K
You
all
right,
thank
you
board
of
commissioners.
It's
a
pleasure,
seeing
you
all
again.
I
wish
we
could
be
meeting
in
person,
but
unfortunately
we're
just
not
there
yet.
I
just
want
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
here
to
talk
to
you
about
erm
connect
which
you're
going
to
be
voting
on
here
in
a
little
bit.
What
that
is
it's
a
free
service
to
us.
K
The
contract
that
you're
voting
on
is
the
contract,
that's
going
to
be
between
us
and
the
party
lenders,
which
is
simple
file,
csc
epn
and
there's
a
few
other
vendors.
What
that's
going
to
do
is
it's
going
to
allow
us
to
e-record
one
soft
system,
so
we
don't
have
four
or
five
six
different
windows
open
trying
to
do
different
recordings,
and
also
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
balancing
four
or
five
different
sheets
from
different
software
companies.
K
It'll
all
be
done
underneath
one
roof
and,
like
I
said,
that's
all
it's
all
free
to
the
county.
There's
no
cost
incurred
whatsoever.
So
that's
that
part
of
it.
The
other
thing
I
got
some
really
good
news,
and
I
think
you
guys
are
going
to
like
this
priya,
which
is
a
property
record.
Industry
association,
has
a
13
board,
13
person
board
that
controls
the
national
standards
for
what
registers
and
deeds
do
across
the
nation,
and
you
are
looking
at
the
most
current
number
of
that
board.
K
A
L
E
Administration
is
finally
able
to
present
the
board
with
this
final
proposal
and
resolution
for
the
rehabilitation
of
senator
ridge
arms
at
no
cost
to
bay
county.
As
all
of
you
know,
mht
and
the
county
have
been
diligently
working
to
find
a
way
to
not
only
rehabilitate
the
existing
center
ridge
arms
building,
but
also
provide
the
tenants
with
more
mobility
and
expanded
choices
in
their
subsidized
housing
options
and
relieve
the
county
of
any
liability
for
the
cost
of
improvements
to
the
existing
structure
not
currently
covered
by
cras
capital
fund.
E
We
are
happy
to
announce
that,
through
a
great
deal
of
research,
footwork
and
collaboration
with
hud
and
the
michigan
state
housing
development
authority,
our
partner
mht
has
crafted
a
unique
path
forward
to
not
only
achieve
those
goals
but
also
allow
the
county
to
maximize
and
preserve
its
current
interest
in
the
physical
structure,
in
form
of
an
estimated
1.8
million
dollar
long-term
note
in
investment
into
the
project
and
also
receive
unrestricted
funds
likely
in
excess
of
half
a
million
dollars
in
the
form
of
a
development
fee.
As
well
as.
E
Available
opeb
liability
of
the
prior
employees
at
center
ridge
arms
as
well.
This
financing
and
conversion
plan,
a
new
program
author
offered
through
hud,
called
a
streamlined
conversion
plan,
will
allow
the
county
to
seek
outside
financing
in
the
form
of
an
investment
in
low-income
tax
credits
provided
by
the
national
equity
fund
and
michigan
financing.
E
The
entire
development
budget
of
9.8
million
dollars
will
cover
the
cost
of
local
contractors
and
suppliers,
which
will
be
used
as
often
as
possible,
as
well
as
the
prevailing
wage
that
will
be
paid
to
workers
on
this
project
bay.
County's
current
hud
public
housing
administration
housing
plan
is
inherently
limited
by
restrictions
that
prevent
it
from
long-term
viability
because
it
prohibits
the
county
from
seeking
outside
financing
to
rehabilitate
the
building.
G
Yes,
yeah,
I
looked
at
some
of
the
comments
from
the
residents.
Look.
Look
pretty
positive
sounds
like
a
pretty
good
deal
for
them
too.
I
think
some
were
concerned
about
the
fees
and
costs
looks
like
that's
not
going
to
be
a
problem,
so
I
think
thanks
zach
for
doing
that
doing
the
survey
and
getting
some
good
results
back.
Thank
you.

H
Commissioner
kunin
well,
thank
you.
The
college,
probably
the
the
point
source,
probably
that
contaminates
or
provides
most
of
the
pollution
to
the
bay
and
it's
a
good
thing
that
doing
something
there
to
try
to
get
those
septic
tanks,
current
and
and
speaking
of
the
state
state
park.
It's
phenomenal
the
numbers
of
people
that
go
out
there,
I
every
once
in
a
while.
A
I
I
understand
it's
a
25
match
for
the
homeowner
and
supposedly
we
have
enough
to
do
60
systems
and
I
guess
what
the
process
is.
