Performance Dashboard
In adopting its budget for the fiscal year that began October 1, 2011, the State of Michigan eliminated satutory revenue sharing and replaced a porition of the funds formerly received by the City with a new program. This new program, the Economic Vitality Incentive Program, establishes certain criteria that the City must meet in order to qualify to receive a portion of its State funding.
One element of the Economic Vitality Incentive Program is a requirement that the City publish a performance dashboard. Just as the dashboard in your car provides information about a few indicators of its performance, the City's dashboard provides a quick look at a few measures that will tell citizens how well the City is performing in certain areas.
The City of Frankfort's performance dashboard can be found here.

Young Frankfort Philanthropist Spearheads
Park Equipment Acquisition
Helen Erginkara, a 4th grade student at Frankfort Elementary and daughter of Serkan and Jeri Erginkara of Frankfort started early on her own philanthropy endeavor in a fundraising effort to provide funding for a new children’s playground area at Mineral Springs Park . Her efforts along with her community spirit have generated over $2,000.00 to be utilized towards the acquisition of the new playground structure.
Years of use and weather necessitated the removal of the original playground equipment last year. A budget of $50,000.00 has been established to purchase the new equipment. The theme of this new children’s area will be nautical with a play structure resembling a schooner that will serve as a tribute to the vast maritime heritage of the Frankfort community. Illustrations of the proposed park equipment can be seen at City Hall or by clicking here (Illustration 1, Illustration 2, Illustration 3).
Through the efforts of Helen, donations have been received from the Trinity Lutheran Church , Frankfort Congregational Church, memorial contributions from family and friends of Pat and Vicki Haugen and a generous grant from the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. Additional funds are necessary before the new equipment can be ordered.
To date, the City of Frankfort has received over $14,000.00 with hopes of procuring additional grant funds through the efforts of the Friendly Frankfort Rotary Club. If the grant funds are awarded to the Friendly Frankfort Rotary Club we will be half way to our goal of $50,000.00.
Additional tax-deductible donations may be made to: City of Frankfort , P.O. Box 351 , Frankfort , MI 49635 with “Playground Equipment” in the memo line.
