The attached P-300 is a request to:
1) Revise and retitle the- class .of Assistant Environmental Health Inspector
to Environmental Health' Specia list Trainee and reallocate- it .to salary
level C5-1719 ($2534. -; 3080) ;
2). Revise and retitle the class of Environmental ' Health Inspector to
Environmental Health Specialist I and reallocate it to salary level
C5-1875 ($2961 - 3599) ;
3) Revise and retitle the class of Senior Environmental Health Inspector to
Environmental Health Specialist .II and reallocate it to salary level

4) -Revise and retitle the. class of Supervising Environmental Health
Inspector to Supervising Environmental Health Specialist and reallocate it
to salary level C5-2125 ($3802 - 46211.
The following background elaborates-. Today there are twice as many fixed units,
ie. swimming pools, restaurants , markets and hospitals in our County than in
1970. There is also- an increased demand for land division, septic systems;
wells, and small water systems for which the Environmental Health Division is
solely responsible. This also increases the number of complaint resolutions
within these and other fields of environmental health; responsibility.
To address this growth and to accomodate the service needs of the community the
Environmental Health Division has reorganized its General Program structure.
In this reorganization the inspection staff has assumed an expanded role in
field enforcement activities. The duties now performed by staff include the
investigation and resolution of a variety public health concerns; the enfor-
cement of facility closures and citations; the review of facility plans and the
issuing of permits and licenses. I- have attached the revised and retitled spe-
cifications for the Environmental Health Specialist class series to describe the
emphasis now placed on the field enforcement activities.
To compensate for .this, increase in delegated responsiblity, we, are requesting a
salary increase for the four classifications affected by this reorganization.
This increase will also help to bring our compensation inline with what the
surrounding counties pay for comparable responsibilities. For quite 'some time
now our salaries have been significantly lower than .the prevail-ingrates.
(Salary survey attached) .
A-41 3181
The cost incurred by this action will be covered 100% with permit and license
fees collected by the Environmental Health Division. Since this' is a priority
issue for the Health Services .Department,- I hope that this action can be sche
doled for a Board agenda during the month of February. If you have any .
questions, I can be reached at 313-6620.

SUBJECT: Salary increases for Environmental Health Specialist Series
As a follow up to Supervisor Tom Power's memo to Phil Batchelor and Phil 's memo
to Mark Finucane regarding staffing and salary of classes in the Environmental
Health Inspector series, the Health Services Department has submitted. a _P3 0 to
raise the salary of the three working level classifications in the series by 15%
and the supervisory class by 17%.
According to a Health Services Department salary survey (attached) Contra Costa
County ranks sixth among six Bay Area . counties surveyed. The current and
proposed salaries of the four classes in the series are listed below:
Current Proposed
Asst. Environmental Health Inspector
C5-1579 ($2203-2678) C5-1719 ($2534-3080)
Environmental Health Inspector
C5-1735 ($2575-3129) C5-1875 ($2961-3599)
Senior Environmental Health Inspector
C5-1808 ($2769-3366) C5-1948 ($3185-3872)
Supervising Environmental Health Inspector
C5-1968 ($3250-3950) C5-2125 ($3802-4621)
The salary increases, if granted, will move Contra Costa from sixth to second
place among Bay Area Counties, behind San Francisco.
The Official reason for requesting the salary increases for these
classifications is based on a reorganization of the Environmental Health Division
and increased duties and responsibilities.
According to Shelley Pighin she has advised Local #1 which has no objection to
the planned increases. I plan to confirm this with Bob DaRoza before placing
the P300 on the Board agenda. The department is also requesting a title change
in the classes from Environmental Health Inspector to Environmental Health
Specialist.
I plan to place this transaction on the Board of Supervisor's Agenda for March
12, 1991.

County Administrator
SUBJECT: STAFFING OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION
Attached for your action is a memorandum from Supervisor Powers
raising concerns regarding the level of staffing in the Richmond
Office because staff is being lost to other counties because of
our relatively low pay scale. As Supervisor Powers notes, to the
extent that this staff are substantially supported by fees, we
need to insure that we have enough staff available to generate
the fee revenue. If it is necessary to look at pay increases to
remain competitive in a revenue-producing area, then we need to
do that.
May I have a copy of any correspondence you or Dr. Walker have
had with Supervisor Powers, the Personnel Department or this
office on this subject, along with your analysis. of the extent to
which we have a problem, what you view as the cause of the
problem and what your proposed solution and recommendations for
action are.

To: William Walker., M.D. , .Medical Director
From: Tom, Powers, First District Supervisor
Subject:. Environmental Health Division
I have just become aware of the loss of personnel in the
Environmental Health Division which has necessitated inspectors being''
moved from our Richmond. Health facility virtually closing that office.
'As I understand the situation, we are losing staff to other counties
because of Contra Costa County's low pay scale. I was told many
counties' 'entry level for inspectors is equival,ent to the first step in
our supervisor's position.
Because this division is a fee generating operation, we are foolish
to cut off our ability to generate revenue by losing the staff that
creates it.
I believe this is a case for an emergency, review of fees, staffing
and pay levels. I ' am sending a copy of this memo to the County
Administrator asking that we look at. this special circumstance.
