Commission approves program manager position for Great Basin CAC with two‑year funding plan

Carolyn Smith, District Attorney’s office manager, described the need for a program manager at the Great Basin Child Advocacy Center (CAC) and summarized possible funding: a DA office grant modification to repurpose grant funds (~$33,738 over three years, roughly $11k/year), use of salary savings from vacancies ($45k–$51k for six months savings cited) and donated funds from neighboring counties. The budget committee recommended moving forward and the commission approved creating the position with initial funding strategies and direction to clarify long‑term funding.
