Regular City Council Meeting October 12, 2026

Madison Heights City Council regular meeting — October 12, 2026. Council approved rezoning approximately 1.7 acres at 27431 Hill Street from R3 residential to Natural Preservation and Recreation, a step toward the city acquiring the property and adding it to Rosy’s Park. The city said the federal property owner, identified in the transcript as the FAA, indicated it could be purchased for the cost of a required survey; no purchase price or final acquisition approval was reported. If the rezoning failed, the property could go to auction. Council also approved the September 28 meeting minutes. No bid awards or purchases were listed under that agenda item.

Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2217, which would require cryptocurrency kiosks operating in the city to cease operations and be removed within 60 days of adoption. A second and final reading was scheduled for October 26, 2026; the ordinance was not yet finally adopted. During public comment and council remarks, residents raised privacy concerns about automated license-plate-reader cameras. Council members said the city’s Flock contracts had ended, while remaining cameras were owned by Oakland County; no removal decision or vote was taken. The city also said it has no authority over Amazon drone operations, which are governed by the FAA.
