Dennis Hennen, Berkley City Council

Happy New Year, everyone. I wish you well in the coming year. 

2019 was a busy year for Berkley and 2020 looks to be the same. I wanted to reflect on some of the big things that have happened and what we have to look forward to.

I'd like to share some updates on the road working coming to 12 Mile this summer.

The Planning Commission approved the Aqua-Tots development, are making better public hearing notice requirements, and discussed parking in general.

Berkley finally has the legal tools to enforce delivery of the free papers to the door and not in the driveway. I've already asked the City Manager and Attorney to start looking at this.

After speaking with several local and state authorities, I have some updates on fireworks.

Denial and discussion for side yard encroachment and an MRI trailer.

Ordinances on marijuana and conversion therapy, and rules changes to increase transparency were items decided at Monday's council meeting.

I was interviewed by Fox 2 after another fire that seems to have been caused by fireworks.
