Michigan City Port Authority Commission September 28, 2026

The Michigan City Port Authority Board of Directors met on September 28, 2026. The board received a construction update on harbor work: reinforcing and filling voids behind sheet piling is underway, with grout and a new concrete cap planned next. A separate shipment of about 1,300 tons of stone on two barges was expected to arrive for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers outer-breakwater work. Winter boat storage and marina winterization were also discussed. No new construction contract award or procurement vote was reported.

Financially, members discussed a roughly $10,000 Shorland Marine repair related to a boat’s winterization issues. A $414,000 certificate of deposit had matured, and staff presented renewal options, including a 13-month PNC rate quoted at 4.17% with an annual return of 4.25%; a motion was made to place the funds with PNC, but the transcript does not capture a vote or its outcome. The board also discussed obtaining a repair estimate for clocks, then voted to table that matter. The meeting minutes from September 14 were moved for approval, though the recorded vote is unclear.
