Pre-Trial Social Worker Position Discussion <br /> County Attorney Whitney Parrish noted Commissioner Reives has been looking into ways <br /> the County can help to provide mental health service relief to law enforcement and assist <br /> those with mental health and substance abuse disorders. Assistant County Manager of <br /> Governmental Support Angelina Noel said a pre- trial social worker would be able to help <br /> decrease the gap in services. The intention is for position to act as a community social <br /> worker that works closely with the magistrate's office and pre-trial program. This <br /> individual would have the capacity to develop treatment plans for individuals and be able <br /> to train County Social Services employees. Ms. Noel said the community social worker <br /> position is in the next fiscal year's budget, but it was not included in the pay plan and <br /> would need to be added as a grade 72. County Manager Lisa Minter recommends using <br /> ARPA revenue loss money to pay for this position from now until June 30, 2024. Ms. Noel <br /> said the position will be on- call and provide support for law enforcement after hours, but <br /> noted the County needs to assess the needs of the community to determine what times <br /> that position will be needed throughout the day. The office of this position has not yet <br /> been determined, but will report to the Pretrial Coordinator. <br /> Motion: Motion to add the Licensed Clinical Social Worker Position under grade <br /> 72 in the pay study and be funded from the ARPA revenue loss funds from now <br /> through June 30, 2024. <br /> Mover: Robert Reives <br /> For: 7 - Dr. Andre Knecht, Robert Reives, Cameron Sharpe, Kirk Smith, Bill Carver, Mark <br /> Lovick, Taylor Vorbeck <br /> Motion Result: Passed <br /> V.
