Commissioners approve JDAI-funded contracts for juvenile services for 2026-27
Summary
Tippecanoe County approved contractual services funded by the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative grant for July 1, 2026'June 30, 2027, listing multiple contractees (county employees and partner providers) to support parent education and juvenile alternatives programming.
Tippecanoe County commissioners voted June 15 to approve contractual services under the JDAI (Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative) grant for the fiscal period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
Staff explained that all listed contracts are grant-funded and that the parent project and some listed roles are held by county employees who will be paid through the grant when serving the parent education program. The board approved a single motion covering multiple contractees, including Dr. Matt Olsma, Victor Torres, Michael Daly, Laura Stoll, Madeline Reardon, Caitlin Romza, Misty Robinson, Rebecca Humphrey, Devin Moore, Mariah Anderson, Willis Stone Family Services, Jackie Vega, Wendy Toll, and others named in the packet.
A commissioner asked whether all items were grant-funded; staff confirmed they are paid through JDAI. Staff also noted transparency that some county employees are listed because the parent project is run on Sundays and is separate from regular duties.
What happens next: staff will finalize the contracts and administer the JDAI-funded programming as approved. The motion passed by voice vote in the meeting record.
