 At the 6/05 BOC meeting during the report from the GT County Road Commission, they announced a Special meeting for the public to attend on Thursday 6/13 from 6-10 PM.  To save you time, the report starts at time stamp 3:05.  Big thank you to Linda Pepper for alerting me to this meeting.  It's not easy to find the GTCRC calendar.   BOC General Meeting 6/05/24 The 2022 audit was finished July 2023.  We've not yet seen the 2023 Audit.   GTCRC 2022 Audit GTCRC 2023 Budget GTCRC Snowfall Data       Actual & Budgeted costs are based on a 12 month calendar year, snowfall amounts are reported per season.  We are trending below average for the past 4 years.   So, over these past years we've seen a lot of growth, which means increased tax revenue for the GTCRC and less snowfall which means lower costs.  What have they spent the savings on?  When will the 2023 audit be finished?  How much did they spend ...

 Here's the link to the published article.  Below is the full text of the interview. traverseticker.com/news/guide-to-the-2024-grand-traverse-county-commission-candidates-part-1-districts-1-4 Hello Beth, Biography:   I’m Linda Maginity, running for BOC District #1, which includes all of Green Lake Township and precincts 1 & 4 in Blair Township.

Welcome to the beginning of open communications!

 I've been considering running for public office for a couple of years.  Taking into account the availability of my time, since I am a solopreneur and don't plan on closing my business any time soon, I had to look for opportunities to serve part-time.  The township clerk or treasurer positions are full-time. I had first considered the school board, but only leadership positions were up for reelection this cycle.  Then I saw that the our county commissioner ran unopposed last election.  I looked into the responsibilities and time commitment necessary and find this to be a good fit for me. Just what does the county commissioners decide and how does it affect us in District #1?  That was my question. After living here for 40+ years I can honestly tell you that I do not know how any of their decisions affected myself and my neighbors.  So, it's my goal to find out by becoming YOUR commissioner and sharing those insights here.   I want to meet wit...
