Mount Clemens commission approves routine administrative items, awards sewer contract

The Mount Clemens City Commission used its June 19 meeting to approve a number of routine administrative measures and to award a construction contract tied to a local sewer-separation project.

Key actions approved by roll call included: - Approval of regular City Commission meeting dates for the 2023–2024 fiscal year. - Adoption of special assessment roll 23-2 for delinquent utility bills and roll 23-3 for delinquent general bills (staff presented amounts for each roll in the record). - Authorization to approve purchases and payment of invoices; the list included the awarding of a construction contract for the Woodside Circle sewer separation project (relevant to earlier public comments about sewage backups on Riverside Drive). - Approval of a stop-loss insurance renewal with Sun Life (staff explained the city’s participation in a group captive and described both individual and aggregate stop-loss coverage; transcript numbers regarding attachment points are inconsistent in the record and should be confirmed with staff for reporting on precise financial exposure). - Adoption of a resolution establishing a $300 application fee for naming parks, recreation facilities, city-owned buildings and streets (signage costs noted as additional).

All listed items were approved by roll call. Several commissioners also used the commissioner-comments period to praise departing and promoted fire department members and to respond publicly to a local news article regarding city management.

Where the transcript contained truncated or inconsistent numeric figures (for example a project total for the SPARK grant item and some insurance attachment figures), the record indicates the commission discussed the items but the precise totals should be confirmed with city staff or meeting minutes for publication.
