Holt County approves $10,920 to CASA of Elkhorn Valley from opioid settlement funds
Summary
The Holt County Board approved $10,920 in funding to CASA of Elkhorn Valley using National Opioid Settlement Funds to train and support volunteer court advocates for abused and neglected children; funding requires an annual progress and expenditure report.
The Holt County Board of Supervisors voted July 16 to provide $10,920 to CASA of Elkhorn Valley to support training and volunteer court-based advocacy for abused and neglected children.
Supervisor Neiman moved to approve the award; Supervisor Linquist seconded. The funding was authorized from Holt County’s National Opioid Settlement Funds. The motion carried unanimously among the members present (Treptow, Linquist, Neiman, Breiner and Paxton voting aye; Tielke and Frahm absent).
Monica Huber of CASA of Elkhorn Valley was present to update the Board and request continued county support. The Board required that CASA provide Holt County with an annual progress report and an expenditure report tied to the grant funds.
The funding is intended to pay for volunteer training and support; the minutes do not specify whether the award is a one-time or recurring allocation beyond the requirement for an annual report. The Board’s action was recorded in the minutes and placed on file.
What happens next: CASA will use the funds for volunteer training and must submit the requested annual reports to the county.
