e Fq allocated to other positions. Thus, instead of a public health nurse, as originally proposed, we are seeking authority to add a half -time social worker to be combined with the half -time Baby Love coordinator position. We have experienced difficulty recruiting for the latter position, the duties of which are very similar to the former. The annualized cost of the half -time position is estimated at $14,300. In addition, we are asking permission to add a clerical supervisor because of the increased complexity of the medical record documentation and the billing procedures required by this program. The need for this supervisory position has been felt for some time since we have added new programs and clinical staff without adding clerical positions to handle the increased patient load. The annualized cost for this position is estimated at $22,900. Both positions requested would be permanent, thereby entitling the employees to benefits, but would have their continuation beyond FY 1990 -91 subject to the availablity of additional grant and /or Medicaid revenue to cover program expenditures. Recruitment and hiring would be accomplished with these conditions fully explained to applicants. The Board of Health reviewed and approved the above proposal at its meeting of October 25, 1990. RECOMMENDATIONCS): To accept the State funding, adopt the proposed budget ordinance amendment, approve the establishment of a permanent half -time Social Worker position and a permanent full - time Clerical Supervisor position (subject to continued funding), and authorize the Chair to sign.
