LEELANAU HISTORY
LEELANAU HISTORY
The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners appeared to overcome a case of “sticker shock” Tuesday and decided to move ahead on two projects that could cost taxpayers nearly $5 million over the next year. The price for a new roof on the county’s Law Enforcement Center (LEC) has been set at $1.2 million – about 30% higher than originally anticipated. *** Leelanau Township Clerk Deborah Van Pelt has submitted her resignation. Supervisor Doug Scripps said Van Pelt submitted a letter of resignation at the township board’s regular meeting Tuesday, adding Van Pelt would like the resignation to take effect at the end of the month. Scripps said the board Tuesday didn’t vote on whether to accept the letter of resignation, adding it plans to do so at the board’s regular meeting in June. 05/15/2024 05:44 PM
