Commissioners approve JRAC funding for FY2026 from restricted opioid funds
Summary
Judge Silver and Anne Carruthers asked commissioners to approve FY2026 continued funding for the Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council’s system-of-care programming; commissioners approved the request with no recorded opposition.
Judge Silver, chair of the Floyd County Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council, requested approval from commissioners for continued funding of the council’s system-of-care programs for fiscal year 2026, explaining the funding would come from restricted opioid funds and supplement existing criminal-justice programming.
"This is funding, to clarify from the restricted opioid funds, and it is in supplement to the programming within the criminal justice system that we are currently already funding through the opioid restricted funds," Judge Silver said. Anne Carruthers, introduced as the system-of-care director, attended for questions.
A commissioner moved and a second was recorded; the board approved the requested expenditure by voice vote. The transcript records no further conditions or amendments; the item will proceed under the commissioners’ directive on restricted opioid funds.
