The City of Dearborn held a City Council meeting on January 10, 2023, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included awarding a contract not to exceed $200,000 to the Michigan State Police for armed police services at Camp Dearborn during the 2023 operating season, which was noted as a cost-effective alternative to previous contracts with other law enforcement agencies. Additionally, a contract was awarded to Asbestous Abatement, Inc. for demolition and disposal of abandoned trailers at Camp Dearborn, with a bid amount not to exceed $84,415.41. The council also approved a purchase of a new lighting console for the Michael A. Geo Theater from Pegasus Entertainment for $61,500, funded by a grant. Other budget-related items included recognizing and appropriating a $7,459.73 donation for the Dearborn Historical Museum and amending the salary plan to create a full-time safety and security coordinator position. Several resolutions were passed unanimously, and immediate effect was requested for many of these items. The meeting also included public comments, ordinance readings, and acknowledgments, but no other significant procurement discussions were identified.
