Board approves several routine measures including opposing state revenue cuts and transfer to Parks Capital Improvement Fund
Summary
The Montcalm County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 22 approved a package of routine fiscal and administrative items, including a resolution opposing state revenue‑sharing cuts and a $25,000 transfer to the parks capital fund.
The Montcalm County Board of Commissioners approved several consent and fiscal items during the Sept. 22 meeting.
Key actions taken by voice vote:
- Resolution 2025‑11: The board approved a resolution opposing proposed fiscal year 2026 cuts to county revenue sharing and authorized sending the resolution to the county’s U.S. House representatives.
- Parks capital funds: The board authorized the controller to transfer $25,000 from the general fund to the Parks Capital Improvement Fund. The controller said prior funding for parks capital has come from property sales and timbering revenues and that the fund balance would be small without this transfer.
- Medical examiner reappointment: The board reappointed Dr. Paul Wagner, M.D., as Montcalm County medical examiner through Dec. 31, 2025, to preserve continuity while the county continues to evaluate its contract with MidMichigan Medical Examiners Group.
- FY2025 budget amendments: The controller presented and the board approved a series of FY2025 budget adjustments, largely to account for a wage study enacted earlier in the year and to reallocate existing general fund dollars and some fund balances where intended.
- Warrants and consent agenda: The board approved three warrant reports totaling $1,907,779.09 and placed consent agenda items 9 through 15 on file, including an ordinance amendment to the ORV ordinance.
Most votes were taken by voice and recorded as carried; the meeting did not include roll‑call tallies in the transcript for these motions.
