SUBMITTED BY: Dawan Utecht, Director of Behavioral Health
SUBJECT: Behavioral Health Salary Resolution Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Amendment to the Salary Resolution adding one Principal Staff Analyst position and deleting one Senior Staff Analyst position to the Behavioral Health Org 5630, effective October 8, 2018 as reflected in Appendix C.

The position oversees the Human Resources (HR) unit, which is housed within the Administration Division of DBH.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If your Board does not approve the recommended action, the Principal Staff Analyst would not be added and the Senior Staff Analyst position would not be deleted.
