Comal commissioners approve a set of grant applications for specialty courts and juvenile services
Summary
The court approved resolutions authorizing grant applications to the Office of the Governor for Accountability Court ($89,092 request), Challenge Court ($103,213 request), Mental Health Court (resolution 202504), and the juvenile justice/truancy SAFE program; amounts awarded are determined by the governor's office.
The Comal County Commissioners Court approved several resolutions authorizing grant applications to the Office of the Governor to support specialty courts and juvenile services.
Katie Box, accountability court community supervision officer, asked the court to accept Resolution No. 202502 to seek funding to support an assigned supervision officer, drug testing analysis and other program expenses; a figure of $89,092 was presented as the request amount. Sandra Maggioni requested approval for Resolution No. 202503 for the Challenge Court program and presented an expense total of $103,213. For the Mental Health Court resolution (202504) staff later noted this is the same grant applied for last year and referenced a prior award figure (the transcript records an unclear figure: "28,005 or $610") related to travel to the RISE conference; the resolution was approved when presented. Mr. Collins presented Resolution No. 202505 for the juvenile justice and truancy prevention grant to support the SAFE program; court approved the resolution.
