The Macomb County Board of Commissioners held a joint meeting of the Finance, Audit, Budget, and Internal Services Committees on August 10, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the Central Intake and Assessment Center construction project, which is progressing on time and under budget. The board approved a $75,000 budget amendment from the general fund balance for non-departmental capital outlay projects under $50,000, with anticipation of further requests later in the year. The committees recommended contracts and budget amendments for several capital improvement projects, including a $55,250 contract with Spalding DeDecker for a land survey of the new Health and Community Services building, and a $900,930 budget amendment for upgrading the Juvenile Justice Center's outdated 22-year-old video surveillance system. Additionally, a county-wide badge access system upgrade was discussed to unify security across facilities. Maintenance agreements totaling over $308,000 were approved, including for the prosecutor's case management system and CrowdStrike antivirus software. The IT department requested approval for purchasing 458 laptops at a cost of $504,258 to continue their device replacement plan, noting challenges with supply and overtime costs for deployment. The meeting included several motions passed unanimously to move these items to the full board for final approval.
