Re: Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program Award Notification
52-1 District Court — Adult Mental Health Court
SCAO UI: U20045
Dear Chief Judge Reedds:
I am pleased to inform you that your application for funding through the Michigan
Mental Health Court Grant Program (MMHCGP) has been approved. On behalf of the State
Court Administrative Office (SCAO), I am delighted to award your court a grant in the amount
of $123,640 to support your problem-solving court program. This award is for the grant period
October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, and is contingent upon SCAO being awarded and
receiving federal grant awards in the full amount requested.
Your court’s fiscal year 2025 contract will be e-mailed from DocuSign to your project
director, Alexandra Black. Please review the contract carefully and sign it by December 13,
2024. The budget, based on your court’s actual award, must be updated in WebGrants by
November 1, 2024. Instructions for revising your budget are attached to the message your
project director will receive from WebGrants.
Each year we receive grant requests that greatly exceed the total amount spent in the
preceding fiscal year and available funding for awards to courts. Your total grant award is based
on what we believe it will cost to operate your program as you did last year plus any planned
expansion, enhanced services, and/or cost increases.
Additionally, SCAO will continue considering requests for grant reallocations throughout
the fiscal year. A reallocation is a mid-year decrease or increase of your grant award. For
example, a program that needs additional grant funding may request a reallocation to increase the
September 16, 2024
Page Two
program’s grant award. On the other hand, a court may not spend their entire award, and funds
may be reallocated to courts needing additional funding. Reallocation requests are submitted in
WebGrants, and SCAO staff review and make reallocation determinations after second-quarter
claims are submitted and after third-quarter claims are submitted. A reallocation that decreases
or increases a program’s grant award is based on actual prior spending and projected spending
for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The Michigan Supreme Court and SCAO is confident that your project will have
significant impact, and we look forward to seeing continued positive outcomes. We commend
your dedication and commitment to these lifesaving programs and thank you for making a
positive difference in so many lives.
Should you have questions about the grant or need assistance regarding best practices,
please contact Andrew Smith at 517-373-0954 or at smitha@courts.mi.gov. For assistance in
publicizing the success of your court, please contact John Nevin at 517-373-0129 or

Thomas P. Boyd

District Court Clerk I / Data Entry: W e are requesting funds to allocate towards a part time position titled District Court Clerk, which would be
utilized to conduct data entry and act as support s taff for the four treatment court programs offered at 52-1 D istrict C ourt. T his position will be
part-time and at a not to exceed rate of $22 per hour. W hen factoring in full time employee performance of 2080 hours of work in a
calendar/fiscal year, this position would be capped at 1040 hours with hours distributed between the 52-1 D istrict C ourt D W I C ourt Program,
the 52-1 D istrict C ourt D rug C ourt P rogram, the 52-1 D istrict C ourt Veteran’s C ourt P rogram, and the 52nd D istrict C ourt Mental Health C ourt
Program. Due to the current number of participants in each program, the hours will be distributed in the following manner:
DW I Sobriety Court: 600 hours per fiscal year (600 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $13,200)
Drug Treatment Court: 200 hours per fiscal year (200 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $4,400)
Mental Health Court: 140 hours per fiscal year (140 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $3,080)
Veteran’s Treatment Court: 100 hours per fiscal year (100 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $2,200)
Total hours per fiscal year would be 1040 hours @ a not to exceed rate of $22/ hour.
Therefore, requested funding for this position would be $22,880 with $3,080 of this assigned to the Mental Health Treatment Court.
Calculation: 1040 hours x $22 per hour = $22,880.

Oakland Community He alth Ne twork (OCHN) Tre atme nt Liaison Office r: The OCHN Clinical Liaison is the program’s connection to
Community Mental Health and treatment. Our clinical liaison meets with participants as necessary during the program, coordinates between
their mental health treatment providers, connects participants to mental health treatment and ancillary services, and provides stabilization
resources related to basic needs. The clinical liaison is a critical part of the screening process for potential participants and completes an
ACCESS screening to connect them to services in addition to ensuring clinical eligibility and a preliminary diagnosis for the program. The
liaison completes evidence-based assessments during the program and screening. The liaison provides psychoeducation to team members
and participants during the program and ensures evidence-based treatment routes are being pursued by the team.
