BY: Public Services Committee, Jeff Potter, Chairperson
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICES/COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS -
ESTABLISHMENT OF A REINSTATEMENT FEE FOR THE WEEKEND, WEEKDAY
ALTERNATIVE FOR MISDEMEANANTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Weekend and Weekday Alternative for Misdemeanants (VWVAM)
program has been in operation since 1997; and
WHEREAS the program handles an average of 10,500 offenders each year with
approximately 875 terminations per year; and
WHEREAS these terminations are a result of the offender either not showing as
scheduled, acting inappropriately, or for testing positive for alcohol on a PBT among other
reasons; and
WHEREAS these terminations represent lost revenue as a terminated offender has taken
a space of a potential participant that may have shown and paid the fee; and
WHEREAS approximately 63% of these terminated offenders are re-referred back into
the program; and
WHEREAS reinstating an offender utilizes staff time and resources and some offenders
are reinstated 2, or more times; and
WHEREAS instituting a reinstatement fee may make offenders more responsible in
attending on their assigned day; and
WHEREAS the fee would not exceed the existing per diem rate of $15.00.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the VVVVAM program to institute a "reinstatement" fee of $15.00
beginning May 1, 2006 for any offender who is terminated due to being late, not showing as
scheduled, disciplinary problems, or for having a positive PBT reading for alcohol.
