Subject:P300 21102 Reallocate the classifications of Director, Public Health Clinic Services and the Communicable Disease
Program Chief on the Salary Schedule
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and as a result, duties that were assigned to that classification have been dispersed throughout the Division with
most remaining with the Communicable Disease Program Chief classification and the Director, Public Health
Clinic Services classification.
Historically, the Communicable Disease Chief oversaw the Communicable Disease Program which included
oversight of the following Public Health Division programs:
-Health Care Interpreter Network
-Public Health Laboratory
-Communicable Disease Program
-Epidimiology/Surveillance Program
-Limited English Access Program (Refugee Program)
-Tuberculosis Program
-Health Emergency Response
-Immunization Program
-Public Health Nursing
-STD Program
-Mobile Clinics
In addition, the former incumbent was designated as the State mandated Director of Public Health Nursing. That
role entails being responsible for providing clinical oversight and acting as the clinical Subject Matter Expert to
all Public Health Nursing staff as well as all clinic basedl programs within the entire Public Health Division.
Upon the retirement of the Communicable Disease Chief , the role of the Director of Public Health Nursing was
assigned to the incumbent of the Director, Public Health Clinic Services classification. Due to the highly critical
and complex nature of this role, the Department is requesting a salary reallocation of this classification in order to
appropriately compensate the classification.
Currently, the Communicable Disease Chief classification is overseeing the following programs:
-Communicable Disease Program
-Tuberculosis Program
-Immunization Program
-Health Emergency Response
-Public Health Laboratory
-Limited English Access/Health Care Intepreter Network
Due to the signficant decrease in responsibility for this classification as outlined above, the Department is
requesting a downward reallocation of the salary to appropriately compensate the classification.
Attached you will find two organizational charts with one outlining the responsibility of the Communicable
Disease Program Chief classification prior to the reorganization and the other outlining the decreased
responsibility of that classification and the increased responsibility of the Director, Public Health Clinic Services
after the reorganization. The Department was not able to find external salary comparables for the Communicable
Disease Program Chief and hence, used internal Public Health Management classifications as benchmarks to
determine the proposed salary. The Department was able to find some external comparables in our relative labor
market for the Director, Public Health Nursing classification and utilized that data to determine the proposed
salary. The salary surveys and corrresponding job classifications are attached.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the two classifications will not be appropriately compensated for the duties that they
If this action is not approved, the two classifications will not be appropriately compensated for the duties that they
are currently performing.
