Mount Clemens approves budget, places delinquent bills on tax roll and adopts gun-violence awareness resolution
Summary
At its June 1 meeting, the Mount Clemens City Commission approved the FY2025–26 budget, placed delinquent utility and general bills on the summer tax roll, adopted a resolution declaring the first Friday in June as National Gun Violence Awareness Day, approved routine purchases and the consent agenda, and voted to enter closed session on a real-property matter.
The Mount Clemens City Commission on June 1 approved several formal actions, including the city’s FY2025–26 budget and a resolution recognizing National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Commissioners voted to adopt the annual general appropriations act for fiscal year 2025–26 after administration said a work session and a public hearing had been held. According to the packet read into the record by City Manager Shipman, the work session occurred in May and a public hearing was published and held before final action.
The commission also approved placement of delinquent utility and general billings on the city’s summer tax roll. The packet lists Special Assessment Roll 25-02 for delinquent utility bills in the amount of $24,005.28; the transcript’s formatting garbled the total for delinquent general bills, so the record lists the utility amount as presented and the general-bill total as "not specified" in the minutes.
On a related administrative item, the commission approved purchases and payments as presented, including a recommendation in the packet to waive a competitive-bid requirement where specified.
The body unanimously moved to adopt a resolution declaring the first Friday in June as National Gun Violence Awareness Day and encouraged residents to participate in Wear Orange activities; advocates from Moms Demand Action attended and handed out materials, and commissioners announced upcoming gun-lock giveaway events.
By motion and roll call, the commission approved the consent agenda and later voted to recess and go into closed session to discuss the purchase of real property.
