Prosecutor seeks continued funding; commissioners approve stop-violence-against-women grant application
Summary
The county prosecutor asked the board to approve a continuing grant application addressing domestic violence; the board approved the application by voice vote.
The Morgan County prosecutor asked the Board of Commissioners on May 5 to approve a continuing grant application under the Stop Violence Against Women formula grant program. The board approved the application by voice vote.
The presenter described the grant as "our ongoing domestic violence grant" and said the funding supports training for police, victim education and community resource coordination. The prosecutor noted trends during the grant period: methamphetamine use and domestic violence incidents are increasing locally.
Why it matters: the grant supports law-enforcement training and victim services; continuing the award maintains existing programming, training and community resources.
Decision and next steps
Commissioner moved and seconded a motion to accept the application; the board voted "aye" and the application was approved. Staff will proceed with submission and administration in accordance with grant requirements.
