Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a grant from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to the Davidson County Juvenile Court originally approved by Resolution No. RS2022-1664. The original grant was for an amount not to exceed $500,000. The term of the original grant began on July 1, 2022, and was set to end on December 31, 2024.
The amendment under consideration extends the term of the grant by six months, until June 30, 2025. The grant amount would be increased from $500,000 to $600,000. The grant budget attachment would be updated to reflect these changes. In addition, a provision would be added to authorize the State of Tennessee to extend the term of the grant for an additional period not to exceed 12 months under the same terms and conditions, but in no event may the term exceed 60 months.
