April 23, 2026 Committee Meetings

The Oceana County Properties, Environment, and Economic Development Committee and Finance and Administration Committee met on April 23, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a mechanical inspector contract with Michael Jankowiak due to licensing challenges with previous inspectors, and plans to put preventive maintenance for HVAC systems out for bid following the departure of the current contractor. The Finance Committee discussed a fiduciary agreement with Shelby Township for a shooting range project, debating administrative fees for managing grant funds and recommending billing for direct costs to cover county expenses. Additionally, the county prosecutor sought approval to submit a grant application for $95,593 to fund contractual assistance addressing case backlogs. The committees also deliberated on ballot language for a tax limitation renewal, focusing on compliance with state law and voter communication strategies. Road Commission wage adjustments were proposed, recommending salary increases to $10,000-$12,000 with benefits and per diem aligned with the county board. No formal votes on procurement contracts were recorded, but several action items were identified for future contract approvals and grant administration.
