Gogebic County moves $250,000, fronts Livescan purchase and approves $137,900 construction payment
Summary
Commissioners approved a $250,000 budget amendment moving fund balance into building equipment, agreed to front $18,575 for a Livescan fingerprint machine (100% reimbursed by a Michigan State Police grant), and approved payment to Nasi Construction for $137,899.89 for courtroom ceiling work.
At its March 26 meeting the Gogebic County Board of Commissioners approved several financial actions affecting county funds and vendor payments.
Commissioners approved a budget amendment to move $250,000 from the Fund Balance Forward account into the Building & Grounds Equipment account. The motion was moved by Commissioner Peterson and passed by unanimous roll-call vote.
The board also agreed to front $18,575 to purchase a Livescan fingerprint machine for the sheriff’s office. The minutes state the county will be reimbursed 100% of that amount through a grant from the Biometric Division of the Michigan State Police.
On claims and accounts, commissioners voted to pay claims, pre-paids and credit cards as presented and to add an invoice from Nasi Construction for $137,899.89 for completion of the courtroom ceiling. The roll call on claims and accounts recorded seven yes votes.
The minutes do not specify the timeline for reimbursement of the Livescan expense beyond the note that reimbursement will come from the Michigan State Police Biometric Division grant, nor do they attach supporting documents for the Nasi Construction invoice in the minutes. Members of the public asked why materials regarding claims and accounts are not provided to the public; the minutes record a public question but do not record a formal staff response.