The clinical liaison will additionally develop and execute new Life S kills cours es under the re-structured program in F Y 2025, which provides
clinical and professional development to all participants.
The county is unable to fund the clinic al liaison, and grant funding solely funds this position. W ithout the grant funding for this position, the
program is unable to fund this position, which directly impacts our ability to maintain a program that complies with B est P ractic es and treatment
standards. W e are requesting grant funds to continue to fund this position.
Currently, the OCHN Liaison position is fully funded by the grant as a full-time employee with a projected FY 2025 costing balance of $81,108.41.
This costing includes both the salary ($61,609.12) and benefits ($19,499.29). These costing projections were provided by OCHN When tabulating
the total for both salary and benefits, the OCHN Liaison projects to $81,108.41 for full time employment (which is 2080 hours per fiscal year). This
figure comes to roughly $38.9943/ hour wages. As a result, when factoring in potential increases, we would project this position at a not to exceed
amount of $40 per hour.
Calculation: Per OCHN figures of Salary ($61,609.12) + Benefits ($19,499.29) = $81,108.41. This officer would be full time 40 hours per week,
2080 hours per year.
M onitoring/ GPS te the rs, Portable Alcohol M onitoring De v ice s, Inte rlock Units: W e are seeking grant funds for electronic monitoring.
This would include GPS tethers, Alcohol tethers, Portable Alcohol Monitoring Devices and Interlock units. W e have worked with our contracted
agencies to provide the best prices for participants, and we utilize the Michigan Fund for Indigent participants that are required to install and
maintain an interlock. However, these costs cannot be completely covered by these sources.
Electronic Monitoring is necessary for the success of our participants, as it assists in ensuring sobriety, allows for relapses to be more
immediately detected and addressed and assists in keeping the community safe by either preventing vehicle operation if the participant is
intoxicated or by more quickly addressing the use of substances. Furthermore, it allows a more accessible option for in home testing, should
the participant require monitoring, but have limited transportation to urine alcohol testing.

GPS tethers are also necessary to give the victim of the crime comfort and an additional form of monitoring for high-risk defendants. This is
also sometimes necessary for high risk defendants in order for the victim and Prosecutor to consider entry into Mental Health Court.
Funding these types of testing is reasonable, as many participants, especially in the first Stabilization Phase, struggle to maintain the cost of
testing, but also have a high risk of relapsing before their treatment begins.
During the period of stabilization, which is the first phase, many participants struggle to maintain the cost of testing, but also have a high risk of
relapsing before their treatment begins. The companies that we would use for these services are as follows: Electronic Monitoring Services House
Arrest Services, Home Confinement, Nationwide, Smart Start & Total Court Services. We have partnered with the previously mentioned companies
who have agreed that enrollment expenses for the various units will not exceed $75 and the per day cost of any unit will not exceed $10 per day.
As a result, 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 $10 per day cost over a standard 30-day time frame. Currently our program has 16 active
participants, roughly 50% of which have an Electronic Monitoring device of some type. Using that as our baseline, we project to have 18 new
participants admitted in FY 2025. This number is calculated based on the fact that we averaged 18 new participants during both FY 2022 & FY
2023 with 10 new participants through the first 6 months of FY 2024, which would project us to have 20 new participants for all of FY 2024.
Therefore, we would like the ability to fund the approximately 10 participants in FY 2025 that will require an Electronic Montioring device of some
sort. these projected 10 participants for 3 months of service. Therefore, we are requesting $9,750.
Calculation: Enrollment $75 + ((30 days funded at $10/ day) = $300 x 3 months of funding = $900)) = $975 per participant. Therefore $975
participant x 10 participants = $9,750.
