Hancock County Commission votes to terminate Kennedy Marina concession agreement
Summary
The Hancock County Commission voted Jan. 23 to terminate the Kennedy Marina concession agreement; termination takes effect 60 days from the date of the vote. Commissioners discussed whether payments received after termination would be remitted to the county.
The Hancock County Commission voted on Jan. 23 to terminate the county’s concession agreement for Kennedy Marina, with the termination becoming effective 60 days from the date of the vote.
The termination was approved by voice vote, recorded as 3–0. The agenda item described only the action and the agreement’s 60-day termination provision; the commission did not state a reason for terminating the concession in the meeting record.
The commission briefly discussed whether any payments received by the concessionaire after the vote would belong to the county. A commissioner asked whether post-vote payments would be owed to the county. Mr. Aracich, a county staff member, responded that “likely” such payments would be remitted to repay any balance, and later said, “because of those circumstances, I would say yes.”
No further details about the concessionaire, outstanding balances, or next steps for marina operations were included in the meeting record. The commission did not record a timeline for replacing services at the marina or identify an interim operator during the 60-day period.
The action was entered into the meeting record as approved; the county clerk’s office will hold the signed termination and any related documents.
The commission moved on to other agenda items after the vote, including discussion of internal budgeting and administrative reports.
