Resident urges pressure on Wayne–Westland to return two Inkster properties; community announcements shared
Summary
During public participation at the Nov. 17 Inkster City Council meeting a speaker urged residents to pressure Wayne–Westland School District to deed back two properties once owned by Inkster Public Schools, said Inkster would reimburse maintenance costs, and listed board members to contact; other attendees announced community events and meetings.
A public speaker urged Inkster residents at the Nov. 17 city council meeting to press the Wayne–Westland School District to return two properties that were assigned to the district after Inkster Public Schools dissolved.
“Wayne Westland schools, when Inkster Public Schools were dissolved, they were given two pieces of property,” the speaker said, urging residents to contact school board members and attend the district meeting to press the issue. The speaker named board members they had contacted — including Melanie Hines and Kimberly May — and said the city would offer to repay whatever maintenance costs Wayne–Westland had spent over the past eight years, rather than leaving the district out of pocket.
The speaker also said they had recently seen a “for sale” sign on one of the parcels and warned residents about what they described as a possible sale occurring without adequate community notice. The transcript does not include any response from Wayne–Westland school officials during the council meeting.
Other public comments that evening included Yvonne Moore thanking volunteers and participants in an "All Cancer Matters" walk and offering certificates and event shirts for $10, and Dr. Phyllis Long announcing that the support group “A Journey with Lupus” will meet Nov. 22 from 12:00–3:00 p.m. at the Leanna Hicks Public Library, 2500 Hamlin Drive, Inkster. The city clerk also reported that results from the Nov. 4 Wayne–Westland bond special election matched the totals transmitted to the county.
The comments on the school-district property were a public appeal; the transcript records the request and the speaker’s planned community actions but does not record any formal city directive to pursue the land transfer or any response from Wayne–Westland officials.
