Court approves multiple grant resolutions including Stone Garden and Criminal Justice applications
Summary
The treasurer presented several grant resolutions. The court approved a Stone Garden grant (FY2025 timing), a Senate-Bill-8 related allocation for jail work (~$80,000), and plans to apply for a Criminal Justice grant (estimated up to $400,000, reimbursable/match-dependent) and a body-worn camera grant (match required).
Treasurer Julie (speaker 4) told the court she is preparing a set of grant resolutions and updates on reconciliations; she said the Stone Garden project is technically in fiscal year 2025 due to prior COVID-era extensions and that the Stone Garden grant is approximately $365,000 for overtime, LPR equipment and vehicle/maintenance costs.
The court discussed "Senate Bill 8" funds the comptroller will route (approximately $80,000) and a Criminal Justice grant application to fund additional positions and vehicle/UTV equipment for South County use; the Criminal Justice application was described as potentially totaling around $400,000 depending on approval and is reimbursable. The body-worn camera application was described as a matching grant with an estimated $20,000-plus award and a $6,700 match.
The court moved to accept the presented resolutions and authorized staff to proceed with applications and any required budgeting steps; commissioners emphasized the county's heavy reliance on grant funding for public-safety positions and operations.
