EMPORIA, KS - Community Corrections will rely on reimbursements for drug testing and try for a grant to make up for a reduction of about $35,000 in its allocation for handling adult offenders. The budget information was explained late Tuesday afternoon during a meeting of the Community Corrections Advisory Board.

ā€œI’m going to have to spend some of our revenue to get through the first six months of the budget,ā€ said Robert Sullivan, Community Corrections director.

Sullivan said he will work with staff to write an application for a share of about $4 million of state grant money that has become available through Senate Bill 14. The money will be distributed through a competitive process among 30 other judicial districts in the state.

Sullivan also said that he met with county commissioners to explain why he inserted contingency funding for the department in the county budget. Read more.
