Commission approves updated DDA bylaws to align with Public Act 57 of 2018
Summary
The commission approved updated Downtown Development Authority bylaws intended to modernize compliance with Public Act 57 of 2018 and strengthen accountability and transparency; staff said the board adopted the updates on Oct. 8, 2025.
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved updated bylaws for the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) that staff said were adopted by the DDA board on Oct. 8, 2025 and update local practice to align with Public Act 57 of 2018.
City staff explained the revisions are intended to modernize compliance, strengthen accountability and transparency, and adopt best practices used by other Michigan DDAs. During discussion, a commissioner asked whether the term 'chief executive officer' in the bylaws refers to the city manager or the mayor; staff answered that the chief executive officer is the mayor as stated in the record.
The commission moved and approved the bylaws and authorized the city clerk to sign them. The meeting record does not include the complete text of the bylaws; staff noted the DDA followed past practice by bringing the updates before the commission for approval.
