A
Lord
god,
our
heavenly
father
master
of
all
creation,
we
come
before
you
this
afternoon,
seeking
your
guidance,
wisdom
and
direction.
Lord,
we
ask
that
you
will
lead
and
direct
this
board
to
work
for
this
county,
grant
them
knowledge
and
understanding
of
the
needs
for
this
community
and
lord.
We
ask
that
you
will
give
this
board
of
commissioners
the
strength
and
dignity
and
honor
to
work
for
the
common
good
of
all,
amen.
C
B
E
A
E
A
E
A
E
E
B
F
G
H
I
Yeah
so
far
we
have
a
sheet
going
and
we've
spent
about
86
000
all
together,
but
that
includes
all
of
the
grant
monies
too
so
of
the
150
000.
We
don't
have
a
good
number
yet
as
to
how
much
we've
actually
spent
it
is
probably
roughly
around
15
to
20
000
because
we'll
be
actually
taking
those
funds
and
charging
the
grants.
Whatever
we
can.
First.
H
I
C
Yes,
vaughn
yeah,
you
know
nico's
still
lobbying
for
county
direct
assistance.
I
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
get
through
or
not
there's
a
lot
of
pushback
in
the
congress
of
direct
assistance
to
the
states
and
counties,
but
nato
still
is
asking
you
may
get
another
email
from
them.
Saying
contact
your
congressman
so
to
get
direct
aid
to
the
companies.
I
know
there's
other
things
coming
in
through
fema
and
stuff
like
that.
But
there
still
is
a
push
to
get
some
local
funds,
but
supposed
to
keep
track
track
of
everything
like
you're
doing.
H
Yeah
there'll
be
another
stimulus
bill.
Hopefully
state
and
state
governments
and
counties
will
be
included,
as
the
cities
were
in
the
earlier
version
of
keras.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
if
there's
any
media,
you
know
following
the
meeting
again.
This
does
not
in
any
way
comport
with
the
governor's
executive
order
relative
to
stay
at
home.
H
This
is
simply
a
tool
for
date,
money
government
to
hopefully
respond
quicker
and
more
efficiently,
as
needs
have
come
up
and
where
so
far
everything's
I
think
going
really
well
seems
to
be
going
smooth,
but
this
this
will
not
impact
stay
at
home,
orders
or
or
other
directions,
including
the
governor's
executive
order.
Just
want
to
make
that
clear
for
everyone.

H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Before
the
board
concludes,
I
know
we
probably
if
there's
an
opportunity
would
like
to
hear
from
our
health
department
director,
joel
strauss
on
you,
know
an
update
on
what's
going
on
in
his
department.
I
do
want
to
compliment
joel
and
his
entire
team,
and
also
our
emergency
management
director,
of
course,
ryan
manns
and
chris
zworski
they're,
quite
a
dynamic
team,
and
I
know
that
a
lot
is
getting
done.
That
isn't,
you
know,
isn't
real
obvious
to
the
public,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
the
county
employees.
H
The
wonderful
work
ethic
that
they
have
working
from
home.
The
you
know
the
remote
work
that's
being
accomplished
is
providing
services
to
bay,
county
residents
and
taxpayers,
even
as
we
trudge
through
this
pandemic,
so
the
county
is
providing
those
services,
and
I
want
everyone
to
know
how
much
I
appreciate-
and
I
know
I
speak
to
the
board
and
everyone
all
the
elected
officials,
I'm
sure
I'm
thanking
the
employees
and
the
staff
we
have
for
the
great
job
that
we're
that
they're
all
doing-
and
I
know.
H
Yeah,
the
other
thing
I'll
mention,
mr
chair,
is
that
we
are
in
the
final
stages
of
having
a
re-engagement
plan
for
the
county
offices.
If
we
decide
to
open
on
may
18th
and
so
that
we're
prepared
to
handle
the
you
know
public
engagement
that
we
expect
after
this
long
closure
of
the
public
facilities
in
the
county
government,
so
yeah
we're
looking
forward
to
reengaging
and
what
we
think
what
we.
H
B
Thank
you
unfinished
business
under
new
business.
