The Marshall County Council members considered several grant requests when they met last week.
Christie Johnson from Marshall County Superior Court No. 3 asked to apply for a grant through Indiana Office of Court Services for the Drug Court. The grant funds would help pay for the public defender. The grant amount would be for $8,000.
Marshall County Chief Probation Officer James Bendy asked to apply for a Judicial Services grant. The grant would pay for a person who manages Pre-Trial Services and another for Recovery Services, both part-time positions. The money would also be used to pay for public speakers. The grant would be in the amount of $60,000.
Marshall County Health Administrator Faith Freed asked to apply for the Local Health Trust Account grant that supports the salaries of the health educator and emergency preparedness coordinator and a portion of Social Security at $20,976.70. She also asked to apply for the Local Health Maintenance grant which helps support the salaries of the food inspector and the health educator in the amount of $33,139.
The council members unanimously approved the requests as presented.
The same grant requests were approved by the Marshall County Commissioners during their meeting earlier this month.
