Summary

The July 11 St. James Township minutes covered the campground pavilion, Coast Guard boathouse, property assessing, Fire Hall cement work, sheriff and DNR coverage, and a drainage culvert.

Evidence limits

These are newspaper minutes, not complete municipal, title, assessment, construction, or public-safety records.

Sources

  1. Reports discussion and a motion to demolish the deteriorated Township Park pavilion, a $75,000 asking price for the Coast Guard boathouse, a decision not to rehire the county equalization department, Fire Hall cement plans and bids, questions about sheriff coverage and a DNR presence, and a culvert responsibility inquiry. It is a newspaper minutes report, not a demolition permit, title file, assessment contract, construction bid, or public-safety agreement. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
