The City will be holding the School's election on Tuesday, May 4, with polls open from 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the Knights of Columbus Hall.  On the ballot is election of one Petoskey School District Board member and a proposal for the renewal of its operating millage.  The Char-Em ISD also has a proposal on the ballot for renewal of its millage to continue a levy for vocational-technical education.

The Bear River Valley Recreation Area is nearing completion and will be ready for use in 2011.

The projected cost of this project is $2,403,000.00.
