BOC Road Commission Ad Hoc Committee - April 26, 2024

-

Today's meeting was following up on the 2/6/24 meeting reviewing the Road Commission HR Audit conducted by the BOC.  Inaccuracies in the I-9 reporting were identified and corrected going forward.

Discussion about the 2022 Financial Audit was had.  Page 53 of the Road Commission Study, Auditors identified " Delays in the audit process occurred as a result incomplete bank reconciliations."  As a bookkeeper myself, this stood out to me.  The 2022 Audit was completed July 28, 2023. 

"Management's Response: Additional resources will be used to address this finding in fiscal year 2023."  I look forward to seeing the 2023 Audit.

My new take-away was the ability for GT County residents to report road problems and request potholes to be fixed.  Go to GT County Road Commission Web Site and click on "Report a Concern"

The full BOC will take a vote on May 15th regular meeting to determine whether or not to pay for a feasibility study to be conducted by the Road Commission and MDOT.  Please attend if you are interested in getting the roads fixed.


Linda Maginity - Candidate for GT County Commissioner District #1

Please Vote for me and I will continue to keep you informed as best I can.

 At the 6/05 BOC meeting during the report from the GT County Road Commission, they announced a Special meeting for the public to attend on Thursday 6/13 from 6-10 PM.  To save you time, the report starts at time stamp 3:05.  Big thank you to Linda Pepper for alerting me to this meeting.  It's not easy to find the GTCRC calendar.   BOC General Meeting 6/05/24 The 2022 audit was finished July 2023.  We've not yet seen the 2023 Audit.   GTCRC 2022 Audit GTCRC 2023 Budget GTCRC Snowfall Data       Actual & Budgeted costs are based on a 12 month calendar year, snowfall amounts are reported per season.  We are trending below average for the past 4 years.   So, over these past years we've seen a lot of growth, which means increased tax revenue for the GTCRC and less snowfall which means lower costs.  What have they spent the savings on?  When will the 2023 audit be finished?  How much did they spend ...

 Here's the link to the published article.  Below is the full text of the interview. traverseticker.com/news/guide-to-the-2024-grand-traverse-county-commission-candidates-part-1-districts-1-4 Hello Beth, Biography:   I’m Linda Maginity, running for BOC District #1, which includes all of Green Lake Township and precincts 1 & 4 in Blair Township. This July, I’ll be 65 years young. I’ve been a self-employed bookkeeper/business consultant for the past 30+ years.

I also volunteered with “Voters Not Politicians” as an educator, ...

Welcome to the beginning of open communications!

 I've been considering running for public office for a couple of years.  Taking into account the availability of my time, since I am a solopreneur and don't plan on closing my business any time soon, I had to look for opportunities to serve part-time.  The township clerk or treasurer positions are full-time. I had first considered the school board, but only leadership positions were up for reelection this cycle.  Then I saw that the our county commissioner ran unopposed last election.  I looked into the responsibilities and time commitment necessary and find this to be a good fit for me. Just what does the county commissioners decide and how does it affect us in District #1?  That was my question. After living here for 40+ years I can honestly tell you that I do not know how any of their decisions affected myself and my neighbors.  So, it's my goal to find out by becoming YOUR commissioner and sharing those insights here.   I want to meet wit...
