DISCUSSION ON JUVENILE SERVICES: Rod Bass with Mid- Plains Center thanked the board for the opportunity to present this to the County Board. Hall County has the need for a staff- secure facility and there is now community-based grant money available from the Crime Commission to help fund this project. It is necessary to have a governmental agency sponsor the grant. Hartman expressed concern if the money would be available for future years Mr. Bass explained that there would be ongoing funding from Health & Human Services and the Crime Commission. Hall County would only act as the fiscal agent. The funding would provide for the programs and they have looked at using the Children's Village facility or the veterans hospital building to locate the staff-secure facility. The grant application is due by February 19, 1998. Bill White stated that this is an excellent opportunity for the community to do something for our youth.
