Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution No.21516 to add three Mental Health Clinical Specialist (VQSB) positions at
salary level QT2 1384 ($4382.92 - 6506.46) in the Health Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost of approximately $383,723, including pension costs of
$83,152, and will be funded by the California Health Facilities Financing Authority.
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department's Behavioral Health Division has been awarded funding for a Mobile Crisis Support
Team through the California Health Facilities Financing Authority. The Mobile Crisis Support Team will provide an
alternative to psychiatric emergency services (PES) admission by delivering crisis intervention services, providing
short-term case management, and linking consumers with mental health treatment through the County's regional
outpatient clinics. The Mobile Crisis Support Team will divert both children and adults from PES admissions and
minimize their risk for subsequent hospitalization. The three new Mental Health Clinical Specialist positions are
being requested to staff this Mobile Crisis Support Team.
