FROM: COURTS & PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE -- 2.2 OCTOBER 16, 2001
Your committee has considered communication no. 10-16-10 from
Prosecutor Michael Thomas asking to accept an additional grant
from the Michigan Department of Community Health in the amount of
$53,000 for the Victims' Rights Unit to fund a new position of
Victims' Advocate.
Prosecutor Thomas informed us the Victims' Rights Unit currently
receives approximately $92,000 annually to fund two staff
positions, a Victims' Right Coordinator and a Victims' Rights
Clerk. Duties of the new position will involve getting crime
victims to Court and working with the Sheriff Department on victim
notification. The total grant of $145,400 covers the period
October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002 and no matching dollars
are required.
We recommend approval for the Prosecutor's Office to accept the
grant to fund a new position of Victim's Advocate, and that it be
referred to the Labor Relations Subcommittee for factoring
evaluation. We further recommend the proper County Officials be
authorized and directed to sign the necessary documents on behalf
of the County, subject to review by the Controller as to substance
and Counsel as to legal form, and to amend the budget and staff
complement in accordance with County Policy and Procedure.
