Council approves consent agenda and multiple grant appropriations including Arconic Foundation and CASA changes
Summary
The Tippecanoe County Council approved the consent agenda, passed a $100,000 magistrate appropriation for appointed counsel fees, and approved grants including a $35,000 Arconic Foundation award for the WOW program and other program and salary adjustments.
The council voted to approve the consent agenda and took a series of grant and appropriation votes in the July meeting.
A $100,000 additional appropriation was approved to pay appointed-counsel fees tied to special-judge cases; Magistrate Sarah Wyatt explained the appropriation would add a line item for payments that normally would come from elected courts' budgets. The council also approved a $35,000 Arconic Foundation grant for the WOW program, a community corrections grant (about $15,300) for Gateway to Hope counseling, and a juvenile-alternatives project-income appropriation to support leased vehicle use for electronic monitoring services.
The council approved a CASA staff reclassification (eliminating a volunteer-coordinator role and creating a staff-advocate position at the same pay grade) and several salary statements tied to probation and juvenile-community corrections grant funding. Most grant and grant-related salary motions passed by voice vote.
