Ottawa County approves museum MOU as board reviews $65,000 funding request
Summary
The Board approved a memorandum of understanding with the Ottawa County Museum and heard the museum's request for a $65,000 appropriation for 2027; museum leadership said the organization is transitioning to a 501(c)(3).
Leland Davis, president of the Ottawa County Museum Board, presented the museum’s 2027 appropriation request and noted the organization is transitioning to nonprofit status. "They are requesting funding in the amount of $65,00000; this would be $9,200.00 less than 2025. The museum is going to a 501c3," Davis said during his presentation.
After the presentation, the Board voted 3-0 to approve a memorandum of understanding with the museum. Commissioner Carla Grund moved to approve the MOU, Commissioner Duane Morris seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The record does not show additional budget direction; Commissioner Grund said she will continue reviewing appropriations as part of the county’s broader budget discussions.
