Ann requested <br /> background material in advance of your Tuesday, April 21, 19.81 meeting be given <br /> all Commissioners. On Thuzoday, April 16, 1981, the Board of Health met to <br /> formulate an appeal on our seven present or soon to be vacant positions. <br /> APPEAL FORMULATION PROCESS <br /> Appropriate staff gave extensive impact information and priority ranked <br /> the vacancies for the Director. The Director took this information and form- <br /> ulated appeal recommendations to the Board. The Board formulated the final appeals. <br /> POSITION OPENINGS - CURRENT THROUGH MAY 29, 1981 <br /> (Listed In Appeal Priority Order) <br /> 1. Clerk Typist III- Carrboro- Present Opening <br /> Largest impact is on the dental program and secondly on the patient load of <br /> all other clinics. Medical clinic coverage has been brought down from <br /> Hilloboruupx one day per wnok for the last month, which we can not do now. <br /> The dental program has reduced up to 20% the patient load so assistants can <br /> cover clerical d"iiou. This reduction has occurred in the existing schedule <br /> and by not taking advantage of free additional dentist service. Un are, <br /> therefore losing approximately $900'00 per month ($10,800 per year) fee <br /> income, missing out on free dentist time, wasting foundation money, underusing <br /> equipment and increasing dental pain and problems. <br />
