Agenda Item No. 11



Introduced by the Administrative Services/Personnel and Finance Committees of the:



INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS



RESOLUTION RECLASSIFYING CERTAIN POSITIONS WITHIN THE PROJECT SENTRY/HAYFORD STREET CLINIC



RESOLUTION #99-154



WHEREAS, at Project Sentry/Hayford Street Clinic there has been a 200% turnover in the seven Collections Monitor positions, all SPT (special part-time) positions, since December, 1998; and



WHEREAS, the absence of a Collections Monitor at any shift necessitates the collection of unmonitored specimens, rendering the result useless for court application; and



WHEREAS, the hiring/screening process for finding new or replacement employees has resulted in a constant posting and interviewing process in order to try to maintain minimal staffing; and



WHEREAS, the starting scale for the current Collections Monitor SPT position is $10.50/hour; the rate of pay for a SPT Clinical Assistant Technician I is $11.22/hour, and for a SPT Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is $13.47/hour and for a SPT Clinic Nurse (RN) is $14.70/hour.



THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that in order to maintain a stable and reliable staff for drug specimen collection, that two (2) current Collections Monitor positions shall be consolidated into one (1) nurse or Clinic Assistant Technician I position or four (4) Collections Monitor positions be consolidated into (2) nurse or Clinic Assistant Technician I positions at Project Sentry/Hayford Street Clinic. The existing budget will not be exceeded in either event, but actually a savings will result. The hours and status will remain the same (i.e., special part-time, no benefits, 19 hrs. weekly or less).
