# Dearborn City Council Meeting originally aired live on October 06, 2026.

The Dearborn City Council’s regularly scheduled meeting was held October 6, 2026. The main capital-funding discussion was an update from the Dearborn Public Schools superintendent on a proposed $1.51 billion bond measure for the November 3 ballot. The approximately 20-year plan would build six new preK–8 schools, renovate district schools, and invest more than $220 million in critical building systems. The superintendent said the proposal would not increase homeowners’ total tax rate, describing the bond levy as replacing existing school and debt millages. This was a school-district proposal presented for public information, not a City Council procurement approval; no contract awards, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified.

The council approved its consent agenda, tabled an ordinance concerning electric bicycles and scooters, and considered other resolutions and an appointment to the 19th District Court. Public comments included concerns about traffic safety, property taxes, and the school bond proposal; city officials described ongoing enforcement and safety work, but no specific related spending or procurement action was announced. The meeting also included a resolution urging the U.S. Census Bureau to withdraw a proposed residency-counting rule. No city procurement activity was identified.
