# Nina Jones **PCSO Financial Director.** Designated as the **Acting Authorized Official** on the federal [[Pulaski County PSN18 Grant Award (Contract 6228)|PSN18 grant]] — i.e., the day-to-day grant-administration authority delegated by Pulaski County Judge [[Barry Hyde]] under DFA-IGS's Request to Designate An Acting Authorized Official form. The delegation gives Jones authority to execute budget documents, reimbursement requests, and IGS communications on Judge Hyde's behalf without releasing Pulaski County from liability. ## Role and affiliations - **Financial Director**, [[Pulaski County Sheriff's Office]] - Acting Authorized Official, federal PSN18 grant administration ## Appearances in the corpus - **[[Pulaski County PSN18 Grant Award (Contract 6228)]]** — Designated as Acting Authorized Official in the April 2020 form filing; re-designated in the April 2021 grant-extension paperwork. Title rendered on the designation forms as *"PCSO Financial Director"*. - **[[SkyCop Invoice 8381 — Pulaski County Genetec System]]** — Named on the DFA-IGS Year-End Financial Report and Year-End Narrative Report as the Acting Authorized Official at grant closeout (January 2022). - **Pulaski County Grant Application Approval Request Form** (April 2021) — Listed as the PCSO Contact Person on the extension grant application form. ## Notes - **Jones is the operational counterpart to [[Barry Hyde]] in the grant-administration chain.** Judge Hyde holds the authority by name; Jones exercises it day-to-day. The structure is the federal-grant equivalent of the executive-delegation model used in many sub-state grant relationships. - The corpus does not document Jones's tenure at PCSO, her prior employment, or her broader role in PCSO finance beyond the PSN18 grant administration. She does not appear in the [[Pulaski County Flock Safety MSA and Order Form (Contract 6764)|Flock contract chain]] — by 2023, PCSO had different staff handling the Flock procurement (notably [[Joe Garza]]). - A follow-up question: whether Jones is still in the PCSO Financial Director role and whether she would have had a hand in the Flock general-fund procurement structure (i.e., the line item `3015-0400-3073`) is not in the corpus.
