This item will not result in the use of additional discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The program fee is $380, to be paid by each eligible participant. There may also be additional fees charged to the participant for additional services such as drug testing, alcohol monitoring, or supplemental classes. CorrectiveSolutions Holdings (CorrectiveSolutions) will receive $350 of the program fee, and the County will receive $30 as an administrative fee, of which $20 will be set aside by CorrectiveSolutions, on behalf of the County, in an Indigent Offender Fund (IOF).
