BY: HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE- SUSAN KUHN, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH - PSYCHIATRIST SALARY EQUITY - PROGRAM
ENHANCEMENT APPLICATION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Community Mental Health Division has in recent years experienced
increasing difficulty in recruiting qualified Staff Psychiatrists for its programs,
due in large part to the disparity between the County salary range for this class
and the salary range for the corresponding State classification which is available
to psychiatrists working in Clinton Valley Center and Fairlawn Center in Pontiac,
as well as in other State hospitals; and
WHEREAS Community Mental Health and State inpatient facilities in the County
are planning for State hospital staff privileges to be granted to CMH staff
psychiatrists, in order to increase the continuity of care for Community Mental
Health clients as they move in and out of these State facilities; and
WHEREAS this planned working relationship between State and County staff
psychiatrists also suggests that County salary levels for these employees should
be comparable with salaries paid by the State; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board has
submitted a funding proposal to the Michigan Department of Mental Health to
enhance the budget of CMH directly operated programs sufficient to upgrade
staff psychiatrist salaries to the comparable State range of $65,250 (base) to
$86,485 (five-year step); and
WHEREAS State funds have been requested in the amount of $79,132 full-year
cost, which would require County match of $8,793:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approve the Psychiatrist Salary Equity Application as recommended by the
Community Mental Health Services Board.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Health and Human Services Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
