Berrien County will renew its contract with the current concession vendor at Silver Beach as she plans to make improvements to her operation. Speaking at Thursday’s Berrien County Board of Commissioners meeting, Chair Mac Elliott said Anne Reitz was seeking a two-year extension.

“This vendor has received an A-plus from everyone connected with the county parks system, and she is investing upwards of $30,000 of her own money to add some services and retail offerings,” Elliott said.

Commissioner Ezra Scott had no objections to the vendor, but felt the contract should have been put out for bids. The commission approved the two-year contract extension so the concessions vendor could proceed with her improvements knowing they’ll likely pay off. Scott was the lone commissioner to vote no.
