The Bay City Commission meeting on June 17, 2025, kicked off with the adoption of the agenda, which passed unanimously. The meeting quickly moved to the consent agenda, where several items were pulled for further discussion, including budget amendments and traffic control measures.

Commissioner Tenney led the charge, requesting to pull multiple items, including a significant land contract proposal for city-owned properties. Other commissioners echoed similar requests, highlighting the importance of transparency and community involvement in decision-making.

Public input was invited, but no citizens stepped forward to address the commission. Following this, the amended consent agenda was approved without opposition, signaling a smooth progression through the meeting's agenda.

In a notable moment, Commissioner Tenney took the opportunity to recognize Juneteenth, emphasizing its historical significance as the end of slavery in the United States. He encouraged community participation in local celebrations, including events in Saginaw and a gathering hosted by the Bay City branch of the NAACP.

The meeting underscored the commission's commitment to engaging with both local governance and cultural recognition, setting the stage for community involvement in upcoming events.
