2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners March 27, 2001
FROM: COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS -- 4.7 MARCH 27, 2001
Your Budget Audit Subcommittee considered communication no. 3-27-
10 from Michelle R. McInerney, Financial Services Director,
submitting the County of Saginaw Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report for Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2000. A copy of the
Report was previously distributed to each commissioner.
Gerald Desloover and Thomas Smith, Rehmann Robson and Company,
appeared before the committee to present the report and address
questions. The statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the County of Saginaw. The
County received an unqualified opinion.
The Audit offers several opportunities for strengthening internal
controls and operating efficiencies. They do not affect the
general purpose financial statements of the County. County staff
responded to the comments and suggestions and presented them to
the Budget Audit Subcommittee and Rehmann Robson.
Accordingly, it is the recommendation of your committee that the
County of Saginaw Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Fiscal
Year ended September 30, 2000 be accepted.
Respectfully submitted,
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
James M. Graham, Chair
Connie D. Smith, Vice Chair
By Commissioner Bartels: That the Report of the Committee be
received and the recommendations contained therein be adopted.
Approved.
FROM: COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS -- 4.8 MARCH 27, 2001
Your Legislative Subcommittee was asked by the Human Services
Committee to review communication no. 2-27-4 from Sandra M.
Lindsey, Chief Executive Officer, Saginaw County Community Mental
Health Authority, as well as, other correspondence received by the
Board relating to significant funding reductions implemented by
the Michigan Department of Community Health.
We recommend opposing the inadequate and inequitable funding
levels for Saginaw County. Under the proper order of business the
appropriate resolution will be submitted.
Respectfully submitted,
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
James M. Graham, Chair
Connie D. Smith, Vice Chair
