Chair reads a motion moved by Commissioner McCarthy and seconded by Commissioner Bridal proposing the city mayor be given authority to assign dais seating now and in the future, with assignments announced at least 24 hours before meetings and any commissioner allowed to appeal a seat assignment to the full commission by majority vote; mayor retains tie-breaking power. The motion also calls for the rule to be added to the rules and procedures manual and materials provided before the 12/15/2025 meeting.

Speakers:

The Lapeer City Commission voted to give the mayor temporary authority to assign dais seating (with a 24-hour notice and a commissioner appeal to the full commission) after heated debate over whether the mayor could unilaterally direct staff. The meeting also produced a 3-2 censure of Commissioner Stephen Brady and several board reappointments, and ended with calls for training and clearer procedures.
