RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26137 to increase the hours of vacant Substance Abuse Counselor (VHVC) position #18447 from 32/40 to 40/40 at salary plan and grade TC5-1436 ($5,897 - $7,168) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual increase cost of approximately $26,162, with $6,671 in pension cost included. The increase will be fully funded by 2011 Realignment AB 109 funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the position hours from 32/40 to 40/40. The Detention 2011 Realignment AB 109 program has seen a significant shift in program offerings now focused on the mental health/substance abuse needs of detained patients in their Detention facilities. This increase in services require direct engagement from mental health staff, beginning with the Substance Abuse Counselor. The Substance Abuse Counselor will be responsible for providing individual and group counseling to those individuals experiencing problems related to substance abuse; and developing and implementing intervention and treatment plans related to substance abuse intervention and rehabilitation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department will not be able to address its Detention AB109 program's increase in services.