CRNA: We are requesting funds to be able to gain training and certification for our backup Mental Health Court Officers through the LS-CMI
system. In FY 2024, our court as able to transition to an approved and acceptable criminogenic risk/needs assessment tool for our Treatment
Court population. Due to budget constraints, we only requested training for the primary treatment court officers, but feel that obtaining training for
the programs backups is also logical. Considering that our Mental Health Court encompasses all 4 divisions of the 52nd District Court, with 2
primary Mental Health Treatment Court Probation Officers, we are requesting funding to obtaining training for the 2 primary backup Mental Health
Court Probation Officers as well. When the primary Mental Health Court Offices are not available, our back up officers are able to handle most of
the other aspects of Mental Health Court, but unfortunately are not able to conduct the validated criminogenic risk/needs assessment due to the
training restrictions. Therefore, we believe it’s in the programs continued best interests to make sure that these backup officers are fully trained on
the program, including this assessment tool, to ensure that our program can continue with little to no issues in the event our primary Mental Health
Court Treatment Officers are not available.
Based on invoices from Multi Health Systems (MHS), which is the parent company that provides the LS-CMI, the cost to train and certify a user is
$779, which is broken down into the following ways. The cost of on demand training is $635 per user and the Training Kit and Manual is $144. The
total of the training for 1 new user is projected at $779, therefore, to obtain training for both backup Mental Health Treatment Court officers would
be $1558.00. Additionally, the cost to purchase actual “uses” which is how MHS classifies the number of participants that are screened via the LS-
CMI, are $12.75 per ‘uses’. We anticipate accepting 18 new participants into the Mental Health Treatment Court program during FY 2025 due to
the following factors. Through FY 2022 & FY 2023 we have averaged 18 new participants, and currently, through the first 6 months of FY 2024, we
have accepted 9 new participants. As a result, we project that maintaining 18 new admissions for FY 2025 is a realistic goal, especially with the
previously mentioned modifications to our program. As each of those 18 new participants will need to comply with screening through the LS-CMI,
we project that we will at would equate to $229.50. Therefore, we are requesting $1,787.50 to be able to fully train the backup Mental Health
Treatment Court Probation Officers as well as purchase 18 “uses” through the LS-CMI to be able to screen new participants as they enter the
program.
Calculation: $635 (On Demand Training) + $144 (Training Kit & Manual) = $779 x 2 = $1,558.
$12.75 (per use for LS-CMI) x 18 participants = $229.50.
$1,558 (Cost of training) + $229.50 (cost to purchase uses for the LS-CMI) = $1,787.50.
Alcohol/ Drug Te sting: During a portion of FY 2024 we were able to utilize some of our grant funds to assist participants in off-setting the cost of
alcohol and/or drug testing. Many participants were required to complete testing as a condition of the program to help monitor the participants
medications. The ability to offset the cost of testing for some was extremely helpful in cases where the participant was struggling financially. The
feedback we received from those participants was that by paying for some of their testing, they felt this supported them at a time when they had
only limited resources. Participation in this program is completely voluntary, which is typically an indication of their desire to obtain stability in their
lives. Many of our participants enter in the program with active addiction issues in addition to the primary mental health struggles. Funding this
testing as the participants try to balance this new system financially keeps the participants focused, without adding to the participants’ already high
levels of stress and financial concerns.
While in FY 2024, we were only able to assist a select few participants with their testing fees, for FY 2025, we are seeking funding to provide
assistance with drug and alcohol monitoring for each participant to offset the cost of their first 30 tests in the program. This will provide the
participant ample time to concentrate on stabilizing their medications instead of self-medicating with illegal or other controlled substances, find
employment and build their support system without the increased stress and financial burden of the cost of testing. The testing agencies that are
currently vendors with Oakland County for this service are Drop Zone, TAP (Class A Training) and Results. In the case of Drop Zone, which is
located in Wixom, they already offer testing at a discounted rate for our treatment court participants which is $10 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 -1 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. Testing charges at TA & Results are twice as much as Drop Zone, which is $20 per test however,
considering our program encompasses all 4 divisions of the 52nd District Courts, we needed to find a testing agency that was also central to those
other courts, which Results is able to do as they have offices in Pontiac in Troy. Therefore, all calculations are figured at the most expensive rate.
