County staff said moving the payroll line into the Emergency Management budget makes it easier to seek reimbursement when the appropriate reimbursement channel opens.

The Emergency Management director told the board that during COVID reimbursements were run through the EM budget and that doing the same for the storm-response payroll simplifies the process. The presenter said the requested $2,060.74 includes fringe benefits but that the final payout would likely be lower than the full amount.

The board approved the adjustment by roll call. Staff indicated the approved funds will allow payment now and that Emergency Management will submit documentation to pursue reimbursement from the applicable funder when that process is available.

Ending: The board directed staff to proceed with the adjustment and with submitting reimbursement claims; no additional policy action was taken.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Finance, Ways & Means Committee Meeting 04/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved moving up to $2,060.74 into the Emergency Management budget to pay two employees who worked at the county Emergency Operations Center during a recent storm, to facilitate possible reimbursement; staff said the final payout will likely be less than the maximum requested amount.","taxTitle","Alpena County, Michigan","taxId",71580,"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},6572407,"Alpena County adopts 2025 equalization report; county equalized value rises about 10.17%",273,1017815,1291595,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3079352-822252988b4b584558a46ea1eaf7205a&start=1017&end=1291","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3079352-822252988b4b584558a46ea1eaf7205a/thumbnail_1017815.jpg","/articles/6572407/Alpena-County/Michigan/Alpena-County-adopts-2025-equalization-report-county-equalized-value-rises-about-1017","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6572407-9e861eb83df97fd9ad6e174877ebdbd0/orig.mp4?Expires=1775307251&Signature=oLXwO8uXDYHDBq439Wwd1oamnWsq6K0-0d8mdb3kWsLx5ItPOIIj9G82HVprNOo5XCND2zPlyo5JLSTo3MP2jxJY5vZ6qU~rzjBrUj51cUcisra~Lx7~BbHhz8QfXYyu8cx5P3WRw1y-KDAHQZOoCifAgfhOK~m3XMXO7CLPGVOJyO115jpGujYg01pp~qq87LhWplXjkidEJ4K1EFbalAewAUs2NQ1OLCMwfvOf1pHCtUGKN9aGFiFPYfbFzosPNqolPY7ADZP3AzHC0JyR8m~vFAXsyG1buF8TS8iUsiHtaqarroebv-tsS-NlsZUPiOsXWl-uQ4i5DExISjPxfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alpena County Board of Commissioners on April 10 adopted the county's 2025 equalization report, which sets recommended equalized and taxable values for state certification.

The county's equalization department presented a recommended 2025 equalized value of $1,827,263,179, an increase of 10.17% over 2024, and a recommended taxable value of $1,262,457,797, an increase of 6.39% over 2024. The presenter said residential property accounted for the largest increase, rising approximately 10.06% year over year; Wilson Township recorded the largest unit-level increase in taxable value at 13.36%.

The report includes county totals for real and personal property equalized values and unit-level schedules. The presenter stated the county equalized value for real property is $1,722,090,407 and for personal property $105,172,779; board number references and certification pages (including a certification by the equalization director) will be signed and submitted to the State of Michigan as required.

The board moved to adopt the report and to authorize the chair, county clerk and equalization director to sign the remaining documents for submission to the state; the motion passed on voice/roll-call vote.

Why it matters: The county's equalized and taxable values form the basis for levy calculations, state reporting and allocation of some state-shared revenues. Changes in equalized or taxable value affect taxing jurisdictions and can influence revenue projections for schools, townships and the county.

Ending: Staff said there were no unit-level assessment imbalances requiring adjustment this year and that the department prepared charts and schedules for reference. The board approved the certification requested by the equalization department and directed staff to file the required materials with the State of Michigan.","The Alpena County Board approved the 2025 equalization report, which recommends an equalized value of $1,827,263,179 and a taxable value of $1,262,457,797, increases of 10.17% and 6.39% respectively over 2024.",{"_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},6572412,"Votes at a glance: Alpena County Board approves budget adjustments, 911 surcharge continuation and other routine items",345,47375,392415,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3079352-822252988b4b584558a46ea1eaf7205a&start=47&end=392","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3079352-822252988b4b584558a46ea1eaf7205a/thumbnail_47375.jpg","/articles/6572412/Alpena-County/Michigan/Votes-at-a-glance-Alpena-County-Board-approves-budget-adjustments-911-surcharge-continuation-and-other-routine-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6572412-ea277d44df8d598f3c096859898d7b76/orig.mp4?Expires=1775307251&Signature=JYkdIopv9H7G-0HIgNboQePME5YUZFh4jfucgxJ4Q24O5~h9lJREIIOiuXN4nsPE3kMGGar7NFvOhGlvLSVGbKw5BksRt8nGxVMCQSPlBdDcj7uB8LQ1VHkC77XKVa2h-ohCJc4I9Nnhb4yxEesVhnhsNLQeYTqwPjnFDTBUB-3fhVwM-hUxCLVjz0tYR8X2mY3TDgfLuBj06nfIblTU9RulNosorjNezV0v-EJCRIogx8oFMWzb4OHK5VFqlGTLfIP3XXDa-Q-qbt0OV~EHy4MMhoSb1wE7aXjmDc-2nGWvpjpeujhGYYLDF7jGV6Bg5YHLxoX3q5tZgNDFEXbu8g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alpena County Board of Commissioners on April 10 approved a series of routine motions and resolutions, including payment of county bills, a budget amendment to reimburse emergency operations center staff for storm work, continuation of a $3 monthly 911 surcharge for the July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 year, and adoption of the county's 2025 equalization report.
