The council also voted to meet in closed session to discuss the pending case Redmond v. Roseville.

Budget amendment
City finance staff presented the first budget amendment for fiscal 2024–25. Finance Director Mr. Walters told council the amendment increases both general fund revenue and expenditures by about $888,000, leaving the city’s projected surplus unchanged. \"Primarily the reason for the increase in revenue is interest income,\" Walters said, identifying roughly $600,000 of the increase as interest income and a $593,000 transfer to the retiree health care fund to cover higher health-care trends.

Walters also said the water fund received a roughly $6.6 million state grant for the 13 Mile pump station and that project bids came in under budget, prompting a downward adjustment of nearly $2.5 million for that project. Councilman Leticia moved to approve the 2024–25 budget adjustment; Councilwoman McCartney seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.

Contract renewal: Landscape Services Inc.
Council approved renewal of the existing weed-cutting and snow-removal contract with Landscape Services Inc. Staff told council the renewal continues an existing contract and that the negotiated price adjustments are lower than expected market rates if the city were to re-bid the work. Councilman Knox moved to approve the renewal subject to including language from the previous contract; Councilman Leticia seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.

Abatement resolution: Dodge Street address
Council approved a resolution authorizing abatement work for a property on Dodge Street; city staff asked for the council’s approval to move the abatement forward and coordinate with the building department. The transcript does not clearly identify the member who made the motion; a second was recorded as \"Councilman Wateja\" (as spoken). The motion carried by voice vote.

Closed-door session: Redmond v. Roseville
City attorney Mr. Tomlinson requested a closed-door session to discuss litigation and settlement strategy in Redmond v. Roseville and said Ms. Battersby, representing the city’s insurer, was present. Councilwoman McCartney moved for the closed-door session pursuant to MCL 15.2681(e) and Councilwoman Hagerty seconded. The clerk recorded a roll-call vote with six yes votes and the motion carried. The council recessed into closed session and returned to adjourn the meeting later.

Appointment: Board of Review
The council reappointed Janice Kerner to the Board of Review. The motion to reappoint was moved by Councilwoman Hagerty and supported by Councilwoman McCartney; the motion carried by voice vote.

Other routine actions
The council approved the consent agenda and closed the public hearing on the CDBG application period during the meeting without taking final allocation votes.

The CAC recommended fully funding every subrecipient request it received, city staff said, while reminding council that the city’s final allocation remains an estimate. \"I estimate conservatively. We have $25,000 either side of that $545,000 estimate,\" said Mr. Kamekia, the city staff member presenting the CAC recommendation. Council did not vote on final funding at the hearing; staff said action is scheduled for a later budget meeting.

The hearing drew three nonprofit presenters who described demand for services that rely on CDBG support. \"With the number of older adults in Macomb County rapidly increasing, the need for support and services for frail and aging adults continue to increase dramatically,\" said Sheila McCann, volunteer coordinator with Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers and a Roseville resident. McCann described IVC’s Safe at Home project, which provides chores, minor home repairs and routine housekeeping for low- and moderate-income seniors and adults with disabilities. She told council IVC completed 30 tasks in Roseville in the first six months of the 2024–25 funding year and requested additional funds to double that work in 2025–26.

Christina Drozem, finance director for Maggie’s Wigs for Kids in Michigan and a Roseville resident, asked the council to consider $1,200 in CDBG support to sponsor a wig for a child in the city. Krista Carpenter, director of Hearts 4 Homes, said the nonprofit has helped 14 Roseville households over the past two years and described the organization’s work on security deposits and eviction prevention for low-income and homeless families.

Council and staff discussed statutory program caps and administrative limits. Mr. Kamekia said the CDBG program limits public-service subrecipient allocations to 15 percent of the city’s award and caps administrative expenses at 20 percent. He told council that the total subrecipient requests the CAC recommended to fund amounted to $51,940 against the 15 percent cap of $81,750 under the current estimate.

Speakers also addressed uncertainty around federal funding. \"The CDBG program is federal funding...the pause essentially would touch the entire program,\" Mr. Kamekia said, adding he would continue planning as though funds were available. City attorney Mr. Tomlinson cautioned that a court injunction had affected the federal pause and advised subrecipients not to rely on grant awards until federal guidance is finalized: \"There has been a pause on the pause...we really don't know where the money is coming from. I would just caution these organizations not to rely upon it at this point.\"

No CDBG allocations were approved at the Jan. 28 meeting. City staff said they will bring the CAC recommendation back for council action at a future budget meeting (staff identified April 22 as the meeting at which final approval is expected).","Roseville City Council held a public hearing Jan. 28 to close the application period for the fiscal 2025–26 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and to receive recommendations from the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC).","actionData","errors"]
