RE:

Clinton County Prosecuting Attorney Update

______________________________________________________________________________________
Background
In November 2024, it was mutually agreed by both the Committee and the Clinton County Prosecutor’s
Office (CCPO) that periodic updates and attendance from CCPO at committee meetings would further
enhance the relationship and overall communication with the Committee about challenges, progress, and
successes experienced by CCPO.
Staffing
Assistant Prosecutors (APAs)
Presently, CCPO has 4 of 6 APA positions filled. Since the last update to the Committee in May of 2025,
CCPO was briefly able to reach APA capacity. However, this could not be sustained and CCPO continues
to search for qualified candidates who are passionate about public service and the duties (and demands) of
the role. For now, APAs have divided extra duties to maintain court coverage. While this creates significant
strain on workloads and some scheduling difficulties, the current staff has shown tremendous teamwork
and resilience in managing cases until the open positions can be filled.
Did You Know? CCPO is often tasked to handle non-criminal matters including assignments by the Circuit
Court to represent petitioners at personal protection order proceedings, show cause hearings on behalf of Animal
Control for dangerous animals, and formal hearings on civil infraction tickets.
1

New Hire - In November 2025, CCPO hired APA Samantha Totten, a former Clinton County
Prosecuting Attorney’s Association of Michigan (PAAM) intern, and later an independent full-time
intern in the office. Sam has been exceeding expectations covering the District Court docket
assigned to Judge Stevens and recently handled her first circuit court matter.
New Hire – On April 6, 2026, Lee McCallister began employment as CCPO’s investigator. With
decades of law enforcement/investigatory experience Lee will be a tremendous asset in assisting on
cases and trial preparation.
Karpel Statistics: Staff continues to learn the capabilities of capturing statistical data from Karpel,
CCPO’s case management software instituted in April of 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, the
following is a sample of available data:
Criminal cases issued: 279 (felony and misdemeanor)
Hot spots for criminal cases: Dewitt Twp (77), Bath Twp (40), Watertown Twp (26), City of St.
Johns (25), Eagle Twp (19).
CORE Training: In December 2025, CCPO presented 7 hours over two days to law enforcement
officers from every department in Clinton County as annual training. Topics were specific to local
trends and practices, including: requirements for warrant request submissions; investigating deaths
or injuries due to intoxicated drivers; levels of fleeing and eluding crimes and evidence to sustain
each level; investigating crimes with child victims or witnesses; testifying in court; CCPO resolution
of cases, and open communication between county partners on needs, frustrations, and successes.
CAPA Martinez Elected to State Bar of Michigan Criminal Law Advisory Board: In October
of 2025, CAPA Debra Martinez was elected to serve as an advisor to the State Bar on criminal
matters including proposed amendments to legislation/laws, revisions to jury instructions, and other
matters that impact prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys across the State of Michigan.
APA Ryan Madar Manages Two Circuit Court Dockets: APA Ryan Madar continues to balance
the demands of managing the dockets of both Judge Schlegel and Judge Barkman. Ryan has
represented the People in two felony trials and is scheduled for a third trial this month. Ryan has
shown a tremendous work ethic managing both dockets at the same time until CCPO becomes fully
staffed.
Victim Services
Along with their other duties ensuring victims receive their rights protected by the William Van
Regenmorter Crime Victim’s Rights Act, CCPO Victim Advocates Kasey Heckman and Becky Miller
continue to support victims by assistance with applications to Michigan’s Crime Victims Compensation
Fund (CVCF). The monetary awards assist to ease the burden of those impacted by crime. Since the last
update, Kasey and Becky have assisted victims to recoup approximately $60,000.00 in funds.
April 19-25, 2026, is National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. Becky and Kasey have designed and
developed paper placemats for use by local restaurants to spread awareness of help and resources those
who may be victims of crime in our communities. The design is attached to this report. Connections to
local restaurants who may be willing to support this endeavor with free paper placemats to use for the week
are appreciated!

Skill Development
CCPO continues to engage in ongoing legal education to grow in skill and experience and stay current to
learn how to better litigate, support victims, and work with our law enforcement partners in all types of
criminal cases:
September 23-24, 2025, Felony Trial Practice (PAAM): Aimed at prosecutors with district court
trial experience transitioning to circuit court practice and attorneys who currently practice in circuit
court with less than three years’ experience. Focused training on issues that arise more frequently in
felony trials including admission of inconsistent statements, impeachment and character evidence,
expert witnesses and Daubert hearings, and avoiding appellate error. Included a trial practice
component where skills are practiced and constructive criticism is provided by seasoned felony trial
prosecutors. Attendee: APA Ryan Madar
October 20-23, 2025, National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) Leadership Academy:
Some topics: effective communication (internal and external), defining leadership - strengthening
the future of prosecution, practical conflict resolution skills for leaders, secondary trauma and
leadership, and how to build (or rebuild) an office. Attendees: Prosecutor Tony Spagnuolo, CAPA
Debra Martinez.
November 12-14, 2025, Visual Trial School (PAAM): A review of case law and best practices as
well as ethics for litigation technology, use of technology in vehicular homicide cases, and
PowerPoint tricks and tips. Included video and audio preparation for courtroom presentation.
Attendees: Prosecutor Tony Spagnuolo, APA Ryan Madar.
January 13-15, 2026, NDAA 2026 Prosecuting Homicides Conference: Review of best practices
on homicide cases including case studies, use of technology in the courtroom, cold case
retrospectives, building a successful homicide case, voir dire, drug-related homicides, strangulation
homicides, and unintentional homicides. Attendees: CAPA Debra Martinez, DCPA Erin Housefield.
March 23-25, 2026, The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Investigation & Prosecution of
Abusive Head Trauma and Serious Physical Abuse in Children (PAAM): Case review of a
serious child victim physical abuse/abusive head trauma case from the beginning of the
investigation to the prosecution and presentation of evidence. Topics included investigation the
crime scene, interviewing suspects, interviewing, and presentation of testimony from child abuse
pediatricians and case investigators. Attendee team: CAPA Debra Martinez partnered with Det. Sgt.
Chris Crawford, Clinton County Sheriff’s Office.
Upcoming:
May 27-29, 2026, NDAA’s Cross Examination Course: Active skill development course,
application of analytical advocacy principles to structure cross-examinations, building questioning
sequences, cross-examining defense expert witnesses, techniques for maintaining control of difficult
or evasive witnesses. Attendee: APA Samantha Totten.

