On Aug. 10, 2026, the Garland County Special Finance Committee approved a resolution authorizing the Garland County Prosecuting Attorney to apply for a FY2027 Arkansas Community Assistance Grant Program award. The resolution notes the grant requires a 20% local match.
Prosecutor Lawrence told the committee the grant "would replace one of the VOCA positions lost in 2026." Vice‑Chairman Brown moved a do‑pass motion and Justice Peters seconded. Chairwoman McGrew asked for questions; none were raised and the committee approved the motion without opposition.
The authorization allows the prosecuting attorney to pursue the grant opportunity; the transcript does not specify the dollar amount sought or the timeline for application. The committee recorded present members as Chairwoman McGrew, Vice‑Chairman Brown, Justices Anderson, Peters and Hunter; Justices Myers and Edds were absent.
