Commissioners accept multiple grants and donations, including DARE, DART and JAG awards
Summary
Portage County commissioners approved a slate of donations and grant awards at their Aug. 10 meeting, including DARE and DART grants from the Ohio Attorney General's Office and a JAG award (grant number 2025-JGA0167055) for the sheriff's drug and violent crime unit; several donations were accepted to support county programs.
The board approved several donations and grant awards intended to support child-protection outreach, employee-sponsored fundraisers, back-to-school wellness activities and sheriff's office programs. The motions were moved and seconded individually and carried by roll call.
Commissioner Coughlin moved to accept the Ohio Attorney General's 2026 drug-use prevention (DARE) grant and the 2026–27 law enforcement diversion DART grant for the Portage County Sheriff's Office. Commissioner Bennett seconded, noting, "I will 2nd and I love that there's no local match." The board also approved the 2025 Justice Assistance Grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety/OCJS for the sheriff's drug and violent crime unit, recorded as grant number 2025-JGA0167055. Multiple cash donations to Portage County Job and Family Services and separate scholarship and event donations were accepted in subsequent votes.
Each grant and donation motion included a roll-call vote and was recorded by the board. The actions move funds and resources to county service programs without requiring local matching funds in several cases.
