Citizen Comments on Non-Agenda Items
No public comment was provided.
Amendment of Bylaws as Requested at December 10, 2020 Regular Meeting
Chair Farmer presented the proposed amendment to the SMBA bylaws to allow for each
member jurisdiction to appoint one member from among the full-time elected staff, and one
member from among any elected official. A motion was made by Jeff Sorensen and supported
by Larry Stehouwer to approve the amendment as presented.
A roll call vote was taken showing:
Yes: Dusty Farmer, Jeff Sorensen, Larry Stehouwer, Carol DeHaan
The motion was carried 4-0, with 1 vacancy.
*Having already been appointed to the position by Oshtemo Township as a representative on
the SMBA board, Cheri Bell became a voting member upon the approval of the bylaw
amendment.*
Discussion of the bylaws continued with Larry Stehouwer raising concerns over compliance with
the bylaws as they pertain to the at-large board member position. Board consensus was to
further amend the bylaws to have the at-large board member hold a four-year term, staggered
one year from the rest of the board members. A motion was made by Dusty Farmer and
supported by Jeff Sorensen to direct Office Manager Gibson to work with Attorney Porter to
develop a draft amendment to that effect for consideration at the next regular board meeting.
A roll call vote was taken showing:
Yes: Dusty Farmer, Jeff Sorensen, Larry Stehouwer, Carol DeHaan, Cheri Bell
The motion was carried 5-0.
Mr. Stehouwer also mentioned that the board might consider the manner of its composition at
future meetings to allow for additional at large members while still maintaining an odd number
of members. Chair Farmer requested that the topic be added to the February 25, 2021 regular
meeting agenda.
No further board action was taken.

Board Chair’s Report
Discussion was held amongst board members regarding an ongoing matter of non-compliance
with a property owner.
No board action was taken.
Other Business
(Item 1) Office Manager Gibson noted that a decision was needed regarding the employer
contributions to employee’s HSA accounts. Mr. Gibson noted that in the past that amount has
been $2,100, but also that he was unsure where that number came from. Attorney Porter and
Insurance Representative Geoff Lansky provided input regarding the legality of such
contributions. Mr. Gibson recommended that the employer contribution be raised to $3,500
per employee, to match the single member HDHP deductible amount. A motion was made by
Jeff Sorensen and supported by Dusty Farmer to raise the employer contribution to $3,500 per
employee.

MEMORANDUM
To: SMBA Board
From: Office Manager
Date: 2/11/2021
Re: Electrical Permit Application Fee Change Request
This memo is a request to add a new line-item fee to our electrical permit application to account for new trends.
More and more people are having solar panel arrays installed on their homes, and the means by which
contractors account for the installation on our electrical application vary. To curtail this, a request is made to
add a new item as follows:
– Location: Item 16
– Cost: $10
– Footnote: 1
Solar Panel Installations: This item covers electrical work done for a residential solar panel
installation. Application and inspection fees must also be added.

BOARD
3.01 General Powers. The business, property, and affairs of SMBA shall be managed by the
SMBA Board.
3.02 Number. The SMBA Board shall consist of two (2) members appointed by the governing
body of each Participating Local Unit for a four (4) year term. One (1) member shall be chosen
from among the Supervisor, Clerk, or Treasurer. The second member may be chosen from
among any elected member of its governing body. In the event an appointed SMBA Board
member no longer holds elective office as Supervisor, Clerk or Treasurer for any reason, then
the governing body of the Participating Local Unit shall appoint another member chosen from
among the Supervisor, Clerk or Treasurer to fill the vacancy for the remaining unexpired term.
In addition to regularly appointed members, the governing body of the Participating Local Unit
may appoint two (2) alternates selected from any elected member of its governing body to
serve on the SMBA Board, but only when either or both of its regularly appointed members
cannot attend SMBA Board meetings. Alternates attending SMBA Board meetings shall have the
same authority, including the right to vote, as the appointed member for whom the alternate is
attending.
The SMBA Board members appointed by the governing body of each Participating Local
Unit shall, by majority vote, select one additional at-large SMBA Board member, who shall serve
a one (1) 4-year term and who shall be a resident of Oshtemo Township or Cooper Township.
The term shall be offset one (1) year from that of the Participating Local Unit elected officials.
The at-large member shall have all the authority as other members of the SMBA Board, except
no at-large member shall be permitted to vote on the selection of any subsequent at-large
member. The residency of the at-large member shall alternate between Oshtemo Township
and Cooper Township every four years. By way of example, if the first at-large member selected
by the SMBA Board to serve one (1) a 4-year term is a resident of Oshtemo Township, then the

second at-large member selected by the SMBA Board for the next one (1) 4-year term shall be a
resident of Cooper Township and each subsequent at-large member’s residency shall continue
to alternate between Oshtemo and Cooper Townships in the same manner. Notwithstanding,
an at-large member whose term has expired shall continue to serve until such time as the next
duly qualified at-large member is selected by the SMBA Board. However, a hold over at-large
member shall not diminish or shorten the term of any selected subsequent at-large member,
whose term shall be at least one (1) 4-years from the date of selection, even if the prior
member is a hold over, so long as such a term does not result in the loss of the 1-year term
offset between the elected members and the at-large member. If the SMBA Board cannot
agree on the selection of any at-large member, then selection shall be by lot and all names of
potential at-large members shall be written on identical slips of paper (together with the
residency of potential at-large members, but only in the case of the selection of the first atlarge member) and placed in a hat. An appointed member of the SMBA Board shall draw one
(1) name from the hat at a public meeting and that person shall be selected as the at-large
member.
