SBC FILE NUMBER: 105.3

The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) operates a Migrant Labor Camp and Winter Shelter at 2325 Southside Road.  The HHSA staff for the location includes a Parks & Maintenance Worker.  The County's Human Resources department has recently concluded that the position needs to be reclassified to Building and Grounds Maintenance Worker based on an actual audit of the duties being performed and that the position should be part of the Resource Management Agency (RMA) staff.

The transfer of this position to RMA will provide the necessary training and safety protocols for this type of work as well as appropriate work oversight for "quality of work" issues.  Health and Human Services and the Resource Management Agency will jointly supervise the work activities of the incumbent and have signed the attached Memorandum of Understanding.  The cost for this position will continue to be paid through HHSA Office of Migrant Services grant.

Human Resources and SEIU Local #521 have been consulted on this issue and are in agreement with the reclassification of the position.