Courtroom and Community Developments
APAs and support staff work a multitude of cases and confer with many victims each week. Below are a
very small selection of developments, patterns, or sentencings over the last several months:
People v Monroe: After many months of complex work, Defendant was convicted of second-degree
murder, multiple counts of operating while intoxicated causing serious injury, and leaving the scene of a
fatal accident. A father of four and an EMT/firefighter were killed. Many others, including children, were
injured. Defendant was sentenced to 30-60 years in MDOC. The hard work of the Clinton County Sheriff’s
Office as lead investigators and multiple jurisdictions who assisted victims at the scene cannot be
overstated as the community continues to heal.
•
•

CAPA Debra Martinez and DCPA Erin Housefield received civilian commendations from
the Clinton County Sheriff at the 2025 annual awards ceremony for work on this case.
CAPA Debra Martinez fulfilled requests to present in multiple forums about the
successful prosecution and litigation of this case including to the Capital Area Traffic
Safety Network in December of 2025, and at PAAM’s Advanced Operating While
Intoxicated Training in February of 2026 to bring greater awareness to these crimes,
techniques for successful case presentation, victim advocacy, and community impact.

Crime Trend Alert: Fleeing & Eluding Cases – Youthful Offenders
For the past several months, CCPO has had a concerning number of cases involving youthful offenders age
21 or younger fleeing from law enforcement at high rates of speeds, oftentimes over 100 mph. CCPO
continues to evaluate and balance the safety of the community with the need for reformation and
understanding of the consequences of these actions with these young defendants. The risk posed to our
community, law enforcement, and the individual themselves is extremely dangerous.
People v Corey: Defendant was convicted of second-degree murder, possession of cocaine, and felony
firearm in the shooting death of his girlfriend in Dewitt Township. The defense argued accidental shooting,
but through the work of CCPO, including review of thousands of text messages (special thanks to Kasey
Heckman and Becky Miller CCPO Victim Advocates for the help) between the victims and substantive
pretrial motions, CCPO was able to secure the conviction, and Defendant was sentenced to 18-40 years in
MDOC with the support of the family of the victim. The conviction would not have been possible without
the good work of the Dewitt Township Police Department (OIC Sgt. Robert Stump) and the Clinton County
Sheriff’s Office detectives in the digital forensic unit.
People v VanMeter: Defendant was convicted of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the 3rd Degree (Victim 1315 years) as a habitual felony offender. The extremely brave young woman testified at preliminary hearing
to show Defendant (who was already a registered sex offender for similar conduct in another county)
continued predatory actions only 30 days after getting off probation for his prior offense. Due to her
testimony and fortitude, and seeing the writing on the wall, Defendant was convicted and sentenced to 8-22
½ years in MDOC with LIFETIME registration under the Sex Offender Registration Act.
4

People v Shultz: Defendant was convicted of Possession with Intent to Deliver Methamphetamine and
Fleeing and Eluding 3rd Degree as a habitual felony offender. Defendant was sentenced to 8-40 years in
MDOC due to the excellent work of DCPA Erin Housefield and law enforcement from the Clinton County
Sheriff’s Office.
People v Sharpe: Defendant was convicted of two (2) counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the 3rd Degree
(Victim 13-15 years). The young teenager was ready to proceed to trial against Defendant, who was her
stepbrother. As a result of her bravery and incredible digital forensic investigation by the Clinton County
Sheriff’s Office, Defendant was convicted and sentenced to 10-15 years in MDOC.
People v Mead: Defendant was convicted of Possession of Methamphetamine and three (3) counts of
Prohibited Person in Possession of a Firearm. Due to the work of DCPA Erin Housefield and members of
the Tri-County Metro Narcotics Team, Defendant was sentenced to 2-15 years in MDOC.
People v Griswold: Defendant was convicted of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the 2nd Degree (Victim under
13 years old) and Aggravated Production of Child Sexually Abusive Material. Defendant’s convictions
stem from sexual touching a toddler and making images of the abuse. Thanks to the incredible work of Det.
Sgt. Chris Crawford from the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office and the CCSO’s digital forensic unit, the
Defendant was sentenced to 5 yrs 10 months – 25 years in MDOC and LIFETIME registration under the
Sex Offender Registration Act.
People v Perkins: Defendant was convicted of two (2) counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the 2nd
Degree (Personal Injury) for assaulting his victim and was sentenced to 7 years 2 months – 15 months in
MDOC and registration under the Sex Offender Registration Act. Defendant was on probation at the time
of the offense in Eaton County.
Did you know? APAs serve as members of all four treatment court teams in Clinton County - Journey
Court (controlled substance abuse/trauma), Mental Health Court, Sobriety Court, and Veterans Court.

