A
You
so
we'll
stand
for
the
indication
after
the
invocation.
I'd
like
to
have
a
moment
of
silence.
Our
family
at
bay
county
has
lost
a
number
of
individuals,
one
in
particular
pam
lebke,
who
worked
for
buildings
and
ground.
We
have
vicki
bisa
beeson,
who
was
married
to
pat
beast
and
past
commissioner,
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
vicky
barsha
wife
to
jim
and
huge
supporter
bay
county.
A
C
So
that
our
prosperity
may
not
be
a
curse
in
our
lives
but
an
instrument
for
blessing,
we
ask
that
you
will
guide
and
give
leadership
to
every
member
of
the
supported
commissioners.
Then
we
ask
that
you
will
give
them
knowledge
and
understanding
so
that
the
decisions
made
today
and
always
will
benefit
every
citizen
of
this
community.
I
I
J
C
J
A
A
A
Anyone
from
the
public
wish
to
address
the
board
that
you
said
before
we
move
in
the
petitions,
petitions
and
communications
I'd
like
to
give
joel
strauss
an
opportunity
to
come
and
give
us
an
update
of
information
and
answer
whatever
questions
the
commission
might
have
for
him.
Joel.
Are
you
on
board.
K
K
We
still
have
some
issues
trying
to
get
persons
to
cooperate
with
the
investigations
that
we
do,
but
for
the
most
part
people
do
we
are
able
to
test
anyone
that
needs
a
test:
we've
even
expanded
testing
into
long-term
care
facilities,
with
antigen
testing,
rapid
testing
and
into
some
of
the
public
schools
as
well,
especially
for
some
of
their
sports
programs.
So
that's
going
pretty
well
is
in
addition
to
that,
the
hospital
capacity
has
really
increased
greatly.
Those
numbers
have
been
cut
by
two-thirds
since
the
beginning
of
december.
K
On
average,
we
have
about
anywhere
between
12
and
17
people
admitted
into
the
hospital,
but
the
icu
is
not
filled
as
it
was
back
in
december.
And,
finally,
our
our
test,
positivity
rate,
as
of
today,
is
below
5
and
the
the
number
of
cases
per
million
over
time
on
a
daily
basis
is
down
significantly.
K
K
Kind
of
correspondingly
it's
a
lagging
indicator,
but
we
did
see
the
number
of
deaths
sharply
increase
in
the
month
of
november
and
december.
Those
numbers
have
gone
down
pretty
dramatically
and
overall,
there's
been
about
a
total
of
250
deaths
in
bay
county
due
to
copen
19
in
the
last
11
months.
But
just
to
give
you
some
perspective
on
that.
K
To
give
you
some
perspective,
though,
of
how
we
are
doing
today,
we
have
a
test
positivity
rate
of
about
3.8
percent,
we're
seeing
on
average
about
less
than
10
cases
per
day.
Sometimes
it
goes
up
more.
Sometimes
it's
much
less,
and
our
testing
capacity
is
very,
very
good.
As
of
this
point,
if
you
compare
our
statistics
with
the
state
of
michigan
and
the
region
and
some
of
the
surrounding
counties,
we
are
doing
exceptionally
well
at
this
point.
K
In
addition
to
that,
so
there
has
been
a
lot
of
movement
on
our
front
and
pretty
much
exclusively.
We
have
been
focused
on
getting
as
much
vaccine
out
to
the
residents
of
bay
county
as
we
possibly
can.
Our
goal
this
year
is
to
vaccinate
up
to
72
000
people
at
two
shots,
each
or
144
000
shots
by
fourth
of
july.
That's
a
pretty
ambitious
goal
and
we
do
realize
that
this
goal
was
put
together
back
in
latter
november.
When
we
were
told
we
were
instructed
that
the
vaccines
were
coming
soon.
