ATTACHMENT A
EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENTS
This document is intended to provide basic guidelines to Human Service Organizations,
county travelers, and contractual parties who have reimbursable expenses associated with
Monroe County business. These guidelines, as they relate to travel, are from Florida Statute
112.061.
A cover letter summarizing the major line items on the reimbursable expense request needs
to also contain a notarized certified statement such as:
"I certify that the attached expenses are accurate and in agreement with the records
of this organization. Furthermore, these expenses are in compliance with this organization's
contract with the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners."
Invoices should be billed to the contracting agency. Third party payments will not be
considered for reimbursement. Remember, the expense should be paid prior to requesting a
reimbursement.
Only current charges will be considered, no previous balances.
Reimbursement requests will be monitored in accordance with the level of detail in the
contract. This document should not be considered all-inclusive. The Clerk's Finance
Department reserves the right to review reimbursement requests on an individual basis.
Any questions regarding these guidelines should be directed to 305-292-3534.
Data Processing, PC Time, etc.
The vendor invoice is required for reimbursement. Inter-company allocations are not
considered reimbursable expenditures unless appropriate payroll journals for the charging
department are attached and certified.
Payroll
A certified statement verifying the accuracy and authenticity of the payroll expense is
needed. If a Payroll Journal is provided, it should include: dates, employee name, salary or
hourly rate, total hours worked, withholding information and payroll taxes, check number

provided: check amount, check number, date, payee, support for applicable payroll taxes.

original passenger receipt portion of the airline ticket. A travel itinerary is appreciated to
facilitate the audit trail. Auto rental reimbursement requires the vendor invoice. Fuel
purchases should be documented with paid receipts. Taxis are not reimbursed if taken to
arrive at a departure point: for example, taking a taxi from one's residence to the airport for

Mileage reimbursement is calculated at .29 cents per mile for personal auto mileage while
on County business. An odometer reading must be included on the state travel voucher for
vicinity travel. Mileage is not allowed from a residence or office to a point of departure. For
example, driving form one's home to the airport for a business trip is not a reimbursable
expense.

General Project Information
Project Title: FAMILY TREATMENT DRUG COURT
Project Sequence No: 0
Subgrantee: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2005 End Date: 9/30/2006
Problem Identification
This program addresses the outpatient substance abuse treatment needs of domestic abuse
offenders.
The Florida Department of Children & Families (DC F) indicates that there are about 864 reports of
abuse and neglect per year in Monroe County. DCF estimates that 75% of the reports have
substance abuse involvement. Of the number of reports made, about 143 cases are filed in
Dependency Court each year. While the Dependency Law intent, noted in Florida Statute 39.001,
is to provide for the care, safety, and protection of children in an environment that fosters healthy
social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development, there is no coordinating program which
combines a Drug Court Model for the convicted substance abusers who also have dependency
court cases in the Middle and Upper Keys.
Problem Significance.
The problem of providing substance abuse treatment for parents who are also facing dependency
issues is significant because those issues affect the whole family physically, mentally, and
economically. The community is affected by crime that often accompanies substance abuse and
family problems, committed both by parents and children. When there are also issues of abuse
and/or children being removed from their home or their parents' custody all those effects are
compounded.
Needs Assessment.
The demand for outpatient substance abuse treatment in Monroe County far exceeds the
County's capacity. The Florida Department of Children & Families (DCF) indicates that there are
about 864 reports of abuse and neglect per year in Monroe County. DCF estimates that 75% of
the reports have substance abuse involvement. Of the number of reports made, about 143 cases
are filed in Dependency Court each year. An estimated 205 children in the state of Florida, die
each year as a result of child abuse.
Despite the Dependency Law Intent, noted in Florida Statute 39.001, to provide for the care,
safety, and protection of children in an environment that fosters healthy social, emotional,
intellectual, and physical development, there are no identified funding sources to support a Drug
Court Model for the Substance Abusing Dependency Court participants in the Middle and Upper
Keys.

Problem 'Identification (Continued)
Whether located in a small jurisdiction (population under 200,000) or a large metropolitan area
(population over 750,000), retention rates for drug courts remain high, from 65% to 85%. As of
June 2001, there were 2,100 drug-free babies born to drug court participants enroUed in drug
court programs. Approximately 230,000 individuals have entered treatment services through
adult drug court programs in the United States as of January 1, 2002. Sixty-one percent (61 %) of
drug court treatment providers report that the annual cost of treatment services per client ranges
between $900 and $3,500. Given this range, the average annual cost per defendant for treatment
services is far lower than the $20,000 average annual cost of incarceration.

