County staff asked the board to approve applying for the 2026 Safe & Secure Courthouse Initiative Grant to pay for planned security upgrades at the Justice Center. The project was presented with a not-to-exceed cost of $400,000 and a 50% local match not to exceed $200,000. The board voted to authorize the application.

Staff characterized the action as an application authorization rather than an appropriation; the motion directs staff to submit the grant proposal and pursue the award if offered. The board recorded the motion as carried; staff will return with results if the county is invited to accept the grant and outline match funding requirements.
