Council proclaims Parks and Recreation Month, swears in deputy clerk and approves DDA movie night and several appointments
Summary
Council declared July 2026 Parks and Recreation Month, swore in Deputy City Clerk Todd Jordan, approved the DDA's 'Cinema in the Street' event for July 25, and confirmed multiple board appointments and reappointments.
Mayor Susan Moffitt read a proclamation declaring July 2026 as Parks and Recreation Month in Clawson and the Parks and Recreation director announced an open house for the park master plan on July 20 and a neighborhood block party at Parkland Park on July 14.
The council ceremonially swore in Todd Jordan as Deputy City Clerk; Jordan thanked colleagues and noted prior election‑inspector experience. The council also approved a DDA special‑event permit for 'Cinema in the Street' on July 25 with the Clawson Market running concurrently and described sponsorship and kid‑craft plans.
In a set of routine personnel actions the council approved appointments and reappointments: Brett Balasic to the compensation committee (term to 07/01/2031); Julie Martz, Tracy Irwin, and Richard Martz to the Clawson Historical Commission (terms to 07/01/2029); Caitlin Lacely to the Blair Memorial Library Board (term to 06/30/2031); and Ethan Smithson to the Board of Review for an unexpired term ending 12/31/2026. All appointments were approved by roll call.
Why it matters: the proclamation and events highlight recreation outreach and neighborhood programming; the appointments fill volunteer governance roles and the swearing‑in completes a personnel transition in the clerk’s office.
