Explanation
BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge to enter into contract with Richland County Community Alternative Center (RCCAC), a government agency, and authorizes the expenditure of up to $200,000 from the Municipal Court indigent driver alcohol treatment fund for in-patient chemical dependency treatment for indigent OVI and NON-OVI offenders.
RCCAC is a government program and is licensed by the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS), and possesses the necessary level of expertise to provide the treatment services and the Court has a need for an ODADAS certified treatment program. RCCAC has no post control felons at their location which increase the safety of the Municipal Court probationers. The facility is a renovated hospital and the sheriff’s office therefore providing better security. This program can accommodate women probationers and they will transport all probationers to and from the program and the court.
Richland County CAC contract compliance is 34-6002296
