The board unanimously approved a letter designating the district attorney as the authorized applicant for the Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Intervention (CAMI) grant application.
County counsel described the grant as an iteration of funding the county has used for medical-forensic examinations and assistance to potential child-victim witnesses. Staff provided a draft letter for signature and asked commissioners to authorize it so the district attorney’s office could proceed with the application. The chair called for a motion; commissioners voted in favor and staff directed the letter be signed outside the meeting so the application could be submitted by the Monday deadline.
No dollar amount for the current CAMI iteration was specified during the briefing; staff said past iterations had been close to or exceeded $100,000. County finance reviewed the draft and did not identify issues that would conflict with county finance policies, staff said.
