EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
If approved, this request adds one 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE) Cook II - Limited Term to the Napa County Department of Corrections.

FISCAL & STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT
|
Is there a Fiscal Impact? |
Yes |
|
Is it currently budgeted? |
No |
|
Is it Mandatory or Discretionary? |
Discretionary |
|
Discretionary Justification: |
California Penal Code Section 6030 establishes minimum standards for local correctional facilities, which includes health and sanitary conditions. The addition of a Cook II - Limited Term will relieve overtime worked by current staff and ensure that meals continue to be prepared and served up to standards. |
|
Is the general fund affected? |
Yes |
|
Future fiscal impact: |
The increased cost of salaries and benefits for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2021-2022 is estimated at $14,333. The annualized cost is estimated at $86,000, and will be budgeted accordingly in future fiscal years. |
|
Consequences if not approved: |
If the addition of a Cook II - Limited Term is not approved, the two current Cooks will have to continue working mandatory overtime, and the Department will struggle to serve meals up to regulation standards. |
|
County Strategic Plan pillar addressed: |
Effective and Open Government |
|
|

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Napa County Department of Corrections’ (NCDC) Kitchen Team is responsible for providing more than 200 meals three times a day, seven days a week, and is allocated three Cook positions. One incumbent has been out on an extended leave of absence, which has left the kitchen short staffed, resulting in current staff working overtime, and management unable to approve planned leaves. Management has attempted to fill the need with Extra Help Cooks, but this has proved challenging. A limited term Cook II will alleviate the need for Extra Help and will provide consistent coverage for the kitchen.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources and the Director of Corrections requests adoption of a Resolution amending the Departmental Allocation List for the Napa County Department of Corrections, effective April 30, 2022, through June 30, 2024, with a temporary net increase of one full-time equivalent, and an increase to the General Fund.
