Genesee County Board of Commissioners Meeting 6/17/2026

The Genesee County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on June 17, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included the approval of a contract extension with Arcwood Environmental Inc. for household hazardous waste collection services and the approval of an agreement with Wayman Britt for consultant services related to the Sports Commission. A significant discussion centered on the purchase of Overwatch biometric monitoring devices for inmate health monitoring, with a $107,625 contract proposed to be funded from opioid settlement funds. The board amended the motion to require review and approval by corporate counsel and IT before contract execution. Additionally, the board debated funding a $100,000 research study by Michigan State University on senior needs, funded from the senior millage fund balance, but the motion failed. The board also approved the 2026 summer property tax levy and discussed appointments to the Road Commission, deciding to re-advertise to attract more qualified candidates. The meeting concluded with a closed session to discuss legal matters.
