Committee approves $38,412 increase to Child Advocacy Center budget; approves purchase of exam equipment
Summary
The committee approved increasing the Child Advocacy Center allocation from $250,000 to $288,412 and authorized purchasing a colposcope for the Cornell Child Advocacy Center site to support age-appropriate internal exams when needed.
County staff said the county budgeted $250,000 for the Child Advocacy Center but received an allocation of $288,412 and requested appropriating the additional $38,412. The committee approved the budget adjustment.
Staff also said part of the increase will be used to purchase a colposcope for the Cornell Child Advocacy Center site to support internal exams for young females when medically required. When a committee member asked, "What is a coposcope?" staff explained it is an exam device designed for young people to support internal examinations in forensic contexts; the article uses the standard medical term "colposcope" to reflect the device type.