K
Once
again,
this
is
the
largest
public
health
initiative
in
this
bay
county
history,
and
it
requires
coordination,
cooperation
of
all
the
medical
providers,
just
not
on
the
health
department,
we're
working
with
other
medical
providers
such
as
the
hospital
mclaren
bay
region,
other
businesses,
schools,
governments
and
other
organizations.
We've
got
significant
partnerships
with
mclaren
bay
region.
We
talk
to
them
on
a
daily
basis.
We've
got
a
significant
partnership.
With
delta
college.
We've
opened
up
a
drive-through
site
to
drive
through
drive-through
vaccination
site
in
the
last
week
that
is
operating
two
days
a
week.
K
We
wish
we
could
operate
more
and
we'll
talk
about
supply
issues,
but
we're
hoping
to
ramp
up
operations
there
fairly
soon.
We've
got
fairly
significant
partnerships
with
the
isd
we've
been
able
to
provide
most,
if
not
all,
of
teachers
and
child
care
workers
in
bay
county
with
at
least
one
shot
in
the
vaccine.
Regimen
we've
constructed
a
partnership
with
bay
area
and
act,
behavioral,
health
agency
and
region
7
agency
on
aging,
and
they
are
providing
starting
to
provide
vaccines
out
to
the
persons
that
they
serve
that
have
normally
a
difficult
time
in
obtaining
services.
K
K
This
is
going
to
take
a
while
tier,
1b
and
tier
1b
is
divided
into
three
subcategories
tier
one
ba,
which
is
health
persons
over
65
teachers
and
first
responders
tier
one
b
b,
which
are
other
critical
infrastructure
employees,
tier
1
bc,
which
also
includes
anyone
else.
That's
a
critical
infrastructure
employee,
especially
private
businesses.
K
We
are
primarily
a
pfizer
vaccine
county
because
of
our
deep
freeze
capacity
here
in
bay
county.
We
do
have
some
doses
of
moderna
that
we
are
able
to
share
with
other
providers.
Such
as
great
lakes,
bay,
health
center
and
those
were
moderna
was
used
to
help
vaccinate
teachers,
so
there's
usually
a
21
to
28,
day
time
frame
for
completion
of
the
two
doses
that
are
involved,
but,
as
we've
talked
about
before,
there
are
continuing
issues
with
supply
and
demand.
K
We
have
overwhelming
demand
at
this
point
in
time
there,
as
of
the
beginning
of
this
month,
have
been
26
000
persons
that
have
registered
with
the
bay
county
health
department.
That
number
increases
on
a
daily
basis,
but
the
problem
with
this
is
that
with
26
000
people
waiting
in
a
queue
we
are
often
given
a
thousand,
maybe
2
000
doses
per
week
of
vaccine
to
distribute
by
the
state
of
michigan,
and
the
demand
is
always
overwhelming.
K
Our
supply,
as
I've
talked
about
before
there
are
supply
issues
going
or
taking
place
throughout
the
state
of
michigan,
and
because
of
that,
the
state
has
amended
their
distribution
guidelines.
They've
done
this
three
times
in
the
last
week.
It's
now
a
population-based
distribution.
I
was
initially
hopeful
that
bay
county
would
see
significantly
more
vaccine
because
of
our
senior
population
as
you
are.
K
They've
changed
that
vaccine
distribution
mechanism,
and
so
our
our
vaccine
supply
remains
at
about
one
thousand
to
two
thousand
doses
per
week.
The
public
health
distribution
has
changed
three
times
in
the
same
time
period
as
well.
We
were
assured
before
that
there
would
be
overall,
a
70
30
split
of
vaccine,
going
to
local
public
health,
70
percent,
going
to
the
health
department
and
30
going
to
the
hospital
and
other
local
providers
that
has
changed
as
well.
K
The
goal
was
to
have
eight
lanes
that
people
could
drive
through
well,
that
was
amended
to
four,
but
we
were
able
to
come
up
with
a
plan
to
potentially
scale
up
to
1800
persons
per
day
going
through
there.
The
national
guard,
like
that
plan.
