The 9-15-25 Commission Meeting held on September 16, 2025, in Bay City, Michigan, focused on community events and park improvements.

The meeting began with a presentation regarding an upcoming Halloween event scheduled for October 25 from 12 PM to 2 PM in the Midland Street business district. The event, aimed at children, will feature 30 local businesses handing out candy. The merchants proposed to close Midland Street for this event, in addition to an existing closure planned for October 31 through November 2. A map with a QR code will be available for families to explore the district's offerings. The Whales parking lot will host activities, including appearances by local police and fire departments, as well as several nonprofit organizations.

One commission member expressed opposition to the street closure on October 24 and 26 but supported the closure for the adult-oriented events from October 31 to November 2, indicating a preference for maintaining a family-friendly atmosphere during the earlier event.

Following this discussion, Debbie Rogers inquired about the status of improvements to Boerne Park. She sought clarification on whether any decisions had been made regarding enhancements to the park, referencing previous discussions on the topic.

The meeting concluded with no immediate resolutions on park improvements, but the inquiries highlighted ongoing community interest in local development and event planning. Further updates on both the Halloween event and Boerne Park are anticipated in future meetings.
