Administration requested committee authorization to submit the Michigan indigent-defense grant application with a required submission deadline of April 25. Finance Director Melissa said the grant supports a statutorily required service and the county must provide the service regardless; the estimated current-year budget exposure reported in committee discussion was roughly $449,000 in service costs to be covered by the county as part of the grant framework.
The committee moved, supported and approved staff filing the application; staff will return with final grant documents and any required budget adjustments if the funding is awarded.
