(JBI). BACKGROUND: A contract with Justice Benefits, Inc. will provide assistance to the County in securing appropriate Federal Financial Assistance in recovering additional federal dollars that are due to the County and identifying other revenue sources that could be captured or enhanced by the County. JBI will work with the County to create a baseline report that distinguishes Federal reimbursements that are currently being received by the County and define the new and/or enhanced opportunities for reimbursement. This arrangement has no up-front costs for the County, with the County only compensating JBI based on new revenues actually earned by the County. Any compensation to JBI would be at a rate of twenty-two percent (22%) as a direct result of the work JBI completes for the County. It should be noted that the Alamance County SherifF's Department is in the process of entering this same arrangement with JBI, and the Buncombe County Sherif~Ps Department is currently utilizing JBI's services. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact on the County other than compensating JBI at a rate of twenty-two percent (22%) for any new revenue recovered by the County. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Agreement with JBI, subject to final review by staff and the County Attorney, and authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement. .
