AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: November 2, 2022
SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolution No. 2022-071 to increase FTE within the 2022-2023'
Deschutes County Budget
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Resolution No. 2022-071 to add a 0.25 regular FTE Community Health
Specialist 1 position and convert a 0.75 limited duration FTE Community Health Specialist 1
position to a 0.75 regular FTE position within the Health Services Fund.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In November of 2020, Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 108, imposing a tax on
inhalant delivery systems and cigarettes. Of the revenue generated from this tax, 10% was
provided to Oregon Health Authority for state and local prevention and cessation. Starting
July 1, 2022, OHA has allocated $10 million of these resources to local public health
authorities based on a funding formula.
Deschutes County was notified on July 26, 2022 that its Fiscal Year 2023 allocation is
$395,172 of new revenue. This allocation amount is one-time, but ongoing funding is
expected. Further, we have written authorization from OHA that regardless of the date the
amendment is executed, the funds would be available for the entire fiscal year period,
7/1/2022 to 6/30/2023.
OHA has approved the County's proposed work. plan and budget, which included an FTE
increase of 0.25 for a Community Health Specialist 1. The work associated with this FTE is
assigned to help promote tobacco cessation available in Deschutes County.
On the assurance of funding from OHA for 0.25 regular FTE, Health Services is requesting
approval to convert the current 0.75 limited duration FTE position to 1.0 regular FTE
Community Health Specialist 1, effective the date of the signed resolution. The 0.75 limited
duration FTE is currently funded through an ongoing grant, 0.4 BH Reserves and 0.35 OHA
Suicide Prevention (ending FY24). Increases in public health modernization funding are
anticipated to support the 0.35 OHA Suicide Prevention Funds after FY24. The 0.25 FTE will
be funded through the additional allocation of Measure 108. Although ongoing funding
through this source is expected, the amount to be allocated is unknown at this time.
Health Services is recommending that this position be regular instead of limited duration
due to the anticipated resources to sustain the position beyond the current limited
duration date of June 29, 2024. However, should funding no longer support the increase in
the position, DCHS will consider the future of this position within the budgeting process.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
The estimated cost for nine months of a 0.25 FTE Community Health Specialist I is $17,434.
A budget resolution will be presented when the intergovernmental agreement for measure
108 funding is received.
