Douglas County’s April 15 business agenda includes a Juvenile Department grant agreement (IMP-27-05) with the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission for $1,071,020 to fund community-based treatment, supports and diversion services for high utilizers of emergency medical and criminal-justice systems.
The grant document, included with the agenda, says the funds will support Mobile Crisis, the Sobering Center, Detox, Crisis Resolution Rooms, the Chadwick Clubhouse and Tableau data analysis support through Umpqua Health Alliance. The agreement lists a total grant amount of $1,071,020 and a completion deadline of Aug. 31, 2027.
Under the disbursement schedule in the agreement, the Criminal Justice Commission will release $535,510 by April 30, 2026, $267,755 by Sept. 30, 2026, and $267,755 by March 31, 2027. The document also states that the commission may remove the final disbursement if the recipient has not expended at least 60% of the grant by Dec. 31, 2026. The agreement ties disbursement to routine conditions: timely execution, compliance with reporting and applicable law, and satisfactory financial and program records.
The grant language requires the county to use funds only for eligible project costs incurred between July 1, 2025, and the completion deadline, to maintain financial records for at least six years after project completion, and to permit inspections and audits by state officials. The agreement includes standard representations and warranties, default and remedy provisions, and termination rights for both parties.
The agenda item lists the Juvenile Department and references Koree Tatel in connection with the grant paperwork; no on-the-record comments from county officials or a formal vote outcome were included in the posted materials.
The document indicates the grant becomes effective when fully executed and that disbursements are contingent on the commission’s appropriation and conditions specified in the agreement.
