Re: Resolution Authorizing a Contract with Jackson County to Provide

Medical Direction to the Jackson County Health Department

Jackson County wishes to continue contracting with Livingston County to provide medical direction for the Jackson County Health Department. Jackson County currently has a contract with Livingston County; however the reimbursement language in the contract does not cover increases in salary and other costs associated with providing 8 hours of medical direction service requested.

Livingston County Medical Director, Dr. Donald Lawrenchuk has expressed an interest to continue with the current arrangement with Jackson County Health Department. The amended contract addresses employee cost increases; therefore I am recommending approval of the resolution.

If you have any additional questions or need further clarification do not hesitate to contact me.

Memorandum

To: Livingston County Board of Commissioners

From: John Evans, Circuit Court AdministratorDate: September 10, 2014Re: Amendment to the Multi-Systemic Treatment (MST) contract for Juvenile Court

Over the past two years, Highfields Inc. has provided outstanding MST services to the Juvenile Court and the children and families they have served. This service has been extremely effective in not only helping the youth and families but also in reducing the court’s utilization of costly residential services. With the reduction of the court’s reliance on out of home placement, an increase in the capacity for this alternative program is needed. The court now has a waiting list for this valuable service.

To accommodate this increased need and to maintain the reductions in the use of residential placement of youth, there is a need to add another caseworker to the contract. The additional cost in the contract will be $92,000 which is also 50% reimbursable through the State of Michigan Child Care Fund. The Juvenile Court will transfer this amount from the residential line of the Child Care Fund as a result of the reduced cost in this area. Therefore, no additional CCF funds will be requested in the FY15 budget for the CCF. We appreciate your support in this resolution. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free contact me at your earliest convenience.

From: John Evans

Date: 09/03/14

Re: Submission of the 2014/2015 Child Care Fund Budget

The attached resolution authorizes submission of the 2014/2015 Child Care Fund (CCF) Budget to the State of Michigan.

The proposed CCF budget requests a gross expenditure of $2,310,150.00, anticipated revenue of $110,000.00 with a net expenditure of $2,200,150.00. A few changes have been made to the Courts In-Home programs in an effort to reduce rising residential placement costs.

The Juvenile Court is staying at the same expenditure level as 2013/2014, $1,598,150.00, by shifting funds from Institutional Care to In-Home Care programs.

Additionally, the DHS sub-account reflects an increase of $155,000.00 for a new expenditure total of $712,000.00. The DHS has experienced an increase in the number of children being removed from their homes and placed in foster care and institutional care.

RE: Regional Establishing Agreement

Dear Ms. Peters,

This is to inform you that effective October 1, 2014, the Community Mental Health

Partnership (CMHPSM) will be statutorily responsible for the administration of the former

Substance Use Disorders (SUD) Coordinating Agency. Under Section 287 (5) of Public Act

500 of 2012, the CMHPSM has developed an “establishing agreement” that creates the

required Oversight Policy Board (OPB) in which members from each of the four counties in

the region will have representation.

This agreement requests that the County Board of Commissioners appoint two members to

the OPB. There will be two additional representatives identified by the Livingston County

CMH Board. These individuals will join representatives from Lenawee, Monroe and

Washtenaw Counties to form the OPB, which will be responsible for making

recommendations to CMHPSM Board on matters related to Substance Use Disorders,

treatment, prevention and recovery services. They will have the authority to direct the

expenditures of local funds, specifically, PA 2 liquor tax funds that are directed to the

region.

The CMHPSM has requested that at least one member of the OPB from each county

represent the recovery community, in particular, a person who is in recovery. Other

members of the OPB should be a representation of various community members, public

health, human service agencies, education, criminal justice, and county government or

commissioners. There will be an effort to coordinate membership across the region to meet

this requirement.

We look forward to meeting with you and the Livingston County Board of Commission to

continue the great relationship that we have enjoyed in prior years.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Marci Scalera, LMSW, ACSW

Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan

Minimal expense and we are asking for an overlap between the positions

o- YES o- NO

1. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THIS POSITION AND WHY YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN

EXCEPTION TO THE OVERALL LIVINGSTON COUNTY HIRING FREEZE. PROVIDE A COPY OF THE JOB

DESCRIPTION.

This position provides oversight for mandated functions authorized by state statue and County ordinance. Currently, other Michigan counties are experiencing difficulties filling their respective Animal Control Director position; therefore, this request is being made several months in advance, to insure a smooth transition. if an acceptable candidate is selected, for succession planning purposes, to avoid uncertainty among staff, and maintain organizational excellence, this appointment should be made in advance of the retirement date of the current Director

JANUARY 2010: JANUARY 2011: JANUARY 2012: JANUARY 2013: JANUARY 2014:

Full: 5 Part: 6 Total: 11





3. RECOGNIZING THAT ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS/DEPARTMENT HEADS ARE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE QUALITY

SUPERVISION AND BE CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVERS, HOW COULD THE DEPARTMENT REASSIGN WORK AND/OR

PERSONNEL TO GET ALL ESSENTIAL WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT DONE WITHOUT ADDITIONAL HIRING?

In other counties Animal enforcement is provided by the Sheriff’s Office. If animal enforcement was transferred to the Sheriff’s Office; then, this positions duties could be modified to provide leadership for the animal shelter. There are no positions in the County that can take on this full-time responsibility. This is a position that cannot remain vacant.

4. SPECIFICALLY LIST THREE REASONABLE OPTIONS OR DETRIMENTS TO THE DEPARTMENT IF YOUR REQUEST TO

REPLACE A POSITION IS DENIED.

· Board chamber will be filled with animal activists; they are a very passionate group against animal neglect/abuse.

· Disruption of services to the residents of the county, under the current director the quantity of work has increased substantially for both the shelter and animal complaints.

