opposing vote and Councilman Ronald Frederick was excused from the meeting.

received at $703,681,” the item stated. “That estimate did not include the area behind and around the pro shop, where the first tee and golf carts are staged.” City staff created an updated proposal that includes all areas of the parking lot and reflects current material pricing, the item states.

Residents with homes on the canals along Benjamin and Statler streets will pay for a dredging process through an established special assessment district. At its meeting on Oct. 20, the St. Clair Shores City Council voted 6-0 to create a SAD and set a public hearing on Nov. 17. Councilman Ronald Frederick was excused from the meeting. Items attached to the agenda indicated residents on Benjamin and Statler streets, north of 10 Mile Road, submitted all necessary documents to the city to create the district. The assessor verified the petition and made sure it garnered the two-thirds vote it needed. “The Petition for dredging noted the cost estimate is $255,000 ($2,130 was included for City fees),” the materials indicated.