We
have
a
couple
items
here,
commissioner
krieger
and
I'm
assuming
all
the
commissioners
received
some
emails
concerning
campground
reopening
a
little
a
couple
days
earlier,
so
we
can
take
advantage
of
memorial
weekend,
mr
krieger
or
commissioner
krieger
did
you.
You
also
received
them.
D
So
I
don't
know
if
sending
a
resolution
would
be
an
order
or
a
phone
call
to
lansing.
Maybe
you
know
mr
barsha
certainly
still
has
the
ear
of
lansing.
It
would
be
nice
if
somehow
we
would
have
something
formally
from
us
commissioners
in
bay
county
requesting
that
may
22nd
be
a
date
for
opening
yeah.
H
Commissioner,
krieger
I'd
be
happy
to
weigh
in
with
the
governor
and
encourage
her
to
consider
lifting
that
restriction,
so
that
people
would
enjoy
that
memorial
day
holiday.
I
know
it's
an
annual
event
that
families
really
look
forward
to
and,
as
you
say,
ernie
would
stimulate
the
economy
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
some
of
the
product
that
would
be
bought
and
the
beverages
that
would
go
along
with
opening
the
park
a
little
early.
I
I'll
I'll
weigh
in
on
behalf
of
the
board,
since
we
may
not
have
an
opportunity
to
pass
resolution
in
time.
N
G
G
That's
probably
the
the
governor's
concern.
That's
not
her
concern!
That's
that's!
What's
coming
from
the
the
scientific
community,
so
you
know
hey,
I
got
a
little
place
that
I
would
love
to
have
open
because
I
lose
money
every
day
and
but
you
know
what
just
because
you're
open
don't
mean
people
are
going
to
come
in,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
that
they're
watching
the
news
just
like
we
are
and
they
know
there
is
no
cure
and
they
don't
know
how
they
can
get
infected.
G
I
understand
the
campers
situation,
but
I
still
understand
the
governors
as
well,
because
you
know
all
you
need
to
do
is
have
some
folks
from
down
state
go
up
there
and
infect
those
people,
they
don't
have
the
hospitals
and
the
the
the
facilities
to
care
for
a
lot
of
people.
So
you
know
it's
kind
of
a
catch.
22..
I'd
love
to
see
that
I'd
love
to
see
the
state
open
up.
G
E
G
G
They're,
coming
up
with
this
information,
I'd
love
to
see
state
park,
full
I'd,
love
to
see
all
the
parks
fall,
I'd
love
to
see
people
moving,
but
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
things
are
closed
down
is
because
you
don't
want
to
transmit
the
virus,
I'm
anxious
more
so
than
most,
because
you
know
my
livelihood
and
people
that
work
for
for
us,
their
livelihood
depends
on
that
as
well.
So
it's
kind
of
a
catch-22,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
my
input.
G
I
got
those
emails
as
well
and
a
couple
were
in
my
district
and
I
understand
that.
But
you
got
to
look
at
the
big
picture
as
well.
You
can
open
up
and
then
you
get
a
lot
of
possible
pot.
Nobody
knows
what
you
get
a
lot
of
additional
infections
and
then,
where
do
you
go
from
there?
You
know
then
you're
at
herd
immunity
where
everybody's
going
to
be
in
it
for
themselves,
and
I
think,
as
a
as
a
commissioner
that
represents
lots
of
people.
D
So
I
mean
they're
they're
trying
to
be
very
cautious,
and
I
can
appreciate
where
they're
coming
from
and
like
kim
said.
Even
if
they
say
all
right,
everybody
can
go
out.
I
don't
think
everybody's
gonna
go
out,
because
there's
still
that
level
of
not
knowing-
and
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is-
is
expose
one
of
our
our
parents
or
older
friends
to
this
virus
and
then
end
up
losing
them.
So
that's
being
what
I
got
to
say,
thanks
mike
all
right.
C
So
I
talked
to
the
county
executive
before
about
memorial
day
services,
so
the
veterans
have
been
asking
me
well:
do
we
usually
have
it
at
the
county
building
cemeteries
it's
outside,
so
I
don't
know,
maybe
county
executive
cast
the
governor's
office
about
that
too.
Now
these
are
older.
