Summary
The committee reviewed and advanced multiple budget housekeeping items: a county health fund reallocation, a juvenile justice abuse/neglect fund reallocation, and certification of a $394,465 state grant for a juvenile intervention program with a subrecipient identified as People's Action (TPA).
The Ways and Means committee reviewed several budget adjustments and a state grant for juvenile services.
Kamal Kapooroo, finance director for Management and Budget, presented a year-end reallocation in the county health fund intended to reconcile public-health grant accounts. Members had no substantive questions and the committee moved the item forward.
Juvenile Youth Services Director Rachel Davis and finance director Sharron Rose briefed the committee on a state grant award of $394,465 to support the Burns State Scribe Intervention Program for juvenile services. Davis said Wayne County is the grantee and identified a subrecipient as TPA (People’s Action), characterized in the briefing as a community violence intervention (CVI) group that will work with youth involved in gun- and gang-related violence. Davis told the committee this is the department’s first time receiving the award.
Staff also introduced a separate budget adjustment in the juvenile-justice abuse/neglect fund to reallocate expenditures; no substantive questions were raised about that item.
Next steps: items were moved forward for final action later in the meeting and staff will implement the accounting changes once the commission approves the adjustments.
