Finding Alternatives for those individuals <br />with a Mental Health Illness that come into contact with the Criminal Justice System when <br />warranted will be the focus of the grant. Our county has a very short time to complete this <br />process and file our application as the closing date is December 12, 2006. Grants of up to <br />$250,000 are available and it is our intent to apply for the entire amount. There is a 20% <br />match of cash or in kind required which will be identified prior to any grant acceptance <br />request. We have identified sufficient in-kind match so no general funds would be required <br />but we do anticipate asking the commission for funds in 2008, <br /> <br />We completed a memorandum of understanding stating support for this process and project <br />during the last application process. We are currently reviewing and updating our application <br />to better address the various areas required to enhance our chances of being awarded a grant <br />under this program. <br /> <br />As other federal grants, this also requires that the conmlission approve an Authorized <br />Organization Representative (AOR) to act on your behalf in filing the application, completing <br />and submitting any necessary documents and request for funds including any electronic <br />filings which may be required during this grant period. <br /> <br />I would ask that this be placed on your consent agenda for December 4, 2006. <br /> <br />Sample Motion: <br /> <br />Move to authorize Glenn Ellingsberg. Sheriff's Office, to act as our Authorized <br />Organization Representative (A OR) and to prepare an application for the Justice <br />and Mental Health Collaborative Program on behalfof Cass County, To further <br />authorize him to complete and flle any necessmy documents or electronic <br />submissions which may be required during the grant period. <br /> <br />Res.p~ctful1Y s!k' ','".'.', <br />> .
