RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26082 to add one (1) Mental Health Program Manager (VQDC) position at salary plan and grade ZA5-1844 ($8,832-$10,735) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of $213,802 with $49,959 in pension costs already included. This position will be fully funded by Measure X dollars.

BACKGROUND:

The Miles Hall Crisis Response Center is a central component of the Behavioral Health division’s A3 Model (Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime) which delivers safe and appropriate care to Contra Costa residents experiencing behavioral health emergencies. The Response Center serves as headquarters for crisis triage staff, mobile crisis teams, and a dispatch system to deploy mobile crisis units. The Response Center also has peer respite services and serves as a restoration center. This includes behavioral health programs that provide urgent, on-demand, in-person care for mental health, substance use, and co-occurring crises. The Mental Health Program Manager will oversee staff at the urgent care clinic, peer respite services, and restoration center. The Mental Health Program Manager will ensure timely and quality access to appropriate behavioral health care.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Behavioral Health division will struggle to provide timely care to Contra Costa residents experiencing a behavioral health emergency.
