Mount Clemens adopts 2022–23 budget package, sets tax rates and CIP

The Mount Clemens City Commission approved the 2022–23 annual budget and passed a series of related resolutions covering tax rates, tax administration fees and penalties, financial policies, fund‑balance commitments and a capital improvement plan.

During the public hearing portion of the meeting, members of the public were invited to comment on the published budget; no budget‑specific amendments were made at the hearing. The commission then moved and adopted Resolution 1 (annual budget/general appropriations) followed by Resolution 2 (set tax rates) and Resolution 3 (set tax administration fee, interest and penalties). Commissioners discussed timing and specific line items but made no changes on the floor. Resolutions 4 (financial policies), 5 (commitment of fund balance) and 6 (capital improvement plan) were presented and each approved by roll call.

The roll calls show one or more 'no' votes on different resolutions but a majority carried each measure. The budget vote record in the transcript shows at least one recorded 'no' from a commissioner on some items; the final tally for the overall package was approval and placement into effect per municipal procedure.

The adopted capital improvement plan identifies prioritized projects for the coming fiscal year; the city manager noted progress on several downtown redevelopment projects and infrastructure items during his report to the commission.

Next steps: implementation and any required public notices for tax rates and related fee changes will be handled by the city manager's office and the finance department.
