Summary
The Clare County board approved several grants (a $9,698 wide-scan fingerprint purchase and $32,953.91 in airport grants), adopted brownfield procurement policies, voted to opt out of state PA 152 and approved a Blue Care Network health plan. The board also heard budget and airport funding requests.
The Clare County Board of Commissioners approved several motions during its meeting, including the acceptance of a $9,698 state grant to buy a wide-scan fingerprinting unit and a $32,953.91 Michigan Department of Transportation Bureau of Aeronautics package for an LED airport beacon and seal-surface pavement work.
The board also moved and carried a packet of revised bylaws and procurement policies for the Garrett Blair County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, and advanced budget planning items in preparation for a September 16 budget vote.
The meeting included two notable policy votes. First, the board voted to opt out of Public Act 152 (the state's cost-sharing statute for local government health plans). On the roll call for the opt-out motion, the transcript records the following votes: Bill Mark — No; Ross — Yes; Haskell — Yes; Oldway — Yes; Oster — Yes; ET — Yes; Einar — No. The motion carried.
After that roll call the board approved the Blue Care Network (Blue Cross Blue Shield) plan as presented. The motion to adopt the BlueCare Network plan passed with standard 'aye' voice votes recorded on the floor.
Other procedural actions recorded in the meeting included the approval of the agenda and a final motion to adjourn. The meeting minutes show each motion was made, seconded and put to a voice vote unless otherwise noted.
