Juvenile Crime Prevention Council funding plan presented; discretionary funds redistributed
Summary
The county’s Juvenile Crime Prevention Council presented its 2025–26 funding plan and a $4,000 discretionary reallocation for one program; the board was asked to sign the plan document and no county match change was required.
The Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) submitted its 2025–26 funding plan to the commissioners and said the total grant funding available for the upcoming year is $141,850. The plan runs multiple local programs, including Children Matters, Vocational Jobs, Parenting Wisely, Teen Court and a new program called Opportunity Use Metro.
The county’s JCPC representative explained the state funding mechanism requires a 10% local match per program but said the current local county funding will not change. She noted a correction to the current-year (2024–25) funding plan: discretionary funds were reallocated so that Children Matters receives an additional $4,000 drawn from unused program balances at year-end. The board was told a signature on the plan will be required to accept the funding plan and the representative left materials with commissioners.
Ending: The board acknowledged receipt of the JCPC materials and was asked to provide a signature on the funding plan; no substantive debate occurred.
