NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual promises and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Care and Custody. County agrees to provide complete care and custody of up to 230 State Offenders daily, for the Term of this Agreement and in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, County specifically agrees that no State Offender labor shall benefit private persons or corporations. 2. Recording Offender Movement in SCRIBE. County agrees to record any and all movement of State Offenders transferred in and out of the County facility by entering the movement in Department’s SCRIBE system on the same day the movement occurs. Movements that are not entered in SCRIBE on the day the movement occurs will not show as an adjustment and result in an inaccurate daily count. County is solely responsible for implementing procedures to ensure that SCRIBE entries are made accurately and in a timely manner. County is responsible for verifying the State Offender count and all movements in and out of the County facility in SCRIBE on a daily basis to ensure that the count is accurate. County understands that the count reflected in SCRIBE is the official count for purposes of calculating payment under this Agreement. Late documentation, lack of documentation, or inaccurate documentation may result in delayed payment or non-payment under this Agreement. County agrees to grant Department access to County’s records, documentation procedure, and personnel for purposes of auditing SCRIBE entries and verifying State Offender count at any time upon Department’s 2 FY23_CountyCap request. 3. Notification of Medical Treatment.

The County further agrees that it will notify the Department within ten (10) business days if it, one of its employees, or any other law enforcement officer secures a criminal warrant for the arrest or otherwise pursues the prosecution of an offender being housed at the County CI for criminal conduct allegedly committed at the County CI. County agrees that it will not hire any employee terminated by Department for misconduct or who resigns from Department in connection with an allegation or investigation of misconduct. 5. Compensation. Department agrees to pay County the sum of Twenty-Two Dollars ($22.00) per State Offender per day for the duration of this Agreement.

It is the CACJ’s objective to encourage courts to be sustainable in the event state funds are reduced. The CACJ wants to invest in sustainable programs. How would your program maintain operations in the event state funds were lost and your state grant were reduced or eliminated? Current funding Sources for the Augusta Judicial Circuit Drug Court [AJCDC] program is provided by the following: •-Burke, Columbia, and Richmond County Drug Court program collects participant fees -Circuit provides 100% of Director's salary/benefits, court staff salaries, prosecutors' salaries, and Judges' salary -Circuit provides program supplies (printer ink, folders, binders, computers, etc.) -Richmond County provides all office space, utilities, and lab space Potential Funding Sources and Steps toward Securing Them: The AJCDC would apply for continuation funds from grant sources as available, to include federal funding. The AJCDC has discussed pursuing a 501(c)3 funding to establish itself as a non-profit to receive program donations. Furthermore, AJCDC would continue to pursue community contributions to support projects and strategies such as earned media, use of facilities, volunteers, etc. Treatment options are reviewed and considered to find ways to reduce costs to the court as well. How much local funding has your court requested? How much has been approved? $90,312 salary/benefits has been approved by the circuit for coordinator's salary. The Circuit defrays cost for court staff salary, prosecutors, Judges salary, program supplies, along with Richmond County providing office space, utilities, and lab space.

