Sources

  1. Reports Yacht Dock funding and off-season care, airport snow operations, a proposed harbor-bottomland sale and filled dock, private-hangar agreement questions, zoning revision, frozen Township Hall heating damage, fire-station completion, playground equipment, and a January 7 decision to authorize the heating-system replacement and refer dock concerns to the DNR. It is a newspaper account of minutes, not a title, permit, engineering, construction, or insurance record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
