Summary

The board approved the meeting agenda and later denied a FOIA appeal related to GIS parcel data; the FOIA denial was a 5-0 roll-call vote. No other formal actions were recorded in this session.

At the start of the meeting the board took a motion to approve the agenda as presented; the motion was supported and the chair called for the voice vote, which passed.

Later in the meeting the board considered a FOIA appeal filed by Justin Myers regarding the countys parcel layer and tax-attribute data. After civil counsel recommended the board deny the appeal under Michigan's Enhanced Access to Public Records Act, the board voted by roll call: Commissioners Nordine, Elholm, Newman and Benzie and Chairperson DiRocia voted yes to deny the appeal, producing a 5-0 outcome.

Nut graf: The two recorded formal actions in the session were routine: approval of the meeting agenda and the denial of the FOIA appeal. The FOIA vote is the substantive action with a recorded roll-call tally; the board did not take additional formal votes recorded in the transcript.
