Commission approves DEI training contract; routine agenda items, minutes and property purchase also approved
Summary
The commission approved a contract with The Leadership Group LLC for citywide DEI training (customized onsite sessions and a draft policy) and recorded roll-call approval of routine items including agenda adoption, minutes from Sept. 18, 2023, the 213 Court Street purchase; the meeting then adjourned.
The Mount Clemens City Commission authorized a DEI training agreement and completed routine business, including approving minutes and a property purchase.
City Administration presented a recommended contract with The Leadership Group LLC (a Michigan-based, woman- and minority-owned consulting firm) after an RFP process that yielded four bids. Mr. Shipman said the firm will survey staff, tailor onsite training for administration and the commission, provide a project summary with recommendations and draft a DEI/equal-opportunity policy. Commissioners asked how the training would relate to the city’s DEI policy; administration said the vendor will draft the policy as part of the engagement.
Votes at a glance: - Agenda adoption: Motion to adopt the agenda as presented; roll-call approval recorded (all named commissioners voted yes). - Minutes: Motion to approve city commission minutes for Sept. 18, 2023; roll-call approval recorded (all named commissioners voted yes). - 213 Court Street purchase (agenda item 9A): Motion authorized purchase from the county treasurer’s foreclosure list for approximately $928,181; city attorney to review title; Habitat for Humanity to assess rehab potential (approved by roll call). - DEI contract (agenda item 9B): Motion to approve agreement with The Leadership Group LLC to provide DEI training and draft a policy; roll-call approval recorded.
Why it matters: The DEI contract commits staff time and consultant services to training and policy drafting; the property purchase and other routine approvals move administrative items forward.
Next step: Administration will proceed with vendor engagement for DEI work and follow up on the property purchase after title review.
