Richard May feels that the Board should stay with the current plan for at least oneyear to investigate whether this would be a good plan. He also wants the board to opt outof the governor's plan because if it is implemented it will cost any lower paid employeesmore than the cost of living. He feels that if the Board moves to this plan, they shouldobligate the funding of the entire deductible and after exposure deductible with no timelimit.
Commissioner Reinhardt feels that we are helping the majority of the employees,but if they are hurting the veteran's if they move, have them stay on the current plan.
Jim Raber stated that he presented the board with a study that shows thatMichigan ranks 46th out of 50 states in using tax dollars for local governments. Hedoesn't feel that local governments are costing the tax payers additional money.
Commissioner Christensen feels that any reti-qees under the age of 65 will need tomove to any plan that the active employees are on.
A lengthy discussion followed with the,Boatd and employees in attendance atthe meeting ,,:jt i i l i l
Commissioner Reinhardt does notrwadtito hurt the employees;,but he feels thatthis plan is better than what the employees'hbve now.
Marc Seelye wants a vote of confidence that the county will pay the deductibleand after exposure deductible.
Larry Sullivan does apprecirc th9 time that the Board and the Clerk has done onthis research. From what he sees, this p is as good; itnot better than what we havenow.

Chris Fauiffi#, p isturbed by a commentmade at the last meding and rebd the following statement for the record.
"My name is Chris Faulknor, the Publisher of the Boyne City Gazette. I'maddressing you this morning, because I was very disturbed by a comment that was madeat your last meeting in regards to legal notices. It was suggested that if public noticeswere not going to be published in the Petoskey News-Review, they might as well be hungon the wall, because they would not be read.
While Northern Michigan Review's publications, including the Petoskey News-Review are widely read throughout Emmet and Charlevoix Counties, I disagree with theperceived belief that they will not be read anywhere else. Studies have shown repeatedlythat the Community Newspaper - a newspaper filling a specifrc niche are both the mostthoroughly read and fastest growing publications. People rarely skim headlines in TheBoyne City Gazette - they read it cover to cover because the information within our pagesapplies to their lives.
Our circulation is unmatched in Boyne City, and out of all Charlevoix Countybased newspapers, ours is the most widely circulated. Our coverage of the county as awhole reflects the high quality and intelligence of the area involved, and we areconsistently breaking stories about county affairs - this means people all over the countyare picking up this paper.
I ask, in conclusion, that you look beyond mastheads and titles before makingyour decision. While we proudly hail from Boyne City, our area of effectiveness reaches

far beyond. On the other hand, just because a masthead reads "Charlevoix County"doesn't mean the money isn't going to an office in Gaylord, far far away.
I respectfully ask for your consideration in all future legal notices, and assure youthat dollars spent informing our readers - your constituents - are dollars well spent.
I heard this morning that the county chose to run its tax notices in another paperand omit The Boyne City Gazette, and I was extremely disappointed. A large portion ofyour constituency was missed in this decision, and it is unfortunate.
Public notices are just that - public notices. They are deemed important enough tobe required to be published by law. These notices should not be placed in the cheapestoption and run "because we have to." It is not a matter of having an affidavit ofpublication to hang on the wall and say "We printed it," it is a matter of keeping thepublic informed.
Marilyn Cousineau chose the County Press,oVerthe,Boyne Gazette because theirbid came in lower.
coMMrSSroNER, poMMENTSCommissioner Tripp attended the Hayes'Township meeting:ihey are preceding
with the Camp Seagull property. Recyclingiiqpt a standstill because of the cold weather.The bins will be moved in the spring. Tripp drcf.rpea t\,,ilrtlsurance meeting held with theemployees, there were lots of que.,gtions, and there *ill be more. The ParkslCommiffeehas decided to start on Phase 2 She altended a COA meeting that shows there areconcerns over keeping the centers open.
Commissioner Christensen s'aid that he will quote a screen with the IT Committeefor Commissioner Drebenstedt. He noted that there was more controversy over waivingthe rules for a tax cUt than the:e was this,morning:over'the bike trail. He also feels thatthis committee shdiid take a hard look at a millage for Parks. The General Fund needs tobe pared to includeronly core services. Anything else should be done with the vote ofthe people.-
bommissioner Gillespie feels that it is great to have great benefits, but it is notalways possible.
, . born-issioner Drebensiedt reported;iiii;the Building & Grounds Committee andthe F Committee. Tq"address Commissioner Christensen he does know how to usehis iPad,"\g just wants it to be public.

Regarding 'committee openings' on the commissioners' agenda for this week
Commission on Aging:Ward CookMargo JohnsonNels Northup
I think Ward will be reapplying. Nels has been off the board for some time.
Richard Hodgson, whose term expires 12112, has asked to be replaced this year (12111)
ln addition to Ward probably reapplying, we have one other expression of interest at this time.
In addition to your posting of openings, our search committee has been working on this, but with limitedsuccess.
We will be making recommendations to the commissioners before the end of November.

I am placing my name on the list as an interested voting member of the Charlevoix CountyRecycling Committee.have served as an original member of the Committee since its inception.was appointed by the Commissioners several years back as a member of this committee.have served as the Educational representative on this committee and have developed and
given numerous educationaltalks to service groups, boy scouts, girl scouts, garden clubs,retirement facilities, hospital,to mention a few. I developed the program "Mother NatureRecycles", which I have given at numerous schools, after school groups and the CountyCommissioners.I suggested and implemented the 4th grade tours at the Emmet Co. Transfer and RecyclingStation and have give tours there on a yearly basis.I suggested and helped implement the Household Hazardous Waste programs, initiatingthe appointment schedule, answering the phone, taking reservations, and helping out at thecollection days.I suggested and helped initiate the "This Business Recycles" program for all businesses.I suggested and helped initiate the Committee's Logo contest with the schools.I suggested and helped initiate the "For Doing the Right Thing" coupon program for "catching"and rewarding them for proper recycling.These are just a few of the many items I have contributed to on this committee.I have been an active participant, organizer, and supporter of this committee.I feel my record of attentiveness and involvement on this committee, what I have to offer as aneducator and supporter of recycling, would make me an ideal candidate to continue serving onthis committee.Thank you,Michelle Rick-Biddick07510 Dalton Rd.Charlevoix.

