Board approves $304,723 in expenditures and pays bills; one abstention recorded
Summary
The board approved county expenditures of $304,723 for the period April 2–9, 2026; a check payable to Alger Delta Co-op prompted an abstention by Commissioner Alholm, and commissioners discussed jail housing and canteen costs during the bills review.
The Marquette County Board approved payment of claims and accounts totaling $304,723 for the period of April 2 through April 9, 2026.
The clerk read the total: "Review of claims and accounts, total expenditures paid via check and EFT transfer for the period of 04/02/2026 through 04/09/2026, were $304,723." Commissioners asked questions about several line items, including jail-occupancy costs and canteen charges. A check (no. 238248) dated April 10 for $537.61 payable to Alger Delta Co-op drew an abstention from Commissioner Alholm because she sits on that organization's board; the motion to pay bills otherwise passed.
The board discussed jail housing contracts and noted the county’s budgeted jail housing amount for the current year is $440,000 and that inter-jail housing costs represent a line-item concern. No further fiscal action was taken beyond approving the listed claims.
