County staff brief commissioners on MT4 grant funding for violence‑against‑women advocate position
Summary
Staff told commissioners the NBCC-funded MT4 grant will cover roughly 75% of the advocate position budget and the county provides the remaining 25% largely through in-kind match and $17,000 for health insurance; staff said the county received full funding this year.
County staff briefed commissioners on the county’s annual MT4 crime-control grant request that supports the violence‑against‑women advocate position held by Caitlin Lavender.
Staff said the National Board for Crime Control (NBCC) typically provides about 75% of the position budget while the county provides the remaining 25%. The county’s share includes approximately $17,000 in health‑insurance costs for the position and in‑kind contributions (office space, communications and utilities) that the county values as match. Staff said fewer awards were made statewide this year but that Park County received full funding for its request.
No roll-call vote is recorded in the transcript for this agenda item; the matter was presented and discussed during the action-item portion of the meeting.
