Sheriff's office says grant filed; tournament raised roughly $7,000 for community outreach
Summary
Amberley told commissioners the sheriff's office submitted a grant application (decision expected in October) and reported about $7,000 raised from sponsorships and a 50/50 drawing at a recent sheriff's tournament that will support community outreach.
The sheriff's office reported on July 20 that it has submitted a grant application and expects an award decision in October.
Amberley, speaking for the sheriff's office, summarized the recent sheriff's golf tournament fundraiser: the event drew around 21 teams, secured more than $7,000 in sponsor donations and generated raffle proceeds that will support community outreach programs. Amberley said the office added budget line items for a possible new deputy tied to a grant application (staff had included a second deputy position in the draft budget as an estimate tied to the grant). Commissioners praised the fundraising effort and discussed including a grant match in next year's budget if the application is awarded.
No formal vote was taken on the grant at the meeting; commissioners noted the grant has a cap of $125,000 in discussion and said they had already included a budget placeholder for a matching amount in 2027.
