Court amends procurement policy to add subaward/subrecipient language required for OJJDP funding
Summary
Starr County amended its purchasing policies to incorporate subaward and subrecipient provisions required by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention as a condition of juvenile detention center funding.
Starr County Commissioners Court on July 14 approved an amendment to the county purchasing policies to add language about subawards and subrecipients required to maintain federal OJJDP funding for the juvenile detention center. A staff member told the court the change—highlighted in the submitted document—implements a federal guideline identified during a monitoring review and is necessary for the county to continue receiving the OJJDP grant. The staff member said the procurement policy was submitted to and approved by a named reviewer, Mr. Montalvo. The court voted by motion and voice vote to adopt the amended purchasing policies and procedures. The public record at the meeting did not include the full text of the amended clauses; the court noted the language appears on the second page of the submitted policy packet.