Our program’s maximum capacity is 26 participants, however, when reviewing the admissions numbers for the past FY 2022 & FY 2023, we have
3 of 6
averaged 18 new admissions and are currently on track for 18 new admissions in FY 2024. Based on this, we will project to have 18 new
admissions in FY 2025. As a result, we would like to fund the expected 18 participants that will enter during FY 2025 Figuring $20 per test x 30
tests = $600. Then factoring that cost over the estimated 18 participants that will enter during FY 2025 comes out to $10,800.
Calculation: (30 day x $20 per test) = $600 x 18 participants = $10,800.
Oakland County She riff De puty Ov e rtime / Home Visits: Home Visits are an essential element of the Mental Health Court procedures an are
critical to the participant’s and program’s success. Home Visits offer insight into the participant’s home environment to identify needs not previously
communicated or known to the team, and also allows the team another avenue to evaluate the participants potential for harm to themselves or the
community. For participants struggling to maintain their own basic needs, a view inside their home may be the first time the provider and team are
aware of the need for further treatment intervention. The 52nd District Court, encompasses over 30 jurisdictions within Oakland County. Some of
the agencies only have 2-3 police officers on the road at any given time. Requesting those agencies pull an officer of 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. While some
jurisdictions are covered by various cities and municipalities, all are within the scope of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. As a result, the
ability to utilize an Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputy has allowed us to traverse these multiple jurisdictions more efficiently and expeditiously.
Therefore, we are requesting approximately 8 hours of overtime eac h month for a D -II/ P atrol D eputy to conduct home visits on a monthly basis
for the entire 12 month period of F Y 2025. At the time this grant was submitted, the exact per overtime hour cost of a D -II/ Patrol D eputy was
unknown. Therefore, the cost was calculated at the known 2024 expense of $79.38 per hour x 5% increase whic h would equate to $83.35 per
hour. As a result, our figures are calculated at a not to exceed rate of $84 per hour.
Calculation: ($84 / hour x 8 hours per month) = $672 x 12 months = $8,064
Laboratory Drug Testing: An issue identified this year is the increased use in designer drugs such as K ratom and Fentanyl within the mental
health court population. Additionally, there have been occasions where participants have tested positive on their drug screen, for substances
they are not pres c ribed, but denied actual us e. As a result, the only way to c onfirm if a participant is com pliant with their medication regiment
and not self-medicating is by sending their s amples to a lab for confirmation. W hile mos t of these confirming tests will be the responsibility of
the participants, lab testing can be costly as confirmation costs can vary from $20 to $50. At times where participants are unable to afford these
confirmation tests, we would request funds to be able to confirm a participants compliance or non-com plianc e with their medications. B ased on
the laboratory costs through D rop Zone as well as through R es ults, we would submit at a not to exc eed amount of $50 per tes t. W hile there
have been approximately 25 individual events each month where participants are required to have their urine samples confirmed, there are
usually only two occasions on average per month, where finances are a factor. Therefore, we would calculate this as paying for 2 participants,
1 time per month (which is $50 per month) multiplied over 12 months would equal $1,200.
Calculation: ($50 per confirmation x 2 per month) = $100 x 12 month = $1,200.

Gift Cards / Incentives: Our program is requesting funds to purchase gift cards as an inc entive-based approach to encourage compliance.
P ositive reinforcement of a participant’s mental health has proven to be extremely useful in getting the participant to want to maintain their
treatment compliance and sobriety. In F Y 2024, our program created a new “coin” system , which allows the participants compliance to directly
correlate to the inc entives they rec eive and allows them to choose an incentive by exchanging their “coins” for the incentive that best supports
their interests and needs. Gift cards are always a favorite option among our participants and allow the incentives to be individualized. T herefore,
we would ask to be able to purc has e gift cards, at a not to exceed amount of $20 per card to help encourage sober behaviors . Estimating that
15 of the projected 18 participants will receive a gift c ard eac h month, at a cost of $20 per gift card, for a total of $300 per month. O ver a 12
month period the cost would be $3,600.
