Sentinel Meeting Roundup:

Administrator Selection: The Board voted to select Patrick Waterman as the next County Administrator.

I voted for Mr. Waterman because his qualifications, deep experience in Ottawa County, and commitment to professional governance make him the best candidate for Ottawa County Administrator. I believe his leadership will provide the stability and pragmantic vision our county needs to move forward effectively.

Administrator Contract Negotiations: The Board voted to authorize the Board Chairperson to enter into contract negotiations with Patrick Waterman as the next County Administrator and to bring back to the Commission the offer of employment contract for consideration and eventual ratification.
