      <image:title>News - Thoughts on the Administrator Search - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>On June 12, the Board met to interview the only remaining candidate from the initial finalist list, Michael Tremblay. It also discussed next steps for the Administrator search in broad terms. It was generally agreed that we should take a break on the process until we reconvene for our next scheduled Board meeting on June 24. Additionally, Chair Teeples urged the Board to spend some time thinking through how they might like to see the next step in the process co. In that spirit, these are some of my thoughts. Part One: Applicant Pool Re-engage Previous Applicants - We should reach out to prior applicants to confirm their continued interest in the role. This was generally agreed upon at the meeting by all Board members. Repost the Opening - To attract the most diverse and qualified group of applicants, I believe reopening the job posting for a short period, such as 2–3 weeks, makes a lot of sense. This would allow new candidates to apply while giving the County a chance to broaden its outreach efforts, ensuring no talent is overlooked. Part Two - Selecting the Finalists We are a diverse Board, with divergent opinions. To make the task easier on ourselves, I do believe it needs to be simplified.  To do that, I believe the following makes some sense: Remove External Ranking Systems Double Haul has done a good job compiling initial resumes, but going further than that seemed to bring unnecessary complications. I believe they should simply provide the board with unranked candidate materials to allow for independent evaluation. This would reduce potential bias from external ranking systems and empowers us to assess candidates based on our own criteria. Pre-Set the Number of Finalists - Avoid indecision by deciding in advance how many candidates (4-5?) will advance to the final round. A predetermined target would keep the process focused and prevent unnecessary delays. Adopt a Numerical Voting System - To make the selection process clear and objective, implement a numerical voting system. Commissioners can vote their preferred candidates by number, with results tallied publicly to determine finalists. This approach would minimize ambiguity and ensure accountability. Limit Discussions on Motion to Advance - If commissioners have already scored their preferred candidates, extended discussions before advancing finalists may be redundant. Limiting these conversations would expedite the process while respecting everyone’s evaluations and reduce the risk of confidential information inadvertently coming out. Part Three - Interviewing the Finalists Skip the Workgroup Interviews The Workgroup interview seemed to add complexity without offering clear value. Having just our own interviews with the candidates to streamline the process. This saves time for both candidates and staff while ensuring the evaluation remains thorough. Board Interviews - Perform our interviews with the finalists in much the same way we did with Mr. Tremblay, both for consistency and because I thought it very productive in getting to know the candidate. Public Forum Post-Interviews - Engage the community by organizing a public forum after the board interviews finalists to allow residents to interact with top candidates, fostering transparency and building trust in the selection process. By implementing these nine steps, or some variation on them, I believe we can create a candidate selection process that is efficient, transparent, and inclusive. Expanding the pool, re-engaging applicants, and adopting clear evaluation methods would ensure the best talent rises to the top. Let’s simplify the process without sacrificing quality—because finding the right candidate shouldn’t be harder than the job itself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Merit and our Administrator Search - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our Board rules (3.1) clearly state that "the Board shall have the power to appoint, by majority vote of the Commissioners elected and serving, a county administrator to serve Ottawa County in accordance with governing law, provided that such administrator must serve at the will of a majority vote of the Commissioners elected and serving, and further provided that the administrator shall be a professional officer appointed and serving based on qualifications and experience and not on political affiliation (MCL 46.11)." On multiple occasions during our Tuesday meeting, candidates’ assumed personal partisan leanings were cited as reasons to exclude them from advancing in our hiring process. I find this both concerning and in direct violation of our Board rules. Allowing political affiliation to influence our decision-making compromises the integrity of the selection process and jeopardizes our ability to appoint a county administrator who will effectively and impartially serve the needs of Ottawa County’s residents. We must adhere to the principle that our county administrator is selected based on merit, ensuring a professional and impartial administration as mandated.