RECOMMENDATION(S):

Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22028 to add one permanent full-time Mental Health Community Support Worker II (VQVB) at salary level TC5-0968 ($3,018 - $3,669) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, there is an annual cost of approximately $77,857.63, which includes estimated pension costs of $15,630.54. The cost will be entirely offset with budgeted General Funds. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add a Mental Health Community Support Worker II for its Conservatorship/Guardianship program. Conservatorship/Guardianship program recently underwent an audit from Office of the Inspector General Social Security Administration. One of the recommendations from this audit was a change in how the program processes and files for social security benefits on behalf of the program’s clients. The Department has determined a full time Mental Health Community Support Worker II would be the most appropriate classification to perform the filing portion duties within the process and fulfill the needs of this court mandated program.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Conservatorship/Guardianship Program of the Health Services Department will not have adequate staffing to meet the demand and volume of client care for those we serve.
