The Lapeer County Committee of the Whole on April 2 recommended several administrative approvals and funding actions to the full board, including a 36-month renewal of an Alcohol Monitoring Systems (AMS) contract and a maintenance agreement for the county's Finger Roll Livescan fingerprint machine.
A motion by Bryan Zender, supported by Scott McMahan, recommended renewal of the AMS contract for Feb. 1, 2026 through Jan. 31, 2029 at no cost to the Lapeer County General Fund; the motion carried. C. Ian Kempf moved, supported by Bryan Zender, to recommend approval of a maintenance agreement for the Livescan machine for April 9, 2026 through April 8, 2027 at a cost of $3,495; that motion carried.
The committee also voted to authorize the Health Department to accept $13,492 in carryover funds from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) Special Project, effective March 1, 2026. The motion authorizes purchase of trailer vinyl wraps, three automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and one portable generator as allowed by the funding agency; the motion specifies no cost to the county's general fund.
Other items recommended to the full board included adopting a resolution recognizing National Crime Victims' Rights Week (April 19—25, 2026) (motion by Kevin Knisely, supported by Scott McMahan; roll call recorded as unanimous among members present), and authorizing the County Treasurer to request issuance of a county credit card to Malinda M. Allen, Probate Court Administrator/Register (motion by Bryan Zender, supported by C. Ian Kempf). The minutes record public-comment periods (three speakers earlier in the meeting and seven later) and brief administrator updates from County Administrator/Controller Moses Sanzo and Interim Chief Financial Officer Jacky Bennett on ADA compliance, a new contractor for Torzewski Park and BS&A software implementation.
The meeting adjourned at 10:56 a.m. after a motion by Bryan Zender, supported by C. Ian Kempf.
