Benzie County certifies jail-operations millage for August 4 ballot
Summary
The Benzie County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-009 to place a jail-operations millage renewal on the Aug. 4, 2026, primary ballot and certified ballot language; the board voted unanimously with one commissioner excused.
The Benzie County Board of Commissioners voted March 10 to place a jail-operations millage renewal question on the Aug. 4, 2026, primary-election ballot and certified the ballot language.
The motion to adopt Resolution 2026-009 was made by Commissioner Len Mathieu and seconded by Commissioner Bob Roelofs. Undersheriff Greg Hubers was present to answer questions during the discussion. The motion passed on a roll-call vote: Art Jeannot, Tim Markey, Len Mathieu, Rhonda Nye, Bob Roelofs and Gary Sauer voted yes; Commissioner Christina Trigg was excused.
The resolution authorizes a millage renewal election for Benzie County Jail Operations and certifies the ballot language for the county clerk to place on the primary ballot. The board did not specify detailed levy rates or expected revenue in the meeting minutes; those details normally appear in the formal ballot certification documents and the county’s resolution record.
Next steps include final administrative processing by the county clerk’s office to place the certified language on the Aug. 4 ballot, and public outreach by county staff in the run-up to the election.
