Montcalm County commissioners approved a series of routine but substantive items at their Nov. 10 meeting, including a facilities contract, grant agreements, a treatment contract signature request and three warrant reports totaling $3,316,956.78.

Facilities contract: The board approved a contract with Advantage Mechanical Refrigerations not to exceed $72,900 to replace 35 PTAC units at the Health Department and Commission on Aging and to supply one complete unit for the CT scanner building (36 units total). The motion was moved by a commissioner and carried by voice vote.

Grants and contracts: The board approved the Byrne/JAG (Justice Assistance Grant) agreement and authorized signatures; staff noted the county has participated in the program previously and will act as paymaster for designated services. The board also approved signatures for a Community Corrections treatment agreement (OMSP program at Tri‑Cap), noting the underlying contract had been approved previously.

Warrants and consent: Controller presented three warrant reports: $2,606,068.22 (10/30/2025), $129,383.87 (11/06/2025) and $581,504.69 (11/10/2025) for a grand total of $3,316,956.78; the board approved the reports and authorized signatures. Consent agenda items 7 through 10 — including a resolution to reappoint the county medical examiner and Cowden Lake level matters — were placed on file.

Next step: Contracts and grant documents were authorized for signatures and procurement/finance staff will proceed with execution and payment as appropriate.
