Announcements:
Paula Johnson spoke strongly about identity (ID) theft that has been embedded in county documents, particularly social security numbers. She stated that the desire would be to remove those from documents as far back as 1956. She said they would need legislative support and currently would like to have the blessing of the Board of Commissioners.
With regard to Item 10.a., Comm. Dougan pointed out that the County-owned real property located at 2200 S. Washington Avenue, Lansing, MI 48910, was being considered for purchase by City of Lansing Treasurer Amy (Antonia) Kraus and her husband, who is a City of Lansing Police Sergeant.
Chairperson Thomas said that wherever corporate counsel would appear in the resolution, the words should be changed to read county attorney. Those words had appeared in 1.b. and 10.a, but that the entire document should be checked to see if there had been other references.
