The council also rescinded a prior resolution on a stretcher purchase and voted to award a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) parking-lot rehabilitation contract to Hush Paving for a total not to exceed $675,758, including a 6% contingency.

Council gave the ordinance its third and final reading after the text was read into the record. Mayor Tobin introduced the item by reading the proposed change: \"Resolved that an ordinance to amend the codified ordinances of the city of Lincoln Park by amending chapter 14 44.05 b be given its third and final reading and be adopted.\" The ordinance alters chapter 14.44.05.b to set the appeals board's composition in line with Michigan law, specifying categories such as a building contractor, an architect or licensed professional engineer, two members of the public and an individual registered as a building official/plan reviewer or inspector under the Skilled Trades Regulation Act, among other provisions.

Why it matters: the ordinance clarifies who may serve on the dangerous-building and code appeals board and explicitly ties composition to Michigan statute language cited in the reading. That change also opened the door to appointing qualified individuals who live outside city limits where local qualified candidates were not available.

Votes and formal actions recorded at the meeting (roll calls as read aloud):
- Consent agenda (minutes 04/14/2025; accounts and claims; license renewals; schedule study and public hearing on FY2025-26 budget, etc.) — approved on voice/roll call (affirmative votes by Nichols; Dupre; Ross; Salcedo; Zohr; Baer; Mayor Tobin).
- Ordinance (third/final reading) amending chapter 14.44.05.b (dangerous-building/code appeals board) — adopted (votes recorded: Nichols: Yes; Ross: Yes; Salcedo: Yes; Zor/Zohr: Yes; Behr/Baer: Yes; Dupre: Yes; Mayor Tobin: Yes).
- Reappointments (examples read into record): Joni Fielder (Board of Review, term to 07/01/2028); Leslie Lynch Wilson (DDA, term to 04/01/2029); Robert Steele (DDA, 04/01/2029); Celicio Alvarado (EDC, 05/01/2031); and additional reappointments to historical commission, housing commission, library board, parks & recreation, planning commission — all approved on roll call.
- Appointments to boards/commissions: (examples read into record and approved) Mohammed Hadla (Dangerous Building & Code of Appeals Board; residence listed as Dearborn; term to 05/01/2028); Thomas Wallen (W yandotte, term to 05/01/2026); Ryan Zach (local business owner, term to 05/01/2027); Vincent Hanes (Board of Review, to fill unexpired term to 07/01/2027); Edwin Jeramillo (Housing Commission, term to 12/31/2026); Nicholas Alexander Bien (Zoning Board of Appeals, term to 05/01/2028). All appointments passed on roll call as read.
- Rescind resolution regarding purchase of a recertified Stryker Power Pro stretcher (transcript read as resolution \"20 25 0 9 9\") — motion to rescind carried on roll call.
- Award: 2024 CDBG parking-lot rehabilitation project — council awarded the project to Hush Paving, total not to exceed $675,758 (including 6% contingency) with funding/account number to be determined; approved on roll call.

The meeting record shows each of the above votes was taken by roll call with the council answering \"Yes\" as noted in the minutes reading. No opposing votes were recorded on the items summarized above in the portions of the transcript that were read aloud.

Provenance: ordinance adoption and statutory citations were read beginning at the transcript block starting 419.14; reappointments and appointments were read beginning at 519.225 and continuing through 779.92; the rescind resolution was read at 780.88; the CDBG award was presented and voted on in the segment beginning 819.865 and the vote concluded at 975.68.

Ending: The council completed the consent and voting items before moving into departmental reports and citizen communications later in the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4/28/2025 Council Meeting City of Lincoln Park","oneSentenceSummary","The Lincoln Park City Council on final reading adopted amendments to the city's dangerous-building and code appeals board to align membership with state statute and confirmed multiple board appointments; the council also rescinded a stretcher purchase resolution and awarded a CDBG parking-lot rehabilitation contract to Hush Paving for up to $675,758.","taxTitle","Lincoln Park, Wayne County, Michigan","taxId",55409,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6571721,"Lincoln Park parks and recreation lays out summer schedule: new playground, tree planting, Festival on Ice and new semi-pro hockey team",203,1655000,1858000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3141211-babb18abc7cdc7bf9c25cdb9bf11ef39&start=1655&end=1858","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3141211-babb18abc7cdc7bf9c25cdb9bf11ef39/thumbnail_1655000.jpg","/articles/6571721/Lincoln-Park/Wayne-County/Michigan/Lincoln-Park-parks-and-recreation-lays-out-summer-schedule-new-playground-tree-planting-Festival-on-Ice-and-new-semi-pro-hockey-team","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6571721-ef95c6746714c2c29161a3e712026546/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203844&Signature=ikWm7EFjw8EAB6~rYIEu-KHmHzrazqQaqXCizDoOyF9xbUWCNVpiYhG~S4OXvk~jX19Qx71dAkUzzKe-rJLfL-UGwIi-4AXxFmncfsfqstnFR84R-jEntH~J3ojdI39LNOkcbvOgfw-b5wHB5I-aKaYjAuAtPsGqmQ-4myGN0ZfWYKVrMOiWfIiKq8D1d6UmYNI-FRGsprNCQ0-CWs52FwlwH2iaXrLf15nQjw8f2PinNmlKU4v9nlSKl6kFpDnUWQLS5Y2BoChvRKHhUloEBay8e3d~~HRX6i7gPTbKasXG7VR5ag6dZkhTER7wWJoW9r5jfZY9W7MA68FD8Pf7mQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lincoln Park Parks and Recreation director updated the council on an active spring and summer schedule, announcing a mid-June installation of new playground equipment at Ford Park, a tree-planting event at Council Pointe Park on Saturday, May 31 organized with ReLeaf Michigan, and a series of park cleanups on May 31, June 1, July 12 and August 2.

