Recommendation and Review
As fiscal agent for the Rockingham-Harrisonburg Jail, the County received a proposal from Gemeinschaft to provide services for a Day Reporting Center for adult offenders in the City and County. The program is intended to serve individuals convicted of, on probation for, or awaiting trial for nonviolent misdemeanors, nonviolent felonies and certain drug offenses.
The proposal calls for an effective date of 12:00 a.m., January 1, 2016, for an initial term ending June 30, 2017. Unless either party delivers written notice of renewal to the other party at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-existing term, this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the then-existing term. By agreement of both parties, the contract may be renewable as mutually negotiated for two two-year periods, beginning on July 1st of each year.
The City and County each included $255,000 to fund the 6-month pilot project. The actual program participation will be a decision of the courts. More details on the program, including the program fee structure (page 22) are included in Gemeinschaft’s attached submittal.
