Program OperationsProgram Operations Is the program applying for planning or operational funds? *: Operational Application How many years has the program been operational? : 10 When does your program plan to begin accepting participants? : What is the program's capacity? :30 What is the current number of active participants? : 18 Does the program accept transfers? :Yes Provide a description of your program as it relates to project goals and funding needs: Our program’s goal is to reduce recidivism in the drug abusing population by providing them treatment and support to foster recovery from their addiction. Recovery for most drug addiction takes a minimum of 12 months of sobriety before the participant can physically start to undo the damage done to their bodies from their active drug addiction. Our program seeks to help provide support and resources in the early stages of recovery through intensive treatment, monitoring and testing. The early stages of recovery are generally very difficult for our participants as they try to change both physically and mentally. The stress from the requirements of the program are great, but necessary to foster long term recovery in our participants. The funding our program receives provides the funding for our Drug Court Treatment officer which is an extremely important component. The Drug Court officer provides not only the necessary resources to the participant, but also provides stability in what is usually a very chaotic life. We discovered in the early years of our program that switching probation officers every fiscal year was a disservice to the participants as it did not allow them to foster a nurturing and trusting relationship with the Drug Court officer. While the continuity of the Drug Court officer has been instrumental in the program’s success, it has also required an increase request for funding each year. Because of the increased cost in base salary as well as fringe benefits for the Drug Court Officer, we have had to remove or significantly reduce other line items for services directly designed to assist the participant during their path to recovery. For FY 2024, we are asking for enough funding to reinstate these line tems in order to offer additional emotional & financial support to our participants, which in turn leads to better program outcomes. Did your program receive SCAO- administered grant funds in the current fiscal year?: Yes Please select all of the grant programs which funded this program in the current fiscal year. : MDCGP 3 of 13 What was the total amount of SCAO- administered grant funds the program was awarded in the current fiscal year?: $101,000.00 Will the program likely expend all of its grant award during the current fiscal year? : Yes What are the reasons that the program will likely not spend the entire grant award during the current fiscal year? : Have any of the service(s) and/or good(s) rates increased from the current fiscal year? (e.g. coordinator pay increased from $23/hr to(e.g. coordinator pay increased from $23/hr to $24.50/hr, drug tests increased from $12 to $15)$24.50/hr, drug tests increased from $12 to $15) : Yes List the service(s) and/or good(s), the current fiscal year rate, and the new rate.: Although we had to remove the line item specifically for the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department overtime to assist us with home visits, the original grant request for FY 2023 did have this as a service. In FY 2023, the overtime expense for the Sheriff's deputy was $75.60 per overtime hour. At the time this application is being submitted exact costing information is not available due to cost of living increases, however, we expect the OT hour will not exceed $80.00 per hour as we calculated the FY 2023 rate of $75.60 and factored in a 5% cost of living increase. Also, the costing information for our Drug Court Officer will also increase. In FY 2023 the Salary expenses were budgeted at $67,000 while benefits were at $32,532. Based on current projections for FY 2024, the salary line item is expected to increase to $72,817.91 while the benefits will increase to $39,409.83. This costing information are approximations as cost of living increase has not been calculated or determined by Oakland County. Aside from increases covered above, are you requesting more grant funds in this application than the program was awarded during the current fiscal year?: Yes Please explain why more funds are being requested. (e.g. (e.g. program expansion, increase in services, orprogram expansion, increase in services, or operational adjustments)operational adjustments) : While our FY 2023 Grant award was enough to cover the salary and benefits of our Drug Court Officer, it required us to eliminate nearly ever other costing line item, including the ones that were specifically implemented for the purpose of offsetting costs incurred by our participants, such as the paying for drug testing for the first 60 days for program participants, purchasing drug testing cups to be used during home visits and office appointments, graduation gifts, gift cards/incentives and participant supplies. Additionally, with projected cost of living and merit increases the personnel expenses for our Drug Court Officer will also increase. For the upcoming/next fiscal year, will the program receive funding from another source (non-SCAO funding, such as local or federal funding), or has the program applied for funding from another source?*: No Please provide the following information Please provide the following information 4 of 13 1.)

