County searches for three-year drug-grant coordinator after CSAC staffing change

Jackson County Board of Supervisors · September 16, 2025

Summary

County staff said CSAC cannot administer the three-year drug grant because a key staff member is going part time; the county has contacted Robert Young as a possible administrator but is awaiting confirmation of cross-state eligibility and will use GrantSolutions to decline if necessary.

Shelley from the operator's office told the board that CSAC will be unable to administer the county's drug grant because Laura (the local CSAC contact) is shifting to part-time work and returning to school. The county has contacted Robert Young as a potential alternative but must determine whether an Illinois-based administrator can run a grant that crosses state lines.

Shelley said the grant funds employment for the project coordinator and warned that losing time to onboarding a new, inexperienced coordinator could reduce the three-year program's effectiveness. She told the board the county could decline the grant in GrantSolutions if no suitable local administrator is found. "According to what Karen when she talked to Nathan, it's relatively easy. We just either email or go on to the GrantSolutions website and find it," Shelley said. Staff agreed to continue outreach and report back if a local or regional administrator is available to carry the project forward.
