The Wayne County Commission held an Economic Development meeting on November 25, 2025, where several procurement-related items were discussed. Key among them was the approval of a two-year comparable source grant services agreement with the Downtown Detroit Partnership for the purchase of 10 magnetometers, costing up to $200,000 as Wayne County's contribution toward the total purchase price of approximately $340,000. These magnetometers are intended to enhance security at major public events in downtown Detroit, with the equipment to be managed by the Downtown Detroit Partnership but with usage rights for Wayne County events as well. The commission approved the reimbursement agreement unanimously. Other agenda items included receiving and filing operating reports for the Guardian Building and First Street parking deck, and notices of public hearings related to property and facility exemption certificates in Detroit and Taylor. No other procurement contracts or budget allocations were discussed during the meeting.
