Recommendation Concerning the Approval of Creating Five Temporary Jail Medical Services Positions - Gordon C. Pike, Corrections Department Director

That the Board ratify the action of creating and filling the following five temporary medical services positions for the Corrections Department, Jail Division, Medical and Mental Health, for a period of 90 days to assist with the medical care needed for the individuals that sustained injures during the flood event and jail explosion:

A. Certified Medical Assistant position (1);
B. Court Liaison position (1);
C. Emergency Medical Specialists position (1); and
D. Licensed Practical Nurse position (2).

[Funding: Fund 112, Disaster Recovery Fund, Cost Center 330491, Object Code 51201]
