CJCC reviews TAD grant timeline and proposes behavioral-health hires as waitlist grows
Summary
Oneida County CJCC members reviewed a state TAD grant teleconference outlining a scored pre-application (mid-May to July), noted limits on training funds, and reported a waitlist of 71 as members move a proposal for two behavioral-health positions to the County Board.
Mary Rideout told the committee she attended the state teleconference on the TAD grant process and summarized key deadlines and changes: this year the pre-application (to be released mid-May and due in July) will be the scored step that determines eligibility; the full application is slated for release in September with a October due date and award letters expected in December.
Rideout said priority for the grant will be given to current grantees and to treatment courts that are not already funded by TAD. The minutes state the state will limit the amount of grant money that can be used for training. A more detailed information session is scheduled at the Wisconsin Association of Treatment Court Professionals statewide conference on April 22, 2026.
Committee members discussed sustaining programs beyond grant periods. The minutes report that Forest and Vilas county boards have approved adding behavioral health positions, and that a proposal to hire two behavioral health positions passed the Oneida County Executive Committee unanimously and is now advancing to the Oneida County Board for approval.
Officials reported a current waitlist of 71 people seeking services. Committee members and subcommittees discussed using grant-writing support and increased transparency with county board members to improve promotion and sustainability.
The committee also reviewed packet financials: the opioid settlement balance was reported as $819,224.84 as of Feb. 28, 2026. No formal funding award was recorded at the meeting; next steps include grant-writing activity and County Board consideration of the proposed hires.
