Cabell County Commission approves $188,069 in public‑safety grants
Summary
The Cabell County Commission unanimously approved a $62,100 Justice Assistance Grant and a $125,969 Victims of Crime Act grant from the West Virginia Division of Justice & Community Services to support local law‑enforcement and victim‑services programs.
The Cabell County Commission on Oct. 26 unanimously approved two grant contracts totaling $188,069 from the West Virginia Division of Justice & Community Services.
Jim Morgan moved to accept a Justice Assistance Grant (project number 17-JAG-29) for $62,100, and Nancy Cartmill seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The commission then approved a Victims of Crime Act contract (project number 15-VA-118) for $125,969 after a separate motion by Cartmill and a second from Morgan.
The grants were presented as contract items on the agenda and recorded in the meeting file. The JAG award typically funds equipment, training and collaborative public‑safety efforts; the VOCA award supports services for crime victims. The commission did not discuss line‑item spending in detail during the meeting.
The approvals were formal motions recorded in the minutes; each motion passed by unanimous vote of the three commissioners present. The contracts were entered into the county record as exhibits to the meeting minutes.
