Summary
The concluding BITA report described a 30-year agreement under which the Beaver Island Boat Company operated the M/V Emerald Isle for the authority. For fiscal 2001, the report listed $25,000 for executive-director expenses and $384,665 for marine capital work, plus a $40,000 MDOT grant for an independent second-ferry needs study. Proposed 2002 work included an emergency ramp, a service truck, a transportation building, parking improvements, a forklift, reservation-system work, and vessel parts.