They
initially
came
out
about
three
weeks
ago,
and
we
talked
about
this.
They
talked
about
potentially
doing
a
six-week
deployment
here
and
doing
a
regional
vaccine
distribution
clinic
that
is
primarily
drive
through
within
three
days.
K
So
I
want
to
talk
about
three
issues
in
specifically
that
we've
heard
a
lot
about,
and
I
know
that
as
elected
officials,
you
have
all
heard
some
of
these
issues
as
well.
Number
one
is
registration
and
scheduling.
First
of
all,
there
is
no
centralized
registration
and
scheduling
scheme
here
or
schema
here
in
michigan,
no,
no
centralized
place
to
go,
get
registered
or
or
schedule
an
appointment,
so
you've
got
83
counties
with
83
individual
systems,
some
do
a
schedule
first
and
then
determine
eligibility
based
on
a
registration.
K
Others
like
bay,
county
register,
people
first
and
then,
based
on
that
eligibility
reach
out
for
scheduling
an
appointment
on
top
of
those
83
different
systems.
You've
got
systems
from
local
hospitals
and
pharmacies
that
are
also
registering
people
and
providing
appointments
if
they
have
the
vaccine,
but
there
are
difficulties
in
sharing
that
information.
K
K
K
K
K
The
hospitals,
particularly
mclaren
bay
region,
distributes
that
vaccine
to
their
subsidiary
hospitals.
So
those
are
hospitals
in
badax
in
cairo
in
west
branch,
but
they
also
provided
to
their
partner
sites
in
walgreens
in
bay,
midland
huron
tuscola
in
ogama
county
for
mclaren
patients
over
65
that
have
multiple
chronic
conditions.
K
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
working
with
bayern
ac
behavioral
health,
so
that
they
can
go
to
some
of
these
homes,
especially
where
their
clients
and
patients
are,
are
residing
and
vaccinate
as
much
as
possible.
But
we've
also
have
started
to
encounter
some
of
these
homes
or
encounter
some
of
these
facilities
and
vaccinate
their
staff
and
their
residents
as
well.
K
K
We
expect
that
it
will
change
over
time
as
well
and
the
health
department,
as
I've
said
before,
for
the
next
three
weeks,
expects
to
receive
about
one
thousand
first
doses
a
week
and
anywhere
between
one
thousand
to
two
thousand
second
doses
per
week
for
the
next
three
weeks.
We
also
expect
that
by
march
vaccine
supply
will
start
to
grow
again.
K
The
state
will
hopefully
figure
out
their
distribution
problems,
especially
with
the
second
dose
requirements
that
are
taking
place
throughout
the
state
and
that
there
will
be
in
addition
to
that.
Maybe
three
or
four
vaccine
choices
available,
particularly
johnson
and
johnson,
maybe
novovax
and
astrazeneca
as
well.
K
The
last
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
today
as
far
as
vaccines
being
an
issue
is
community
information
and
disinformation
waiting
list
just
isn't
occurring
in
bay
county.
I
had
a
conversation
with
my
counterparts
in
saginaw
and
midland
county
yesterday
and
they
are
facing
the
same
problems
as
we
are.
They
have
a
number,
a
sizable
number
of
people
on
their
waiting
list,
they're
not
able
to
reach
out
to
those
folks
to
to
confirm
that
they
are
on
a
waiting
list.
K
They
have
several
people
that
have
registered
on
their
site,
also
at
their
hospital
site
or
through
via
myers
or
another
pharmacy,
and
they
are
waiting
to
get
vaccinated,
but
they
haven't
heard
anything.
Yet.
Each
system
has
a
registration
and
scheduling
system
on
their
own,
as
I
mentioned
before,
each
has
waiting
lists.
Each
of
them
have
received
complaints
about
waiting
and
confirmation
of
registration.
H
K
Region
as
well,
and
it's
happening
within
other
counties
as
well,
one
of
the
things
as
we
go
through
our
registration
list
and
what
we've
discovered
is
vaccine.
