title
Request by the Sheriff's Office for approval to temporarily transfer general funds in the amount of $125,000 to fund the cost of four grant positions pending receipt of the award for the FY26 Domestic Violence & Human Trafficking Advocacy grant from the Office of the Governor and extend the positions to September 30, 2026.

Background and Discussion:
It is anticipated that we will receive this award; however, the award maybe delayed by the grantor. This temporary budget transfer also serves to start the workflow to extend the grant positions into the new grant.
Expected Impact:
This temporary budget transfer also serves to start the workflow to extend the grant positions into the new grant.
Alternative Options:
If we do not complete this temporary budget transfer and if the grant award is delayed, funds will not be available for salary and benefits costs for the Domestic Violence & Human Trafficking Advocacy Program and the grant positions may not roll over into the new grant project in time.
