FUNDING RECOMMENDATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Adult Treatment Court (ATC) was implemented in 2000 to provide a
regimented treatment and intensive judicial supervision approach to help criminal offenders
overcome their alcohol and 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
WHEREAS the ATC has been instrumental in providing offenders with an incentive to pay
restitution, court costs, and child support, if applicable; and
WHEREAS the impact of the ATC on the Jail inmate population, coupled with the
implementation of various other Jail population management initiatives, enabled Oakland
County to forego housing inmates in other county jails beginning in November 2005. thereby
saving the taxpayers of Oakland County approximately $1.7 million annually; and
WHEREAS the estimated cost to operate the ATC in FY 2008 is $140,000; and
WHEREAS the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) awarded a $95,000 grant for FY
2008 to cover the cost of one (I) special revenue full time eligible Community Service
Coordinator position (3010301-00837) and operating expenses for FY 2008; and
WHEREAS additional revenue in the amount of $45.000 must be approved to ensure
continuation of the ATC through FY 2008: and
WHEREAS the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, recognizing that the ATC reduces the
daily Jail count by 30-40 inmates per day, recommends that the Board considers a one-time
appropriation of $45,000 for operational expenses of the ATC.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approves the continuation of the Adult Treatment Court for the remainder of FY 2008.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
