Council approves job description for grant‑funded Municipal Court Behavioral Health Coordinator
Summary
Council approved a job description for a grant‑funded Municipal Court Behavioral Health Coordinator described as a social‑work role paid through a mental health court grant; staff said the grant had a one‑year no‑cost extension and the role will be explicitly designated as grant‑funded in hiring.
The committee approved a job description to create a Municipal Court Behavioral Health Coordinator position that staff described as a social‑work role paid from an existing mental health court grant.
"This would be a social work position that would fall under our mental health mental health court grant for fiscal year 20 27," the staff presenter said, and later added that the city had filed for a one‑year no‑cost extension to continue grant funding through the next fiscal year. Staff said the position would be designated as grant‑funded in hiring and would be reevaluated at the end of the grant period.
Members asked what would happen if the grant did not continue; staff replied the job would be explicitly advertised as a one‑year, grant‑funded position. A motion to adopt the job description was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
