County seeks continuation of Juvenile Justice Council grant to fund coordinator and training
Summary
The committee approved continuation of a Department of Human Services grant totaling $128,229 to fund a juvenile justice coordinator position and required training for the Juvenile Justice Council.
County probation staff asked the committee to continue a Department of Human Services grant that funds the Juvenile Justice Council and covers the salary and fringes of a juvenile justice coordinator, a supervisor‑level probation position. "This juvenile justice council is statutorily recommended for a site of our size, a county of our size, and also required for those who have a redeploy site," the probation speaker said.
Why it matters: The grant supports a coordinator position tied to statutory recommendations and to the county's redeploy site obligations; it also covers required training expenses for the council.
Probation staff said the total grant amount is $128,229 and that funds will primarily cover the staff member's salary, fringes and training. The committee voted to continue the grant; no additional local match or appropriation was requested during the meeting.
