CONREP AGREEMENT
#24-368-7
Page 2
Because of unforseen delays in the contract process , the State
CONREP contract for FY 1988-89 has not yet been completed and
signed . In the meantime , however , a State Department of Mental
Health Letter of Intent dated July 21 , 1988 , to contract for the
current fiscal year has been received and provides the basis for
continued full operation of this program.
This program, known as the Conditional Release , or CONREP,
Program is totally State-funded and allows the County to use a
portion of these funds to pay the cost of specialized room,
board , care and supervision for certain program clients , who
might otherwise require some other form of public assistance.
We are requesting a freeze exception for this contract , since
the CONREP Program operates entirely on State funds (no County
funds are involved) and also because it operates in accordance
with Sections 1600-1610 of the Penal Code and State statutes
which mandate community supervision of judicially committed
patients as a means of protecting public safety .
This document is prepared in the standard format approved by
County Counsel ' s Office and has been executed by the Contractor .
