Tronyak cited budget reliance on federal dollars for initiatives including the county’s Central Intake and Assessment Center and described other grant-supported programs that she said were at risk if federal assistance is reduced. She identified the American Rescue Plan (federal) as a funding source for the Central Intake and Assessment Center and named MDOT, the Area Agency on Aging and Community Development Block Grants among other funding streams that county programs depend upon.

\"I ask that members of this board stand together and advocate fiercely in support of continuing the current level of federal funding for county services that are in jeopardy due to cuts in the federal assistance,\" Tronyak told commissioners.

Her remarks appeared during the public participation portion of the meeting; no board action was recorded in direct response to the comment during the session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","February 20, 2025 BOC - Full Board","oneSentenceSummary","A Roseville resident told the Macomb County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 20 that federal budget cuts could jeopardize funding for county programs and asked the board to advocate to protect grants that support services including the Central Intake and Assessment Center.","taxTitle","Macomb County, Michigan","taxId",2831,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6751624,"Board office outlines events calendar, Civic Clerk rollout and volunteer recognition plans",560,1030000,1590000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2372191-11c193e85daa58b2cb8b9889118c9f56&start=1030&end=1590","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2372191-11c193e85daa58b2cb8b9889118c9f56/thumbnail_1030000.jpg","/articles/6751624/Macomb-County/Michigan/Board-office-outlines-events-calendar-Civic-Clerk-rollout-and-volunteer-recognition-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6751624-1cad7ccadf8483a594207f96d1054110/orig.mp4?Expires=1773202121&Signature=J8mgOoQ6a2O3ySafP7CErMP7g8E7hmrcd0x1pa6nNdwFf~VsCsc0y8PvjqaLSFCY1Zlk8bY4aCv9oiva1CvZyYyiBHnChTbU60N33yhYkcpGiIXOQMBPmPldC6Huz~VQvi9yGxYXdVngxetx~~4I68ngYztrVc3dXyLzLOqTB~bnd6qNuRE0j8JNjitlBRqSJ-0CAn1aTeku67LI-0IZbC4qfbBy6igFNUzCaxH6Al5dIFrxDVsJ-1Dr4FPr-pSeUHdbNbtRABIvf3J~LHYls5Xd62MUMXcdtG8FLa1o4nAux~OlrblK-c1oP3ArPMeBHSuOvVxsqE7z8U3-CuD2Qg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Crystal, the board’s chief of staff, gave a detailed office update at the Feb. 20 meeting covering communications, events and technology initiatives the county board office is coordinating.

Crystal said the board office is updating its printed guidebook (published every other year) and expects to send it to print in early March. The office scheduled a Volunteer Recognition dinner for April 15; commissioners may nominate up to one person each and nominations are accepted through March 7. The Green Schools application window is open through March 9. The Macomb County celebration at MASC is scheduled for April 25 and a Tri-County celebration is set for May 1 at the Detroit Zoo. A proposed Yoga at the Hill event is pending confirmation from Freedom Hill for a Saturday in June.

Crystal told commissioners that a Civic Clerk product is on track for a spring rollout and that the county’s constituent-management system (IQ) has seen an increase in inbound messages since January. Staff also updated website content, added sliders to make public-facing documents easier to find and produced social-media videos and a March newsletter. Crystal described a proposed video series in which commissioners would highlight a local place or event and record a short video for posting through the year.

Crystal also reminded commissioners that CMH board applications are due March 4 and that the board will consider those appointments at the March full-board meeting. Staff requested that commissioners contact the office about upcoming conferences and events (MAT conference in April) and about any photos or event descriptions they want posted to county social media.

A motion to receive and file the board office update was on the floor and passed 13 to 0.","Crystal, chief of staff to the Macomb County Board, briefed commissioners on guidebook revisions, event schedules and a spring target for a Civic Clerk rollout during the Feb. 20 full-board meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6751631,"Macomb County honors Richmond Lenox EMS and commends officers for pond rescue",265,247000,512000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2372191-11c193e85daa58b2cb8b9889118c9f56&start=247&end=512","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2372191-11c193e85daa58b2cb8b9889118c9f56/thumbnail_247000.jpg","/articles/6751631/Macomb-County/Michigan/Macomb-County-honors-Richmond-Lenox-EMS-and-commends-officers-for-pond-rescue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6751631-69ceaeecec4d7710c82944c4457d0740/orig.mp4?Expires=1773202122&Signature=oisN5rZFfrjSeG4y-vvvGbcIRpL~PLsfl4KakqiT~-Zk2X3q4Ej1EKeJ~jyA7MQnwJepGyVPLgAwFqqmTUWJjZnQt8V-Nh9J9UWBth9md3RrmmrdYOuPXPW0iMU3Bk-fipRU2HfsX-lX-JF8ooGDUzUgVfKIaRCUESBv1QENuag~8TwB6K1wvdvOQmeF6VAfN34ihGpx4dhwqsVVH6mlhkF-yb9fof3t81cDMhsqaakXCJ8tB13Jdg1DiWlnClu92eItPGP6KqRdpGQvHuhVxPjl~AoMuAHSEdhGQ6711KTBokwCShAplAbuNNQNb6F3M8R~okHTpLh3rITgJM9ebg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Macomb County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 20 adopted proclamations recognizing Richmond Lenox Emergency Medical Service for its 50th anniversary and commended officers for a December rescue of a driver whose vehicle sank in a pond.

The board, meeting in the county chambers, adopted the set of proclamations by unanimous voice vote. Commissioner Phil Craft presented the Richmond Lenox EMS recognition and described the agency’s 50 years of emergency response and community transport services. “I want to congratulate the Richmond Lenox EMS on their fiftieth anniversary,” Craft said, noting the agency’s work transporting seniors and patients to appointments and its partnership with SMART transit.

Commissioner Ken Goike joined in presenting the proclamation and praised the agency’s leadership, singling out Jeff Waite for long-term service. “They are a wonderful asset to Macomb County,” Goike said.

During the presentation, Sgt. Bates of Clinton Township’s Platoon C recounted the Dec. 30 incident when officers responded to a vehicle in a pond near the Harbor’s apartment complex. Sgt. Bates described how officers removed their gear, waded into the water and pulled the driver from the partially submerged vehicle before it sank. “We pretty quickly determined that the vehicle was sinking,” Sgt. Bates said. He told the board that officers used lifelines and life jackets to get the driver and the rescuers safely back to shore.

Jeff Waite, who the board identified as Richmond Lenox EMS’s longtime leader, thanked the board for the recognition and acknowledged Richmond Township Supervisor Cindy Grenia for her support of the operation.

The proclamations package also included recognitions for other local honorees; the board voted to adopt all items in the proclamations block without additional discussion.

The board’s action was procedural: motion to adopt proclamations 8a–8d was called during the meeting and the motion passed 13 to 0.","The Macomb County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 20 adopted proclamations recognizing Richmond Lenox Emergency Medical Service’s 50th anniversary and commended Sgt.
