DISCUSSION:
Miyanna Dorrell has been working in the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) as an extra-help employee since January 2018. Prior to that she was a full-time Emergency Communications Dispatcher, however due to the hours and staffing levels she could no longer work rotating shifts. She voluntarily separated employment but requested to be brought on as extra-help. Due to the unprecedented shortage of Emergency Communications Dispatchers, her request was granted. Since that time, the ECC has filled five of its six vacancies. Most of the new hires are currently in training and unable to operate independently. This requires ECC to continue to use fully trained extra-help employees until the new staff are fully trained. Ms. Dorrell has been working an average of 40 hours per week for a total of 800.5 hours this fiscal year. Therefore, staff recommends a waiver of the 960-hour maximum limit of extra-help hours for Miyanna Dorrell and an extension of 960 hours, for a maximum of 1,920 hours this fiscal year.