How
is
the
homeowner
notified
and
what's
the
enforcement
behind
that
homewoman
are
correcting
the
the
problem
and
I
guess
to
what
degree
is
the
the
system
deemed
inefficient.
A
M
I
sure
can
so
the
match
the
25
match
will
come
from
homeowners.
The
average
percentage
will
be
75
percent,
grant
funding
to
pay
for
a
replacement
septic
system.
The
other
25
percent
is
paid
for
by
the
homeowner,
so
the
match
was
already
built
into
the
grant
like
that,
within
the
grant,
we
plan
to
hire
a
part-time,
temporary,
sanitarian
and
then
to
take
care
of
that
match
will
be
from
in-kind
services
from
my
hours
and
and
my
staff.
M
The
minute
details
on
percentage
of
costs
that
people
have
to
cover
versus
what
the
grant
pays,
but
it's
roughly
a
75
25.
It
doesn't
matter
really
how
old
they
are,
how
young
what
their
income
is.
Everybody
to
participate
in
the
program.
The
only
requirement
is
that
their
system
has
failed
and
they
have
to
be
within
the
column,
river
watershed
area,
which
is
a
very
large
portion
of
the
county.
M
We
already
have
people
calling
and
asking
about
the
program
since
it
was
listed
on
the
news
department
of
environment
listed
the
grant
awardees,
and
so
I
already
have
people
contacting
us,
and
we
expect
that
we'll
probably
have
people
coming
to
us
very
quickly.
Once
the
grant
starts-
and
I
know
we'll
be
able
to
help
quite
a
few
people.
M
As
far
as
other
details,
the
money
issued
to
contractors
have
to
become
vendors
with
bay
county,
something
we'll
work
with
finance
with
and
they'll
have
to
go
through.
Another
certification
program
with
us
to
get
licensed,
make
sure
they're
familiar
with
our
code
and
permitting
system
and
how
they're
expected
to
submit
bids
for
the
program.
It'll
be
a
bid
process.
It'll
be
three
minimum
bids
lowest
bidder,
they'll
all
be
sealed
bids,
so
the
sanitarians
whoever's
working
on
the
permits
will
not
be
bids.
They
won't
be
involved
in
that.
I
E
Hopefully,
an
improvement
in
water
quality,
but
also
the
cost
of
replacing
a
septic
field
is,
is
pretty
expensive.
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
major
relief
to
those
residents
of
bay
county
who
qualify
for
the
grants
to
help
defray
the
cost
of
investing
investing
in
their
septic
system,
enhancing
the
value
of
their
property
and
protecting
the
environment
at
the
same
time.
So
I
just
wanted,
mr
chairman,
to
thank
joel
kwedkowski
and,
of
course,
joel
strauss
for
all
the
work
he
did
but
joel.

J

H
Conan
just
wanted
to
say
anytime
anytime,
that
we
can
invest
money
in
kids.
I
think
throughout
the
county,
it's
a
good
thing
and
they
got
a
good
program
going
up.
There
looks
like,
and
you
know
it
looks
like
they
needed
a
few
dollars
just
to
complete
the
project.
So
I
think
it's.
If
we're
going
to
invest
some
money.
We
invested
in
our
youth
in
the
community.

I
J
B
J
J
H
Thank
you,
sir.
I
see
joel's
here,
that's
kind
of
joel
with
contact
tracing.
Is
that
not
correct?
Where
are
we
okay
now?
You
know
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
we're
doing.
Maybe
you
can
give
us
a
little
synopsis
of
how
we're
doing
in
the
county,
but
are
the
test
results
coming
back
any
quicker
that
makes
contract
contact,
tracing
a
valuable
tool.
N
H
Well,
thank
you.
Hoping
is
one
thing,
but
you
know
we're
about
seven
months
into
this
six
seven
months
into
this,
and
if
it's,
which
is
unfortunate,
is
if
you
know
people
are
going
to
get
this
virus
and
by
the
time
they
get
a
test,
and
you
get
the
results
of
that
test
and
you
try
to
contract
tricks.
It's
not
really.
H
N
I
think
if,
if
there
was
a
national
strategy
that
really
got
behind
building
the
capacity
in
in
the
national
laboratories
and
helping
assist
the
state
and
the
local
laboratories,
that
would
be
good.
There
are
some
positive
developments
that
are
taking
place.
I
know
that
michigan
has
entered
into
a
multi-state
compact
to
get
some
rapid
testing
done
and
that
is
antigen
testing.
That's
not
the
pcr
testing
that
is
typically
done
with
a
nasal
pharyngeal
swab,
but
this
is
a
a
test
that
can
be
done
in
about
30
minutes.
