Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the submission of a grant application as developed, written, and submitted by Webb County Court-at-Law II for BJA Community Courts Initiative Grant in an amount estimated at $900,000.00 for a period of 48 months to create and enhance a family treatment court program for offenders in the justice system with substance abuse disorders, mental health, trauma, and other ancillary needs that fuel domestic violence and designating the Webb County Judge as the authorized official in all matters related to this grant; and any other matters incident thereto. This grant does require a 25% cash or in-kind match and, thus, will have no impact on the general fund if approved. Through the application, Webb County Court-at-Law II will submit to contribute the 25% of total grant funds through an in-kind match. All required documents were sent for review through the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures. [Requested by Judge Victor Villarreal, County Court at Law #2]
