Summary

BITA and the Beaver Island Boat Company approved a revised management-services agreement after negotiations that began more than five years earlier. The agreement addressed ferry operations, the Transportation Authority Building, dock licensing, and capital equipment used for public transportation.

Evidence limits

The July report documents organizational approval and public-review availability, not the complete agreement text or every implementation step.
