Summary

The commission approved a FTAP grant extension for deputies to serve domestic violence protection orders, extended the jail food service contract for one year, and approved appointment of Aliyah Lacy as a deputy district attorney.

The commission approved several personnel and grant items: an employment/appointment agreement to appoint Aliyah Lacy as a deputy district attorney; an extension of the jail food service contract (the same vendor since 2020) for a short term option; and acceptance/extension of the FTAP federal grant through the Office on Violence Against Women to fund overtime for deputies serving protection orders.

A sheriff's office representative said the FTAP grant funds overtime pay so deputies can serve protection orders and domestic-violence-related duties; the grant is a Department of Justice award administered through the Office on Violence Against Women and the county functions as a subgrantee. The DA appointment motion and related grant and contract items were moved, seconded and approved by voice votes.
