Other Business
(Item 1) In reference to the Medical Insurance Taxable Opt-Out Policy, Cheri Bell asked if the
Authority should require proof of alternate insurance coverage for employees to be eligible for
the opt-out payment to ensure that employees were not being enticed into not having
insurance coverage. Office Manager Gibson voiced his opinion that such verification was
unnecessary and invasive. Board members expressed interest in an opinion from Attorney
Porter, and directed him to look into the topic and discuss it at the next regular meeting.
Seeing and hearing no other business, and having exhausted the agenda, Chair Dusty Farmer
declared the meeting Adjourned at 9:58 a.m.
*Note: After the meeting had adjourned it was realized that the board had neglected to discuss
the item which was removed from the consent agenda (Memo Re: Recording Equipment
Purchase Request). The item will be forwarded to the agenda for the next regular meeting.*
Next Regular Meeting – August 26 @ 8:30 a.m. via Zoom®.

MEMORANDUM
To: SMBA Board
From: Office Manager
Date: 2021-07-13
Re: Meeting Recording Equipment Purchase Request
Purpose
The purpose of the request is to authorize the purchase of equipment to record and live stream SMBA board
meetings once we return to in-person meetings.
Background
Being able to live stream the meetings will allow for enhanced community engagement, while publishing a
recording of the meetings enhances transparency and provides an invaluable resource for the development of
meeting minutes.
While the equipment is not needed immediately, it is prudent to purchase said equipment and establish a
workflow before it is needed.
Cost / Funding Source
The total cost for the necessary equipment will be approximately $2,620. The capital outlay account currently
has an available balance of $4,215.28. There are ample funds to make the purchase without amending the
budget. The purchase requires board approval because the total is greater than $2,500.
Request
A request is made to authorize the purchase of such equipment as is necessary to facilitate the recording and
live streaming of in-person board meetings up to an amount of $3,500.

administration of said code(s) under the terms and conditions herein contained and in accordance
with the provisions of the “Urban Cooperation Act” (1967 PA 7 – MCL § 124.501 et seq.) as
well as other pertinent laws and statutes in the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Participating Local Units to restate and further amend

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and conditions
herein contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the Participating Local Units hereto as
follows:
2021-08-26 Rev. 2021-08-25 SMBA Board Packet | Page 27 of 60
Page 2 of 15
1. Joint Construction Code Authority
There is hereby created and established a joint construction code authority, known as
Southwest Michigan Building Authority (“SMBA”), which shall be a separate legal entity
governed by a Board (“SMBA Board”) established by this Agreement and under Section 7 of the
Urban Cooperation Act. SMBA shall be a body corporate with authority as the Enforcing
Agency of each Participating Local Unit under Section 8(b) of the State Construction Code Act
and is empowered to discharge the responsibilities of the Participating Local Units under the
State Construction Code Act to sue and enjoin any violation of the Construction Code or for a
fine or the imprisonment of any violator or any additional duty required by law, this Agreement,
or Local Ordinance.
The SMBA Board shall consist of two (2) members appointed by the governing body of
each Participating Local Unit chosen from among the Supervisor, Clerk, or Treasurer for a two
(2) 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. However, i 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 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.
2021-08-26 Rev. 2021-08-25 SMBA Board Packet | Page 28 of 60
Page 3 of 15
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) four (4) year term and who shall be a resident of Oshtemo Township or Cooper
Township a Participating Local Unit. The at-large member shall have all of 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 the Participating Local Units every
year term. By way of example, if the first at-large member selected by the SMBA Board to serve
a one (1) four (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) four (4) year term shall be a resident of Cooper
Township a different Participating Local Unit. and eEach subsequent at-large member’s
residency shall continue to alternate between Oshtemo and Cooper Townships the Participating
Local Units in the same manner until every Participating Local Unit has been represented by a
duly selected at-large member. Notwithstanding, any 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 one (1) four (4) years from the
date of selection, even if the prior member is a hold over. 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 atlarge 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 at-large 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.

