Sponsored By: Penny Luebs
Indigent Defense - Grant Acceptance from the State of Michigan for the FY 2023 Michigan
Indigent Defense Commission Grant
Chairperson and Members of the Board:
WHEREAS the Michigan Indigent Defense Commission Act (“MIDC Act”), MCL 780.981, et. seq.,
gives the Michigan Indigent Defense Commission (“MIDC”) the authority to propose minimum
standards for the provision of indigent criminal defense services; and
WHEREAS a proposed standard takes effect after it is adopted by the Department of Licensing and
Regulatory Affairs (“LARA”); and
WHEREAS the MIDC Act requires every indigent criminal defense system in Michigan to comply with
every standard that has been adopted by LARA; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is the indigent criminal defense system (“System”) for the 6th Circuit
Court and the four divisions of the 52nd District Court; and
WHEREAS Systems are legally required to submit a Compliance Plan and Cost Analysis (“Plan”)
annually to the MIDC, which explains the methods by which the System will comply with the approved
standards in the next fiscal year, and lists the amount of money the System requires to comply with
the approved standards; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners approved Oakland County’s FY 2023 Plan submission via
Miscellaneous Resolution #22-204 on June 7, 2022; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s FY 2023 Plan submission sought continued funding for several existing
positions, and increased funding for several new positions, as further outlined below; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s FY 2023 Plan submission sought to significantly change the way in
which indigent criminal defense services are provided by moving to a “hybrid” model, a component of
which is the creation of the first in-house public defender’s office in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the total amount of funding included in Oakland County’s FY 2023 Plan submission was
$16,322,771.12; and
WHEREAS of that total, Oakland County is required to contribute its statutorily mandated “local
share,” which amounts to $1,883,620.74 in FY 2023; and
WHEREAS the remainder of $14,439,150.38 is disbursed to Oakland County as a grant from the
State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the MIDC will approve Oakland County’s FY 2023 Compliance Plan and Cost Analysis at
its meeting on October 11, 2022.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners accepts
the FY 2023 MIDC Grant from the State of Michigan (LARA) in the amount of no less than
$14,439,150.38, for the period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to implement the classification changes as proposed in the attached
Schedule D.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that pursuant to the “Gosling Amendment,” MR #90004, if the level of
funding is reduced by the grantor agency a proportionate reduction in local maintenance of effort will
be authorized thereby reducing the total budget and service levels of the categorical program, unless
the County Department administratively responsible for the categorical program shall recommend a
reprioritization of funds within existing authorized resources to continue the grant program and
desired budget and service levels.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners is authorized to
execute the grant contract and that the Chairperson may approve any grant extensions or
amendments, within fifteen percent (15%) of the original award, which are consistent with the original

future commitment beyond FY 2023 and continuation of this program is contingent upon continued
future levels of grant funding.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the FY2023-25 budgets are amended, per the attached Schedule
A, to reflect grant funding in the amount of $14,439,150.38 from the MIDC and the required Oakland

PROPOSED FUNDING:
The FY23 Michigan Indigent Defense Commission (MIDC) Grant from the State of Michigan (LARA).
OVERVIEW:
The Michigan Indigent Defense Commission Act (“MIDC Act”), MCL 780.981, et. seq., gives the Michigan
Indigent Defense Commission (“MIDC”) the authority to propose minimum standards for the provision of
indigent criminal defense services. A proposed standard takes effect after it is adopted by the Department
of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (“LARA”). The MIDC Act requires every indigent criminal defense
system in Michigan to comply with every standard that has been adopted by LARA. Oakland County is the
indigent criminal defense system (“System”) for the 6th Circuit Court and the four divisions of the 52nd District
Court. Systems are legally required to submit a Compliance Plan and Cost Analysis (“Plan”) annually to
the MIDC, which explains the methods by which the System will comply with the approved standards in the
next fiscal year and lists the amount of money the System requires to comply with the approved standards.
The Board of Commissioners approved Oakland County’s FY2023 Plan submission in MR #22-204 on June
7, 2022. Oakland County’s FY2023 Plan submission sought continued funding for several existing
positions, and increased funding for several new positions, as further outlined in the MR. Oakland County’s
FY2023 Plan submission sought to significantly change the way in which indigent criminal defense services
are provided by moving to a “hybrid” model, a component of which is the creation of the first in-house public
defender’s office in Oakland County.
The total amount of funding included in Oakland County’s FY2023 Plan submission was $16,322,771.12.
Of that total, Oakland County is required to contribute its statutorily mandated “local share,” which amounts
to $1,883,620.74 in FY2023. The remainder of $14,439,150.38 is disbursed to Oakland County as a grant
from the State of Michigan. The MIDC will approve Oakland County’s FY2023 Compliance Plan and Cost
Analysis at its meeting on October 11, 2022.
COUNTY EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:Recommended as Requested.