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Housing Commission Ordinance Amendment - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>On Tuesday, the Board will vote on a proposed amendment to the Housing Commission Ordinance, specifically section 400.4.2.4(b). This amendment seeks to strike the phrase “subject to the ratification of the Board of Commissioners” from the ordinance. If passed, this change would remove the Board of Commissioners’ ability to provide input on the appointment of Housing Commission members, leaving the decision solely in the hands of the chair. The Housing Commission would then need to update its bylaws to align with this change. As a member of the Ottawa County Housing Commission appointed in 2019, I have seen firsthand the value of a transparent and collaborative appointment process. When we reconstituted the Housing Commission that year, the Talent &amp; Recruitment (T&amp;R) Committee was tasked with selecting the initial five members. I was fortunate to be chosen, alongside four other individuals with diverse skill sets and deep experience. The T&amp;R committee did an exceptional job vetting applicants and presenting the Board with a strong slate of candidates. This process ensured that the public had confidence in the selections and that the Board could provide meaningful input. The amendment proposed for Tuesday’s meeting would eliminate this collaborative approach for all Board seats. While I’m grateful for my reappointment by the Chair in 2025, I believe removing the Board’s role altogether would silence not only its voice but, more critically, the public’s ability to trust in a transparent, accountable appointment process. Although state law grants the Chair final appointment authority, it doesn’t preclude the Board from recommending candidates or engaging in the process. I do not believe that abandoning a robust, public-facing system that ensures both transparancy and accountability in the selection of candidates for this important commission is in the best interest of the Board or residents of Ottawa County</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Rush Creek Brownfield TIF - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>On Tuesday April 22, we will be voting on a proposed Brownfield Plan Amendment for The Landings at Rush Creek. The project proposes to redevelop a 7-acre parcel, vacant since the early 2000s, into 84 one-bedroom townhomes under Michigan’s 381 Brownfield Act, totaling a not-to-exceed Tax Increment Financing (TIF) of $6,299,313 over 21 years. I voted in favor of the proposal in Finance Committee and will be voting in favor at Tuesday’s BOC for the following reasons. The Project Addresses a Critical Housing Shortage with Affordable Units Hudsonville has identified a specific housing need, and The Landings at Rush Creek fits that needs by committing 12 of its 84 units (14%) to households earning no more than 90% of the Area Median Income ($64,800 for one person, $74,070 for two) for the entire 21-year TIF term. This ensures affordable housing for lower- and middle-income residents, such as young professionals, seniors, or small families, who might otherwise struggle in a tight housing market. By increasing housing supply—particularly affordable options—the project helps stabilize rents and home prices, benefiting the broader community. Without this development, the site remains a missed opportunity to house dozens of families and ease pressure on Hudsonville’s housing stock. It Revitalizes a Dormant Property The 7-acre parcel, formerly a garden center, has sat vacant for over two decades, contributing negligible property taxes and no economic activity. Its underutilized state is a deterrent to Hudsonville’s potential and its efforts to create a vibrant downtown setting. Brownfield redevelopment often involves overcoming environmental or economic barriers that deter private investment without public incentives. By approving the TIF, Ottawa County enables the developer, LaCati Group LLC, to tackle these challenges, and ensure the site becomes a productive asset rather than a long term liability. It Generates Long-Term Tax Revenue While the TIF redirects $6,299,313 in incremental taxes over 21 years—including $375,915 from the county operating millage—the project’s completion will significantly boost the property’s taxable value. A vacant lot generates minimal revenue; 84 townhomes, by contrast, will create a robust tax base. After the TIF expires in approximately 2046, Ottawa County, Hudsonville, and other taxing entities (e.g., schools) will collect the full property tax revenue from this enhanced value, far exceeding what the site would yield if left undeveloped. It Stimulates Economic Growth The project’s economic impact extends beyond property taxes. Construction of 84 units will create jobs for local contractors, suppliers, and service providers during the development phase. Once occupied, the townhomes could house 100–150 residents, who will spend money at Hudsonville businesses, from grocery stores to restaurants, boosting sales tax revenue and supporting jobs. This ripple effect strengthens the local economy, making Hudsonville a more attractive place to live and invest. Moreover, the $514,960 allocated to the Local Brownfield Revolving Fund can seed future projects in Ottawa County, amplifying the public’s return on investment. The $501,842 to the State Brownfield Revolving Fund similarly supports redevelopment