Romulus City Council on Dec. 8 adopted several resolutions honoring retiring employees and approved multiple appointments to boards and commissions.

Resolutions: The council approved a memorial resolution honoring Apostle Reginald L. Williams Sr. and passed retirement resolutions recognizing the service of Maria Lambert, Julie Albert (city assessor) and City Attorney Steve Hitchcock. Members offered personal tributes during the meeting.

Appointments and reappointments: The council concurred with the administration to reappoint Councilwoman Celeste Roscoe as the council representative to the Planning Commission and to appoint Deandre Green to the Planning Commission (term to 01/31/2027). The council also concurred to appoint Cathy Abdo as the council representative to the Romulus Library Board, appointed Jared Funderburg to the Construction Board of Appeals (term to 05/29/2028), and named additional appointments to the executive advisory committee, cemetery board of trustees and other committees. One appointment to the BZA was temporarily withdrawn pending legal clarification and will be returned to the council at a future meeting.
