Commission renews one-year $20,000 contribution to Greater Munising Bay Partnership
Summary
The commission approved a one-year $20,000 contribution and contract with the Greater Munising Bay Partnership to begin July 1, 2026, after a discussion about the DDA’s role and economic-development coordination.
The Munising City Commission voted to renew a one-year, $20,000 financial contribution to the Greater Munising Bay Partnership, with the contract scheduled to begin July 1, 2026.
Commissioners and representatives discussed how the DDA, township contributions, and partnership activities align. The DDA representative explained the organization’s fiscal structure and noted the $100,000 DDA allocation that helps fund partnership activities; township contributions vary, and some townships do not contribute. Commissioners asked about whether county contributions are appropriate and about board representation tied to financial contributions.
A motion to renew the contribution was made and supported; the clerk recorded the motion as moved by Commissioner Pistorius and supported by Commissioner Wilkinson. The motion passed on a voice vote. Commissioners noted they will review the contract language and return the document for final review before execution.
Separately, the commission approved an interlocal early-voting agreement to route early voting through the county’s consolidated location, with the county providing trained staff. That agreement also passed on a voice vote.
