The Lapeer County Regular Board Meeting held on May 28, 2026, included several procurement and personnel-related discussions. A key agenda item was the appointment and pay adjustment for Jackie Bennett as the permanent Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective June 1, 2026, with a one-year term to allow completion of her educational requirements. The board discussed wage table adjustments to reflect her new pay level. Additionally, the board authorized the county administrator to negotiate recycling and material management agreements with three county partners and potentially a fourth partner, with draft agreements to be reviewed later. The meeting also addressed grant acceptance for the Friend of the Court program, which provides funding for supervised visitation services for children. Other topics included updates on local solar farm developments, use of ARPA funds for park projects, and scheduling of future meetings. No specific contract awards or capital improvement projects were approved during this session, but motions related to personnel pay scales and intergovernmental agreements were passed.
