Board approves amended opioid grant application for Veterans Drug Court
Summary
The Williamson County Board approved an amended opioid funding application for the Veterans Drug Court after staff said training attendance estimates rose and the requested amount was updated; the motion passed on roll call.
The Williamson County Board of Commissioners approved an amended opioid funding application for the county Veterans Drug Court during its July 21 meeting.
Staff and commissioners discussed an updated attendance estimate for training tied to the grant application, concluding the number of participants had been revised upward from an initial estimate of one or two people to at least nine. The application amount shown in discussion increased from an earlier $12,000 figure to an amended request around $24,460; board members confirmed the county’s state’s attorney had indicated the county would cover the expense if necessary. The board moved and approved the application on a roll-call vote.
The funding will be used for training tied to the Veterans Drug Court program; specific subaward or spending-line details were not specified in the meeting packet and staff said the amended application reflects the updated training headcount. Commissioners did not attach additional conditions to the approval.
