Commissioners approved Resolution 2026-01 to lift the county hiring freeze so the COA Director may fill an in-home service worker vacancy; vote was unanimous.

The Kalkaska County Board approved Resolution 2026-01 to lift the hiring freeze and permit the Commission on Aging (COA) Director to fill an in‑home service worker vacancy. Commissioner Scott Matley moved for approval; the roll-call vote was 7-0.
