Mount Clemens commission approves resolution to decertify portion of Wellington Crescent after MDOT audit
Summary
At MDOT’s request, the commission approved a resolution decertifying a 1,152-foot portion of Wellington Crescent that staff say "no longer exists" on current mapping. Commissioners asked for clarification about the measurement before the roll call approval.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to adopt a resolution to decertify a portion of Wellington Crescent after a mapping audit requested by the Michigan Department of Transportation found the segment no longer exists as previously mapped. City staff told the commission the identified section had once extended to Harrington but no longer did, prompting MDOT to request an Act 51 street audit and a decertification resolution.
During discussion, a commissioner asked how long the street had been non-existent; staff replied it had been gone for "a long time." The resolution text presented in the meeting referenced a measurement of 1,152 feet for the section to be decertified; one commissioner asked whether the motion needed to specify a precise length, and staff said the resolution itself was the controlling document.
The commission moved to adopt the resolution and, after roll call, recorded affirmative votes. The action updates the city's Act 51 street inventory to reflect current conditions and align local records with MDOT's audit. The resolution was presented as a technical correction to the city map rather than a change to right-of-way use or maintenance responsibility beyond the recertification process.
City staff did not present any immediate budgetary consequences during the discussion. Questions about whether any payments or reimbursements were affected by the change were raised briefly; staff advised the motion and resolution language govern the decertification and cited the MDOT audit as the reason for the correction.
The resolution was adopted on the record by roll call.
