This is a $24 to $25 thousand grant which is for an 18 -month period rather than a one-year
period. There is a provision for the purchase of an auomobile in the grant, which will be used to
transport victims in certain situations. The Sheriff's department requested a smaller car for this
program; however, after consideration by the board, it was decided that the county would purchase 14
patrol cars instead of 13. The board members believed this would be better use of tax funds.
There is $8,815 in this budget for holiday pay.