Calculations: ($20 gift cards x 15 participants per month) = $300 x 12 months = $3,600.

Supplies for Participants: W e are requesting funds to be able to provide participants upon entry into the program with a welcome packet
which contains a folder or binder, motivational notebook, calendar and writing utensil. W hen a participant enters the first phase of mental health
court, they increase the amount of appointments, court monitoring requirements and ancillary services they interact with in a given month. Many
participants do not have access to organizational tools, such as a planner, that allows them to take control of their responsibilities and to ensure
proper attendance with treatment and psychiatric c are. B y providing them with the ability to organize their court paperwork and appointments,
participants have a greater chance of success. W e have witnessed that those that do have these items and that utilized a folder and/or planner
were more consistent with court attendance, reliably brought proof of ancillary meetings and treatment documents to appointments and were
less likely to miss appointments with community mental health that are required to begin medication and treatment services, such as the
screening to complete the Individual P lan of S ervice. If the participant is dis organiz ed and mis s es these critical early appointments, it prolongs
their time in the program, discourages them from continuing and delays medication and treatment. B ased on past years admissions combined
with current fiscal year projec tions, we appear to average 18 new participants each fiscal year. T herefore, we project roughly 18 new
participants will enter the program in FY 2025.
B y searching the O ffice D epot, who has a vendor contract with O akland C ounty P urchasing, we found the following: A pack of 12 Three R ing
O ne inc h Binders would be approximately $25, so this cost would be roughly $2 per participant. A pack of 6 W irebound Notebooks, 3-Hole
P unched, 8" x 10 1/2", 1 Subject, C ollege R uled, 70 Sheets, As s orted C olors, is approximately $15 which would work out to roughly $2.50 per
participant. Further, obtaining a day P lanner (calendar) for each participant is estimated at $15.00 per calendar. T herefore, when factoring in the
above, we are as king for funds to purchase supplies at a not to exceed rate of $20 per partic ipant, which multiplying that by the estimated 18
participants entering the program in FY 2025, would work out to $360.
Calculation: 18 participants x $20/ participant in welcome supplies = $360
Graduation Gift: E ac h participant that successfully c ompletes the entire program will rec eive a graduation gift at their graduation ceremony,
which is a token of their commitment and reminder of their perseverance as they continue to reach new personal goals. W e currently have
16 active participants in our program, and project that 90% will successfully complete the program, so would estimate approximately 15
successful graduates in F Y 2025. Going on that assumption we would ask for the ability to purchase a gift not to exc eed $20 per participant x
15 would equal a total of $300.
Calculation: $20 per gift x 15 participants = $300.
Zoom License: We have found that having the ability to allow a participant to zoom in for a court hearing has been extremely beneficial
especially when the participant is in the later stages of the program and has earned this level of reward, or in those cases where the participant
lacks reliable transportation. We have utilized this ability for monitoring appointments as this is a type of reward that the participants can use
once they achieve enough c oins. However, there are times where the partic ipant is in crisis and having the ability to meet with them over zoom
has help keep their progress moving forward. D uring past fiscal years, ZO O M was also used to complete the first step of the screening
process, as candidates are often in transitional housing or do not have transportation to complete. This screening takes at least one hour, as
the officer has to gather the information for their file and go over the program, which is not accommodated by the free ZO O M subscription.
Additionally, participants are allowed to have their guardian present for screenings and appointments, and the free version of ZO O M restricts
the amount of individuals allowed in the ZOOM meeting. For some participants, 40 minutes is not enough as a result they are forced to end their
session with the probation officer or mental health liaison then log back in. W e have found this to be extremely disruptive and unproductive to
the participants success. To combat this, our Mental Health C ourt officer has purchased her own zoom license to fac ilitate these
accommodations, which we feel is an unjust expens e incurred. As a result, we are asking to be able to purchase a 12 month B usines s License
which is $199.90.
