The council unanimously approved routine appointments and consent items, received the FY2025 audit from Plante Moran, and adopted a 12-month moratorium on data center applications.

Councilmembers indicated private-property towing is generally outside city control and offered to discuss it with her after the meeting. - Eric Paul: Asked about survey work on Colts and possible activity at the Moose property; planning staff said no application had come before the city. - Resident opposing ICE agreement: One speaker asked the council to rebuke the 287G/ICE agreement, saying ICE values are not Taylor values, and referenced civil-rights and detention concerns. Discussion Items - FY2025 Audit (7.1): Bill Bricky and Nate Sherub of Plante Moran PLLC presented the June 30, 2025 financial audit. The city received an unmodified audit opinion and reported zero findings and zero questioned costs. The city spent just over $5.2 million in federal funds, including $4.7 million of American Rescue Plan Act funds tested for compliance. General Fund revenue increased about $4 million; property tax revenue was approximately $13.3 million, up 6.15 percent. Unassigned General Fund balance was $20.6 million, about 39.8% of current-year expenditures, or roughly 145 days. Total legacy costs (pension and retiree health care) were $230.45 million, with OPEB 5% funded, Police/Fire 71% funded, General Employees 61% funded, and MERS 60% funded. The city invested $16.6 million in infrastructure and fixed assets, paid down $3.2 million of long-term debt, and issued no new governmental-fund debt. A councilmember asked whether the fund balance was healthy; the auditors said it was above average but built partly on one-time revenues. - Starchase pursuit-reduction technology (7.3): Police officials described the vehicle-mounted GPS dart system as an alternative to high-speed chases. In 2025 the city had over 70 deployments and 50 positive apprehensions. The council authorized the 3-year renewal and additional units. - Water Department walk-in van (7.5): The Water Department head explained the Freightliner MT55/Utilimaster van replaces a 2009 tap van, serves as the city's only main-break vehicle, and will support lead-line replacement.

The transcript stated the 2027 amount as $43,500, conflicting with the agenda's $43,050. - Data center moratorium (7.10): Councilmember Gerald Thomas read the resolution into the record. Supporters said the 12-month pause would let the city review zoning and avoid litigation over data centers that meet current rules. Resident Tim Pashki opposed it, arguing it deprives property owners of rights and tells data center developers they are not welcome without a case-by-case hearing. Corporation Counsel Ed Plato said the moratorium prevents the city from being sued for refusing projects it cannot lawfully reject under current rules. The moratorium passed unanimously. Other Business & Announcements - Councilmembers announced upcoming community events: Fish & Loaves Music Bingo (Feb. 11 at Knights of Columbus in Allen Park), MDOT I-94 meeting (Feb. 11 at City Hall), Night to Shine (Feb. 13, volunteers needed), Daddy Daughter Dance (Feb. 21 at Heritage Hall, $35/couple, $12/additional child), and The Wall That Heals (Aug. 13-16 at Heritage Park).

Discussion Items - The Mayor and Corporation Counsel explained that state law now allows overseas absentee ballots to be counted up to six days after the election, so Wayne County will not certify the November 4, 2025 election by next Monday as the city charter contemplates.

The status of the scheduled November 18 meeting was described as uncertain. - Outgoing council members gave farewell remarks. Councilwoman Witten praised Clerk Bauer, congratulated newly elected officials, and said voters had held city officials accountable for inaction. She listed unfinished issues including firework-stand enforcement, short-term rentals, rezoning vacant parcels, expanding the donation policy to include sponsorships, filling the council vacancy, and towing vendor complaints, including a constituent receiving an $8,000 cleanup bill. Councilwoman Brandana defended council decisions, said she had nominated six people for the vacancy, and said absences should not be judged without knowing the reasons. Chairman Geis recognized family support, noted nearly 40 years of combined family public service, and said the next council should maintain a healthy fund balance while continuing work on lead service lines. - During discussion of the Southland Mall bus stop resolution, Councilwoman Witten said she supported accessibility but lacked data on the mall's reasoning and preferred to request discussions among the parties. Corporation Counsel confirmed the resolution would only be suggestive and suggested that a temporary restraining order could give more time. The motion was not amended.

The DPW director responded that he would follow up on the animal shelter door issue and obtain pricing for an ADA retrofit. Discussion Items - HVAC Equipment at Police Department and City Hall (Item 7.3): The council discussed a motion to approve Monroe Plumbing and Heating’s low qualified bid of $2,249,200 plus a 5% contingency ($2,361,660 total) for new HVAC equipment. Councilman Johnson asked about the scope (chiller replacement, supplemental unit for council chambers, boiler replacement at PD).

The new equipment is expected to enhance the customer experience and pay for itself quickly. The old equipment will be sold. Motion carried unanimously. - Election and Charter Compliance (Open Business): Clerk Bower announced early voting details (starting October 25) and noted that state law (military ballot acceptance up to six days post-election) conflicts with the city charter's requirement to swear in new council the Monday after the election. She stated she cannot certify the election in time, so the current council will likely serve until November 18 or later. She also raised concerns that the official newspaper (News Herald) may not be complying with state law by placing minutes behind a paywall and not posting on a statewide website, suggesting the next council review the designation. Councilman Geis noted he has requested a legal opinion from Corporation Counsel. - Speed Humps (Open Business): Councilman Johnson raised resident complaints about speeding and mini-bikes and asked about installing speed humps (not bumps).

She stated three council members blocked progress by not attending meetings and not providing feedback on the RFQ. She made a motion to approve Telwick Towing, but after discussion about lack of contractual rates and qualifications, she withdrew the motion. A public comment from Renee Stallions reinforced the criticism. - Animal Shelter Grand Opening (Open Business): Councilman Geis reported a successful grand opening of the new animal shelter, praising the facility's design and the positive impact on animals. Councilman Johnson noted that a recent animal dumping case led to citations and all animals were adopted. - Taylor High School Property (Open Business): Councilman Johnson criticized conditions at Taylor High School (non-ADA sidewalk, rusted fencing, portable still present) and suggested the city issue ordinance violations if the school district does not maintain the property. - Sidewalk Heights on Monroe (Open Business): Councilwoman Daniels asked about varying curb heights on recently replaced sidewalks. The DPW director explained that the curbs are ADA-required ramps, and heights vary due to the grade of adjacent yards. - Council Chamber Plaques (Open Business): Councilman Geis updated that plaques honoring past council members are being produced for under $2,000, with names being compiled from historical records. Key Outcomes - All voting items (7.1 through 7.8, 7.10) passed unanimously (7-0). - Item 7.9 (council vacancy) had no nominations and no action. - The towing motion was withdrawn; no new contract was approved. The issue remains unresolved for the current council. - The administration will follow up on ADA accessibility at the animal shelter and provide an overall IT cost breakdown. - The next council will need to address the newspaper designation and the swearing-in date conflict. - The meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m.