The department also outlined events and programs: registration for spring and summer classes is open; a CPR/first-aid class and a beginner crocheting class will start in June; the 49th annual Festival on Ice (presented by Skate Company Skating Club) had shows Friday, Saturday and Sunday with times listed in the department report; the department is hosting an indoor garage sale June 13 (noon–8 p.m.) and June 14 (10 a.m.–6 p.m.) for residents without space to host their own garage sales, and a sports-equipment swap is scheduled for July 11–12. Ice rentals for the next season have started, and the Downriver Muskies (American Premier Hockey League) will be a new semi-pro team playing roughly 12–13 regular season games at the rink next season.

The director said staff are pursuing certifications and training (national conferences and ice-rink management certification) and that Parks & Rec will participate in a job fair and recruit part-time seasonal employees for restrooms, concessions and summer programs. The department also noted Lincoln Park Days will return with a family-fun area.

Why it matters: the events and park improvements affect families, volunteers and nearby businesses; the tree-planting and playground replacement add neighborhood amenities and involve nonprofit partners.

Ending: The department provided printed and online \"happenings\" materials and asked residents to consult those listings for tickets and registration details; staff will continue outreach for volunteers and seasonal hires.","Parks and Recreation reported a mid-June install date for new playground equipment at Ford Park, a ReLeaf Michigan tree-planting at Council Pointe Park on May 31, multiple park cleanups, a spring fling carnival, and the arrival next season of the Downriver Muskies semi-pro hockey team.

He also said the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) secured a $1,400,000 grant for seven new downtown streets; water and sewer projects are underway alongside the street work.

City Manager Lisa provided monthly code-enforcement and building-permit activity reports and distributed a pothole map and list of outstanding reported potholes. The manager said staff continue to evaluate repair options, including use of Permapatch products that have been applied selectively. In staff comments and later discussion the council and manager said larger patches have generally held up better; several smaller test patches have not lasted as well. The manager noted they have only applied Permapatch in a few selected locations and that more observation is needed before broader rollout because Permapatch is costlier than traditional methods.

Council and staff also discussed street-sweeper capability and loose gravel/debris left along curbs after some repair work and construction. Staff said in prior instances a contractor brought in additional sweepers to pick up large mud chunks, but routine city sweepers could be damaged by very large material. Council asked staff to explore options such as renting heavier-duty sweepers during peak construction cleanup.

Citizen communications included two public commenters who raised service and safety issues: resident Ed O'Brien said he reported an \"emergency\" pothole seven weeks earlier on Capitol Street (address given as 1506–1507 Capitol), saying no one had inspected it and he fears someone will be hurt; Debbie White reported yard-waste pickup had not occurred on her street as of 6:45 p.m., despite calling and emailing, and asked the city to follow up. The manager told both speakers she had called the yard-waste supervisor earlier in the day and would have crews address the outstanding collections.

Why it matters: the city's paving and patching choices determine short-term travel safety and recurring maintenance costs; residents flagged gaps in service and longer inspection/repair response times that the administration said it would follow up on.

Ending: Staff will continue to monitor Permapatch pilot locations, finalize broader resurfacing plans tied to bond and DDA funding, and follow up on specific resident complaints about the Capitol Street pothole and yard-waste pickups.","Mayor and city manager detailed upcoming street reconstruction funded through road bond and DDA grant; city manager and staff reported on pothole repairs, Permapatch testing and street-sweeper limitations. Two residents told the council of an unrepaired dangerous pothole and delayed yard-waste pickup.","actionData","errors"]
