Chippewa County Road Commissioners approve payroll, vouchers and back Rudyard Township speed study
Summary
At the March 25, 2025 meeting, the Board of Chippewa County Road Commissioners approved payroll of $220,960.80 and vouchers of $206,616.18, accepted March 13 minutes and voted to support a Rudyard Township speed study; staff reported payroll declined about $30,000 from the prior period.
The Board of Chippewa County Road Commissioners voted to approve payroll in the amount of $220,960.80 and vouchers totaling $206,616.18 and accepted the March 13, 2025 regular meeting minutes during its March 25 meeting in Sault Ste. Marie. Commissioner Moser moved each measure and Chairman Jeremy Gagnon seconded; all motions carried.
Why it matters: The approved payroll and vouchers authorize routine county road expenditures and allow department operations to continue; the board’s support for a locally requested speed study signals a formal endorsement that may be used by Rudyard Township to request further review or action from county or state traffic engineers.
Clerk Abby Christensen, reporting Office Manager Livermore’s update, said overtime for this pay period dropped and that overall payroll was down about $30,000 compared with the previous period. Christensen also said a small run of accounts payable was completed and that statements will be posted with the next run.
On new business, Commissioner Moser moved, and Chairman Gagnon seconded, a motion that the board "support [a] speed study in Rudyard Township." The motion carried. The record does not include a roll-call tally for the votes; the minutes state each motion "carried." No public comments were recorded during the public-comment period.
Procedural notes and next steps: The payroll and vouchers were approved "subject to audit," per the motion. The board did not specify a timetable for the Rudyard Township speed study support beyond recording its endorsement. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 A.M.
