Council upgrades pay and classification for grant-funded community health coordinator
Summary
The council approved ordinance 2025 SO8 to raise the grant-funded community health care coordinator's pay to $75,391.34 annually and amended job classification changes under ordinance 2025 S09 to reflect increased responsibilities; funding comes from an IDPH $315,000 grant for a Mobile Integrated Health program.
Council approved a pay and classification update for the community health care coordinator position tied to a $315,000 Indiana Department of Public Health grant that funds a Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) program.
Staff said the grant funds salaries, benefits, equipment and supplies for MIH, and that the coordinator's responsibilities had expanded to include supervisory duties. The recommended annual salary was $75,391.34, to be paid from the grant funds (staff remarks, SEG 429–444). Councilwoman Boigner (speaker 12) praised the role's community impact and moved approval; council recorded unanimous approval on both the ordinance to amend salary (SO8) and the job-classification ordinance S09 that reclassifies the position (votes recorded, SEG 472–485; SEG 508–525).
Why it matters: the change recognizes added supervisory duties for a grant-funded position central to a mobile, in-home care program that includes screenings, vaccinations and follow-up services. Staff emphasized funding is available from the grant and that MIH delivers ALS-level care and social supports as part of a broader patient-centric program (staff, SEG 445–455).
Next steps: staff will implement the pay adjustment and complete the classification update in payroll, funded from the grant.