Dear Charlevoix County Commissioners:
I wanted to send you a quick letter of recommendation for Michelle Rick-Biddick to stay on theRecycling Committee. Michelle is truly passionate as a member of this committee. I teach fourthgrade in East Jordan and each year our fourth grade has been invited to tour the Emmet CountyRecycle Center. This tour is incredible and Michelle is full of incredible knowledge about recycling toshare with our fourth graders. She explains in detail the reasons for recycling and just how easy it is todo in our county. She also talks to the kids about several local businesses that benefit from ourrecycling.
Each year we are amazed at the number of students who do not recycle in their homes. Fourth gradersare the perfect target age to educate, and it is amazing how many of them can transform their homesinto recycling homes. I think the growth of the Emmet County facility is in part due to her efforts. Weshould all be grateful that we have people like Michelle Rick-Biddick who are committed to keepingour planet cleaner and safer for the generations to come.
Please keep her on this committee. She is a wonderful steward for our Earth.
Sincerely,
Meg Kitson, East Jordan 4th grade teacher

I am sorry that this letter is late, however, I was out of town until this morning and had no internet service available tome. I hope you will still consider my thoughts on Michelle Rick-Biddick. Michelle has been an inspiration atCharlevoix Elementary School to begin a recycling program. She was very informative, gave us suggestions, andeven came and did several presentations for the students on recycling. She actually dresses as "Mother Earth" andshows the children wonderful things that can be made from recycled items. She has been instrumental in a trip ourfourth grade classes take to the recycling center in Emmet County. The WATCH group has put together several greatevents for children to learn from, and Michelle is a vital member of that program. When anyone ever thinks ofrecycling, they think of her. She has been doing important work for l0t years.
I hope you will allow her to continue her work on the Recycling Committee.
Thank you,
Nicole Sterrett

I have known Michelle for many years and have always been impressed with herwork in the many local community activities in which she has been involved. Shebrings a sense of urgency and creativity to whatever project she tackles.
Michelle has invested hundreds of hours in her volunteer activities....allfor thegood of Charlevoix County. Examples of her untiring efforts on the CharlevoixRecycling Committee are.....
. Recycling presentations to the Charlevoix Lions and Kiwanis Clubs
. Recycling presentations to Boy Scout groups
. Recycling presentations to Charlevoix County 3rd graders
. Recycling presentations to various Charlevoix community groups
. Creited i program to bring 4h graders to the Emmet County Transfer andRecycling Center to let them see first hand, the benefits of rerycling.

Charlevoix County Commissioners,
I am respectfully requesting an appointnentto the Charlevoix CountyRecycling Committee.
My interest goes back to December 1999 when I was appointed by theCounty Commissioners to Chair and develop the Recycling Program for theCounty.
My qualifications began when I was appointed to this position. I was givena difficult task and I took it seriously. I was determined and dedicated toestablish a County-Wide Program. First item was to ask for a .15 mitl for 4years for the Recycling program- this passed and by October we were readyto start.
I had the privilege to write all the different Contracts needed for thisprogram. I worked with the Haulers and submitted the Bids to them. Iworked with Emmet County (Elira Seltzer) on a agreement for disposal ofrecyclable material to Emmet Comty. I had to get a contract wi& the BeaverIsland Boat Company to haul the recyclables from the'Island. I personallyordered all the bins and wrote a contract between Stone Valley and theCounty. (All of this was presented to the County Board and with reviewfrom the Prosecutors Office).
Our progran started offsmall accepting only clear glass, #l & #2 plastic, tinand aluminum cans. At the presen! our program accepts 45 different items.
We offer two Household Hazardous Waste Collection Days per year. OldTires drop off- Free Freon removal from refrigerates- Plant plastic
collection- prescription and over the counter Drug Drop Off and adding a
new Site and two cardboard compactors ( one in Charlevoix and the other
Boyne City). Our Recycling program has been a big success and we have
come along way!
I would be honored to continue serving on the Recycling Board.
Thank you for your consideration. ---

This means that in most situations existing wiring can beused to upgrade a legacy control panel to VM Series technologywithout the expense or disruption of rewirlng the entire bui{ding.

Compatibleannunciators include a range of LEDand LCD models that provide zone orpoint annunciation, as well as commoncontrol capabilities. VM Series also sup-ports graphic annunciation with optionalgraphic snnunciator interface modules. Each interface providescommon control, indicators, and 32 LEDS. Expansion units pro-

!:r .wei i i rarl goes the distanceEdwards' patented Voltage BoostrM technology delivers constant22,5 Vdc on NAC and AUX clrcuits - even at lo/v battery pcn?ver.This means lighter gauge cable can be used for equivalent distanc-es compared with conventional power supplies, or longer wire runson the same gauge cable. Either way, this breakthrough technolcgysaves time and equipment costs, making VM Senes not only a high-performance solution - but a cost-effective one as well.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A STATUTORY EXtrM?TION FOR STORMWATERRUNOFF T'ROM LOGGING ROADS
Resalution #l.|/Ag/fi 1259
WHEREAS, on August 17,2010 the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heldthat a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is required forstormwater runofffrom logging roads; and
WIIEREAS, the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires aNational Pollution Discharge EliminationSystenr (NPDES) permit for the discharge of any pollutant to any navigable water {AKA
'owater
of the U.S.') from any point sowce. Since 1973, rules promulgated by the EnvironmentalFrotection Agency ("EPA") have distinguished between point source and non-point sourcepollution in the CWA. Non-point source pollution, which is not defined in the CWA, includesany source ofwater pollution not characterized as a point source discharge; and
WHEREAS, included in the CWA rules is the so-called Silvicultural Rule found at 40 C.F.R. $122.27(b)(l), which has remained substantially in its current form since 1976. The SilviculturalRule specifically defines timber "harvesting operations, surface drainage, or road consFuctionand maintenance from which there is nafural runoff'to be "non-point source silviculturalactivities," and thus, excluded from NPDES permitting requirements; andsilvicultural activities," and th*s, excluded frcm NPDES pemritting requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Ninth Circuit disagreed with the Silvicultural Rule, holding that stormwaterrunoffthat is collected and channeled in a system of ditches and culverts before being dischargedinto streams and rivers constitutes apoint source, and that EPA lacks authority to promulgate arule to the contrary. The Ninth Circuit stated that Congress has a history of providing specificstatutory exemptions for certain categories of discharges. The court went on to say that federalcourts have invalidated EPA regulations that provided similar regulatory exemptions; and
WI{EREA$, the court's decision has potentially sweeping implications. If broadly read, thisopinion would require NFDES permits for every road in the country that is served by ditches orculverts that eventually discharge to natural surface waters and that is not already regulated bythe CWA; and
WHEREAS' the court's opinion also leaves many critical questions unanswered. Even if theopinion were limited to logging roads, what constitutes a logging road? Ccntrary to the court'sassumptions of fact, rnany forest roads, including the roads at issue in this case, are not dedicatedto just logging. They are used for a variety of purposes, both public and private, beyond justlogging. If this is the case, who is responsible foy obtaining these required permits? The courtdid not address whether the permit obligation rests with the owner of the roads or cvery entitythat transports logs on the roads, or even those using the roads to access the forest for recreation.This Adopted Policy is consistent with current NACo policy that states that stormwater from allroadso gufters and ditches should not be considered a olrater of the U.S." under the CWA; and
WHBREAS, if rural county ow.ned roads, such as loggtng or forest roads, require federalNPDES permits, this will be an unfunded mandate and preemption on county golcmments.
lk
BE IT RBSOLVBII' the Lake County Board of Commissioners supports legislation that enactsinto law the Silvicultural Rule.
BE IT FIJRTIIER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution shall be s€nt to Governor Snyder,Representative Huizenga, Senators Levin and Stabenow, Senator Booher and RepresentativeBumstead, and also to the boards of County Commissioners of the other counties of the state,who we urge to join us in supporting legislation that enacts into law the Silvicultural Rule.