Tourism
is
a
real
thing.
We've
got
people
from
outside
of
the
the
bay
county
outside
of
the
region
outside
of
the
state
of
michigan
that
are
trying
to
get
on
the
waiting
list.
Some
folks
that
we've
talked
to
even
in
the
state
of
tennessee
and
in
georgia
in
indiana
have
no
problem
traveling
several
hundred
miles.
K
Most
people
vaccinated
under
65
were
healthcare
workers,
first
responders
teachers
and
child
care
workers.
So
the
one
thing
I
want
to
clear
up
is
that
you
can't
just
walk
into
a
walgreens,
myers,
mclaren
and
get
or
the
health
department
in
one
of
our
vaccination
clinics
and
get
vaccinated.
You've
got
to
be
registered,
you've
got
to
meet
the
eligibility
requirements.
K
K
Just
to
just
so
that
we
can
also
demonstrate
to
that,
the
problems
are
happening
throughout
the
country.
Not
just
state
of
michigan
is
that
these
are
happening
everywhere.
I
know
someone
had
mentioned
that
they
were
able.
They
knew
someone
in
western
kentucky
that
just
walked
into
a
large
big
box
pharmacy
and
got
vaccinated
and
once
again,
that's
the
exception
rather
than
the
rule.
K
If
that
did
occur
at
all,
there
are
people
frustrated
all
over
the
nation
with
vaccine
distribution
and
that's
a
huge
problem
throughout
all
50
states,
not
just
the
state
of
michigan.
Ironically,
one
of
the
best
states
with
vaccine
distribution
is
the
state
of
west
virginia,
and
that
is
because
they
have
chosen
to
go
with
a
centralized
registration
and
scheduling
system
and
it's
open
to
anyone
within
the
state.
K
So,
while
it's
too
late
for
us
to
go
back
and
do
everything
over
again
in
the
state
of
michigan,
it's
an
important
lesson
for
us
to
learn
in
the
future
now.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
talk
about
today
are
the
variants.
You
probably
have
heard
more
about
this
in
the
news,
and
there
are
three
particular
variants
that
are
of
concern
to
us
right
now.
Number
one
is
the
uk
variant
or
b117
the
south
african
variant
b1351,
and
there
are
two
south
american
variants,
but
one
particular
particularly
the
e484k.
K
Now
each
of
these
variants
is
more
transmissible,
transmissible,
especially
the
uk
variant.
It's
about.
It
spreads
about
50
percent
more
efficiently
than
the
variant
that
we're
used
to
here
in
the
state
of
michigan.
It
has
been
discovered
in
four
counties
already
in
the
state
of
michigan.
We
expect
that
this
will
be
the
dominant
variant
by
the
middle
of
march
here
in
bay
county,
whether
or
not
that
it
is
more
deadly
is
yet
to
be
known.
We
do
know
that
it
can
cause
more
severe
illness,
particularly
because
of
its
efficiency
of
spread.
K
K
The
one
variant
that
does
not
respond
in
total
to
the
vaccines
is
the
south
african
variant,
and
you
may
have
heard
that
with
the
johnson
and
johnson
studies
that
it's
about
60
effective,
especially
for
the
south
african
variant.
One
important
thing
I
want
to
note
with
that,
though,
is
that
it's
only
about
60
effective
for
preventing
any
kind
of
symptom.
K
It's
about
85
percent
effective,
at
least
within
the
first
two
to
three
weeks
of
preventing
serious
illness
and
hospitalization,
and
it's
almost
100
effective
after
about
a
month
in
preventing
serious,
hospitalization
and
death.
So
with
the
new
vaccines
coming
on,
I'm
fairly
confident
that
these
variants
will
be,
we
can
address
some
of
these
variants.
F
K
We
have
not
seen
any
indications
with
anyone
after
they've
received
full
vaccination
status
of
anyone
becoming
positive
here
in
bay
county
now
that
might
change
over
the
future
and
that
might
change
due
to
these
new
variants
and
and
their
spread
throughout
the
community.
