Key votes included adding continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps to the county pharmacy benefit plan (Resolution 2025-41); awarding a contract to Bay Valley Electric for a central-dispatch uninterruptible power supply replacement (Resolution 2025-42); approving the Debt Hook software agreement (Resolution 2025-43); adopting a letter of understanding for Raymond Robinson (Resolution 2025-44); approving payable items (Resolution 2025-45); designating National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (Resolution 2025-46); and forwarding reports to the county executive (Resolution 2025-47). The board also approved a personnel reorganization in the Equalization Department (Resolution 2025-49).

The board appointed Michael Losey as Bay County Environmental Affairs and Community Development Director (Resolution 2025-48). Losey addressed the board briefly after the appointment, saying he has experience with environment–infrastructure issues and previously worked for Springfield Township; he also said he plans to work with county staff as he transitions into the role. The board approved the appointment by voice vote with no opposition recorded.

The board received nominations and conducted votes for appointments to the Bay Area Health Authority Board of Directors, filling three full three-year terms (names recorded in the meeting included Richard Byrne, Robert Pavlak and Shelly King) and one unexpired term through March 31, 2026 (Chris Gerard). The board also received and approved Region 7 Area Agency on Aging appointments and reappointments, including the appointment of Patrick Beeson to the Region 7 board; Beeson spoke during public comment to thank commissioners and described services the agency provides to seniors.

Other administrative items received by the board included notice that a Brownfield plan adoption for the Bay Valley Resort and Conference Center will be re-noticed and held at a special meeting on March 25, 2025. The Bay City Brownfield Redevelopment Authority’s amendment to the Water Street Lofts Brownfield plan was received by the board for notice; no board action on the Brownfield items was taken at this meeting.

At the end of the meeting the board voted to go into closed session to discuss labor negotiations pursuant to MCL 15.2681(c); the board approved going into closed session and conducted a roll call as requested.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bay County Board of Commissioners Meeting (3/18/25)","oneSentenceSummary","At its March 18 meeting the Bay County Board of Commissioners approved multiple resolutions and appointments including benefits changes, contract awards, and the appointment of Michael Losey as Environmental Affairs and Community Development Director; the board also voted to move into closed session for labor negotiations.","taxTitle","taxId",5008,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6112994,"Bay County approves revenue bond for MBS International Airport solar project",15,372000,387000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2746565-dcb908e5d1ddb3908b0017a3d041e857&start=372&end=387","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2746565-dcb908e5d1ddb3908b0017a3d041e857/thumbnail_372000.jpg","/articles/6112994/Bay-County/Michigan/Bay-County-approves-revenue-bond-for-MBS-International-Airport-solar-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6112994-36d9729b5ccbf01e094d543080e17159/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142846&Signature=Ov0Fq9h3w0AAYDhdBJvpK3XDFvXjrxzCybvrrWU2rvTlmmYWTfbvOId2QcrE9jfHftE4Fj-HgvE-Aree7ymSRgtdqbRtWHMQoAOXDDEPERZ634oluU1lk-Qg5tzWtJ6wWHWMKgzPYL471YKQn8xBnbPMQ2a9hgtthgpjggin83NMWSyfxn7rCMFDsm0zD5keCIhyloZ~MOQTNODPIHNRuV-QmC2kY-ODlj12eZj6jGNSlQz0Bdhl9hKaieGfEvtUXDhnlJXej6WBNAcrDfmLL0Il34saadGvrNHePXpUn-V2tuQDqHgze6HGyFhYVWu8tPFz9KmweKz5VyYvshnGRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bay County Board of Commissioners on March 18 approved Resolution 2025-40 permitting MBS International Airport to issue a revenue bond to fund solar canopies and ground-mounted arrays at the airport.

Airport Director James Kanter told the board the bond is a revenue bond guaranteed by the airport and its bond agent, D.A. Davidson, and “will not impact the finances of Bay County whatsoever.” He said the project will place solar canopies primarily over the short-term parking lot and ground arrays around the administration building and airfield to reduce the terminal’s energy use by about 35 percent and, together with a sister project over the rental car lot, to reduce building energy use by roughly 52 percent.

Kanter estimated the contract at about $7,300,000 and projected annual energy savings of approximately $400,000. He said the airport expects to claim tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that would reduce the project cost by about $2,000,000. The project will also add electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, including Level 2 chargers in the short-term lot, Level 1 chargers in the long-term lot, and one publicly accessible fast (Level 3) charger near the hangar line; Kanter said the airport is also preparing for electric aircraft.

The board opened and closed a public hearing on the bonds after no members of the public addressed the board. Following the public hearing the board moved to approve the revenue bond resolution; the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.

Discussion versus decision: Kanter’s remarks and the board’s public-hearing process were on the record as the factual basis for the board’s vote. There was one brief question from a commissioner about the project schedule; Kanter said, if bonds are approved, construction would start around the end of May and likely take two to three months to complete.

Next steps: Kanter said the airport must complete bond issuance and public-disclosure requirements to achieve the best bond rate. The board did not specify additional conditions during the meeting.","The Bay County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2025-40 authorizing MBS International Airport to issue a revenue bond to finance solar canopies and ground-mounted arrays; airport director James Kanter said the bond carries no obligation for county taxpayers and will reduce the airport's energy costs.","actionData","errors"]