statewide, reinforcing Michigan’s commitment to growth. It Aligns with Community Priorities The Hudsonville City Council’s concurrence on March 11, 2025, signals strong local support, reflecting the project’s alignment with community goals. Hudsonville City leaders recognize that housing and economic development are critical to Hudsonville’s future, especially as Ottawa County grows. By approving the TIF, the county validates this local priority, fostering a partnership that ensures Hudsonville remains competitive in attracting residents and businesses. The administrative allocation of $125,688 ensures the Brownfield Authority can oversee the project effectively, safeguarding taxpayer interests. It Mitigates Risks with a Proven Framework Critics might worry about the TIF’s cost or the risk of project failure. However, Michigan’s Act 381 is a well-established tool designed to minimize such risks. The TIF only captures incremental revenue generated by the project itself—no taxes are diverted unless the development increases the property’s value. If LaCati Group fails to deliver, the TIF simply doesn’t materialize, protecting taxpayers from upfront losses. Furthermore, LaCati’s commitment to 12 affordable units for 21 years is legally binding under the Brownfield Plan, ensuring accountability. The modest county contribution is a low-risk investment compared to the potential upside of a revitalized site. It Seizes a Time-Sensitive Opportunity The alternative—leaving the parcel vacant—offers no benefits. Without TIF, private developers are unlikely to tackle a Brownfield site with potential remediation costs or economic hurdles. The land could remain idle for another decade, generating zero taxes, housing, or jobs. Approving the amendment now capitalizes on LaCati Group’s readiness to invest, Hudsonville’s housing demand, and favorable market conditions. Delaying risks losing momentum and escalating costs, as construction prices continue to rise (U.S. construction costs increased 6.7% from 2023–2024). Acting decisively ensures taxpayers reap the rewards sooner. I believe the Landings at Rush Creek will be a positive for Hudsonville’s growth, Ottawa County’s prosperity, and taxpayer value. By approving the Brownfield Plan Amendment, the Board will be able to unlock affordable housing, economic vitality, and a stronger tax base, all while transforming an unused parcel into a community asset. The TIF’s $6,299,313 investment, including the county’s $375,915 share, is a fair tradeoff for benefits that will accrue for decades. This project has earned the support of Hudsonville’s leaders and deserves the county’s endorsement to move forward.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Commissioner Use of County Logo - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>At this Thursday’s Planning and Policy Committee meeting, we are scheduled to discuss the Commissioners’ use of the county logo. I am not opposed to Commissioners using the county logo. In fact, we have a county policy that encourages our departments to use it on official correspondence with the public and outside agencies. However, we have a couple of recent examples where I believe the logo was misused or used improperly. Commissioners Moss and Miedema both used the county logo on letters they sent to the presidents of Grand Valley State University (GVSU), petitioning for changes to the university’s policies on specific issues. While we, as private residents, are welcome to use our voices to petition governmental entities like GVSU for changes we’d like to see, I don’t believe that we, as Commissioners, should be leveraging the county logo—or any accoutrements of the county—in that process. As Commissioners, we have the ability to present resolutions to the Board, allowing us to collectively determine whether the county should take a formal position on an issue. We are also free to speak as private individuals on matters of interest. What we cannot do, in my opinion, is attempt to forge a third option—a semi-official position that is neither private nor collectively authorized by the Board. Our board rules contain one fundamental rule regarding our conduct: Rule 3.1, which states, “The Board shall have such powers and duties as are provided by law. The authority of the Board is a collective one, and according to state law, no individual member can assume any action, decision, or endeavor on behalf of or in lieu of Board action (MCL 46.11).” I believe that sending correspondence with the county logo—essentially leveraging a public asset— to advance a private concern rather than a collective one, violates this rule. It is my belief that by sending correspondence of the nature that Commissioners Moss and Miedema did, and by using the county logo in that manner, a violation of Rule 3.1 occurred. I hope that our discussion on the use of the county logo this Thursday not only brings about specific guidelines for its use but also allows us to address the broader question of how we can and should act as a collective body moving forward—for our sake and for the sake of all Ottawa County residents to whom the logo belongs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Campbell Plant Discussions - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This past February, the Board of Commissioners