Allen Park City Council Meeting - October 27, 2026

The Allen Park City Council meeting on October 27, 2026, included two procurement- and funding-related resolutions. Council approved a $9,514.50 allocation recommended by the Festivities Commission to purchase a custom sign for the Allen Park Community Center’s Frank Latta Ice Arena; the sign was expected to be installed within about 90 days. Council also approved a Wayne County intergovernmental agreement and accepted $64,226 from the County Parks Millage Fund for construction at the plaza/movie-theater site. The funding is reimbursable, restricted to that project unless a change is requested and approved, and available through the end of September 2028. Both resolutions passed. The consent agenda, covering claims and accounts and payroll, was also approved.

The city administrator reported that CDBG-funded work at Champagne Park was complete, including cement and fitness equipment, with work at Brain Park continuing. Public comments raised concerns about the proposed downtown park and parking, communication about projects, and the city’s data-center moratorium and planning process. The council also voted to enter a closed session for labor negotiations with Elm Park Firefighters IAFF Local 1410; no negotiation outcome or related spending decision was reported.
