Board of Commissioners March 26, 2013 Mary Margaret Fletcher appeared in regard to animal bites and stated there is a proposed resolution going to the Courts & Public Safety Committee, that citizens deserve to be protected and that this should be a county issue LAUDATORY RESOLUTIONS MARC A. MCGILL Saginaw County Controller Certificate of Appreciation Marc A. McGill’s Saginaw County career began on August 5, 1986 as an Investment Analyst in the Treasurer’s Office working under then-Treasurer Marvin Hare. He stayed in this position until he resigned on August 5, 1988 to become Midland County Deputy Controller and eventually its Controller. Marc missed us so much that he came back to Saginaw County on February 1, 1999 as Saginaw County Deputy Controller, working with then-Controller Fred Todd. Within months of returning, he became Saginaw County Controller on October 1, 1999 where he has served until his date of resignation on February 28, 2013. Marc’s commitment to Saginaw County has been astronomical. Along with Marc’s financial team, he has helped the Saginaw County Board of Commissioners balance its annual budget as well as saved the county millions of dollars by refinancing various bonds. Marc has been instrumental in the reinvention of the Saginaw County Dow Event Center, as well as expanding its presence in the downtown area with the demolition of the old Plaza Hotel, Saginaw Centre and enhancements to the parking structure. As he departs, he is leaving behind the framework in place for the county to save millions by bonding out Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Employment Benefit obligations. On behalf of the officials, employees and residents of Saginaw County, Michigan we extend our gratitude for thirteen years of commendable public service as a County Controller. We appreciate your dedication to the continuous improvement of the quality of life for all Saginaw County residents and the sacrifices you have made to ensure the preservation of our democracy. Respectfully Submitted, Saginaw County Board of Commissioners Michael J. Hanley Adopted: March 26, 2013 Chair, District #11 Presented: February 28, 2013 - 2 -
Board of Commissioners March 26, 2013 50 th Anniversary William B. Mershon Chapter Trout Unlimited (TU) 1963 – 2013 Certificate of Recognition 1986, 1996, & 1997 Recipient of the Michigan Council TU Chapter of the Year Award On Saturday, April 13, 2013 the W. B. Mershon Chapter of Trout Unlimited (TU) will honor its Presidents, past and present, its mentor, Art Neumann, and highlight a time-line showing its long history of achievements at its 50 th Anniversary Banquet. In the beginning, sixteen fishermen gathered at the home of George Griffin united by their love of trout fishing and by their growing discontent with the State’s practice of stocking its waters with “cookie cutter trout” – catchable sized hatchery fish. Convinced that Michigan’s trout streams could turn out a far superior fish if left to their own devices, the anglers formed a new organization – Trout Unlimited. After the formation of TU, the organization’s membership activities centered on Art Neumann’s fly shop, the Wanigas Rod Company in Saginaw, Michigan. Friends and colleagues gathered exchanging fishery ideas and knowledge and strengthened TU’s position in Michigan and eventually, nationally. National Headquarters was located in Saginaw, Michigan from 1962-1965. The W. B. Mershon Chapter evolved from those long-ago friendships. TU is dedicated to ensuring that wild and native trout populations are allowed to thrive, as nature intended. From the start, TU was guided by the principle that if we “take care of the fish, then the fishing will take care of itself.” Throughout its 50 year history, the W. B. Mershon Chapter has spent many thousands of volunteer hours and many thousands of dollars to ensure the future of clean, cold rivers here in Michigan and thus the future of Michigan’s trout population and the sport of trout fishing. Working with other like-minded organizations, the W. B. Mershon Chapter carries out projects each year that improve trout habitats with emphasis on the Au Sable and Rifle Rivers. Trout Unlimited is a national organization with more than 150,000 volunteers organized into about 400 chapters from Maine to Montana to Alaska. This dedicated grassroots army is matched by a respected staff of lawyers, policy experts and scientists, who work out of more than 30 offices nationwide. These conservation professionals ensure that TU is at the forefront of fisheries restoration work at the local, state and national levels. Nearly 53 years after its founding, no other conservation organization is as well placed as TU to make a difference for the nation’s cold-water fisheries. The Saginaw County Board of Commissioners takes special pride in acknowledging the W. B. Mershon Chapter of Trout Unlimited as they celebrate its 50 th year. The chapter continually strives to better the water of the State of Michigan which makes the state’s motto of “Pure Michigan” complete. Respectfully Submitted, Saginaw County Board of Commissioners Michael J. Hanley Chair, District #11 Adopted: March 26, 2013 Presented: March 26, 2013 - 3 -
