JRAC recommends county back Our Place prevention proposal, commissioners accept recommendation
Summary
Judge Carrie Stiller told commissioners the Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council recommended approving an Our Place prevention proposal to pursue a DMHA state matching grant; the board accepted the recommendation and received JRAC's annual report and spending update for restricted opioid funds.
Judge Carrie Stiller, who identified herself as judge of Floyd County Bureau Court No. 1 and chair of the Floyd County Community Corrections and Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council, presented two items: a JRAC motion recommending approval of an Our Place prevention proposal to pursue a DMHA state matching grant, and an annual JRAC report summarizing activities and restricted opioid fund spending.
Stiller described the recommendation as focusing on prevention, saying JRAC chose the 'prevention prong' and specifically 'tier 1 prevention' for the state matching funds. She said this approach aimed to use restricted opioid funds matched by the state to support prevention work distinct from the county's prior emphasis on treatment and criminal justice partnerships. Maribeth Anne Adams Wolf of Our Place was present to explain the proposal if commissioners had questions; none were raised.
The board moved, seconded and approved JRAC's recommendation. Stiller asked that the JRAC annual report and the restricted funds update be posted on the JRAC page of the county website for public transparency.
