Inkster council approves consultant contract, $4,000 lot purchase and new K-9 unit
Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Inkster City Council approved renewal of a political consulting contract, authorized purchase of a vacant parcel for $4,000, and adopted a request by the police department to establish a K-9 unit. All three measures passed by voice vote.
The Inkster City Council approved three routine actions at its Jan. 21 meeting: a renewal of its contract with political consultants Governmental Consulting Services, Inc. (GCSI); the purchase of a vacant parcel identified as case LD25-01 for $4,000; and a resolution to establish a K-9 unit within the Inkster Police Department.
Council considered the GCSI contract renewal as part of new business. The clerk introduced the item as "Consider approval for the renewal of the contract for our political consultants, GCSI, Governmental Consulting Services Inc." The council moved, seconded and approved the renewal by voice vote.
Council then voted to purchase a vacant parcel (case LD25-01) located on the north side of Andover between Meadowdale and Beach Daley Street for $4,000; Wayne County public records for the parcel were referenced during the item. The motion was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.
Finally, the council adopted a request from the Inkster Police Department to establish a K-9 unit. The item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
All three items were decided by voice votes; the meeting record shows "aye" and "passes" for each motion but does not list a roll-call tally of individual member votes in the transcript.
Next steps: The transcript does not specify contract start or end dates, the specific funding source for the parcel purchase, or operational details (training, funding, or deployment) for the proposed K-9 unit. Those details were not disclosed during the meeting and are not specified in the minutes attached to the transcript.
