The Iosco County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on July 15, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included approval of a $7,500 contract with the Iosco County Road Commission for airport runway and taxiway crack sealing, funded largely by donations. The board also approved a lease renewal for AceTech vehicle intelligence software for eight EMS vehicles at an annual cost of $7,679.04. Additionally, the board authorized acceptance of a $2,750 hazardous materials emergency preparedness grant to support training and exercises related to hazardous sites in the county. A significant policy decision involved approving the addition of two full-time deputy positions funded by eliminating one corrections officer position, with discussion on the impact to the capital outlay budget and public safety needs. The board also reviewed and discussed a new GIS data sharing agreement with the State of Michigan, which includes options for making certain GIS data layers open to the public to improve data consistency and reduce FOIA requests. Other topics included updates on recycling programs, union negotiations, and community services. Several motions were passed by roll call vote to approve contracts, grant agreements, and budget allocations.
