CJCC approves opioid-response positions; Mary Rideout to serve as grant writer
Summary
The Oneida County CJCC on Feb. 12 recorded approval of two opioid-response positions — a grant writer and a behavioral health therapist — and noted that Ms. Mary Rideout has agreed to serve as the grant writer; formal county approvals remain pending.
The Oneida County Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee (CJCC) recorded on Feb. 12 that two opioid-response positions — a grant writer and a behavioral health therapist — have been approved through resolution and that Ms. Mary Rideout has agreed to serve as the grant writer.
Committee minutes say an office and computer have been allocated for the grant-writer role. The Health and Safety Committee (HSC) and Forest were noted as supportive; the minutes state Vilas County’s approval is still pending. According to the minutes, once Vilas signs off the item will go to the Executive Committee and then to the County Board for further action.
The committee did not record a public debate or a roll-call vote tied to the resolution in the minutes excerpt; the entry describes the positions as “approved through resolution.” The grant funding for 2026 was also reported as awarded and is slated to be included in the grant package Ms. Rideout will prepare.
Next steps listed in the minutes include final partner approvals and the formal review process through the Executive Committee and County Board. The CJCC’s next meeting is scheduled for March 12, 2026.
