[2:24]
» Um last week I attended the Talk So Stop
program or presentation at Marlette High
[2:29]
School. Um
pretty disappointed in the turnout.
[2:33]
There were
probably 40 to 50 people there.
[2:37]
Um after hearing what the gentleman had
to say, every parent in the county
[2:40]
should have been there.
The stuff that's available to their kids
[2:43]
in these stores will blow your mind.
The potency of the stuff that's on the
[2:48]
shelf that's legal,
more powerful than heroin, which isn't
[2:52]
even a thing anymore,
but it's being sold retail and uh
[2:57]
hopefully people will
the that were there will share the
[3:00]
information and get it out there so
they're aware of what's available.
[3:04]
And that's all I have for right now.
>> Thank you, Roger. Gary?
[3:08]
» Well, my meetings haven't happened, but
uh tonight is Watertown Township. Uh
[3:12]
tomorrow night is Moore Township. Uh the
15th is Custer Township and uh next
[3:16]
Monday is uh City of Sandusky. And
Nathan, um the
[3:21]
uh plan that we put together for MMPC, I
don't know if the townships have got
[3:26]
that yet, so I did send that plan out
that Mike sent you and I. Uh I sent that
[3:31]
to the townships so at least they can
read through it before they get the
[3:33]
letter from Mike.
>> Okay.
[3:37]
» I'm I'm done.
>> Okay. Thank you, Gary. Bill?
[3:39]
» I have nothing to report.
>> Okay. Christine?
[3:42]
» I had Peck and their clerk treasurer
resigned, so they're looking for a new
[3:46]
person.
Streets and sidewalks on the north side
[3:50]
is done.
They had a family fun day and September
[3:54]
they're going to have a senior luncheon
on September 24th.
[3:59]
And the DPW is looking to sell some of
their larger generators and get some
[4:04]
smaller suitcase size generators so
it'll be easier to
[4:08]
haul them around.
And then they're planning some
[4:14]
moratoriums for dispensary data centers
and solar farms.
[4:20]
And that's it for Peck. And then I had
Elk Township.
[4:26]
And again, I'm learning more about
gravel and we talked about brush
[4:30]
spraying there and everything else seems
to be going good there. And that's it.
[4:34]
Okay. Thank you, Christine.
A couple weeks ago in our planning
[4:37]
commission meeting, Marion Township had
a complete revised ordinance that we
[4:40]
reviewed and I had contact with them in
the last couple of weeks and they're
[4:44]
pretty appreciative of the feedback they
got from us. So they're going to go
[4:47]
ahead and move forward and get it all in
place. So that's all. Okay.
[4:50]
That's all I have.
>> Evans?
[4:52]
Um I attended a uh meet and greet with
Senator Slacking last week on Wednesday,
[4:57]
I believe it was.
Uh for the brief conversation I had with
[5:00]
her, it went well and I thought she was
a nice person.
[5:04]
» Okay. Very good. Thank you, Evans. John?
>> Um on the 27th I had Fremont Township.
[5:11]
Uh on October 10th they have a Halloween
party at their hall
[5:16]
from noon to 2:00. Anybody's invited,
don't have to live in that Township.
[5:21]
Um
they had two permits pulled for the
[5:25]
month, one house and one pole barn for
their zoning.
[5:29]
They hired a second attorney
um
[5:32]
to do some of their other work besides
solar and wind.
[5:36]
Uh they need to buy a new Township
computer and they did two they agreed to
[5:40]
do two uh
ditch cleanups.
[5:45]
On the 19th I had Worth Township.
[5:49]
They appointed a new trustee to fill
Byron Wilson's spot, and that's Roger
[5:55]
Combs.
[5:59]
They decreased their
water connection fees and their sewer
[6:05]
connection fees.
They're getting a bid to do electrical
[6:10]
running out to their new sign that
they're getting.
[6:14]
Accepted the resignation of Doug Varty,
and they're going to be looking for a
[6:17]
new
trustee to fill his position shortly.
[6:21]
And that's all I have.
>> Okay. Thank you, John.
[6:25]
Appreciate everyone's commissioner
reports. Nathan, your administrator
[6:28]
report, please.
>> All right.
[6:30]
First off, to echo Evan's sentiments,
attended the meet and greet with Senator
[6:38]
Slama and Lexington. There was an
economic meeting the following morning
[6:43]
that was hosted out there kind of
showcasing some of what's going on in
[6:46]
Lexington, seeing what potentially maybe
she could support. And then she came up
[6:52]
here in the afternoon to tour the
McKenzie Hospital, and there was a
[6:55]
meeting there.
She did talk about earmark funding and
[7:00]
you know, things that could
help
[7:03]
when they're looking at
those earmarks and who to support and
[7:07]
she really talked about solidarity
between you know, cities, counties,
[7:13]
the entities involved. She said when
there's that solidarity that makes them
[7:17]
feel very confident that the funds will
go to good use and everybody's kind of a
[7:21]
united front working
on the same
[7:26]
wavelength. So, that was good to hear.
Meeting last night at PAC at the Harvest
[7:34]
Hall in regards to the Riverbend Wind
Project.
[7:38]
There was
I I say a huge turnout, but there was a
[7:42]
a a decent crowd. It went from 4:30 to
7:00, so there was a
[7:47]
variety of uh
residents that trickled in, asked
[7:50]
questions. Uh they had the whole project
up on boards outlining
[7:55]
um
the plan, outlining
[7:59]
uh concerns, all of those things. And
they had folks from
[8:03]
the company there to answer questions,
so
[8:07]
talked to a few of the township
officials in
[8:10]
uh Fremont and Speaker and uh yeah, it
was it was nice to see them there, so.
[8:17]
And last thing was we had a conference 2
weeks ago. Um um
[8:21]
There were some good sessions uh
attended on leadership. Uh one of them
[8:25]
focused on working with folks through
different generation and the the
[8:29]
generational challenges and the way
different generations operate in the
[8:32]
workplace. And uh another uh session
focused on just kind of being able to
[8:38]
stay positive through adversity in the
workplace. So, some good sessions. Um
[8:42]
it's always valuable to attend, so.
>> Glad you got those in.
[8:45]
» Yeah. Thank you. And that's all I have.
>> Any questions for Nathan?
[8:49]
Seeing none, we'll move on.
[8:53]
That's going to take us to public
comments pertaining to the agenda. Are
[8:55]
there any public comments pertaining to
the agenda today?
[9:00]
Seeing none,
we're going to move on.
[9:03]
Next up is uh we're going to open a
public hearing for the Michigan
[9:06]
Community Development Block Grant
funding for Sanilac County Emergency
[9:09]
Homeowner Rehabilitation. And I'm going
to call for public comment pertaining to
[9:13]
that. Is there any public comment for
the public hearing pertaining to the
[9:16]
Michigan Community Development Block
Grant funding for Sanilac County
[9:19]
Emergency Homeowner Rehabilitation?
Seeing none, going to move on.
[9:25]
I see no need for 13A or 13B or 14 for
appointments to boards. So, that's going
[9:30]
to move us right into general
resolutions. And today we have one
[9:33]
honoring Trudy Bowers for years of
service. Trudy, welcome.
[9:38]
We has a resolution here.
She even has a frame for you.
[9:45]