Our Drug Court participants require very intense supervision and monitoring. In the initial phase of the program, participants will present for twice weekly appointments with their probation officer, twice monthly review hearings with the treatment team, which includes their sentencing judge, and monthly visits at the participants home during an unannounced search. Participants will gradually progress to weekly and eventually bi-weekly appointments with their probation officer and monthly review hearings with the treatment team toward the end of their program participation, which is a minimum of 18 months total in program duration. Caseloads for the drug court officer should not exceed 30 participants as the high risk & high needs of the participants require intensive supervision and availability. In order to provide direct and specialized service to individuals with a drug addiction, the full time Drug Court probation officer would continue to be solely responsible for the Drug Court clients. This officer is minimally required to complete the free online training through NDCI for Essentials of Drug Court and participate in other trainings pertinent to this program such as the yearly MATCP Conference. Further, due to the need for constant evaluation of this program, the Drug Court probation officer is ensuring adequate information is input into DCCMIS and will evaluate program progress and outcome on a routine basis. The Drug Court officer is also responsible for assisting with preperation and monitoring compliance with grants. Our program in past years was able to support a part time clerical position to assist with the data entry, however, all DCCMIS case management information will be entered and monitored by the Drug Court Officer. : Senior Probation Officer, FTE (40 hours per week), 40 hours per week will be spent working on the grant, this position is supported 100% by the grant funds, the average hourly rate is approximately $37.146 (this average includes estimated rate increases the employee may be eligible for during the grant year).

Alcohol/ Drug Te sting: In past grant years, we have been able to utilize grant funds to assist participants with the costs of their drug and alcohol testing. The transition from active addiction to a treatment court program is extremely difficult for new participants, as many of them are unemployed and lack a positive support system at home. Participation in this program is completely voluntary, which is typically an indication of their desire to obtain recovery. There are many factors that may deter individuals from entering or being successful in a treatment court program; however as indicated by past participant survey’s, the financial burden and stress are significant areas of concern. All new participants in the program are required to submit to daily drug and alcohol testing for at least the first 60 days, which often adds to their already high levels of stress and financial concerns. The daily testing during the initial phase of the program is based on feedback from participants that reported it keeps them ‘focused on not using’ and that every day they tested negative was a source of pride and measure of success. We are seeking funding to provide assistance with drug and alcohol monitoring during the first 60 days in the program through a contractor, Drop Zone. This will provide the participant ample time to concentrate on their sobriety, find employment and build their support system without the increased stress and financial burden of the cost of testing. Drop Zone currently provides us a discounted rate for our treatment court participants of $8 per test (drug and alcohol). Drop Zone utilizes a specialized pbt straw that has a built in screen designed to filter out airborne virus’s and partials, including the COVID -19 virus. This filter provides both the tester and participant a safer and healthier testing environment, which is especially beneficial considering the continued concerns regarding COVID-19 variants. For FY 2024 we estimate 15 new clients will enter the program, which is projected based on taking the average number of new participants each of the last 3 years and factoring in a small margin of error which would increase the possible admissions. We do believe that this is a conservative number of new admission with possible eligible participants increasing due to the legalization of marijuana as well as the ongoing mental health issues readily identified over the past several years. Our court is already seeing an increase in drug use/abuse by the general caseload population which we feel will present itself with additional participants during FY 2024. Therefore, we expect to see roughly 15 new participants into our program during FY 2024, all of which we would like to be able to fund for the first 60 days of their mandatory drug and alcohol testing. Drop Zone Testing: This agency will provide observed 12 panel urine drug screens and preliminary breath tests to participants during their initial 60 days of program participation. This agency will provide confirmation testing on disputed tests, but the participant would be responsible for those service/ confirmation fees. Estimating 15 participants x 60 days x $8 per test = $7,200. After the first 60 days of testing is completed, the participant will be responsible for the remainder of their testing in the treatment program. Oakland County She riff De puty Ov e rtime : The Drug Court Program is requesting funds to allocate and assist