Council approves juvenile grants: $77,600 for problem‑solving court and $4,289.48 for JDAI
Summary
Juvenile probation director Connie Burton told the council the department requested $77,600 to fund the juvenile problem‑solving court and reentry program and $4,289.48 for JDAI supplies and training; the council approved the appropriations as part of the overall package.
Connie Burton, speaking for juvenile probation, asked the council to appropriate $77,600 for juvenile problem‑solving court operations and reentry services and $4,289.48 for the JDAI grant to cover meeting supplies and travel.
Burton said the larger amount supports juvenile referees' pay and a probation case manager position. "We have asked for 77,600," Burton said, describing the funding's purpose for the problem‑solving court and reentry program. The smaller JDAI grant covers quarterly meeting supplies and travel. The council included these items in the broader additional appropriations ordinance adopted later in the meeting.
