Board approves reallocation of DD Services position funds to add a services coordinator
Summary
Klamath County commissioners approved leaving a Quality Assurance Analyst vacancy unfilled and reallocating the funds to hire an additional services coordinator in the Developmental Disabilities Services (DD Services) program; fiscal impact for FY25-26 estimated at $9,118.20.
The board approved a department request from DD Services to reallocate salary funds from a vacant Quality Assurance Analyst (QAA) position to hire an additional services coordinator. The DD Services director, Heidi Gaither, proposed assigning the QAA duties to two service-coordinator supervisors and using the vacant position to add capacity amid rising numbers of individuals qualifying for services.
The county reported a fiscal impact of approximately $9,118.20 for the 2025-26 fiscal year tied to the reallocation. Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the reallocation. During the discussion a commissioner noted that revenue for DD Services comes from state Medicaid billing and "cannot be used for any other purpose," and the board recorded that the department receives no general-fund support for that program.
Ending: Staff will implement the reallocation and reassign QAA duties as described by the director.