passed a resolution urging the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) to reconsider the planned closure of the J.H. Campbell Plant by Consumers Energy, set for May 31, 2025. I voted against that resolution because I believe the decision to phase out the coal plant was properly vetted in Consumers’ 2022 integrated resource plan, which balances reliability with the state’s clean energy goals. Similiarly, the MPSC and Consumers addressed this during the approval for shutdown, and Consumers specifically met MISO’s rules when closure was approved. This Thursday, we will once again be taking up discussion of the Campbell Plant. If the MPSC refuses to reconsider, as we recommended earlier, I believe that we’re really left with only two viable options: legal action against the MPSC or requesting federal intervention. I oppose both of these for the following reasons: First, pursuing legal action against the MPSC would be a costly and likely unfruitful endeavor. The courts’ deference to regulatory agencies on technical matters like energy planning is widely established, and Consumers has already demonstrated a replacement capacity that meets legal standards. Dragging this into litigation risks wasting taxpayer money, while straining our relationship with state authorities we rely on for other issues. Second, asking for federal intervention feels equally misguided. Even if the Administration feels inclined to act, it’s unclear whether it could override Michigan’s jurisdiction over its utilities. Relying on federal overreach sets a risky precedent, inviting outside meddling in local affairs when we might not like the outcome next time. Plus, tying the plant’s fate to speculative AI data center co-location plans, as some have suggested, is a gamble that ignores the economic and environmental realities driving the closure. In my view, we should accept the closure and focus on what’s next—working with Consumers and Port Sheldon Township to ensure the site’s redevelopment delivers real benefits to our community over the near and long term.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Corporate Counsel Contingency: The Board voted to approve Corporate Counsel Contingency item for $28,000. Although I am concerned about the continued cost for this legal action, I did vote yes so that we can see this effort through to its hopefully quick conclusion. Materials Management Planning Grant Personnel Request: The Board approved the request from Public Health to convert 1.0 FTE benefited Environmental Public Health Technician to a full-time, benefited Environmental Public Health Specialist in the AFSCME PH Group at Paygrade 8 at an increased cost of $12,607.20; to create 1.0 FTE benefited Environmental Public Health Specialist in the AFSCME PH Group at Paygrade 8 at an increased cost of $108,018.85; and to create one part-time temporary limited-benefit Environmental Public Health Technician in the Limited Benefit Group at an increased cost of $23,677.12. Administrator Search Discussion: Ottawa County is temporarily pausing its search for a new County Administrator for the summer, with plans to reopen the application process in August and select a candidate in late September. Applicants who have already submitted materials and remain interested will continue to be considered. I had expressed a desire to pursue a Deputy Administrator hire in the interim, prior to hiring a Administrator, as I believe that it may very well be an easier task for the Board. In addition, I expressed a preference for an internal hire both for the Deputy as well as the Administrator position itself.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Community Mental Health Board: The Board voted to select Vonnie Vanderzwaag and Paul Duff to fill two (2) General Public vacancies beginning April 1, 2025 and ending March 31, 2028. I voted for Chris Kleinjans and Vonnie Vanderzwaag. I was disappointed to see former comminisioner Kleinjans not reappointed to his public seat after nearly three years of dedicated service on the CMH board. Environmental Health Appeals Board: The Board voted to select Scott Muellerleile to fill one (1) General Public vacancy beginning immediately and ending December 31, 2026. Environmental Health Appeals Board: The Board voted to select Jaime Fleming to fill one (1) General Public vacancy beginning immediately and ending December 31, 2027. I voted for Becky Patrick because I believe that she has a very strong background in the environmental space and would have been a strong member of this board. Materials Management Planning Committee: The Board voted to approve the recommendation that the Chair of the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners assign an elected official to the “elected official seat” on the Materials Management Planning Committee in accordance with Rule 2.3 of the Rules of the Ottawa County Board Commissioners. Materials Management Planning Committee Assignment: The Board voted to approve the Chairman’s assignment to appoint Commissioner Moss to the Elected County Official seat on the Materials Management Planning Committee.