Warden Temas recommended the Board approve to enter into an agreement with
Progressive Medical Specialists, Houston, Pa., for the provision of providing narcotic addiction
treatment to pregnant opioid dependent inmates at the Washington County Correctional Facility.
The weekly fee for methadone treatment is $95.00 per week. This contract will be effective on the
date of approval of 2014 through December 31, 2014, with the option to renew on a yearly basis.
This agreement is contingent upon approval at the Board of Commissioners meeting to be held
January 23, 2014, Minute No. 963.
Warden Temas recommended the Board approve to enter into a renewal agreement with the
PA District Attorneys Institute (PDAI) for the maintenance and continuance of the PA Statewide
Automated Victim Information & Notification (SAVIN) program. The program was provided to the
correctional facility through PCCD (PA Commission on Crime & Delinquency) grant funds for the
purposes of victim notification. The SAVIN program automatically notifies a victim 24/7 of an
offender's escape, subsequent apprehension, date of release, etc. PCCD will pay 50% of the
maintenance and service fees for 2014. Washington County's share for 2014 is approximately
$4,286.55 (approximately $.06022548 x beds x 365 days x 50%). This agreement will be effective
January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, and it is anticipated that this contract will be renewed
for 2014 and subsequent years. A new renewal contract will be issued yearly with a change on the
maintenance fee page. This renewal agreement is contingent upon approval at the Board of
Commissioners meeting to be held January 23, 2014, Minute No. 963.
It was moved by Mrs. Vaughan and seconded by Mr. Namie to approve the Warden's Report.
The motion carried unanimously with the Board signifying their approval by stating "Aye".
