• Superior Court Fund #001, Department #103 in the amount of the amount of $122,262.10 to
receive Department of Justice grant funds for their Drug Court Program.
Tom Gaines, Central Services Director described his requests. The extension request for the bathroom
project was originally $608,,110.00 but it was discovered that there was a carryover of funds from 2021.
A budget transfer from REET monies, 1St quarter in the amount of $250,,000.00 (126.168) is now being
requested.
Mr. Gaines stated the barn water addition is a transfer to assist with the expenses; and the Landscaper
position was approved in the 2022 budget but he didn't carry it over correctly, so this is being
requested.
Shareen Laughlin from Superior Court gave a brief description of their request. Katie Smith clarified that
the expenses total $99.,669.25 and the DOJ grant was only going to cover $91,669.25.
There is a difference of $8,000.00 that will come from Law and Justice funds. The Board determined
that the remaining $22,592.85 will also be taken from Law and Justice Funds.
A motion was made by Commissioner Carter, seconded by Commissioner Stone, to close the public
comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed unanimously. A motion was made by
Commissioner Carter, seconded by Commissioner Jones to approve the budget extensions but amending
the amount to the bathroom project to $358,110.00 and approving a transfer in the amount of
$250.,000.00 from REET funds. Commissioner Stone's connection to Webex was lost. The motion
passed by 2 Commissioners. ,0 C'
