Discussion and possible action to ratify the County Court-at-Law 2 DWI Court Program submission of a Year 3, non-competing Continuation Grant Application for SAMHSA Grant #TI-081049 (TI-18-008). This grant solicitation has been reviewed, and is compliant with SPOC. There will be no impact to the General Fund. [Requested by County Court at Law II - DWI Court Program; Account #2356-2070]
Issue: Grant funds have already been awarded for the next 5 years. However, it is required by the funding agency to submit a non-competing continuation application for each individual year of the grant. Thus, since it is the intention of County Court-at-Law 2 to continue to renew services under the grant over the next 5 years, a non-competing continuation application will be submitted by the DWI Court Program to continue services for year 3.
Solution: Ratify the submission of the Continuation application as submitted in order to allow DWI Court Program to continue to offer services under the grant for year 3.
Result: County Court-at-Law 2 will continue to remain in compliance with SPOC, and with the submission rules and regulations set forth by the funding agency.
Background:
This grant had previously been approved and awarded for the next 5 years.
