~SURVEY FOR ARPA FUNDS: Open through August 26, 2022

Benzie County has launched an online survey with the goal of gathering public input from the community on how American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding should be utilized. Benzie County will receive $3.45 million in funding. The Board of Commissioners is committed to a community-engaged process and will consider community input as they make final decisions about how to best use this one-time funding.

Please note: When completing your survey, please rank the items from highest priority to lowest priority with 1 being the highest priority to you.

~The survey can be found by CLICKING HERE. 
Those without online access are welcome to call Benzie County Administration for a paper copy of the survey at 231-882-0035.

~VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Elections, Board of Review, Cemetery, and Budget & Financial Review

• Want to become an election worker?  We need you!  Click here to check out state guidelines and contact the township clerk, Sue Sullivan, for more information. At this time, in the interest of balance, those volunteers affiliated with the Republican Party are especially needed.  Compensation is provided.  
• Board of Review is the citizen's review board that sits 3 times a year to hear protests to constituents' tax property assessments, plus grants exemptions (such as veterans or poverty) and corrects errors in records.  Go to our "BOR" webpage for more information.  An alternate is needed. Compensation is provided.
• If you're interested in the historical aspects of our two cemeteries, we are looking for someone to work on an historical compendium documenting some of the more interesting gravesites.  We are also looking for a committee member who has family in East Cemetery and would like to be involved with the business end of running a cemetery.  See Supervisor Ferris.
• This "sub" committee is a new idea and never been formed before.  Pending approval of the board, it will serve as another layer to our government's system of checks-as-balances.  Details as to the scope of the work will be forthcoming.  See Supervisor Ferris.​​
