Gladwin County adopts Heartland Material Management By‑Laws; partnership application tabled and waiver signed
Summary
The board approved Heartland Material Management Planning Committee by‑laws and authorized Chair Karen Moore to sign a Waiver of Conflict and Consent to Representation; a proposed county partnership to apply for a Materials Management Grant was tabled pending more information about costs and municipal impacts.
The Gladwin County Board of Commissioners approved the Heartland Material Management Planning Committee By‑Laws during its Feb. 25 meeting and authorized Chair Karen Moore to sign a county attorney–provided Waiver of Conflict and Consent to Representation.
Commissioner Tami O'Donnell moved to adopt the by‑laws and Commissioner Mike Visnaw supported the motion; the board voted to approve the by‑laws as presented. Earlier in the meeting the consent agenda was amended to include authorization for the chair to sign the waiver; a separate motion specifically authorizing Chair Moore to sign the Waiver of Conflict and Consent to Representation regarding the Heartland by‑laws was approved by the board.
A later related request — to approve a partnership with the Heartland Material Management Planning Committee so the county could apply for a Materials Management Grant on behalf of Gladwin County — prompted discussion over potential future costs, overlap with municipal programs and compliance with state mandates. The board tabled the partnership request for additional review and information.
The minutes record motions to adopt the by‑laws and to authorize the chair's signature; the partnership motion was tabled for further consideration.
