ITEM SUMMARY SHEET
COMMITTEE REPORT TO BOARD
Resolution #2025-4872
Motion to approve the grant application to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the
2025 Marine Safety Program in the amount of $670,401.
ITEM CATEGORY SPONSORED BY
Grant Penny Luebs
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Sheriff's Office is applying to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for Public Act 451
funding administered through the Marine Safety Grant Program to conduct Marine Safety activities.
The 2025 grant application funding request is $670,401; the program period for state funding is
January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 and the program period for federal funding is January
1, 2025 through September 30, 2025. There is no match requirement for federal funding and a 25%
match requirement for state funding, which will be met by Marine Safety Program expenses
budgeted in the Sheriff's Office General Fund.
This is the 50th year the Sheriff's Office has applied for Marine Safety grant funding. Last year's
award was $173,500.
POLICY ANALYSIS
Acceptance of this grant does not obligate the County to any future commitment and continuation of
this program is contingent upon continued future levels of grant funding.
No budget amendment is required at this time.
If awarded, funding can be used on any eligible marine safety item such as (1) law enforcement
wages and benefits and (2) contracted services, supplies, and materials. An example of law
enforcement wages and benefits charged to this grant would be the boating safety classes offered
to the public.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: No
