All motions carried; vote tallies were not specified.
Chairperson Lucille Bray presided over the Alpena County Central Dispatch Committee meeting on Oct. 16, 2025, where the panel approved four operational policies governing county 911 procedures.
The committee approved the Cancellation of Call Policy (II-06) after discussion. "The Committee recommends approval of the Cancellation of Call Policy, as amended," a committee motion record states; Erik Smith moved to approve and Rob Edmonds supported. The motion carried, but the transcript does not include a roll-call tally.
Members then considered the Emergency Response Second Call Policy (III-06). After discussion, Nick Harrison moved to approve the policy as presented and Rory Sherwood supported; the motion carried. The minutes record Action Item #2 as recommending approval of the policy as presented.
The panel also approved the Undetermined Jurisdictional Responsibility Policy (III-07). Rory Sherwood moved and Erik Smith supported approval "as presented." The committee recorded an action recommending approval of the policy.
Finally, the committee discussed and approved the Dispatch of Ambulance Policy (IV-06) "as amended." Rory Sherwood moved the motion and Nick Harrison supported; the committee’s action item records a recommendation to approve the amended policy.
The meeting minutes record the outcome of each motion as "Motion carried" but do not list individual vote tallies or any recorded dissents.
The committee did not adopt detailed policy text in the minutes beyond noting approval and whether an item was amended; committee staff or the committee’s clerk would maintain the formal policy documents and any redline changes. The meeting adjourned at 3:11 p.m.
