Board OKs $2,000 annual pesticide certification stipend for parks employee

The Sanilac County Board of Commissioners approved an annual $2,000 pesticide certification stipend for the certified parks employee, with only one employee eligible at a time. The stipend will be funded from the county parks millage. The action (FA-115-26) was moved by Commissioner Bill Sarkella and seconded by Commissioner Gary Heberling; the minutes record the motion as carried.

Minutes do not identify the employee by name; the authorization limits eligibility to one employee at a time and specifies the source of funding as the parks millage. The stipend will be paid annually while the employee remains certified and eligible under the policy set by the board.
