# October 12, 2026 City Council Meeting

The October 12, 2026 regular Garden City City Council meeting approved a professional-services agreement with Mannik & Smith Group of Monroe, Michigan, for as-needed citywide engineering services, including an attached fee schedule subject to final approval by the city attorney. The city said it received five RFP proposals and recommended the firm for its municipal experience, in-house resources, and grant-funding expertise; the firm had also assisted with water-main funding efforts. The motion passed 7–0. Council also approved, 7–0, a resolution authorizing road closures for the November 28 Santa Land Parade; no associated spending was discussed.

Public commenters questioned the city’s Flock license-plate-reader contract, including its cost, access controls, and renewal and termination terms. One commenter cited a first-year cost of $72,850 and $65,500 annually thereafter. No contract action was taken; council scheduled a public workshop on the cameras for December 7 at 5:30 p.m. Other discussion covered blight enforcement, proposed ordinance amendments, rental-ordinance revisions, and a resident’s sewer-line concern, but no related procurement decisions were made.
