Board of Commissioners Regular Meeting and Work Session for 3/11/2026

The Roscommon County Board of Commissioners held a regular meeting and work session on March 11, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included the authorization of amendments to lake level special assessment district roles to correct clerical errors without increasing costs, and the approval of a local road improvement millage renewal at a reduced rate to fund road maintenance and rebuilding projects through 2030. The board also discussed ongoing economic development projects, including a student internship program, the Freshwater Trail initiative involving signage and kiosks with associated costs, and the management of remaining funds from ARPA and other sources. Additionally, the board considered contracting with a vendor for policy management software (Lexipole) to streamline policy updates, training, and compliance tracking across county departments, with a budgeted amount of approximately $10,000. The meeting included updates on personnel policies, wage and salary advisory committee appointments, and the need for clear project management and bidding processes for county infrastructure projects. Several resolutions were adopted by roll call vote to authorize these actions.
