Michigan City Port Authority Commission August 17, 2026

The Michigan City Port Authority Commission held a meeting on August 17, 2026, where they discussed ongoing capital improvement projects, including work on the north end of the Lighthouse Pier by Great Lakes Supply and Cal Great Lakes Stock and Materials, expected to complete by the end of September. The board reviewed and approved bills totaling $122,564.45, covering storm water compliance services from Butler Fairman Seaffort, legal fees, security, and dumpster services. A significant discussion focused on a potential agreement with the local sailing school, which proposed making grant-funded improvements to the pavilion in exchange for continued use of the facility. The board agreed to invite the sailing school to the next meeting to discuss and possibly formalize this arrangement. Additionally, the board considered forming a committee to evaluate repair or replacement options for a non-functioning clock at the marina, with repair estimates ranging from $15,000 to $30,000. No votes were taken on the pavilion agreement during this meeting, but plans were made to address it in the September session.
