County authorizes $150,000 EGLE grant match for Rugg Pond dam removal

Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners · January 15, 2025

Summary

Kalkaska County authorized a $150,000 local match letter to support an EGLE grant for removal of the Rugg Pond dam, committing local grant-match support for the project.

The Kalkaska County Board on Jan. 15 authorized Chair Fisher to sign a grant-match letter for a $150,000 local match associated with an EGLE grant for the Rugg Pond Dam removal project (G/L 101-746-962.100).

The motion was made by Commissioner Jeff Sieting, supported by Commissioner Truman Bicum, and passed on roll call (6 yeas, 0 nays, 1 absent). The minutes record the fund line and authorize the chair to execute the match letter; they do not include further technical details about project schedule or contractor selection.

EGLE refers to Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; the board’s authorization signals local commitment to provide the identified matching funds as part of the dam removal project financing.

The action enables county staff to proceed with grant documentation; the minutes do not record a timeline for disbursement or additional county appropriations beyond the match letter authorization.
