At its meeting on January 30, the CJPP Advisory <br />Board voted unanimously to recommend the continued use of CARE for FY 2004-05 and to <br />increase the hourly individual rate from $14.50 per hour to $20.00 per hour. This will be the first <br />rate increase since CARE began providing services in mid-2001 and is one of the lowest rates in <br />surrounding counties. (See attached information submitted by Ronda Powell.) In addition, <br />CARE has agreed to provide aftercare treatment to offenders who have participated in intensive <br />outpatient and regular outpatient treatment at no cost. <br /> <br />The CJPP Advisory Board requests your approval of the attached contract with CARE with the <br />increase in the hourly individual rate from $14.50 per hour to $20.00 per hour. Funds for this <br />program are provided entirely by the State. Also, the contract provides for the County to <br />terminate the agreement if the funds are not available. <br /> <br />If you have questions, please contact Ronda Powell at 704-782-0824. <br /> <br /> Board of County Commissioners <br />P.O.
