The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners is set to convene for its Executive Board Session on January 9, 2024, at the Leelanau County Government Center in Suttons Bay, Michigan. The agenda for this meeting includes a variety of action items and updates from county officials and departments. Key action items include the acceptance of an anonymous donation for the Sheriff’s Office to purchase medical bags, approval of the Conservation District’s FY 2024 work orders, and the renewal of the annual maintenance agreement for the Barracuda Essentials software used by the Information Technology department. Additionally, the meeting will cover updates from the Administrator, Conservation District, and Leland Dam Authority, as well as discussions on various resolutions and agreements, including the use of non-program income by the Land Bank Fast Track Authority and the South Bar Lake Drainage District’s full faith and credit pledge.

The meeting will also address the potential 2024 millage proposal for Senior Services, the 86th District Court’s operating agreement, and the renewal of the legal counsel contract with Cohl, Stoker & Toskey, P.C. Other topics on the agenda include the Broadband Project agreement, the Bay Area Recycling for Community’s electronics disposal agreement, and the FOIA appeal by Commissioner Lautner. The Board will review financials, consider employee culture/climate survey recommendations, and discuss staffing updates across various departments. Public comment periods are scheduled, allowing community members to voice their concerns and opinions on agenda-specific and general topics.

The document also outlines the process for developing and approving a Materials Management Plan (MMP) as per Michigan’s Part 115 regulations. This process involves multiple steps, including filing a Notice of Intent (NOI), appointing a Designated Planning Agency (DPA) and a Materials Management Planning Committee (MMPC), drafting and approving the MMP, and ensuring public participation through comment periods and hearings. The MMP must be approved by the County Approval Agency (CAA) and a majority of the municipalities within the planning area before being submitted to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) for final review and approval. The entire process must be completed within 36 months from the filing of the NOI.
