On April 18, 2024, the Forest Lake Authority Board (FLAB) held a public hearing to review a lake level special assessment roll and computation of costs. They also listened to public comments from property owners. The FLAB voted in favor of the roll and computation of costs.
At the public hearing, they also announced a grant received from the Natural Resouces Conservation Service which could lower property owners' assessments up to 40-60%.
The next step in the process is for the Arenac County Board of Commissioners to review the lake level special assessment roll and computation of costs. Similarly, the commissioners will vote on these items. This meeting was originally scheduled for April 23, 2024, but will now be held on May 14, 2024.
