The School of Dentistry has provided this service since the inception of the Dental <br />Program 20 years ago. The Dental Director provides clinical oversight and consultation to <br />health department staff and to the variety of dental attendings, residents, and students that <br />provide actual clinical services to the program. The Dental Director develops dental policies <br />and consults with the Health Director as requested. During this year, the department will be <br />exploring the consolidation of the dental director role with the part-time faculty that the <br />department also utilizes through the School of Dentistry. <br />The agreement is for $10,000 annually and has not increased. The County Attorney has <br />reviewed the agreement, and changes have been incorporated as a result of that review. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The agreement is for $10,000 for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and is included <br />in the approved budget for the department. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the agreement <br />and authorize the Chair to sign the FY 2002-2003 agreement. <br />
