Ross ri Saine 2023-2860 JS0008 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASS -AROUND REVIEW PASS -AROUND TITLE: Consider Updated MOU from the Ir Judicial District Courts Adult Treatment Court (ATC) Program DEPARTMENT: Justice Services DATE: 9/12/2023 PERSON REQUESTING: Doug Erlef9v Brief description of the problem/issue: Our department works closely with the 19th JD's Adult Treatment Court (ATC) program. They are wanting to a do a bit of housekeeping and include additional parties to the enclosed MOU, to also include our department now. ATC wrote this MOU many years ago. They indicate not changing any language, just new dates and adding participating entities. There are no financial aspects to this MOU, it appears more simply a "declaration" by agencies to continue to collaborate and support the work of the ATC. What options exist for the Board? Option 1. Support. Allow the Justice Services Department Head, and on the Board's behalf, to sign the updated MOU, with final copy retained and in following with CTB recordkeeping. Option 2. Support. Authorize the Chair to sign the updated MOU. Option 3. Work Session. Consequences: If not to support through signature, it would hurt the positive relationships gained over the years by Weld County with the ATC program and participating entities. Impacts: If approved for signature, it would continue to demonstrate Weld County's, and through our department's role, support of the work of the ATC program. Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years): None. Recommendation: OPTION 1. For ease of administration, allow me to sign this updated MOU so that Weld County, and in doing our part through its Justice Services Department, can continue to support the fine work of the ATC program, and other participating entities. ACA, Karin McDougal has reviewed and agrees with Option 1 recommendation. Thank you for your consideration. Su000rt Recommendation Schedule Place on BOCC Aoenda Work Session Other/Comments: Perry L.
