D. Ratification of Memorandum of Understanding with Core Correctional Solutions and Probation
Fund Name: JAGB (and others) Fund Number: 8110-002 (and others) Amount: Varies
Executive Summary: The Monroe Circuit Court Probation Department
received grant funding to support our probation staff in making changes from
the way our case management system is utilized for case planning to more formally structured client interactions. Staff will be trained by Core Correctional Solutions (CCS) and then given the support necessary to develop, practice, and model specific skills with clients through the implementation of Effective Practices in Correctional Settings II (EPICS II). EPICS II is a targeted interaction
with clients to specifically address risk factors associated with re-offending. Proper and appropriate use of these skills provide probation officers the opportunity to support clients in making behavioral changes. Grant funds will also be utilized for on- going quality assurance and training to support long-term sustainability in using these skills. In all, CCS will be on-site providing 24 days of training and instruction along with on-going quality assurance through video reviews of skills. The maximum amount of expenses associated with this MOU is $115,990.00 which 90% of the cost will be paid through the JABG grant (which was previously approved by the Commissioners) and 10% match will be paid from existing appropriations in probation funds.

F. Ratification and Signature of Two Contracts with Terry’s Remodeling and Custom Built Homes Providing for the Repair of the Exterior Courthouse Steps. Fund Name: Cumulative Capital Development Fund Number: 1138 Amount: Ratification: $7,850.00 New Contract: $13,028.00
Executive Summary: A previously-signed contract with Terry’s Remodeling for a total of $46,700 to repair the steps was not based upon the lack of a foundation that was found when they got into the repair work. During the October 20, 2015 Commissioner staff time an increased amount of $7,850 was approved to repair the steps in the original agreement. Today, we have a third contract for signature that will repair all but the south middle steps as they are not in need of repair. Angie Purdie, Commissioners’ Administrator
