The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners approved several items as part of their consent agenda at their Feb. 20 regular session, including: - Allowing the sheriff’s office to apply for the 2024 Marine Safety Grant through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to cover a percentage of the costs of the marine safety program. In 2023, the sheriff’s office was awarded $40,100 through the grant.
- A recognition agreement between the county, sheriff’s office, and Michigan Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council recognizing police lieutenants as a separate command bargaining unit for negotiations.
- A subscription amendment with the Traverse City-based computer consultant Safety Net increasing monthly costs by $2,200 due to changes in Information Technology infrastructure.
