Oklahoma County approves letter of support for Oklahoma City's SAMHSA grant application
Summary
County commissioners approved a letter committing to collaborate with Oklahoma City on a SAMHSA 'Safety Through Recovery Engagement and Evidence Based Treatment and Support' grant application, noting the county would collaborate where appropriate but has no specific responsibilities identified in the letter.
Oklahoma County commissioners approved a letter of support for Oklahoma City's application to a SAMHSA grant program described in the staff memo as "Safety Through Recovery Engagement and Evidence Based Treatment and Support." A county staff member said the letter states that Oklahoma County is "pleased to provide this letter of commitment in support of the City of Oklahoma City's application" and that the county intends to serve as a collaborative partner if the grant is awarded.
The staff summary noted that the county would participate in cross-system planning and could support the OKC streets grant where appropriate, but that the application did not specifically request county responsibilities at this time. "If you have any questions relating to what our level of commitment would look like as far as collaborating, that question was asked, would the county have any responsibilities in with this grant? And they responded, no, we would like to collaborate when and where appropriate, but there is not a specific request at this time," the staff presenter said.
Commissioners moved to approve the letter of support and voted by voice. The transcript does not specify any follow-up duties or deadlines for county staff.
What happens next: The letter of support becomes part of Oklahoma City's grant application; county staff indicated willingness to collaborate but did not identify specific commitments on the public record.