SUBJECT: Sheriff’s Office Space Use Agreement
DATE:

Grand Ledge Public Schools has space available in the old Wacousta Elementary School

written notice before the end of the Initial Term.
4. Rent. Lessee shall pay the District an annual rent of Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000)
(“Rent”), which amount is inclusive of Clinton County’s portion of utilities and

students, servants or other employees shall be borne by the Lessee.
The District will provide grounds maintenance, including snow removal and
d.
general cleaning services.
6. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason, with or
without cause, upon providing one hundred eighty (180) days’ written notice to the
other party. Thereafter, neither party will have any further obligation to the other nor
will either party be entitled to any damages from the other as a result of such
termination. Upon termination, Lessee shall quit and surrender the Leased Property,
and return same to the District in as good condition and repair as received, reasonable
wear and tear excepted, together with all alterations, additions, and improvements
which may have been made in, to, or on the Leased Property. Notwithstanding the
preceding, such termination shall not eliminate Lessee’s obligations under the terms of

the Agreement, including Lessee’s obligation to pay rent to the District prorated until
the effective date of termination.
7. Rules and Regulations. Lessee agrees to comply with all rules and regulations
applicable to school facilities, now in effect and promulgated by the District in the
future. The District reserves the right to make all further and reasonable rules and
regulations as in the District’s judgment may be necessary or desirable for the safety,
care, appearance and cleanliness of the Leased Property.
8. Licenses. Lessee hereby represents that its employees and agents have and will
maintain any and all licenses which may be required for the lawful carrying on of its
programming or business.
9. Insurance. During the term of this Agreement, Lessee will maintain public liability
insurance in the amount of not less than $2,000,000 aggregate and not less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence. “Grand Ledge Public Schools” will be listed as an
additional insured. The Lessee will provide the District with a certificate of liability
insurance upon execution of this Agreement. Such insurance will not be canceled or
materially reduced except after thirty (30) days’ written notice to the District.
10. Default. If any monthly rental payment due under this Agreement remains unpaid
for a period of fifteen (15) days, or if default shall be made by the Lessee in the keeping
of any other term, covenant, or condition herein, the District shall notify the Lessee of
such default in writing, addressed to the Lessee’s above-listed address and forwarded
by certified mail, return receipt requested. If such default is not remedied within fifteen
(15) days after receipt of said certified mail notice, the District shall have the right, at
its option, in addition to and not exclusive of any other remedy the District may have
by operation of law, without any further demand or notice, to re-enter the premises and
to again have and enjoy the same.
11. Equipment. Lessee may place equipment, materials, and supplies needed for
operation of its programs. Any equipment, materials, and supplies placed in the Leased
Property remains the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee at any time if
such furnishings may be removed without damage to the Leased Property.
12. Structural Changes. Lessee may not make any structural changes to the Leased
Property, either desired by Lessee or as required by law, unless it obtains the District’s
prior written approval. Unless otherwise agreed, any approved structural changes shall
be at Lessee’s sole cost and expense and without creating any liens on the Leased
Property. If, however, the District pays for structural changes to the Leased Property in

whole or in part, the District may charge Lessee an increased rental rate in order to
recover the costs expended. Should this Agreement terminate before the District has
recovered its full expenditure for the structural changes, whether by increased rental or
otherwise, Lessee will pay the District any remaining amount on or before the date of
termination.
13. Damage and Destruction. If the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed by fire,
flood, casualty, or structural defects such that it cannot be used for Lessee’s purposes,
then either Party may provide written notice to the other of this Agreement’s immediate
termination. Lessee’s rental payments shall abate on the date of the written notice (after
the damage or destruction has occurred) and, if the District elects at its discretion to
make repairs and if Lessee wishes to resume the Agreement for the remaining term,
rent shall abate until repairs are completed. Any rent paid by Lessee to the District in
advance will be refunded on a prorated basis commensurate with the time the Leased
Property is unusable.
14. Force Majeure. Either Party may be excused from performance under this
Agreement to the extent that the performance of such act or acts are delayed, suspended,
or rendered infeasible by an act of God, fire, flood, explosion, collapse of structures,
riot, war, mandated governmental restrictions, pandemic, or any cause beyond the
reasonable control of such Party; provided, however, that the Party asserting the excuse
must first provide written notice to the other Party of the occurrence causing such delay
or infeasibility.
15. Access. The District reserves the right to use the Leased Property for other uses
that do not interfere with the Lessee’s program.
16. Taxes and Special Assessment.
The Parties acknowledge that Lessor is a taxexempt entity and, accordingly, any taxes or special assessments related to the Property
due to Lessee’s use of same, if any, will be the responsibility of Lessee.
17. Assignment of Subletting. The Parties shall not assign, transfer, or sublease this
Agreement under any circumstance. This provision shall not be construed, however, to
prevent the District from contracting with persons or agencies on the District’s
remaining property on site.
18. Civil Rights. Neither Party shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for
employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions or privileges of employment,
a matter directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, color, religion,
national origin, age, sex, height, weight or marital status, pursuant to 1976 PA 453,

Section 209. The Parties shall also comply with the provisions of the Michigan Persons
with Disabilities Civil Rights Act, 1976 PA 220, and Section 504 of the Federal
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, PL 93-112, 87 Stat, 394, which states that no persons by
reason of their disability shall be excluded from participation, be denied the benefits of
or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial
assistance. Further, the Parties shall comply with all other Federal, State or local laws,
regulations thereto, as they may apply to the performance of this Agreement.
19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
Parties and supersedes any prior or concurrent agreements, written or oral, regarding
its subject matter. This Agreement may only be modified, in writing, when executed
by both Parties, and this provision can only be waived if so signed by both Parties.
20. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such a way as to be effective and valid under the laws of the State of
Michigan. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be contrary to law by a
court of competent jurisdiction, such invalid provision(s) shall be severed from this
instrument but the remaining terms and covenants contained herein shall not be
affected.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterpart originals, each of
which when duly executed and delivered shall constitute a single instrument. This
Agreement may be executed in person, by facsimile, or by electronic PDF signatures

During the 2026 budget process, the Sheriffs Office submitted a request to purchase ten (10)
Flock Cameras. This request was reviewed at the September 18, 2025 Ways and Means
Committee meeting, where there was no opposition expressed regarding the proposed purchase.
However no action was taken to include the project in the 2026 Budget.
The Sheriffs Office is requesting a budget amendment to support this project, to enhance
investigative capabilities.
The total cost to purchase and install the ten (10) cameras is $80,700. This cost is structured
over two years, with $45,700 required in the first year (2026) and $35,000 in the second year.
Following installation, there will be an ongoing annual maintenance fee of$35,000 to supp01t
the system.

