Prosecutor outlines program-funded bonuses, diversion spending and training requests

Prosecutor Mike reviewed his office’s 2026 requests and clarified the distinction between county-appropriated funds and program-generated accounts used by his office. He said the 4-D incentive funds — federal dollars tied to child-support enforcement — are separate from the county general fund and were the source of bonuses paid to staff last year. "So the 4 d has incentive funds that they receive from the federal government for recouping the money and actually paying child support to people for enforcing the child support orders," he said.
