During public comment, resident Brett Moyer spoke on behalf of the EOCC and non-resident Ashley StClair spoke on behalf of the ARC organization. The minutes record no substantive details of those remarks beyond the speakers’ representation of those organizations.
Council and staff reports included several brief updates and community notices. Councilmember Kofflin shared 2024 mobility-planning updates from the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study, congratulated Milan High School on its production of “Alice in Wonderland” and encouraged support for the Detroit Lions, prompting a matching “Go Blue!” from Councilmember Baldwin. Councilmember Wayne thanked the EOCC for a 3% increase and praised local high school athletic teams; Councilmember Nie commended the Beautification Commission and holiday events; Pro-Tem Kerkes and others exchanged holiday wishes. Mayor Kolar said his earlier objection to the EOCC increase had not been intended to block it and invited residents to the Milan Chamber Christmas parade.
The council set its next regular meeting for Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023 (agenda deadline Nov. 29, 2023) and adjourned at 7:13 p.m.
