ASAP director asks Charlotte County for modest annual support to sustain DUI and supervision services
Summary
Southside Virginia ASAP requested Charlotte County consider a modest annual contribution (reported range $5,000–$10,000 in other counties) to help sustain DUI education, ignition interlock supervision, and pretrial services after merging regional offices and seeing rising operational costs.
Roy Keith Lloyd, executive director of Southside Virginia ASAP, briefed the board on ASAP's role as the county's state‑certified provider of DUI education, ignition interlock supervision and pretrial services. Lloyd said the organization historically operated on offender fees but that rising costs make that model unsustainable; the FY25 budget was cited at $487,267. He said neighboring counties (Mecklenburg, Halifax, Brunswick) have committed $10,000 each and that contributions in the region have ranged from $5,000 to $10,000 annually. Lloyd asked the board to consider a modest contribution to maintain offender supervision and program access in Charlotte County.
Chairman David asked whether the board has given funds previously; Lloyd said this would be Charlotte County's first contribution since the merger took effect June 1 of the prior year. Board members asked staff to review the request and bring a recommendation back to a future meeting.