(c) The Construction Board of Appeals shall meet at such times as said Board may
determine. It may adopt bylaws and rules of procedure covering any matters upon which it may
act.

Participating Local Units in the preceding year. Once SMBA is dissolved or a Participating
Local Unit Withdraws, each affected municipality shall be responsible for its own enforcement
and administration of the Construction Code.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Participating Local Units have executed this
Agreement as of the date and day hereinbefore set forth and in pursuance of a duly-adopted
resolution of the governing body of said Participating Local Unit adopted at a duly-called

From: Office Manager
Date: 2021-08-20
Re: Permit Transfer Policy (New)
Background
Staff recently encountered an issue with a property owner in Oshtemo Township wherein the owner had hired
contractors to perform work at their property and summarily fired the contractor partway through the work. The
contractor requested that their permits be canceled. Because there were now no valid permits for the work,
new permits were required to be obtained. The owner has chosen to obtain the permits themselves as
permitted by the Code (2015 MRC / 1972 PA 230).
The owner initially requested that the permits be transferred from the contractor to themselves. SMBA has
always operated under the informal policy that permits are non-transferrable, and so the request was denied.
The owner then requested that the fees for the permits obtained (and summarily canceled) by the contractor be
applied to their new permits to complete the work. This request was also denied under the principle that
permits are non-transferrable. The gist of the owner’s complaint is that they are being double-charged for the
permits because they paid for the permits issued to the contractors.
It is the opinion of staff that even though the owner may have indirectly paid for the permits via their contract,
these monies must remain associated with the original applicant. We have no mechanism to track that kind of
monetary transfer, and the BS&A software does not offer such a feature. We have reduced the permit costs to
the greatest extent possible, only billing for the outstanding inspections required to be performed and the
application fees for the trade permits.
In response to this situation, it was discovered that SMBA has no formal policy declaring permits and their
associated fees non-transferrable. While neither the 2015 Michigan Residential Code or 1972 PA 230
specifically state that permits are non-transferrable, they also do not specify that the Authority Having
Jurisdiction cannot enact a policy to that effect.
Request
A request is made to approve and adopt as policy the draft policy presented in conjunction with this
memorandum to codify the existing informal policy which SMBA has operated under since its formation.

ADM-08: Permit Transfer Policy
ADM-08:1
Originally adopted by the Southwest Michigan Building Authority Board of Directors on YYYY-MM-DD.
Purpose
(1) Establish a policy for the transfer of permits and associated fees between parties.
Statement of Policy
(2) It is the policy of the Southwest Michigan Building Authority (SMBA) that a permit, once issued to a qualified
applicant, shall not be transferred to another qualified applicant.
(3) Fees paid to SMBA to obtain a permit shall not be transferred between a permit or multiple permits.
Procedure
(4) If a permit has not yet been issued to a qualified applicant, the applicant may request that the application be
canceled to allow for a different qualified applicant to submit a new application in their place.
(a) If construction documents have already been submitted for review, these documents may be transferred to the
new application with the consent of the original applicant.
(b) The original applicant may be liable for plan review fees incurred to date unless the new permit applicant has
agreed to take on these fees under their application.
(5) If a permit has been issued to a qualified applicant but work has not commenced on the project (to be verified by
the Building Official by means of periodic inspection), the applicant may request that the permit be canceled. If
requested by the applicant, fees paid to SMBA to obtain the permit may be refunded in accordance with the Refund
of Permit Fee Policy.
(6) If a permit has been issued to a qualified applicant but work has commenced on the project, the applicant may
request the cancelation of the permit. In accordance with the Refund of Permit Fees policy, any fees paid to SMBA
to obtain the permit are not eligible for refund. In accordance with this Policy, the fees may not be transferred to
pay for a new application.
(a) After a request has been made by the applicant to cancel the permit, new permit(s) must be obtained by a
qualified applicant to resume or complete work on the project.
(b) If new permit(s) are obtained by a qualified applicant, the Building Official may at their discretion allow the new
applicant to only include the remaining inspections on their application to complete work started under a
different permit / applicant plus applicable application fee(s).
(i) This Policy should not be construed to allow for a $0 permit fee, nor should it be construed to mandate a
reduction in permit application fees.

