County board approves application for community corrections grant after program director answers funding questions

The Clare County Board of Commissioners voted to approve Resolution 26-10 authorizing the county to apply for continued grant funding for its community corrections program.

Commissioner Dale moved the resolution and introduced Michelle Campbell, the program director, who told the board the program is entirely grant-funded and that the grant covers administrative costs. Campbell offered to provide copies of the program's recent activity summary and the financial portions of the proposal for commissioners' review. When asked whether there is any local match required, she confirmed there is none for this grant.

After a brief period of questions from commissioners about program administration and budget detail, the board took a roll-call vote and approved the resolution. The clerk recorded affirmative responses from multiple commissioners and the motion carried.

The approval authorizes staff to submit the grant application to the appropriate state agency; Campbell left copies of program materials for commissioners. No additional county general-fund match was reported in the meeting record.