Correspondence and Comm unications
Sullivan reviewed the following correspondence and communications:
. Letter from Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEO) to St. MarysCement lnc. stating that the facility appears to be in compliance with theoperating requirements of Part 115 of the Michigan Natural Resources andEnvironmental Protection Act (Public Act 451 of 1994, as amended)
. Letter from the Planning Department to Joel Evans, County Board Chair, withSullivan's recommendations concerning the segments of the communityrepresented on the Planning Commission
o Email regarding upcoming training program on the medical marihuana law
Sherm Chamberlain explained that the City of Charlevoix and CharlevoixTownship are in the process of developing common zoning language to regulatemedical marihuana facil i t ies, and the County Planning Commission wil l probablybe asked to review the draft language.
Countv Gommissioner Comments
Commissioner Christensen reported that the County Board of Commissionersdiscussed Sull ivan's recommendations concerning the segments of the communityrepresented on the Planning Commission at a Committee of the Whole meeting lastweek. Christensen said he didn't think the County Board would make any changes towhat Sullivan recommended. He anticipated that this topic would go before the fullBoard of Commissioners at their next regular meeting. Christensen explained that theCounty Board wil l be designating a segment of the community for each PlanningCommission member to represent. He explained this will assist the Board when makingappointments to fi l l vacancies on the Planning Commission, ensuring that theCommission continues to represent all segments of the community.
Planninq Gommission Gomments
Michael Buttigieg reported that the Michigan Environmental Education CurriculumSupport (MEECS) program offered a module on air quality. Twelve (12) to thirteen (13)teachers participated in the class. W.A.T.C.H. (Water and Air Team for Charlevoix)received a grant to offer the class. The MEECS program is now being offered toteachers in Emmet County and Antrim County as well because they had expressedinterest in the program. Buttigieg said the air quality module went very well, andW.A.T.C.H. received a lot of positive feedback from the teachers. He said the nextmodule in the program will be offered in Fall 2012.
Patrick Howard reported that the Chandler Township Planning Commission is beginningthe process of reviewing their zoning ordinance. Last month, they met with MaryCampbell, a local planning consultant, to discuss specific zoning issues and the needfor new zoning language to address those issues. Next month, the Township PlanningCommission hopes to have initial draft language to review.
Bob Draves reported that South Arm Township will also be reviewing their zoningordinance and making some amendments in order to comply with the Michigan ZoningEnabling Act.
Tom Wieland reported that the new corn elevator in Atwood is running 24 hours a day.They're drying corn and as of this morning, they had taken in 80,000 bushels within thelast two (2) weeks. When a farmer delivers the corn, they can either sell it or store it.Wieland said he delivered corn this morning and sold it because the price was good.He also noticed that a truck from Johannesburg was delivering corn in Atwood, asopposed to going to Saginaw. Wieland said the elevator is fueled with propane. Henoted that the corn harvest is moving along.
Larry Levengood reported that favorable bids were received for building a new site forthe Charlevoix Recycling Drop-off Center. The County Board awarded the bid and thenew site is under construction. lt will be located on Grant Street, south of the SheriffsOffice and Jail. Levengood spoke highly of Frank Shaler's assistance with this project,emphasizing that it 's helpfulto have a knowledgeable and experienced individual on-site to oversee the project. He said the plan is to have the new site constructed beforethe end of the year, weather-permitting. A cardboard baler will be installed, which willrun on 3-phase power. As the cardboard is crushed, it will feed directly into a storagebin. The baler will be manned. The Recycling Committee still needs to determine thehours of operation and other details related to the baler. A baler will also be installed atthe Boyne City Recycling Center. Citizens dropping off cardboard to be recycled afterhours will place it in a storage bin to be baled later. Sullivan asked about the possibilityof having Spartan Stores take the recycled cardboard. He acknowledged that theCounty gets money back for the cardboard we recycle, but said that Spartan Storesmight be willing to have one of their trucks stop and pick up the baled cardboard. lfSpartan picked up the cardboard, the County wouldn't get any money back, but we alsowouldn't be paying to have it hauled away like we do now. Overall, the County mightrealize even more savings by going that route. Levengood said the County would haveto change the agreements currently in place. Sullivan said this might be something toconsider in the future.
Staff Report
Sullivan described the Planning Department activities during the month of October. Heattended the Gaps Analysis program at the Watershed Center in East Jordan. He alsohad a meeting with Ken Polakowski to continue working on the US-31 South CorridorEnhancement project.
Nancy Ferguson arrived at the meeting.
Sullivan also reported that he attended the Lake{o-Lake Trail meeting at CharlevoixCity Hall on October 11th. He said we're still trying to integrate some of the efforts of thecorridor enhancement project into the trail development program. The City ofCharlevoix is developing a Transportation Enhancement grant application for the Lake-to-Lake Trail, and Sullivan provided some information to assist with this effort. We'realso considering a Transportation Enhancement grant for the US-31 South Corridor
Project, and officials from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) said thatcombining the two programs would enhance our abil ity to obtain grant funds, particularlyfor the Corridor Enhancement Project. lf the two projects are combined and the Citywaits until Spring to apply for a Transportation Enhancement grant, they could alsoapply for a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant. The two grants could serveas match for each other, and the Trust Fund grant would pay for many expenses thatthe Transportation Enhancement grant would not cover. The Trail Committee is a littlehesitant to go this route because it would delay the process a bit. However, it wouldsave them from having to raise $50,000 - $100,000 in local funding, and it wouldincrease their match percentage, which would improve the likelihood of receiving bothgrants.
Sullivan also reported that he attended a County Road Commission public hearing on arequest to designate Lake Shore Drive in Norwood Township a natural beauty road.The Road Commission decided at a later date not to designate Lake Shore Drive anatural beauty road at this time.
Sullivan also attended a Planner's Review and Advisory Committee - EducationSubcommittee meeting. The Subcommittee is working on possible projects forPlanner's Moments. He also attended the Planner's Review and Advisory Committeemeeting, the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) meeting, as well as theMichigan Association of Planning (MAP) Conference in Grand Rapids. The conferenceoffered very useful sessions, especially one session on the American CommunitySurvey (ACS). Data collected in the American Community Survey is used bycommunities in applying for grants, particularly recreation grants. The ACS polls eightpercent (8%) of the population over a 1-year,3-year, or 5-year time period, dependingon the population of the community, The survey polls highly populated communitiesmore frequently, and sparsely populated areas less often. Sullivan said the quality ofthe data obtained by the ACS is lower than that formerly obtained by the decennialcensus. There is also an inabil ity to compare some of the figures, which is a challengewhen communities try to fill out the annual dashboard metrics developed by theGovernor's Office.
