FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Mental Health (DMH) assume the Mental Health
Commission would require one new professional staff to assist them in
improving their oversight of DMH. One Program Coordinator ($36,792) would be
responsible for overall administrative assistance to the Mental Health
Commission pertaining to the policies of DMH. Equipment ($5,173) would
include office furniture and a personal computer for one FTE. Expenses
($8,747) would office and communication expenses, travel expenses, and rental
space for one FTE.
Oversight assumes no additional rental space would be needed. In addition,
Oversight assumes the proposal allows for up to two new full-time staff to be
employed at the pleasure of the Commission and has therefore ranged costs of
approximately $112,000 annually for up to two FTE.
