Deputy Administrator Melanie Thume told the Gladwin County Board on May 27 that the county received correspondence indicating the State and/or Federal agencies would no longer reimburse a portion of costs associated with a Marine Grant. The report prompted discussion but the board declined to take action at the meeting.
Thume described the change as an update to grant reimbursement expectations; minutes record discussion but do not specify which agencies or what portion of costs will no longer be reimbursed.
