Eastpointe City Council approves MATs agreement, introduces special‑events ordinance and signs off on multiple event permits
Summary
Council unanimously approved an agreement to participate in the Macomb County Automobile Theft Prevention Team and accept ATPA grant funds, introduced Ordinance No. 251251 (first reading) to amend special‑events rules, and approved multiple special‑event permits and bill payments totaling $20,892,877.06.
At its Oct. 7 meeting the Eastpointe City Council unanimously approved a participation agreement with the Macomb County Automobile Theft Prevention Team (MATs) and authorized the police chief to sign the ATPA grant agreement.
Council then introduced Ordinance No. 251251 to amend Chapter 6, Article 5 (Special Events) and scheduled a second reading and adoption for Oct. 21, 2025. The ordinance was given its first reading by motion and roll‑call vote.
The council approved several special‑event permit applications with standard contingencies, including the EPIC Health East Point Center ribbon cutting (Oct. 16), Urban Seed Harvest of Horrors (Oct. 25), Crafty Crab trunk‑or‑treat (Oct. 31), and a McLeod Hope Chiropractic tailgating event (Nov. 2). Approvals were contingent on items such as temporary food licenses if food is prepared on site, certificates of occupancy where required, tents meeting International Fire Code (2021) standards, and temporary use permits for bounce houses.
Council also moved to pay bills in the amount of $20,892,877.06; the payment was approved by unanimous roll call.
Motions on these items passed by roll call with all present councilmembers voting “yes.” The ordinance will return for a second reading; officials said event approvals were contingent on specified permitting and health‑department requirements.
