Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

 

I respectfully request "Use of Available Funds" in the Health and Human Services Salaries Account to establish the position of Community Outreach & Harm Reduction Director in the Health & Human Services Department. This is a new position that was not previously authorized in the FY2016 Operating Budget. Health and Human Services will use available funds in the currently funded Clinical Youth Specialist position supplanted by a Department of Justice Grant to create the Director of Community Outreach and Harm Reduction Director.  Upon receipt of the grant funds, the Clinical Youth Specialist position will be advertised and filled to continue the mental health efforts at HHS.

 

The rate of pay for the Community Outreach & Harm Reduction Director is $68,973.56 per annum.

 

Respectfully,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
