SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Managed Health
Network, Incorporated for counseling services in an amount up to $66,559 for the period of July 1, 2007
through June 30, 2008.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
100% County; Sheriffs Office Budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Sheriff and others in the law enforcement field feel that stress counseling can reduce workers compensation
and disability retirement claims. For eighteen years, the Office of the Sheriff has contracted to provide
emergency psychological counseling to all employees. All other major law enforcement agencies have similar
contracts. This program has become an essential part of the overall employee assistance package and many
employees have received significant help in their personal and professional lives by utilizing the available
services. Managed Health Network, Incorporated has proven to be a valuable asset to provide this employee
assistance service.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
There is the potential for the increase in stress related workers compensation claims and disability retirement
claims if counseling services are not provided as part of a comprehensive employee assistance program.
