District Attorney OVS award amended after prior rescind; travel authorizations also recorded
Summary
The committee rescinded a previous OVS resolution after the Comptroller’s Office pulled the funding, then approved an amended OVS award of at least $378,856.48 (an increase of $94,712.12) for Victim Services through Sept. 30, 2026; travel authorizations for DA staff also approved.
The District Attorney’s office presented multiple items to the committee. The minutes record that the Comptroller’s Office pulled funding tied to an OVS (Office of Victim Services) award, prompting rescind of Resolution #25-468 from Aug. 12, 2025. The committee then authorized an amended OVS grant acceptance for Victim Services in a minimum amount of $378,856.48 — an overall increase of $94,712.12 to the original contract — effective through Sept. 30, 2026 (State Contract #11428GG; MUNIS #3626). The minutes note a prior preapproval on Feb. 20 for related items.
The committee also approved overnight travel for District Attorney staff Vincent Hemming, Gabrielle Linsey and Patricia Van Son to attend the National Association of Extradition Officials training in Louisville, Kentucky, May 31–June 2, 2026, with costs covered by ATP grant funds and seized asset money. Motions for the grant amendment and travel were recorded as carried in the minutes.
