Summary

The February 17, 1997 Peaine Township report covers county metal road signs, the Fire Department budget and possible fire-barn site, matching funds for the JFG Beach Fund, a Beaver Island hangar-lease transfer, and the Community House project. Marilyn Buckner told the board that the old Dockside Market would be dismantled, with salvageable material retained and demolition debris sent to Waste Management of Northern Michigan.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper minutes report, not the complete township record, lease, budget, deed, insurance file, or Community House construction record.