in the ability to conduct home visits on participants. Home Visits are an essential element of the Drug Court procedures and are critical to the participant and program’s success. The 52-1 District Court encompasses 6 separate police agencies and 3 substations for the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. Some of the agencies only have 2-3 police officers on the road at any given time. Requesting those agencies pull an officer off the road from patrol to assist with home visits creates not only a hardship within the department, but also the potential of reducing community safety during that time. Additionally, this partnership with the Oakland County Sheriff Office for home visits, has allowed us to accept participants who live on the edge of Service to beService to be ProvidedProvided Contractor(s)Contractor(s)ComputationComputation RequestRequest Other Grant orOther Grant or FundingFunding SourcesSources Local CashLocal Cash ContributionContribution Local In-KindLocal In-Kind ContributionContribution TotalTotalSubrecipient/ContractorSubrecipient/Contractor Alcohol & DrugAlcohol & Drug TestingTesting Drop ZoneDrop Zone 15 Participants x (60 days x $8 per test)15 Participants x (60 days x $8 per test)$7,200.00$7,200.00 $0.00$0.00 $0.00$0.00 $0.00$0.00$7,200.00$7,200.00ContractorContractor Home VisitsHome Visits Oakland CountyOakland County Sheriff'sSheriff's DepartmentDepartment ($80 per hour x 10 hours of home visits per($80 per hour x 10 hours of home visits per month) x 12 monthsmonth) x 12 months $9,600.00$9,600.00 $0.00$0.00 $0.00$0.00 $0.00$0.00$9,600.00$9,600.00 ElectronicElectronic Monitoring/Monitoring/ InterlocksInterlocks HomeHome Confinement &Confinement & NationwideNationwide 30 days of service x $8/day = $240 x 230 days of service x $8/day = $240 x 2 months = $480 + $75 enrollment = $555 xmonths = $480 + $75 enrollment = $555 x 15 Part. = $8,32515 Part. = $8,325 $8,325.00$8,325.00 $0.00$0.00 $0.00$0.00 $0.00$0.00$8,325.00$8,325.00 $25,125.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 10 of 13 our jurisdiction but still within Oakland County. This provides participants the abitlity to participate in our program, when they otherwise would be excluded. Utilizing an Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputy would allow us to accept these individuals into our program as we would be able to conduct home visits. This is especially helpful given the limited amount of drug court availability in County. Therefore, we are requesting approximately 10 hours of overtime for a D-II/ Patrol Deputy to conduct home visits on a monthly basis for the entire 12 month period of FY 2024. The actual per hour overtime cost for a D-II/ Patrol Deputy is unknown at this time, but is calculated at a will not exceed amount of $80.00 per hour. This figure is calculated taking the known FY 2023 amount of $75.60 per hour and factoring in a 5% cost of living increase to come up with a value of $79.38/ hour. DII/ Patrol Deputy: $80.00 hourly rate x approximately 10 hours of home visits per month x 12 months = $9,600. Ele ctronic M onitoring/ Inte rlocks: Portable Alcohol Monitoring is often a necessary component of any treatment court especially for the early stages of the program when transportation is most difficult for program participants. An Electronic Monitoring device is a great option to help participants stay compliant with their daily alcohol testing requirement without the added pressure of finding transportation to a testing agency. For those participants that are fortunate enough to have a valid drivers license, funding a month of their interlock expenses is not only a benefit to them financially, but also to the program to ensure the participant is complying with their daily testing requirement. Home Confinement and Nationwide are just two of the several companies that are listed vendors with our county for services such as Electronic Monitoring. We are asking for funds to cover enrollment expenses not to exceed $75 as well as the daily costs of the various Electronic Monitoring/Interlock devices at a not to exceed $8 per day cost over a standard 30 day time frame. Assuming we gain 15 new participants in FY 2024, we would like to be able to fund each of them for 60 days with either an Interlock or Portable Alcohol Monitoring Unit. Estimating 15 new participants to be funded at a rate not to exceed $75 for enrollment + $480 monthly expenses (60 days at a not to exceed $8 per day cost) = $555 x 15 participants = $8,325. . SuppliesSupplies SuppliesSupplies Describe the supply costs associated with the proposed project.Describe the supply costs associated with the proposed project. Te sting Supplie s: To assist participants with any potential inability to pay for testing after the first 60 days, random office drug tests, and home visit testing we are requesting funding for testing supplies. Due to the specialized type of drugs this population uses, we would like to purchase instant testing cups that not only test for the standard 10 panel type of drugs, but also specialized substances such as K2, Fentanyl, and Ethyl glucuronide (ETG). This type of testing cup will allow for quicker identification of a wide range of use, which in turn allows for a more immediate assessment for viable treatment options. We estimate testing 25 participants @ 1 test per month x 12 months = 300 tests for the grant period. Tests purchased through Abbott Laboratory’s (formerly Redwood Toxicology) cost $4.40 per iCup test x 300 tests = $1320.