Recommended Action:

Approve an initial budget expenditure of$45,700 in 2026 for the purchase and installation often
(10) Flock Cameras.

COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM
DATE OF
MEETING: 4-14-26

ESTIMATE OF
TIME NEEDED: 5 min

NUMBER OF
ATTACHMENTS: 7

REQUESTOR:
Equalization Director

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE ISSUE THE COMMITTEE IS BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER:
The Ways and Means Committee, acting as the Equalization Committee, is required by statute, in April
each year, to recommend to the Clinton County Board of Commissioners the values to be adopted as Clinton
County Equalized Value. (MCL 211.34) The Clinton County Equalization Department annually provides
this recommendation to the Committee that is based on the culmination of the Equalization Studies in the
previous year projecting changes in True Cash Value and the Equalization Department analysis of each
units’ values for proper Equalization. The Equalization Department creates a county-wide database each
year after the local March Boards of Review are closed. The 2026 draft values are attached. The
Equalization Report is in process and anticipated to be published May 2026.
Assessed Value increased 8.10% to $6,325,367,362. The increase reflects the anticipated increase in market
value identified from the Equalization Studies on existing properties and new value from new construction
and/or formerly exempt properties returning to the roll inclusive of Real and Personal Properties.
Taxable Value increased 4.60% to $4,207,649,184. The increase in taxable value comes from the 2.7%
CPI where the 2026 assessed value was greater than the 2025 taxable value on properties not sold in 2025.
The balance of the increase is realized from the uncapping of taxable values for properties that sold in 2025
from new construction and formerly exempt property returning to the roll. Projected revenue excluding
Renaissance Zone and Disabled Verterans Exemptions.
Clinton County will be levying the millage rate of 5.7288 mills (after millage rollback) and the 911 millage
rate of 0.8280 mills (after millage rollback). The Tentative Potential Property Tax Revenue for Clinton
County in 2026 on the ad valorem tax roll is derived by the following table:

2026 Millage Reduction Fraction Computation
This form is issued under authority of Sections 211.34d and 211.150, M.C.L. Filing of this from is mandatory. Failure to file is punishable under Section 211.119, M.C.L.
INSTRUCTIONS: This form is to be completed by the county equalization director for all taxing jurisdictions which levy a property tax in his/her county. This form is to be filed with each unit of government and with the State Tax
Commision. Also provide a copy of this form to the equalization director of each county which shares an intercounty taxing jurisdiction. On this initial computation form, the 2026 millage reduction fraction (MRF) can be calculated
only for taxing jurisdictions located exclusively within a single county. This will include the county unit as well as all townships and nearly every city and village. The MRF for a school district which is not fractional with any other
county can also be calculated and listed on the form. For any taxing jurisdiction which extends into one or more other counties, leave the MRF column blank and enter the notation "IC" for intercounty.

Development Project Agreement

constructed under this Agreement, shall be wholly or partially conveyed, either in fee, easement
or otherwise, or leased for a term of years or for any other period, nor shall there be any whole
or partial transfer of the lease title, ownership, or right of maintenance or control by the
GRANTEE except with the written approval and consent of the DEPARTMENT. The GRANTEE
shall regulate the use of the project area to the satisfaction of the DEPARTMENT .
16. The assistance provided to the GRANTEE as a result of this Agreement is intended to have a
lasting effect on the supply of recreation, scenic beauty sites, and recreation facilities beyond
the financial contribution alone and commits the project area to Michigan’s recreation estate for
the useful life of the project facilities, therefore:
a. the GRANTEE agrees that, during the life of the facilities, the project area or any portion
thereof will not be converted to other than public recreation use without prior written approval
by the DEPARTMENT and implementation of mitigation approved by the DEPARTMENT,
including but not limited to replacement with land and/or project facilities of similar
recreation usefulness and fair market value.

market value, and of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location. The DEPARTMENT shall

replacement by GRANTEE of other recreation properties and project facilities of equal or
greater fair market value and of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location. Such
replacement land shall be subject to all the provisions of this Agreement .
18. The GRANTEE acknowledges that:
a. the GRANTEE has examined the project area and has found the property safe for public use
or actions will be taken by the GRANTEE before beginning the project to assure safe use of
the property by the public, and
b. the GRANTEE is solely responsible for development, operation, and maintenance of the
project area and project facilities, and that responsibility for actions taken to develop,
operate, or maintain the property is solely that of the GRANTEE, and
c. the DEPARTMENT'S involvement in the premises is limited solely to the making of a grant
to assist the GRANTEE in developing project site.
19. The GRANTEE assures the DEPARTMENT that the proposed State-assisted action will not

RP25-0005

Page 7 of 11

R1956-4 (Revised 09/10/2025)

