# Board of Commissioners Special Meeting for 11/10/2026

At the Roscommon County Board of Commissioners’ special meeting on November 10, 2026, commissioners approved the consent agenda, including $598,276.86 in warrants and $1,456,932.93 in claims and accounts. The board also adopted 2027 employee health-benefit resolutions, including the annual exemption option under Public Act 152 and employee premium contribution terms. The meeting included review of the proposed 2027 budget and discussion of staffing and wage allocations; the transcript does not show a final vote adopting the budget.

A major capital item was the proposed 800 MHz public-safety communications project: improvements to two existing tower sites and a new 300-foot tower on Houghton Lake Community Schools property. The recommendation was a 12-year lease-to-own arrangement with annual payments of $187,743.95, plus estimated annual maintenance of about $17,000; Motorola Solutions and Telrad were identified as project partners. Commissioners expressed support, but no formal award or approval vote appears in the transcript. The board also reviewed a grant-supported materials management and recycling plan, which would be revised and sent to townships for approval before submission to the state; a consulting firm’s estimated cost was about $60,000 for three years, with no contract award recorded. A countywide aerial-imagery assessment tool was discussed as exploratory, with pricing still to be determined.
