Muskego mayor urges lake safety, outlines agenda‑setting changes and Committee of the Whole schedule
Summary
At the June 10 Muskego Common Council meeting the mayor offered condolences over a lake accident, urged vigilance at lakes and recreation areas, and announced changes to how citizens can submit agenda items and that Committee of the Whole meetings will immediately follow regular council meetings.
The mayor of Muskego opened the June 10 Common Council meeting with remarks about a recent accident on Little Muskegon Lake and urged residents to be vigilant while using lakes and recreation areas. “My prayers go out to all involved,” the mayor said, and thanked emergency responders, Muskegon Police Department personnel and members of the public who assisted at the scene.
The mayor said the city is adjusting how items are added to council agendas. Residents who wish to have a matter considered should contact the mayor by email or phone; many items will be referred initially to a committee for review, and timing depends on staff availability and needed background research. “If you have a matter that you believe is appropriate for council discussion I ask that you reach out to me directly via email, phone or just tell me,” the mayor said.
The mayor also announced that the Committee of the Whole meetings will be scheduled immediately following regularly scheduled Common Council meetings so evenings are more streamlined. He previewed upcoming meeting topics through fall, saying June will include health-insurance items, July will include road infrastructure, and budget planning discussions will run from August through October.
The remarks were delivered at the start of the June 10 meeting as communications from the mayor’s office and did not include formal council action.
