Deputy chief: Muskegon County public defender seeks annual grant renewal; county match set by statute
Summary
Deputy Chief Public Defender Angela Dormeyer told commissioners the office was preparing an annual grant renewal for FY2026 and that a slight county match increase is mandated by statute; the application was described as nearly finalized and due later this month.
Angela Dormeyer, deputy chief public defender, told the Muskegon County safety committee on April 17 that the public defender's office was preparing its annual grant renewal for FY2026.
"This is just our annual grant renewal. It's due on the 20 fifth of this month. It's not quite finalized, but just about there," Dormeyer said. She told commissioners that there is a "slight increase in the county match this year that's set by statute" and that most of the additional funds sought would cover personnel and a few contractual items.
Dormeyer said Miss Campanelli (not present) would likely attend the next meeting to provide further details. The committee did not record a final vote on the grant application in the provided transcript; staff indicated they would return with any outstanding details.
The transcript includes a motion to authorize application for the grant, moved by Commissioner Nash; a recorded second is not clear in the provided text. The motion's final vote and approval status are not recorded in the supplied transcript.
