Committee approves staffing pattern change for Alternative Sentencing after DCJS grant award
Summary
The committee was told Alternative Sentencing received a $148,965 DCJS CHANGE grant for July 2026'June 2027 to enhance domestic-violence case management, and it approved adding a part-time Alternative Sentencing Intern to the staffing pattern contingent on pre-trial funding.
Sue Mowrey, Director of Alternative Sentencing and the Youth Bureau, told the Public Safety Committee on March 31 that the office received a DCJS CHANGE grant award of $148,965 for the July 1, 2026'June 30, 2027 term to expand domestic-violence case management and support personnel costs.
Mowrey said about $17,000 of the grant may be used for program support while most funding will offset personnel costs; the finalized budget will return to committee for approval. She also requested a staffing-pattern amendment to add a part-time Alternative Sentencing Intern, contingent on receiving pre-trial funds in future budgets. The committee approved the amendment and forwarded it to the Personnel Committee (motion by Mr. Rozell; seconded by Messrs. Baker, Herrick and Hahn).
Mowrey described intern duties as transportation for high-risk people to court, drug testing, supervising community service, and other Alternative Sentencing tasks, and said the county will only hire the intern in years when pre-trial funding is available.