· The animal enforcement calls would fall to the Sheriff Deputies; or, Local Unit Police Departments.



5. WHAT BUDGET SAVING MEASURES HAS THIS DEPARTMENT IMPLEMENTED? HAVE ADDITIONAL MEASURES

BEEN IDENTIFIED? FOR EXAMPLE, USE OF TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES OR PART-TIME (LESS THAN 30 HOURS) EMPLOYEES PLEASE PROVIDE EXPLANATION(S).

Part-time positions and volunteers are utilized where practical. Two temp employees and three part-time employees are in use in kennel and office area. However daily decisions on liability exposure, human safety and criminal cases are still left to director to decide. With the creation of the “Friends of Livingston County Animal Shelter” a 501c-3, non-profit, they have picked up $4,000 in expenses relating to medical needs this year.

6. HAS CURRENT STAFF BEEN WORKING OVERTIME AND, IF SO, HOW MUCH IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED OR

HOW MUCH IS PLANNED TO BE WORKED PER WEEK (ON THE AVERAGE)?

Very little overtime is used. Part-time staff and temp are utilized so overtime is rarely needed except by two animal control officers that respond to 911 calls.

7. HAS CROSS-TRAINED STAFF BEEN FULLY UTILIZED TO MAXIMIZE THE OUTPUT OF EXISTING STAFF? PLEASE

PROVIDE EXPLANATION(S).

Yes, to the extent possible staff has been cross-trained in specific disciplines. The Animal Control Officers are quasi-Enforcement Officers, deputized by the Sherriff. They provide law enforcement and prosecution for the abuse/neglect of animals. This is a Director’s position necessary for oversight and leadership of the department. The duties and responsibilities are unique to the care of animals and prosecution for cruelty to animals. Cross-training with another Director position is not a practical option.

8. ARE YOUR ACTUAL REVENUES COMING IN AT YOUR PROJECTED BUDGETED REVENUE AMOUNTS?

Yes.

MEMORANDUM

TO: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE

FROM: BELINDA M. PETERS - COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR

RE: ANIMAL CONTROL DIRECTOR VACANCY AUTHORIZATION

DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

It is with regrets that I inform you effective March 31, 2015, Debbie Oberle will be retiring from

her position as Director of Livingston County Animal Control. Her intent is to relocate out of the state

of Michigan by the end of 2015. Until that time she is available to assist with the transition to the new

leadership for the Animal Control Department.

I thank Debbie for her nearly four years of dedicated/professional service to the residents of

Livingston County. Through her leadership she has implemented several positive procedural changes to

improve the atmosphere of the animal shelter and enforcement of the Livingston County Animal Control

Ordinance and State of Michigan Act #339 of the Public Acts of 1919, as amended. A few of her

successes include:

� Low cost spay/neuter clinic and Trap, Neuter & Release program for feral cats. These

two programs have greatly reduced the overcrowding of the animal shelter.

� Prompt response to animals-at-large and abuse/neglect of animals complaints.

� Built positive relationships with the animal rescue groups. To the extent that they created

the non-profit group “Friends of Livingston County Animal Shelter”.

In order to make a smooth transition, I am requesting the position be filled as soon as practicable

to provide overlap for training purposes, relationship building, and continuity of current

services/processes. Additionally, the Animal Control Ordinance is dated and our policies/procedures

require analysis and potential rewriting. Finally, a number of Michigan Counties are experiencing

difficulties filling their respective vacant Animal Control Director positions; this is a position that cannot

remain vacant.

Debbie and I will be present at the September 8th General Government and Health & Human

Services meeting to answer any questions you may have. Also, please feel free to contact me before the

meeting to discuss this request.

Memorandum


From: Laura Bismack, Court Programs Administrator

Date: 9/03/2014

Re: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE 44th CIRCUIT COURT TO FILL THE CASE MANAGER

POSITION FOR ADULT DRUG COURT, WHICH IS A 40 HOUR PER WEEK POSITION WITH

FULL-TIME BENEFITS AND FULLY FUNDED BY THE BJA/SAMHSA FEDERAL GRANT

Circuit Court/Finance Committee/Full Board

Livingston County Specialty Courts is requesting the Board of Commissioners’ approval to hire a Case Manager for Adult Drug Court. This position would be full time, 40 hours per week, with full-time benefits. This position is vital to the success of adult drug court participants and equally as important for the success of the program overall.

This position is fully funded by the BJA/SAMHSA federal grant and was budgeted for the entirety of the grant period, which is September 30, 2013 through September 29, 2016. The position was originally budgeted as a Contractual line item. Upon further consideration, it is more appropriate to directly hire this position through the courts to better ensure program compliance and a closer working relationship with probation. Due to unforeseen administrative delays, we are now requesting permission to fill this position as soon as possible.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

MEMORANDUM

DATE: 9-17-14

TO: Board of Commissioners

FROM: Lt. Eric J. Sanborn

RE: Amending the Sheriff FY 2014 Budget

In doing a budget analysis, it has come to our attention that the Sheriff Department 2014FY budget is in need of an amendment. The area of immediate concern centers on the out of County Bed Rental for the females. As you know, the female population has exploded and it has become necessary to house more females out of County. We now currently house females at both Montcalm and Clinton Counties. Also, during the approval of the US Marshal contract it was made known to the Board that this increase would be coming. The original budget was adopted with the understanding that it would need amending during the year. We are requesting an increase of $70,000 to the out of County bed rental (10135100 94100) in order to pay over $20,000 in outstanding bills and the projected costs for the remainder of this budget year. We are requesting $70,000 be transferred from contingency into the aforementioned line item in the Jail’s budget. If you have any further questions, feel free to document to contact me. Lt. Eric J. Sanborn, Road Patrol Lieutenant
