DISCUSSION:
In October 2022, the Humboldt County Correctional Facility (HCCF) administration re-evaluated the needs of the Kitchen and Laundry Services Division for the correctional facility. The previous staffing model for kitchen and laundry services within the facility consisted of 1 Correctional Services Manager, 1 Food Services Supervisor, 4 Correctional Cooks and 2 Correctional Work Crew Leaders for a total of 8 full-time positions. HCCF has struggled for the past 3 years to fill all the kitchen and laundry positions needed for the minimum staffing requirements to run the facility. There have been periods of time where three of the four Correctional Cook positions were vacant. HCCF administration has recommended restructuring the 8 positions to 1 Kitchen and Laundry Supervisor and 7 Work Crew Leaders. The first phase of the restructuring was approved by the Board on Nov. 29, 2022. In order to complete the restructuring, the remaining vacant positions need to be reallocated to Correctional Work Crew Leaders effective immediately.

Narrative Explanation of Staffing Impact:
The restructuring of these positions will likely lead to successful recruitments. Filling the positions will significantly reduce the amount of overtime that several staff members have had to do in order to keep the division running. It will be a morale booster to adequately staff the division, so staff are less stressed and overworked. This staffing model also provides for Correctional Management oversight as the Kitchen/Laundry Supervisor will report directly to a Correctional Lieutenant. This will make a much more efficient and effective operation of Kitchen and Laundry services within the correctional facility, and attract a higher level of applicants.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Framework.
Core Roles: Create opportunities for improved safety and health
New Initiatives: Invest in county employees
Strategic Plan: N/A
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could deny this request for approval to reallocate the positions, however this is not recommended as it would continue to put the HCCF Kitchen and Laundry staff in an untenable situation. If the unsustainable amount of overtime is not rectified for existing staff it could lead to further vacancies which would be catastrophic for the division.
