Commissioners approve $1.8M in additional payments, several hires and a temporary prosecutor agreement
Summary
The board approved FA021 additional general fund checks totaling $1,811,007.03, budget amendments, and several personnel actions including a temporary assistant prosecuting attorney letter of understanding at up to $40/hour for up to 90 days.
The Sanilac County Board of Commissioners approved a bundle of finance and personnel items. The board approved FA021: additional general fund bank account checks charged to January 2025 totaling $1,811,007.03 ($1,304,291.22 in ACH payments and $507,418.78 in checks). Commissioners also approved budget amendments and an increase of up to $9,259.30 to the medical examiner appropriation for operating costs.
On personnel, the board authorized posting and filling several county clerk and magistrate positions and approved a letter of understanding (FA029) to hire temporary employee Carolyn Stautenberg as assistant prosecuting attorney at up to $40 per hour for no more than 30 hours per week and up to 90 days; the board noted the temporary appointment carries no benefits and results in short-term savings despite a pay deviation from the regular scale.
Why it matters: the approvals include large disbursements and short-term personnel arrangements that affect the county’s near-term cash flow and legal staffing; the temporary prosecutor hire was described as necessary to maintain office operations while searches continue.
