Sep 1, 2026

Supervisors approved a victim-witness grant application to the California Office of Emergency Services for 10/01/2026–09/30/2027 after staff corrected a transmittal error; County Finance clarified single-audit considerations apply countywide and staff said the correction can be made before the end-of-week deadline.

Board members discussed item 5.6, a Victim Witness grant application to the California Office of Emergency Services covering the period 10/01/2026–09/30/2027. A staff clarification earlier in the meeting corrected a misprinted amount (from $671,000 to $71,000) in the transmittal. "My research is telling me otherwise," Finance Director Klaus Leidenbauer said, explaining that single-audit thresholds are calculated countywide and federal funds routed through county departments typically subject the county to single-audit rules.
