Resolution to Approve an Agreement with Dawn, Inc., d/b/a Dawn Farm, to Provide Drug Abuse Counseling and Rehabilitative Services to Sobriety Court, Veterans Treatment Court, and Mental Health Treatment Court Participants ($118,890.00)

Memorandum

This resolution seeks Council approval for an Agreement 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 Treatment Court programs.  These services are funded by grants from the Michigan Supreme Court State Court Administrative Office for Grant Fiscal Year 2022, without regard to City Fiscal Year.

 

Budget/Fiscal Impact: Services provided under this Agreement will be funded through the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Drug Court Grant Program (SCAO-MDCGP) ($95,130.00), the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Veterans Treatment Court Grant Program (SCAO-MVTCGP) ($7,260.00), and the State Court Administrative Office Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program (SCAO-MMHCGP) ($16,500.00).  The grant awards were accepted, and contracts approved by City Council on November 1, 2021 (R-21-400, R-21-399, and R-21-401).

 

Approval of a ten percent (10%) contingency amount 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).