Re: Telnet Contract Renewal
Background
The Authority’s current contract with Telnet Worldwide for telephony services is currently set to expire on
September 22, 2021. SMBA was approached by Telnet to inform us that the existing dedicated phone lines
(referred to as a T1 circuit) are being phased out by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and as a
result continued use of this T1 circuit will result in increased costs.
Provided for the board’s consideration is a quote reflecting the decommissioning of the Authority’s T1 circuit to
be replaced with a Voice Over IP (VOIP) solution which leverages the existing fiber internet service. Also
included in this quote are new desk phones, and a minor change to the standard operation of the phone
system (contact center queue).
As proposed, the quote will result in a net decrease in monthly costs of approximately $195.
Request
A request is made to approve the quote as presented and authorize the Office Manager to renew the Telnet
contract with a 60-month contract term as provided in the quote.

Term of Agreement
The effective date of this Agreement is the date signed by the last Party to sign this TelNet Service Agreement. However, the date of installation
of all services shall determine the end date of the Initial Term of the Agreement. By way of example, if the obligations under this Agreement

TelNet E911 Disclosure Notice and Acknowledgment
This E911 Disclosure Notice and Acknowledgment (‘‘E911 Acknowledgment’‘) is agreed, acknowledged and accepted by TelNet
Worldwide Inc. (‘‘TelNet’‘) and its end user customer (‘‘Customer’‘ or ‘‘you’‘) in connection with Customer’s purchase and use of TelNet
Service. All TelNet Service is governed by the Terms and Conditions found at https://www.telnetww.com/legal (‘‘Terms and
Conditions’‘). Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this E911 Acknowledgment shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict between this E911 Acknowledgment and the Terms and Conditions, this
E911 Acknowledgment shall control.
Section 1 – Emergency Services – VoIP 911 Calling: Comparison with Traditional Landline 911 Services
TelNet provides E911 Service as a component of TelNet’s Voice over Internet Protocol (‘‘VoIP’‘) service (‘‘Service’‘). TelNet’s E911
Service enables Customers to communicate with emergency services by dialing 911. When Customer dials 911, the 911 call is routed
from TelNet’s network to the Public Safety Answering Point (‘‘PSAP’‘) or local emergency service personnel designated for the physical
address Customer provided to TelNet at the time of activation of Service (as may be updated by Customer).
However, VoIP E911 Service is different in important ways from traditional landline E911. The Federal Communications Commission
(‘‘FCC’‘) requires all VoIP service providers, such as TelNet, to inform their customers of these differences. It is important that you
understand how these differences affect your ability to access E911 services. Please carefully read this Notice.
By signing this Notice, you are acknowledging that you understand the following differences associated with VoIP
911 Service:
A. VoIP E911 service will not function during a power outage or disruption. If there is an interruption in your power or a power surge,
when power is restored, your VoIP equipment may need to be reset to reinitiate your VoIP service, including your VoIP 911 and
E911 services.
B. VoIP E911 service will not function if your broadband connection is terminated, interrupted or degraded.
C. If you disable or damage your VoIP device or equipment, VoIP E911 service calls may not complete.
D. Unless correctly registered, if your phone number is a phone number typically associated with a geographic area different than the
area in which you are using your VoIP device, your 911 call may be routed to an incorrect PSAP and emergency personnel may
not be dispatched to the correct location.
E. If your 911 call cannot be completed, is dropped or disconnected and/or if your VoIP E911 Service is not operational for any
reason, and/or if the caller is unable to speak, the PSAP and emergency personnel may not be able to identify your phone number
in order to call you back.
F. If billing issues arise due to delinquent or unpaid invoices or other reasons that result in the suspension or termination of your
TelNet VoIP services, the ability to make 911 calls will cease.
G. Due to technical constraints, there is a greater possibility of network congestion and/or reduced speed in the routing of a 911 call
made utilizing VoIP equipment as compared to traditional 911 dialing over traditional public switched telephone networks.
H. VoIP E911 Service will not work if you move your VoIP device to a location outside the United States.
I. If you move your VoIP device to a new location, as explained below, you must register your new location. However, please
be advised that it may take a few days for the change in address to be processed. If you move your VoIP device before your
new registered location can be processed, your 911 call may be routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider and
emergency personnel being dispatched to the incorrect location. Please register your new location several days in advance of any
move and include the date on which the move will occur.

