Victim-services grant funds could cover radio and supplies, county attorney says
Summary
The county attorney said remaining grant funds could be used to buy equipment (including a vehicle radio estimated at about $7,500) and supplies for victim-witness services; an application is due in January.
The county attorney told commissioners that the victim-services grant still contains unspent funds and that the office will apply for a new grant in January. She said some equipment requests, such as installing a radio in a vehicle, could be covered from the grant if approved. "Which I think last time I checked was about $7,500," the county attorney said of the radio estimate when describing equipment needs for victim-witness staff.
Staff emphasized that many victim-services costs are grant-funded and that the office does not plan to move personnel from intermittent to full-time status at this time. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about how vehicle repairs, fuel and brochures would be funded; the county attorney said she expected grant funds would accommodate printing and some equipment within the current grant cycle.
