Washtenaw County: Board approves purchase orders, budget amendments, state grant and insurance changes

The Washtenaw County board approved several routine items and personnel-related contracts during a regular session, recording unanimous roll-call outcomes for multiple motions.

Among the items the board approved were a purchase order of $2,075.61 for a communications subscription (agenda item j 2), an additional funding request of $4,200 for Doug Williams contingent on approval by other counties, and a purchase request for network switches billed to the sheriff’s office (amounts referenced in discussion included $19 and $87.94). The board also approved budget amendments dated 11/19/2025 and a state grant for community corrections covering 10/01/2025–09/30/2026 in the amount of $145,800.

Each motion was followed by roll-call votes read aloud in the meeting. For the motions recorded in the transcript the chair called names (for example: “Savy,” “Nelson,” “Nynan,” “Benjeli,” “Bush,” “Ival,” “Vaughn,” “Tyler,” “Heide”) and the spoken record indicates affirmative responses; the minutes record the outcomes as passing by unanimous votes (stated as 9-0). The transcript does not assign movers or seconders by name.

The board also discussed a workplace policy entry (referred to in the record as policy B124) and took supportive action on that item during the meeting.

What happens next: the approvals are recorded in the meeting minutes; the record notes that the $4,200 additional funding for Doug Williams is to be finalized pending agreement by other counties and that the state grant’s period runs through fiscal year 2026.
