$18,000 in repairs will be made to the boulevard at Jean Klock Park following a lengthy discussion by Benton Harbor City Commissioners Monday. The vote came after some debate about whether Harbor Shores should pay for the repaving under its lease agreement. City Manager Darwin Watson said Harbor Shores is only responsible for day to day maintenance, and not repairs.
“When it comes to the facilities at the park — the pavilion, the boardwalk, the observatory — those things, then we are responsible as the owners of the facility,” Watson said.
Mayor Pro Tem Duane Seats told us he still would like an attorney to review the matter.
“I think it’s very important and necessary that we have that review,” Seats told WSJM News.
Seats says he just doesn’t want the city to be paying for things it shouldn’t. He still voted with the rest of the commission. The repaving and resealing will be done this fall.
