RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22303 to increase the hours of one Mental Health Clinical Specialist (VQSB) position #15774 from 32/40 to 40/40 at salary plan and grade TC2-1384 ($4,835- $7,178) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Annual cost of the additional hours for this position is approximately $28,313 which includes pension costs of $6,116. The position is fully funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of Mental Health Clinical Specialist position #15774 from 32/40 to 40/40. This position is currently assigned to the East County Adult Mental Health Program. The increase in hours is necessary to assist with reducing the current 13 month wait time for adult psychiatric services. This action will assist in providing adequate service levels to program participants.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this request will negatively impact the ability of the Behavioral Health Division to meet the appropriate level of service to its clients
