The purpose of the meeting was to pay the claims incurred by the County for the previous month as well as those accrued from the prior year.
The Clerk pointed out that on Page 12 of the non-accrued claims, there was an error in entering of numbers. It was for United County Officers Association for “Subscriptions and Dues” for the County Clerk. The amount entered was $120.00 and should have been $100.00
The Committee went through the claims with a number of questions.
The Chairman stated that there were two additional items at this time to be added to claims; one was from the Michigan Association of County Administrative Officers for the Administrator’s membership dues in the amount of $190.00, and the second was for the Friend of the Court payment to Standard Register Company in the amount of $973.32.
A motion by Mr. Lewinski, supported by Mr. Kangas to recommend to the Board of Commissioners to pay the claims as presented along with the accruals and the prepaids, as well as the claim to Michigan Association of County Administrative Officers in the amount of $190.00 line item 101-172-810.00 and the claim to Standard Register Company for the Friend of the Court, line item 215-141-730.00 in the amount of $973.32. Yeas 8, Nays 0, Absent 1. Motion carried.
The
Chairman stated that the County Treasurer might need to leave the regular County
Board meeting for another meeting. He
asked if there were any Committee members who had reviewed their Board agenda
and had questions of the County Treasurer on her correspondence on the regular
agenda pertaining to investment policies that they should ask her know even
though the Committee could not take formal action.
The County Treasurer basically explained in her
letter that she was proposing an amendment to the “Investment Policy”
adopted in 1998. The result of the change if approved would allow her to be more
flexible in her investments. This
was something that has been currently done by the Grand View Finance Authority
and the County Treasurer, on behalf of the County, wished to have that same
opportunity.
The Committee thanked her for her response.
There were no further “Other Matters”.
There were no “Public Comments”.
A motion by Mr. Bennetts, supported by Mr. Pezzetti
to adjourn. Motion carried.
