Board authorizes Veterans Treatment Court grant contract, adds a second position
Loading...
Summary
The Moore County Board of Commissioners authorized execution of a Veterans Treatment Court contract with the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts and the District Attorney, approving a staffing addition to support court services. The county will pay costs up front and seek reimbursement under the grant.
The board authorized the county manager to execute a contract between Moore County, the District Attorney, and the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts to provide services under the Veterans Treatment Court grant and approved adding a second position. Presenters said the grant is structured as a reimbursement: the county covers costs initially and then requests reimbursement from the grant fund.
Kristen (Veterans Treatment Court coordinator) and Finance Director Caroline Seong answered board questions about funding and whether a federal government shutdown would threaten program funds; staff said the money for the county was already programmed and would not be immediately affected. The motion authorized the county manager to sign the contract upon approval by county legal counsel and finance.
Commissioners supported the contract and said they would have funded the position even without the grant, calling the program worthwhile for community rehabilitation and public-safety outcomes.
