JEFFERSON —Ashtabula County commissioners gave the green light to Homesafe Inc. director Sherrie Price to file an application for a Justice Assistance Grant to pay for a legal advocate position.
The application to the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services is for $26,989.50.
The grant period is from Jan. 1, 2009, to Dec. 3, 2009, according to Price. The legal advocate works with adult victims of domestic violence.
Homesafe Inc. will provide the 25 percent match of $6,747 from its operational funds, including from the United Way, donations and private foundation sources, Price wrote in a memo to the commissioners.
In other business, the commissioners:
n Awarded a $32,598 bid to True North Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Kingsville to supply two small sport utility vehicles for the Ashtabula County Auditor’s office. The Kingsville dealership’s price was the lowest and best of three local area firms;
