PASS -AROUND TITLE: Memorandum of Understanding for Jail Based Behavioral Services Between Weld
County and North Range Behavioral Health
DEPARTMENT: Weld County Sheriff's Office DATE: June 1St, 2022
PERSON REQUESTING: Stephanie Dandurand, Director of Inmate Services, Weld County Sheriff's Office -
Detentions
Brief description of the problem/issue:
The memorandum of understanding referenced above between Weld County and North Range Behavioral
Health (NRBH) is a subcontract to honor the Intergovernmental Agreement for Jail Based Behavioral Services
between Weld County and the State of Colorado (23 IBEH 174482) for FY23 from July 1st, 2022 — June 3011',
2023. NRBH has been providing this service to Inmates while in custody and transitioning services to their
organization to continue treatment and services for substance use and mental health after the individual is
released into the community since the inception of this program with Weld County in 2011. Beginning July
2021, the State as part of the contract requests a written MOU with the subcontractor. NRBH works in
collaboration with the Weld County Sheriffs Office to ensure these services are being met in accordance with
the contract with the State of Colorado. Their services are imperative to the success of the program given their
ability to provide continuity of care seamlessly to individuals receiving these services. They provide this
service with reimbursement from the State of Colorado managed by the Weld County Sheriff's Office with no
cost to Weld County.
What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options):
The Board may approve or deny the memorandum of understanding. A denial of this request would place the
responsibilities of these services on the staff of Weld County Sheriffs Office, which would require additional
staff to be hired, and would require an agreement with NRBH for the transition of these individuals out the
community removing the seamless transition currently in place. This is a NO COST service the State of
Colorado has been providing to assess and treat individuals in the jail for substance use disorders along with
release planning to include continuing services and resources once released into the community. The program
provides resources and programming with the objective of establishing stability for individuals in the
community and focuses on reducing recidivism in the jail. For the period of July 2021 - April 2022, even with
pandemic challenges, the program had an average of 80% of individuals who were successfully transitioned to
the community measured at one (1) month from release from jail. This percentage remained consistent from the
year prior during the period of July 1st, 2020 to June 30', 2021, in which the program also had an average of
80% of individuals who were successfully transitioned to the community measured at one (1) month from
release from the jail. Weld County operates as a conduit for the reimbursement contracted services between the
provider who works in the jail to deliver direct services, and the State of Colorado, who funds the program, by
distributing the funds appropriately to the provider to offset the cost of services incurred each month.
An approval of this contract request would continue the services provided by NRBH at no cost to Weld County
and has been a proven asset to the Weld County Sheriffs Office and the citizens of Weld County.
**Please note this has been reviewed by Weld County Attorney office.
