Summary
At its Feb. 11 meeting the Barry County Board of Commissioners approved a multi-item consent agenda, large prepaid invoices, regular claims and a Homeland Security grant intergovernmental funding resolution; all motions passed by roll call.
The Barry County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 11 approved a series of motions including a consent agenda of administrative items, prepaid invoices totaling $3,489,873.89, regular claims of $54,847.86, reimbursement for commissioners’ mileage, and Resolution 25-06 authorizing a 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program intergovernmental funding agreement with St. Joseph County.
The consent agenda bundled multiple items the board read into the record and approved by roll call. Items listed on the consent agenda included approval of past meeting minutes, the dissolution of the Barry County Community Corrections Advisory Board (CCAB), adoption of proposed Material Management Planning Committee (MMPC) bylaws and a one-year contract with the Kalamazoo County household hazardous-waste (HHW) center to allow HHW drop-off services up to $5,000 in calendar year 2025. The board also approved the MMPC work program and grant budget for year one of drafting a preliminary budget for a new COA facility, and authorized an employment contract with the county administrator (materials listed an effective date for the contract in the meeting packet).
On separate motions the board approved prepaid invoices in the amount of $3,489,873.89 and claims of $54,847.86; both motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll-call vote with commissioners recorded as voting “aye.” The board approved commissioners’ mileage reimbursement in the amount of $627.20.
The board adopted Resolution 25-06, titled in the meeting materials “Resolution of Authorization for the 2024 Homeland Security Grant Program intergovernmental funding agreement between the County of St. Joseph and the County of Barry,” and authorized the board chair and county administrator to sign the agreement. The resolution passed on a roll-call vote with commissioners recorded as voting in favor.
All recorded roll-call votes in the meeting were unanimous in favor among the commissioners participating at the time of each vote. The meeting record shows one commissioner absent (Jackson) for at least part of the session.
The board had no public hearings scheduled and no unfinished or new business beyond scheduled reports and commissioner updates.
