Costa
DATE: August 1 , 1984 County
SUBJECT: Contract for Psychological Counseling
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the chairperson to sign a contract on behalf of the County for
psychological counseling services to Sheriff's Department employees for
the period July 1 , 1984 through June 30, 1985, at a cost of $22,096.
BACKGROUND
For the last two years this department has had "short form" contracts
with Occupational Health Services (and Mathis & Associates) to provide
emergency psychological counseling to all sworn employees of this department.
The Sheriff (and others in the field) feel that stress counseling can reduce
workers compensation and disability retirement claims. All major law enforce-
ment agencies have similar contracts. The cost of the contract FY 83-84 was
$16,250.
The Sheriff has negotiated a new contract to provide limited service to
non-sworn employees of the department; many of these employees (example:
dispatchers) are in equally stressful jobs and require similar coverage.
The cost of the new contract is $22,096, and has been included as a high
priority item in the Sheriff's budget.
