Joint resolution approving an emergency appropriation of $40,266 for grant fiscal year 2026 accepting additional funding from the Lake County Children's Advocacy Center Victims of Crime Act grant.
Staff Summary
* The Health Department received $40,266 in additional funding for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, which was not previously appropriated because the resources were approved after the County's adoption of the Fiscal Year budget.
* This funding continues the work of a Senior Therapist who works with children and offsets an existing staff salary and fringe benefits.
* If funding for the positions and services end, and new funding is not secured, the positions and services will be eliminated.
