Michael Rourke and Irma Archbeck, representing the District Attorney’s Office, asked the board to authorize the chair to sign a Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant intended to fund victim-services units in the amount of $280,000. The board approved the request by voice vote after a motion by Commissioner Ross and second by Commissioner Maxey.