Positive reinforcement of a participant’s sobriety has proven to be extremely useful in getting the participant to want to maintain sobriety. Especially during the early stages of recovery and treatment. Therefore, we would ask to be able to purchase gift cards, at a not to exceed value of $20 per card, to help encourage positive/ sober behaviors. Estimating that 10 gift cards would be utilized each month at a cost of $20 per gift card, for a total of $200 per month. Factor that over 12 months would then equal $2,400 in incentives. Additionally, each participant that successfully completes the entire program will receive a graduation gift at their graduation ceremony. Our program has averaged 6 graduates over the past 2 graduation ceremonies but are hopeful that number will increase to 8 for FY 2024. We would like to budget for 8 participants to graduate, with graduations being held twice per year for a total of 16 graduates in FY 2024. Estimating 16 graduates with an average gift of $20 per would equal a total of $320. Incentives/ Graduation Gifts: 10 gift cards per month @ $20 each per month = $200 x 12 months = $2400 for Incentives. Further, estimating 16 total graduates x $20 / graduate graduation gift = $320; $2,400 for monthly incentives + $320 for graduation gifts = $2,720. Participant Supplie s: Our program is asking for funds so we can provide participants, upon entry into the program, with a welcome packet which contains a folder, motivational notebook/ reflection journal, calendar and writing utensil. Due to the fact, participants are usually disorganized and overwhelmed with the requirements of the program, these materials afford the participant a way to begin to put structure into their lives. They also provide organization and accountability to an otherwise chaotic life. We would like to budget a not to exceed amount of $50 per participant for these supplies. Estimating 15 new participants for FY 2024 would then be $750. Graduation Re fre she me nts: The Drug Court traditionally holds two graduation ceremonies per year with refreshments (deserts/appetizers) provided to the participants, participants families and members from the community. To continue with social distancing requirements and other safety protocols, we are asking for $75 for each of the ceremonies to purchase prepackaged desserts, an assortment of snack food and individual bottle water. The not to exceed amount for these items would be $75 per graduation x 2 graduations for a total of $150.

Total Cost would be $340.00. Rate for lodging is calculated as follows: ($85.00/ night x 2 nights) = $170.00 x 2 attendees = $340.00 Further round trip costs for travel which are estimated to be approximately 60 miles one way from the 52-1 District Court to the Lansing Center in Lansing. For round trip, estimated mileage would be 120 miles per person x 2 attendees for 240 miles, reimbursed at the state rate of $0.585 per mile. Total cost would be approximately $140.40 Rate for mileage is calculated as follows: ( 120 miles x 0.585 per mile) = $70.20 x 2 attendees = $140.40. Finally, while most meals are covered through the conference, some are not. The agenda for the 2024 MATCP Conference is not available but taking the agenda from the 2023 MATCP and assuming the per diem will be the same, the Conference will cover breakfasts and 1 Lunch, which would mean reimbursements would be submitted for 1 lunch and 2 dinners based on the state rates of $10.25 per lunch and $24.25 per dinner. Total cost would be approximately $117.50. Rate for meal per diem is calculated as follows: ($10.25 per lunch x 1 lunch = $10.25) + ($24.25 per dinner x 2 dinners = $48.50) = $58.75 per person x 2 attendees = $117.50. Therefore, the estimated total cost for 2 to attend the 2024 MATCP conference is as follows: Registration ($710.00) + Lodgings ($340.00) + Mileage ($140.40) + Meal Per Diem ($117.50) which will equal $1,307.90.

