# 10-6-26 Commission Meeting

The Bay City City Commission meeting on October 6, 2026, approved a $150,000 funding agreement with Good Samaritan Rescue Mission, with a 9–0 vote. The amount is a reimbursement cap for eligible expenses, funded through the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act; the commission discussed the drop-in center’s service data, spending, and coordination with community providers. The transcript also references a proposed $437,000 appropriation for paving equipment, which drew public comment about equipment needs and maintenance, but does not show a vote on that item.

The commission discussed neighborhood traffic safety, including repeated vehicle crashes, possible guardrails or a four-way stop, and e-bike use. Regular agenda item 3, a preliminary traffic signal optimization and infrastructure funding agreement involving Bay City Bridge Partners, received no motion and was not brought to a vote. Commissioners raised concerns about traffic impacts and toll billing and requested further information and engagement with the company; staff were asked to follow up with a resident affected by crashes.
