10.21.2026 Board of Commissioners Meeting

The Clare County Board of Commissioners meeting on October 21, 2026 included several budget and infrastructure actions. The board approved the September 2026 expenditures, a $300,000 budget adjustment, and a fiscal year 2027 contract/grant item; the transcript does not clearly capture the contract/grant’s details or the exact expenditure total. The board also approved the county apportionment report. Commissioners voted to set the spongy moth millage to zero for the year, citing the fund balance and the absence of significant moth nests warranting spraying.

Infrastructure updates covered airport improvements supported by MDOT Aeronautics grants, including lighting, crack sealing, and a beacon; additional airport needs discussed included a fuel tank, hangar electrical service, and a temporary flight-planning space. The Road Commission reported road and bridge projects, including a low bid for four miles of Beaverton Road and an agreement to extend the work to Clare County at the same price next year, with bid savings redirected to Rock Road. It also reported receiving a $100,000 bridge-maintenance grant for 2029 and pursuing earlier funding. The Treasurer discussed a planned move to BS&A Cloud dog-license software to improve online service; no clear board approval of that change appears in the transcript.
