Farmington Hills City Council approved its consent agenda, postponed a Freedom of Information Act appeal at the appellant's request and appointed members to an Activity Center ad hoc advisory committee during its regular meeting.
Mayor pro tem Boulware read the consent agenda, which included the Farmington Public Schools–Farmington Hills Police Department school liaison officer cooperative agreement (CMR32628), a backup server purchase from People Driven Technology Inc. for $104,475 (CMR32629), and an employment request for a police cadet under the city charter (CMR32630), as well as minutes from the February 23, 2026 study session and regular session.
