Berrien County commissioners approve minutes and consent calendar, including added resolutions

The Berrien County Board of Commissioners approved minutes from three recent meetings and approved the consent calendar, which included four added resolutions, by roll call.

A motion to approve the minutes was moved by Ott and supported by Freeling; members approved the minutes by voice vote. Later, a motion to approve the consent calendar "with the added resolutions ending in 50, 51, 52, and 59" was moved and supported, and the clerk recorded yes votes from commissioners during a roll call.

During the public-comment portion that prefaced the consent calendar vote, Nick Shelton of Abbot Marsh said he represented Abbot Marsh and asked commissioners to "select Avon Marsh as the low bidder on, the approval of the agreement for Silver Beach Restaurant project and the Madeline Bertrand Pavilion project." Shelton identified himself as business development and government strategy director for Abbot Marsh.

The board noted that Resolution No. 59 (an honorary resolution) will be delivered to Carrie Smitanka Haney. No items were pulled from the consent calendar for separate consideration at this meeting.
