Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: The District Attorney's Office has been awarded an Enhancing Investigations and Prosecution grant through the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women. This is a three-year grant for $500,000. The funding period begins 10/1/24. We need to expend a small amount of the funding in 2024 to purchase equipment for the new employee that will start 1/1/25. We will not begin to expend the funding for the FTE until 1/1/25 as we will be working with County HR to finalize the job description and recruit for the position during the last quarter of 2024. This budget adjustment is being submitted now in order to obtain approval for the time-limited position the grant will fund at 100% so that we can begin the recruitment process and to record the 2024/2025 revenue.
