Summary

At the July 21 special meeting, Material Management Fund representative Dave Schafer requested an increase in site attendant wages and approval to contract with GFL to support operations; the board deferred action until it reviews a summary of all requested increases.

Dave Schafer presented the Material Management Fund budget to the Benzie County Board of Commissioners and asked for higher wages for site attendants and for the county to enter or modify a contract with GFL for operations. Schafer described these as requests to sustain staffing and operational continuity at county material-management sites.

Commissioners did not act on Schafer's request during the special meeting; they asked County Administrator Katie Zeits to include the Material Management Fund requests in a summary of all departmental increases so the board can consider them together at its next meeting.
