Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Bay County Board of Commissioners adopted a series of routine resolutions including contract renewals, bid awards, grant acceptances, intergovernmental agreements and several personnel concurrences, most by voice vote.
The Bay County Board of Commissioners approved a package of routine resolutions, contract renewals and personnel concurrences at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025.
Most items were adopted by voice vote after a motion and second and included contract renewals for county services, bid awards, acceptance of grants and concurrence with executive appointments. Several items were recorded as "received" rather than acted on formally.
The board approved the following, by resolution number where recorded in the meeting agenda: 2025-3 (Dury Systems Incorporated software agreement, FY2025); 2025-4 (A and D Home Healthcare, contract renewal); 2025-5 (Blue Cross Complete agreements for elevated blood lead case management); 2025-6 (IFB 2024-26 bid award, Bay County waste and recycling removal rebid); 2025-7 (payables); 2025-8 (board analyst advisor recommendation); 2025-9 (reports of the county executive, December 2024, received); 2025-10 (ARPA revenue recovery: authorize Bay County Road Commission to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Bangor Township for the Kawkawlin River dredge project); 2025-12 (concurrence with appointment of Keegan Bingle as Bay County Equalization Director); 2025-13 (concurrence with appointment of Scott Krakowski as finance director — see separate article); 2025-14 (benefits of county administrator position hired at the rate closest to current rate); 2025-15 (Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency county veterans service grant, FY2026); and 2025-16 (hiring an attorney in the office of criminal defense at a higher rate).
Several administrative items were also received by the board rather than enacted as stand-alone policy: a public bond status update from the Bay County treasurer and a public director listing of authorized department heads.
Where the record shows a roll call, the outcome is recorded below. For the remaining items, the meeting transcript records a voice vote of "Aye" with no opposing votes noted.

One item recorded a roll-call vote: Resolution 2025-11, provision of health insurance as a fringe benefit for Bay County commissioners. The transcript shows a roll-call with six recorded "Yes" votes and one "No" vote (Docket recorded "No"); the meeting record then included a numerical tally announced by the chair internally. The board minutes should be consulted for the official roll-call record.
Ending: Several appointments and routine business items were on the agenda; most passed without extended discussion. Other items discussed elsewhere on the agenda included ceremonial recognitions and the appointment and introduction of a new board analyst and a new finance director.
