Tyler Technologies contract

The committee recommended approval of a three‑year renewal contract for records management software with Tyler Technologies, presented by Brian Burdack, who identified himself to the panel. Burdack said the renewal covers both vital records and Register of Deeds systems and that the vendor agreed to renew at the same cost the county had paid over the prior five years after negotiations. He said the majority of the contract is paid through the Register of Deeds technology fund, noting a $47,000 annual contribution for the vital records portion. The contract amount shown in the meeting materials was $828,249 for the three‑year term. The committee voted to recommend the contract to the full board; the motion carried 12–0 at the committee.

Juvenile detention intergovernmental agreement

The committee received an intergovernmental contract with St. Clair County for juvenile detention services. The agreement was described as having no cost to Macomb County. Committee members asked that Miss Westfall, director of juvenile justice services, appear before the full board to explain details; commissioners moved the item to the full board for consideration. The motion passed 12–0 in committee.

Specialty court treatment contract (HEART)

Court Services Director Christina Wolfield presented a sole‑bid contract award to Health Equity Recovery Technologies LLC (referred to in materials as HEART) for outpatient substance use and mental health services supporting multiple specialty court programs. Wolfield said the contract is funded entirely with grant dollars that the county administers through five different specialty court grants and that the vendor was the lone bidder in the RFP process. She said the contract will be used primarily by the sobriety treatment court but is available to other problem‑solving courts including drug court, mental health court, veterans court and a swift‑response supervision program.

Wolfield described typical program capacities: sobriety treatment court is budgeted for roughly 25 participants (up to 30 if funds permit); drug court up to 50; mental health court and veterans court about 25–30 each; and a sanctions/probation program 25–30. She said the sobriety court requires at least one treatment team member to be present at staffing and court sessions and that the county requested on‑site staffing in the RFP; Wolfield said concerns about low RFP responses stem from community agencies’ staffing models and billing limitations with insurers. The committee approved the contract recommendation to the full board; the motion carried 12–0.

Ammunition purchase for sheriff training

Captain Doherty presented a purchase request to buy ammunition from Vance’s Law Enforcement for $60,384.75. Doherty said Vance’s holds the State of Michigan contract for Winchester and Hornady ammunition used by law enforcement. He told the committee the purchase will allow sheriff personnel to complete mandatory Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) trainings and annual qualifications and to provide ammunition for duty carry. The committee approved forwarding the purchase to the full board; the motion carried 12–0.

911 service provider change to Peninsula Fiber Network

Director Elsie presented a request to enter into an agreement with Peninsula Fiber Network (PFN) to become Macomb County’s next‑generation core 911 service provider and a companion resolution to amend the county’s 911 service plan. Elsie requested the committee consider the contract and the resolution together, noting PFN already serves other Michigan counties and participates in an Oakland County cooperative purchasing contract that Macomb County could leverage. She described the arrangement as having no direct cash flow through the county: PFN would submit invoices to the Michigan Public Service Commission for reimbursement from the state 911 fund, which is supported by the state 25¢ device surcharge; Elsie said the state fund covers vendor costs including installation and ongoing maintenance.

Elsie said PFN’s system uses a fiber backbone and an Emergency Services Internet (ESInet) to deliver enhanced location information, reduce call transfer times between the county’s nine public safety answering points (PSAPs), and improve call routing. She said the county has a tentative kickoff meeting in late February and expected migration to be complete by November of the implementation year discussed at the meeting. Elsie told commissioners there should be no service outage during migration because PFN would transfer one 911 trunk at a time and that there would be no equipment swaps in individual PSAPs; the change primarily involves routing at the selective router and conversion to fiber‑based delivery. Commissioners asked about long‑term maintenance and costs; Elsie said ongoing costs and maintenance are covered by the state emergency fund and that estimated vendor reimbursement across the seven‑year period presented was \"just under $15,000,000\" as shown in the vendor cost study submitted to the Michigan Public Service Commission. The committee approved recommending the contract and resolution to the full board; combined motion carried 12–0.

Why it matters: the committee advanced several operational and public‑safety items that affect county records operations, specialty court services, law enforcement training readiness and the county’s 911 infrastructure. Several items are fully or primarily grant‑funded or reimbursed via state mechanisms, limiting direct county budget impacts as described by staff.

Bridal, Road Department staff, told commissioners the board was being asked to approve several previously presented agreements and contracts covering bridge work, road reconstruction and a federally funded safety study. \"This is through Federal Highway Administration for our Safe Streets and Roads for All,\" Bridal said during the presentation, adding the county sought an implementation path that would use video analytics and other technologies.

The package included: a revised cost‑share agreement for the Hayes Road bridge project over the Clinton River with Sterling Heights and Clinton Township that adds additional pedestrian work that Sterling Heights requested; a revised cost‑share with the City of Warren to include reconstruction work from Mound to Sherwood that had not been included in the original agreement; a contract with the Michigan Department of Transportation for the South River Road bridge replacement; a USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant award and related consultant work to study near‑misses at selected intersections; and a professional services contract for continued interior renovation design work at the county road department administration building.

On the SS4A grant, Bridal said the award includes an 80% federal participation level and the amounts discussed in the presentation. \"We were lucky to get a federal grant with an eighty/twenty split, 80% federal funds which is $139,938.65, county match is $28,000,\" Bridal said. He described the grant as funding a study to identify intersection \"near misses\" and to develop designs and NEPA documentation that could support future implementation grants. \"A lot of AI is involved with video analytics that we're looking at through this grant award,\" he said, and noted the county had selected AECOM through an RFQ process to perform the work.

Commissioners asked follow‑up questions about scope and timing. Commissioner Goitling asked whether the SS4A work covers trunk lines or more typical county roads; Bridal replied the study locations would be on the county's primary road system under its jurisdiction. Commissioner Zinner asked when South River Road work might start; Bridal said he did not have an exact date immediately but would check with the engineering department. He noted that certain bridge work must respect stream restrictions set by federal and state agencies and that timing can be affected by environmental windows.

Also included in the package was a request to hire the same design firm that completed earlier first‑floor renovations—presented as a $71,500 contract with a $7,000 contingency for additional design work on the second and third floors to cover updated finishes, ADA improvements and potential reconfiguration of office space. Bridal said using the same firm would avoid repeat conceptual design work and deliver cost savings because the firm already has the building layout.

The board approved the combined items as presented. The motion carried 12–0.

Why it matters: the approvals move forward several local road and bridge projects and commit county resources and matching funds to leverage federal grant dollars for data‑driven intersection safety work. The consultant and renovation contracts are intended to keep design work on schedule and to prepare infrastructure for future implementation of safety improvements.
