Gratiot County Board of Commissioners Meeting 3/3/26

The Gratiot County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on March 3, 2026, where several procurement-related updates and decisions were discussed. The county administrator reported on ongoing procurement activities including the extension of the bid period for an airport lease due to a public notice issue, receipt of two proposals for medical examiner services, and the issuance of a new RFP for time and attendance software expected to attract competitive bids. Additionally, a road construction project to access a new 911 tower was approved with a total cost of $34,410, partially funded by Motorola. The board also reviewed and approved several policies related to financial controls, travel reimbursement, driver authorization, and the sale of county property, aiming to improve internal controls and compliance. A motion was passed to approve the resealing and restriping of the main parking lot at Reed Park with a contract awarded to Fox Seal Coating for $11,365.18, funded under capital development. Furthermore, the board approved a resolution to enter into an agreement for student loan management services for county employees, which involves no cost to the county but offers financial guidance to employees. These actions reflect the board's focus on prudent financial management, infrastructure maintenance, and employee support services.
