RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 25976 to add one (1) full-time Clinical Psychologist (VQTB) position at salary plan and grade TC2-1483 ($6,061-$8,564) and cancel one (1) vacant Mental Health Community Support Worker II (VQVB) position #18451 at salary plan and grade TC5-0968 ($3,533-$4,294) in the Health Services department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of $174,188 with $39,857 in pension cost included. The Mental Health Community Support Worker II position will be canceled to partially offset the cost. The remaining cost of $77,926 will be fully funded by Medi-Cal Administrative Activities revenues (Department 0451).











BACKGROUND:

The Conservatorship/Guardianship program in the Behavioral Health Division provides conservatorship services to individuals who are not able to manage their personal needs or finances. Due to an increase in court referrals, the program is requesting to add a Clinical Psychologist to provide expert testimony in conservatorship and guardianship cases. Expert court testimony is required to be provided by a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist. Historically, this duty has been performed by contracted positions. The addition of this position is necessary to provide continued expert testimony and will allow the Behavioral Health Division to hire permanent staff to fulfill the duties. The Behavioral Health Division has also determined that the Mental Health Community Support Worker II position, initially established to support conservatorship/guardianship requests and fee collections, has never been filled and has determined the position no longer meets their operational needs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Conservatorship/Guardianship program will not have appropriate staff to provide expert testimony which will cause severe delays in conservatorship and guardianship court cases.
