In a recent city council meeting, Mayor McClellan and council members convened to discuss various agenda items, including routine approvals and an exciting new community event. The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call confirming a quorum.

The council swiftly approved the agenda and moved on to the consent agenda, which included the approval of city council meeting minutes, traffic safety board minutes, and several financial transactions totaling over $109,000. Notably, the council approved payments related to infrastructure projects, including the West Nine Mile Road design and the 2024 Catch Basin Line replacement project.

A highlight of the meeting was the request for a special event license from the Oak Park Corridor Improvement Authority for the inaugural \"Oak Park Cruise and Groove.\" Scheduled for August 15 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM in the Eleven Mile Water Tower Social District, the event aims to coincide with the popular Woodward Dream Cruise. Michelle Bishop, manager of the Corridor Improvement Authority, expressed enthusiasm for the event, emphasizing its potential to enhance community engagement.

The council unanimously approved the special event license, marking a significant step towards fostering local festivities and community spirit.