Calculation: 12 month Business Zoom License = $199.90.
ADD: The rape utic Supplie s- We would like to add a line ite m to purchase the rape utic supplie s for our OCHN Liaison Office r to assist
he r in case manage me nt with Tre atme nt Cour t Participants. Supplie s such as the rape utic workbooks to be use d with participants,

by law to conduct its business generally and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
13. INSURANCE
The Grantee must procure commercial liability insurance or ensure that an adequate amount of
money is set aside in its local budget to cover all reasonable claims related to the Grantee’s and
Grantee’s agents’ Services under this Agreement.
14. LIABILITY
14.01 The Grantee is responsible for Liabilities and Expenses that result from the Grantee’s
performance or nonperformance under this Agreement. This subsection does not waive
governmental immunity as provided by law.
14.02 The Grantee warrants that, before entering into this Agreement, it is not subject to any
liabilities or expenses that could interfere with Agreement performance.
14.03 The SCAO is not responsible for Liabilities and Expenses that result from the Grantee’s or
Grantees’ agents’ performance, nonperformance, or property.
14.04 If Grantee contracts with a private third party to carry out the Grantee’s responsibilities under
this Agreement, then in that contract Grantee will require the private third parties to indemnify
SCAO and the MSC, including their officers, and employees (the “SCAO, MSC and related
entities”) from any Liabilities that may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against the
SCAO, MSC and related entities arising from the acts or omissions of the private third party
under such contact. Any private third party who will not agree to such provisions may not be
utilized by Grantee to perform services under this Agreement. This subsection does not waive
governmental immunity as provided by law.
15. FINANCIAL RECORDS, RETENTION, AND INSPECTION
15.01 The Grantee agrees that all Expenses comply with the standard procedures of the Grantee’s
funding unit.
15.02 The Grantee agrees to maintain financial records that follow generally accepted accounting
principles.
15.03 The Grantee must maintain an accounting system with grant financial records that are kept
separately from the Grantee’s other financial records.
15.04 The Grantee must retain all financial records related to this Agreement for at least five years
after the SCAO’s final reimbursement to the Grantee. The Grantee is responsible for the costs
to retain these records.
15.05 If an audit begins before the five-year period expires, and it extends past that period, the
Grantee must retain all records until the audit is complete. Based on the audit, the SCAO
may adjust reimbursement payments. If the audit reveals that the SCAO overpaid the
Grantee, the Grantee must immediately refund those amounts to the SCAO.
15.06 The Grantee agrees that the MSC, the SCAO, the Michigan Department of Treasury, the State
Auditor General, and these parties’ authorized representatives may upon notification audit
and copy the Grantee’s grant financial records.
16. GRANT REPORTING
16.01 The Grantee agrees to timely provide all applicable performance measurement data,
including complete and accurate reports as identified in Attachment 1 related to this
Agreement so that the SCAO can meet its reporting requirements. Further, the Grantee
agrees to follow the grant reporting requirements in Attachment 1.
16.02 Further, for each participant who is screened for or accepted into the grant program, the
Grantee must timely enter data in compliance with the minimum standards established by
the SCAO into the Drug Court Case Management Information System.
16.03 When any required report is 30 calendar days past due, a delinquency notice will be sent
notifying the Grantee that it has 15 calendar days to comply with the reporting requirement.
When any required report is 45 calendar days past due, the Grantee’s funding award will be
rescinded and the SCAO will send a forfeiture notice to the Grantee. Notices will be sent as
provided in Section 27 of this Agreement.
