The Gratiot County Board approved several routine resolutions and proclamations during the meeting.

Speaker 1 emphasized women's heart health and described recent AED purchases for county patrol vehicles. - Resolution 26361: Declaring Feb. 6, 2026 as 'Wear Red Day' in Gratiot County to raise heart‑health awareness; adopted by voice vote. - Resolution 26355: A credit card policy affecting county financial controls; because it touches finance, the board conducted a roll call vote and approved the policy. - Resolution 26357: A legal services policy to centralize legal counsel coordination and ensure departments are covered; Speaker 5 noted the policy clarifies counsel selection and communication through the administrator. The board approved the policy after motion and second.
All items were carried by the board, with roll calls used where the item had direct financial effect. Staff were asked to provide copies of the adopted policies and to make them available on the county webpage or as binders for commissioners' reference.