Project Summary
The Care Center for Mental Health will provide a Drug Court model of substance abuse treatment
services for identified clients of the Department of Children and Families who are involved both
with dependency cases and the drug courts in the Middle and Upper Keys. The Family
Treatment Drug Court Program will supply a qualified therapist, headquartered and supervised at
the Care Center of the Upper Keys, to provide services from Big Pine Key to Key Largo.
Project Goals
The project would aim at providing services to approximately 20 participants and their families
each year.
The service provider agency is The Care Center for Mental Health/Upper Keys, at 92140
Overseas Highway, Suite 5, Tavernier, Florida 33070
The Care Center will have a contractual relationship with Monroe County.
The Care Center for Mental Health is licensed by the Department of Children and Families under
chapter 65D, FAC to provide substance abuse treatment and other services.
Neither substance abuse treatment nor working with families in crisis is new to the Care Center.
The Upper Keys center, under the name Guidance Clinic of the Upper Keys, has been providing
services in both arenas for over 30 years.
Cooperating and participating agencies include the criminal justice system and the Dept. of
Children and Familes.
Project Staff
Project staff will consist of one counselor who will work in cooperation with Wesley House Family
Services and Drug Court. She will meet with their case managers regularly and receive referrals
from them. She will provide the usual structured program designed by Drug Court for the
substance abuser as well as providing family therapy and individual therapy for the rest of the
family. These services will be provided as much as possible in people's homes to improve
compliance.
Initial training for this program has already been done by Drug Court and Care Center personnel.
Additional training will occur when the counselor is included in the regular required training of both
programs.
Drug Court Family Treatment Counselor: This person is responsible for receiving referrals,
assessing and providing counseling services to the target population of substance abusers, their
spouses/partners and their dependent children.
Site Director/Care Center for Mental Health/Upper Keys: This person is responsible for
supervising the direction and quality of services provided by the Drug Court Family Treatment
Counselor. She is a qualified professional and will sign off when necessary

Project Summary (Continued)
on reports and other documents.
One staff member will provide all activities.
The Drug Court Family Treatment Counselor and the Site Director are agency staff.
Only the Drug Court Family Treatment Counselor will be funded with project funds.
The Drug Court Family Treatment Counselor will be working under the Care Center's license.
There is no particular equipment required and what is will be provided by either the Care Center
or Drug Court.
Project Location.
The project is designed to serve families in the Middle and Upper Keys. The counselor will work
out of the Care Center Upper Keys office. Activities will take place at Care Center offices or
clients' residences.
The target area is from Big Pine Key north to Key Largo, within Monroe County, Florida.
Project Activities/Administration
Describe all activities to be provided.
1. Assessment of referred individual and other family members.
2. Individual counseling
3. Group Counseling for referred individual
4. Family Counseling
5. EducationalNocational Counseling
6. Case Management
Unit of Measurement will be one direct service hour.
Frequency of service will depend on both the phase of treatment and the individual needs of each
participant and their family. It can range from 2 individual sessions and one group for the
participant, plus additional family/individual sessions for the family to less frequent contacts as
treatment progresses.
The goal is to serve twenty families per year. The total number of participants will vary depending
on the size of their families, but will certainly equal no fewer than forty. All drug court participants
will participate in the required activities of their phase of treatment at a minimum plus whatever
family sessions are scheduled. Depending on the particular make-up of a family, different people
may participate in some activities but not others.
20 participants X 5 hours per week of treatment (individual, group & family) X 50

Project Summary (Continued)
weeks/year = 5000 estimated units NOTE: obviously one counselor cannot provide 100 hours
per week of service so this will be staggered depending on phase of treatment. Those nearing
the end of the process will be seen less frequently then those just beginning.
It is hoped that a majority of participants will stay with the program for the entire year as they do
with Drug Court.
Target Groups, Clients, and Participants.
Drug Court Family Treatment participants can range in age from 18 up, be either male or female
and have a case pending in dependency court.
Referrals to this program will be made by Drug Court counselors and/or Wesley House Family
Services case workers. - Eligibility will be determined by the Drug Court Family Treatment
counselor.
There are no additional criteria required for participation except having been sentenced to Drug
Court and having an open case in dependency court.
Participants in this project will have outstanding cases at both Drug Court and dependency court,
both of which will provide referrals.
Project Results
Successful completion will be staying clean and sober as well as making progress on the case
plan required for the dependency case to be closed. It will be measured by attendance at
individual, group and AA meetings, clean urine analysis, family stability, regular
employmenVschool attendance, economic responsibility and improved family relationships.
Consequences for not fulfilling a Drug Court requirement will be the same as they are for regular
Drug Court participants, i.e. legal sanctions and/or being dripped by the program. Consequences
for other breaches mayor may not be the same depending on the severity of the offense.
Incentives of being released from Drug Court and/or having one's case closed by Wesley House
and dismissed from court are built into this program.
