Background
This ordinance authorizes a contract modification with Alvis, Inc. for the provision of Work Release Program services to the Franklin County Municipal Court.
The Court’s Work Release Program provides an alternative response to mandatory jail sentences and it has been an invaluable sentencing option. The program allows judges to consider this residential, community resource as a response to probation violations, while allowing the individual to maintain his/her employment by paying toward their court-ordered restitution, fines, costs and child support.
This ordinance modifies the contract associated with PO108350 to pay outstanding invoices and to extend the term of the contract through June 30, 2019.
Fiscal Impact: Funding is available within the Public Safety Initiatives subfund.
Emergency action is requested in order to immediately provide the Franklin County Municipal Court with resources in support of the Work Release Program to avoid any disruption in service provision.
