Commissioners authorize sheriff to sign $8,000 officer-wellness grant (K385)
Summary
The board approved authorization for the Benton County Sheriff to sign a Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission officer wellness grant (K385) for $8,000 to purchase durable fitness and wellness equipment.
The Benton County Board of Commissioners authorized the sheriff June 2 to sign a Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission officer wellness grant (K385) totaling $8,000.
Sheriff Clark (speaker 14) told the board the county has participated in the CJTC wellness grant for several years. The grant has been used for items ranging from wellness program development to fitness equipment; this year’s award emphasizes one-time purchases of durable physical-fitness equipment and supplemental items.
Sheriff Clark asked for permission to sign the agreement and execute purchases; a commissioner moved to approve the contract between the Benton County Sheriff’s Office and the Washington State CJTC for the officer wellness grant in the amount of $8,000 and to authorize the sheriff to digitally sign the grant contract (K385). The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The sheriff noted that CJTC funding levels have decreased over time and the county finances these purchases through existing investigative or operating funds.
No further appropriation was recorded on the meeting record; purchases will be executed under the authority of the sheriff’s office and within the grant’s terms.
