Residents raise homelessness and longtime road‑repair concerns during public comment
Summary
Public commenters thanked local responders, raised concerns about homelessness near St. Peter's Catholic Church, and urged repair of Euclid and Jones streets; city staff and commissioners said they would pass along details and investigate.
Multiple residents used the meeting's public‑comment periods to praise emergency responders and raise local concerns about homelessness and road conditions.
Robert Asul Jr., a long‑time meeting attendee, praised the Mount Clemens fire department after his son (a volunteer physician at a nearby school) treated an injured player at a playoff game. "They were professional," Asul said, and described members of the department as comforting and effective.
At the second public‑comment period, Kevin Cataly told commissioners he has been concerned about "the presence of homeless people" and said St. Peter's Catholic Church recently locked a door because of disruptive incidents. Cataly said the incidents began within the prior two weeks and asked the city to follow up; staff and commissioners said they would pass along specifics for follow up.
Earlier in the meeting Jimmy Dixon asked when the city would repair Euclid and Jones streets, saying "the roads are real bad" after 50 or 60 years without major work. Commissioners acknowledged the concerns and said they would look into scheduling work and share details with Dixon.
City staff did not announce a specific timeline for road repairs or new enforcement actions during the meeting; commissioners encouraged residents to report concerns to city staff for follow up.