But
at
this
point
in
time
you
still
got
to
wear
a
mask.
You
still
got
a
distance
and
you
still
need
the
quarantine
if
you're
exposed.
K
I
do
expect,
however,
that
due
to
the
the
chance
of
the
virus
mutating
and
especially
if
it
mutates
into
a
more
a
stronger
version
of
the
virus
or
more
or
one,
that's
more
transmissible,
like
the
uk
version
of
that-
that
we
will
see
various
tweaks
and
maybe
booster
shots
so
that
you
might
receive
the
vaccine
say.
For
example,
in
february
there
might
be
a
booster
available
by
summertime
or
early
fall
to
help
cope
with
some
of
these
new
variants
as
well.
B
D
My
real
concern
is
people
who
do
not
want
to
get
the
shot.
I
hear
there's
a
large
percentage.
We
need
to
get
70
percent.
I
know
there's
still
misinformation
out
there
and
you
know
make
it
through
this
whole
process
and
not
have
hurt
immunity
and
we'll
still
be
wearing
masks
for
like
a
long
long
long
time.
D
So
there's
some
articles
today
about
us
never
really
being
able
to
shed
the
mass
unless
we
can
get
to
that
immunity,
and
I
hear
like
40
50
of
people
don't
want
to
get
it
healthcare
workers
even
that
don't
want
to
get
it.
So
is
there
a
pr
campaign,
I
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
on
the
news,
but
I
think
a
designated
pr
campaign
might
be
necessary
to
really
instruct
people
to
get
the
shots.
K
There
are
definite
pr
campaigns
that
are
happening
at
the
national
level
and
happening
at
the
local
level,
but
there's
no
better
pr
campaign
than
word
of
mouth
and
a
good
example
of
that
is
healthcare
workers.
When
the
vaccine
first
came
out
at
the
end
of
december,
it
was
about
a
50
50
proposition
for
those
people
that
were
offered
the
vaccine,
whether
or
not
that
they
wanted
it
and
then
once
they
discovered
that
those
persons
that
did
obtain
the
vaccine
didn't
have
any
significant
side
effects.
K
One
good
example
of
the
effect
of
that
is
that
in
mclaren
we
get
daily
reports
of
how
many
employees
are
off
with
copid-like
symptoms
on
a
daily
basis
and
during
the
the
high
point
of
the
spread
in
november
and
december
on
average,
there
was
anywhere
from
45
to
90
persons,
90
employees
off
at
any
given
time
that
number's
down
to
about
six
on
a
daily
average.
Now
and
it's
gone
down
even
to
three,
so
we
have
not
seen
double-digit
numbers
for
at
least
three
to
four
weeks,
so
I
think
right.
H
K
Well,
I
think,
by
march
or
april
of
this
year
it
won't.
It
will
not
only
be
the
health
department
and
its
community-based
clinics
which
at
this
point
in
time
we're
able
to
provide
about
500
vaccines
per
day
at
the
community
center,
and
we
can
scale
up
to
about
1800
doses
per
day
at
delta
college,
but
you
will
also
have
myers
all
the
meyer
locations,
the
kroger
locations,
walmart
and
you'll
have
several
independent
providers
and
doctors
offices
able
to
provide
the
vaccine.
K
K
E
L
Yeah
I'd
like
to
to
follow
up
on
commissioner
begich's
comment.
If
there's
a
way,
we
can
more
fully
inform
through
our
county
website
the
rumors
versus
facts,
because
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
contacted
about
by
younger
women
is
that
on
social
media
they're
saying,
if
you
get
vaccinated,
you
could
lose
your
fertility.
L
L
Well,
I
wouldn't
say
everyone,
but
a
number
of
people
who
have
gone
through
the
site
have
contacted
me
to
complement
bay,
county
health
department,
yourself,
joel
and
the
staff
for
a
very
efficient
and
professionally
run
vaccination
clinics.