MICHIGAN RECREATION PASSPORT GRANT PROGRAM
Development Project Agreement

not required.
20. The GRANTEE hereby acknowledges that this Agreement does not require the State of
Michigan to issue any permit required by law to construct the recreational project that is the
subject of this Agreement. Such permits include, but are not limited to, permits to fill or
otherwise occupy a floodplain, and permits required under Parts 301 and 303 of the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts 451 of 1994, as
amended. It is the sole responsibility of the GRANTEE to determine what permits are required
for the project, secure the needed permits and remain in compliance with such permits.
21. Before the DEPARTMENT will approve plans, specifications, or bid documents; or give written
approval to the GRANTEE to advertise, seek quotes, or incur costs for this project, the
GRANTEE must provide documentation to the DEPARTMENT that indicates either:
a. it is reasonable for the GRANTEE to conclude, based on the advice of an environmental
consultant, as appropriate, that no portion of the project area is a facility as defined in Part
201 of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the
Public Acts of 1994, as amended;
or
b. if any portion of the project area is a facility, documentation that Department of
Environmental, Great Lakes and Energy-approved response actions have been or will be
taken to make the site safe for its intended use within the project period, and that
implementation and long-term maintenance of response actions will not hinder public
recreation use and/or the resource protection values of the project area.
22. If the DEPARTMENT determines that, based on contamination, the project area will not be
made safe for the planned recreation use within the project period, or another date established
by the DEPARTMENT in writing, or if the DEPARTMENT determines that the presence of
contamination will reduce the overall usefulness of the property for public recreation and
resource protection, the grant may be cancelled by the DEPARTMENT with no reimbursement
made to the GRANTEE.
23. The GRANTEE shall acquire and maintain insurance which will protect the GRANTEE from
claims which may arise out of or result from the GRANTEE’S operations under this Agreement ,
whether performed by the GRANTEE, a subcontractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed
by the GRANTEE, or anyone for whose acts may hold them liable. Such insurance shall be with
companies authorized to do business in the State of Michigan in such amounts and against
such risks as are ordinarily carried by similar entities, including but not limited to public liability
insurance, worker’s compensation insurance or a program of self-insurance complying with the
requirements of Michigan law. The GRANTEE shall provide evidence of such insurance to the
DEPARTMENT at its request.
24. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation upon the DEPARTMENT
to operate, maintain or provide funding for the operation and/or maintenance of any recreational
facilities in the project area.

RP25-0005

MICHIGAN RECREATION PASSPORT GRANT PROGRAM
Development Project Agreement

25. The GRANTEE hereby represents that it will defend any suit brought against either party which
involves title, ownership, or any other rights, whether specific or general rights, including
appurtenant riparian rights, to and in the project area of any lands connected with or affected by
this project.
26. The GRANTEE is responsible for the use and occupancy of the premises, the project area and
the facilities thereon. The GRANTEE is responsible for the safety of all individuals who are
invitees or licensees of the premises. The GRANTEE will defend all claims resulting from the
use and occupancy of the premises, the project area and the facilities thereon. The
DEPARTMENT is not responsible for the use and occupancy of the premises, the project area
and the facilities thereon.
27. Failure by the GRANTEE to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute
a material breach of this Agreement.
28. Upon breach of the Agreement by the GRANTEE, the DEPARTMENT may, in addition to any
other remedy provided by law,:
a. terminate this Agreement; and/or
b. withhold and/or cancel future payments to the GRANTEE on any or all current recreation
grant projects until the violation is resolved to the satisfaction of the DEPARTMENT ; and/or
c. withhold action on all pending and future grant applications submitted by the GRANTEE
under the RPGP, Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, and Land and Water
Conservation Fund; and/or
d. require repayment of grant funds already paid to GRANTEE.
e. require specific performance of the Agreement.
29. This Agreement may be canceled by the DEPARTMENT, upon 30 days written notice, due to
Executive Order, budgetary reduction, other lack of funding; upon request by the GRANTEE; or
upon mutual Agreement by the DEPARTMENT and GRANTEE. The DEPARTMENT may honor
requests for just and equitable compensation to the GRANTEE for all satisfactory and eligible
work completed under this Agreement up until 30 days after written notice, upon which time all
outstanding reports and documents are due to the DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT will
no longer be liable to pay the GRANTEE for any further charges to the grant.
30. The GRANTEE agrees that the benefit to be derived by the State of Michigan from the full
compliance by the GRANTEE with the terms of this Agreement is the preservation, protection
and the net increase in the quality of public recreation facilities and resources which are
available to the people of the State and of the United States and such benefit exceeds to an
immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the State of
Michigan by way of assistance under the terms of this Agreement. The GRANTEE agrees that
after final reimbursement has been made to the GRANTEE, repayment by the GRANTEE of
grant funds received would be inadequate compensation to the State for any breach of this
Agreement. The GRANTEE further agrees therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event
RP25-0005

Page 9 of 11

R1956-4 (Revised 09/10/2025)

MICHIGAN RECREATION PASSPORT GRANT PROGRAM
Development Project Agreement

of a breach by the GRANTEE of this Agreement after final reimbursement has been made shall
be the specific performance of this Agreement.
31. Prior to the completion of the project facilities, the GRANTEE shall return all grant money if the
project area or project facilities are not constructed, operated or used in accordance with this
Agreement.
32. The GRANTEE agrees not to discriminate against an employee or applicant for employment
with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or a matter directly
or indirectly related to employment, because of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex,
sexual orientation, height, weight, marital status, partisan considerations, or a disability or
genetic information that is unrelated to the person’s ability to perform the duties of a particular
job or position. The GRANTEE further agrees that any subcontract shall contain
non-discrimination provisions which are not less stringent than this provision and binding upon
any and all subcontractors. A breach of this covenant shall be regarded as a material breach of
this Agreement.
33. The DEPARTMENT shall terminate and recover grant funds paid if the GRANTEE or any
subcontractor, manufacturer, or supplier of the GRANTEE appears in the register compiled by
the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth pursuant to Public Act No . 278 of
1980.
34. The GRANTEE agrees to assist DEPARTMENT personnel in promotion of the Recreation
Passport Program by distributing marketing materials provided by the DEPARTMENT.
35. The GRANTEE may not assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement without prior written
authorization of the DEPARTMENT.
36. The rights of the DEPARTMENT under this Agreement shall continue for the anticipated life of
the project facilities as stated in Section 7(d).

