Pontiac City Council honors Quest All Star Athletics and Tanisha Stevens achievements

During the Pontiac City Council meeting on March 11, 2025, council members addressed several key issues impacting the community, including the approval of a resolution celebrating local achievements and discussions on public safety concerns.

One of the most notable actions taken was the unanimous approval of a resolution honoring Quest All Star Athletics, a local cheer and dance organization founded by Pontiac native Tanisha Stevens. The resolution recognizes the team's impressive accomplishments, including their rise to national and international competition levels, and celebrates their 16th season. The council emphasized the importance of community support for local youth programs and encouraged residents to participate in upcoming events celebrating these achievements.

In addition to the celebration of Quest All Star Athletics, the council discussed ongoing issues with excessive streetlight outages, particularly in District 4. Councilwoman James proposed adding this topic to the agenda, highlighting the need for improved public safety and infrastructure in the community. The council agreed to address this concern, indicating a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Pontiac residents.

The meeting also included procedural updates, such as the approval of the consent agenda, which featured various resolutions, including a special meeting scheduled for March 18 to discuss city matters further. The council's proactive approach to addressing community needs and recognizing local achievements reflects their ongoing dedication to fostering a vibrant and supportive environment for all residents.

As the council continues to engage with community issues, residents are encouraged to stay informed and participate in upcoming events, including the mother-son dance scheduled for March 30, which aims to strengthen community ties and promote family involvement in local activities.
