Committee requests 4‑week follow‑up on proposed anti‑speculation injunction
Summary
The committee asked the law department for a four‑week return to develop an injunction and resolution aimed at property speculation; the law department said it is working on the matter and the committee characterized the issue as urgent.
Detroit council members asked the law department to prepare an injunction and resolution addressing property speculation and to return with proposed language and implementation details in four weeks.
Graham Anderson of the Law Department told the committee the office is still working on how best to implement a “permanent injunction against realty” and requested more time. Anderson said, “This is obviously an issue that plagues not just District 1, but, Detroit in general.”
Committee members pressed for a prompt timeline. A member characterized the situation as urgent, saying the problem “is on fire” and asked for a four‑week bring‑back; the committee agreed and the request was recorded as adopted. The item originated from a memorandum submitted by Councilmember Angela Whitfield Calloway requesting an injunction and resolution on anti‑speculation legislation.
Next steps: the Law Department will return to the committee in approximately four weeks with recommended language and implementation options for the injunction and resolution.