If this Agreement is approved by Resolution, a true copy must be attached to this Agreement. A sample

General Information

The Clinton County Jail is located at 1347 E. Townsend Rd., St. Johns, MI 48879 and houses all
Clinton County Sheriff’s Office Correctional, Uniformed Services, Detective Bureau,
Administrative, and associated support operations. The facility was constructed in 1991, with a
major renovation and addition in 2004. The facility is approximately 48,350 square feet, not
including mechanical penthouses, and has an inmate housing capacity of 236.
Many of the facility’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and security systems are at or beyond their
expected useful life.
Some areas of the facility continue to adequately support current operations while other areas no
longer adequately and safely support the scope of current operations.
The County intends to create a project team including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Sheriff
Undersheriff
Sheriff’s Office Captain/Jail Administrator
County Administrator/Controller
Deputy County Administrator
County Facility and Fleet Services Director

County Commissioner TBD

A separate RFP has been issued by the County for Architectural and Engineering services to
complete the following scope(highlighted yellow):

•

Schematic design concept 1: Satisfy the new program within the existing facility footprint, without
reducing inmate bad capacity.
Schematic design concept 2: Satisfy the new program with a combination of renovation and
addition.

Validate recent architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP), and security system conditions
assessments and update as needed.
For each schematic design concept, develop concept construction phasing strategy prioritizing minimizing
disruption to ongoing facility operations. Provide concept plan and cost estimate for temporary off-site
inmate housing if necessary per the construction phasing strategy.
For each schematic design concept, engage multiple Construction Managers with recent correctional facility
construction experience to develop construction cost estimates taking into account the schematic design,
overall updates to the existing facility (MEP, security system, etc.) that will be required to support the project,
construction phasing strategy, and any costs expected to support ongoing operations during all phases of
construction.
Provide one in person progress update presentation to the Clinton County Ways and Means or Infrastructure
Committee.
Provide final written report.
Provide one final in person presentation to the Clinton County Ways and Means Committee.

The County seeks an Owner’s Representative to act as an experienced advisor to the County,
protect County interests, help organize and validate information needed for decision-making, and
support a disciplined project management process. The Owner’s Representative is expected to
supplement County staff capacity, not replace County decision-making authority.
The Owner’s Representative will serve as the County’s professional advisor and project
management support resource. The Owner’s Representative shall be prepared to:
• Attend all meetings between County project team and A/E consultant
• Organize information and action items
• Facilitate meetings and decision tracking
• Review work products for completeness and alignment with County goals
• Help identify risks, assumptions, and unresolved issues

and schematic design development phase, with the option to continue the engagement into
procurement, design, construction, and closeout if the project advances and funding is approved.
The County reserves the right to award the work in phases, negotiate scope by phase, or
terminate at the conclusion of the programming and schematic design phase if the project does
not proceed.

Information below is from a letter dated February 7, 2024 from consultant to Eagle Township:
Subject: Proposed Contract Addendum Regarding Township Board, Planning Commission, and ZBA Meetings.
Dear Board Members,
In our current contract with the Township, formal Board and Commission meetings (Township Board, Planning Commission, and Zoning Board of
Appeals) are treated as follows:
1) The $23,000 flat fee for the Master Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Zoning Setup includes:
a. 6 Planning Commission Meetings
b. 4 Township Board Meetings
c. 1 Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting
2) After those initial meetings, McKenna's attendance at Board and Commission meetings is to be invoiced hourly, including travel time.
So far, McKenna has attended the following Board and Commission meetings since the approval of our contract:
• December 8 Joint Township Board/Planning Commission Meeting
• December 13 Planning Commission Meeting
• December 21 Township Board Meeting
• January 9 Planning Commission Meeting
• January 18 Township Board Meeting
McKenna attendance at the following meetings will be required, at minimum, to complete the Master Plan and Permanent Zoning Ordinance. All of the
following meetings were included in our original proposed schedule.
• January 30 Planning Commission Meeting
• February 16 Planning Commission Meeting
• March 26 Planning Commission Meeting
• April 30 Planning Commission Meeting
• May 16 Township Board Meeting
• July 30 Planning Commission Meeting
• August 15 Township Board Meeting
The meetings listed would bring our attendance to 8 Planning Commission meetings (including the Joint Meeting).
Further, the Township Board has instructed McKenna to include meeting costs in the Zoning Escrow Fee Schedule. We have included those costs, at
$500 per meeting, in the draft fee schedule provided to the Planning Commission for recommendation to the Township Board.
Therefore, we propose the following addendum to our contract :
1) McKenna shall attend Township Board, Planning Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals meetings as necessary to provide recommendations to
those bodies on pending zoning applications, at the flat rate of $500 per meeting. McKenna's attendance at these meetings shall be compensated
out of the applicant escrow account.
2) The Township Supervisor and Board-Planning Commission Liaison may authorize McKenna to attend additional Township Board, Planning
Commission, and/or Zoning Board of Appeals meetings, at the flat rate of $500 per meeting.