At the request of the Drain Commissioner, Sullivan attended the Michigan TownshipsAssociation (MTA) Chapter meeting and presented the latest draft of the Storm WaterControl Ordinance. Sullivan said the local officials attending the meeting wanted tohave a county-level storm water appeals board, as opposed to each local unit ofgovernment designating their own appeals board (such as the zoning board of appeals),primarily due to the need for training and the lack of training opportunities available.Buttigieg asked how the County could legally administer the Storm Water Ordinance,given the Michigan Attorney General Opinion issued severalyears ago. Sull ivan saidthe County can administer an ordinance countywide if each local unit of governmentadopts an inter-local agreement, designating the County as the administrator.Discussion took place regarding the knowledge required to handle storm water appeals,and how challenging it is for Townships to keep their Zoning Board of Appeals memberstrained in handling zoning issues, let alone storm water issues.
4
Sullivan said another issue discussed at the MTA Chapter meeting was whether thelocal communities would l ike the Drain Commissioner (elected position) or the SoilErosion Control Officer (appointed position) to be the Agent for administering andenforcing the Storm Water Control Ordinance. He said it was a 50/50 split among thelocal officials at the meeting on which position should be the Agent.
Sullivan reported that Staff met with the Drain Commissioner, Marc Seelye, to work onmore updates to the Draft Storm Water Control Ordinance, based on the discussion atthe MTA Chapter meeting. Subsequently, Sullivan emailed the latest draft of theordinance to Robin Berry, the Melrose Township Clerk, who will fonryard it to legalcounsel for review, on behalf of the MTA Chapter,
Sullivan also reported that he met with the County Board at their Committee of theWhole meeting last week concerning the letter he submitted with his recommendationsfor which segment of the community each Planning Commission member should bedesignated to represent. Also, the City of Charlevoix is adopting a new recreation planand city officials would like to at least have Planning Department Staff review the plan.
Planninq Commission Gomments continued...
Nancy Ferguson reported that she did substitute teaching in Ellsworth to enable one ofthe teachers to attend the air quality unit of the MEECS program. She spent two daysat Grand Traverse Resort attending a physician assistant program for Camp Quality.Ferguson spoke to the East Jordan Garden Club on the topic of recycling plant plastic.She also spoke to the East Jordan Rotary Club for Camp Quality. The RecyclingCommittee toured Boyne Mountain Resort with Ed Grice, the General Manager, toobserve the resort's recycling efforts, and to discuss how the Recycling Committee andthe resort can work together. Ferguson also spoke to the County Board regarding theRecycling Committee bylaws.
Buttigieg added that he spoke with Ed Grice and learned how difficult it is for the resortto dispose of bed sheets. Many of the sheets have gone to the Gaylord OpportunitiesCenter in the past, but the resort has more sheets than the Opportunities Center canhandle. Christensen said the resort also gives sheets to the local hotels. Buttigieg saidsheets are given to the schools for their drama classes as well.
Chairman Jason suggested delaying the next two items on the agenda until later in themeeting, so the Commission could review the Charlevoix Township proposed rezones,since Sherm Chamberlain was attending tonight's meeting specifically for this agendaitem.
lV. Townships, Cities, DEQ and Corps of Engineers ltems
Charlevoix Township Rezones
Commission members and Staff reviewed the request by the Leona P. Zeitler Estate torezone three parcels, having tax identification # 15-004-027-007-00, # 15-004-027-002-25 and # 15-004-027-022-00, located on the north and south side of West Garfield
Avenue, west of Lake Street, from the Agricultural (A) District to the One-FamilyDwelling (R-1 ) District.
Sullivan reviewed the Planning Department Staff Report on the proposed rezones. Herecommended that these three (3) parcels be rezoned from A to R-1, as requested.Sullivan also recommended that the two (2) small parcels fronting on Lake Street, southof Upright Street, be rezoned to R-1 to be consistent with the other properties in thearea. He further recommended that the zoning designation of Applewood Estates beresearched by the Township. Sullivan noted that, in the past, the County PlanningCommission had reviewed and recommended approval of a request to rezone what isnow Applewood Estates from A to R-2, and the Township Planning Commission hadalso recommended approval of the rezoning. lf Applewood Estates is designatedincorrectly on the zoning map, then the map should be corrected. lf the zoning map iscorrect, then Applewood Estates should be rezoned to R-1 or R-2.
Sherm Chamberlain said Charlevoix Township would like to rezone all of the Zeitlerproperty to R-1. In the past, the Township tried to persuade the family to rezone all oftheir estate to R-1 , but Mr. Zeitler was afraid that his property taxes would go up if theproperty was rezoned from A to R-1. Mr. Zeitler is deceased now and the family wouldlike to rezone all of their estate to R-1.
Sullivan commented on the easement that runs across the middle of the Zeitler parcelsouth of Garfield Avenue. Mr. Chamberlain said the easement was established whenthe parcel now owned by Linda Boss was created in the 1940's.
MOTION by Nancy Ferguson, seconded by Larry Levengood, to recommend approvalof the request to rezone three (3) parcels owned by the Leona P. Zeitler Estate fromAgricultural (A) to One-Family Dwelling (R-1), and further recommend that the two (2)small parcels fronting on Lake Street, south of Upright Street, be rezoned to R-1 to beconsistent with the other parcels in the area, and also recommend that CharlevoixTownship research the zoning designation of the Applewood Estates property. Voicevote: all in favor. Motion passed.
Wilson Township Text Amendments
Sullivan stated that Wilson Township is proposing to allow accessory dwelling units as aspecial use in the Resource Development - Agricultural (RDA) District and the RuralResidential (RR-1) District, which is similar to the proposed amendments from MelroseTownship that the Commission reviewed at our October meeting. Sullivan noted thatthe Wilson Township amendments already address the main concerns the Commissionraised during the review of the Melrose Township amendments. Levengood saidWilson Township is requiring a 3-acre minimum lot size and designated parking spacefor accessory dwelling units. Ferguson noted that when the Commission reviewed theMelrose Township amendments, we recommended a minimum of two (2) parkingspaces for accessory dwelling units. Should we recommend the same for WilsonTownship to be consistent? Referring to Section 10.22 C. 6., Buttigieg asked if thelanguage is requiring atleastone (1) parking space, buttheycould have more. Sull ivansaid yes.
Reviewing the Planning Department Staff Report, Sullivan recommended that languagebe included to address the rental of accessory dwelling units. Sullivan said he haddiscussed this issue with Scott McPherson, the Wilson Township Zoning Administrator,and they both agreed that the Township cannot realistically regulate who is using anaccessory dwelling unit. Sutlivan recommended specifying a minimum rental period,and he agreed with Ferguson that a minimum of two (2) parking spaces should berequired for accessory dwelling units, as was recommended to Melrose Township.
The Commission noted that some grammatical corrections are needed in Section 10.22C. 8. Also, the introductory sentence in Section 10.22 C. 8. refers to an occupancypermit. ls this the zoning permit that's issued by the Township or the occupancy permit(certificate of occupancy) that's issued by the County Department of Building Safety? lfit's the latter, is this an effort by the Township to ensure deed restrictions are recordedprior to a certificate of occupancy being issued by the Department of Building Safety?
ln Section 10.22 C. 8. a., insert the word "special" before the word "use" in the first line.
