The discussion focused heavily on road and infrastructure improvements funded through a combination of local millage, state and federal grants, ARPA funds, and sewer and water utility funds. Key projects include water main replacements paired with road resurfacing on Arthur and Maple streets, concrete road repairs on North Michigan Avenue and Schaefer Street, and a significant $2.5 million local road millage project. The city also highlighted the completion of a $1.2 million resurfacing project near the Great Lakes Bay Health building and the construction of a new traffic engineering pole barn.

The city emphasized increased road funding from new local taxes, enabling a 33% budget increase in 2026 and a 50% increase in 2027, facilitating catch-up on deferred maintenance and new capital projects. The meeting also covered ongoing and upcoming water main lining, booster station upgrades, and ADA ramp replacements.
