Kendall County approves applications for multiple criminal‑justice and public‑safety grants
Summary
The Commissioners’ Court approved a series of resolutions authorizing county staff or the district attorney to apply for Violence Against Women Act, Victims of Crime Act, Justice Assistance Grant, testing of forensic evidence, and Byrne/JAG radio replacement funding. Several items name Sheriff Al Auxier as the authorized signatory.
Kendall County Commissioners on Jan. 27 approved a package of resolutions allowing county staff and the County District Attorney to apply for several federal and state grant programs aimed at victim services, forensic testing and law‑enforcement support.
The court approved Resolution #R-20260127-1 directing the County District Attorney to apply for Violence Against Women Act continuation funding, Resolution #R-20260127-2 to apply for Victims of Crime Act funding, and Resolution #R-20260127-3 to apply for Justice Assistance Grant continuation funding. Commissioner Richard Chapman moved the VAWA resolution; County Judge Shane Stolarczyk seconded and each carried on recorded 5–0 votes.
Separately, the court approved a resolution to apply for Testing of Forensic Evidence grant funding (R-20260127-4) after a clerical misstatement by a commissioner was noted in the minutes. The court also approved Resolution #R-20260127-6 to apply for an Edward Byrne JAG Mobile Radio Replacement Grant in the amount of $85,000 and authorized Sheriff Al Auxier to execute necessary documents. Each of the listed grant resolutions passed with recorded 5–0 votes.
The minutes show motions and seconders for each resolution and record unanimous support; the minutes do not include detailed staff presentations on proposed program budgets beyond the radio grant amount. The court did not attach conditions or matching-fund requirements to the approved applications where the minutes indicate none were required.