MOTION by Nancy Ferguson, seconded by Michael Buttigieg, to recommend approvalof the proposed text amendments to the Wilson Township Zoning Ordinance concerningaccessory dwelling units with the changes suggested in the Planning Department StaffReport, along with requiring a minimum of two (2) parking spaces for accessory dwellingunits, and in Section 10.22 C. 8., clarifying whether documentation of recorded deedrestrictions should be filed with the Zoning Administrator prior to obtaining a zoningpermit from the Township or an occupancy permit from the County Department ofBuilding Safety. Dlscussion; Commissioner Christensen questioned whether a dwellingthat's 1,000 square feet would be of adequate size, based on the size of homes typicallysought by people in the housing market. He asked about the minimum size requirementfor dwell ing units. Sull ivan said the zoning ordinance requires a minimum size of 876square feet. lt was noted that the accessory dwelling unit could be separate from theprimary dwelling. Both dwellings would also have to meet the setback requirements.Howard said this could create a problem in the future if someone purchases a piece ofpropefi with the intention of splitting it. Sullivan agreed in the case of a transfer inownership of the property through an unrecorded land contract. Vote on the motion: allin favor. Motion passed.
Marion Township Text Amendments
Sull ivan stated that Marion Township is proposing changes to the sign regulations intheir zoning ordinance. He proceeded to review the Planning Department Staff Reporton the proposed amendments. He explained there is some confusion over how manysigns are permitted and the size of the signs allowed. Sullivan said he spoke with MaryCampbell, who is assisting the Township with amending their zoning ordinance, and sheagreed that the proposed language needs to be clarified.
Sullivan recommended that the Township determine how many freestanding signs areallowed, the size of each sign, and the maximum distance from the building thatfreestanding signs can be located.
MOTION by Michael Buttigieg, seconded by Bob Draves, to recommend that MarionTownship clarify how many freestanding signs are permitted, the maximum size of thesigns, and the maximum distance from the building that freestanding signs can beplaced. Voice vote: all in favor. Motion carried.
Corps of Enqineers Public Notice (Sutton)
Commission members and Staff reviewed the Corps of Engineers public notice for aproject proposed by Kermit Sutton to remove four (4) existing pilings from between two(2) existing piers, install six (6) pilings 12 feet east of the east dock and construct a 60-foot long by 6-foot wide boardwalk running parallel to the shoreline directly waterward ofthe existing steel sheet pile wall, supported by four (4) pilings, and mechanically dredgetwo areas in Round Lake in the City of Charlevoix. The purpose of the project is toenhance the riparian use of the property by creating a shoreline that meets the dockingneeds of the owner.
Sullivan noted that the Commission had reviewed the Department of EnvironmentalQuality public notice for this project at their June meeting. At the time, Michael Buttigiegexpressed concern with a third dock proposed to be built on the eastern riparianboundary line. However, the application had stated that boats would not be docked onthe east side of the third dock. So. the Commission had decided to make no commenton the application at that t ime.
Since then, the DEQ issued a permit for the project, but with modifications. ln themodified plan, the applicant eliminated the proposed third dock on the eastern riparianboundary line and shortened the length of the boardwalk. They're still proposing to dodredging. The modified plan permitted by the DEQ is the subject of the Corps ofEngineers public notice. Sullivan said he favored the modified plan over the originalproposal. Levengood suggested the Commission make no comment on thisapplication. Jason suggested sending a letter of support to the Corps of Engineers,indicating that previously the Commission had made no comment, but had someconcerns with the proposed project. However, the Commission is pleased with themodified plan because it addresses our original concerns with the project. OtherCommission members agreed with sending a letter of support.
MOTION by Larry Levengood, seconded by Bob Draves, to send a letter of support forthis project to the Corps of Engineers, stating that previously the Commission had madeno comment on the Department of Environmental Quality pubtic notice for this project,although we had some concerns with the proposed project; however, the Commission ispleased with the modified plan because it addresses our original concerns with theproject. Voice vote: all in favor. Motion passed.
Reouest to Reconsider Corps of Enqineers Application for Demmer
Sullivan said the Planning Department received a request for the Planning Commissionto reconsider a Corps of Engineers permit application submitted by Edward Demmer toremove an unauthorized wood dock north of the existing boathouse, dredge and place
spoils in an upland area, install stone riprap, discharge clean sand between the stoneriprap and the water's edge, install a permanent floating pier anchored to existing pilingsperpendicular to shore, install two personal watercraft hoists, retain an unauthorizedpermanent floating pier that is perpendicular to shore and south of the existing boathouse, and install a deck (viewing platform) waterward of the bulkhead. The statedpurpose of the project is to provide boat docking for eight (8) watercraft and a waterfrontrecreation area on Lake Charlevoix at 02990 M-66 North in Eveline Township.
The Commission originally reviewed this permit application at the June meeting. Theyraised a number of concerns with the proposed project, and subsequentlyrecommended denial of the permit application for the following reasons: 1) this is asmall piece of propefi and the owner was aware of this when he bought the property,2) the proposed activity would cover an additional 800+ square feet of surface area onthe lake, not including the mooring and boat hoist areas, which is an excessive andunnecessary consumption of water surface area, 3) if the owner wanted to dock or moorthat many boats, he should have purchased a piece of property that could moreeffectively accommodate his needs, and 4) the proposed project is not in keeping withthe recommendations in the Lake Charlevoix Management Plan (page 51) as follows:(a) Expansions of existing marinas or access site developments should have a total of100 feet of lake frontage on Lake Charlevoix for each of the following: boat slip, rackstorage unit or carltrailer parking space, as the case may be within the project, and (b)One boat dock (which is not ahazard to navigation) be allowed for each lot qualifyingfor use as a single family dwell ing unit, as outl ined by the specific local zoningordinance.
Sullivan said he met with representatives of Mr. Demmer to discuss the Commission'sconcerns with the project as well as changes proposed by Mr. Demmer, which aredescribed in a statement provided by Robert Drost of Drost Landscape Design andConstruction Inc. as follows: 1) there will only be four (4) permanent boats at theresidence; any other boats will be short term visitors. No new docks will be installedthan were present at the purchase of the property. 2) The riprap shoreline protectionoriginally planned wil l now consist of bio-engineering to provide a green shorelineprotection strip.
Buttigieg questioned if the modified project complies with the Lake CharlevoixManagement Plan. Sull ivan said, according to John Ferguson, the surveyor working onthe project, Mr. Demmer has 280 feet of frontage on Lake Charlevoix. Sullivan alsosaid that Peter Wendling, Eveline Township's attorney, had submitted a letter to theCorps of Engineers, indicating that the Township's concerns with the project had beenaddressed.
The Commission studied the permit application once again, along with a large drawingthat had been provided by Mr. Drost, and they considered the proposed modifications tothe project.
Bob Draves said the project still does not comply with the Lake Charlevoix ManagementPlan, but Eveline Township is comfortable with the changes proposed. He also notedthat the docks on the Demmer property were installed prior to the development of the
Lake Charlevoix Management Plan. Buttigieg expressed concern that the project stitldoes not comply with the Lake Management Plan.
Wieland stepped out of the room.
After further consideration, the Commission took the following action:
MOTION by Bob Draves, seconded by Michael Buttigieg, to state that the Commissionis concerned that this project does not comply with the Lake Charlevoix ManagementPlan, but Eveline Township's concerns have been addressed, and the Commissionacknowledges that the Lake Charlevoix Management Plan was developed after theoriginal docks were installed on the Demmer propefi. Voice vote: all present in favor(Yeas 6, Nays 0, Abstain 0, Absent 1). Motion passed.
Wieland returned to the meeting.

