RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPOINT Dr. Matthew White as the Acting Director of Behavioral Health/Mental Health and interim local director of mental health services for Contra Costa County pursuant to Welfare & Institutions Code section 5607, as recommended by the Health Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This acting appointment will not result in salary and benefit costs due to Dr. White being a contractor under the Traditions Psychology Group, Inc. contract. The contract amendment with this contractor, which is also on this agenda, does not include a change to the payment limit. However, the contract amendment requests an increase in the hourly rate set forth for the Psychiatric Medical Director to account for the additional duties Dr. White will be performing as the Acting Director of Behavioral Health/Mental Health and interim local director of mental health services. Previous rate was approximately $241 per hour and the new rate will be approximately $277 as outlined in agenda item for the Traditions Psychology Group, Inc. contract amendment.
