Justice
before
we
make
any
motions
or
anything,
I
would
ask
the
commissioners
if,
when
you
make
a
motion,
please
raise
your
hand
and,
as
you
make
the
motion
state
your
name
behind
it,
so
that
the
clerk,
because
of
the
mask
and
stuff,
are
difficult,
sometimes
to
pick
up
who
it
is.
If
you
make
a
motion
and
at
the
end
of
the
motion
say
or
before
either
either
way,
it
would
be
appreciated
for
the
recording
clip.
Thank
you
minutes
of
the
9

meeting.
What's
your
pleasure.

I
I
just
want
to
mention
that
mac
michigan
association
counties-
this
continues
to
be
an
issue
that
they've
been
dealing
with
for
a
while
about
the
funding
split
and
and
how
the
money
comes
back
to
the
county.
So
it's
an
ongoing
discussion
with
department,
health
or
whatever
department
have
to
deal
with
down
there
to
make
it
equal
with
the
state.
It's
been
an
ongoing
problem
at
times,
so
they
continue
to
monitor
it.
Thank
you.

So
the
grant
we've
got
a
couple
years
now.
So
that's
part
of
the
funding
and
then
also
the
millage
that
we
have.
So
it's
not
anything
out
of
the
general
fund
and
if
the,
if
the
grant
goes
away,
then
it's
in
the
motion
that
we
would
revisit
it.
So
we
hope
to
keep
up
the
grant
from
the
state
and
not
have
to
use
any
general
fund.
We
use
millage
money
now
and
then
they'll
be
employees
and
they'll
be
full-time
and
we'll
have
more
hours
for
the
veterans
than
to
be
ending
a
friday
and.
A
F
A
G
A
F
A
A
F
A
A
F
F
F
A
A
H
A
H
G
I
H
Kind
of
you
know
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
enough
time
to
do
it,
I
don't
want
to
put
us
in
a
position
where
we're
going
to
those
departments
and
they
can't
come
to
some
sort.
You
know
agreement
on
how
to
go
about
this.
I
don't
think
you
know.
I
certainly
want
within
our
the
next
month.
Well,
I
I
don't
know
where
those
talks
are
gonna
go
and
how
we're
gonna
arrive
at
a
recommendation.
H
A
And
when
he's
come
up
with
his
conclusion
or
advice
and
recommendation
that
time
would
come
before
the
board
exactly
via
a
special
meeting
if
necessary
exactly?
Is
that
good?
That's
good?
Okay!
So
we
have
a
motion.
Do
we
have
a
support
by
commissioner
coonan,
any
other
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
aye
aye
opposed
same
sign.
Aye
motion
is
oh
I'm
sorry,
commissioner,
lutz
was
an
a.
I
J
I
Thank
you.
One
more
question
question
for
craig
about
the
the
funding
level
veteran
service
officer.
Is
that
funding
level
correct
there
for
they're
both
at
the
1401
entry?
Would
the
service
officer
be
at
the
same
level
as
the
type
of
clerk
or
are
they
both
classified
as
type
as
clerk?
I
guess
I
don't
know
if
craig
can
answer
or
not
or
tiffany?
I
Yes,
I'm
just
questioning
the
you
know.
We
have
a
service
officer
which
is
a
pretty
technical
job
and
takes
a
lot
of
training
and
his
entry
point
is
the
same
as
the
type
of
clerk
at
1401.
So
I
don't
know,
maybe
I
can
get
that
answered
somewhere
along
the
it's
line,
entry
level,
so
I
don't
know
if
correct
they
would
qualify
as
well.
They
haven't
been
full-time
positions,
they've
just
been
the
1099s.
I
D
A
A
D
D
M
D
A
We
have
motion
and
support
any
discussion
on.
I
believe
I
can't
remember
the
date,
but
it's
like,
I
think
the
23rd
commissioner,
a
commissioner
and
myself
and
county
executive
barsha
are
going
to
do
that
presentation
here,
keep
it
safe
because
you
know
just
to
make
sure
everybody's,
safe
and
everything.
A
So
we
have
that
arranged
and
if
there's
commissioners
that
would
like
to
do
that,
get
ahold
of
the
end
and
we'll
get
you
on
the
you
know
on
the
schedule-
and
you
can
be
here
too,
as
long
as
we
got
to
be
safe
and
we're
our
maths
and
six
feet.
So
this
is
what
we
got
to
do
any
other
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye,
hi,
post
same
sign
motion
is
carried
and
that's
all
I.
J
J
I
want
to
thank
the
board,
the
chairman
and
everyone
for
making
up
the
difference,
and
I
know
it
was
a
little
extra
work
on
our
personnel
department
to
round
off
the
hazard
pay
to
one
thousand
dollars
by
having
the
county
pick
up
the
withholding
from
that.
One
thousand
dollar
hazard
pay
bonus
for
our
first
responders,
so
we've
received
a
full
100
and
two
thousand
dollars
and
then
out
of
some
of
the
other
general
fund
money,
we
made
up
the
balance
on
that.
