It’s 10 a.m. Last week the Finance/Audit committee and the Community Engagement committee meetings were held
on June 17 and 18, respectively.

Next month’s Board of Directors meeting will be held July 22 at 10 a.m. EST

In April, CEO Tammy Daniels informed the board that Detroit City Council cut the budget (i.e. annual city subsidy) for the department in its entirety to $0.00. She referred to City Council’s closing resolution for the FY25-26 budget.

Link to the resolution in next post.
