Marquette County Board Meeting 11-02-2026

The Marquette County Board meeting on November 2, 2026, included several procurement and spending items. The board approved Clark Schaefer Hackett Business Advisors for audit services for fiscal years 2026–2028, with an option to renew for three additional years; the contract amount was not stated. The board also considered a $45,900 proposal from Cross General Contracting to repair T-hanger 2 at the airport, with work planned for spring 2027 and funding from the FY2027 building-maintenance budget. A motion and support to approve the proposal were recorded, but the vote outcome is not captured in the transcript. The board approved a $305,210.68 seventh USDA Rural Development drawdown for the K.I. Sawyer water project, corresponding to pay application 14; an additional $80,848.46 was identified as coming from state EGLE grant funding. The drawdown was approved by roll-call vote.

The board also approved payment of $1,949,093 in claims and accounts and $924,891.69 in biweekly payroll. A six-month extension of an existing agreement with attorney Peter H. McCallion for redevelopment work at the former K.I. Sawyer site was presented at the same rate as before, but the vote outcome is not captured. A public commenter noted that a planned Tyler Technologies CAD demonstration meeting had been canceled and asked that dispatch-system decisions be made with full information; no related procurement decision was made during this meeting.
