Gratiot County converts indigent-defense assistant from part time to full time; state grant covers cost
Summary
The board approved moving an administrative assistant position in indigent defense from part time to full time; county staff said the change was included in the budget and is 100% grant-funded by the state.
The Gratiot County Board of Commissioners approved converting an indigent defense administrative assistant position from part time to full time.
Sheila told the board the change was included in the county budget and that the state has already approved grant funding for the position. The administrator confirmed the position is “100% grant funded.” Commissioners approved the move by motion and voice vote.
Why it matters: increasing the position to full time responds to an increased workload in indigent defense services and is expected to support timely case management; because the position is grant funded the county’s general fund was not expected to absorb the cost.
Next steps: payroll will be updated to reflect full-time status and county staff said they can provide the grant documentation on request.
