Livonia council passes consent agenda and routine approvals, including liquor license and several contracts
Summary
The council adopted its consent agenda and approved multiple routine items — Cooper’s Hawk liquor waivers, Zach’s Auto Wash site plan, wage updates, a $371,000 payment to DeAngelo Brothers, a four-month Consumers Energy license for $12,000, and an appointment to parliamentarian — most by unanimous 5–0 votes.
In a series of mostly noncontroversial votes, the Livonia City Council approved its consent agenda and a string of routine items by voice or roll-call votes, typically unanimous.
Key results: the consent agenda (items 1–12, excluding item 2) carried 5–0; the Cooper’s Hawk waiver for an on-premises Class C license and a waiver of the 1,000-foot separation requirement were approved 5–0; Zach’s Auto Wash site plan at 36001 Plymouth Road was approved with updated streetscape and landscaping; the city approved pegging library and student page wages to state minimum — from $10.33 to $10.56 on Jan. 1 and scheduled to rise to $12.48 on Feb. 21, 2025; the council authorized payment of approximately $371,000 to DeAngelo Brothers for transmission-main valve work; the council approved a four-month license to Consumers Energy for $12,000 with up to three one-month extensions; and the council amended a resolution to appoint Councilmember Rob Donovic as parliamentarian. All items noted in this list recorded votes of 5–0 at this meeting.
Councilmembers repeatedly noted these approvals reflected prior study meetings or administrative follow-up and described several as routine or previously vetted by committees or staff.
