At the second public-comment period, Michael Curas of Spring Lake Township asked the board to avoid delaying an appointment in search of perfection. "Please don't let perfect become the enemy of good enough," Curas said, urging commissioners to weigh whether the lone surviving candidate meets the county's needs.

A remote speaker who identified herself as Linda King attempted to speak but had audio problems and the board suggested submitting comments by email to the clerk.

The board took no action on the comments beyond acknowledgment; commissioners thanked participants and closed public comment.
