CADILLAC â It was only by chance this past December Wexford County Commissioner Michael Bengelink saw an ad on social media for a wooden flag.
He wasn t looking for it. He wasn t even thinking about it, but the algorithms used to cater to his social media experience brought the wooden art piece made in Bitely to his attention. It caught his eye, and from there, it started the process of getting these flags into the hands of Wexford County first responders. This includes firefighters, police, EMS, corrections and central dispatch. Something came over Facebook and it had a wooden flag with a yellow line which was for central dispatch. I sent it to (Wexford County 911 Director) Duane Alworden and he liked it. I said I would buy it for dispatch and drove to Bitely and bought it, Bengelink said.
CADILLAC â The Wexford County Administrator s contract extension was approved Wednesday during the Wexford County Board of Commissioners meeting.
The board voted 7-2 to extend a 30-month contract extension to Wexford County Administrator Janet Koch. Commissioners Joe Hurlburt and Julie Theobald voted against the contract extension. While neither gave their reasons during the virtual meeting, before the vote Hurlburt said he didn t want to see the contract go longer than 24 months.
Commissioner Ben Townsend, who made the motion for the contract extension, said part of the reason he wanted to have the 30-month extension was it allowed the board to move the administrator s evaluation process to August. That would allow time for new commissioners to get familiar with the administrator and their duties rather than shortly after they take office in February.
