Wayne council adopts water cross-connection ordinance, approves budget and contract actions
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Wayne City Council adopted Ordinance 2026-03 to align local cross-connection water rules with state law and approved a series of routine financial and intergovernmental measures, including a budget amendment, a cemetery plot buyback, and contract amendments with Great Lakes Water Authority and Wayne County parks millage funding.
The Wayne City Council on June 2 adopted Ordinance 2026-03 to amend Chapter 1040 (Water and Sewers), updating section 1040.27 on cross-connection rules so the city code is consistent with state law. Councilmember Corals moved the ordinance’s second reading and adoption; the motion carried on a voice vote.
In the same meeting council approved Budget Amendment FY2026-2 and a cemetery plot buyback for Section Q, Lot 59 (graves 3 and 4) totaling $150 to be paid from the city properties budget. Council also approved Amendment No. 2 and a restated water service contract with the Great Lakes Water Authority and approved Amendment No. 1 to an intergovernmental agreement with Wayne County to use combined FY2025–FY2026 parks millage funds for improvements at JC Park. Motions were moved and supported as noted in the meeting record and carried by voice vote.
Officials described the ordinance as an administrative update to ensure local cross-connection rules mirror state requirements; no substantive policy debate on the ordinance was recorded. The contract action with Great Lakes Water Authority and the Wayne County parks millage agreement were presented as routine items with no substantive amendments during council deliberations.
Votes and procedural notes: the transcript records motions, supporters, and that each item "carried" on voice vote. The transcript does not provide an explicit roll-call tally for these agenda items in the public record provided; the minutes record the motions as approved.
What happens next: Ordinance 2026-03 was adopted at second reading and is effective per the city clerk’s scheduling; the administration will implement the contract amendments and the budget changes as approved by council.
Authorities and formal actions referenced in this article appear in the meeting record under ordinance and agenda item listings. The council also entered a closed session later in the meeting to consult with counsel under state statute (see separate article).
