fully executed copy will be returned to you.

Dear Bill:

City ena8ers
Me fr
I am again pleased to enclose the twelve-month statistical survey of
our Employee Assistance Program contract with City of Lodi from October 1,
1986 through September 30, 1987. The statistics continue to reflect a
large number of Lodi employees utilizing this service.
Tl-*-: program seems to -be accepted...and.0 ed by all departments of City
of Lodi and, while this does not specifically appear on the statistics by=
all levels of personnel. Interestingly enough, requests for help with
problems of children and/or teenagers increased considerably this past
year, as did requests for help for anxiety feelings and/or mood shifts.
The requests for service for very specific personal problems, such as
anxiety feelings, suggests to me that people are trusting the program and
are willing to come for help for themselves. This is indeed very
positive.
This past year's contract between City of Lodi and Family Service
Agency specifies a maximum of 40 hours per month for total services.
Family Service Agency staff has been averaging 40.05 hours per month for
services provided. Of the total hours provided, 284.25 were for direct
counseling sessions, while the additional 196.25 hours were for indirect
services including orientation meetings with employees, consultations with
City department heads and supervisory staff, telephone consultations and
referrals, preparation of informative materials for City employees, and
administration. The average number of counseling sessions for each
employee was 5.8 interviews.
We' have continued to be very available for any crisis situations which
arise. We have also continued to talk with persons who are requesting
services which can best be provided elsewhere, such as family planning,
educational resources, alcohol programs, etc.

With few exceptions, service for our Employee Assistance contract with
you is provided in the Family Service Agency office at 303 South Pleasant
Avenue in Lodi. Clients are seen during work hours, lunch hours, and also
evening hours. We continue to provide service in both English and
Spanish.
Throughout the four years this contract has been in existence, we have
enjoyed this contract with you. Apparently the majority of City of Lodi
employees are aware of the benefits of the program. We especially enjoy
the very trusting relationship we have with your administrative and
supervisory staff and have appreciated our being asked to be ._vailable to
supervisory and managerial personnel who consult with us over potential
difficult situations in the work place.
The four years of the program have shown the benefit available for
City of Lodi. We continue to expect employees and dependents will utilize
this service in the year to come.
In our contract for the coming year, Family Service'Agency-'would ,
prefer to continue with the maximum of forty hours per month for total
services, unless you would prefer to increase the time spent. On the
assumption of the same time spent, the only increase to the total contract
would be a 78 cost -of -living adjustment, which is in line with our Agency
personnel salary adjustments. This increases the total contract beginning
October 1, 1987 to $22,080.00.
Thank you again for continuing your contract with us. We enjoy
working with your employees, as well as having such a good working
relationship with so many of your referring staff. We hope that City of
Lodi finds this relationship as satisfying as we do.
I will be pleased to meet with you or other members of the
administrative staff to further discuss the program.

WHEREAS, AGENCY represents that it is equipped, staffed and prepared
to :provide these..se.rvi.ces..,.,.and_that it is staffed with persons who ,have

friends, divorce, anxiety feelings, sexual concerns, depression and
loneliness, general insecurity, aging-parent/self, and preparation for

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representation,
promises or covenants contained herein, LODI and AGENCY agree as follows:
1. Services: AGENCY agrees to provide services as follows:
(a) AGENCY will provide on as needed basis thirty (30) unit

-1-
'tee.
A
� r
disabling or create problem_ on the job; how to make a referral; and
familiarizing employees with how this counseling program can help the
troubled employee who, when helped wi`h personal and family problems, can
possibly be more effective on the job.
Special awareness training will be provided to supervisory and
managerial personnel focusing on recognizing how family -related and
personal problems adversely affect an employee's work performance.
(b) AGENCY will accept referrals for counseling of any LODI

and/or their legally recognized dependents may refer themselves to AGENCY.
_(c) AGENCY will provide up to eight (8) unit hours of counseling
interviews with the employee and/or his '61igible'dependents for diagnosis.,.
assessment, short-term treatment, and referral whenever longer-term
counseling and/or possible psychiatric service is indicated. Counseling

death to another person.

personnel may wish consultation to be better able to handle the employee's
problems on the job.
