Summary

BITA’s 2001 annual-report feature described the authority as a St. James Township public body established to pursue state and federal support for ferry transportation. It summarized the authority’s incorporation, five-director rotational board, annual organizational meeting, audit and reporting duties, and powers to contract, manage property, and appoint an executive director.

Evidence limits

This is a newspaper summary of BITA’s governing documents, not the articles of incorporation, complete bylaws, audit, management agreement, or an independent account of operations.