J
So
hopefully
our
first
responders
know
how
much
we
appreciate
their
service
and
the
fact
that
they
worked
diligently
through
the
crisis
when
other
other
employees
did
not
have
to
do
that.
Could
work
remotely
or
or
not
at
all,
so
also
with
the
public
safety,
public
health
grants,
replacing
wages
and
benefits
we
filed
or
asked
for
1
million
318
hundred
and
seventy
eight
dollars
and
of
that
amount.
So
far,
we
we
have
received
fifty
percent
or
half
of
that.
J
J
So
we
will
continue
to
monitor
that
to
make
sure
that
bay
county
receives
every
penny
that
we're
entitled
to,
and
there
is
another
stimulus
package
pending
in
congress
and
so
we'll
wait
to
see
how
much
money
comes
back
to
the
states
and
hopefully
county
governments,
because
in
our
case,
in
michigan,
while
those
counties
that
were
over
500
000
in
population
they
received,
you
know
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars,
those
that
that
weren't
at
the
500
000
I
mean
the
500.
Excuse
me,
the
500
000
population
level
received
significantly
less.
A
All
right,
thank
you
at
this
time.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
jan
and
her
whole
finance
department
for
the
job
that
they
they
did,
that
just
you
know
the
emails
and
stuff
it
was
relentless
four
or
five
of
them
a
day,
sometimes
coming
in
on.
This
cares,
act
and
stuff,
and
these
they
just
a
fantastic
job
and
lots
of
signing
of
papers
and
everything
but
they're
they're.
J
Yeah,
mr
chairman,
yeah,
I
want
to
reiterate
how
much
we
appreciate
the
dedication
of
jan
kim
michelle
the
entire
department
staff
there.
They
all
worked
exceptionally
hard
was
supplying
all
of
the
documentation
that
the
entities
needed
and
also,
mr
chairman,
want
to.
Thank
you
too,
because
you
also
and
worked
especially
hard.
G
J
No,
not
necessarily,
for
example,
the
cost
on
the
benefits
and
wages
would
have
been
paid
out
anyway,
but
because
of
covet
in
april
and
may
the
federal
the
the
money
that
came
in
was
displace
that
money
that
we
would
have
had
to
pay
out
anyway
for
salaries
and
benefits
in
the
health
department.
So
we
should
be
in
good
shape
at
the
end
of
this
year.
G
N
We
had
an
estimated
a
loss
of
revenue
for
the
2020
year
of
a
little
over
600
000
from
revenue
sharing,
so
the
additional
funds
of
the
2.7
are
making
up
for
that
again.
Some
were
additional
costs,
but
the
additional
costs
were
a
lot
smaller
than
what
were
actually
our
reimbursement
grants.
For
instance,
the
sheriff's
department,
a
58
000,
that's
a
reimbursement
grant.
We
haven't
spent
that
yet
so
the
12
000
we've
received,
we've
actually
covered
our
cost
there.
So
what
we
have?
J
Also,
it
would
be
remiss
to
not
thank
tiffany
jerry
and
her
department
and
her
on
her
leadership
on
the
work
share
program
which
saved
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
replace
the
revenue
sharing
cut
that
we
would
have
suffered.
Having
had
our
employees,
288
employees
not
participated
in
the
work
share
program,
so
I
often
also
offer
a
compliment
to
tiffany
and
to
all
those
in
on
in
the
finance
staff
that
also
worked
very,
very
diligently
to
make
sure
that
we
complied
with
all
the
requirements
and
all
the
paperwork
that
needed
to
be
filed.
So
thank.
A
N
Don't
have
the
actual
figure,
but
the
townships
are
being
reimbursed
for
their
april
and
may
sheriff's
department
on
wages
and
benefits
the
ones
that
we
have
out
on
the
contracted
out
on
the
road,
so
that
will
be
reimbursed
to
them.
What
we're
asking
them
to
do
is
not
pay
their
november
monthly
bill.
We
have
a
letter
that
we're
getting
approved
right
now
to
send
out
to
tell
them
not
to
pay
so
we're
just
going
to
offset
their
costs.
J
But
also
townships
have
submitted
costs
that
they
experienced
and
jan
we're
awaiting
community
development
block
grant
money.
Hopefully
we
don't
know
if
would
be
100,
but
hopefully
a
decent
percentage
of
what
townships
expended
through
bay
county
since
they
are
ineligible
as
our
cities,
the
county
would
be
the
recipient
of
that
community
development
block
grant
funding
which
then
would
be
distributed,
hopefully
on
a
proportionate
basis
to
the
various
townships,
to
help
compensate
them
for
some
of
their
losses.
E
M
M
M
The
high
schools
are
going
in
session
in
person
next
week,
and
so
those
are
going
to
be
a
bigger
challenge
for
us,
and
my
staff
is
diligently
working
every
day
with
the
schools
in
order
to
maintain
their
operations
and
ensure
that
they
are
able
to
continue
operations
unabated
and
that's
gonna.
That's
a
difficult
thing.
