The Carroll County Board of Commissioners approved several funding and procurement items during its April 16 open session.
The board authorized submission of the FY27–FY29 Promoting Safe & Stable Families application and accepted the award for program delivery. Service providers described program elements: the Carol County Youth Service Bureau’s Parent‑Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for ages 2–7, which uses live coaching via earpiece and a one‑way mirror and typically runs 12–20 sessions per family; and a family center "two‑gen" model that pairs parent supports (GED, parenting classes, workforce tools) with child development enrichment. Mindy Yard (program director, Carroll County Youth Service Bureau) and Jenny Greybel (CEO, Human Services Programs of Carroll County, Inc.) described outcomes tied to reduced need for higher‑cost services and supports for at‑risk families. The board approved the submission and acceptance by voice vote.
The board also approved procurement requests by voice vote: spending authority not to exceed $55,510.42 to Prime Care Medical, Inc. for detention center catastrophic medical billing and related expenses through February 2026; an award for a 30,000‑gallon underground fire suppression water storage tank at 1738 Old Tonytown Road to Stanalls, Inc. ($320,810); and purchase of one Ford 9x2 lift from a state contract vendor for $119,714 using FY26 transportation capital funds.
Votes: Each item was approved by voice vote; the transcript records motions, seconds, and the chair calling for the question and announcing that motions carried.
What happens next: Departments will proceed with grant implementation (service providers to deliver PCIT and family‑center programming under the awarded funds) and procurement teams will execute contracts and purchase orders under the approved amounts.