N
It
has
a
fair
number
of
false
negatives,
but
it's
actually
a
pretty
good
rapid
test
in
comparison
to
some
of
the
others
out
there
right
now,
michigan
is
slated
to
get
about
500
000
of
those
rapid
tests
over.
I
think
there's
six
million
overall
that
they're
in
their
initial
procurement,
but
there
needs
to
be
a
lot
more
done
to
that.
N
It
would
be
ideal,
as
dr
bender
and
I
have
explained
countless
times
in
the
last
two
weeks
if
we
were
to
be
able
to
have
rapid
testing
readily
available
for
persons
in
their
home.
That
could
take
either
on
a
daily
or
semi-daily
basis,
and
that
would
really
really
do
the
trick
and
be
the
game
changer
as
far
as
excluding
symptomatic
people
from
workplaces
and
schools
and
in
more
public
places,
but
that
just
doesn't
exist
right
now.
N
No,
that's.
The
antibody
test
is
separate
from
the
antigen
test,
but
the
the
pcr
test,
which
is
the
one
that
the
pcr
test,
is
kind
of
the
gold
standard,
whether
you
get
an
antigen
test
or
an
antibody
test.
An
antigen
test
will
tell
you
if
you're
fighting
the
the
virus
at
the
time
that
it's
taken,
antibody
tests
will
only
tell
you
if,
if
you
have
antibodies
for
coronavirus
or
a
coronavirus,
the
pcr
test
actually
detects
the
presence
of
the
virus
in
a
person's
body.
G
Yeah
so
yeah,
I
think
point
of
care
testing
is
what
I
see
I'm
talking
about
a
lot
at
the
clinics
where
they
have
the
rapid
testing
and
get
the
test
right
away.
Unfortunately,
as
there's
some
some
false
positives,
I've
seen
like
like
matt
stafford
and
his
family,
they
had
false
positive,
which
puts
a
little
trauma
on
your
family.
If
they
tell
you
you
have
it
and
then
turns
out,
you
don't
have
it.
So
it's
not
not
real
good
either.
Just
another
question
I
see
saginaw
is
looking
at
a
millage
in
the
fall.
G
H
Thank
you.
You
know
thinking
about
this.
I
wish
I
would
have
done
it
earlier,
but
we
should
put
a
resolution
on
our
next
board
meeting,
strongly
encouraging
washington
to
have
a
a
another
stimulus
or
the
next
stimulus
to
help
out
the
the
states
which
are
going
to
help
out
the
local
jurisdictions,
this
county
and
the
cities,
and
things
like
this.
This
is
where
the
money
needs
to
come
from
to
help.
You
know
there
needs
to
be
another
stimulus
and
I
think
we
should
probably
do
a
resolution.
H
Maybe
dean
can
put
one
together
just
to
let
them
know
in
dc
that
it's
very
important
to
us
locally,
that
the
states
do
become
part
of
the
next
stimulus
program
and
then
that
way
we
wouldn't
need
to
go
out
and
do
a
millage
for
the
health
department
and
because,
if
we're
going
to
do
millages,
there's
probably
other
things
other
than
the
health
department
that
might
be
on
the
agenda.
But
we
need
to
let
them
know,
and
I
have
some
I'm
amazed.
G
Yeah,
I
would
point
out:
nako
has
been
working
real
hard
on
local
money
and
mac.
Michigan
association
and
counties
they've
contacted
legislators
to
keep
the
counties
and
the
local
level
in
mind
been
on
a
hot
debate
and
hasn't
been
resolved.
Yet
I
guess
the
numbers
are
what
they're
working
on
right
now.
I
J
A
B
J
J
A
C
J
J
E
E
A
N
I
will
just
give
an
update
in
the
la,
as
I
mentioned
before.
In
the
last
10
days,
we've
seen
a
significant
up
the
uptick
in
cases
we've
had
about
90
cases
so
far
in
the
last
10
days,
to
give
some
some
measurement
of
that
or
engage
that
we
had
38
cases
in
the
whole
month
of
june.
That
rose
to
about
a
half
month
of
july,
we're
on
par
right
now
to
see
about
five
times
the
number
of
cases
so
about
210
cases
total
so
or
excuse
me
seven
times
in
our
cases.
N
N
So
if
they
have,
if
there's,
if
they're
forced
or
if
they
choose
to
use
that
virtual
environment,
that
students
that
may
not
have
that
adult
supervision
at
home
or
maybe
do
not
have
the
means
to
have
internet
access
at
home
can
work
online
in
a
safe
environment,
but
also
it's
a
place
where
they
can
be
safe
and
distant
safely,
and
also
excuse
me
and
also
be
eligible
for
food
benefits,
and
things
like
that
as
well.
So
we
are
continuing
to
meet
within
the
community.