Section 2 – Registration of New Locations and other Customer Obligations
A. Registered Location Required
All Customers are required to register the intended physical location(s) of each of their VoIP devices when placing a Sales Order
with TelNet. If you move any registered VoIP device, you must immediately update the Registered Address with the new physical
location of the device(s). Calling 911 from an improperly registered number may subject you to a $100 per call pass-through fee
from the 911 administrator.
B. How to update Registered Location(s)
Please use the E911 tab on the TelNet Portal (https://portal.telnetww.com) to input the new location of each moved VoIP device.
If you are unable to update your E911 location designations via the TelNet Portal, please Download the 911 Update form (http://
telnetww.com/infosource/911updateform.xls), which is in Excel format and follow the directions on the form. You should only
use the Excel 911 Update Form if you are unable to make the change via the TelNet Portal. If you are not able to update your
registration by using either TelNet’s Portal or the 911 Update Form, you may call 1-800-508-1254 and provide the update
information.
C. Importance of Updating Location of VoIP devices
If you do not update the Registered Address, any 911 calls made from the device may be sent to the wrong emergency response
center and will not transmit your current location information to emergency responders, delaying emergency assistance to you.
Customers are solely responsible for ensuring that an accurate and up-to-date Registered Address is maintained for each VoIP
device.
Please note: It may take a few days for the address update to take effect.
D. Customer’s Obligation to Inform Users of Customer’s VoIP devices
In addition, it is Customer’s obligation to inform others at its premises who use Customer’s VoIP service of the above VoIP 911
limitations. By signing this Notice, Customer acknowledges and agrees to perform this obligation.

to place the stickers on or near Customer’s VoIP devices.
F. Obligation to Make any Needed Equipment Changes
You are also responsible for any equipment changes required to ensure compliance. (Example: You may need to have your
equipment vendor update your phone system’s outpulsed phone numbers to ensure proper identification of 911 calls.)
Section 3 – Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for ensuring that an accurate and up-to-date registered address is
maintained for each of customer’s voip devices. Customer acknowledges that it understands that telnet disclaims any and all liability for

or inability of customer or any customer employee, third person or party, or user of telnet’s service to be able to call 911 or to access
emergency service personnel. In no event shall telnet be liable to customer or any third party for incidental, indirect, consequential,
exemplary, punitive, or special damages related to customer’s (or any customer employee, agent, or contractor, or third person or third
party or user of telnet’s service) use of or inability to use e911 services.

MEMORANDUM
To: SMBA Board
From: Office Manager
Date: 2021-08-20
Re: Employee Performance Appraisals
Purpose
To inform the board of the employee performance appraisal process and determine the external stakeholders
as required by the Employee Appraisal Policy.
Current Policy
A copy of the adopted Employee Appraisal Policy is included for the board’s reference.
Overview
Employee performance is a metric used to calculate their annual salary adjustment as outlined in the Salary
Adjustment Policy. Because we need to have a budget presented to the board for the September board
meeting to have the board-approved requested budget before the township boards in October, it is necessary
to conduct the employee appraisals at the beginning of September to allow time for responses to be submitted
and factored into the requested budget.
For employees who report directly to the board of directors, the board must generate a list of three external
stakeholders to review each employee’s performance.
Request
A request is made for the board to generate a list of three external stakeholders to complete an appraisal of the
following employees: (1) Garrett Reitenour, Building Official; (2) Kyle Gibson, Office Manager.
