Re: Letter of Agreement for the FY -15 Inmate Caseworker Position and Substance Abuse Technician (JAWS)
Dear Ms. Hall and Mr, Gingen:
This Letter of Agreement (LOA), which will be effective October 1, 2014, is entered into between Oakland County
Community Mental Health (OCCMTIA) and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office (County).
OCCMHA shall fund the County in an amount NOT TO EXCEED (NTE) of $64,470 for the cost of one (1) Inmate
Caseworker position (which does not includes fringe benefits) and one (1) part-time Inmate Substance Abuse
Technician ($20,800) assigned to the Jail Alliance With Support (JAWS) program. The NTE indicates the maximum
possible financial obligation of OCCMTIA regardless of Oakland County's total costs and expenditures under this
agreement,
The County will be compensated in the amount of $85,270 after October 1, 2014. To ensure timely payment, the
County shall invoice OCCMHA for the full amount and direct the invoice to the attention of Anya Eliassen, Chief
Financial Officer. Prior to the close of FY15, Oakland County will provide a cost settlement breakdown of the funding
to OCCMHA' s Chief Financial Officer, Anya Eliassen, A Financial Status Report on the total fiscal year expenses
must be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer of OCCMHA 20 days after the end of the fiscal year. Cost settlement
of this agreement will be based upon a comparison of the actual allowable expense for the Inmate Caseworker position
and the amount paid by OCCMTIA to the County. Any unspent funds will be returned by the County to OCCMHA
within 30 days of the final settlement letter, In addition, the County will collect JAWS program data including, but not
limited to: number of people screened for eligibility, number of people who participate in JAWS, successful or
unsuccessful completions, any aftercare data and County jail bed days saved, The County shall make this data available
to OCCMHA at the six (6) month and twelve (12) month point of this agreement.
I have enclosed two (2) signed originals and would appreciate it if you would return one (1) signed original to my
office, Please feel free to call me at 248-858-1221 if you have any questions.
