County accepts three-year OJP grant to fund special attorneys program
Summary
The district attorney's office informed the court it received an OJP FY2026 Special Attorneys Program grant (OPJADash2026Dash172587) covering 06/01/2026 to 05/31/2029; commissioners voted to accept the grant funds.
Karen, representing the District Attorney's Office, told the court the office learned it had been awarded a three-year OJP FY2026 Special Attorneys Program grant (OPJADash2026Dash172587) that will fund a grant-funded attorney position from June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2029. "The district attorney's office applied for a grant back in the spring and we found out quite suddenly that we actually had gotten the grant," Karen said, explaining the award timeline and term.
Commissioners voted to accept the grant funds by voice vote. Judge Allen and commissioners noted the value of taking advantage of grant opportunities to support county operations and legal capacity; no additional local match or budget amendment specific to the grant was recorded during the discussion.
