[3:23] Number nine. Public comment on agenda

[3:29] Public comment on agenda items.
>> Is there anything on the phone?
[3:34] » No. Seeing none hearing none, we will
move on to number 10, committee reports,
[3:41] administration, administrators report.
>> Thank you. Uh the federal office of
[3:46] management and budget has proposed a
governmentwide rewrite of the
[3:49] regulations governing federal financial
assistance of under two CFR part 200.
[3:56] Nicole recently submitted comments on
the proposal, raising concerns about
[4:00] increased administrative requirements,
uncertainty surrounding federal funding
[4:04] commitments, and potential financial
exposure for counties. Uh, these changes
[4:10] could create significant uncertainty for
counties that enter into contracts,
[4:14] limit local resources for or advance
funds based on a federal award. MAC is
[4:20] urging county commissioners to contact
your house member uh to write support to
[4:23] the Senate uh including the provisions
delaying the OM's uniform guidance rule
[4:29] until December 11th. A group went out to
Pine Pioneer Trail Park to examine the
[4:35] proposed path for the non-motorized
connection between Eskanaba uh Wells
[4:39] Township in Gladstone. It was determined
to be a feasible plan by the engineers
[4:44] that were there and uh in attendance for
the walkthrough. At this point, the
[4:48] county has funds through the Hannibville
2% grant to be able to start on
[4:52] preliminary surveying of the area uh to
see if there's any necessary easements
[4:57] that are going to have to be discussed
um and put in place. So, there will be
[5:02] more to come with that in the future.
Um, I would like to formally thank Brad
[5:06] Nelson and Joe Burby who uh were helpful
and instrumental um after the OB Fuller
[5:13] Park tornado uh for their quick response
and huge help that they lent the
[5:18] maintenance crew that night um right
after it had come through. They jumped
[5:22] into action as an emergency response to
help open up the roads, get the campers
[5:26] who were trapped in the park uh to be
able to um exit the park if necessary.
[5:31] So without their assistance, I know in
talking to our maintenance department,
[5:35] it would have taken a lot longer time in
order to get those roads opened up. So
[5:39] we really appreciate uh their assistance
in that and their volunteerism.
[5:44] Um as the fair was underway last month,
the fair authority held a ribbon cutting
[5:48] ceremony for the new bath house that was
finished as part of the DNR trust fund
[5:52] grant that was administered by the
county. That grant was originally put in
[5:56] place in 2019. Um so officially the bath
house is done. It's finished. It's
[6:02] operational. Um, so thank you to Dan
Black with Dynamic Design and Matt
[6:06] Balakut with the chamber for helping to
see this grant through and finish off
[6:10] the project. We will just have one final
reimbursement that I will help
[6:14] administer through the grant and then we
can officially close that grant out um
[6:18] with the trust fund. So I'm happy to
announce that. Thank you.
[6:22] » Perfect.
>> Okay. Thank you.
[6:23] » Can I get a motion to put the
administrator's report on file?
[6:27] » So moved.
>> Support. Any questions? All in favor?
[6:32] » I.
>> Anybody opposed? Motion pass.
[6:37] Number two, finance minutes of 8 20.
>> So, Commissioner Williams and I met
[6:44] along with our administrator and
controller. Um we will be discussing
[6:49] both of those items as it was uh the
motion was set and carried to bring both
[6:56] the RFPs forward which are items five
and six in our agenda.
[7:03] Can I get a motion to put the finance
minutes on file?
[7:09] » So move support.
>> All in favor?
[7:13] » I.
>> Anybody opposed? Motion passed. Number
[7:16] three, departmental updates. Any
departmental updates?
[7:22] Any departmental updates? Seeing none,
we will move on to unfinished business.
[7:30] Number one is the airport resolution and
bylaws.
[9:06] just a lot to to look at here.
[9:12] There's two options. Is there is do we
know if there's one option over the
[9:17] other? That's
um
[9:21] Yeah. Yeah. Is that okay if we if we
haven't come up?
[9:24] » I'd like to make a motion that we put
aside Robert's rules of order u for the
[9:28] discussion and uh hopefully completion
of um the uh bylaws and the um
[9:38] » resolution
>> resolution. [laughter]
[9:41] Thank you. I also just wanted to say
it's like halfway through that packet of
[9:45] information on that there's is agenda
item request form that kind of
[9:49] summarizes and then there are three
different options following that that
[9:54] were presented from the airport advisory
board.
[9:56] » Okay,
[10:00] got a motion. We had a second.
>> Mhm.
[10:05] » All in favor?
>> I
[10:08] » welcome. [laughter]
>> Thank you. I I was just sitting back
[10:11] there. I wanted you guys to kind of read
through it and digest it before I come
[10:14] up here and start talking. Um, so to
answer your question, Commissioner
[10:18] Williams, we really don't have a
preference. We kind of brainstormed and
[10:23] laid out options for the quandry were in
now where through a combination of
[10:28] districtricting and a move, we now have
two members on the advisory board, both
[10:33] from your district, and we as of today
with one open seat have two
[10:36] unrepresented districts. So the advisory
board along with Ashley and Gina, we
[10:43] came up with three options.
The the first option
