Commissioner asks full board approval to accept crime-victim advocate grant
Summary
County commissioner said the county should move acceptance of a crime-victim advocate grant to the full board for chairman signature; the grant is a repeat of a prior award that was previously extended statewide.
A commissioner told the meeting that the county must obtain full board approval before the chairman can sign the contract accepting a crime-victim advocate grant. The commissioner said this award was previously announced, then pulled statewide, extended for a year, and required reapplication; he asked that the board move acceptance to the full board so the chairman can execute the agreement when the award is finalized.
"We need the board to ultimately approve acceptance of our crime victim advocate grant," the commissioner said, describing prior extensions and the need for the chair's signature. Board members discussed timing and noted that the county typically receives the announcement close to a meeting; staff said they expect the contract to be ready before the next full board meeting or by the end of August.
