3.  Maintenance Department Update
Dave Vitale, Maintenance Supervisor joined the meeting. Mr. Vitale informed the Committee the flagpoles at the 1905 Courthouse and the Animal Shelter are being installed. The generator for the County Building has developed a bad oil pan leak. Because the oil pan is attached to the motor mounts, the fix is expensive ($1,562.98). Motion by Mike Crawford, supported by Larry Bargy, to recommend the Finance Committee and the Board of Commissioners approve the repair of the generator in the County Building at a cost of $1,562.98 Motion carried – Unanimous. Mr. Vitale informed the Committee that Crawford Construction and the maintenance personnel took care of a mold problem in the wall of an office in DHS, on an emergency basis. Mr. Vitale informed the Committee the evergreen tree over the parking area on the northwest corner of the County Building is dying. The Committee directed Mr. Vitale to remove the tree. Mr. Vitale informed the Committee he will invite Tim Kerkstra from Havel Brothers to the next meeting to explain his proposal for updating the controls for the air handling and mechanical systems in the County Building, Courthouse and Jail.
4. Rubber Ducky Festival
The Committee reviewed a request from the Bellaire Chamber of Commerce for the use of the Courthouse lawn and the Courthouse restrooms. Motion by Larry Bargy, supported Mike Crawford, to recommend the Board of Commissioners approve allowing the Bellaire Chamber of Commerce to use the Courthouse lawn and the County Building restrooms, and that they pay the weekend building use fee of $20.00 an hour (to offset the cost of having a custodian on site). Motion carried – unanimous.
5.  Elk Rapids Pavilion
The Committee reviewed an evaluation of the pavilion at the Elk Rapids Day Park, submitted by Jim Barnard, Engineer.

Motion carried – unanimous.
