SUBJECT: Position Adjustment Resolution #19962
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION : Adopt Position Adjustment Resolution # 19962 reclassifying position #9716
from Mental Health Specialist II to Mental Health Clinical Specialist.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost associated with this action is approximately $4241 annually and will be
covered by increased Medi-Cal reimbursements.
BACKGROUND: Both Mental Health Specialist II and Mental Health Clinical Specialist perform
similar duties, however, the Mental Health Clinical Specialist classification requires a state license .
The incumbent in the position has obtained the state license and as a result, Health Services will
receive Medi-Cal reimbursements from the state for the additional state licensed staff member.
Duties of the position include: providing individual, family, and group therapy services; formulating
diagnoses and developing treatment programs; preparing social case histories with emphasis upon
psycho-social factors affecting the client; and participating in staff development programs. These
are all duties indicative of a Mental Health Clinical Specialist. Incumbent meets the minimum
qualifications for Mental Health Clinical Specialist as well as all the criteria for reclassification without
exam.
RESULT OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this action is not approved, the incumbent will not be
compensated appropriately for the duties being performed. Furthermore, Health Services will lose
out on the additional Medi-Cal revenues that will be received from the addition of a state licensed
position.
