The City of Fenton Board of Aldermen convened on September 26, 2024, to address several key issues impacting the community, including the approval of minutes from previous meetings and financial disbursements for city projects.
A significant highlight of the meeting was the acknowledgment of the new pickleball courts, which have seen heavy usage since their opening. Mayor comments also included a tribute to Carl Brandt, the retiring chairman of the Board of Adjustment, who has served the city for nearly four decades. The board plans to honor him in a special ceremony next month.
The board approved minutes from multiple past meetings without any objections, ensuring transparency and continuity in their proceedings. Financial discussions revealed that the total disbursements for the month amounted to $1,572,165.48, primarily due to a substantial allocation for concrete repairs by RV Wagner. This increase in spending was noted as higher than usual but justified by necessary infrastructure improvements.
Public comments were invited, but no residents chose to speak at this time. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter an executive session to discuss legal matters and sealed bids, ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential until appropriate disclosures can be made.
Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to community engagement and infrastructure development, setting the stage for future improvements in Fenton.
