Summary
At a Sept. 3 work session, the Oscoda Township Board voted to add a second round of public comment and heard representatives from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Recreation Grant Program discuss potential uses and grant options for Furtaw Field; a resident, Kelly Brown, spoke in public comment.
The Oscoda Township Board on Sept. 3, 2025, voted to add a second round of public comment and received a presentation from representatives of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Recreation Grant Program about potential uses for Furtaw Field.
Ms. Tregear called the work session to order at 6:30 p.m. at the Robert J. Parks Library. After roll call showed six members present and one absent, Mr. Wygant moved to add a second round of public comment following board discussion; Mr. Cummings supported the motion and the board approved it by a roll call vote recorded in the minutes as “all yeas.”
The board then heard from representatives of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Recreation Grant Program. The presenters outlined recreation grant opportunities and discussed possible outcomes and uses for Furtaw Field; the transcript records that the board discussed the property and grant-related options but does not provide detailed proposals or dollar amounts.
During the public-comment period that followed the presentation, Kelly Brown addressed the board with comments concerning Furtaw Field. The minutes do not transcribe Brown’s remarks verbatim; they note only that Brown commented regarding the property.
The work session concluded with a motion to adjourn made by Ms. Tregear; the meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. The minutes list the action items above but do not record further decisions about Furtaw Field or specific grant applications at this session.
Next steps: the minutes do not specify follow-up actions, staff assignments, or timelines for applying for grants; any future board direction or formal vote on Furtaw Field or grant applications was not recorded in these minutes.
