Board hires John Turner PLC for limited property-legal review
Summary
The board authorized limited engagement of John Turner PLC for property matters tied to district projects, calling the move an 'insurance policy' to confirm legal assumptions during bond planning.
The Boyne City board authorized the district to engage John Turner PLC of Patoxie, Michigan, for limited legal services related to property matters. Staff characterized the engagement as a low-cost step to verify legal assumptions in the bond process.
"This is just an insurance policy," the chair said during the motion to engage counsel. The motion passed by voice vote. Staff said the limited review will focus on property issues that could affect the capital plan and will not substitute for full contract work if subsequent construction or property transactions require broader representation.
Next steps: limited counsel engagement to proceed; board will be updated if further legal work is required.
