Commission approves first reading to repeal amusement device licensing board; schedules budget study sessions and approves purchases
Summary
The commission introduced an ordinance to repeal the Amusement Device Licensing Board (Ordinance 20.51) and set a second reading; it also scheduled three budget study sessions in April and approved purchases and invoices subject to city attorney review.
The Mount Clemens City Commission moved on several administrative and ordinance items, including a first-reading introduction to repeal the Amusement Device Licensing Board and scheduling of budget study sessions.
On agenda item 9b, a motion to introduce and give first reading to an ordinance repealing the provisions that established the Amusement Device Licensing Board (Ordinance 20.51) was moved, supported and set for second reading on Feb. 7, 2022. The roll-call vote recorded one dissent: Commissioner Mentzer voted No; the other commissioners present voted Yes.
Earlier in the meeting commissioners discussed tabling item 9b to allow a more detailed work session with the city attorney; commissioners debated timing and ultimately recorded a motion that included scheduling a work session (discussed for Feb. 7 at 5:00 p.m.) and a second-reading date. The transcript records both the earlier tabling discussion and later action to proceed with the ordinance introduction and first reading; the meeting record shows the introduction and first reading took place and a second-reading date was set.
On budget planning, City Manager Johnson asked that three budget study sessions be scheduled between April 13 and April 29. The commission voted to schedule three special study meetings at 6:00 p.m.; staff proposed April 20, April 25 and April 28 as candidate dates.
In procurement business, the commission moved to approve purchases and payment of invoices as presented and the city manager requested, and the commission approved, an amendment that final approval of documentation for Walker process equipment be subject to the city attorney's approval. The manager noted many water and sewer repairs are unplanned and can be costly.
The consent agenda was approved by roll call with one negative vote (Menser); the meeting adjourned after commissioners' reports and brief remarks about local events and volunteer service.
The ordinance repeal is at introduction/first-reading stage and has been scheduled for a second reading; it is not yet adopted as a final ordinance.