We're
kind
of
stretched
right
now,
personnel,
wise-
and
you
know
it's
kind
of
difficult
for
us
to
get
to
all
the
cases,
but
we're
actually
doing
that.
M
What
we're
seeing,
basically,
though,
is
that
our
test
positivity
rate
is
about
that
seven
day.
Average
is
about
two
point,
six
percent
and
it
hovers
around
three
percent,
but
we
can
anticipate
that
that
will
actually
go
up
in
the
coming
coming
weeks,
and
especially
with
winter
months
coming
on
people
going
more
inside
and
with
the
lack
of
adequate
ventilation,
especially
in
crowded
public
places.
M
M
That
is
over
the
age
of
60
and
it
is
incumbent
upon
every
resident
here
in
bay
county
to
do
their
part
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
the
virus,
and
if
that
means,
distancing
and
wearing
a
mask
in
ensuring
adequate
hygiene
and
doing
everything
in
their
part
and
that's
what
we
need
to
do.
The
hospital
numbers
are
are
down
relatively
and
that's
for
a
number
of
different
reasons,
primarily
because
the
treatments
have
gotten
better
and
we're
able
to
keep
people
out
of
inpatient
treatment
as
much
as
possible.
M
E
M
M
The
death
rate
is
90
times
higher
nationally
for
that
same
age
category,
and
then,
when
you
get
into
the
age
category
of
75
to
84,
the
hospitalization
rate
is
about
eight
times
higher,
but
the
death
rate
is
220
times
higher,
and
even
if
you
get
down
to
lower
age
categories
like
the
30
to
39,
the
hospitalization
rate
is
double
that
of
the
18
to
29
year
old
age,
category
and
10
times
higher
of
the
death
rate.
So
this
isn't
just
you
know
a
simple
case
of
of
the
flu.
G
Conan,
thank
you
joel,
and
you
know
we
should
be
stressing
to
people
to
wear
the
mask
for
no
other
reason,
if
you
don't
want
to
protect
yourself
or
anybody
else
to
get
the
economy
back,
because
you
know
you've
got
that
leisure
industry
which
has
been
destroyed.
You've
got
the
service
industry.
You've
got
restaurants
where
you
can
open
it
up
to
hurt
immunity,
but
people
aren't
coming
out,
and
so
if
people
would
just
wear
the
mask
to
try
to
so
where
we
can
manage
this,
so
businesses
can
get
some
semblance
of
normalcy.
G
M
I
I
M
O
Amber
hello,
mr
chair,
the
only
thing
that
I
wanted
to
add
is
related
to
miss
commissioner
big
statement
on
the
open
meetings
act
technically
under
the
currently
existing
form
of
the
open
meetings
act.
The
board
could
continue
to
have
remote
virtual
meetings
that
will
change.
If
this
new
legislation
is
passed,
amending
the
open
meetings
act
technically,
we
did
not
need
the
emergency
order
from
the
governor
to
hold
remote
meetings.
We
just
needed
to
change
our
own
internal
rules,
which
we
did
this
new
legislation.
O
That's
coming
through,
would
actually
restrict
the
open
meetings
act
to
only
allow
us
to
have
these
virtual
meetings.
If
there
is
a
local
state
of
emergency
declared
either
through
our
emergency
manager
under
existing
statute,
potentially
under
our
local
health
officer
or
if
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
were
to
issue
a
statewide
pandemic
order,
he
would
be
allowed
to
continue
the
zoom
meetings.
I
have
not
had
a
chance
yet
to
look
to
see
whether
or
not
those
current
orders
issued
by
the
michigan
department
of
health
and
human
services
would
qualify
as
a
statewide
order.
A
Miscellaneous
county
executive
barsha
and
myself
made
our
presentation
to
the
pink
county
boys
club
of
the
money
from
bay
county,
which
was
15
000,
and
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
every
that
we
thanked
all
the
commissioners
and-
and
they
were
all
so
thankful
that
they
won't
have
to
have
rain
dripping
on
their
heads
and
they're
gonna
have
heat.
So
they
were
really
happy.
Mr
garcia,
yes,.
J
I
just
I
know
to
add
to
what
the
chairman
said,
that
the
kids
were
ecstatic
and
the
staff
and
the
chairman
of
the
board
were
there
and,
along
with
fred
cook,
who's
been
a
major
leader
on
behalf
of
the
boys
and
girls
clubs
here
in
bay
county
and
at
the
state
national
levels
as
well.
But
we
were
well
received.
The
kids
were
ecstatic,
it
was
a
great
great
event
and
socially
distanced
and
very
safe
right.
A
That's
it:
let's
see
announcements,
any
announcements,
appointments
november
building
authority,
one
six
year
term,
expiring
in
december,
we're
going
to
have
a
department
on
aging
advisory
committee,
four
two-year
terms
in
districts,
two
four
six
and
an
at-large,
and
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
think
jody
and
julie
and
nick
for
their
great
job
of
setting
this
up
and
also
joel
for
giving
us
advice
on
how
we
can
safely
hold
our
meetings
back
with
some
sorts
of
some
sort
of
normalcy
and
at
least
no
echo.
So
