has been advised that the added cost to the Health Department of $10,342 ($6,895 for the remainder of 2009) will be covered by a combination of $5,342 in expected monetary civil penalties for violation of the tobacco regulation and $5,000 in grant revenues from the American Legacy Foundation already budgeted for the tobacco program; and

WHEREAS, the Health Officer is recommending that the Position #601343 be converted from three-quarter time to full-time to accommodate the extra time needed to complete these new duties and responsibilities.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes a change in status, from three-quarter time status to full-time, for Position #601343, effective February 2, 2009.
