Sheriff says pending federal grants, summer staffing needs could affect Kalkaska County budget
Summary
Kalkaska County Sheriff Whiteford told the Finance Committee June 10 that pending federal grants for marine patrol and other needs during the summer and holidays could have budget implications; he said the department will monitor and report updates to the committee.
Sheriff Whiteford told the Kalkaska County Finance Committee on June 10 that several federal grant applications could affect department operations and the county budget. He said grants that would support marine patrol are in process and that the department anticipates increased needs during the summer and holiday periods.
Whiteford identified two grants as pending and asked the committee to note potential budget impacts. "IT grant and Livewell grant pending," the minutes record as his summary of grants under consideration. He said the department will continue to monitor grant outcomes and report back to county administration and the committee.
County administrators present, including County Administrator David Schaeffer, heard the report; the minutes say the sheriff "noted department needs, will monitor/report" but do not record specific dollar amounts or timelines for awards. The committee did not take action at the meeting beyond asking staff and the sheriff's office to provide further updates if and when grant awards or budget impacts become clearer.
