Council Addresses Widespread Power Outages and DTE Response
The council discussed the significant power outages experienced over the summer festival weekend, which impacted thousands of residents.

Frustration was expressed regarding DTE's lengthy restoration times and their impact on residents, including loss of food, medicine, and wages. The council emphasized the need for more work to be done to address power dynamics statewide and ensure unacceptable service is not repeated. DPW, police, and fire crews were busy responding and will be involved in cleanup efforts. [cite: 319-375]
