Berrien County board approves Jan. 23 minutes; requisition 76343 flagged for abstention
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved minutes for Jan. 23 and examined requisitions. A commissioner announced they will abstain from consideration of requisition number 76343 related to excavating; the requisitions will be considered at the meeting's scheduled action time.
The Berrien County Board of Commissioners approved the minutes from the Jan. 23 meeting following a motion by Commissioner Wuerffel, seconded by Commissioner Vollrath, and a voice vote.
During the requisition review, the board discussed two requisitions and questions about payments to board members serving on outside bodies. Commissioners clarified per‑diem arrangements for the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission: the commission pays $35 per meeting and the county makes up the balance to the board’s standard per‑meeting rate; mileage for that commission is paid by the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission, the board was told.
A commissioner announced in advance that they would abstain from one requisition (number 76343), described as for excavating; staff said the item will come back for action later in the meeting at the scheduled 10:30 consideration.
