<br /> 1 <br />Attachment A <br /> <br />ARTG Application & Scope of Work <br /> <br />PURPOSE <br />The purpose of this grant is to assist cities with the documented costs to create co -responder <br />programs within different alternative diversion models including law enforcement assisted <br />diversion programs, community assistance referral and education programs, and as part of <br />mobile crisis teams. <br />CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES <br />GRANTEE is required to implement the Alternative Response Team Grant (ARTG) Program as <br />described in their application for funding, with no unapproved substantive derivations. Requests <br />for changes to this scope of work, or services laid out in the applicant ’s application can be made <br />to Jacob Ewing, Special Projects Coordinator at jacobe@wacities.org. <br />This program shall include the following elements as central features of their program: <br />• Grant recipients must establish a co-responder team using an alternative diversion <br />model including law enforcement assisted diversion program, community assistance <br />referral and education program, or a mobile crisis team. <br />In the event that there is a change in the contract or program management staff paid for by this <br />grant, it is expected that GRANTEE will notify AWC of the change to include the name and <br />contact information for the new staff member. <br />If GRANTEE fails to perform to the standards set forth above, AWC remains able to remedy <br />noncompliance as outlined in the grant document, including provisions for suspension, <br />termination and/or recapture of funds already paid to the grantee. <br />SCOPE & GOALS OF ARTG PROGRAM <br />The City of Everett established a co-response team that provides services for the city’s fire <br />department and library department. The team is used to provide services to individuals who are <br />experiencing a mental health crisis that does not require a medical or law enforcement <br />response. <br />The goals of the program include: <br />• Provide a more immediate response to individuals experiencing a mental health <br />challenge. <br />• Reduce stress on current emergency response teams. <br />• Improve collaboration and coordination between city teams and partners to effectively <br />provide services to those in need.