If you are applying for multiple courts, please list the courts. AJC Adult Felony Drug Court, Mental Health Court and Veterans Court How many participants do you anticipate will participate in your proposed transportation project (from July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023)? If you are applying for multiple courts, please list the court name then the number of participants. Approximately, 37% or 46 out of 123 participants requested public transportation as noted during intake/assessments. During COVID, bus passes were not utilized as public transportation was free. However, it is predicted, GA Public Health State of Emergency will expire April 6, 2021 and passes will be used at that time. Approximately, 65% or 28 out of 43 Mental Health participants requested public transportation as noted during intake/assessments. During COVID, bus passes were not utilized as public transportation was free. However, it is predicted, GA Public Health State of Emergency will expire April 6, 2021 and passes will be used at that time. Approximately 5% or 1 out of 17 Veterans participants requested public transportation as noted during intake/assessments. How many new participants will your court add if the proposed transportation project is funded? If you are applying for multiple courts, please list the court name and then the number of participants. Anticipated number of Drug Court participants which will be added if proposed transportation project is funded is 37 - total # will be 160 Anticipated number of Mental Health Court participants which will be added if proposed transportation project is funded is 17 - total # will be 60 Anticipated number of Veterans Court participants which will be added if proposed transportation project is funded is 13 - total # will be 30 Page - 11 - of 16 Criminal Justice Coordinating Council CACJ Please fully describe your proposed transportation project. Include why the project is needed and cannot be funded by other sources. Currently, we receive bus passes at a rate of $25 (monthly pass) for Richmond County's Transit System. In partnership with DCS, statewide transportation is provided for transportation to out of circuit residential treatment. In partnership with local sheriff departments, incarcerated drug court, mental health and veterans court participants are provided transportation throughout the county for medical appointments to assist with residential placement. If there are additional items regarding your transportation program, please include them in the space below. The proposed transportation is needed because many of our participants are destitute and do not have reliable transportation or employment, especially in the early stages of the program, usually due to incarceration, financial hardships, or continued struggles with addiction. The concept of providing transportation removes a major barrier to ensure 1) treatment attendance, 2) court sessions' attendance and 3) drug screening. Once participants are stable in treatment, other areas of case management can be addressed, to attain and maintain employment, budgeting and establishing a steady flow of income for other goals to be reached. If you are requesting ANY transportation funding, you are required to complete the Transportation Narrative. If you do not complete this information, your transportation request may not be considered.

Please describe in detail how state grant funds are budgeted and this funding source works together with the court's other funding sources to create a comprehensive program. The AJCDC serves 2 counties: Burke [pop. 22,271] & Richmond [pop.204,220]. FY '20-21, we maintained a successful pilot program of 15 post-adjudicated participants. While the needs of the circuit were greater, the current staffing could not support additional offenders. The allocation of this grant, in conjunction w/local funding will impact the courts ability to effectively meet circuit's needs.We are requesting funds of $426,992 with match of $47,444 to expand current model, by creating a hybrid model for an increase of post-adjudicated participants. Also requested a new position (Coordinator) for FY23. What resources does your court share with other accountability court programs or agencies within your circuit? When applicable, CACJ strongly encourages the sharing of resources between accountability court programs and/or other agencies. Drug Lab Drug Tests Surveillance Officer Time Treatment providers Office Space Case manager(s) Lab Technicians Transportation/Vehicles for Participants If you are not using a CSB, please explain why. The AJCDC does not use local CSBs for the following reasons: 1) The CSB does not want to participate in mandatory court staffing sessions (which we require) 2) The CSB does not offer evidence-based programming, specifically, MRT is not offered 3)The CSB does not offer substance abuse services that are suitable to our population's needs, specifically, collection of urine specimens are not directly observed or monitored by staff. Please explain your court's current drug testing methods and why your court chose those methods. Random Urinalysis Drug Testing is facilitated by a cloud based website (Paracelsus) which randomly selects all participants to provide a minimum of three (3) screens per week, up to seven (7) days a week (Sunday-Saturday). Adult Felony Drug Court participants are assigned a color on the first day of orientation. Participants must call in daily to hear if their color has been called which determines if they test for the day. If their color is called, participants submit to an observed chain of custody urinalysis test between the assigned testing hours and locations. The Treatment Court Drug Testing Laboratory utilizes one or more of the following - specific gravity, ph and creatinine values to check for adulterants. CACJ encourages well-written and reasonable applications for state funding. If your court is requesting an increase of 10% or more than the total amount of state funds awarded in the fiscal year 2022, please detail the need for additional funds. CACJ will prioritize requests based on an increase in participant census. The AJCDC is requesting an increase as a result of the newly elected District Attorney's mission of rehabilitation & restorative justice to the Circuit's criminal justice system. A comprehensive District Attorney's review is being Page - 13 - of 16 Criminal Justice Coordinating Council CACJ conducted to ensure Drug Court's legal eligibility criteria expands to include a target population of substance abusing offenders who require intense supervision in the community. Despite the negative impact of COVID nationwide, AJC's current participant count remains high at 118 . If additional funds are received the AJC will be able to custom tailor court supervision, add an aftercare component, an education/employment component, and data-driven evaluation component. If your court has de-obligated state funds within the past two fiscal years, please explain the circumstances and the plan to prevent a de-obligation from occurring in the future. The former Director unknowingly included the Director's salary and benefits in the FY21 grant application. When this error was caught through an internal system of checks and balances, there was an attempt to reallocate those funds toward treatment costs. That request was denied and left the program with a substantial shortfall. If your court received a note/comment from the CACJ Funding Committee on your fiscal year 2022 grant award, please describe how your court addressed the Committee’s note/comment. AJC Felony Drug Court is not aware of any notes or comments from the CACJ Funding Committee for FY22. Please provide any additional information below. We are requesting an additional position of Coordinator to expand services to include: tailored treatment, aftercare, a partnership with Augusta Tech College for career training, and evaluation of program and services. Initals TB Passcode 2044 How much did your court collect in participant fees in the previous fiscal year? If not applicable enter 0. 100000 Please explain why your court does or does not collect participant fees. Fees are collected to support the AJCircuit's day to day operations of Drug Court program. If participants fees are collected, how do those fees support the operations of the court? If it is not applicable, please enter NA.

