Summary
The board approved Resolution 2024-46 on Oct. 23, 2024, lifting the county hiring freeze so the County Administrator may hire a Deputy County Administrator; the vote was 4–2 with one absence after commissioners raised questions about the finances and transition timeline.
The Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2024-46 on Oct. 23, 2024, lifting the countywide hiring freeze to permit the county administrator to hire a Deputy County Administrator. The measure passed on a roll-call vote of 4 yeas, 2 nays, 1 absent (Baldwin yes; Sieting no; Bicum yes; Comai no; Matley yes; Fisher yes; Sweet absent).
During discussion before the vote, commissioners raised concerns about the timing of the Chief Financial Officer transition and how accounting functions would be handled going forward. Commissioners asked about the timeframe for an administrative transition and whether accounting services would be returned to in-house staff; those topics were noted but the resolution passed without conditions. The board recorded the action as Resolution 2024-46.
