Summary
The Oscoda County Board of Commissioners approved the 2025 General Fund budget of $7,112,772.34 and related special funds, and authorized the finance committee and treasurer to balance the 2024 budget using the Tax Revolving Fund; the main budget vote passed 3–1.
The Oscoda County Board of Commissioners voted Dec. 17 to adopt the county's 2025 Proposed Budgets, approving a General Fund budget of $7,112,772.34 and associated special funds. Commissioner Libby Marsh moved to adopt the budgets; the motion passed with Marsh, Commissioner Ted Handrich and Chair Charles E. Varner voting yes and Commissioner Jackie Bondar voting no.
The board had opened a public hearing on the proposed budgets at 10:05 a.m. and adjourned that hearing at 10:44 a.m. before taking the adoption vote. The board also approved a separate motion authorizing the 2025 Finance Committee and the county treasurer to balance remaining 2024 budget needs from the Tax Revolving Fund. As part of that motion, the board appointed Commissioner Handrich to the Finance Committee on an interim basis.
County documents presented to the board showed November 2024 expenditures and fund balances, including ARPA receipts listed at $201,743.88 and LATCF funds at $234,707.61. The motions recorded in the minutes identify the adoption as motion 2024-333 and the authorization for balancing the 2024 budget as motion 2024-334.
The board's action moves the county into the 2025 fiscal year with the adopted spending plan and empowers the treasurer and finance committee to make end-of-year adjustments to close the 2024 books.