Five-Year Community Comprehensive Plan

April 14, 2026

Per the Michigan Planning Enabling Act of 2008 (MCL 125.3845(2), the Planning Commission
has reviewed the current County Comprehensive Plan (Master Plan). At the April 9, 2026
meeting, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the Ways & Means
Committee to move forward on a complete re-write of the current Comprehensive Plan, as
substantial changes are needed.
The 2026 Major CIP budget includes $75,000 for this project. County Administration is
requesting approval to develop and send out a Request For Proposals for a new comprehensive
plan.
Suggested Action:
For the Ways & Means Committee to recommend to the Board of Commissioners to direct County
Administration to draft and publicly post a Request For Proposals for a new Comprehensive Plan

MEMORANDUM

To:
From:

Planning Commissioners
Lynn Wilson, (Interim) Director of Planning & Zoning
Planning and Zoning Department
Subject: 5-Year Master Plan Review
Date :
March 30th, 2026
Information related to the Michigan Planning Enabling Act and the requirement of
the Planning Commission to review the Master Plan (also called a Comprehensive
Plan), was provided in the March Planning Commission packet. The cover memo is
provided again here again. If you wish to have more of the March material
reprinted, let us know.
As a reminder, the Planning Commission in reviewing the adopted Master Plan
every five yea rs must determine one of the following:
• No change has occurred or the plan is fine and therefore the plan may
stand as adopted.
• Some amendments are required because of new or updated information
and therefore the plan should be amended.
• There are substantial changes in the community and therefore the plan
should be rewritten .

To: Planning Commissioners
From: Lynn Wilson, Planning & Zoning Director (Interim)
Date: March 9, 2026
Re: Planning Commission 5-Year Master Plan Review/ New Business Agenda Item D
In preparation for the Planning Commission meeting on March 12, 2026, please review the 2022
Comprehensive Plan on the county's website: https://www.clintoncounty.org/DocumentCenterNiew/7888/2022-Comp-Plan-Update FINAL. If you would like to
have a paper copy available at the meeting (or in advance of the meeting), please email the
general email below to make the request. The terms "Master Plan" and "Comprehensive Plan"
are interchangeable.
Also, please review the attached Checklist #1 H: The Five-Year Plan Review developed by the
Michigan State University Extension Land Use Series and most recently revised on March 19,
2025. The document walks through considerations for the Planning Commission in reviewing
the adopted Master Plan every five years to determine one of the following :
□ No change has occurred or the plan is fine and therefore the plan may stand as adopted .
□ Some amendments are requ ired because of new or updated information and therefore
the plan should be amended.
□ There are substantial changes in the community and therefore the plan should be
rewritten.
Also attached is Section 33 of the Michigan Planning Enabling Act (MPEA) Act 33 of 2008 as
amended. Th is is the legal basis for the checklist.
The outcome of the review must be.recorded in the meeting minutes before proceeding. There
may be no outcome/decision at the March Planning Commission meeting. It may simply be a
discussion of the process and a decision to continue the conversation at the April Planning
Commission meeting.
The Board of County Commissioners has allocated money in the 2026 budget for the purpose of
hiring a consultant to update the Master Plan if that is the direction of the Planning Commission.
Since the funding has already been allocated, the Planning Commission may direct the County
Administrator to proceed with next steps to select a consultant to update or to rewrite the Zoning
Ordinance.

Overall, the 2026 general fund continues to be on target for the approved budget. The Courts
and the Register of Deeds revenues remain solid regarding 2026 budget projections.
Property tax and state revenue sharing continue to be the two main sources of revenue in the
general fund. At the end of the 1st Quarter expenditures are trending as expected and consistent
with historical patterns. No obvious areas of concern in relation to approved budget at this time.
Administration continues its on-going budget monitoring with Department Heads and Elected
Officials and acknowledges their diligence in prudent fiscal management and responsibility.
Clinton County remains in sound financial condition. By anticipating areas of the budget that are
subject to volatility and using cautious estimates to maintain overall stability, the priority of
delivering consistent, high-quality services to the residents and businesses of the county
continues to be met.
Adjustments:
There are no budget adjustments for the 1st quarter.
Suggested Action: No action required.

Clinton County Commissioners and Sheriff Dush ,
I am writing this letter in support of the proposed partnership between Grand Ledge Public
Schools (GLPS) and Clinton County to enter into a lease agreement to provide space on the
Wacousta Elementary School campus for a Clinton County Sheriff Department outpost. In our
strategic plan , one of our belief statements is "We believe in partnerships between the family,
community, and education stakeholders for the success of GLPS." This proposed arrangement
reflects that belief in a practical and meaningful way.
GLPS operates in three different counties across multiple communities, and we value the
relationships we have built with our first responders in all these areas. As our only facility in
Clinton County, Wacousta Elementary relies on the Sheriff's Office to respond to emergencies.
School safety is of the utmost importance to our staff and families, and Sheriff Dush and his
Deputies understand this and provide tremendous support whenever we need it. Clinton County
Deputies are regularly a part of our school safety drills, respond when we call, and engage with
our leaders, staff, families, and students. The proposed outpost in the old building will serve to
further solidify and enhance this already strong relationship, giving Deputies a home base in the
southern end of the county. This reality, in turn , will better serve all Watertown Township
residents , as it will allow Deputies to remain in their service area for longer stretches during their
shifts, thereby creating opportunities for them to efficiently and effectively focus on serving their
community instead of spending additional time in transit.
I grew up in Wacousta, I have a child and nieces and nephews who attend Wacousta
Elementary, and my wife is a teacher in the building. I know the community, and I know how
much a Clinton County Sheriff's Office outpost on Wacousta Elementary's campus will benefit
the school, the district, and the community as a whole. I am excited that under Sheriff Dush's
leadership, the Clinton County Sheriff's Office recognizes it as well. Thank you for your
consideration of this partnership and the value you place on the safety of our school and
community. As always, I am #proudtobeacomet!
Sincerely,

William A. Barnes, Ed.D.

