At the April 7 meeting, multiple residents requested updates or formal policy on an ICE-related resolution and suggested ARPA Reserve uses; one resident invited commissioners to a town hall on April 20 to discuss ARPA allocations.

Several residents used the public-comment period at the April 7 meeting to press the Marquette County Board for updates and action on an ICE-related resolution and to suggest uses for ARPA Reserve funds.

John Gumaer and Debbie White each requested an update on the county’s ICE resolution. Nancy Uschold asked the Board to take a proactive stance and consider a formal resolution regarding ICE. James Bates asked the Board to adopt a formal policy governing local police cooperation with ICE and offered locations in the community that could be considered for ARPA Reserve spending. Donavon Young of Ishpeming invited commissioners to a town hall at the PWPL on April 20, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. to speak about ARPA Reserve dollars used for the community.

The public-comment segment also included a separate appeal about recycling and constrained waste space from Lyn Durant. The meeting minutes record the requests and invitations but show no formal Board response or action at that session; Commissioner Numinen later said his resolution regarding ICE would appear on an upcoming meeting agenda.
