MEETING DATE: November 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Request for authorization to add 1.0 FTE within Health Services
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Resolution No. 2022-073 to add 1.0 regular FTE Community Health
Specialist II position within the Health Services Fund, effective January 1, 2023.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes County is receiving new and additional resources from Oregon Health Authority
(OHA) through the Healthy Systems Division Problem Gambling Services Section. The
additional resources are for two components within Problem Gambling Services —
Prevention, and Outreach and Referral.
Recent changes at OHA allow for a substantial increase to Deschutes County Health
Services (DCHS) baseline allocation for the Prevention component from $82,000 to
$204,466. This will be a recurring allocation.
The Outreach and Referral component is new to Deschutes County. Current OHA Problem
Gambling Services recipients are able to request funding for Outreach and Referral
annually. The allocation to Deschutes County for calendar year 2023 is $92,000. These
resources will have to be applied for every year.
Both allocations include a 15 percent inflation increase above DCHS' requested amounts,
$26,670 and $12,000 respectively. The 15 percent is allocated by OHA in one lump sum at
the beginning of the contract period.
The cumulative allocations allow the Department to support 1.0 FTE as well as additional
materials and services for program activities. These efforts will essentially double the
current Prevention service levels, develop Outreach and Referral services, and allow for
important integration into suicide prevention programming, specifically to the Veteran and
older adult populations of Deschutes County.
On the assurance of recurring funding from OHA to support a 1.0 regular FTE, Health
Services is requesting approval to add 1.0 FTE regular Community Health Specialist II,
January 1, 2023. Should funding no longer support the position, DCHS will consider the
future of this position within the budgeting process.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
The estimated cost for 12 months of a 1.0 FTE Community Health Specialist II is $158,523.
A budget resolution will be forthcoming once the intergovernmental agreement for
Problem Gambling Services funding is received.
