The Sanilac County Board of Commissioners are set to approve and authorize several projects and purchases during next week’s meeting on Tuesday, August 20.
The commissioners are slated to approve sending three Sheriff’s Office candidates to Delta College Police Academy at a combined cost of $72,000. Reimbursement for the sponsorship may be available from the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards’ Public Safety Academy Assistance grant program, but if it’s not, the commissioners plan for the funding to come from the sheriff’s office budget.
The board is also authorizing the purchase of a vehicle for the Drug Task Force, being set to approve buying a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe PPV for about $54,000, with funding from the task force’s millage fund. Meanwhile, Central Dispatch will be approved to purchase 120 pagers for emergency responders with funding from the 911 millage.
The commissioners will also be approving the closing of the courthouse next Thursday, August 22, but only for a few hours, from 11:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., for the employees’ annual picnic. Next week’s meeting is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. in room 105 of the county courthouse.