editorial was in the newspaper, Shaler stated he'd heard comments about it already. Tripp mentioned speaking with a
businessman at the Equalization Dept. who was told businesses couldn't use the cardboard recycling bins. Discussion
followed on the subject. Consensus need to publicize when the cardboard compactors are up & running for businesses
to use.Boyne Citv - Martin on duty, site is fine & was recently cleaned up by the jail inmates (7 bags of garbage collected).
Their assistance was very much appreciated.East Jordan - Anderson reported a recent visit by OSHA at the Transfer Station which now has a porta-potty on site.
Boyne Valley - Heaton stated Boyne Mountain is no longer bringing their cardboard to the recycling site, volume
down! He noted the repaired bin still hasn't been painted. Martin reported she'd spoken to American Waste before the

compactors have been spray painted by the trustees and set in place by the road commission. A portion of the wall &
cement were removed in BC for the compactor, he expects it to be up & running for less than $2000. Realistically, we
need to think about a part-time person to educate recyclers and operate the compactor. Discussion followed. Tripp
stated the neighbors are upset and have been complaining, because we didn't let them know what was going to
happen. Hewitt and Shaler have been contacted by neighbors as well. Roloff stated she had spoken with a few
neighbors who had suggested posting hours of operation. Levengood added more historical information regarding that
neighborhood, discussion followed on their complaints and how to handle them. Seltzer added, they have experienced
similar problems with their Glen's north site which has the heaviest use and the efforts they've made to keep the
neighbors happy. Levengood noted that maybe the improvements made to fix the drainage problem Grant Street has
always had will help.

