Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on Funding Agreement to provide Recreational and Occupational Therapy for Family Recovery Court Participants.

The Williamson County Family Recovery Court has received grant funding to promote reunification and strengthening of families involved in the Child Welfare Court System.  One strategy that we believe will support this goal is increasing the availability of recreational and occupational therapy.  To that end, we have worked with Purchasing, Legal and the Auditor's Office to develop the attached Funding Agreement with Simple Sparrow Care Farm to provide those services to our participants.  

Simple Sparrow is a well regarded provider of therapeutic services, focused generally on modalities that include animal therapy to achieve positive outcomes for participants.  We are excited to partner with them in this effort.

The services are paid for by Office of Governor Grant Funding, and there is no General Fund budget impact for services rendered under this Funding Agreement.
