Ottawa County Community Mental Health Board: The Board voted to approve Robin Wick to fill one Primary Consumer vacancy beginning December 17, 2023 and ending March 31, 2026 and Steven Savage to fill one Primary Consumer vacancy beginning April 1, 2024 and ending March 31, 2027.

I am glad that we were able to appoint Ms. Wick and Mr. Savage to the CMH Board. I am concerned however about some of the delay around the appointments, and hope that going forward we can assure resident volunteers that we will act on their applications with due timeliness, especially those who are already serving on and looking to renew their service with Ottawa County.

Ottawa County Community Action Agency Advisory Board: The Board voted to approve Kate Chrisman and Rachelle Gelder to fill two (2) Consumer Sector vacancies beginning May 15, 2024 and ending May 15, 2027.

Material Management Planning Committee Establishment: In accordance with the Board of Commissioners’ March 26, 2024, Resolution, the Board of Commissioners hereby establishes the Material Management Planning Committee, and the members of the Committee will be comprised of the representatives set forth in the aforementioned Resolution.