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Resolution to Support Delaying the Closure of the Campbell Plant: The Board voted to approve a resolution in support of delaying the closure of the Campbell Power Plant. I voted against the Resolution because I believe Consumers Energy has adequately demonstrated in its Settlement Agreement that closing all three currently operating units of the Campbell plant, coupled with the diverse range of actions and investments they are taking and plan to take, will have the net effect of increasing Ottawa County residents’ access to more stable, cost-effective, and clean energy in the present, near and long-term future. Crockery Lake Agreement: The Board approved a motion to authorize legal action for court ruling on the validity of the Agreement for the Care, Management, and Maintenance of Land Located at Crockery Lake (a/k/a) the Crockery Lake Agreement) approved and dated on or about December 10-17, 2024. While I would have preferred to address any potential legal issues with the contract before incurring the cost of litigation and while I am concerned that requiring legal pre-screening for every action could limit our authority, I voted in favor of this issue to gain a clearer understanding of the legal complexities involved, especially given the significant abnormalities in this contract. Kallman Legal Group: The Board voted to approve the resolution to accept the resignation of the Kallman Legal Group. I voted no on the contract because I did not feel it appropriate to accept the resignation of Kallman Legal Group with such a high outstanding balance due on the pre-pay that the Board approved in December of 2024. Dickinson Wright Resolution: The Board voted to retain Dickinson Wright (Ronald Bultje) as Interim Corporation Counsel. I voted yes on the hiring and encouraged Counsel to retain the consultancy services of Kallman Legal where it makes sense so that we can have better workflow and reduce the overall amount of the prepay.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Approval of Agenda: I am disappointed that my motion to add to the agenda a discussion item relating to the work of the Executive Transition Committee to date failed. Our job as a board is to provide oversight, and I think there are serious questions about the selection process for the executive search firm and whether that process may have violated our purchasing policy. Not addressing these questions affects public trust in our work. If we are unwilling to perform that work, we are failing residents who have elected us and place their trust in us.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Housekeeping Services Contract: The Board approved the Enviro-Clean Services, Inc. contract for housekeeping services at the James St. Complex (A-D Buildings), Grand Haven Courthouse, Holland District Courthouse, and Fulton St (CMH) Building. Summary: Enviro-Clean Services, Inc. is a Michigan-based company that has been providing cleaning services throughout the State for 45+years. Starting in Holland,Enviro-Clean now cleans across Michigan and employs 1,500+ custodial specialists with much of that staff being full-time. Community Mental Health Personnel Request: The Board approved the request from Community Mental Health to add eight full-time new positions and remove two positions at a total cost of $572,307.20 to be funded by CCBHC grant and Medicaid. Summary: CMHOC continues to experience a significant increase in requests for services for all populations, but especially with children and youth and substance use disorders. To meet these demands CMH is asking to create several new clinical positions. The mental health specialist (SC for Autism) will help to distribute the current caseload size to a more manageable number. The mental health specialist (wrap around coordinator) will allow us to take additional SED Waiver cases. Caseloads for all of our teams have continued to grow including our services with adults with Mental Illness. We are asking for an additional Mental Health Specialist on both our MDT (Multi-disciplinary Team) in Grand Haven and on our Senior Reach team. The Program Supervisor for Substance Use Disorder will manage the growing SUD internal services teams as well as manage all contracts for SUD. Requests for services in this area have grown over the last several years and the workload for the program coordinator has exceeded what one individual can manage. The current Program Coordinator position that is split between MI contracts and SUD will now only manage the MI contracts. We are also experiencing increased demand for customer service response to grievances, need additional supports in our Recipient Rights office, as well as assistance with communications/marketing of CCBHC health and wellness initiatives. Grant Application for Rosy Mound Expansion Phase II: The Board approved the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) program for funding assistance for the Rosy Mound Expansion Phase II acquisition project. Summary: As explained in the attached Rosy Mound Expansion Project Sheet, the Parks Commission has intended to acquire the entire 291-acre dune and sand mining area known as Rosy Mound since the late 1980's. In 1994, the 164-acre site that became the Rosy Mound Natural Area was purchased, but even then the hope was to stay in contact with the sand mining operators to purchase the remaining 127-acres. The sand mining operations have now been completed and reclamation