The Leelanau County Family Court is seeking funding through the 2% Spring Cycle to support its summer activity program for youth. The program, which began in 2014 with the help of a 2% grant, requires new bicycles and a bike trailer due to the current fleet’s age and deteriorating condition. The total funding request will not exceed $18,000, which will cover the costs for 11 new bikes, a bike trailer, helmets, and a bike mounting kit for safe storage. The need for new equipment is further compounded by the loss of the previous storage area, now occupied by the Health Department.

The process for applying for the 2% Spring Cycle funding involves submitting a letter of intent by February 28, 2025, as outlined by Lauren Cypher, Executive Assistant at Leelanau County Administration. This letter should include a purpose statement, a needs statement, the intended amount of funding, and a draft project plan. The feasibility of the proposals will be reviewed by Finance and Administration, with the intent to apply presented to the Board of Commissioners (BOC) on March 11, 2025. Final approval to apply is set for March 18, 2025, with the full application and supporting documentation due by April 30, 2025.

The timeline for the 2% Spring Cycle applications continues with presentations to the BOC on May 13, 2025, and approval for submission on May 20, 2025. The final submission deadline is May 31, 2025. Lauren Cypher emphasized the importance of adhering to County Policy 8.03 and encouraged departments to plan their projects and proposals accordingly. Additionally, departments are reminded to complete any required reporting on previously received allocations using the attached Reporting Form.
