RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26131 to add one (1) Substance Abuse Program Supervisor (VHHB) position at salary plan and grade ZA5-1682 ($7,523-$9,144) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of $184,767 with $42,555 in pension costs already included. This position will be fully funded by Driving Under the Influence Program fees.

BACKGROUND:

Alcohol & Other Drug Services (AODS) oversees Contra Costa County’s Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Programs that aim to reduce the number of repeat DUI offenses by persons who complete state-licensed DUI programs. These programs provide participants with education, group counseling, and referrals to ancillary services. AODS is responsible for monitoring, coordinating, and providing technical assistance to Driving Under the Influence (DUI) programs in accordance with applicable Behavioral Health Information Notices, regulations, and policies issued by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). DUI Programs are sustained by client fees which are part of the court order issued by a judge following a DUI court proceeding. The Substance Abuse Program Supervisor will be responsible for monitoring and auditing all DUI programs as required by DHCS. The addition of this position would allow AODS to develop the staff infrastructure needed to continue with programmatic activities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Alcohol and Other Drug Services will not have appropriate staff to monitor and audit their DUI programs and will be out of compliance as required by the Department of Health Care Services.
