Chief Judge Curtis Brown and Recovery Court coordinator Theresa Greenwood reported that the Recovery Court received a state award of a little over $25,000 from the Office of Judicial Administration's specialty‑court funding. "We were awarded over a little over $25,000," Brown told the board, and Greenwood outlined how the funds will be used.

Greenwood said the award will fund a three‑day intensive‑supervision officer training, another year of the Repath app for participant monitoring, incentives for participants, fuel vouchers to help clients get to appointments and a behavior‑therapy group specifically for women. Brown and Greenwood said their application was fully funded and that they will seek additional statewide solicitations next month.
