Board Of Commissioners Regular Meeting and Work Session for 2/11/2026

The Roscommon County Board of Commissioners held a regular meeting and work session on February 11, 2026. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of claims and accounts totaling over $1.7 million, and the appointment of Aaron West Coat to the Roscommon County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority Board. The board authorized Chairperson Darlene Spencer to sign multiple MERS retirement plan documents related to the transfer of central dispatch employees to a hybrid retirement plan, reflecting a significant personnel and benefits administrative update. Additionally, the board discussed a critical infrastructure mapping grant opportunity, which would provide up to three $25,000 grants for mapping county infrastructure to aid first responders, with no cost to the county if awarded. Public comments addressed concerns about lake level management, water safety, and a $17,000 fee charged to the Central Michigan District Health Department for data, which was criticized as punitive and counterproductive to public health efforts. The meeting also included updates on various county projects and policy discussions, but no other direct contract awards or purchasing decisions were noted.