[10:49] basically leaves the board how it is
with the one caveat is
[10:55] making the five appointed members at
large with the goal of filling
[11:01] economic development, frequent
travelers, general aviation, commercial
[11:05] aviation, the travel industry, which
today we have three of those five
[11:10] covered. In the past, we had all five
covered, but in all reality, I don't
[11:14] know that we ever will be able to fill
all five simultaneously.
[11:19] Um,
option two
[11:26] adds two seats to the board. So, it
would be two commissioner members,
[11:34] one from each district, and then two at
large to fill in skill gaps.
[11:41] Option three
removes one commissioner seat and adds
[11:48] in an atlarge. You know, and the reason
why we threw that in there is there are
[11:52] other advisories or andor authorities in
the county that only have one
[11:56] commissioner on them.
>> Mhm.
[11:58] » Um I don't have Steve's research with me
prior to our last advisory meeting. For
[12:04] those of you that know Steve, do you
know he's a pencil and paper kind of
[12:07] guy? So he had a whole bunch of notes
written down. And one of the things he
[12:12] found is that a lot of the small
community airports such as our own that
[12:18] created advisory boards at the same time
Delta County created the advisory board
[12:23] that did one from every district, which
is the law for the authority because the
[12:31] authority is spending money. But in the
KC advisory, we're not we're not
[12:36] spending money and the state law that
dictates
[12:41] creation of the advisory states that the
advisory fill skill sets that you need.
[12:47] You know, so for example, some of our
larger airports have 10 15 advisory
[12:52] boards and they all focus on their one
little part of the airport. Obviously,
[12:55] we don't justify that. So, we have one
advisory board that focuses on the
[12:59] entire airport. But a lot of those
airports, Pelston,
[13:05] um, Tra, believe it or not, Traverse
City created an advisory board at one
[13:09] point in time. A lot of those smaller
airports have went from the we're going
[13:14] to have someone in every district
because you take a county like ours, we
[13:18] have a couple districts that are pretty
small geographically, and we have one
[13:22] district that's like two-thirds of the
county because they're split up by
[13:26] » population.
>> Population. So, you know, some of these
[13:30] areas it's hard to find people that want
to serve. So, you know, the idea was is
[13:35] that
we find people that fill the, you know,
[13:39] fill fill the knowledge gaps we have,
you know, that gives us the point of
[13:43] view that we're looking for,
you know, and obviously we don't want to
[13:47] pack the board with people from the city
of Eskanaba because they're all willing
[13:51] to serve because it's a 15-minute walk
from their house to the airport. But,
[13:57] you know, we do need to have the
flexibility to make sure we keep people
[14:01] with the skill sets we have in place,
you know. So, we're we're throwing these
[14:06] out here as three options for you guys
to pick one. And then, you know, we had
[14:11] our joint meeting last month and went
over bylaws and we decided we're going
[14:16] to put a pin in the bylaws until, you
know, because really you have four
[14:19] options. you have these three
[clears throat] before you or your other
[14:23] option is no action which will lead to
someone leaving the board. Um,
[14:29] you know, so it's kind of your choice.
We really don't have a preference. I
[14:32] know some of you have preferences one
way or the other, but that's for you to
[14:37] decide. H um I I like option two myself
because I like the fact that there still
[14:44] would be a representative potentially
from one of the districts, but it leaves
[14:49] open these two at large members that can
be a skill set they're looking for. Um
[14:56] so it kind of leaves in place what we
have but adds two members. And if we
[15:00] want, if our goal is to, you know,
develop our airport, grow our airport,
[15:06] really see our airport, move in a in a
new direction, I think having additional
[15:11] people around the table might be a good
thing. Um, so I like option two myself.
[15:17] » Same.
>> So the the one tidbit
[15:21] that I want to throw out there is if we
do option two, it makes it a nine person
[15:24] board. It moves the quorum threshold
from four to five.
[15:27] » Mhm. which in the last couple years has
not been a problem, but in the past I
[15:34] have had problem meeting a fourperson
quorum. So if we if we get them filled,
[15:39] great. I don't see an issue. My concern
is if we say, "Okay, we're going to go
[15:42] nine and then we wait six months to fill
the three open the now three open seats
[15:48] because people don't come forward."
>> I think we have several I think we have
[15:51] several applications that have come
forward in the last couple of months.
[15:54] We've had several
>> and we have commissioners that are very
[15:57] dedicated.
>> Yeah.
[16:00] » I'm going to bite my tongue. [laughter]
[16:04] [snorts]
>> Yeah. Yeah. If you if you have a list of
[16:07] people want to serve, I that issue goes
away.
[16:10] » Yeah. Yeah.
>> But I know in the past we've had
[16:12] trouble, you know, we've had seats sit
open because we have a hard time getting
[16:15] someone to come forward.
>> I would like us to consider um going
[16:19] down to one commissioner. I don't feel
it necessary to have two commissioners
