JAIL SERVICES MEMORANDM OF UNDERSTANDING/AGREEMENT Human Services Manager Katherin Johnson presented the Jail Services Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement. Ms. Johnson advised that this Agreement covers relationships and operational agreements for purposes of providing jail transition services to defendants with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders being released from the Kent Municipal Jail. It is a collaborative effort to assist eligible and appropriate offender-clients and defendants with mental illness who are transitioning from the Kent City Jail in applying for Department of Social and Health Services' (DSHS) entitlements and publicly funded benefits for the purposes of accessing mental health counseling, medications management, and case management services in the community. Specifically, dedicated office space for one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) DSHS financial application worker to be sited within the Kent City Hall building. In the past, the DSHS financial application worker has been housed at the King County Regional Justice Center, so Kent did not receive the allotted time necessary to assist the defendants in need who were being transitioned from the Kent City Jail. This effort is sponsored and supported by HB1290 Jail Services funds and is a $4,000 impact to the budget. King County will reimburse the City for office expenses incurred. Questions and concerns were raised by the Committee and addressed. Debbie Raplee moved to Move to recommend Council approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the Memorandum of Understanding between King County and the City of Kent for Jail Services. Deborah Ranniger seconded the motion, which passed 3-0. 3. 4T" QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Finance Director Robert Nachlinger presented the 4th Quarter 2006 Financial Summary Report for informational purposes only. e eting was adjourned at 4:27 p.m. Renee Cameron Operations Committee Secretary
