Probation department authorized to apply for $1,591.74 drug-screen grant
Summary
The commissioners granted permission for the probation department to apply for a $1,591.74 drug-coalition grant to buy instant drug screens for the department and occasional court use; the board approved the application request by motion.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners authorized the probation department May 19 to apply for a drug-coalition grant worth $1,591.74 to purchase instant drug screens.
A probation representative told the board the grant would buy one box of instant screens each month for a year—about what the department is using—and would allow the department to provide screenings at no cost in coordination with the prosecutor’s office. "The total amount is $1,591.74. That'll basically buy us 1 box of instant screens each month for a year," the representative said.
A commissioner moved to give the probation department permission to apply for the grant and the chair seconded the motion; the motion was carried. Commissioners noted the application deadline falls before the next scheduled meeting, which is why staff sought approval at this session.
The transcript does not include a roll-call vote or a recorded tally; minutes indicate the motion was made and approved.
