Full Board Meeting 2026 10 26

Tuscola County Committee of the Whole meeting, October 26, 2026: The board reviewed several spending and procurement items, with most actions deferred for consideration at Thursday’s meeting. Michigan State University Extension presented its annual memorandum of agreement, totaling about $265,000 and including two FTEs and a 3% increase; the representative said the increase would be paid from the county assessment, while commissioners discussed the millage revenue and fund-balance implications. Emergency services staff presented a mass-notification system proposal from Regroup for about $5,000 annually, compared with roughly $7,000 annually for the current OnSolve CodeRED service; Regroup’s quoted plan includes about 1.04 million messages and geographic targeting. A motion was expected Thursday. The board also discussed a request to hire Zuma Contracting to replace recycling-center entrance gates for $10,660.32 from the recycling fund. Other items included a Veraro flexible-spending-account renewal with an 82-cent increase, and a request for a dispatch staffing stipend amid vacancies and overtime.
