McHenry County says SAMHSA drug‑court grant reinstated; no continuing resolution needed
Summary
County officials said a federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that funds the 20th Judicial Circuit drug courts — initially reported as terminated — was officially reinstated, removing the need for a continuing resolution at next week's board meeting.
Chairman Bueller told the committee Jan. 15 he had received unofficial reports that the SAMHSA grant funding the 20th Judicial Circuit drug courts might be reinstated and that staff were preparing contingencies, including a possible continuing resolution to preserve funding if needed.
During an administrators' report later in the meeting, County Administrator Scott Hartman confirmed the grant had been officially reinstated. "While we were sitting here this morning we did receive official word that the... grant... has been reinstated," Hartman said, and added the previously discussed continuing resolution would not be necessary.
County officials said they would continue to monitor the grant status and work with the trial court administrator to determine any remaining impacts, but at present no emergency appropriation or stopgap measure is required.