Furthermore, AJCMHC would continue to pursue community contributions to support projects and strategies such as earned media, use of facilities, volunteers, etc. Treatment options are reviewed and considered to find ways to reduce costs to the court as well. How much local funding has your court requested? How much has been approved? 68,306 salary/benefits has bee approved by the circuit for Director's salary.

Instructions: If you are requesting funds to intra-circuit mileage or mileage for other training opportunities in the state, please use the grid below. Courts may request funds for in-state ONLY evidence-based training or other applicable accountability court training (virtual, in-person, or asynchronous opportunities). NOTE: Mileage costs will automatically calculate. Include the roundtrip mileage for a SINGLE trip and then the number of trips you intend to make.

Mental Health Court, Adult Felony Drug Court, and Veterans Treatment Court How many participants do you anticipate will participate in your proposed transportation project (from July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023)? If you are applying for multiple courts, please list the court name then the number of participants. AJC - Funds will serve all 100+ participants How many new participants will your court add if the proposed transportation project is funded? If you are applying for multiple courts, please list the court name and then the number of participants. We will maintain our current participants and add new participants as funding is provided. Please fully describe your proposed transportation project. Include why the project is needed and cannot be funded by other sources. Currently, we receive bus passes at a rate of $25 (monthly pass) for Richmond County's Transit System. In partnership with DCS, statewide transportation is provided for transportation to out of circuit residential treatment. In partnership with local sheriff departments, incarcerated drug court, mental health and veterans court participants are provided transportation throughout the county for medical appointments to assist with residential placement. If there are additional items regarding your transportation program, please include them in the space below. The proposed transportation is needed because many of our participants are destitute and do not have reliable transportation or employment, especially in the early stages of the program, usually due to incarceration, financial hardships, or continued struggles with addiction. The concept of providing transportation removes a major barrier to ensure 1) treatment attendance, 2) court sessions' attendance and 3) drug screening. Once participants are stable in treatment, other areas of case management can be addressed, to attain and maintain employment, budgeting and establishing a steady flow of income for other goals to be reached. If you are requesting ANY transportation funding, you are required to complete the Transportation Narrative. If you do not complete this information, your transportation request may not be considered.

