Memorandum
This resolution seeks Council approval for a service contract with Dawn, Inc., d/b/a Dawn Farm, for drug abuse counseling and rehabilitation services to 15th Judicial District Court defendants who are participants in the Court’s Sobriety Court, Veterans Treatment Court and Mental Health Court programs. These services are funded by the Michigan Supreme Court State Court Administrative Office for Grant Fiscal Year 2017, 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 counseling and rehabilitation through an approved State Court Administrative Office grant program budget amendment [e.g., approved grant project line-item budget adjustments within the total program award].
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Services provided under this contract will be funded through the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Drug Court Grant Program (SCAO-MDCGP) ($114,735.00), the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Veterans Treatment Court Grant Program (SCAO-MVTCGP) ($12,600.00), and the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program (SCAO-MMHCGP) ($14,400.00). Grant award acceptance was previously approved by City Council on November 10, 2016 (R-16-424, R-16-413, and R-16-412).
