Former county administrator urges commissioners to support medical care facility millage renewal
Summary
Jeff Carmen, a longtime Cass County resident and former county administrator, urged the Board of Commissioners to back a millage renewal for the county medical care facility, calling it "an extraordinary facility" and one of about 35 in the state still operating successfully.
Jeff Carmen, a Cass County resident of 39 years and former county administrator, urged the Board of Commissioners on Oct. 16 to support renewal of the millage that funds the county medical care facility.
Carmen, who identified himself as a member of the county Department of Health and Human Services board, described the facility as "an extraordinary facility" and said it is one of roughly 35 in the state that remains successful. He told commissioners the facility sits on a campus with significant potential to serve residents as they age.
Carmen also praised the county—s professional staff and encouraged commissioners to have confidence in county employees. He recounted earlier cooperative efforts between townships and the county, including work that saved and rebuilt a fire department facility.
No board action on the millage renewal was recorded at the Oct. 16 committee meeting. Carmen's remarks came during the public comment segment and were offered as an appeal to the commissioners ahead of any formal millage vote or renewal process.
