Title
Resolution to Approve a Contract with Washtenaw County Community Support & Treatment Services to Provide Mental Health Treatment Services to Sobriety Court Defendants ($45,271.00)
Memorandum
This resolution seeks Council approval for a service contract with Washtenaw County Community Support & Treatment Services for mental health treatment services to 15th Judicial District Court defendants who are participants in the Sobriety Court program. These services are funded by a grant from the Supreme Court of Michigan State Court Administrative Office Michigan Drug Court Grant Program (SCAO-MDCGP) for Grant Fiscal Year 2014, and without regard to City Fiscal Year.
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 awards.]
