The Lapeer City Commission on Jan. 5 approved several routine items by roll‑call vote.

Bill listing: Commissioner Guzman moved to approve the bill listing for 01/05/2026 in the amount of $1,889,893.18; the motion was supported by Commissioner McCarthy and carried on roll call with commissioners recorded as voting yes (Brady, Glisman, McCarthy, Petri, Atwood).

Appointments: The commission reappointed Jeremy Howe as civil defense coordinator for a term expiring Jan. 1, 2027. The commission also reappointed Ramona Sanchez and Tia Allen Francis to the election commission (terms expiring Jan. 1, 2027) and appointed Timothy Mayer to the election commission (term expiring Jan. 1, 2027). Each appointment was moved and supported and carried by roll call.

These items were handled with limited debate; other agenda items generated longer public comment and procedural discussion later in the meeting.
