Commissioners accept $100,000 immigration law-enforcement grant for jail program
Summary
The court voted to accept a $100,000 grant related to Senate Bill 8 to fund an immigration program in the county jail; a sheriff's-office representative said there is no local match required and the motion carried by voice vote.
The Grayson County Commissioners Court voted to accept a $100,000 grant intended for an immigration law-enforcement program operating in the county jail.
A sheriff's-office representative told the court the award stems from a state funding opportunity tied to Senate Bill 8 and said "the grant ... is a $100,000 to go towards the immigration program in the jail" and that "there is no match required." The court then moved to accept the funds and the motion carried by voice vote.
The acceptance was introduced as agenda item 9.1. The transcript records a motion to accept the grant and a second; the court recorded the motion as carried without a roll-call tally. No conditions on expenditure or program details beyond the stated purpose were provided in the meeting record. The court did not record any formal debate or objections during the vote.
Record of mover and seconder: the transcript notes a motion by Commissioner Marsh (transcript spelling) and a second by Commissioner Wright; the transcript records the motion as carried by voice vote. The court did not specify a departmental spending plan for the funds during the meeting.
