Members approved renewal of the county’s statement of economic interest system with LRS; the presenter noted a slight price increase, but no amount was stated. The committee also approved two behavioral-health-related funding actions: a $20,000 contract for Jobs Partnership Re-entry and a $40,527.25 YouthBuild contract for stabilization and support services. It approved an extension of the 2026 Re-entry Council grant through March 31, 2027, citing the recipient’s need for more time to complete its work.
