Clarkston council authorizes study of paid parking expansion and public-safety millage
Summary
The City of the Village of Clarkston authorized staff to examine a possible expansion of paid parking and a potential public-safety millage or assessment, directing a detailed investigation by staff following a unanimous recorded motion on Jan. 26, 2026.
The City of the Village of Clarkston City Council voted Jan. 26 to authorize a detailed investigation of two Finance Committee recommendations: possible expansion of the city's paid parking system and a potential public-safety millage or assessment.
The motion, made by Councilmember Jones and supported by Councilmember Quisenberry, passed with all six members recorded as voting yes. The motion directs staff to prepare a detailed analysis of both options so council can consider potential costs, revenue implications and impacts on residents and downtown visitors. City Manager Jonathan Smith was listed among those present and is expected to coordinate the staff review.
The action does not itself change parking or tax policy; it directs staff to report back with findings. The minutes do not specify timelines or required deliverables for the study; council will need to set follow-up dates if it wishes to advance either recommendation to ordinance or ballot consideration.
