During a recent government meeting, city officials discussed several key items, including the financial health of the water and sewage budget following a recent rate increase. The city manager confirmed that the budget remains in good shape, allowing for continued operations without financial strain.

The council also approved the 2024-2025 material and recovery license for Wayne Car and Truck Parts, located at 34939 Brush Street, with unanimous support from council members.

A significant topic of discussion was the resolution regarding the management of radioactive waste scheduled to arrive in Wayne County. This resolution aligns with a similar measure recently passed by the Conference of Western Wayne and surrounding communities. Councilman Cleerman moved to approve the resolution, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in advocating for stricter regulations against the importation of toxic and radioactive waste. He highlighted a recent meeting attended by various stakeholders, including representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA, where the need for legislative action was strongly emphasized. Residents were urged to contact their state representatives to support measures aimed at curbing the influx of hazardous materials into the area.

The meeting concluded with a call for community engagement in addressing these pressing environmental concerns.
