Consideration of a resolution amending resolution 251216-5 to increase the amount requested for the FY 27 and FY28 grant application to the WY Supreme Court, Wyoming Court Supervised Treatment Program Grant, from $491,769.52 to $505,733 to fund the Drug Court Program.

Summary

This resolution amends Resolution No. 251216-5 to increase the grant funding request for the Laramie County Drug Court Program. The amount requested from the Wyoming Supreme Court for the FY2027 and FY2028 Wyoming Court Supervised Treatment Program Grant is raised from $491,769.52 to $505,733. The increase is necessary due to a change in how the Judicial Branch calculates the county's 25% match, which now includes requested surcharge amounts. The county's matching fund commitments remain unchanged at $62,000 for FY2027 and $63,098.70 for FY2028. Sandra Newland is appointed as the grant contact, and Fernando Muzquiz is authorized to implement the funded programs.

Citizen Impact

This amendment ensures continued funding for the Laramie County Drug Court Program, which provides treatment and supervision for individuals with substance abuse issues involved in the justice system. The increase in the grant request aims to maintain program operations without altering the county's financial contribution.
