Escanaba City Council Meeting (March 21, 2024): Marinas and Astronomical Society

This was an interesting meeting that ranged from saving lives to how many pickleball courts. (Trust me! We take our recreation seriously! Come and visit our park and you will see for yourself why it's so beautiful. Throw a penny in the fountain and make a wish. I heard they come true. Try for yourself.) There are some tidbits of knowledge in the meeting such as appropriate conflict management and marketing through recreation that have led to increased interest in the Marin

Why go to Europe this year when you can take a much shorter and cost effective trip to Escanaba? 🤔

Notes and Scribbles: 03/21/2024 City Counsel Meeting

You may want to read the detailed agenda (This place is very transparent with information. Information is readily available to citizens.)


-Saving a Life: Good job officers!


-New Planet Walk by Delta County Astronomical Society. The only one in a nation to be of scale in the country.


-Generator. There are some projected possible rolling blackouts next year so having the ability to maintain power for first responders is important. 

-Stormwater improvements. 

-A pretty intense discussion on pickleball and courts. Recreation is helpful to the area and it looks like they need more money to accomplish some of the recreation goals.  Pickleball discussion turns heated at council meeting

-Managing surface water. Grant funded.

-Committee vacancies are declining and people are getting involved in building their community.

-Marina hires new people, Marina Fest with bands, and a Great Lakes Sailing club coming with 60 boats. This summer should be fun!

-One-way streets and historic districts discussion.
