The City of Detroit has designated May 22nd as the Day District 4 block clubs and community organizations will be participating in the annual Motor City Make Over. One advantage of registering an organization ahead of a clean-up is that the City of Detroit will supply gloves and heavy duty trash or yard waste bags. Another advantage is that the City will schedule a timely pickup of the trash and other waste.
To register an organization, and learn more about the Motor City Make Over, please refer to the links on this page of the Detroit City Government website:

At our April 12th meeting Sandra Turner-Handy became our 5th Community Advisory Council member. Her appointment, by City Councilmember Andre Spivey fills the remaining vacancy that resulted from only three members being elected.
Sandra Turner-Handy
A lifelong Detroiter, Sandra Turner-Handy is the mother of six children, 11 grand-children and two great-grandson. Sandra is a graduate of Wayne State University with a bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Science in Leadership Development, and is completing a Doctorate of Education in Leadership Development.
Sandra has worked in the political arena as a chief of staff for Representative and Senator Hansen Clarke. It is this position that has motivated her to work and engage in the areas of social and environmental justice in the City of Detroit. Sandra has found her niche in engagement of others to raise the quality of life for residents within the city. Sandra is the Engagement director for the MI Environmental Council, where she has worked for the past 13 years.
Sandra currently sits on a number of boards coalitions whose goals are to mitigate environmental impacts, improve Detroiters’ health, and improve the built environment through practices and policy changes.
As a community leader Sandra leads the Denby Neighborhood Alliance since 2013, serves as president of the Ninth Precinct Community Relations Council and sits on the board of Life Builders and Camp Restore Detroit. Sandra enjoys reading, landscaping, writing, developing youth leaders and working on beautification and re-development projects in her community.
The Detroit City Council recently passed a Community Outreach Ordinance. The text of the ordinance is here.
In the presentation viewable here, it says:
HOW MUST THE NOTICE BE PROVIDED?
• The Community Advisory Councils (CACs) are community
elected bodies created by the Detroit City Charter.
• It was crucial that the CACs be notified of the outreaches to
participate in the process and spread the word.
and
WHAT MUST BE IN THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH REPORT?
If provided, a report from the established Community Advisory Council representing the impacted neighborhood.
So we will be learning more about this in the days ahead.
