Summary
The Manistee County E911 Board discussed whether to declare a Local State of Emergency following damage from April flash flooding. Deputy Director Alvin Rischel provided updates; the minutes record discussion but show no motion or vote on declaring an emergency.
On April 15, 2026, the Manistee County E911 Board discussed whether to declare a Local State of Emergency after damage sustained in the April flash flooding. The minutes record that "discussion was held on Declaring a Local State of Emergency from the damage sustained in the April Flash Flooding." The Board did not record a motion or vote on an emergency declaration in the minutes.
Deputy Director Alvin Rischel provided the Board with updates related to the April flash flooding that served as the basis for the discussion. The meeting record does not include quantified damage totals, specific affected addresses, or required emergency expenditures; the entry notes only that an update was given and that the Board discussed a potential declaration.
Because no formal action is recorded in the minutes, the question of declaring an emergency remains a matter for a future meeting or a separate formal motion. Board members and staff may return with additional information, but the minutes do not show a next scheduled vote or directive tied to the discussion.
