Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Adult Treatment Court (ATC) was implemented in 2000 to provide a regimented treatment

chemical dependencies, forego future criminal behavior and reestablish family relationships and support
groups to encourage ongoing sobriety; and
WHEREAS the ATC provides an alternative to traditional incarceration to reduce the inmate population at
the Oakland County Jail; and

court costs, and child support, if applicable; and
WHEREAS the estimated cost to operate the ATC in Fiscal Year 2011 is approximately $170,510; and
WHEREAS the State Court Administrative Office grant funding used to help fund the ATC has been
reduced each year for the past five years to an all time low of $10,000 for FY 2011; and
WHEREAS the Circuit Court continually seeks alternative sources of funding to help supplement and
offset this reduction in SCAO grant funding and ensure continuation of the ATC; and
WHEREAS the Restore Foundation was established in January of 2009 with its mission statement to:
"Restore hope and dignity by helping individuals overcome substance abuse to the benefit of themselves,
their families, and society by continuing the Oakland County Drug Courts.": and
WHEREAS the Restore Foundation is donating funds in the amount of $18,940 to help fund the
operations of the Adult Treatment Court for FY 2011; and
WHEREAS these funds will be received as donations and deposited into the Circuit Court donation
account (#10100-3010101-121200-650301).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
acceptance of this donation in the amount of $18,940 and its use from the Circuit Court's account
