The St. Clair Shores City Council meeting on April 21, 2025, featured significant discussions, including a proclamation honoring the Harper Chiropractic Center for its 40 years of service to the community and an update from a state representative on recent legislative changes.

The meeting commenced with the council members confirming a quorum and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The first major item on the agenda was a proclamation recognizing the Harper Chiropractic Center, founded by Dr. Kenneth Hamilton in 1985. The proclamation highlighted the center's commitment to community health and wellness, emphasizing its role in providing chiropractic care for families. Dr. Hamilton, along with his daughter Sarah, expressed gratitude for the support from the St. Clair Shores community and reflected on their long-standing ties to the area.

Following the proclamation, State Representative Maison addressed the council, providing an update on legislative developments from Lansing.
