Summary of City Council Meeting - 10/26/09

I'm going to refer readers to the "Grossepointetoday.com" write up of the Council meeting. Isaac Elster does a nice job with his summaries.

Trick or Treat in the Park

From 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. ghosts and goblins will gather at Windmill Pointe Park to collect treats on Saturday, October 24. Resident volunteers will attend stations and distribute candy to the tiny trick or treaters. Hope to see you there! Look for the cowgirl!

City Council Meeting Summary - 9/28/09

Despite the confusion about whether the Sept. 28 meeting was on or cancelled due to it being listed one the city's website as "cancelled," many residents turned out for the meeting to express concern over various matters. Unfortunately, some of the reporters who usually cover the meetings thought it was cancelled based on the city's website and didn't attend. However, a reporter from "Grosse Pointe Today," an online news organization was there. He summarized the meeting on the website which can be found at GrossePointeToday.com.

My only additions to his write-up are as follows:

A resident from Nottingham asked to have an accounting of where the $7-million bond money, approved by residents in 2007, has been spent. Apparently he asked for an accounting of the real estate transactions under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). He is now interested in knowing about the rest of the bond expenditure.
