Mount Clemens commission approves appointments, FY2024 strategic plan and a property purchase; consent agenda and invoices passed
Summary
At the meeting the commission approved a resolution appointing authorized deferred-compensation agents, adopted the FY2024 strategic plan, approved purchases/payments and the consent agenda, and authorized a purchase agreement for 24960 Crocker Boulevard; vote results were by roll call as recorded.
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved several routine and policy items, including appointments for the city's deferred compensation plan, adoption of the FY2024 strategic plan, approval of purchases and payments (with staff noting some unbudgeted invoice increases), and a purchase agreement for 24960 Crocker Boulevard in Harrison Township.
Appointments: A resolution named Human Resources Director Kevin Donaldson and Finance Assistant Mary Ann Ross as the city's authorized signers for the Mission Square Retirement deferred compensation account; staff said Mission Square required new login credentials for the account. The resolution was moved, supported and adopted by roll call.
Strategic plan: Following two strategic planning sessions and staff presentation, the commission adopted the fiscal-year 2024 strategic plan as submitted. Commissioners complimented staff for building on prior work and completing the updated plan.
Purchases and consent agenda: The commission moved to approve purchases and payment of invoices as presented. During discussion a commissioner asked about an overall increase that staff described as roughly $58,000 (an actual line-item increase of about 15.8% versus the 5% that had been budgeted); staff said the discrepancy will be handled in a future budget amendment. The consent agenda was approved by roll call.
Property purchase: After a closed-session motion to consider the purchase or lease of real property, the commission moved to approve a purchase agreement for 24960 Crocker Boulevard in Harrison Township; the motion passed on roll call.

What's next: The city manager remains available to answer resident questions and staff will prepare the budget amendment addressing the invoice increases; documentation for the water-plant project is posted on the city website, according to staff.
