RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22310 to increase the hours of one Mental Health Clinical Specialist (VQSB) position #9360 from 30/40 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 $35,392, including pension costs of $7,645 which is included. The position is fully funded by Mental Health Services Act Innovation Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to increase the hours of Mental Health Clinical Specialist position #9360 from 30/40 to 40/40. The Coaching to Wellness Project in West County, pairs clinicians with individuals who have experience as a consumer and/or family members in the mental health system and have been trained to provide mental health and health wellness coaching to the recipients of integrated health and mental health services. The increase in hours is necessary to provide 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.
