City Council Meeting Tonight is ON

The Grosse Pointe Park website indicated that tonight's meeting was canceled. Since then, I've heard that it is not. Maybe someone should correct the notice. Sorry for the confusion. I'm only reporting what it says next to the meeting.

September 28 Council Meeting Canceled, St. Ambrose Oysterfest

The City of Grosse Pointe Park updated its website this morning and listed tonight's City Council meeting as canceled. At the last meeting on August 24, one Council member asked if a DTE representative could be invited to the next Council meeting to discuss the number of power outages in Grosse Pointe Park. However, the last two meetings have been canceled, so we have not heard anything further on this issue.

If you're looking for something else to do tonight, stop by the St. Ambrose Oysterfest from 5:00 - 9:00 p.m. on Kercheval in the parking lot next to Mulier's market.

A Community Conversation, Monday, September 21

On Monday, September 21, from 6:00 p.m. To 8:00 p.m.,at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. Rep. Tim Bledsoe and U of M Board Regent Andrew Richner will host a bi-partisan “Community Conversation” with the Center for Michigan. I am a guest facilitator for the event along with Grosse Pointe Councilwoman Vicki Granger and Circuit Court Judge, Lynne Pierce.

A few months ago I participated in one of the Center for Michigan’s conversations and found it enlightening. It is a chance for Michigan residents to voice their opinions regarding how our state should handle its challenges and create a vision for our future. Conversations are held around the state. The views shared at the forums will be compiled and presented to state leaders to provide them direction in their policy decision making. By participating, you can help influence Michigan’s future.

I hope you’ll join us on Monday evening at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. There is no charge to attend but reservations are strongly suggested.  To RSVP, email kjohnson@thecenterformichigan.net , or phone 248-333-2759.

Council Meeting Cancelled for September 14

The regularly scheduled City Council meeting for September 14 has been cancelled. And I was looking forward to hearing from the DTE representative that was supposed to attend this meeting.

The next meeting will be Monday, September 28, 7:00 pm in the court chambers of city hall.
