The process of filing for the SCAAP Program is complex and very time consuming. Out of <br />approximately 3,200 counties in the United States, only 550 file for this entitlement program. More <br />than 500 of these 550 counties utilize the services of Justice Benefits, Inc (JBI) to obtain these <br />funds. JBI does the research, inputs the data in the proper format and verifies all records to <br />maximize the return to Indian River County. JBI gets paid on a 22% contingency basis, so they only <br />get paid when Indian River County gets paid. There are no other charges or administrative costs <br />beyond the 22% contingency fee on the dollars they find for Indian River County. <br />The Sheriff seeks permission to enter into a contingency fee contract with JBI for the coordination <br />and application of SCAAP funds The attached grid shows monies generated from the program to <br />other southeastern counties. The duration of the agreement between JBI and the Indian River <br />County Sheriff would be four years however, the contract may be terminated annually by giving 30 - <br />days' written notice prior to the beginning of the County's fiscal year. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously granted <br />permission for the Sheriff to enter into a contingency fee <br />contract with JBI for the coordination and application of <br />SCAAP funds for a term of four years with a termination <br />clause, as requested the memorandum. <br />AGREEMENT WILL BE ON FILE <br />IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />WHEN EXECUTED AND RECEIVED <br />9.A.1.
