The Roseville City Council met on February 10, 2026, beginning at 6:30 p.m. and returning to open session at 8:13 p.m. after closed sessions. All members were present. The meeting included a firefighter badging ceremony, two police vehicle outfitting awards, appointments to city boards, a FOIA appeal decision, and reports from city staff.

Consent Calendar

• The Council unanimously approved the meeting agenda.
• Councilman Shoemaker noted that the consent agenda approved the Downtown Development Authority's request to host Jamming at the Junction on July 18, 2026.

Public Comments & Testimony

• No public comments were made during either the first public hearing (agenda items only) or the second public hearing (any city business).

Presentations

• Fire Department badging ceremony for Brandon Urban. Urban started basic EMT training at age 19 in fall 2022, worked for Med Star for six months, and completed a 32-week paramedic program. He was sworn in as a Roseville firefighter/paramedic and thanked the Council and community. Mayor Taylor welcomed him to the city.

Police Vehicle Outfitting Awards

• Police Chief requested approval of bids for outfitting Ford Explorer patrol vehicles. Although the agenda described the Canfield request as a single-source vendor, Chief clarified that two bids were received and the city was splitting the work: one vehicle to Synergy Products for faster delivery and three vehicles to Canfield Equipment Services, Inc. The cost difference was $4,431.68, and the Canfield portion was $19,921.81. The work was expected to take two to six months. Funding would come from federal forfeiture funds, not the general fund.
• The Council approved the Canfield award for three vehicles and a separate award to Synergy Products for one vehicle, both unanimously.

Closed Sessions

• The Council approved three closed-door sessions under MCL 15.2681H, each by a 7-0 roll-call vote, to discuss attorney-client privileged information on: the FOIA appeal, an employment status update, and a proposed modification to the police chief's employment agreement.

FOIA Appeal

• Frank Caicos (name as transcribed) appealed the city's good-faith fee estimate for a broad FOIA request. He did not appear and submitted written materials asking for a written decision. After reconvening at 8:13 p.m., City Attorney Thomason recommended denial. The Council voted unanimously to deny the appeal, allowing the city's fee estimate to stand.

An industry tour of the completed library with $15 tickets was planned to raise funds for nonprofit design projects.
• Police Chief Berlin reported a resident's compliment for Sergeant Jeff Wozniak, who voluntarily finished shoveling snow for an elderly woman.
