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 2026 grant application funding request is $913,853. The program period for state funding is
January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 and the program period for federal funding is January
1, 2026 through September 30, 2026. This is the 51st year of grant application. The Sheriff’s Office
was awarded $176,600 in grant funding last year. There is no federal funding match requirement,
but a 25% match is required for state funding, which will be met by Marine Safety Program
expenses budgeted in the Sheriff's Office General Fund. No budget amendment is necessary at this
time.
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.
FISCAL IMPACT: No Budget Amendment Needed
