Commissioner Glenn Anderson asked whether the firing range location had moved; Benita Terry, Director of Administration for the Sheriff’s Office, said the sheriff’s office currently uses two ranges: “we use the firing range, Range 313, which is in Lincoln Park, and we use Wayne County Wayne County Airport Authority,” and she located the airport range as “at the airport, off of Wayne Road.”

Terry told the committee the training schedule is split between sites: instructors are at the airport range on Mondays and Fridays, and at Lincoln Park on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. She also said contractors allow deputies to use another firing line for personal use, but that the county’s instructors are contracted only at the two identified ranges.

Chair Kinlak and other commissioners discussed the ongoing search for a long‑term site. Kinlak said the sheriff has been involved in conversations about identifying “a location for the firing range, a long term solution,” and that the county administration is working with the sheriff on the issue.

The item was introduced as part of a request for commission approval of a general fund budget adjustment (2025-35080), but committee members indicated they would “take one motion at the end” and no final vote or tally related to this specific budget adjustment is recorded in the provided transcript.

The committee did not receive public comment on the topic during the meeting.

Committee members asked clarifying questions about past use of a Westland firing‑line location and the contracting relationship for deputies’ personal use; Terry said that the Westland location is not part of the instructors’ contracted sites and that the county’s contract covers the two named ranges. The committee did not adopt a new site or make a formal motion on a long‑term range during this meeting.

Staff and commissioners said discussions will continue; no implementation date or funding breakdown for a permanent range was provided in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Meeting Ways & Means 5/6/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Wayne County Commission Committee on Ways and Means heard a briefing on the locations and use of the sheriff’s firearms training ranges, with staff describing two active sites and saying the sheriff is pursuing a more permanent long‑term location.","taxTitle","Wayne County, Michigan","taxId",2829,"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},6248221,"Committee approves County Health Fund budget adjustment",78,667000,745000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3211879-1733dc828d55134752f904d048b465c7&start=667&end=745","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3211879-1733dc828d55134752f904d048b465c7/thumbnail_667000.jpg","/articles/6248221/Wayne-County/Michigan/Committee-approves-County-Health-Fund-budget-adjustment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6248221-3cd223d5aaf47a36a2934713aa9d7a58/orig.mp4?Expires=1771098011&Signature=T6fAj9Se5PdT~DZCNSMtPb9YybabtDArNo6pjxQdRTJjilbjkW2FbhxJMYPGSb8fo9A3xAhsQABCKH2ahTRKF7NY5rknbr8hllC5IagS2iEPjplqFitZS0Y9~wQqHg90lAsZonAOFxT-eO70Q~DGPQ3IY-0cklPOzWd2Av8zbKZIomFFiHme8KIvL9qosfAQI2~S655ws5gPj7T88lOqGE4DOw9Ul-8FKkhFl0YRjNsBf5fVFjCcraxW~f0l9r8ksVHBs9YawbLAo1CI5OoTEzj3pukTJzLKIHte5r82wzLIBbvRkaMjQQGn6DWiA9nV88zFYgdIIqHD1zA-4S4B3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wayne County Commission Committee on Ways and Means approved a budget adjustment to certify revenue in the County Health Fund during its meeting.

Bridal Manning, Assistant County Executive in the County Executive Office, told the committee the item is “a replacement of the suburban, assigned to the county executive” and that the purchase was necessary because it had not been included in the five‑year capital budget. Manning said the county typically cascades the outgoing vehicle to the deputy county executive and moves a remaining vehicle to emergency use.

Manning said the vehicle that will be replaced was a model year 2022 or 2023 and that the county is buying the new vehicle now to avoid potential supply chain issues. On accessories, Manning described the upfit as “light bars of standard kind of police upgrade” and that the vehicle would be specified comparably to sheriff specifications because it is intended for executive protection.

Commissioner Baker McCormick asked whether the upfit included sirens and lights; Manning confirmed the executive vehicle will have comparable lighting and siren equipment. At one point a speaker estimated an approximate amount, saying “I wanna say it's around $4,550,000,” but the transcript does not include a clear cost breakdown or an auditable dollar figure for this purchase.

Following discussion, Commissioner Glenn Anderson said, “I'd like to, abstain on number 3 till I get the information I'm looking for.” The transcript does not record a final roll‑call vote or tally for the Capital Projects budget adjustment (2025-35111) in the material provided.

No public comment on this item was recorded during the meeting.","County staff described a replacement suburban and upfit accessories for an executive protection vehicle; staff said the need arose because the vehicle wasn’t included in the five‑year capital plan and one existing vehicle is near end of life; a commissioner asked to abstain pending more information and no final vote is recorded in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
