CADILLAC â The Wexford County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the 2022 child care budget, but one commissioner opposed the 2022 fee increases for dog licenses.
Joe Hurlburt was the lone dissenting vote as the commissioners voted 8-1 to pass increases to both one-year licenses and three-year licenses for both spay/neutered and intact animals. Hurlburt said he opposed the new fees based simply on it being an increase.
The new fees for one-year licenses are $10 (December to February) or $20 (delinquent months) for spay/neutered animals and $15 (December to February) or $30 (delinquent months) for intact animals
The new fees for three-year licenses are $25 (December to February) or $50 (delinquent months) for spay/neutered animals and $40 (December to February) or $80 (delinquent months) for intact animals.

CADILLAC â A more than $650,000 budget and dog license fee increases are two items the Wexford County Board of Commissioners are scheduled to discuss Wednesday.
The Wexford County Child Care Budget has a proposed total expenditure of $651,999.71 and is proposed for the stateâs 2022 fiscal year from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2022.
According to the information from the meetingâs agenda packet, there was a minor change in the total expenditures of $15,000. Two other changes also were made because of the stateâs Raise the Age legislation that goes into effect on Oct. 1, where the court will have 17-year-olds who would have been in adult court previously, according to the agenda packet. The budget sub-category changes reflect trying to think ahead about services that may be offered to the older juvenile population to prepare them for adulthood, etc., the packet information said.