SUBJECT: Letter of Support for lten 4A- Sheriff's Office Space Use Agreement (Wacousta Elementary)

Sue Biergans
Treasurer
Chad Cooley
Trustee

To the Members of the Ways and Means Committee,

On behalf of the Watertown Township community, I am writing to express support for the proposed
Space Use Agreement between Clinton County and Grand Ledge Public Schools. As some of you may be
aware, Watertown Township was in a 3-year process of negotiating a purchase with -Grand Ledge Schools

Todd Hufnagel
Trustee

to relocate the township hall to this site and discussions were ongoing to have space for the Clinton
County Sherriff's Department in the building. These discussions hit a stronger tone after the two very
public tragedy's that happened in the township less than a year apart. Did you know that it is

Holly Madill
Trustee

approximately 27 miles from the Clinton County Sherriff's Office to the southwest border of the county?
After experiencing the lack of space for the Sherriff to operate in the southern portion of the county
during those horrific events, the township strongly urges the Committee to authorize the lease of

Ronald Overton
Trustee

classroom space at the former Wacousta Elementary School to establish a satellite workspace for the
Clinton County Sheriff's Office road patrol personnel.

Jennifer Tubbs
Manager

As a community that values both safety and fiscal responsibility, we believe this proposal is an ideal
solution for our not only the township residents but would provide service space to the southern portion
of the county. This satellite office will provide several key benefits to Watertown Township and the
southern municipalities.

•

Local Security Presence: Placing a dedicated sub-station within the Wacousta building ensures
that deputies remain embedded in the southern communities, fostering stronger relationships
between law enforcement and the residents they protect.

•

Operational Efficiency: This workspace allows road patrol personnel to remain in the field more
effectively, reducing the need for long trips back to the main office for administrative tasks and
ensuring more patrol time is spent on our local roads.

•

Fiscally Sound Partnership: At an annual cost of $6,000, this agreement is a remarkably costeffective way to enhance public safety services without the burden of new construction or high
overhead costs.

Due to the .sheer size of the building, the township was unable to afford the renovation of
the former Wacousta Community School. The Grand Ledge School District moving forward
with this Community Center project is an asset for Clinton County.

This as a "win-win" for all parties involved. It revitalizes the use of a local landmark; while
providing our deputies with the resources they need to serve the southwest side of the
county efficiently.

We appreciate the leadership of the County Administrato r and the Sheriff's Office in
bringing this forward . The township respectfully request that the Ways and Means
Committee support this lease agreement.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Tubbs
Watertown Township Manager

FROM:

Donna Graham - Greenbush Township

RE:

Appointment of Open Planning Commission Position effective May 1, 2026

I have not seen a posting for the position held by Maggie Sayles, whose current term expires on May 1, 2026;
however, I have heard rumors that a few members of this Board may not recommend continuation of her on
the Planning Commission. You know me by now, if I hear a rumor, I will bring it forward. Hopefully this is not
true. But, just in case, I'd like to review her credentials for consideration and submit my support in
recommending her for another 3-year term on the Planning Commission.
I know Maggie has submitted a cover letter and resume indicating her interest in remaining on the Planning
Commission. I hope everyone has had an opportunity to review her credentials, but just in case, let me restate
important factors why I support and believe she has demonstrated the skills, knowledge and experience to
continue in this position.

~f
x;o

Maggie has demonstrated great leadership and collaborative skills in addressing critical issues brought before
the Planning Commission.
~

fr~;;

1. Maggie has been voted twice by her peers as Chair of the Planning Commission.
2. Maggie was instrumental in challenging the developer who wanted an extension on a new sol r project
in Greenbush Township and caught them in lies, resulting in denial of their extension request.-. Maggie
was an essential member of the PC during development of the extensive solar/wind/battery
ordinances, demonstrating excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Not to mention all the
other issues that have come before the PC.
3. Maggie represents a couple of sectors spelled out in the Michigan Enabling Act for township
representation including: education, township planning commission, township trustee, as well as
leadership roles in these sectors.
4. Maggie encourages diversity of opinion; she researches issues and always comes prepared. She is
respectful of all opinions.
5. Maggie is very familiar with government regulations due to her past experiences and is able to read
and interpret law and write common sense policy.
6. Maggie has lived in Clinton County for 31 years and wants to continue serving this community.
7. Lastly, the County Master Plan is slated for a complete revision. This is a critical project needing people
with experience and knowledge of the !Q general law townsh,l&s covered under the Master Plan. We
currently have 2 new members who will need a learning curve. Maggie is a natural to lead this
project. Can we afford to have a third new member at this time?
I've presented a brief overview of what Maggie brings to this position and to Clinton County. If you can
present a candidate more qualified for this position, I would like to review their credentials.
Thank you for allowing me to speak.

April 16, 2026
Letter of support to Re-Appoint Margaret Sayles to the Planning Commission,
renewing her term to May 1, 2029 (3 years)

To the Clinton County Commissioners:
I want to show my support for Maggie Sayles to be re-appointed to the Clinton County Planning Commission.
In a time of uncertainty last Fall, Maggie stepped forward to fill the role of Planning Chairperson. Before that, she
had done an exemplary job on the Planning Commission as Vice-Chairperson.
I first met Maggie when she was on the Citizens Advisory Committee for Renewable Energy. Maggie was fair and
creative in leading this committee as its Chair, which was no easy task.
Maggie always does her research for the requests that come to the Planning Commission and asks salient
questions of the applicants. She takes the role seriously. With her professional background and community
responsibilities on various boards, she will be an asset to the upcoming Master Plan Process to provide
continuity for the Townships.
Thank you in advance for Re-appointing Maggie Sayles to the Planning Commission.

Sincerely,

Theresa Owen
Greenbush Township resident
