Commission approves consent agenda but holds High‑Tech invoice for review

The Mount Clemens City Commission approved the remainder of its consent agenda, confirmed appointments to boards and commissions, and approved purchase payments and invoices with one exception: a High‑Tech invoice for five ProDesk machines was pulled for further review.

A commissioner asked whether a reciprocal purchasing agreement with the county would offer lower pricing; one commissioner noted the county had recently bought HP desktop units at a substantially lower per‑unit price. The commission amended the invoice-approval motion to withhold the High‑Tech line item pending staff review of potential county sourcing and pricing.

During the appointments discussion commissioners urged more transparency in how reappointments are publicized and asked that applicant credentials be included for public review. Commissioners also discussed the retirement-system board’s funding level, with several members describing the system as solidly in the nineties in funded ratio.

The motion to approve invoices (except High‑Tech), accept appointments and approve the rest of the consent agenda passed on roll call.