out in the newspapers yet! Points North printing should have them finished next week and Martin will deliver them to

audio of the meeting, however a computer wasn't available. She explained how historically there have been 12 active
& involved members and pointed out how much has been done for FREE, adding how members would rather have a
vote than receive a per diem. Reinhardt supported l2 members & no per diem. Shaler was asked for his opinion,
stating l2 would be great with only the top four officers eligible for per diem. However, there was a lack of support
for more than 7 voting members. Seltzer suggested the group follow a "consensus model'', where everyoneparticipates and are recognized as equals (whether they can vote or not). Discussion followed. Everyone was

It's a work in progress.New Business: Shaler informed the committee Undersheriff Chuck Vondra has requested the recycling program

Health Department awarded Safe Routes to School grant for six schools
Q'{ovember 28,2011) The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is one of five local health
departments awarded a grant from Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) to develop Safe
Routes to Schools (SRTS) Action Plans in partnership with local schools. Bo5me City Elementary and
Middle School, Gaylord Intermediate and Middle School, and Pellston Elementary and Middle School are
all participating in the program, designed to encourage and enable school children, including children
with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to and from school when distance is reasonable and routes are safe.
"'We recognizethe important role schools can play in addressing the childhood obesity epidemic,"
said Fred Sitkins, Boyne City Elementary School Principal. "Children are not as physically active as they
once were, with decreases in the numbers walking or biking to school and increases in "screen time" and
other sedentary pursuits."
SRTS Teams are forming now in each community to oversee development of local Action Plans.
In Pellston, the Building Healthy Communities Coalition's Physical Activity Work Group serves as the
SRTS Team. "We're recruiting now for all of the SRTS Teams," said Jim Harrington, Building Healthy
Communities Consultant for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. "Anyone who is interested
is welcome to join us."
Harrington said the first steps to the SRTS project will soon be underway. "'We're preparing to
collect data now," he said. "There's a flurry of activity: parents are completing SRTS surveys, teachers
are compiling tallies of how students got to school, and we're planning walking and biking audits in each
community''.
Walking and biking audits are very important to developing SRTS Action Plans:
o Boyne City: December 6 at" 2:30 PMo Gaylord: to be determinedo Pellston: November 29 at2:30PM.
"In addition to physical activity's obvious health benefits, we know students who get at least 60
minutes of exercise per day come to school better rested and less stressed," said Jerry Belanger, Gaylord
Middle School Principal. "Walking and biking to school makes students better learners."
The Health Departmenf of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public Health
Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health problems of
vuLnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix,

Health Department receives Michigan Cancer Consortium Challenge Award
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan received the Michigan Cancer
Consortium (MCC) Challenge Award at the Consortium's annual meeting. Eight of the MCC's
1 16 members were awarded for their plans to increase access to and utilization of cancer
screening services among their own employees. Joy Klooster, who coordinates the Health
Department's Breast & Cervical Cancer Control Program and the Colorectal CancerEarly
Detection Program, accepted the award on behalf of the agency.
"The Challenge is a win-win for employees and employers," said Anna Notier, MCC
Cancer Policy Consultant. "Our primary goal is to improve employee health and wellness. At
the same time, a healthy workforce can improve the bottom line. "
Each of the MCC Challenge Award recipients committed to assessing their
organization's curent policies; obtain baseline data regarding screening rates; and create an
action plan based on the assessment.
"We're expecting to see increases in employee cancer screening among the Challenge
organizations," said Notier. "Those that have the most dramatic improvements will be
publicized as model organizations to encourage other employers to adopt similar policies."
According to the Partnership for Prevention, employers who want to invest their health
care dollars will emphasize preventive services that are proven to be cost-effective. Breast,
cervical, and colorectal cancer screenings are proven to be cost-effective in the short, mid, and
long-term.
"We're proud of our Employee Wellness Program," said Pat Fralick, Director of Family
& Community Health for the Health Department. "We believe it is important to encourage our
employees to adopt a healthy lifestyle. We've made sure our health insurance policy covers
cancer screening. But we also offer employee wellness activities year-round, such as weightJoss
contests and lunch time presentations on topics such as healthy nutrition, reducing stress, and
ergonomics.
In addition to the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, the other Challenge Award
winners are American Cancer Society-Great Lakes, Catherine Health Center, District Health
Department#I}, Health Plus of Michigan, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Michigan Osteopathic
Association, and the Sparrow Health System.

Governor recognizes Erika Van Dam for work at child and adolescent health centers
Erika Van Dam, a Family & Community Health Supervisor for the Health Department of
Northwest Michigan, received a Certificate of Recognition from Governor Rick Snyder at the
annual meeting of the Michigan Department of Community Health's Child & Adolescent Health
Center Program. One of threerecognized across the state for outstanding achievement, Van Dam
received the award for her work to prevent interpersonal violence in teens and to reduce the
stigma associated with domestic and sexual violence at the Health Department's student health
centers in Mancelona and Pellston.
Last year, the Ironmen Health Center in Mancelona received a small grant from the State
of Michigan to serve as a pilot site for Project Connect, a national initiative of Futures Without
Violence.
"Erika didn't stop there," said Pat Fralick, Director of Family & Community Health, "she
took the content of Project Connect and spread its message to our other school health clinic and
throughout the Health District. She was also invited to attend a 'Train the Trainer' in
Washington, D.C. to train other professionals in the field across the state of Michigan."
Van Dam trained all of the Health Department's Public Health Nurses and Public Health
Technicians in recognrzing and responding to adolescent relationship abuse. She reviewed the
agency's policies and procedures with staff from the Women's Resource Center and revised
them to assure they were relevant and comprehensive. The Michigan Department of Community
Health's Child & Adolescent Health Center Program has since shared the revised policies and
procedures with all Coordinators across the state. Both the Hornet Health Center and Ironmen
Health Center have developed additional events and activities with Van Dam's help, including
providing small groups of adolescents with skills and tools to recognize relationship violence and
provide leadership in their schools to prevent it. The Hestia Women's Giving Circle provided
funding to conduct this training at the Homet Health Center in Pellston.
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public
Health Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health
problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of

At least l0 cases of chickenpox reported in Antrim County outbreak so farl more expectedParents urged to check children's immunization records and schedule appointments for shotsif needed
(November 9,2011) At least l0 cases of chickenpox in an Antrim County school building have
prompted public health officials to remind parents to check their children's immunrzation
records. Children need2 doses of varicella vaccine to protect against the illness and prevent its
spread.
To help respond to the outbreak, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan is
offering a Community Immunization Clinic on Thursday, November 10 at 3PM to 5 PM at the
Mancelona Family Resource Center. Varicella (chickenpox), seasonal flu, and many other
immunizations will be available for both adults and children. Medicaid and many other health
insurance policies are accepted as payment. No one 18 or under is tumed away for inability to
pay for vaccines required by Michigan Immunization Rules, including the varicella vaccine.
"Chickenpox is less common than it once was, thanks to the varicella vaccine," said
Joshua Meyerson, MD, Medical Director for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan.
"It's not usually a serious illness, but it can cause serious complications, such as pneumonia and
meningitis. Even a relatively mild case of chickenpox can cause an infected child to lose a week
or more of school."
The Health Department is working closely with the school to control the outbreak.
School officials are in frequent contact with public health nurses to track new cases.
Everyone is urged to get fully immunized, especially individuals who have been exposed
to chickenpox. "It may not be too late for some people who are at risk of contracting
chickenpox," Meyerson said. "Vaccination within 3 to 5 days of exposure is effective at
preventing the illness-and it helps stop the spread of the disease.'
Meyerson is not only concerned about students contracting chicken pox. "There are
individuals in every community who are not able to get vaccines. The greater the number of
immunized people around these vulnerable children and adults, the more they are protected from
the illness," he said.
For example, chicker"rpox poses risks to the f-etus if a rnother contracts it during
pregnancy, but pregnant women cannot get vaccinated against the disease. Others who are at
risk of contracting chickenpox because they cannot receive the varicella vaccine are childr-en or
adults who have a weakened irnrnune system fi'om an illness or medication and children or adults
who are allergic to vaccine components.
"That's why students who are under-immunized will be excluded from school for up to
2l days until there are no new cases. We take outbreaks of communicable diseases very
seriously."
The Health Department is mandated by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote
wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health problems of vulnerable
populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix,
Emmet, and Otsego counties. To schedule immunizations, call your health care provider or
the Health Department, at 800-432-+121.

