The City of Redmond requested that a new Behavioral Health Professional classification be added to the city’s 2025 non‑represented pay plans so departments can hire non‑management mental‑health staff for alternative crisis care.
Human Resources Director Catherine Laird told the Committee of the Whole on May 13 that the request would add the classification to the N (non‑represented regular) and NS (non‑represented supplemental/temporary) pay plans and that there is no budget impact or new full‑time equivalents attached to the change. She asked the committee to place the updated pay plans on the May 20 council consent agenda; the committee raised no objections to placing the item on consent.