[16:25] on our boards. Um,
you know, we have one commissioner on
[16:31] the planning commission. We have one
commissioner for plenty of our other
[16:37] boards. Correct. VS.
>> Well, some are statute. It's two
[16:40] commissioners. And I don't know.
>> Is this by statute?
[16:42] » Yeah. I don't I don't know off the top
of my head. Do you know if I think it
[16:45] was in statute?
>> Um, I can look it up real quick, but I
[16:49] don't mind. thought it actually was.
>> But like parks and wreck is too because
[16:53] it's statute. I think
>> I'll have to say advisory if it's an
[16:58] authority there maybe, but I'm not sure
if with the advis if it's an advisory.
[17:01] » Yeah, I don't think the aeronautical law
stipulates any.
[17:04] » Okay.
>> Okay.
[17:05] » I won't look it up then.
[17:10] Again, I would just go back to, you
know, developing our um airport and and
[17:17] really wanting to focus energy on the
airport. I actually like the fact that
[17:21] there's two commissioners on it. Okay.
But, you know, that's that's my opinion
[17:25] as of right now. I just I feel like
we're really moving in the right
[17:28] direction with the airport right now.
And I I like I like the representation
[17:33] » on the board. I like the fact that we
would be adding additional people to to
[17:37] really help um just move it, you know.
move the needle there. So,
[17:41] » okay, great.
>> I wouldn't say that. I was also kind of
[17:46] leaning towards three just because of
the try to thin it down, try to be
[17:50] budget-minded. But, um, Commissioner
Williams, I do see your point as far as
[17:54] like, hey, if we have the people that
are willing in the spots, like that's
[17:57] awesome.
>> Yeah.
[17:59] » Especially Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I was
going to say
[18:02] » neither Michigan law or federal law
require two commissioners.
[18:06] » Okay. Thank you. I was going to say the
especially since we're how we've already
[18:10] looked at wanting to be able to expand
and develop um as we move forward that
[18:16] also brings in those additional
resources knowledge base wise to help
[18:22] help facilitate that.
[18:28] » Well, I would make a motion that we
adopt option two to uh edit.
[18:34] Oh, we have to [laughter]
>> do we have to have a motion to come out
[18:38] of
>> Yeah. Could Could I make that motion to
[18:41] come back into Robert's rules of order?
>> Support.
[18:44] » All in favor?
>> I.
[18:46] » And then I would make the motion to
adopt option two, which would edit our
[18:52] um resolution that created the airport
advisory board
[18:58] to, and I'm just going to grab the
language real quick so I get it right.
[19:11] uh that would consist of nine. The
airport advisory board would consist of
[19:16] nine members, two of whom shall be
members of the county board of
[19:19] commissioners, two of whom shall reside
in Delta County and fill one of the
[19:23] skill sets in the above forementioned
resolution and five other
[19:27] non-commissioners who are citizens and
current residents of Delta County. And
[19:31] then the five members are one from each
district.
[19:34] » So basically it would be option two as
presented.
[19:40] » Nope.
>> Any more discussion?
[19:45] Roll call, please.
[19:50] » Commissioner Johnson?
>> Yes.
[19:52] » Commissioner Williams?
>> Yes.
[19:53] » Commissioner Vancen Hovind?
>> Yes.
[19:54] » Commissioner Jensen?
>> Yes.
[19:56] » And Commissioner Milner?
>> Yes. Okay.
[20:00] » Thank you. We are going with option.
>> Thank you for your work, Brian.
[20:12] » Oh, let's see here.
[20:21] Down to number two. Or is there another
motion on that?
[20:26] » No.
>> Bylaws.
[20:27] » No, that was it.
>> That was it.
[20:28] » Okay. Now they'll come back now that we
have that part and now we'll uh work on
[20:33] the resolution and the bylaws getting
them all squared away.
[20:36] » Number two, appointment to
uh airport advisory board. One opening
[20:43] now there's
>> now there's two opening. Three
[20:46] » three.
>> So which districts do we have open right
[20:49] now
>> on the airport advisor?
[20:53] » Yeah. So we have the two at large
members. Correct. And then
[20:58] » Okay. Thank you, Brian, cuz it's just
been so
[21:01] » so scrambled.
>> The current people we have on the board
[21:03] now are myself and Will K who are in
Christine's district.
[21:08] » Dee is in your district and Steve is in
Pat's.
[21:11] » Okay.
>> So, that leaves John and Matt's
[21:13] districts open.
>> Don John and Matt's and which numbers
[21:16] are you?
>> One and five.
[21:17] » One and five. And we have we have an
applicant from district five
[21:22] and we have um an applicant from
district three. And the applicant from
[21:27] district three,
>> we have two applicants from district
[21:30] three.
>> Oh, I'm sorry. There are Yes.
[21:33] » But we already have one of the members
who is going to be considered the
[21:38] atlarge member for district 3. So we
have a district one, a district five,
[21:44] and a district three opening. Mhm.
>> And we have an applicant from district
[21:48] five.
>> So we have two from district three and
[21:50] one from district five. Y So two
appointments could technically be made
[21:54] tonight. Correct.
>> Mhm.
[21:56] » Okay.
[22:03] I'm going to make a motion that we
appoint um William Taylor to the airport
[22:09] advisory board.
>> Support.
[22:14] » Any discussion?
All in favor?
[22:17] » I.
>> Anybody opposed? Motion pass. I'm

