Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 20BCC000005 in the amount of $24,500 to appropriate restricted funds from the Durham County Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Board for the Criminal Justice Resource Center's Drug Treatment Court. These revenues are unspent monies that were received in FY2019 for restricted purposes and were therefore restricted in fund balance in FY2019. Because they are restricted in fund balance, there is no impact on unassigned fund balance or the fund balance as a percentage of total general fund expenditures. This is a budgetary entry only for FY2020 to allow the spending of the restricted monies for the purposes of which they were received.
Every year, the Durham County ABC Board awards grants to programs which support the prevention of alcohol and drug abuse, as well as their effects. This is the first time that the Drug Treatment Court was eligible to apply for funding. The grant award will be used to support and enhance critical program components like alcohol and drug testing, medication assisted treatment, housing and transportation assistance, as well as client incentives. This grant does not require a match.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This agenda item aligns with Durham County's Strategic Goal 2: Health and Well-Being for All, as well as Goal 3: Safe Community
Resource Persons: Gudrun Parmer, CJRC Director, and Roshanna Parker, Assistant CJRC Director