Compensation for individual consultant services is to be responsible and consistent with that paid for similar services in the market place. SUBRECIPIENTS To determine whether a service agency or provider is a subrecipient or contractor, the below criteria is listed to aid in the decision. However, it is the substance of the relationship that is more important than the form of agreement. All criteria listed below may not be present in all cases, therefore, the program must use judgment in classifying each agreement as a subrecipient or contractor. Programs should document the process for determining each agency or provider as a subrecipient or contractor for audit purposes. Subrecipient contracts are required to be uploaded in the “Subrecipient Subcontract” link on the Grant Component page in WebGrants. Templates for contracts can be found in the same link as subrecipient subcontract. Subrecipient: • Definition o Is an agency/person who receives a subaward o Has their performance measured in relation to whether the grant objectives were met o Has responsibility for determining program operations o Adheres to grant requirements specified in contract o Uses funds to carry out program objectives for a public purpose as specified by statute, as opposed to providing goods and services • Requirements o Program enters into a contract with the subrecipient that includes at least all items included in the program’s SCAO contract for the grant funds, and upload a copy of the signed contract in WebGrants. o Ensure that subrecipients are adhering to the assurances o Submit agency payroll documents, general ledger, paycheck stubs, proof of payment, and timesheets (if time is split with another funding source) with claims o Agency has to submit a budget to the court that must be incorporated into the program’s budget to the SCAO. The budget must include:  Pay rates  Annual hours  Fringe  PTO information  Pay bonuses, longevity, etc.  Supplies  Travel Contractor: • Definition o Provides good and services within normal business operations Page 5 FY 2023 SCAO Grant Program Allowable Expenses o Provides similar goods and services to many different purchasers o Normally operates in a competitive environment o Is not subject to adhere to grant requirements, though similar requirements may apply for other reasons. TRAVEL EXPENSES Travel expenses may not exceed the state rate, or your program’s county rate, whichever is the lesser expense. The state mileage rate includes premium rate for roundtrip less than 100 miles and standard rate for roundtrip more than 100 miles. NONSUPPLANTING The SCAO requires that funds not be used to supplant state, local, or tribal funds. The grantee must assure that funds will not be used to replace or supplant state, local, or tribal funds, but will be used to increase the amount of such funds that would, in the absence of grant funds, be made available for criminal justice activities. This means that if your court plans to: • Hire new positions (including filling existing vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency’s budget), it must hire these additional positions on or after the official grant award start date, above its current budgeted (funded) level of positions. • Rehire personnel who have already been laid off (at time of the application) as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts, it must rehire the personnel on or after the official grant award start date and maintain documentation showing the dates(s) that the positions were laid off and rehired. • Maintain personnel who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts. It must continue to fund the personnel with its own funds from the grant award start date until the date of the scheduled layoff (e.g., if the layoff is scheduled for October 1, then funds may not be used to fund the personnel until October 1, the date of the scheduled layoff), and maintain documentation showing the date(s) and reason(s) for the layoff. Please note that as long as your agency can document the date that the layoff would occur if the grant funds were not available, it may transfer the personnel to the grant funding on or immediately after the date of the layoff without formally completing the administrative steps associated with a layoff for personnel. Documentation that may be used to prove that the scheduled layoffs are occurring for local economic reasons that are unrelated to the availability of grant funds may include (but are not limited to) council or departmental meetings, memoranda, notices, or orders discussing the layoff, notices provided to the individual personnel regarding the date(s) of the layoff, and/or budget documents ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction-wide budget cuts. These records must be maintained with your court’s grant in the event of an audit, monitoring, or other evaluation of your grant compliance.
