CADILLAC — A familiar face could be returning to the Wexford County Building Department on a part-time basis after the upcoming board of commissioners meeting.
With the celebration of Earth Day just last week, it is a good time to discuss the formation of the USDA Soil Conservation Service (known today as the Natural Resources Conservation Service) and the Conservation District (Wexford CD and the Missaukee CD).
The beginning of the soil conservation movement in the United States was started by Hugh Hammond Bennett in the early 1900s. Hugh Hammond Bennett, the Soil Conservation Serviceâs first Chief and the Father of Soil Conservation. A maverick and visionary, Bennett knew that productive soils would help farmers, ranchers and forest landowners protect their livelihoods. Even then, Bennett, a scientist, knew good science must be the foundation for voluntary conservation on private lands.
CADILLAC â Michigan Indigent Defense Commission funding and a resolution regarding commissioners terms will both be part of the upcoming Wexford County Board of Commissioner s meeting Wednesday.
The final numbers for the MIDC Fiscal Year 2022 Cost Analysis are currently being determined and will be provided to the board before the meeting, according to information in Wednesday s agenda packet. State statute states the countyâs local share for the indigent defense program is tied to the cost of living index. That means Wexford County s local share increase will be 1.2% for the MIDC s fiscal year 2022, which runs with the state s fiscal year that starts Oct. 1.