Gentlemen,
a
lot
of
times
too,
so
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
that
issue
also,
but
it
is
outside.
C
G
D
K
B
N
I
O
N
N
K
I
N
N
N
N
N
Actually,
just
go
get
the
testing
done
here.
You
can
go
to
the
mclaren
base
site
at
uptown.
They
also
have
kind
of
a
drive-through
thing.
There
are
also
a
number
of
tests
that
are
being
provided
by
different
providers
in
the
community.
Different
doctors,
offices
and
those
that
I'm
referring
to
specifically
here
are
the
pcr
tests.
N
We
are
cautioning
folks
out
there
at
this
point
in
time
that
you
need
to
be
careful
with
the
antibody
test,
because,
while
the
antibodies
test
will
show
whether
or
not
that
there's
a
present
presence
or
absence
for
antibodies
for
coronavirus,
it's
not
necessarily
differentiated
between
specific
coping,
19,
related
coronavirus
or
coronavirus.
That's
can
be
associated
with
the
common
cold
and
some
of
the
other
things.
N
On
average
in
bay
county,
we
have
about
23
deaths
per
year
to
flu
and
pneumonia,
so,
as
you
can
see
right
now
we're
about
halfway
there
now.
The
other
thing
to
take
into
consideration
is
that's
10
deaths
in
two
months.
So,
if
we
extrapolate
at
this
point
in
time-
and
we
see
more
cases,
we
are
on
par
to
have
at
least
60
deaths
per
year
if
we
can't
adequately
find
these
and
stop
the
virus
on
time.
So
that's
quite
a
bit
more
than
the
23
that
we
typically
see
in
2019.
N
There
was
about
35
deaths
due
to
flu
and
pneumonia
and,
as
you
can
tell
too,
these
deaths
typically
fluctuate
from
year
to
year.
Another
good
indicator
would
be
how
many
flu
and
ammonia
deaths
were
on
average.
In
saginaw
county
and
that,
typically
in
that
time,
period
of
2013
to
2018
was
about
47
deaths,
they're
almost
up
to
90
deaths
for
coronavirus,
as
well
in
the
span
of
two
months
as
well.
So
that's
the
that's.
The
comparison
between
the
two
and
coronavirus,
as
you
can
see,
is
it's
much
more
virulent.
It's.
N
E
B
N
G
N
Okay,
so
one
of
the
most
important
elements
in
our
work
with
coronavirus
is,
is
contact
tracing
and
to
find
out
number
one.
We
get
in
touch
with
people
that
are
that
are
tested
positive,
and
then
we
try
to
find
out
who
their
close
contacts
are.
So
when
we
contact
a
person
that
test
positive
number
one,
we
want
to
know
what
their
current
status
is.
Are
they
symptomatic
how
sick
they
are?
We
try
to
provide
guidance
to
that.
I
N
Hospital
if
they
become
hospitalized,
and
we
try
to
track
their
progress
through
there,
it's
a
long
and
time
consuming
process,
as
you
can,
as
you
can
imagine,
but
the
other
part
of
that
too,
is
if,
once
we
get
the
contacts
they're
close
contacts,
we
try
to
get
in
touch
with
with
these
folks
and
determine
if
they
are
close
contacts
and
number
two
if
they
should
be
quarantined
and
if
they're
symptomatic.
Furthermore,
should
they
be
isolated.
N
So
with
that
being
said,
as
far
as
determining
how
many
cases
are
resolved,
that's
just
a
matter.
It's
a
product
of
our
efforts
in
the
state's
efforts
in
getting
in
touch
with
these
folks
that
are
considered
positive
and
determining
if
they've
recovered
or
not,
and
some
there's
a
lot
of
lag
time
with
that,
because
it's
a
very.
I
N
Like
I
said,
it's
very
much
a
resource,
intense
driven
process,
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
and
we're
constantly
moving
on
to
new
cases
as
as
you
can
see
today,
we've
had
50
or
60
more
cases
in
the
past
week.
That's
on
average
you
get
about
anywhere
from
six
to
12
to
20
contacts
per
person.
That
is
positive.
So
there's.