>> Support.
[22:30] Any discussion?
>> All in favor?
[22:33] » I.

recommend payment of the following and
[23:52] that the county clerk be directed to
issue orders on the county treasur to
[23:55] the claimants for the amounts allowed.
We have a grand total of bills of

All your actual bills in your packet,
[24:34] everything is as presented that you

[24:38] correction for the total amount of
claims.
[24:41] Move to correct
>> support. All in favor?

>> Chalissa is not here. No, I don't think
[25:07] there's anything we can do about this.
This is kind of like we just [laughter]
[25:10] accept this and move on. Yeah.
>> Um, yeah. So, I would uh move to set the
[25:16] 2026 winter tax rate at 3.6860.
>> Support.
[25:25] » All in favor?
>> I.
[25:28] » Anybody opposed? Motion passed.

[25:51] approve. It's a pro it's $600 to cover
from start to end of project that they
[25:57] can grade that corner by the um the
Chamber of Commerce. It's it's basically
[26:02] just allowing them to grade that and it
starts the beginning of the project, it
[26:06] ends at the end of the project and
they're just paying us for that. So, I
[26:09] would move to approve.
>> I'll support.
[26:11] » All in favor?
>> I.
[26:13] » Anybody oppose? Motion passed. Number
five, RFP audit.
[26:23] » So, this was forwarded from the finance
committee. It was our recommendation
[26:27] that we put an RFP out for auditing
auditing services um for the fiscal
[26:36] years 26 through 28 um the attached RFPs
with it. Uh the biggest rational is that
[26:43] it's it's one of those that it's
recommended periodically just to change
[26:47] up your auditor so that you have
different sets of eyes looking at it.
[26:52] Okay. I'll move to put out the RFP as
recommended by the finance committee.
[26:58] » Support. Okay. Any discussion?
>> Just one question. Um, do I understand
[27:03] that in this RFP we have a little bit
more dates, so we have a little more
[27:07] teeth as far as like you get this done
at a certain time.
[27:10] » Yeah.
>> Perfect.
[27:13] » Any more discussion? All in favor?
>> I.
[27:18] » Anybody oppose? Motion passed.
Number six, RFP investigator invest
[27:26] » investor. Sorry.
Let me pull that bone back here.
[27:32] Sorry, grabbed the wrong one. Um, it was
the recommendation the finance committee
[27:37] has sent forward um to pursue an RFP for
an investment firm. Um that's to assist
[27:43] in taking over identifying [laughter]
benefit uh accounts um from the former
[27:49] employer which we previously asked our
administrator to look into. This would
[27:53] be part of that step
or part of that process.
[28:00] » You make a motion.
>> Sure. I I'll move that we um accept the
[28:05] RFP
accept putting out an RFP for an
[28:09] investment firm to assist in taking over
the defined benefit accounts.

