Mackinac County board approves courtroom loan closing, staffing change and routine bills
Summary
At its Feb. 26 meeting the Mackinac County Board unanimously approved a Certificate of Arbitrage for a courtroom remodel loan and authorized the chair to sign closing documents; the board also converted a shelter position to full time, approved vendor bids, denied a union grievance, and passed routine bills and a budget amendment.
The Mackinac County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 26 unanimously approved a resolution certifying arbitrage calculations for a courtroom remodel loan and authorized Chair Mike Patrick to sign closing documents for the Installment Purchase Agreement.
The vote followed a motion by Commissioner Austin Kimberling, second by Commissioner Daryl Schroeder; Roll Call: YES: Kimberling, Kling, Patrick, Schroeder, St. Louis‑Scott; NO: none. The resolution clears required administrative steps to finalize the county’s financing for the courtroom remodel.
Also approved at the same meeting were a personnel change and several routine financial items. The board voted to convert a part‑time shelter position to full time (moved by Kimberling; seconded by John Kling) and approved a $1,500 bid from Molly's Nest for courthouse summer flower planters (moved by Kimberling; seconded by Kling). The board denied a union grievance filed by employee Donna DesJardins on a motion by Kimberling, seconded by Kling; the denial carried on a unanimous roll call.
For finance housekeeping, the board approved the regular bills for Feb. 26 totaling $146,095.80 (moved by Kimberling; seconded by Schroeder) and approved budget amendment #26‑06 in the amount of $3,500 (moved by Kimberling; seconded by St. Louis‑Scott). Both motions passed by unanimous roll call.
Sheriff Ed Wilk had reported earlier in the meeting that the sheriff’s office received grants — $50,000 from MMRMA for in‑car cameras and $20,000 to sponsor deputies’ academy programs — but those were informational staff reports and not items requiring board action at this meeting.
The board closed its business and adjourned at 4:56 p.m.
