Council Approves $2.1M Water Main Project, Sewer and Sidewalk Extensions, and Rate Hikes
The City Council approved the 2026-2027 water main project, awarding construction to Bidgely Construction for approximately $2.1 million, which came in substantially below the engineer's estimate. This project includes extending a water main segment on Beaconsfield to connect to a major distribution main and replacing a small segment at Patterson Park. The council also approved extensions for the CCTV of city sewers with Advanced Underground Solutions for up to $200,000 annually and the sidewalk program extension with Luigi Verdandi and Son for an unspecified amount. Additionally, water rates will increase by 5.1% and sewer rates by 4.45% for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, aligning with increases from the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA).
City Council Endorses Wayne County Transit Millage for August Ballot
The City Council unanimously approved the Wayne County Transit Millage proposal for the August ballot, encouraging residents to vote 'yes'. This renewal millage aims to fund improvements to regional transit, including services for seniors and individuals with disabilities, and address underinvestment in the current system. The proposal is presented as crucial for maintaining current transit access for the Point communities and enhancing regional connectivity to jobs, healthcare, and education, thereby supporting property values and attracting future residents.
City Council Approves Over $15 Million FY26-27 Budget, Little League Funding Amendment Approved
The City Council approved the FY2026-2027 budget, totaling over $15 million, following a public hearing and budget workshop. The budget includes a projected surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, which is intended to be allocated to pension liabilities. Additionally, the council approved budget amendments, including a $5,000 expenditure for the Gross Point Park Little League, with the source of funds to be determined.
City Approves BSNA Cloud Upgrade, Exchanging President's Day for Juneteenth Holiday
The City Council approved the BSNA cloud upgrade proposal for financial management software, with an amended cost not to exceed $100,000. This upgrade will move the city's financial systems, including general ledger, payroll, and utility billing, from an on-site system dating back to 2009 to a cloud-based platform. The upgrade is intended to improve efficiency for city staff, potentially streamline resident interactions through redesigned forms, and proactively address the obsolescence of the current system. The council also adopted a resolution to exchange the President's Day holiday for Juneteenth, effective in 2026.
City Adopts Five-Year Parks and Recreation Plan and Approves Shoreline Restoration Agreements
The City Council approved a five-year Parks and Recreation Plan, developed with input from OM and community engagement. The plan identifies over $6 million in needed projects, with a refined capital cost of approximately $3 million for the next five years, and an additional $2 million for the boardwalk over a six to ten year period. The plan aims to prioritize projects, address maintenance backlogs, and ensure the park system remains high-amenity. The council also approved the Patterson Shoreline Agreements with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Detroit River Western Lake Erie Cooperative Weed Management Area to restore approximately 30 acres of wetland shoreline at Patterson Park.
