October 6, 2026 BOC - Joint Finance, Audit, Budget and Internal Services Committees

The Macomb County Board of Commissioners’ joint Finance, Audit, Budget and Internal Services Committee meeting on October 6, 2026, included the presentation of the FY2027 executive-recommended budget and procurement items referred to the full Board. The proposed countywide budget is approximately $1.25 billion, including a $399 million general fund; the presentation cited about $21.6 million for general-fund capital improvements and $361 million in identified capital needs over five years. The committee received and filed the budget presentation, rather than approving the budget. It also recommended a $45,444 phase-one construction management contract with Clark Construction for the proposed Health and Community Services Building; officials said the broader project’s estimated cost was previously presented at $80 million and that project scope and cost would be validated before a later decision to proceed. For the Central Intake and Assessment Center project, the committee recommended an $11,157,844.18 FF&E contract with Interior Environments, a $297,256.22 audiovisual contract with Trendset, and a $257,935 change order with Metro City Electric Technologies. The furniture procurement used Omnia cooperative pricing and additional volume discounts.

Other procurement recommendations included a $54,310 Bentley Systems subscription for the Department of Roads; $569,834.72 in IT maintenance agreements; a $261,536.93 change order with Frank Rewold & Sons for the Shelby Service Center salt barn, bringing that contract to $2,137,325.93, below its $2.5 million budget; and a $434,086.20 Hutch Paving contract for the Clemens Center parking lot, identified as the lowest qualified bid. The committee also recommended a contract with Burnco for Romeo Court exterior rehabilitation; the amount was not stated, and the motion passed 9–2. Budget amendments recommended included $2,507,524.67 for an additional 1% salary increase and $1,040,800 related to the Sheriff’s Department’s change from a defined-contribution to a defined-benefit pension plan. The indirect-cost allocation amendment also passed. Most procurement and amendment motions passed by committee vote for referral to the full Board; public bidding, qualification-based selection, and cooperative purchasing were described in the procurement processes.
