Summary
The Board approved warrants, payroll and transfers totaling $5,976,049.88 and authorized buying six tasers (not to exceed $28,914) with a plan to apply for a 50% reimbursement grant; the actions passed unanimously on Feb. 12, 2025.
At its Feb. 12 meeting the Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners authorized warrants, wire transfers, ACH and EFTs for a combined total of $5,976,049.88 covering several Invoice Edit Reports and two payroll batches (Jan. 17 and Jan. 31, 2025). The motion to approve disbursements was moved by Commissioner Garber and seconded by Commissioner Johnson and carried on a roll‑call vote of 7 yeas, 0 nays.
The Board also approved several personnel and procurement items tied to county operations. Commissioners approved refilling a Road Patrol Deputy position following a retirement, and approved replacing a Public Health Nurse at Grade 9; both personnel actions were recorded as passing with 7–0 roll calls.
On equipment, the Board approved purchasing six new tasers with a not‑to‑exceed cost of $28,914 and authorized staff to apply for a 50% reimbursement grant to offset the purchase. The motion was moved by Commissioner Haley and seconded by Commissioner Holzhausen and passed 7–0.
Other routine approvals included committee minutes (Economic & Physical Development; Finance & Administration; Public Safety & Courts; Health & Human Services) and the chair’s appointment of David Johnson to the 911 Board, approved on the chair’s recommendation; the minutes record the appointment as carried (specific roll‑call detail for that appointment was not provided in the minutes text).
What happens next: warrants will be drawn from the Treasury for the approved disbursements; county staff will proceed with the taser purchase subject to the grant application outcome and will process the personnel hires and appointment according to county policy.
