Delta County Board of Commissioners Statutory Meeting 4/14/2026

The Delta County Board of Commissioners held a statutory meeting on April 14, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. The board deliberated extensively on the Headlee Amendment and its impact on property tax millage rates, considering whether to place a millage extension on the ballot to address a $732,000 funding gap. Public comments reflected concerns about taxation and local government spending. Additionally, the board reviewed a utility easement request from DTE for relocating natural gas infrastructure due to a major MDOT project, with plans to negotiate easement details and potentially approve the concept at the next meeting. The board also approved issuing an RFP for reconstruction and ADA compliance updates to the Delta County Courthouse entrances. Other agenda items included updates on digital accessibility and ADA compliance requirements, with plans to develop implementation timelines. No final votes were taken on the easement or millage extension, but motions passed to pay bills and approve the RFP issuance. The meeting included discussions on infrastructure improvements, budget constraints, and community input on taxation and development policies.
