The Chart below includes ALL program costs and funding sources including Civil Commitments (ITA) and the Medication Assisted Treatment program (MAT) in the Jail.
Funding from Cascade Pacific Action Alliance for Medication Assisted Treatment was received in 2019. Additional funding through the BHO for prescriptions in the Jail was received for
2019. This added funding will not be received in 2020, a request from the Jail is attached requesting use of MH tax funds to cover the loss of these grant funds.
The ITA costs are included for years 2018, 2019 and 2020. The initial funding agreement of $750.00 per civil commitment case was authorized April 1, 2018. This reimbursement rate was
renegotiated by the Prosecutors Office earlier this year however, the increase in the per civil commitment case rate does not fully cover the cost of the ITA program. The 2020 Preliminary
budget has a shortfall in the ITA program of $176,016. Superior Court has requested additional funding for the cost of attorney fees.

The estimated ending fund balance for 2020 is $1.5 million, this estimate does not include the requested additional funding.
