# Committee of the Whole Board Meeting 10/8/26

The County of Lapeer, Michigan Committee of the Whole Board met on October 8, 2026. The board approved a 2026–27 quality-assurance services contract with Peterson Research Consultants for approximately $7,800, reduced from an initial proposal of $19,400, and an annual Monday.com subscription for 20 seats at $10,920 to manage provider contracts and related documentation. The board also authorized two specialty-court grant agreements to be signed once the state contracts are received. A sheriff’s department item was referred to the Properties Committee for further review. The meeting included requests concerning a $3,000 access-and-visitation grant and a $5,000 animal-control outreach grant; the transcript does not clearly record final votes on those requests. The FY2027 senior-program contract award was also presented, but no award amount was stated.

The board approved a shift to self-funded employee health coverage, with staff presenting an estimated cost of $4.9 million versus $5.3 million for fully insured renewal (the prior-year premium was $5.022 million). The plan includes individual stop-loss protection up to $200,000 per employee and dependent and aggregate protection; employee contributions were projected to decrease by $92,000 in total. Equalization staff requested adoption of the tax apportionment report, noting that it may need revision after November millage votes, but no vote is captured. The drain commissioner reported supply-related delays on a drainage project and sought a commissioner appointment to the Wind Lake Improvement Board; neither involved a recorded procurement award.
