As I settle into my first term on City Council, I find myself looking for ways to engage with residents outside of formal meetings and official city notices.
Many residents are interested not just in the decisions City Council makes, but in the questions being discussed and the tradeoffs that local government often requires.
With that in mind, I’m using this site to share my notes and observations about issues affecting Lathrup Village, as well as updates on community events. My hope is that these notes provide additional context and understanding while encouraging even greater resident engagement.
Note: The views expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Lathrup Village City Council as a whole. For official notices, agendas, meeting packets, minutes, and public records, please visit the City’s website, lathrupvillage.org.
I’ve also compiled links to many of those resources, along with other community information, on the Get Involved menu below.
I welcome your questions, ideas, and feedback.
At last night’s City Council meeting, Council considered and ultimately rejected a resolution opposing the proposed Oakland County 1.5 mill Regional Enhancement Millage by a vote of 4-1, including my own no vote.
