The council approved multiple resolutions including the awarding of a sealed bid to Savone Cement for $248,040 funded by a community development block grant for concrete work at Champagne and Brand Parks. They also approved the allocation of $64,226 from the Wayne County Parks Millage Fund for the construction of the former Allen Park show plaza.
