1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: April 5, 1993 Action Agenda Item # SUBJECT: Classification Plan Amendment DEPARTMENT: Personnel PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Attachment - Elaine Holmes, Personnel Director Public Health Educator/ Kellogg Project Director TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Class Specification Hillsborough - 732-8181 Durham - 688-7331 Mebane - 227-2031 Chapel Hill -967-9251/968-4501 PURPOSE: To amend the Orange County Classification and Pay Plan by adding the class of Public Health Educator/Kellogg Project Director at Salary Grade 68. BACKGROUND: On January 19, 1993 the Board of Commissioners approved establishing a Project Director position for the Kellogg Community-Based Public Health project. The purpose of the project is to improve the health of minority populations in targeted areas. The new position will be responsible for coordinating the efforts of multiple agencies collaborating on the Kellogg Project. The Health Department submitted a position description of the position' s planned duties and responsibilities to the Personnel department to determine the approved position's classification. The Kellogg Project Director position will be supervised by the Public Health Education Supervisor. The duties and responsibilities of the Kellogg position were compared to those of the Public Health Educator positions currently in the Health Department. The classification review indicates that the duties and responsibilities of the Kellogg position involve a higher level of program management responsibility than that recognized in the existing class of Public Health Educator. This is reflected in the position' s required human relations skills, independence of action and impact on the project results. The position also has supervisory responsibilities and the Public Health Educators do not have such responsibility.