C
So
nursing
homes,
my
mother,
being
in
one
of
them,
I
have
been
following
she's
at
bay
shores,
but
there
is
a
website
that
the
department
of
health
state
has
out
where
you
can
check
nursing
homes.
If
you
have
people
in
nursing
homes
about
how
many
cases
for
the
workers
and
how
many
cases
for
the
residents.
So
if
you
have
somebody
in
a
nursing
home,
there's
a
way
that
you
can
track
and
see.
E
N
Yeah
and
that's
one
of
the
problems
that
we've
had,
we've
actually
done
pretty
extensive
outreach
to
the
nursing
homes
and
are
in
daily
contact
with
many
of
them.
So,
in
addition
to
this,
I
might
add
too,
is
that
the
state
police
has
gotten
into
the
pitcher
as
well,
and
they've
also
contacted
nursing
homes
and,
in
some
cases,
they've
actually
done
extensive
testing
through
some
of
these
nursing
homes.
E
B
L
L
I
know
we
do
have
some
discrepancies
there.
I
did
some
preliminary
numbers
myself,
but
I'd
like
to
make
that
motion
and
that
we
expend
ten
thousand
dollars
and
allow
the
administrative
services
director
to
hire
that
work
done,
and
I
believe
our
our
limit
is
five
thousand
dollars
for
not
bidding
it
out.
L
G
Yeah,
I
I
think
we
should
kind
of
do
it.
The
other
way
around
is
figure
out
how
much,
how
much
of
a
millage
increase
that
the
public
would
be
willing
to
realistically
vote
for
and
if
we
could
come
up
with
that
number,
whether
it's
a
half
a
mill
or
whatever
it
would
be,
and
how
much
that
particular
revenue
would
be
generated
annually
and
then
you
would
be
able
to
have
dollar
amount.
G
G
This
is
for
the
expansion
of
the
the
facility
and
then,
if
it's
passed,
then
you
got
the
money
to
do
whatever
you
know.
You'll
know
how
much
money
you've
got
and
what
you'll
have
to
do
in
order
to
you
know
what
type
of
an
expansion
you
would
have
to
or
that
you
would
put
out
there.
So
I
don't
like
spend
money
without
knowing
you
know,
spend
money,
and
then
it
gets
voted
down
and
kind
of
wasted
the
money-
let's,
let's
just
put
the
put
it
on
the
ballot.
G
H
Mr
version
yeah,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
I'd,
just
like
to
say
that
I
think
you
know.
I
hope
that
the
voters
you
know
after
we've
come
through
this
pandemic
and
a
lot
of
people
are
doing
financially
stressed
that
they
don't
think
the
county
is
piling
on
with
all
these
millage
requests
to
increase
their
taxes,
the
library
system,
the
bay
county,
medical
care
facility,
possibly
the
animal
shelter.
You
know,
we've
the
last
three
years.
H
H
Why
would
you
know
they
need
to
know
if
they
voluntarily
increase
their
property
taxes?
What
is
going
to
change?
How
are
things
going
to
be
different,
and
I
think
we
have
to
have
those
those
answers
for
them
before
they
vote
if
you're
looking
at
a
november
election?
So
I
don't
you
know
I
it's
up
to
the
board.
Whatever
you
want
to
do,
I
know
in
the
past,
we've
had
difficulty
getting
any.
You
know
support
for
financial
investments
out
at
the
animal
shelter.
H
So,
but
I
I
would
remind
you
that
if
you
put
you
know,
conceived
proposal
on
the
ballot
in
november
and
it
goes
down
to
defeat
you're,
probably
looking
at
six
to
eight
years
before
you
can
ask
again,
because
the
public
will
remember
you
just
keep
coming
back
with
a
millage
election
that
irritates
them.
They
get
very
upset
and
typically
they
don't
relent,
and
just
after
the
third
or
fourth
attempt
on
the
ballot
just
go
ahead
and
prove
it.
H
I
would
I'll
just
say
I
think
you
know
a
lot
of
the
festivals
are
being
cancelled
because
they're,
some
of
the
the
organizers,
are
having
trouble
finding
the
financial
resources
to
you
know,
support
even
our
festivals
and
parades
this
summer,
but
you
know
I
I
don't
want
to
weigh
in
too
much.
