In 2025, The Sentinel is providing a weekly round-up of the biggest topics in upcoming municipal meetings, giving our readers a chance to engage with their local officials on the projects, appointments and decisions that hit closest to home.
These round-ups are written on Fridays, and will not include an agenda if one hasn’t been posted by 1 p.m. Municipalities are not required by the Michigan Open Meetings Act to provide an agenda in advance of a meeting, but they are required to provide notice. Please visit your local municipality website for the most updated information.
Of note: Most municipal offices will be closed July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
Here are the biggest topics for meetings Monday-Friday, June 30-July 4:
