2026 10 08 Regular Board Meeting

The Oceana County Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting on October 8, 2026, included approval of Resolution 26-12 and master agreement 2027-0130 for the County Council on Aging’s MDOP program. The board also approved payment of claims totaling $622,489.62; the transcript does not identify vendors or provide reliably legible itemized amounts. Commissioners reappointed Thomas Osborne and Denny Powers to the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority for three-year terms. A resolution setting 2026 tax millage rates was approved by roll-call vote.

The board voted to keep the county out of the Red Barn restoration and focus county resources on existing parks projects; the county historical society said it would pursue restoration independently. The Crystal Valley Dam discussion was limited to reviewing a roadmap, costs, and details, with no decision made. Updates also noted progress on a bathhouse at the fairgrounds, but no related contract award or purchasing action was reported.
