Resolution to Approve a Service Contract with Home of New Vision to Provide Mental Health Treatment Services to Mental Health Court and Veterans Treatment Court Defendants ($45,720.00)
Memorandum
This resolution seeks Council approval for a service contract with Home of New Vision for mental health treatment services to 15th Judicial District defendants who are participants in the Court's Mental Health Court and Veterans Treatment Court programs. These services are funded by 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 Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program (SCAO-MMHCGP) ($35,720.00) and the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Veterans Treatment Court Grant Program (SCAO-MVTCGP) ($10,000.00). City Council previously approved accepting the grant awards (R-14-308 and R-14-371).
Approval of a ten percent (10%) contract contingency is also requested to allow the Court to increase services should additional funds become available for mental health services through an approved SCAO grant program budget amendment [e.g., approved grant project line-item budget adjustments within the total program award.]
