Berrien County commissioners approve consent calendar, confirm appointments and add commissioners to opioid oversight panel
Summary
The Berrien County Board approved the consent calendar (including an added resolution), confirmed several committee appointments and amended the opioid-settlement oversight resolution to add three county commissioners; new appointees to the oversight panel were named and took effect immediately.
The Berrien County Board of Commissioners approved its consent calendar, confirmed workforce and commission appointments and amended the opioid-settlement oversight resolution to add three commissioners, the board said during its regular meeting.
The board first approved the minutes from the prior meeting after a motion and second, then took up the consent calendar, which included an added resolution ending in 1117. The consent calendar passed on a roll call with all present voting yes.
Commissioners also approved a set of committee appointments. The board confirmed two workforce development appointments approved by the relevant committees and reappointed Gary Wood to the county planning commission; those appointments were effective immediately.
Separately, the board amended resolution P 231-1349 (the opioid-settlement oversight resolution) to add three county commissioners — Yarbrough, Freeland and Warfel — to membership named in the resolution. The motion to amend was moved and supported and carried by voice vote. Following the amendment the board appointed three individuals (identified in the meeting only by their first names, Amy, Gary and Julie) to the opioid-settlement oversight committee, effective immediately.
Actions taken at the meeting included routine committee confirmations and changes to committee membership; no additional details about terms, duties, or compensation for the listed appointments were provided during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