The AJCMHC serves 3 counties: Burke [pop. 22,271] & Richmond [pop.204,220]. FY '20-21, the MHC program increased by 100%, from 21 to 43. It is evident with this significant increase, the needs of the circuit are greater. However, the current staffing pattern does not support the increasing number of entries. The allocation of grant, in conjunction w/local funding will positively impact the courts ability to effectively meet circuit's needs. We are requesting funds specifically to add a case manager, who will provide additional support by handling high risk/high needs offenders with mental illness. Funds will be budgeted as follows: PERSONNEL-1/2 of existing CM salary/benefits New Hire- Intensive CM salary/benefits- $26,823 (50% requested-remaining Veterans grant request), Cty Surveillance/benefits What resources does your court share with other accountability court programs or agencies within your circuit? When applicable, CACJ strongly encourages the sharing of resources between accountability court programs and/or other agencies. Drug Lab Drug Tests Surveillance Officer Time Treatment providers Office Space Program Coordinator(s) Case manager(s) Lab Technicians Transportation/Vehicles for Participants If you are not using a CSB, please explain why. The AJCMHC does not use local CSBs for the following reasons: 1) The CSB does not want to participate in mandatory court staffing sessions (which we require) 2) The CSB does not offer evidence-based programming, specifically, MRT is not offered 3)The CSB does not offer substance abuse services that are suitable to our population's needs, specifically, collection of urine specimens are not directly observed or monitored by staff. Page - 12 - of 15 Criminal Justice Coordinating Council CACJ Please explain your court's current drug testing methods and why your court chose those methods. Random Urinalysis Drug Testing is facilitated by a cloud based website (Paracelsus) which randomly selects all participants to provide a minimum of three (3) screens per week, up to seven (7) days a week (Sunday-Saturday). Mental Health Court participants are assigned a color on the first day of orientation. Participants must call in daily to hear if their color has been called which determines if they test for the day. If their color is called, participants submit to an observed chain of custody urinalysis test between the assigned testing hours and locations. The Treatment Court Drug Testing Laboratory utilizes one or more of the following - specific gravity, ph and creatinine values to check for adulterants. AJC uses mandatory periodic and random testing for the presence of controlled substance or alcohol in a participant ’s urine because of its scientific validity as widely acceptable and is the most suitable method of detecting recent drug use within a period of 72 hours. CACJ encourages well-written and reasonable applications for state funding. If your court is requesting an increase of 10% or more than the total amount of state funds awarded in the fiscal year 2022, please detail the need for additional funds. CACJ will prioritize requests based on an increase in participant census. The AJCMHC is requesting a increase as a result of the newly elected District Attorney's mission of rehabilitation & restorative justice to the Circuit's criminal justice system. A comprehensive District Attorney's review is being conducted to offer pre-adjudication to candidates eligible for Mental Health Court, thereby, creating a hybrid model. Despite the negative impact of COVID nationwide, AJCMHC has experienced an increase in participation. We also expect an influx of potential participants who will seek mental health services to assist with post-COVID dual diagnosis which may have led many to commit felonious crimes. If your court has de-obligated state funds within the past two fiscal years, please explain the circumstances and the plan to prevent a de-obligation from occurring in the future. In the FY21 CACJ application, the Director included her salary as a request for funding. This error was caught through a system of checks and balances. Subsequently, the AJC Accountability Courts requested a reallocation of those funds to treatment and surveillance officers. That request was denied. If your court received a note/comment from the CACJ Funding Committee on your fiscal year 2022 grant award, please describe how your court addressed the Committee’s note/comment.

It is the CACJ’s objective to encourage courts to be sustainable in the event state funds are reduced. The CACJ wants to invest in sustainable programs. How would your program maintain operations in the event state funds were lost and your state grant were reduced or eliminated? Current funding sources for the Augusta Judicial Circuit Veterans Court [AJCVC] program is provided by the following: Circuit provides 100% of Director salary/benefits, court staff salaries prosecutors' salaries, and judges' alary -Circuit provides program supplies (printer ink, folders, binders, computers, etc.) -Richmond County provides all office space, utilities, and lab space Potential Funding Sources and Steps toward Securing Them: The AJCVC would apply for continuation funds from grant sources as available, to include federal funding. The AJCVC has discussed pursuing a 501(c)3 funding to establish itself as a non-profit to receive program donations. Furthermore, AJCVC would continue to pursue community contributions to support projects and strategies such as earned media, use of facilities, volunteers, etc. Treatment options are reviewed and considered to find ways to reduce costs to the court as well. How much local funding has your court requested? How much has been approved? $90,309 salary/benefits has bee approved by the circuit for Director's salary. The Circuit defrays cost for court staff salary, prosecutors, Judges salary, program supplies, along with Richmond County providing office space, utilities, and lab space.