[9:49]
boys.
Yeah, she I live in Elk Township. It's
[9:53]
nice to have her here to
read this for me today.
[9:57]
» And we kind of coordinate.
>> I know. Here, why would I

be a banana here?
>> You go blind over there.

>> Um this 26th, I had uh emergency
[13:25]
management. We just went over um the
quick reference guide that um
[13:32]
Greg is making up.
And just talked about um
[13:37]
one incident that would happened in
Port Sanilac. There was a
[13:41]
some
batteries spilled out of the back of
[13:44]
someone's car and
spilled a just a little bit of
[13:48]
uh uh
acid, but it was cleaned all up good.
[13:53]
Um that's it for that. And then on the
24th I had medical care facility.
[14:02]
They're need
uh two LPNs and one maintenance worker
[14:07]
right now. They're short.
Um they're working on a new building
[14:10]
project to
actually put new sidewalks and new
[14:14]
parking and stuff out in front of the
building there. They're going to
[14:18]
the board passed it. Well, they've
already got their bids and everything,
[14:22]
so that should be starting shortly.
Um they did a survey of the families and
[14:30]
employees and that went really well.
And that's about it.
[14:35]
» Okay.
>> Thank you, John. That's all I have.
[14:37]
» Nothing new to report?
>> All right. Um personnel met this
[14:40]
morning. You guys will see something
coming through from personnel in a
[14:42]
couple of weeks. It's related to um
uh central dispatch.
[14:47]
We had created a deputy director
position when Don was on her way out for
[14:52]
Crystal.
And Crystal's short on a
[14:56]
getting people and she's a lot of
overtime issues that they're having. So,
[14:59]
we're looking to transition that deputy
position just back to a normal
[15:02]
dispatcher to help her out with that.
That's something everybody will see in a
[15:04]
couple of weeks. Other than that, we had
any commission met 2 weeks ago. Uh we
[15:09]
reviewed a fair amount of PA 116
applications and a few ordinances.
[15:13]
That's all I have. Christine?
>> I also would like to state that I also
[15:18]
attended that
Senator Slapkin's meet and greet and I
[15:21]
thought she was very down to earth. Um
I ended up getting a picture with her.
[15:26]
» Gary
>> And then I went to my township meeting,
[15:30]
and they were talking about I told them
why I was late, and so I already passed
[15:34]
that information on how to get a hold to
the Oak Township Fire Department.
[15:38]
» Okay, very good. Well, I know Gary
matters cuz I saw a picture of the two
[15:41]
sitting next to each other, so.
>> But that was me.
[15:45]
» Yeah.
Is that August C?
[15:48]
» Yes, I'm there.
>> Okay, no, you're good. Thank you.
[15:50]
» Bill
Um just a couple things. I uh
[15:53]
participated in a Zoom for the pension
board cuz they needed to have a quorum.
[15:58]
Um I was heavily sedated, but I did get
my name out there, so at least she could
[16:01]
count me count me in, so they met had
their quorum. And then um after this
[16:06]
uh I was no longer heavily sedated, I
did participate
[16:09]
in a MAC budget uh Zoom meeting that
they had some training for, and uh that
[16:14]
was right up there with kind of sitting
in an actual area we're important.
[16:17]
» Riveting.
>> Yeah, I I did some huge sacrifice while
[16:20]
I was out of commission. That's all I
had.
[16:22]
» Well, we appreciate your dedicated
service, Bill.
[16:24]
Gary
>> Yeah, well, it's good we went this way
[16:27]
around because uh Nathan touched on some
things that was part of we had a
[16:30]
personnel meeting this morning.
Uh you basically told about that at a
[16:34]
part of our meeting tonight. And uh back
to what Nathan was talking about last
[16:39]
week, Nathan and I were invited to a uh
economic development round table uh with
[16:44]
Senator Slaght and and um along with uh
the city manager and uh superintendents
[16:49]
of schools here. And I thought there was
some really good discussions um um
[16:54]
where we're at as a infrastructure here
