Summary
In November 2010, St. James and Peaine townships approved an intergovernmental agreement for operating the municipal airport. The reported agreement created a seven-member Airport Commission, which selected officers, adopted rules of procedure, and began organizing the airport’s next phase of work.
Evidence limits
This combines a first-party meeting notice with a newspaper account of township action and the commission’s first meeting. It is not the signed agreement, a complete appointment record, or proof that the ten-year construction program had been funded or completed.

- A public post raised objections to the airport project and government grants; replies argued that the referenced Airport Improvement funds were dedicated user-fee revenues, cited a roughly $300,000 grant and under-$6,000 local match, and emphasized emergency-evacuation needs. These are participant arguments and quoted figures, not a substitute for the agreement, grant documents, or official minutes.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 02 · t002980
