# Committee Meeting | COPS - October 20, 2026

The Wayne County Commission COPS Committee met on October 20, 2026. The committee reviewed the Department of Public Services (DPS) Parks Capital Improvement Plan report, including the process for commissioners to direct community park allocations. The Parks Director said allocations may be rolled forward or combined for larger projects, and that unused funds would remain available in the following year if not yet allocated. The report also described the process and roles for commissioners, the county, and communities in completing project details and contracts. The committee received and filed the parks report and an emergency procurement report concerning a professional services contract with C.A. Hull Company for emergency steel repairs; the repair location is garbled in the transcript.

The committee approved items 3 through 9 in a single motion, which carried. These included an amendment to the three-year guardrail installation, repair, and removal contract with RMD Holdings Limited dba Nationwide Construction Group; use of DPS Roads Maintenance Division contract services to rent heavy equipment as needed; and fleet purchases, including five heavy-duty trucks from Wolverine Freightliner through Sourcewell cooperative pricing, with approximately $3 million discussed, plus six F-150s, 18 F-250s, and two cargo vans. The committee also approved a five-year Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity grant agreement supporting the West Road Bridge project, with approximately $10 million discussed; a separate federal funding request of about $40 million was pending, and construction scheduling depends on funding. Two MDOT signal-modernization contracts—for Beech Daly Road at 7 Mile Road and Cherry Hill Road at Wildwood Street—were also approved for work planned in 2027. Staff said safety studies guide intersection prioritization.
