Multiple department heads at the April 17 Mount Clemens City Commission meeting presented quarterly reports showing active operations and planned projects.
Captain Happy of the fire department said crews responded to 852 runs year-to-date and continue inspections and follow-up on a hotel-related court matter. Community Development Director Brian Tingley reported 272 building and trade permits in the first quarter, 665 code-enforcement cases opened, 222 rental inspections, 19 certificates of occupancy issued and a successful $60,000 crowdfunding campaign matched by $50,000 from the Macomb County Economic Corporation for a kayak launch at MacArthur Park.
Finance reported preparations for the 2017–18 proposed budget, distribution of 6,941 assessment notices and steps to modernize dispatch communications with Macomb County IT. Human Resources said the city employed 71 people (60 full-time, 11 part-time) and completed payroll and benefit reporting tasks.
Utilities Director Janette Best reported production of approximately 179.565 million gallons of drinking water and treatment of about 418.203 million gallons of wastewater without any discharge permit violations; the department completed required Mercury and pretreatment reports, negotiated a new discharge permit allowing treated effluent to the Clinton River (effective May 1), and awarded a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) upgrade contract.
Public Services reported ramping up street sweeping and concrete/patching bids, installation of a memorial bench at Wilson Park, emergency removal of a damaged pedestrian bridge on North Rose Street, methane monitoring and DEQ-mandated dewatering operations. City clerks announced candidate filing packets for the Nov. 7 election and business registration renewals for over 600 businesses.
Commissioners thanked department heads for the reports and noted the operations and capital needs discussed will inform upcoming budget and infrastructure decisions.
