Analysis
This resolution approves the second amendment to a Community Corrections Services grant from the Tennessee Department of Correction to the State Trial Courts to divert eligible offenses from the Tennessee prison system by providing community-based supervision and treatment services.
The grant contract approved in Resolution No. RS2025-1352 funds the administration of the Davidson County Community Corrections Program. The first amendment, approved in Resolution No. RS2025-1418, corrected the out-on-bond monthly home visit requirements in the community corrections supervision program standards from one home visit to zero home visits.
The proposed amendment would increase the grant funds by $2,950,860 from $1,475,430 to $4,426,290, extending the contract term by two years from June 30, 2026, to June 30, 2028. The amendment also specifies permitted uses for any residual payroll savings and states that any salary adjustments are subject to availability of funds.
