BACKGROUND
The City of Laredo Health Department applied and was awarded the Drug Court Based Substance Use Treatment Program #1H79TI086353-01 on 09/08/2023 with a project period of 09/30/2023 to 09/29/2028.
Upon further review, the City of Laredo did not meet the minimum requirements for this award; therefore, the City of Laredo Health Department willingly relinquishes any and all unobligated balance of funds as well as any future support for this award.
Of the $400,000.00 awarded to City of Laredo, $0 have been expended as of 12/08/2023. Therefore, the unobligated balance of funds remaining is $400,000.00 of which will be relinquished and thus the FY2023-2024 budget shall be amended as such.
