RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21235 to add three (3) Medical Social Workers - Project (X4V2) in the Health Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action would result in a total annual cost of $335,795.00 associated with adding three positions of Medical Social Workers. These positions are funded 100% through the Ryan White Part A.
BACKGROUND:
The AIDs Program currently has three (3) temporary MSW I positions. The temporary positions were developed as a stop-gap measure to ensure HIV case management services following the loss of 2 Community Based Organizations (CBOs) (a combined 5 FTE case managers). The service has been put out to bid twice in the past year and the department has been unable to locate a CBO with the capabilities to assume these three (3) positions funded by the Ryan White Care Act. The department is approaching the maximum number of hours for some of the temporary staff positions.
