Loading...
Summary
The Oneida County Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee recorded that grant-funded positions — a grant writer and a behavioral health therapist — were approved through resolution; Mary Rideout agreed to serve as the grant writer and will include the 2026 funding in a new grant application.
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee (CJCC) on Feb. 12 recorded that grant-funded positions to support opioid response work have been approved through resolution and that Mary Rideout has agreed to serve as the committee’s grant writer.
The minutes state the positions include a grant writer and a behavioral health therapist; an office and computer are available for the grant writer. According to the record, the Health and Safety Committee (HSC) passed the positions and Forest signaled its support; approval from Vilas remains pending. Once those local approvals are complete, the items will move to the Executive Committee and then to the Oneida County Board for final action, the minutes say.
The packet also notes the committee was awarded grant funding for 2026 and that Ms. Rideout will include that funding in the new grant application she is preparing for the county. The minutes do not specify a dollar amount for the 2026 award or the grant application’s total funding request.
No formal vote on the resolution is recorded in these minutes beyond noting that the positions “have been approved through resolution.” The record does not identify which body issued the approving resolution or provide the resolution number. The minutes also state that an office and computer have been secured for the grant writer.