in our county and our city, also what we
[16:58]
want what we're looking forward down the
road, and uh some of the advantages of
[17:03]
uh Nathan already touched on it, is not
just a city city city uh submitting for
[17:07]
grants or money, uh but maybe that city
and the county can have basically a plan
[17:13]
together. And um she brought up the city
of Holland and the county of therein uh
[17:18]
how they they get more attention when it
gets to her office because it's a it's a
[17:23]
plan for not only just the city but the
county and that sometimes gets a gets a
[17:27]
look a first look before it just a
county. So that was a
[17:32]
good conversation
and hopefully we're on the radar now and
[17:36]
we can move forward to doing going that
way. So end of my report.
[17:40]
» Thanks a lot. Thank you very much.
>> Roger?
[17:42]
» I had a community mental health last
Tuesday. We uh the highlights of that
[17:46]
meeting were the approval of the
employee compensation and also the uh
[17:50]
EAP contract. And the real highlight was
when we met uh Brandy, the new therapy
[17:57]
dog
that is a resident down there. It's a
[18:00]
one of the doodle mixes. I'm not sure
what it's mixed with but uh
[18:04]
I've I've met her before.
Um she's not quite a year old
[18:10]
and I guess when she puts her vest on
she knows that she's working.
[18:15]
Uh one of the gals wanted to take her
outside and uh
[18:19]
well her owner was uh
off to a break
[18:24]
and she wouldn't go outside.
She had her work leash and her work vest
[18:28]
on and she was there to work. So they
had to switch the leash and take the
[18:32]
vest off so the dog would go out take a
break.
[18:37]
It's a pretty intelligent dog. I guess
it's really uh
[18:41]
really helping out down there.
>> Very good.
[18:43]
» Yeah and that's all I have.
>> Good. Thank you Roger. Appreciate
[18:47]

[20:32]
» I have a motion by Finance Chairman
Sarkella, supported by Commissioner Lee.
[20:35]
Is there any discussion?
>> Just real quick cuz I missed last
[20:37]
meeting. That's what they what we always
gave them when we didn't update it at
[20:40]
all.
>> Yeah, so in a in a to recap that, their
[20:44]
request this year was for $15,000 a year
for 5 years, which was an enormous
[20:48]
increase over what they previously had,
and they failed to justify the need for
[20:51]
the increase. So, we we went with uh
with what they had previously.
[20:56]
Is that all?
>> Yeah, but that's why we only went with
[20:58]
the 3 years.
>> Oh, yeah, and a 5-year commitment would
[21:02]
push the county way out into a new
board, different people, right? And so,
[21:07]
in a 3-year commitment, they'll have to
come back again and
[21:11]
reevaluate. So.

real quick.
[24:09]
» Absolutely.
>> Um in my time away, you know, you find
[24:12]
out when you have some health
circumstances that there's really two
[24:15]
things to worry about. You're going to
get better or you're going to get worse.
[24:19]
And if you get better, then you have
nothing to worry about.
[24:22]
But if you get worse,
then there's two things to worry about.
[24:25]
» Right.
>> You're either going to live or you're
[24:27]
going to die.
Well, if you live, you have nothing to
[24:31]
worry about.
But if you die, then you got two things
[24:34]
to worry about.
You're either going to go to heaven
[24:37]
or you're going to go to hell. Now, if
you go to heaven, you have nothing to
[24:40]
worry about. But if you go to hell,
there's two things to worry about.
[24:45]
Original or extra crispy.
[24:49]
That's what I learned while I was gone.
[24:53]
» We're glad you're better.
>> Yeah. Well, we missed you, Phil, and
[24:56]
we're we're happy to have you back.
>> Glad we didn't lose your sense of humor.

Being under.
>> Oh, it was tough. I had a battle-ax
[25:02]
nurse in the home that would just beat
me up. I'm telling you.
[25:05]
47 years she's been doing that to me.
>> We should have the cameras off, right?
[25:13]
She'll agree.

entertain a motion to adjourn our
