Committee green-lights multiple DHS contracts and staffing moves, including psychiatric services through May 2026
Summary
Members approved several Department of Human Services items: a mental health services agreement with Patrick O'Neil, a psychiatric services contract with Dr. Tabasan Yasin Khan through 05/23/2026, and authorization to create a senior behavioral health care coordinator position.
The committee approved a series of Department of Human Services items on April 18, including contracts and a staffing authorization.
Chair introduced Resolution 7 to enter an agreement with Patrick O'Neil for provision of mental health services, and Resolution 14 to contract with Dr. Tabasan Yasin Khan to provide psychiatric services through 05/23/2026; both motions were seconded and carried. Members also approved Resolution 16 to create and fill one senior behavioral health care coordinator position after a short committee discussion about removing an erroneous backfill line on the resolution.
Committee discussion focused on ensuring the resolution language matched staffing intentions; a staff member confirmed the change would be addressed before final administrative processing. All items passed without recorded roll-call votes.
