The Livingston County Board on Jan. 15 approved several committee-recommended resolutions during the action agenda, including finance and land-use items.

Budget and personnel resolutions

The finance committee reported and the board approved an end-of-year transfer of $69,325 to cover unforeseen contingencies and reallocate maintenance and salary-related expenses for fiscal year 2025. The committee also presented resolutions proposing staged salary increases for the county clerk and treasurer (recommended increases of $1,000 in FY27-FY28 and $2,000 in FY29-FY30), consistent with recent adjustments for other elected officials. Separately, the board approved a $420,000 transfer from the working cash fund to the tort, judgment and insurance liability fund to cover 2026 insurance premiums; the working cash fund will be reimbursed by the tort levy.

Property, land-use and consent items

The board approved a property committee change order of approximately $31,000 to stabilize and repair the courthouse cupola/clock-tower structure and approved an Ag & Zoning Committee-recommended decommissioning agreement for Brooks Creek Solar (SU-15-24). The consent agenda, which included approval of bills and appointments to the Moon Point Cemetery Association, passed by roll call.

Voting and implementation notes

Committee chairs told the board these items were unanimously approved at committee and the full board carried the resolutions by roll call during the Jan. 15 meeting. The finance committee also recommended a 1% additional salary increase for nonunion employees to mirror union contract movement; the committee indicated it had discussed management-team salary increases in executive session to be resolved later.

The board moved into executive session later in the meeting to discuss personnel matters related to management salary increases; that motion passed by roll call.
