Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Livonia public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Virtual/Zoom option for Council meetings
A resident argued the 30-minute comment cap and lack of virtual access violate the Open Meetings Act and ADA. Brockway is studying Zoom options with legal, the clerk, and communications; Budzinski warned all public meetings would need streaming, with budget implications.
Early voting accessibility at City Hall
State law requires early voting at a publicly owned site, and the Election Commission picked City Hall. Critics, including Council President Reid and resident Laura Jonica, say the steep front ramp is not truly ADA-compliant; the Clerk points to curbside voting and a 12-of-14 audit score.
