Summary
The board approved a multi‑item consent calendar April 16 that included opioid settlement agreements, a license with Corewell, a strategic planning contract with AchieveIt using grant funds, a Schneider Geospatial services agreement, grant applications for SNAP‑Ed and primary substance use prevention, and an employment search contract with Yeo & Yeo.
The Berrien County Board of Commissioners voted to approve the meeting’s consent calendar, which contained routine financial items and several notable agreements and grant applications.
Items listed on the consent calendar included resolutions for monthly per diems and bills; multiple opioid settlement agreements (including with Remnant defendants); a license agreement with Corewell; a contract with AchieveIt to conduct strategic planning using grant funds; an agreement with Schneider Geospatial LLC to improve services; and approval to apply for SNAP‑Ed funding and a Primary Substance Use Prevention Grant. The board also approved an employment search contract with Yeo & Yeo.
Commissioner Chokwe Pitchford moved to approve the consent calendar and Commissioner David Vollrath supported the motion; the Clerk recorded nine yeas and no nays. The approvals were adopted as routine consent and did not generate separate discussion or individual votes on each item at this meeting.
