Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a contract between the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (“MNPD”) and the Mental Health Cooperative Clinical Personnel (“MHC”). The original contract, approved by Ordinance No. BL2022-1120, provided for the provision, integration, and implementation of mental health training for MNPD personnel by MHC personnel.
The Metropolitan Council previously allocated $350,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) funds through Resolution No. RS2022-1313 towards the implementation of this mental health training program. The funds were allocated through the end of Fiscal Year 2025.
The proposed amendment would extend the time in which the ARPA funds could be expended through Fiscal Year 2026 and Fiscal Year 2027.
