Commissioners recommended paying a land-conservation organization to help place legal limits on development (conservation easements) and voted to use funds from the city’s Open Space and Parkland Preservation millage to help buy easements on two properties with neighboring townships. For residents this means the city is investing tax-approved open-space money to protect specific parcels from future development and hiring a conservancy to manage easement work. The commission also approved prior meeting minutes and heard staff and budget updates.