>> Okay. Any discussion?
[28:18] » All in favor?
>> I.
[28:20] » Anybody opposed? Motion passed. Number
seven, RFP opioid fund deadline
[28:26] extension.
[28:32] » This is a request that um I had put on
the agenda uh so that we could extend
[28:38] the date of accepting um RFP submitts
due to uh an issue we had getting the
[28:48] grant on or the grant application on the
website. Uh I spoke with uh
[28:53] administrator Dalvo and this will not
interrupt any of our um processing any
[29:00] of our um quarterly reportings anything
like that. So um they will still come in
[29:07] October.
>> Okay. I would move that we uh approve
[29:12] the request from the opioid task force
to extend the deadline to September
[29:18] 25th, 2026
with their review on October 2nd, 2026.
[29:24] » Support.

[29:59] Number nine, special assistant
prosecutor attorney.
[30:06] I see the prosecutors here. If we have
any questions, we can
[30:14] I thought this was a a great way to
solve a problem trying to find someone
[30:19] locally and being able to use the
resources that we have to connect uh
[30:23] remotely and and get the work done. So,
I I thought this was a great solution to
[30:28] a problem. So,
[30:32] » I agree.
[30:37] You need a motion to accept.
>> I would make a motion to accept the
[30:41] special assistant prosecuting attorney
uh contract as presented.
[30:45] » I'll support.
>> Okay. Any discussion?
[30:49] » All in favor?

[31:36] » Anybody opposed? Motion passed. Number
12. Veterans Affair Committee bylaws
[31:43] amended.
>> I would recommend that we table this
[31:46] until the next meeting. Um the Veterans
Affairs Board did meet last week. They
[31:52] discussed this, but what
[cough and clears throat] came about is
[31:54] that we do have um a termination from
the original adoption of the committee
[32:02] and of the bylaws. But what the bylaws
are lacking are actual term limits for
[32:08] newly uh appointed or renewed um uh
placement on the committee. So we need
[32:14] to adjust that and we also need to
define what a vacancy is because per the
[32:19] statute for that committee uh they have
very particular um requirements for how
[32:24] we go out and advertise for that
committee. So we need to include that as
[32:28] well in the bylaws. Um that portion of
it was not included for the Veterans
[32:33] Affairs Committee to take a look at at
their last meeting. I would just request
[32:37] that we extend it until um our October
meeting so that they have a chance to
[32:42] look at that and give a recommendation
to the board.
[32:44] » That sounds good to me.
>> Yeah. I would move to table the Veteran
[32:48] Affairs Committee bylaws amendment until
after their October meeting
[32:54] » September. They meet the last Thursday
in September. So your first meeting in
[32:57] October, we will have a recommendation
by that time.
[33:00] » So then I'll have it for our Let me
correct that motion then. I would move
[33:05] that we defer the Veteran Affairs
Committee bylaw amendment until our
[33:09] first meeting in October.
>> Support. Okay. All in favor?
[33:14] » I.
>> Anybody opposed? Motion passed.
[33:17] » Do have things I'll send to you as well
and then you can send to Perfect. Thank
[33:21] you.

[34:20] and a safe fair. So, thank you to
everybody that came out and helped
[34:24] support that. Commissioner Williams,

lot of participation from our employees
[34:36] uh and and friends and it was just uh
really successful. It was a it was a
[34:40] great [cough]
um I had a lot of fun in the fair booth.
[34:43] I had a lot of great questions. Uh
there's a lot of information that I
[34:47] think we can add for next year that we
didn't have information that people had
[34:52] asked for. So, I think that we uh can we
can just continue to improve it. Uh but
[34:56] I do want to thank the employees and uh
either their friends and spouses who
[35:02] helped um uh to to be in that booth
