body
Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact.
Background Information:
The Environmental Health Department is requesting to revise the classification specification for Environmental Health Specialist I/II/Senior to update the Education and Experience section. The classification currently states that “Possession of a valid certificate of registration as an Environmental Health Specialist issued by the California State Department of Health Services is required.” The requested revisions will remove the California State Department of Health Services and replace it with the California Department of Public Health, as this is the agency now in charge of the Registered Environmental Health Specialist registration and testing process.
The Joint Council Bargaining Unit has been notified of the proposed change and an agreement has been reached.
