Livonia resident raises driveway damage claim; public commenter posts social‑media and eviction concerns
Summary
During audience communication at the Dec. 2 Livonia council meeting a resident said a city tree damaged his driveway and that the city’s risk manager denied his claim; a later commenter described social‑media findings and announced an eviction hearing Dec. 11.
During the public comment portion of the Dec. 2 meeting a resident of 8955 Lemont Street described damage to his driveway that he attributes to a city-owned tree. He said he reported the matter in 2022, city crews cut the tree, and his subsequent claims form was denied by the city’s risk manager. The resident said he had obtained a survey and is willing to pay for additional verification; city staff said they would follow up through the mayor’s office and the city’s insurance carrier (MMRMA).
The resident asked the council to help resolve the discrepancy between his understanding that the tree was a city tree and the risk management reply denying the claim. The chair asked the resident to follow up with the city’s office manager and said staff would attempt to get more information.
Later in the audience-communication period a commenter identifying himself as Glenn Moon described browsing a set of Facebook pages and said he had delivered a 'scorecard' to council; he told the meeting he has an eviction hearing scheduled Dec. 11 at 11 a.m. in courtroom 1 and invited listeners to attend. His remarks were presented as personal information and claims and were recorded in the public-comment segment.
Council responded to the driveway claim by asking staff to follow up and to coordinate with the mayor’s office and risk management; no formal council vote or policy change resulted from the public comments.
