County to participate in regional scrap tire grant; commissioner abstains over employer conflict
Summary
Clinton County agreed to participate in EGLE’s 2026 scrap tire grant with Barry and Eaton Counties; the grant would fund a collection trailer for a September 26, 2026 fall event, and Commissioner Hurtekant abstained from the vote citing an employer conflict with EGLE.
Clinton County’s Department of Waste Management sought the board’s support to participate in the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) annual scrap tire grant for calendar year 2026. The grant would fund one scrap tire collection trailer for the fall collection event scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2026, allowing Clinton County residents to drop off car and light truck tires free of charge; Eaton County will act as fiduciary and the county will present an MOU once grant details are released.
The Ways and Means Committee recommended participation; the board concurred with the committee recommendation. Commissioner Brian Hurtekant stated he supported the effort but abstained from the vote due to a conflict of interest with his employer, EGLE; the minutes record the abstention.
