Mount Pleasant — At its May 27 meeting the Mount Pleasant City Commission took several discrete votes after public hearings and consent agenda actions. Key outcomes:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) — water‑related infrastructure: The commission approved a resolution to submit an application for the CDBG water‑related infrastructure program to replace sludge drying beds and a biosolids holding tank at the Water Resource Recovery Facility. If awarded, the requested grant would cover $2,500,000 and the city would provide a $275,000 match. The motion passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
Hayes MP LLC — six‑month extension request: The commission approved a six‑month extension allowing Hayes MP LLC more time to secure a state operating license and come into compliance to operate an adult‑use recreational marijuana retail establishment at 914 E. Pickard St. The item was moved from the consent agenda for separate consideration; commissioners divided in discussion but the extension passed by voice vote.
Emergency services van purchase and budget amendment: The commission authorized a purchase of a replacement emergency services van (2024 Chevrolet Express) and upfitting not to exceed $80,640. A portion of the purchase — $58,000 — will come from a 2% grant from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan; the commission approved the purchase and a subsequent budget amendment. The motion passed.
Votes and notes: The CDBG resolution and the van purchase were recorded by roll call or voice vote as required by the meeting for budget and contract matters; the Hayes MP LLC extension was decided by a voice vote. No ordinance adoptions occurred as part of these items.
