Commissioners discussed whether to advance a proposal to explore use of artificial intelligence to prepare meeting minutes. Commissioner Host argued AI-drafted minutes can be more comprehensive if reviewed by a human, while other commissioners and staff noted minutes are legal records governed by Robert's Rules and the Open Meetings Act and cautioned that current AI outputs require careful human verification. A motion to move the item to stage 3 (more extensive discussion) failed for lack of a second.

Immediately after the minutes discussion the commission voted to meet in closed session under MCL 15.268(8)(e) to discuss pending litigation: City of Birmingham v. Community House Association, case no. 2025219218CZ, pending in Oakland County Circuit Court. The roll call to enter closed session was approved. When the commission returned at 9:38 p.m., staff reported the city had filed pleadings, including a lis pendens recorded with the county recorder, intended to halt a proposed sale of the Community House; the city said it intends to use available legal means to try to preserve the property as a community asset.
