Gladwin County adopts 2025 note-borrowing resolution, OKs training and facility purchases

The Gladwin County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 25-003, a 2025 note-borrowing measure presented by Treasurer Christy VanTiem, during the Feb. 11, 2025 regular meeting. The board also approved several departmental expenditures and authorized use of the county credit card for staff training and reservations.

VanTiem requested use of the County credit card so employees could attend training and reserve lodging; the board approved that request on a motion by Commissioner Tom Winarski, supported by Commissioner Alan Donaldson. The board approved electrical work in the Circuit Court judges' and secretaries' office at a cost of $2,239.95 (charged to line 101-900-970.265), the purchase of a video monitor for the new judicial secretary office for $1,130, and a new phone and phone line for $2,734.89 (line 101-297-850.000). The Tire purchase for the Construction Codes vehicle for $687.24 (line 101-371-932.00) was also approved.

The motions to adopt the borrowing resolution and to authorize each expenditure were made by Commissioners as recorded in the minutes and were carried by voice vote; minutes record "Ayes carried, motion passed." These items were discussed under Department Head and Finance Reports during the meeting. The board's approvals allow staff to proceed with the purchases and booking related training and lodging.
