Wayne County's Committee on Public Safety, Judiciary and Homeland Security on Wednesday approved Amendment 1 to a three-year contract (with a two-year option to renew) with Lake Ridge Village to support vendor expenditures for a jail-based treatment readiness program for adult males in the county jail.

Lester Thomas, administrator for Adult Community Corrections, told the committee the amendment increases the contract by $60,000 to pay vendor invoices and maintain the jail-based program. Thomas said Lake Ridge Village has secured required workers'compensation insurance and provided that documentation to the county. He told commissioners the vendor had "approximately $40,000" in outstanding invoices that the amendment is intended to cover.

Commissioner Peterson Mayberry asked about the insurance and the invoice calculations; Thomas confirmed the insurance had been provided and said the outstanding invoice amount informed the $60,000 request. The committee made a motion by Commissioner Wilson, supported by Commissioner Peterson Mayberry, to approve the amendment. Chair Garza announced "Motion carried." The transcript does not record a roll-call vote tally.

The contract described to the committee is a three-year agreement with a two-year option to renew; the amendment specifically increases vendor payment authority by $60,000 to cover vendor expenditures and outstanding invoices. No further terms, original contract total, or new contract end dates were specified in the discussion.

The approval directs county administration to finalize the amendment and continue the program as described. The transcript contains no further instructions or conditions tied to implementation.
