BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Gutierrez stated that he was informed that a meeting was being held on the afternoon of 9/25/01 at Mental Health regarding the staff/client ratio.  This subject was an area of concern that he had discussed in this year's budget hearings.  Staff was requested to report back to the Board as to what steps will be taken to address this issue.

Supervisor Gutierrez also questioned the feasibility of the San Joaquin General Hospital having its own Human Resources Department rather than being under the County's main Human Resources Department.  The County Administrator was directed to look into the matter and report back to the Board.

Supervisor Mow asked if the County has procedures in place should any county employee, who is in the military reserves or the National Guard, be called to perform military service.  He pointed out that if vacancies occur as a result of this action, the county would have to fill those essential and vital positions on a temporary basis.  County Counsel said that the Board would be provided with material that is being sent to all county  department heads with respect to the obligations the county has in this regard.
