Sanilac County commissioners approve claims, budget amendments and several contracts and personnel items
Summary
At its May 2 meeting the Sanilac County Board of Commissioners approved payment of claims, a comprehensive set of 2023 budget amendments and a series of contracts, personnel actions and agreements, including a courthouse boiler contract funded by ARPA and a non‑expiring policing agreement with Lexington Township.
The Sanilac County Board of Commissioners on May 2 approved a series of formal actions including payment of claims, budget amendments and multiple contracts and personnel authorizations.
The board approved FA‑061‑23, authorizing payment of current claims totaling $143,205.08 (moved by Commissioner Bill Sarkella; seconded by Commissioner Christine Lee). The board also adopted FA‑062‑23, a set of 2023 budget amendments and account establishments that moved funds between several line items and funds, adjusted beginning balances and recorded a number of wage and expense line changes. The budget motion was moved by Commissioner Bill Sarkella and seconded by Commissioner Gary Heberling.
Other actions approved included FA‑063‑23 (2023 Health Department lease agreement), FA‑064‑23 (award of boiler replacement to Lakeshore Improvements, LLC, not to exceed $180,903.50 with ARPA funding), FA‑065‑23 (authorization to post a probation officer/caseworker vacancy), FA‑066‑23 (MOU to expedite seasonal parks hires), FA‑067‑23 (indigent defense director contract at $95,000), FA‑068‑23 (non‑expiring law enforcement services agreement with Lexington Township), FA‑069‑23 (disposal of a 2010 Ford Explorer via Albrecht Auction Service with proceeds to the sheriff’s vehicle line), FA‑070‑23 (increase of Child Care Fund basic grant from $15,000 to $56,520), and FA‑071‑23 (agreements for RDSS quasi‑volunteers at specified hourly rates).
Most motions were moved by Commissioner Sarkella and carried as recorded in the minutes; where roll-call tallies were provided, votes were unanimous. The motions authorize contracts and budgetary changes and generally direct the board chair or relevant department to execute or implement the approved documents.
What to watch next: several approvals require execution of contracts or administrative follow-up (e.g., boiler procurement and lease execution). The minutes do not record implementation timelines beyond authorization.
