Live Stream City of Lincoln Park Council Meeting - 7:00 PM 05-26-2026

The City of Lincoln Park Council held a meeting on May 26, 2026, which included a public hearing on the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget. The budget presentation highlighted a balanced budget with projected revenues and expenditures across general, major and local road, water and sewer, and sanitation funds. The council discussed capital improvement needs, including road projects and water meter replacements, with plans for upcoming study sessions on water and sewer rate adjustments and sanitation recycling changes. The council approved several procurement-related items including soliciting bids for pickleball courts, pump and generator installation for a retention basin, pipe lining, lead services, and CCTV projects. They also approved an increase in the water meter replacement fee to $300 to cover costs and enacted a zoning moratorium on new used auto dealer lots to address economic development challenges. Additionally, the council approved ballot language for a Headlee Override to increase city tax limits for funding services and capital investments. A new used auto dealer license was approved for MGM Autos LLC at 533 Southfield Road, an application that predated the moratorium. The meeting included updates on bond sales for road projects and ongoing water main repairs. Public comments addressed concerns about recycling, creek cleanup, rental property upkeep, and sewer maintenance. The meeting concluded with council member remarks and acknowledgments of community events and public safety efforts.
