County receives RSAT award to help fund a corrections clinician position
Summary
County staff announced receipt of an RSAT award that will partially fund a licensed corrections clinician; staff are reviewing reimbursement timing and match requirements across multiple fiscal pots.
County staff announced that Merrimack County has received an RSAT award and can begin spending the grant money to support corrections-clinical services.
The meeting record shows staff reporting the award amount as “one hundred and 45575 dollars” in the verbal exchange and later describing the grant as roughly $145,000 spread across fiscal years. Staff said the grant will cover a portion of one licensed corrections clinician and that the award appears structured across multiple fiscal-year pots. In prior RSAT awards staff said the program has used an 80/20 match; in this instance preliminary information suggests the award may cover about 25% of the clinician cost subject to the final reimbursement schedule.
Staff said the award was split across prior fiscal-year funding pots and that the county received funding for year 1 and year 2. Karen and staff will reconcile the reimbursement schedule before formal draw-downs begin. Commissioners acknowledged the award and thanked staff. No board amendment or vote beyond the informational acceptance was recorded in the meeting transcript.
Staff will return with a reconciliation of the award funding schedule and expected year-by-year draw amounts.
