Often in our District report, we like to boast about all of the great things we’ve accomplished and all the big plans we have on the horizon! Of course, that’s true again this fourth quarter, but of the many things we’ve learned the past few years, it’s that sometimes we just need to stop and take a minute to appreciate the small things.
So this fourth quarter report celebrates a fall of simple routine, normalcy, and being together. We showed appreciation for the weather warm-up from October through November that kept the sun shining and spirits high. October brought about the usual fourth quarter projects, first participating in the MMCA 7F Training Seminar, attending the annual Ohio Mosquito and Vector Control Association meeting, and the usual end-of-year reporting and regulatory wrap-up projects. As Planning Chair for the upcoming MMCA Annual Conference, Bay County staff have performed as quite the team, staying busy the past few months coordinating details to make our first in-person meeting in THREE YEARS a success. It will be such a welcome sight to see our industry friends and colleagues in person! Hoping you all have found peace in the normalcy and routine this winter, and take time to re-group, re-motivate, and re-energize for 2023. Rebecca Brandt, Manager |
Midland County is preparing for a busy season. Major initiatives include the following:
I am pleased to announce that as part of the drone operations, the Field Supervisors were revised with this responsibility and the positions were made year-round with no more seasonal layoff. So as of January, Jessica and Leigha are with us with no interruption! This will be a major leap forward in productivity and preparation for the upcoming seasons. The big approaching event is a face-to-face MMCA conference! It will be great to see each other, even without the aid of Zoom filters! Wishing you all success in your professional - and personal for that matter - pursuits in 2023! Carl Doud, Director |

Thank you to all of our employees, industry vendors, and fellow MC professionals for doing their part to protect the public from mosquitoes. We are looking forward to a successful 2023 season.

Happy New Year! Currently at TCMA we are preparing for the upcoming 2023 season. Much needed new uniforms have arrived for our field technicians and foremans. The stockroom continues to grow with supplies as well. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new mosquito truck and will soon be purchasing a new ULV Grizzly unit. The process of hiring new technicians for the upcoming season has begun with more applicants applying this year due to a wage increase approved by the Board of Commissioners.
Dennis Haley will begin training with Shyann Green (Biologist) in early March as our new lab technician and will be filling in for Shyann as she and her husband, Mike, prepare to welcome a new daughter, Avery Grace Green. All of us here at TCMA are very happy for Mike and Shyann and can’t wait to meet little Avery. Looking forward to seeing all of you in person at the MMCA conference in Lansing. Enjoy the rest of your off-season! Larry Zapfe, Director |