17. INCREASES AND REDUCTIONS IN GRANT AMOUNT
17.01 When Grantee cannot spend some or all allocated grant funds, these funds should be
reallocated to other problem-solving courts who can spend them. This ensures that the
problem-solving courts can address as many of the communities’ needs as possible. The
Grantee acknowledges that its failure to spend, provide proof of expenditures, or request
reimbursement of Grant Award expenditures by the financial claims report due dates may
trigger the reallocation process outlined in Section 17.05. Therefore, the Grantee agrees to
provide all financial claims on the schedule outlined in Attachment 1. Failure of the Grantee
to submit all financial claims by their due dates will jeopardize Grantee’s grant funding and
subject the Grantee to the procedures set forth in Section 17.05 below.
17.02 Further, for each participant who is screened for or accepted into the grant program, the
Grantee must enter data in compliance with the minimum standards established by the
SCAO into the Drug Court Case Management Information System.
17.03 The SCAO will monitor Grantee’s progress and expenditure of its Grant Amount. Grantee
must use its best efforts to utilize the full amount of funds awarded.
17.04 If Grantee has made satisfactory progress towards utilization of its Grant Amount and SCAO
or Grantee determines at any time during the Agreement Period that Grantee could benefit
from additional grant funds such that its Grant Amount should be increased, Grantee must
submit a reallocation amendment request through WebGrants, stating the amount of
additional grant funds needed, explaining how the additional amount was determined, and
outlining the court’s plan to utilize the additional amount, if awarded.
17.05 If at any time during the Agreement PeriodGrantee fails to demonstrate satisfactory progress
towards utilization of its Grant Amount, as determined by SCAO in its sole discretion,
SCAO will implement the following Grant review process:
A. SCAO will notify Grantee that it appears that Grantee is not making satisfactory
progress toward spending its Grant Amount and will request an explanation from
Grantee as to its lack of progress.
B. Grantee must, within 10 business days from the date of the notice, provide an
explanation to SCAO for its lack of satisfactory progress and outline its plan for fully
spending the Grant Amount during the Agreement Period, or if Grantee cannot fully
spend the Grant Amount, Grantee must request a reduction in the Grant Amount
which aligns with its plan. This information must be submitted by emailing a letter
to Andrew Smith at smitha@courts.mi.gov. Failure to provide this information
within the time specified by SCAO will result in a reduction in the Grant Amount
based on the claims information already submitted by Grantee and using any other
criteria SCAO determines to be relevant.
C. SCAO will determine whether the Grant Amount should remain as initially awarded,
or be reduced and notify Grantee of the decision. SCAO has the sole authority to
reduce the Grant Amount, and the amount of the reduction could be more than the
Grantee’s requested reduction amount. If SCAO’s decision is to reduce the Grant
Amount, Grantee will submit a budget revision in WebGrants by the date specified
by SCAO showing how the reduced Grant Amount will be allocated for the
remaining Agreement Period. If Grantee does not submit this budget revision, SCAO
may reduce Grantee’s budget in WebGrants and allocate the new amount in its
discretion.
D. For communications other than those made through WebGrants and as mentioned in
Subsection 17.05(B), all notices will be sent as provided in Section 27 of this
Agreement.
17.06 If at any time during the Agreement Period Grantee determines on its own that it will not
fully spend the entire Grant Amount during the Agreement Period, the Grantee must submit
a reallocation request to SCAO in WebGrants identifying how much of the Grant Amount
the Grantee intends to spend during the Agreement Period, and how much the Grantee would
like to return to SCAO. Then, the procedures in Section 17.05(C) will be followed.
17.07 Whether or not SCAO changes the Grant Amount through reduction or increase, the Grantee
must fully comply with the reporting requirements found in Attachment 1, and the Grantee’s
obligations under the Agreement will remain in effect until Grantee fully complies.
17.08 Section 17 survives termination of this Agreement.
18. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
18.01 In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 17, the SCAO and/or the Grantee may
immediately reduce the project budget, or suspend or terminate this Agreement without
further liability or penalty to the SCAO under any of the following circumstances:
A. If any of the terms of this Agreement are not adhered to by the Grantee/subrecipients.
B. If the Grantee proposes or implements substantial changes to the Scope of
Services/Work such that, if originally submitted, the application would not have been
selected for funding.