is underway. As these operations were winding down, contact with the property representative was re-established and work begun to prepare for a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund acquisition grant application. An appraisal was completed to better establish a price, and the budget outlined on the Project Sheet is based on that appraisal with incidentals estimates based on costs of past similar projects. In April 2022, a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund $3,291,800 grant application was submitted to help purchase the entire 127 property at a cost of over $4.7 million (with property value and incidentals). Given the exceptional natural value of the property (it includes 108 acres of critical dunes), staff recommended this application seeking 70% of funding from the Trust Fund in the expectation that it will rank highly according to Trust Fund grant review standards. The match was provided by the Parks Millage, a landowner donation of value (a commitment has been provided in writing), and funding from the Ottawa County Parks Foundation (staff is coordinating with the Parks Foundation to obtain a commitment letter). As expected, the grant application ranked highly. However, due to the challenging investment climate, there was less funding available from the Trust Fund in 2022 and the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund requested that the project be spread over two grant cycles. As a result, a grant for $1,650,000 was recommended in December 2022 to purchase half of the 127-acre property with the expectation that a second grant application will be submitted in April 2023. Therefore, staff is requesting that the Parks Commission forward the required grant application resolution for approval by the Board of Commissioners for Phase 2 of this project. In addition to background information, a concept plan for the site that will be submitted with the plan is attached. However, if the acquisition is successful, a public master plan update process will be undertaken. Grant Application Upper Macatawa Natural Area: The Board approved the application to the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) program for funding assistance for Upper Macatawa Natural Area - Greenway Trailhead project. Summary: In the 2021 Ottawa County Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan, a capital improvement project was proposed for development of a modern restroom at the 84th Avenue day-use area for the Upper Macatawa Natural Area park in Zeeland Township. This entry is one of the more popular sites in the Ottawa County Parks system, in part since it provides access to the mountain biking trails through the park. It is also a critical location along the developing Macatawa Greenway Trail and the trail network from Holland to Grand Rapids (which includes the Fred Meijer Kenowa Trail, which commences at the northern end of the Upper Macatawa Natural Area). With the planned development of and funding secured for the "Middle Macatawa" trail connection to Hawthorn Pond and Hawthorn Pond improvements to the west, it is important to provide these enhanced amenities on the eastern end of this portion of the Macatawa Greenway. The proposed modern restroom will provide amenities for Macatawa Greenway users and mountain bikers as well as sustainable and universal design features. This includes men's and women's restrooms, a family restroom with an adult changing table, two changing rooms with showers targeted for mountain bikers, a rainwater harvesting system, and paved connections to the parking area. This project meets many of the criteria for a successful Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund development project. This funding allows for the inclusion of enhanced features for this project such as the rainwater harvesting system and the adult changing table. Therefore, staff is recommending preparation and submission of a $275,000 grant application to assist with funding this project. Ottawa County Housing Commission composition: The Board voted 8-3 to update the composition of the Ottawa County Housing Commission by removing myself, Tom Reinsma and Virginia Beard. I am disappointed to no longer be able to serve Ottawa County residents and advocate for Housing Opportunity throughout the County as Housing Commissioner, but I wish Administrator Gibbs and the addintional two new Commissoners well and hope they are able to continue the vital work that the Commision has pursued these past three years. Administration Personnel Request: The Board voted 6 to 5 to approve a request from the Office of the Administrator to reclassify the Executive Assistant position as Senior Executive Aide to the Administrator, at a cost of $37,349.08, funded by the General Fund contingency for fiscal year 2023. Summary of Request: The Office of the Administrator requested to reclassify and upgrade the Executive Assistant position, which is currently vacant, as Senior Executive Aide to the Administrator, moving it from Unclassified Pay Grade 9, Step 1, to Unclassified Pay Grade 13, Step 4. Administrator’s justification for the position is as follows:</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I voted no because I do not believe the upgrade to the position of Executive Assistant is warranted. We have