At the regular session, the Mount Clemens City Commission approved a package of routine and policy items.
Agenda and minutes: The commission adopted the agenda as amended (typo correction noted) and approved minutes from the 04/08/2019 work session and regular session.
Concession agreement: The commission authorized a concession agreement with Simple Adventures LLC to allow paddle-sports rentals on city premises from May 1 through Dec. 31, 2019 and authorized the mayor and clerk to execute the agreement.
Fees and liens: The commission adopted a resolution setting fees for water and sewage lien exemptions consistent with Michigan statutory guidance (MCL 123.165) and referenced an amendment to the city water ordinance (25.116). Staff explained the procedure by which an owner can file an affidavit that the tenant is responsible for charges so no lien accrues against real estate; the proposed fee schedule was approved.
Charitable-gaming resolutions: The commission adopted local governing-body resolutions recognizing the Mount Clemens Rotary Foundation and the Wirtz Warriors (Special Olympics of Michigan) as nonprofit organizations as part of state charitable-gaming license applications.
Purchases, payments and consent agenda: Commissioners moved to approve presented purchases and invoices. The consent agenda motion passed on roll call, 4–3 (the chair announced "Motion passes 4 to 3"). Specific roll-call yes/no responses were recorded during the meeting.
Why it matters: The packet advanced a mix of small-business concessions, nonprofit recognition and utility-fee rules that affect city operations and community services. The consent-agenda vote was recorded as a 4–3 split, indicating some commissioner dissent on elements bundled into consent.
Next steps: Several items (notably the rental-ordinance amendment) will return for additional hearings; the concession agreement begins May 1 and staff will proceed with implementing adopted resolutions.
