Board approves sheltering agreement, union contracts, budget amendments and land bank allocation
Summary
The Board approved a non-congregate sheltering agreement with the Red Roof Inn for COVID-19 isolation, two TPOAM collective bargaining agreements covering 2021–2023, FY2020 budget amendments, an additional $130,000 allocation to the Land Bank Authority, and a revised Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance.
At its Dec. 17 meeting the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners approved several administrative and budget items across public health, labor and property management.
The Board approved a Non-Congregate Sheltering Facility Agreement with the Red Roof Inn for COVID-19 isolation and quarantine under emergency procurement provisions through mid-March (Res.223-2020). Administrator/Controller Kelli Scott said the arrangement is for non-congregate isolation/quarantine and would not require the emergency-level EMS care that had been needed for an earlier facility.
The Board approved two collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters Public Officers Association of Michigan (TPOAM) covering Jan. 1, 2021, through Dec. 31, 2023; both agreements were ratified by the unions and recommended by county negotiators led by HR Director Kim Archambault (Res.224-2020 and Res.225-2020).
The FY2020 final budget amendments were approved (Res.221-2020); Scott said the net effect is offset by revenues in excess of budget and that the General Fund balance was not expected to be used. The Board also approved the November 2020 financial statements, which Scott said project a small General Fund surplus due to salary and operations savings and grant reimbursements (Res.226-2020).
The Board approved an amendment increasing allocations to the Land Bank Authority by $130,000 to account for pandemic-related lost revenues; Land Bank Manager Krista Trout-Edwards presented the item (Res.227-2020). The Board adopted updates to the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance prepared by Corporation Counsel Jim Dyer to comply with state audit comments; the ordinance was described as not having a county financial impact (Res.228-2020).
Finally, the Board approved claims payable totaling $4,115,643.03 for payments from Nov. 25 through Dec. 10, 2020 (Res.229-2020) and adjourned at 8:24 p.m.
