Board approves interim transit director and authorizes county administrator as DNR Passport Grant signatory
Summary
The board adopted two resolutions: appointing a former transit director as interim to maintain operations until a permanent hire is made, and authorizing the county administrator to sign for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources passport grant (the grant had expired 03/31/2026; administrator will seek extension).
The Ogemaw County Board approved two resolutions during the meeting.
Interim transit director: Following a transit-committee recommendation, a commissioner moved to adopt a resolution appointing Ray, the former transit director, as the county’s interim transit director so that daily operations can continue while the board posts and fills a permanent position. The committee reported it was unanimous in recommending Ray for the interim role; Ray indicated he is available to begin next Monday. The motion was adopted in a roll-call vote of the board.
DNR Passport Grant signatory: The board also adopted a resolution authorizing the county administrator, Francine, to act as the county’s authorized representative and signatory for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recreation/passport grant. Francine said the grant had expired on 03/31/2026 and that, once authorized, she would request an extension and draft a new agreement to continue offsetting campground fees. The motion to adopt the resolution passed on a roll-call vote.
The board did not provide detailed vote tallies tied to individual member names in the spoken record of the meeting; the clerk recorded affirmative responses during roll call.
