CADILLAC â Although all nine Wexford County Board of Commissioners were present at Wednesday s meeting, only five were able to vote.
Per the March 31 Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Gathering and Face Mask Order Amendment, the public may participate in person in government meetings if social distancing guidelines are followed. That also meant the virtual meetings no longer were an option of the Open Meetings Act unless certain action was taken such as a municipality declaring a state of emergency.
What that meant Wednesday is the four commissioners who attended the meeting via Zoom, Joe Hurlburt, Michael Musta, Julie Theobald and Brian Potter, were not able to vote on any action item.

CADILLAC â Wexford County is looking at receiving a lot of money thanks to the recently passed federal stimulus package.
The more than $6.5 million the county could receive, as part of President Joe Biden s $1.9 trillion stimulus package, is roughly 45% of the current $14.3 million General Fund budget. While the possibilities of how the county could spend that infusion of one-time money are numerous, Wexford County Administrator Janet Koch said she isn t getting too excited just yet.
While that more than $6.5 million was the congressional estimate given, the final numbers will be determined by the U.S. Department of Treasury. The other issue is no municipality knows exactly what the stimulus money can be spent on once they do have a final number.

He was serving here for $2,100 a year. Mr. Peterson, who had intended to enter business here for himself as a professional engineer, already has so much private work lined up here that he will not be able to move to Mount Pleasant permanently before May 1, but will spend a day or two each week at his new duties until he can clear up his affairs here.

Mr. Peterson decided to accept the place when it was made possible for him to take care of his work before assuming complete charge. Mount Pleasant has an ambitious program of public improvements which the local man will a
