Notice of Adoption of Enhanced Access to Public Records Policy & GIS Fee Schedule

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 17, 2026, the Alger County Board of Commissioners formally adopted a comprehensive Enhanced Access to Public Records Policy and updated Geographical Information System (GIS) Fee Schedule in accordance with Michigan Public Act 462 of 1996 (MCL 15.441 et seq.).
