What is the difference between between Tri-Lakes Association and the Lake Improvement Board?

The Tri-Lakes Association is a volunteer entity which is funded by membership dues and fundraising efforts for the following purposes as outlined by our Bylaws:
-To create lines of communication regarding lake issues.
-To assist in preservation of the quality of the water of the lakes, their connecting waterways, wetlands and surrounding watershed and ecosystems.
-To promote all other matters of interest to the general welfare of the members and all property associated with Tri- Lakes and the improvement of the area involved.
-To represent its members at governmental or regulatory agencies in such a manner as to protect the environment.
-To promote education of property owners and other lake users about water safety and safe recreation on the lakes. To serve as a social organization for the lake members.
The Tri-Lakes Improvement Board was established in accordance with Michigan’s Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. Under provisions of the act, the Tri-Lakes Improvement Board includes a lakefront property owner, two representatives from Morton Township, a Mecosta County Commissioner, and the Mecosta County Drain Commissioner. This year is the first year of a five-year improvement program (2023 – 2027) on the Tri-Lakes.
With that said, we are excited to announce that our friends at the Tri-Lakes Improvement Board has their very own website! https://www.trilakesimprovementboard.org Be sure to check it out!

The next Tri-Lakes Association Board meeting will be held on April 12th at the Morton Township Library at 10am. Please contact Myle Turpen to for ZOOM details.
