Greene County authorizes president to sign pre-award and subgrant agreements for SCIP and violence-reduction grants
Summary
The board authorized the president to sign pre-award and subgrant award agreements for a SCIP grant (gun-violence reduction) and a separate violence-reduction grant aimed at reducing violent crime.
The Greene County Board of Commissioners authorized the board president May 29 to sign both a pre-award form and a subgrant award agreement for two grants: a SCIP grant intended to reduce gun violence and a separate violence-reduction grant targeting violent-crime reduction strategies.
County staff described the SCIP grant as focused on reducing gun violence and keeping firearms out of the hands of actors identified as a public-safety risk; the second grant supports broader violent-crime reduction strategies. Staff sought authorization for the president to sign both the pre-award form and the subgrant award agreement so the county could accept and administer the funds if the awards are approved.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the authorization on a roll-call vote. Staff will execute forms and proceed with required subgrant agreements if funding is awarded.
