Summary

The Beaver Island Joint Terrestrial Invasive Species Advisory Committee was created through matched Peaine and St. James Township actions in September 2024. Peaine’s adopted resolution describes an advisory body intended to guide and direct the Joint TIS Administrator on work plans and fiscal-year budgets, subject to Township Board approval.

Evidence and limits

The paired records establish approval of the intergovernmental arrangement, committee charter, and administrator job description; Peaine also adopted a resolution establishing the Committee. The Peaine resolution describes five voting seats—both township supervisors plus three at-large members—and calls for at least four meetings annually under the Open Meetings Act. Those are the resolution’s stated structure and intentions, not evidence of appointed members, meetings, adopted work plans, budgets, surveys, treatment, enforcement, or environmental outcomes.

The Committee is related to, but not shown by these records to be identical with, the earlier LTBB–St. James TIS service contract. Its September 2024 creation should not be used to infer LTBB membership, appointments, funding, or authority in the Committee.
