Midland County Executive Committee of the Whole meeting, October 13, 2026: The county administrator reported on facilities work and maintenance. The jail boiler project finished below its anticipated cost, and a third boiler was added. Work was also underway on the courthouse front entry and a new door between the victim-witness room and jury room; delayed furniture deliveries were noted. Emergency management is planning to replace its roughly 30-year-old mobile command vehicle. The county has been setting aside funds and may pursue a grant or a potential vendor opportunity, but no purchase or award was approved in the meeting. The administrator also said the MIDC grant renewal would be signed and submitted after the meeting; no vote was described.

A commissioner reported that Community Mental Health of Central Michigan’s proposed contract rates for direct-service providers would remain unchanged for another year, with rates constrained by state funding; concerns about provider costs were discussed, with further follow-up anticipated. No other procurement votes or contract awards were identified. The committee also received routine department updates, including cybersecurity awareness and county parks, health, and public safety activities.
