Summary

On March 21, 2002, Peaine and St. James township planning commissions heard a Charlevoix County presentation on a geographic information system and approved resolutions to enter an agreement with the county. The reported system would combine parcel, zoning, land-use, infrastructure, emergency-service, and map layers for planning and intergovernmental coordination.

Evidence limits

The report documents the presentation and resolutions, not the completed GIS deployment, data accuracy, or later planning decisions.
