Board approves two small contracts with Upstream Solutions to support Drug Free Communities grant
Summary
Supervisors authorized two contracts with Julie Fern doing business as Upstream Solutions — up to $3,000 using carryover funds for technical assistance and up to $300 for translation and annual-report assistance — pending final grant budget approval.
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors approved two contracts with Julie Fern (doing business as Upstream Solutions) to assist with the Drug Free Communities grant. The first contract uses carryover grant funds for technical assistance — "The 1st 1 is for $3,000 using the carryover that we had from last year's drug grant," staff said — to help Dawn Nelson implement the program and complete the initial setup. The second contract, for up to $300, will use budgeted funds in the grant for translation services to support limited populations and to assist with completing the grant's annual progress report.
Auditor staff presented the contracts and requested motions to authorize the chair's signature pending CDC/DFC grant budget approval and compliance with the notice of award. Both motions were made, seconded and carried. Board members discussed that federal grant rules limit certain uses (noting translation-service restrictions) and confirmed the contracts are within grant guidelines.
