Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Genesee County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Reduced tuition partnership for county employees
County employees and eligible family members could get discounted tuition through Claremont Lincoln University. It advanced to the full board.
Head Start and senior nutrition food purchasing
A big block of purchase orders — Gordon Food Service ($1.3M), US Foods ($205K), Abbott ($82K) and others — keeps meals flowing to Head Start kids and senior nutrition programs for the coming year.
Chief Strategic Growth Officer position
A brand-new executive position was created, but not before a half-hour debate about whether it answers to the full board or the Director of Administration — a question that went unanswered and could resurface.
America 250 Commission composition and funding
The board narrowly added voting seats for Explore Flint & Genesee and the Sloan Museum to the county's America 250 commission and cut the related $250,000 accommodation-tax allocation. Commissioners opposed to adding seats argued big commissions get less done.