So
the
people
who
have
gone
through
the
process
are
very,
very
appreciative
and
we
do,
as
you
mentioned
earlier,
have
a
large
number
of
people
anxiously
waiting
for
their
their
turn
to
be
vaccinated,
but,
as
you've
outlined,
that's
dependent
on
the
volume
of
vaccine
that
we
have
available
to
us.
L
K
We
are
ramping
up
on
staffing
every
day
and
the
good
news
is
that
we
have
a
number
of
nurses
that
we've
hired
on
a
temporary
basis
throughout
the
community
and
they
have
taken
significant
pay
cuts
in
a
lot
of
cases.
You
know
this
is
peanuts
in
comparison
to
what
they
make
at
the
local
hospital,
but
they
believe
in
the
mission
they
there
they
want
to
do
everything.
There
are
some
that
are
don't
even
want
pay.
K
They
just
want
to
volunteer,
so
we've
got
a
number
of
volunteers
and
we're
going
to
be
ramping
up
our
volunteer
efforts
as
well,
especially
in
anticipation
that
these
clinics
are
going
to
expand
exponentially,
and
you
know
in
the
in
the
spring,
in
the
early
summer,
we
probably
will
see
you
know
almost
a
continuous
operation
at
these
clinics,
and
with
that
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
effort
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
movement
take
place
on
staffing.
These
things
now.
K
The
one
thing
that
frustrates
us
at
this
point
is
that
we're
still
doing
a
lot
of
manual
data
input
and
we
are
tweaking
the
system
all
the
time.
We're
trying
to
find
improvements
where
we
can
automatically
upload
information
both
to
our
electronic
medical
record
into
the
state's
immunization
registry,
we're
hoping
that
we
can
get
that
situated
and
fixed
fairly
soon.
But
this
is
a
problem
that
everybody's
having
throughout
the
state
as
well.
A
K
K
We
are
hoping
that
by
this
week
we
will
have
a
confirmation,
email
that
will
go
out
to
everyone
that
has
registered
and
then,
as
as
I
mentioned
before,
that
we
will
be
able
to
begin
the
online
scheduling
system.
I
do
want
to
know
one
thing
about
the
online
scheduling
system
that
we
are
going
to
put
into
operation,
whether
it's
this
week
or
in
the
coming
week
in
other
communities,
even
in
bay
county
with
other
providers
when
they
have
done
similar
things
and
given
out
a
link
to
a
scheduling
system.
K
That
link
was
shared
beyond
who
it
was
originally
intended
for
and
in
the
case
of
one
of
the
the
big
box
pharmacies
around
here
they
shared
that
link
and
it
was
spread
widely
beyond
the
intended
targeted
audience.
So
what
happened
was
is
that
it
was
supposed
to
be
for
seniors
in
a
specific
from
a
specific
provider
with
multiple
chronic
conditions.
A
A
J
C
J
C
J
A
A
I
I
I
Just
so
you're
aware
most
of
the
townships
have
their
covet
costs
covered
from
the
additional
grant
that
we
had
that
replaced
our
revenue
sharing.
So
we're
just
looking
for
final
questions.
If
anybody
has
them,
if
not,
we
will
submit
the
final
report
and
hopefully
draw
down
enough
to
cover
bay,
county's
portion
of
uncovered
covet
costs.
There
are
stipulations,
they
won't
be
covering
everything,
but
we
will
be
looking
to
draw
down
as
much
of
our
150
000
that
the
board
had
given
direction
for
us
to
spend
on
covert
related
expenses.

A

Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
Undersea
application
for
appointment
to
the
bay
county
road
commission.
We
have
a
list
of
11
applicants,
I'll
read
them
off
and
then
a
motion
to
rece.
These
would
be
an
order.
We
have
van
ray
van
driesh,
jacob
piliker,
paul
wasick
mark
chavanov,
thomas
lynch
iii,
michael
lutz
timothy
quinn,
tom
rider,
anna
spanasha,
joseph
revit
and
michael
rosnowski.
