There are two changes to the agenda of the Barry County Commissions last meeting of the month.

 

To avoid a conflict with a Michigan Association of Counties Conference in Lansing held from Monday afternoon through Thursday, March 25-28, the commission will meet Monday next week instead of the normal Tuesday.

 

Also, a report will be given by the ad hoc committee that studied the idea of a separate Barry County Health Department.

 

At the request of Commissioner Howard “Hoot” Gibson last October, the Barry County Commission approved forming an ad hoc committee of three commissioners to look into the finances of the Barry Eaton District Health Department and determine the feasibility of establishing a separate Barry County Health Department.

 

Commissioners Dan Parker, Heather Wing and Jon Smelker were named to the committee to talk to the health department about its budget and report back to the board in writing by Dec. 31. Wing is to give the report under unfinished business at the meeting Monday.
