The Mackinac County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved two Sault Tribe 2% funding applications during its Sept. 25 meeting: one to repair the chimney at the Engadine Museum and another to install or upgrade an elevator at the Straits Cultural Center.
Commissioner Austin Kimberling moved to approve both applications; Commissioner John Kling seconded the motion. The roll-call vote was YES: Kimberling, Kling, Patrick, Schroeder; Commissioner Judy St. Louis-Scott was absent.
Meeting minutes record the projects by name but do not include funding amounts or implementation timelines. The board did not discuss specific budgets for the projects on the public record during this meeting.
