Allen Park City Council Meeting - April 28, 2026

The Allen Park City Council held a meeting on April 28, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key highlights included the approval of a $1.3 million single-source purchase of a new fire engine from Suffin Corporation, with the bid process waived due to state approval and anticipated state reimbursement. The council also approved funding allocations totaling $775,000 secured for senior services, park improvements, and a fitness station. Additionally, the council approved a fee schedule for the new Rusty's Dog Park and authorized an intergovernmental agreement to combine funds for upgrades to the Gingham Dog Tatlot park.
