Commission advances amendment to remove sunset from Mount Clemens social district
Summary
The commission approved first reading of an amendment to remove the sunset clause from the city's social district ordinance, aligning local law with recent state changes; second reading and adoption were scheduled for Dec. 19, 2022.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to introduce a first-reading amendment to ordinance 20.017 to remove the social-district sunset clause, matching a state-level change that eliminated the sunset. A motion set Dec. 19, 2022, as the date for second reading and adoption.
Commissioners discussed desire to make the social district more vibrant, expanding activities beyond current Friday-night programming; the mayor said the change merely mirrors the state decision and enables the city to continue the district without a scheduled sunset.
The first-reading motion passed on roll call with unanimous support. The commission asked staff and the Downtown Development Authority to consider programming that would increase activity in the social district. The second reading and possible adoption were set for Dec. 19, 2022.
