Shiawassee County Board approves nearly $6M in warrants, adopts sick-leave policy and clears personnel moves
Summary
The board approved warrants and payroll totaling $5,976,049.88, adopted an Earned Sick Time Policy for county employees, approved a retirement refill for a Road Patrol Deputy, authorized purchase of six tasers (up to $28,914) with a 50% reimbursement grant application, and approved other personnel and committee minutes on Feb. 12, 2025.
At its Feb. 12, 2025 meeting, the Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners approved county payments and several administrative and personnel actions.
The board approved Invoice Edit Reports for multiple dates and payroll batches and authorized warrants drawn from the Treasury for a grand total of $5,976,049.88. The roll call vote on the payment motion recorded seven yeas (Holzhausen, Johnson, Garber, Howard, Shepard, Haley and Chairman Gregory Brodeur) and 0 nays. The motion authorized inclusion of wire transfers, ACH and EFTs and to draw warrants from county funds.
The board accepted and placed on file the 2024 Register of Deeds Annual Report. The board also approved a rehabilitation mortgage discharge for Tiffany Lynn Crampton of 315 Madison St., Perry, MI, and approved minutes from several committee meetings dated Feb. 10–11. The board approved minutes from the Economic & Physical Development, Finance & Administration, Public Safety & Courts, and Health & Human Services committee meetings as recorded in the meeting packet.
On personnel and policy items, the board adopted an Earned Sick Time Policy and directed amendment of the employee handbook to reflect the new policy. Commissioners also approved refilling a Road Patrol Deputy position due to a retirement and authorized hiring a replacement Public Health Nurse at Grade 9. The board approved the chair’s recommendation to appoint David Johnson to the 911 Board; the transcript record does not specify whether the appointee is the same person as the Commissioner Johnson listed on the roll call.
On public safety equipment, the board approved purchasing six new tasers not to exceed $28,914 and authorized applying for a 50% reimbursement grant for that purchase.
Why it matters: these actions finalize routine county financial disbursements and implement personnel and policy changes that affect county operations, staffing and equipment. The meeting record shows unanimous or unanimous roll-call approvals for the listed actions where votes were recorded.
The board discussed these items during general business and then moved into a closed session later in the meeting.