If you are applying for multiple courts, please list the court name and then the number of participants. N/A Please fully describe your proposed transportation project. Include why the project is needed and cannot be funded by other sources. Currently, we receive bus passes at a rate of $25 (monthly pass) for Richmond County's Transit System. In partnership with DCS, statewide transportation is provided for transportation to out of circuit residential treatment. In partnership with local sheriff departments, incarcerated drug court, mental health and veterans court participants are provided transportation throughout the county for medical appointments to assist with residential placement. If there are additional items regarding your transportation program, please include them in the space below. The proposed transportation is needed because many of our participants are destitute and do not have reliable transportation or employment, especially in the early stages of the program, usually due to incarceration, financial hardships, or continued struggles with addiction. The concept of providing transportation removes a major barrier to ensure 1) treatment attendance, 2) court sessions' attendance and 3) drug screening. Once participants are stable in treatment, other areas of case management can be addressed, to attain and maintain employment, budgeting and establishing a steady flow of income for other goals to be reached. If you are requesting ANY transportation funding, you are required to complete the Transportation Narrative.

The AJCVC serves 3 counties: Burke [pop. 22,271], Columbia [pop. 161,988], & Richmond [pop.204,220]. The election of a new DA has shifted the direction of Vet Court with recent decision to add pre-adjudication, thereby, creating a hybrid model. With an additional case manager, the ability to meet the needs of incoming participants will drastically meet the needs of the circuit. The allocation of grant, in conjunction w/local funding will impact the courts ability to effectively make positive change in Vet lives. We are requesting $26,086 in funds with match to expand current model, by creating a hybrid model for an anticipated increase of participants. What resources does your court share with other accountability court programs or agencies within your circuit? When applicable, CACJ strongly encourages the sharing of resources between accountability court programs and/or other agencies. Drug Lab Drug Tests Surveillance Officer Time Treatment providers Office Space Program Coordinator(s) Case manager(s) Lab Technicians Transportation/Vehicles for Participants If you are not using a CSB, please explain why. The AJCVC does not use local CSBs for the following reasons: 1) The CSB does not want to participate in mandatory court staffing sessions (which we require) 2) The CSB does not offer evidence-based programming, specifically, MRT is not offered 3)The CSB does not offer substance abuse services that are suitable to our population's needs, specifically, collection of urine specimens are not directly observed or monitored by staff. Please explain your court's current drug testing methods and why your court chose those methods. Random Urinalysis Drug Testing is facilitated by a cloud based website (Paracelsus) which randomly selects all participants to provide a minimum of three (3) screens per week, up to seven (7) days a week (Sunday-Saturday). Veterans Court participants are assigned a color on the first day of orientation. Participants must call in daily to hear if their color has been called which determines if they test for the day. If their color is called, participants submit to an observed chain of custody urinalysis test between the assigned testing hours and locations. The Page - 11 - of 14 Criminal Justice Coordinating Council CACJ Treatment Court Drug Testing Laboratory utilizes one or more of the following - specific gravity, ph and creatinine values to check for adulterants. AJC uses mandatory periodic and random testing for the presence of controlled substance or alcohol in a participant ’s urine because of its scientific validity as widely acceptable and is the most suitable method of detecting recent drug use within a period of 72 hours. CACJ encourages well-written and reasonable applications for state funding. If your court is requesting an increase of 10% or more than the total amount of state funds awarded in the fiscal year 2022, please detail the need for additional funds. CACJ will prioritize requests based on an increase in participant census. The AJCVC is requesting an increase as a result of the newly elected District Attorney's mission of rehabilitation & restorative justice to the Circuit's criminal justice system. A comprehensive District Attorney's review has been conducted and will now offer pre-adjudication to candidates eligible for Veterans Court, thereby, creating a hybrid model. Despite the negative impact of COVID nationwide, the need for additional resources and skilled staff to work with this population would greatly improve the efficiency of accountability and treatment, while addressing the needs of the circuit. If your court has de-obligated state funds within the past two fiscal years, please explain the circumstances and the plan to prevent a de-obligation from occurring in the future. In the CACJ FY21 application, the Director requested funds for her salary. This was caught in our system of checks and balances. The AJC requested reallocation of those funds to treatment and surveillance. That request was denied. If your court received a note/comment from the CACJ Funding Committee on your fiscal year 2022 grant award, please describe how your court addressed the Committee’s note/comment.
