Council agrees to cover $7,000 probation education program for one year
Summary
The Clinton County Council voted to pick up a $7,000 inmate/probation education program after a state grant reduction, with members saying the county would re-evaluate if state funding returns. The motion passed unanimously.
The Clinton County Council voted to fund a $7,000 inmate and probation education program after probation staff said a Department of Corrections grant had been reduced. Matthew Grisk submitted the request in writing; council members discussed covering the cost for one year while monitoring the state budget. "His request to the council was that we consider picking up the program cost for a $7,000 inmate education program," the chair summarized when introducing the item.
Council members said they expect the state may restore some funding and treated the county payment as a one‑year bridge. Jeff moved to approve the funding and Todd seconded; the motion carried five to zero. The council recorded that the appropriation should be reassessed if state allocations change and asked staff to confirm any reporting or reimbursement timelines tied to the Department of Corrections grant.
