The Eastpointe City Council held its regular meeting on January 6, 2026, where they honored longtime community member Dan Xander for his 33 years of service as a crossing guard. The council discussed several key topics including the approval of a parking lease with the United States Postal Service, and the addition of a gun range to the new police department and 38th district court project. The gun range proposal was debated with considerations about safety, contamination, and budget impacts, ultimately moving forward with inclusion in the bonding project. The council also reviewed opioid settlement funds received and planned to discuss potential expenditures. Additionally, they approved funding for park fencing projects and scheduled a joint meeting with the planning commission to discuss the master plan. The meeting reflected a focus on public safety infrastructure, community development, and fiscal planning.
