The Ogemaw County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on September 10, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a fiscal year 2027 contract with Impact Solutions LLC for Friend of the Court IVD services and a bed rental agreement with Michael Lefave. The board also authorized a budget amendment for the sheriff's office to cover overtime expenses and old jail building utilities. A resolution was passed to amend the budget to correct a health insurance cost misallocation affecting Teamsters-represented employees. Additionally, the board approved a new rental rate policy for county office spaces, setting a standard rate of $22 per square foot with a premium of $25 for 911 services due to higher utility usage. The meeting included presentations from the Michigan State Police West Branch Post on law enforcement service delivery and from the Mid Michigan Medical Examiner Group highlighting forensic pathology services and the use of CT scanning technology. Discussions also covered evidence room liability concerns and ongoing budget reviews for sheriff's office expenses. No new contracts or RFPs beyond those mentioned were approved, but the board emphasized the need for continued budget oversight and strategic planning for public safety funding.