Flu-like illnesses have arrived in the area and are on the riseVaccination is best protection against the flu
Appointments still available at upcoming Health Department Community ImmunizatiortClinics
(November 4,2011) Influenza has arrived in northwest Michigan and is one the rise according to
local public health officials. Over the last three weeks, schools reporting "flu-like illness" to the
Health Department of Northwest Michigan have steadily increased. Last week, nearly 200
students were absent from school in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties with flu
symptoms.
"The single best way to prevent getting the flu is to get vaccinated every year," said Joshua
Meyerson, MD, Medical Director for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. "That's
why the Health Department offers Community Immunization Clinics throughout the four-county
health district." Meyerson said appointments for flu vaccine, and many other vaccines, are still
available at three clinics:
o Tuesday, November 8 at Petoskey Middle School at 4 PM to 7 PM.
r Thursday, November 10, at Gaylord Intermediate School at 4 PM to 7 PM
o Saturday, November 19 at North Central Michigan College at 10 AM to 2 PM (at the Health &
Fitness Fair)
To schedule an appointment atany of the Community Immunization Clinics, call the
Health Department of Northwest Michigan at 800-432-4121during regular business hours. The
charge for flu vaccine at Health Department clinics is $25; charges for additional vaccines vary.
"We can bill Medicare, Medicaid, and several private health insurance companies for
immunizations," said Pat Fralick, the Health Department's Director of Family & Community
Health. Fralick said the Health Department does not turn away anyone age 18 or younger for
inability to pay for immunizations required for school. She noted anyone under age l8 must
have their parent or guardian accompany them for immunizations.
Fralick highly recommends making appointments at the Community Immunization
Clinics. "We do quite a lot of preparation to make sure people can get in and out as quickly as
possible," she said. "'When we know how many are coming, we can bring plenty of vaccine and
have adequate nursing staff. We can also identify any other vaccines individuals may need by
checking Michigan Care Improvement Registry in advance and give them at that same
appointment."
In addition to annual flu vaccination, other actions to take to avoid the flu are-
o Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
o Cover your mouth and nose.
o Thoroughly clean yourhands.
o Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Influenza viruses are spread when someone who is sick with the flu coughs, sneezes, or speaks,
releasing viruses into the air for other people to breathe. When these viruses enter the nose,
throat, or lungs, they begin to multiply, causing disease. The viruses can also be spread when a
person touches a surface with flu viruses on it and then touches his/trer nose or mouth.
The Health Department ofNorthwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public
Health Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health
problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of

Learn to Eat Safe Fish
A recent report by the Biodiversity Research Institute, Great Lakes Commission and the
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse cited that while environmental controls have limited the
amount of new mercury pollution in our Great Lakes region, the levels of mercury found in some
species of fish in local waterways have continued to increase.
Most locally-caught fish are a healthful, low-fat source of protein and can be safely eaten.
However, consumption of some fish should be limited. For this reason, the Michigan Department
of Community Health (MDCH) issues the Michigan Fish Advisory to help people choose fish
that are low in mercury and other contaminants.
"With the evidence of increasing mercury levels in some areas, it's important for local
residents to consult the Michigan Fish Advisory when deciding which fish to consume," said
Joshua Meyerson, MD, Medical Director for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan.
Unlike other chemicals sometimes found in fish, you cannot reduce the amount of
mercury in fish by cleaning and cookingit a certain way. You also cannot see or taste mercury in
fish. The only way to detect mercury in fish is by having it tested by a laboratory.
This is why filets from fish taken from lakes and rivers around the state are tested each
year for mercury and other chemicals at the MDCH Laboratory. The results from these tests
allow MDCH to determine which species of fish are more likely to have higher levels of mercury
than others.
MDCH uses the test results from the fish filets to develop consumption advice that
protects everyone who eats the fish. The results, published in the Michigan Fish Advisory, can
help you choose fish that are safe to eat for your entire family. Since Michigan has more than
11,000lakes, streams and rivers to fish in, not all bodies of water have had fish tested for
mercury. The MDCH Statewide Mercury Advisory provides general information on safe fish to
eat from lakes that have not been tested and included in the Michigan Fish Advisory.
You can use the MDCH Eat 8 tool to help you select store-bought fish that are lower in
mercury. Eat 8 features commonly purchased fish that have been assigned points based on the
amount of mercury reported by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Eat eight points
or less per month to stay within the accepted limits of mercury consumption to avoid health
effects.
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public
Health Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health
problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of
Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties. For a copy of the Michigan Fish Advisory

Protect against carbon monoxide poisoning as winter months near
(November 3,2011) Local public health officials are reminding everyone to be safe this winterand not put families in danger of being poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that kills more than 500 Americanseach year and up to 50 a year n Michigan. It is produced by all forms of combustion. Carbonmonoxide poisoning is completely preventable. Warning signs include headache, nausea,vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, and confu sion.
"Now is the time to ensure that gas-fired furnaces, hot water heaters, and carbon monoxidedetectors are working properly," said Joshua Meyerson, MD, Medical Director for the HealthDepartment of Northwest Michigan. "Carbon monoxide is difficult to detect so it's important toevacuate the area of contamination irnmediately and seek medical attention if you suspect youhave been exposed to carbon monoxide."
Never use generators, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline or charcoal-burning devices insideyour home, basement, garage or near a window because these appliances give off carbonmonoxide. Running a car in an enclosed garage can create lethal levels of carbon monoxide inminutes.
Michigan's carbon monoxide poisoning tracking system counted 39 unintentional deaths and7,340 non-fatal unintentional carbon monoxide poisonings in Michigan in 2009 alone. More than60 percent occurred during the winter months and happened most frequently at home.
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public Health Codeto promote wellness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health problems ofvulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of Antrim,Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties.
