Title
Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Washtenaw County Community Mental Health to provide Mental Health Treatment Services to Mental Health Court Defendants ($19,150.00 amendment; $ 85,353.00 total contract)
Memorandum
This resolution seeks Council approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with Washtenaw County Community Mental Health to provide Mental Health Treatment Services to Mental Health Court Defendants who are participants in the Court’s Mental Health Court program.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: These services are funded by the Michigan Supreme Court State Court Administrative Office for Grant Fiscal Year 2018, and without regard to City Fiscal Year. A State Court Administrative Office approved grant budget adjustment of $19,150.00 within the total Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program (SCAO-MMHCGP) award will fund the additional services. Grant award acceptance was approved by City Council on 10/16/2017 (R-17-382).
Council Resolution R-18-053 approved an Agreement with Washtenaw County Community Mental Health for $66,203.00. This amendment for $19,150.00 will bring the total amount of the contract with Washtenaw County to $85,353.00. The increase exceeds the 10% contract contingency approved within R-18-053.
Additional funding for the Amendment became available when Home of New Vision notified the City that it would not be entering the contract with the City (approved on March 5, 2018, R-18-084) to provide mental health and substance abuse treatment services to mental health court defendants.
