Memorandum
This resolution seeks Council approval for a service contract with the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office for drug abuse screening services to 15th Judicial District Court defendants who are participants in the Court's Sobriety Court, Mental Health Court and Veterans Treatment Court programs. These services are funded through grants from the Supreme Court of Michigan State Court Administrative Office for Grant Fiscal Year 2015, and without regard to City Fiscal Year.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Services provided under this contract will be funded through the State Court Administrative Office Drug Court Grant Program (SCAO-MDCGP) ($2,580.00), the Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program (SCAO-MMHCGP) ($29,800.00) and the Veterans Treatment Court Grant Program (SCAO-MVTCGP) ($36,993.20). City Council previously approved accepting the grant awards (R-14-308, R-14-371 and R-14-372).
Approval of a ten percent (10%) contract contingency is also requested to allow the Court to increase services should additional funds become available for drug testing services through an approved SCAO grant program budget amendment [e.g., approved grant project line-item budget adjustments within the total program awards.]
