Emergency Watershed Protection agreement tabled pending outreach to affected townships
Summary
An Emergency Watershed Protection Program agreement that includes a grant with a local match and co-sponsor requirement was tabled until the administrator consults Schoolcraft Township and the Village of Lake Linden and any other potential beneficiaries.
The board tabled discussion of an Emergency Watershed Protection Program agreement after Emergency Director Chris VanArsdale summarized damage findings and grant-match requirements.
Chairman Tom Tikkanen said he hoped the county would support Schoolcraft Township and the Village of Lake Linden; Administrator Benjamin Larson was directed to contact those local governments and any other potential beneficiaries before the board takes further action. The motion to table carried on a voice vote.
The meeting record did not include the grant amount, the required match percentage, or a timeline for the next report to the board; those details will be determined in follow-up discussions with the affected townships and village.
