The Lapeer City Commission on Nov. 3 approved a slate of routine motions and administrative items, including a $1,393,181.56 bill listing and a resolution revoking an industrial facilities exemption.
Commissioner Brady moved to approve the bill listing for Nov. 3, 2025 in the amount of $1,393,181.56; Commissioner Swindell seconded. A roll call recorded Commissioners Allen, Brady, Petrie and Swindell voting yes and the chair declared the motion carried.
Commissioner Petrie introduced Resolution No. 2025‑15 to revoke Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate No. 2014‑145 effective immediately for Testing Services Group LLC, located at 751 McCormick Drive. The commission adopted the resolution by voice vote. City Manager Womack later noted the packet included minor typographical corrections to that document.
The commission also approved a motion by Commissioner Swindell directing the city administrator to submit a letter of intent to reapply for Round 3 of the Michigan Neighborhood Community Development Block Grant program with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority for the Lula Magna Opera House project; the motion carried.
An on‑premises liquor license for Acadia, listed as owned by Chris and Christina Hare and located at 55 West Neffesen Street, was approved after a short recusal inquiry. Commissioner Whitworth noted the applicants were personal friends and asked whether to abstain; other commissioners said a financial interest would determine whether abstention was required, and the motion carried.
The commission approved a change of signatories for the Choice Win Sports official bank account, adopted an amendment to Chapter 7 (Zoning Ordinance, Article 7.02) of the city code, and authorized a triple‑net lease between the City of Lapeer and Clover Group (Anon, Inc.) for the property at 3496 Davidson Road, with authority for the city manager to sign the agreement on behalf of the city. Those motions were moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
Actions taken at the meeting were procedural and administrative in nature; no contested deliberations or sustained public objections were recorded on the items before the commission.
