Ann Arbor City Council Preview: April 21, 2025

 


Gentle readers, it's that time again. That's right: #a2Council night. Here's the agenda

The evening kicks off with a healthy, 16-item, consent agenda. Of note we have CA-1, the road closing for Taste of Ann Arbor. We also have CA-2, street closures for the African-American Festival. 

There are three public hearings on the agenda tonight. PH-1/B-1 is an update to the UDC to legalize pinball parlors downtown. PH-2/B-2 is an update to the rules regarding the Design Review Board. PH-3/B-3 is an update to the city's gas franchise agreement with DTE. 

There are 4 ordinance fist readings on the docket this evening. C-1 is an update to the rules around Alarm Systems. C-2 is an update to water rates. From the looks of it, it seems like they are updating for inflation. Here's some background reading on water rates: Revisiting Water Rates in Ann Arbor. C-3 and C-4 are similar updates to stormwater and sewer rates, respectively.

On to the resolutions. DC-1 is a resolution to appoint Molly Rowan to the Downtown Development Authority as a Non-registered Elector. DC-2 is a resolution to adopt the council's legislative policy agenda. DC-3 is a resolution to authorize the City Administrator to negotiate sale of air rights over Library Lane with the AADL, if voters pass the AADL charter amendments. DC-4 is a resolution to finalize the evaluation report and amend the employment agreement for the city Attorney. DS-1 and DS-2 are resolutions authorizing publication of the changes from B-1 and B-2.