J
J
J
A
F
You
know
some
of
the
other
applications
that
we
receive
for
different
different
boards,
but
not
in
elected
position.
So
at
this
time
you
know,
I
would
like
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
refer
this
to
the
next
meeting,
so
that
in
between
we
could
meet
all
these
applicants
and
let
them
present
their
case
to
the
board
directly.
F
E
Yeah
that
to
me
sounds
like
a
policy
issue
and
I
don't
have
a
problem
if
we're
going
to
refer
it,
but
we
should
set
a
policy
that
we
follow
for
every
appointment,
not
just
this,
not
just
this
appointment,
but
for
every
other
appointment
that
we
may
have
just
to
do
it
for
this,
I'm
not
in
support
of
so
I
think
you
know.
I've
talked
to
just
about
all
of
the
folks.
We
all
know
pretty
much
who
they
are.
D
Anyone
sure
yes,
so
when
I
first
came
on
the
board,
this
is
one
of
my
issues
that
we
had
these
people
presented
to
us.
So
I
took
upon
myself
to
call
all
of
them.
I
called
all
11
people
talk
to
them,
but
I
don't
think
that's
the
most
efficient
way.
I
think
there
should
be
a
a
procedure
for
them
to
come
before
us
individually
or
as
a
group.
I
think
we
need
to
make
a
policy.
D
F
M
D
A
A
A
Very
good,
so
at
this
point
we
will
need
to
discuss
setting
up
a
time
with
the
commissioners
to
have
these
individuals
come
in
and
unfortunately
there
will
be
another
month
delay
in
filling
this
vacancy.
So
hopefully
the
individuals
that
are
involved
with
the
road
commission
now
keep
the
ship
going
straight.

A

Their
long-term
strategy
actually
calls
for
creating
five
of
these
signature
parks.
Statewide
under
this
five-year
plan,
they're
they're
working
on
their
first
one
and
it
would
be
a
park
that
they
would
recognize
for
additional
investments,
they'd
be
looking
at
kind
of
to
form
community
partnerships
and
invest
for
they
would
create
like
alternative
accommodations
such
as
cabins
or
yurts.
At
that
park
they
would
have
alternative
type
of
outdoor
recreational
amenities
as
well.
As
you
know,
outdoor
you
know,
concessions
and
so
bait.
G
I
did
in
fact,
commissioner
cooner
conan
in
fake.
Quite
honestly,
the
work
that
has
gone
on
through
beach
wellness
at
this
bay
city
state
park
is
really
what
kicked
off
early
on
the
idea
at
dnr
to
look
at
community
investments
bay
city
state
park
because
of
the
work
for
beach
wellness,
the
grooming,
the
improvements
the
moby
mats
out
there
dnr
has
recognized
that
that
they
can
get
further
ahead
at
some
of
these
state
parks
when
they
have
the
community
support
and
community
engagement.
Like
you
have.
A
What
I
would
like
to
see
happen-
and
I
know
it
hasn't
always
been
looked
on
fondly
because
of
the
funding,
but
I
know
that
there
are
different
organizations
that
are
out
there
that
have
monies
to
be
spent.
That
I'd
like
to
have
happen
here
in
bay,
county
and
we've
talked
in
the
past
about
having
some
type
of
a
fishing
pier
that
would
actually
go
out
into
the
bay
that
would
bring
in
some
businesses
and
and
again
highlight
the
access
that
we
have
on
on
the
water
here.
A
So
I
would
like
to
see
something
put
together
that
would
support
further
development
and
looking
into
a
possible
peers,
seeing
that
we
wouldn't
use
any
general
fund
dollars,
but
utilize.
The
monies
that
have
already
been
put
out
there
to
help
with
natural
resources.
I
think
that
would
be
a
huge
plus
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
that
additional
access.
