# October 27, 2026 BOC - Finance, Audit, Budget Committee

The Macomb County Board of Commissioners’ Finance, Audit, and Budget Committee met on October 27, 2026, to review department budgets. The committee received and filed the budget reviews on a 12–0 vote; the transcript does not show a vote approving the proposed budget amendments or capital projects. The Circuit Court reported that CTI won a bid in August 2026 for updated courtroom recording equipment, but the pilot and implementation were deferred because funding was unavailable; the court identified the upgrade as a 2027 goal. The courts also cited space needs, including a courtroom for an additional judge. The Friend of the Court described approximately $600,000 in planned hearing-room costs, with reimbursement expected from federal 4D funds and a medical-fund balance. The Prosecutor’s Office discussed a roughly $1 million third-floor remodel for security and usable space, with an outside contractor recommended.

Other budget matters included the Juvenile Justice Center’s recently approved food-services contract and a vendor change it described positively. The Prosecutor’s Office requested about $235,000 in amendments—approximately $65,000 in general-fund programs and the remainder in grant-funded programs—including increased expert-witness funding tied to anticipated Miller hearings, victim services, and security staffing. The office said grant funds would cover about 66% of the requested deputy position’s cost. These items were discussed during budget review; no related spending vote is recorded in the transcript.
