RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A JUVENILE JUSTICE
COMMUNITY AGENCY PROCESS
RESOLUTION #06-125
WHEREAS, a Juvenile Millage was approved by the voters of Ingham County in November of 2002, for the purpose of funding an increase to Ingham County=s capacity to detain and house juveniles who are delinquent or disturbed, and to operate new and existing programs for the treatment of such juveniles; and
WHEREAS, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners desire to establish a Juvenile Justice Community Agency Process, by reserving a pool of Juvenile Justice Millage funds, to seek and fund proposals from qualified vendors to increase the capacity of the county juvenile justice system for the treatment of delinquent and disturbed youth which the County believes to be consistent with the provisions of the millage proposal approved by the voters.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners hereby
establishes a Juvenile Justice Community Agency Process, reserving $50,000 of Juvenile Justice Millage funds, to contract with qualified vendors to increase the capacity of the county juvenile justice system for the treatment of delinquent and disturbed youth with the intent to reduce the involvement of youth in the formal adjudication process which the County believes to be consistent with the provisions of the millage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that priority consideration will be given to those proposals which most appropriately meet the adopted Ingham County Continuum of Care Model.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that priority consideration will be given to those proposals that leverage other sources of funds.
