reported that the RTA has not yet initiated a substitute plan. He further reported that the SMART millage is up for renewal and he is unsure about how the voters will differentiate between the November proposal and
the importance of the SMART renewal; he noted that the County supports the SMART renewal. He continued by summarizing the reasoning behind the I-75 expansion. Mr. Gibb added that the project is on
schedule and the County is in full support. In regard to the McLaren Hospital Certificate of Need, Mr. Gibb does not see a resolution in the near future. He added that although the Governor may eliminate the

Supervisor Kittle understands that McLaren is prepared to move forward if the Certificate of Need is
eliminated.
Trustee Schroeder asked about the Township’s participation with the County’s One-Stop-Ready program. Mr. Gibb responded that the Township is doing great and he is not aware of any issues.
