Planning commission closes special meeting after consultant briefings; no public speakers

The Eastpointe City Planning Commission closed its special meeting after receiving consultant briefings on stakeholder workshop findings and a small-business ecosystem overview. The hearing of the public had a single allotted slot (three minutes) and no one signed up to speak.

Commissioner Sasek moved to close the meeting; Commissioner Moody seconded. The secretary called the roll and the motion passed unanimously (Sasek: yes; Moody: yes; Linsky/Zelensky: yes; Chairman DeHaan: yes). The commission took a five-minute break and then reconvened.

Several commissioners asked consultants and staff to provide meeting dates in advance to improve attendance and to coordinate presentations with the full commission when possible; consultants agreed to work with the commission on scheduling.

No formal policy decisions or program adoptions were made at the meeting; consultants said additional analysis and the open survey period would inform subsequent recommendations to be considered in later meetings.