C. If the Grantee is not certified or submits false certification or falsifies any other report
or document required hereunder. Grantees that are funded with Swift and Sure
Sanctions Probation Program funds are exempt from certification requirements in
Section 24.
D. If the Grantee is charged with or convicted of any criminal activity or offenses during
the term of this Agreement or any extension thereof.
E. If funding for this Agreement becomes unavailable to the SCAO due to appropriation
or budget shortfalls.
F. If the Grantee does not comply with an Agreement term, including the reporting
requirements, assurances, allowable/disallowable expense list, conditions on
expenses, and approved grant budget.
G. If any report from Section 16 is at least 45 days late.
18.02 Each Party has the right to terminate this Agreement without cause subject to the conditions
below. If the Grantee is the party attempting to terminate the Agreement, the Chief Judge of
the Grantee must notify the SCAO in writing of such termination. The Grantee’s obligations
under the Agreement cannot be terminated, however, until Grantee fulfills all the grant
reporting requirements under Attachment 1 as required by the terms of the grant and as
otherwise directed by the SCAO. Grantee’s obligations under this Agreement will not be
terminated until Grantee has met all grant reporting requirements as determined by the
SCAO.
18.03 If this Agreement is terminated, the SCAO will make payments to the Grantee for allowable
reimbursable expenses not covered by previous payments or other state or federal programs
if the costs are adequately documented and appropriately authorized. The Grantee shall
immediately refund to the SCAO any funds not authorized for use and any payments or funds
advanced to the Grantee in excess of allowable reimbursable expenditures.
18.04 If the SCAO terminates this Agreement under Section 18, with the exception of termination
stated in Section 18.01(E), the Grantee is not eligible for SCAO grant funding for two years.
After the two-year period, the Grantee must verify in writing with SCAO that the Grantee
has corrected the issues.
19. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
The Grantee must comply with all federal, state, and local laws and applicable ethics, rules, and
canons.
20. MICHIGAN LAW

of Michigan. Further, the parties agree to litigate any disputes arising directly or indirectly from the
Agreement in the Court of Claims in the state of Michigan or if the Court of Claims cannot take
jurisdiction over the dispute then by the Michigan circuit court determined appropriate by the SCAO.
21. CONFLICT OF INTEREST

SCAO and the Grantee are subject to the provisions of the federal Freedom of Information Act, found
in 5 U.S.C. 552 et. seq., the Contracts of Public Servants with Public Entities Act, found in MCL

interest, and shall not acquire any such interest, direct or indirect, that would conflict in any manner
or degree with the performance of this Agreement.
22. DEBT TO STATE OF MICHIGAN
The Grantee covenants that it is not, and will not become, in arrears to the state of Michigan or any
of its subdivisions upon contract, debt, or any other obligation to the state of Michigan or its
subdivisions, including real property, personal property, and income taxes.
23. AGREEMENT DISPUTE
The Grantee shall notify the SCAO in writing of the Grantee’s intent to pursue a claim against the
SCAO for breach of any term of this Agreement within 10 business days of discovery of the alleged
breach as provided in Section 27 of this Agreement.
24. PROGRAM CERTIFICATION
Under Michigan law, approval and certification by the SCAO is required to begin or to continue the
operation of a drug court, sobriety court, hybrid drug/DWI court, family treatment court, veteran’s
treatment court or mental health court. Any of these programs that are not certified by Grantee shall
not perform any of the functions of that program type, including, but not limited to, receiving grant
funding under the law and shall not be covered by this Agreement.
25. PROGRAM REVIEW OR CERTIFICATION SITE VISIT
The SCAO may review the Grantee onsite. As part of the review, the SCAO may interview the
program’s team members, observe staff meetings and status review hearings, review case files,
review data, and review financial records.

other party in WebGrants of any changes in project directors, program judges, agency
contacts, financial officers, or authorizing officials, including changes in names, mailing
addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers.
