Commission confirms special assessment roll number 24-03 for downtown maintenance
Summary
After a second public hearing with no speakers on the assessment topic, the commission confirmed special assessment roll number 24-03 for the downtown maintenance program; commissioners clarified that the assessment is calculated on frontage and that property-by-property breakdowns were provided.
The Mount Clemens City Commission opened a second public hearing on a proposed special assessment for a downtown maintenance program and later voted to confirm special assessment roll number 24-03.
City staff said the first public hearing on the assessment occurred on Sept. 3, 2024, and the purpose of the earlier hearing was to address the necessity of the project. At the Sept. 16 meeting, staff again invited public comment on downtown maintenance but no members of the public addressed that specific hearing item. The commission moved to close the public hearing and then to confirm the assessment roll.
Commissioners asked how the assessment is calculated, and staff responded that it is calculated on frontage and that owners are charged for frontage even if a building is presently vacant. A commissioner thanked staff for providing a property-by-property breakdown.
The roll call on the confirmation recorded affirmative responses from members present. The assessment was confirmed as roll number 24-03; the clerk's recorded roll-call results in the official minutes should be consulted for the certified tally and property-level notices.
What happens next: property owners on the confirmed assessment roll will receive notices as required by city procedures; staff said the property-by-property breakdown is available for review.
