BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge to modify the contract with Richland County Community Alternative Center (RCCAC), a government agency, and authorizes an additional expenditure of up to $50,000 from the Municipal Court indigent driver alcohol treatment fund and probation user fees for in-patient chemical dependency treatment for indigent OVI and NON-OVI offenders.

This program can accommodate women probationers and they will transport all probationers to and from the program and the court.
The Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge respectfully asks for a waiver of the competitive bidding requirements of Section 329 because the Court has determined, for continuity of service that it is in its best interest to enter into contract with RCCAC for in-patient chemical dependency treatment.