operated for many years with the Administrator, Deputy Administrator and Executive Assistant model and I believe it has served us well. We have even recently done with a single Administrator and Executive Assistant for well over a year before the hiring of current Deputy Administrator Waterman. I disagree with the Administrator that the Administrator and Deputy Administration postion “do not have enough bandwidth to handle all that is required to successfully manage the County”. Annual Reports: The Board received for information the Annual Reports of the Department of Innovation and technology, Department of Parks and Recreation. Countywide Broadband: The Board voted 11-0 to approve a $7.5M ARPA contribution to the Realizing Opportunities with Broadband Infrastructure Networks (ROBIN) grant bid being managed by 123Net for Countywide Broadband. I voted yes because achieving more connectivity to more parts of Ottawa County will be an important aspect of our future success.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Budget Adjustments:  Veterans Affair Grant - The grant will fund transportation services, computer equipment,  and communication regarding veterans assistance. Idema Explorers Trail - 60th Avenue Trail Easement: The Board approved the trail easement from Thomas and Dora Runyon at 11822 60th Avenue at cost of $2258.  Summary: Ottawa County Parks has been working along various portions of the Idema Explorers Trail route to acquire easements that would facilitate construction, reduce overall costs, or improve the user experience along the trail. This particular easement allows construction in a location where there is not enough usable road right-of-way to construct the trail and to cross a drainage course in the optimal location to connect to adjacent sidewalk.  Conservation Easement Option Agreement: The Board approved the Conservation Easement Option Agreement with Michael B. Bronkema and Lona K. Bronkema in the amount of $477,950 for+/- 121 acres located in Olive Township, Michigan.  Summary: On December 2, 2020, the Agricultural Preservation Board approved the Conservation Easement Option Agreement with Michael B. Bronkema and Lona K. Bronkema to purchase the development rights to+/- 121 acres for a total appraised value of $477,950.00  Applications for a $234,196 grant from the USDA Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) and a grant for $39,488 from the Michigan Agricultural Preservation Fund Board Local Farmland Preservation Program (MDARD) will be submitted. If awarded, the grants will cover 57% (273,680) of the total purchase cost of the development rights to the parcel. The remaining cost will be funded through a landowner donation of 26% (124,267) and 17% ($80,000) will be provided by the non­ endowed Farmland Preservation Fund managed by the Community Foundation of Holland/Zeeland. If the grants are not awarded, the option will not be exercised.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Lakeshore Drive Paved Shoulder Project: The Board approved the contract with the Ottawa County Road Commission for the final segment of the Lakeshore Drive Paved Shoulder Project.  Summary: Part of a three-year project to complete 5.34 miles of paved shoulders for non-motorized use along Lakeshore Drive, this final segment will create four-foot shoulders along 1.8 miles of Lakeshore Drive between Lakewood Boulevard and 168th Avenue in Park Township. Funds have already been committed and work is planned for the Summer of 2021. The hope is that the finish date is closer to the beginning of Summer as opposed to the end of Summer. Project engineering and administration are completed by the Ottawa County Road Commission free of charge. Once the project is complete, the Ottawa County Road Commission will also be responsible for paved shoulder maintenance.  As Tim Meyer, owner of Rock ‘n’ Road Cycle bicycle stores in Holland and Grand Haven said, “The 4 foot-wide paved shoulders provide a safe option for cyclists moving too fast for a multi-purpose path. Lakeshore Drive will be safer for all users – and motorists will have an easier time because of the extra room for cyclists to use the road. Cooperation between units of government in Ottawa County has been commendable.”</image:caption>

For 2021, Ottawa County is budgeting $962,330 from the General Fund and the State of Michigan is budgeting $2,316,905 under an agreement with Michigan Indigent Defense Council. Resolution to Declare Tuesday, November 24, 2020 as “Michigan Adoption Day in Ottawa County”:  The Board approved the Resolution declaring Tuesday, November 24, 2020 as “Michigan Adoption Day in Ottawa County.” to better promote and support adoptions in the County of Ottawa and highlight adoptions and the need for additional adoptive homes in the media.  Elections Division: I want to congratulate the Elections Division and the entire network of Clerks and Poll Workers around Ottawa County for their work this past week. Nearly 170,000 Ottawa County residents voted on November 3 and the weeks leading up to that, with over 100,000 of those being absentee ballots. I think Ottawa County residents should be proud of the work that all these individuals did to make sure Ottawa County residents could safely and securely exercise their Right to Vote.</image:caption>
