State’s attorney says county will cover $3,000 shortfall after victims‑assistance grant cut; administrative pay adjustment approved
Summary
The Justice Committee approved a Violent Crime Victims Assistance Program grant agreement (26‑1070) and an administrative salary adjustment in the state’s attorney’s office; the grant award dropped to about $52,000 and the office will cover a roughly $3,000 difference from county funds.
The McLean County Justice Committee approved a Violent Crime Victims Assistance Program grant agreement (grant 26‑1070) for the state’s attorney’s office and an administrative salary adjustment in that office.
Adam, the state’s attorney, told the committee the ongoing victims‑assistance grant amount decreased from about $55,000 to roughly $52,000 for the new award period. “We will have to come up with that money by ourselves,” Adam said when asked whether the office would need to replace the shortened amount; he clarified the county would be responsible for the difference.
The motions were approved by the committee (grant motion by Member Roseman; second by Member Hanson). The administrative salary adjustment in the state’s attorney’s office was later approved by motion (motion by Member Roseman; second by Member Hanson) after the committee confirmed no discussion required a closed session under the Open Meetings Act.
The transcript does not specify how the county will allocate the approximately $3,000 difference within its budget or whether other department budgets will be adjusted; Adam said the office could cover the shortfall. Committee members did not request additional study or refer the item for further review at the meeting.
