Background and Discussion: Due to the changing landscape for service provision and the loss of grant-based program funding, it was determined that a re-organization would be required for the sexual health nursing program. Public Health informed the BOCC on September 30, 2024, and changes were communicated to the sexual health team in October. The sexual health physician role was found to be duplicative and was eliminated as of November 8, 2024, resulting in a severance agreement for Steffi Gratigny.

 

Fiscal Impact: The fiscal impact would include payment of 2 weeks of the employee’s salary.

 

Alignment with Strategic Plan:

                     Be fiscally sustainable

                     Provide essential and mandated service

                     Be community focused

 

Concurrence: Public Health worked with HR and the Attorney’s Office on the restructure and severance agreements.

 

Resolution:  Attached is a motion for approval.