I
think
it's
up
to
the
board,
but
if
you
I
just
hope
that
we
have
a
plan
going
forward.
We
don't
throw
something
on
and
make
some
improvements.
We
don't
have
staff
to
to
service.
H
D
Krieger,
thank
you.
Maybe
we
could
get
a
little
bit
of
comment
from
bob
redman.
I'm
I'm
sure
that
you've
looked
at
some
of
what
mike's
talking
about
and
when
kim
mentions
you
know.
What's
that
money
going
to
be
spent
for
I'm
I'm
hearing,
maybe
two
things.
One
is
well
we're
going
to
do
an
expansion
and
then
I'm
also
hearing
well,
maybe
it's
also
going
to
be
used
for
daily,
you
know
could
be
payroll
could
be
anything.
D
D
E
O
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes
go
ahead,
I
see
the
animal
control.
Building
company
needs
an
expansion,
and
I
don't
know
how
they've
been
keeping
the
dogs
and
cats
in
there
where
they
don't
even
hold.
The
funnels
just
depends
on
which
how
much
they're
going
to
need
the
reason
commissioner,
less
is
laughing
from
five
to
ten
thousand
dollars
is
just
so
that
they
have
a
drawing
and
a
one-page
relation
of
everything
they're
going
to
be
doing
so.
O
O
What
the
condition
of
the
animal
control
center
is.
They
will
be
positive,
passing
it
just
this
month,
a
number
of
communities.
I
don't
know
if
you've
seen
it
had
several
millage
ballots
on,
and
I
think
maybe
one
didn't
pass.
The
rest
of
them
all
past.
I
was
concerned
earlier
about
the
same
same
thing
that
commissioner
kunin
and
others
were
concerned
about
whether
the
people
will
pass
it
or
not.
Well,
you
got
to
ask
the
question
before
you
get
an
answer.
O
H
B
D
L
L
You
know
much
like
what
kim
koon
is
saying.
You
know,
my
my
being
an
engineer.
My
preliminary
figures
working
out
came
up
to
a
little
over
a
million
dollar
project,
but
if
we
go
up
to
a
million
three
in
a
project
which
would
be
even
farther
a
lot
further
than
what
my
initial
thoughts
were,
and
my
thoughts
only
came
from
working
with
craig
and
christian
walking
through
the
facility
one
day.
L
So
you
know
my
mine
were
only
preliminary
things
just
to
come
up
with
some
preliminary
numbers
if
we
go
and
when
we
ask
for
millings,
if
we
use
a
1.3
million
dollar
project,
which
is
you
know,
250
000,
more
or
25
more
than
what
I
was,
my
original
plans
were:
okay.
That
still
only
equates
with
the
current
operating
cost
of
the
facility
of
a
0.3
mill
increase.
L
L
I
mean
if
you're,
if
you're,
if
your
household
is
going
to
be
at
50
000,
then
you'd
be
paying
15
okay
per
year.
So
but
we
need,
but
we
need
to
have
some
concrete
drawings.
Some
some
initial
plans,
some
thoughts
put
into
it
as
far
as
we're
doing,
and
that's
why
I'm
trying
to
get
the
ten
thousand
dollars
approved
to
get
that
work
done
in
a
in
preparation
for
us
to
bring
forth
the
millage
in
july.
L
B
Thank
you,
commissioner,
lutz
I've
got
a
input.
Little
input
in
this.
Do
I
agree
with
the
commissioner
lutz
that
we
cannot
go
for
a
millage
and,
as
mr
redmond
says,
we've
got
to
have
some
kind
of
a
plan
and
show
them
some
drawings
and
ten
thousand
dollars
to
try
and
get
this
accomplished
is
that
seems
to
me
as
a
real.
B
J
H
Yeah,
I
don't
hear
the
same
thing
when
I've
been
in
northern
bay
county,
mr
chairman,
they
want
also
an
animal
center
in
northern
bay
county
they're,
going
to
support.
That's
what
they've
told
me,
but
I
just
really
don't
know
why
it
sounds
like
you're,
apparently
all
set
to
put
this
on
the
november
ballot.
You
just
need
a
picture.
