Board approves $10.28M in warrants, staffing actions and labor agreement
Summary
Commissioners authorized $10,277,347.58 in warrants and payroll, approved a court labor agreement and several staffing replacements and appointments, and allocated up to $50,000 for household hazardous waste collections; most votes were unanimous.
The Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners on April 15 authorized warrants and payroll totaling $10,277,347.58, approved a collective bargaining agreement for county courts, and confirmed multiple staffing appointments and replacements.
The board approved invoice edits and payroll batches covering dates in March and April and authorized warrants, wire transfers, ACH and EFTs totaling $10,277,347.58; the vote on that item was 6-1 with Commissioner Matthew Shepard dissenting. The board also approved a collective bargaining agreement between the 35th, 66th and Probate Courts and the TPOAM Association (7-0); authorized filling a Circuit Court Deputy Clerk position at grade 3 (7-0); approved replacement of an assistant prosecutor and two correctional deputies (7-0); and appointed Shirley Smith to the Planning Commission and Carole Stevens to the Jury Board.
The board authorized up to $50,000 from the Solid Waste Fund to support two household hazardous waste collection events in 2026, and directed the Health Director to hire a grant‑funded summer public health intern at $18 per hour (both approved unanimously). The meeting record shows the motions were moved and seconded by various commissioners as part of routine consent and committee action items.
What happens next: departments will proceed with hiring and procurement actions consistent with the board’s approvals; budgetary and staffing changes will be reflected in county personnel and finance records. The county clerk will file minutes and resolutions as the official record of the approvals.
