Votes at a glance: Alpena County board passes policies, accepts grants and approves asset transfers
Summary
At its May 27 meeting the board approved committee-recommended policies, accepted a $5,000 Community Foundation grant for a debris collection site, approved two poll votes (ambulance transfer and fairboard projects), and confirmed a Planning Commission appointment.
The Alpena County Board of Commissioners approved several committee recommendations and administrative actions during its May 27 meeting.
Committee-recommended policies from the Central Dispatch Committee (including an Emergency Alert System Activation Policy, a Second Avenue Bridge Opening Policy, a Motor Vehicle Wrecker Policy, and a Meddrun-Chempack Policy) were recommended as presented or amended and advanced through the board's consent process.
The board accepted a $5,000 Urgent Need Program Grant from the Community Foundation to fund the county airport debris collection site; the grant covers hiring two part-time employees for limited hours and overtime for Grounds & Maintenance related to debris processing. County Administrator Jesse Osmer said there is no county match required.
Chairman John Kozlowski reported two poll votes: one transferring a 2012 Chery (VIN ending in 87256) ambulance to the Sheriff’s Department for conversion into a community outreach vehicle, and another authorizing the Fairboard to proceed with projects at the fairgrounds at no cost to the county, with the Fairboard required to ensure code compliance and coordinate scheduling with the fairgrounds manager. Fairboard President Courtney Tauriainen told the board the Fairboard is working with a licensed contractor to address concerns about the sheep barn floor slope.
Administrator Osmer announced the Planning Commission school board vacancy had been filled with the appointment of Dave Rabbideau. Kozlowski also noted a constituent had emailed comments on a prior public hearing regarding Road Commission expansion; Osmer said the next public hearing will be held at the beginning of the June full-board meeting at 5:30 p.m.
The meeting adjourned at 1:44 p.m.
