Summary
The Lapeer County Committee of the Whole voted unanimously May 14 to adopt a resolution authorizing issuance of Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2026, to finance a Community Mental Health building project and approved a small vendor contract for client statement services.
The Lapeer County Committee of the Whole on May 14 adopted a resolution authorizing issuance of Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2026, for a Community Mental Health (CMH) building project.
Acting under authority granted at the April 23 regular board meeting, the committee moved to adopt the attached resolution. The roll call recorded seven ayes and zero nays. Chairman Gary Howell and commissioners Greg Wise, Kevin Knisely, Brad Haggadone, C. Ian Kempf, Bryan Zender and Scott McMahan voted in favor.
Brooke Sankiewicz, chief executive officer of Community Mental Health Services, introduced a veteran navigator and case manager and summarized CMH services for the committee. Following that presentation, the committee authorized CMH to accept the low quote from Trizetto for client statements and insurance verification at a cost of $6,150 to be paid from CMH funds, with no additional cost to the county general fund. The motion to accept the Trizetto quote was made by Commissioner Greg Wise and supported by Commissioner Bryan Zender; it carried.
County counsel and bond counsel materials were provided to support the resolution; counsel from Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes addressed the committee during the presentation. The committee’s action gives county officials authority to proceed with the bond issuance process as described in the adopted resolution.
The committee did not record additional financing detail (for example, par amount, interest rate or closing date) in the meeting minutes; those specifics will be determined by the county and bond counsel as the issuance process proceeds. The resolution and related bond documents were attached to the meeting packet for review.
