Full Board Meeting 2026 05 11

The Tuscola County Full Board Meeting held on May 11, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included the approval of a park host contract for Vanderbilt Park with Charles Matelio Jr. as an independent contractor, and the hiring of Gabriel Sheets as a full-time law clerk in the prosecutor's office at an annual salary of $51,250. The board also approved the 2026 summer tax levy with a millage reduction fraction, reflecting growth exceeding inflation, and passed general and special fund budget amendments to align budgeted revenues and expenditures with actuals, including an increased use of fund balance primarily due to retirement payouts. Additionally, the board discussed a potential $450,000 reimbursable grant for a countywide roadway safety action plan requiring a $90,000 county match spread over three years, with concerns about cooperation from the road commission and funding commitments. No votes were taken on the grant application during this meeting. Other agenda items included receiving the Michigan State University Extension annual report and honoring Staff Sergeant Terry Patrick Richardson with a resolution.
