Muskegon County moves to accept FY 2026 emergency management grant; chair to sign
Summary
County commissioners moved to accept a FY 2026 Emergency Management Performance grant agreement and authorized the board chair to sign; finance staff said the packet included last year’s contract as a placeholder and the current contract will be updated before finalization.
Muskegon County commissioners moved on Sept. 2 to accept a Fiscal Year 2026 Emergency Management Performance grant agreement and to authorize the board chair to sign the agreement, with a grant amount cited in the meeting of $300,000. The motion received verbal support during a voice vote recorded in the meeting transcript.
The item was presented as an administrative authorization to accept grant funding. A commissioner voiced support for the item and the record shows the meeting proceeding after an 'Aye' was called; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally identifying individual yes or no votes.
During follow-up questions, an unidentified speaker noted that the contract attached to the agenda packet appeared to be last year’s version. Victoria Chesky, finance director, said, "They don't have the contract yet. They typically attach the last one just to give you an idea of what it looks like," and that staff would update the agreement before it is finalized.
The transcript does not include additional detail about programmatic uses for the grant or the funding source beyond the item title and the cited amount. Meeting participants did not specify a mover or seconder on the record in the posted transcript. Staff indicated they will provide an updated contract before final execution.
The board then moved on to the next item on the agenda.