A
So
if
it's
something
that
administration
would
would
look
into
and
and
proceed
with
the
dnr
that
you
know,
they
did
buy
that
360
additional
feet
there
next
to
the
waterworks,
which
would
be
a
perfect
spot
for
a
pier
to
go
out
to
give
additional
access
to
the
bay.
So
I
hope
that
that's
something
that
we
can
consider
and
work
with
our
local
funding
to
make
that
happen.

You
all
right
resolution
2021-25.
This
resolution
is
a
bevy
of
budgeted
vacancies,
yes
they're
upcoming,
or
they
are
already
anticipating
the
need
to
fill
down
the
road
most
are
due
to
either
retirements
or
some
resignation,
some
promotions
within.
So
I
would
and
of
course,
the
seasonal
positions
which
makes
me
happy
to
see
that
we're
getting
ready
to
hire
mosquito
control
and
people
for
the
golf
course,
because
that
means
the
spring
is
sometime
anticipated.

On
march
1st,
in
just
a
couple
of
weeks
to
the
100
unit
center
ridge,
arms,
affordable
housing,
complex
that
we
have
out
on
pine
rodent
in
in
hampton
township,
so
we're
very
pleased
that
I
want
to
thank
the
board
and,
of
course,
amber
davis,
johnson
and
zach
brunette
and
all
of
the
people
who
worked
so
hard,
laura
ogar.
Also
on
the
environmental
aspects.
It
was
a
real
team
effort
to
comply
with
all
of
the
federal
regulations
and
requirements.
L
The
first
time,
as
you
know,
we
went
out.
We
fell
a
little
short
and
then
applied
for
a
streamlined,
rad
conversion,
which
was
successful,
and
we
were
one
of
the
first
in
the
country
I
think,
first
or
second,
to
be
approved
under
a
new
stream,
streamlined
rad
conversion
process
by
hud
and
mishta.
So
I
wanted
to
just
thank
virtually
everyone
who
played
a
role
in
getting
us
to
this
point
and
I
think
we'll
have
an
affordable
housing
complex
that
is
going
to
be
dramatically
improved
and
serve
the
residents
who
need
affordable
housing.
L
For
you
know,
generations
to
come
probably
at
least
another
30
years.
That
facility
should
be
going
strong,
so
just
wanted
to
give
those
two
updates
and
thank
the
commissioners
also
for
the
acknowledgement
of
the
three
individuals
who
passed,
especially
my
wife,
vicky
and
and
of
course,
both
the
others.
Pam
lepic
had
such
a
lengthy
tenure
with
the
county
and,
and
we
miss
her
terribly
and
then
also
vicky.
My
wife
was
my
partner
for
32
years
and
worked
as
hard
at
the
jobs
I
held
as
I
did.
A
A
E
A
E
A
Okay
discussion,
so
I
think
what
we
need
to
do,
then,
is
we
need
to
get
with
administration
so
that
we
can
set
up
a
process
that
will
allow
us
to
do
the
interviews
via
zoom
until
things
change
within
our
area,
where
we
would
actually
physically
have
someone
come
in.
So
yes,
we
have
a
process
in
our
rules.
We
do,
and
so.
A
Sentence:
okay,
okay
with
that
being
said,
we'll
have
administration
work
with
deanne
to
be
able
to
set
up
a
time
where
we
have
with
notice
on
it.
So
everybody
knows
that
this
is
going
on
and
we
would
have
these
individuals
zoom
in
and
be
able
to
put
this
together.
So
within
the
next
week,
we
should
be
able
to
come
back
to
everyone
with
with
how
we'll
proceed
to
handle
both
the
road
commission
and
then
the
appointment
for
the
veterans
of
affairs
committee.
I
J
C
J
H
J
A
D
Von
I
just
want
to
mention
that
the
naco
conference,
the
national
association
of
counties
conference,
starts
on
march
6.,
it's
going
to
be
via
zoom.
I
think
it
runs
for
several
weeks.
It's
very
informative
conference.
I
think
deann
said
something
out
on
this
already,
but
if
you
need
