FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
In January 2024, the Health Services Department decreased the hours of one (1) Departmental Human Resources Analyst II (ARTA) position to recruit and retain professional HR staff most interested in part-time work schedules. Although this arrangement was initially successful, the department was unable to retain the incumbent. The department also learned that Personnel’s workflows are best supported by a staffing structure of permanent full-time professional staff.
The Mental Health Clinical Specialist position was vacated in mid-2024. At this time, the department does not have an operational need for a full-time clinician. Therefore, the reduction of allocated work hours for this position will accurately reflect the current business need and provide an offset of budgetary FTE.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the department will lack the appropriate staffing levels to support human resources and personnel functions and activities.
