The Lapeer County Committee Regular Board meeting held on August 27, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included authorization to purchase a transit van with a lift for up to $90,000 and approval of increased costs for two replacement CH vehicles, both at no additional cost to the county general fund. The board also approved plumbing repairs and flooring replacement at the west building with a budget not to exceed $30,000, and authorized the preparation and issuance of a request for proposal (RFP) for a new community mental health building. Budget discussions featured a public hearing on the county budget with unanimous adoption, and acceptance of a $67,696 housing grant reimbursement. Additionally, personnel motions were passed, including adding a full-time corrections officer position funded partly by a vacant position and authorizing temporary intern rehiring at no additional cost to the general fund. A purchase agreement for the former register of deeds building was deferred to a future meeting. The meeting also addressed parking permit issues and included public comments and commissioner reports.
