Sheriff Ryan Swope told commissioners the department finalized an agreement with Frederic Township to provide non-emergent ambulance transports, a change expected to save taxpayers approximately $250–$300 per trip. He said the department will still use MMR for emergency transports.
Swope also reported an ORV grant award that will be used to purchase an enclosed side-by-side vehicle for county use. The board agreed to publish a list of items to auction; the motion to publish was made by Commissioner Moore and recorded as seconded by "Dorothy" in the transcript (the second's role is not specified in the meeting record). Swope noted the recent "Flee and Elude" event drew 63 attendees despite poor weather.
