Berrien County commissioners approve consent calendar, add Pipestone Lake boat-ramp repair resolution
Summary
The Berrien County Board of Commissioners approved the consent calendar and added an administrative resolution (No. 4187) to authorize repairs at the Pipestone Lake boat ramp; the board also approved a revised meeting schedule for night meetings and potential July 3 cancellation.
The Berrien County Board of Commissioners approved the consent calendar and an added administrative resolution authorizing repairs to the Pipestone Lake boat ramp (resolution No. 4187). The motion to approve the consent calendar, including the added resolution, carried on a roll call with the board reporting nine members present and two absent.
The action was moved by Commissioner Curran and supported by Commissioner Vollrath. Commissioners praised staff for advancing permitting and repair work for the ramp. County staff had told the board the EGLE (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy) permit had been received, and the project was moving forward.
Separately during the meeting the board approved a revised calendar for its regular meetings, which places several meetings in evening locations, and asked the county clerk to post the updated schedule on the Board of Commissioners web page. Commissioners discussed canceling the July 3 meeting because of the holiday; the revised notice, if approved, will be signed by the county clerk and entered into the county system so it appears on the website.
Why it matters: The Pipestone Lake boat-ramp resolution shifts the repair work from permitting to implementation now that the EGLE permit is in hand. The schedule change affects public access to meetings and was described as a housekeeping item to finalize night meeting locations and holiday cancellations.
Board action details: The consent calendar motion (including resolution No. 4187) was moved by Commissioner Curran and seconded by Commissioner Vollrath; the clerk took a roll call and the consent calendar with the added resolution was approved. The revised meeting schedule motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
