The Allegan County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on April 9, 2026, covering a range of topics including court operations, capital improvement projects, and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the courthouse renovation project nearing completion, with a planned bond authorization resolution for May 14 to fund the remaining approximately $11.7 million cost, combining bond proceeds and available cash reserves. The board also discussed awarding a contract for a new ERP system, with a budgeted amount of $750,000 and a not-to-exceed $800,000 for initial implementation, aiming for approval at the April 23 meeting. Additionally, the board approved a resolution related to Pine Lake level assessments, adjusted district boundaries for assessment purposes, and considered millage renewal options for senior services and the conservation district, opting to renew the senior millage at a reduced Headley rate while tabling the conservation district millage for further information. The meeting included discussions on ARPA fund obligations, with contracts in place for water and broadband projects, and the reallocation of funds as some projects conclude. The board also approved an appointment to the Community Corrections Advisory Board and finalized the sale of a county parking lot. No new action items were taken beyond these procurement and budget-related matters.
