MCCI Monthly Meeting Jan. 2019
An overview of MacDowell Community Council Inc’s (MCCI) meeting:
On Saturday, January 12th, MCCI’s first meeting of the new year had informative presentations by Wayne County Treasurer Eric Sabree, contractor Terrence Hicks (pictured below) with Detroit Water and Sewerage Dept. and Mrs. Laura O’Neal, the president of WIG Block Club.
Following are a few notes and numbers of importance from presentations:

Residents: Your Water Bill is Changing
The city is changing how it charges you for drainage. Until now, most households have been charged a flat drainage fee of $20.63 per month. This has been the case whether the property was large or small and whether the lot was covered mostly with grass or with hard (impervious) surfaces like roofs and concrete driveways.
The majority of households are on smaller lots and will see a reduction in their drainage fee. Homes with larger than average roofs and longer driveways likely will see an increase on their bill based on the specifics of their own property.

*Must be a single family home or apartment up to 4 units for eligibility

New Year’s Resolutions
12/29/18
Have you made your new year resolution yet? Whatever you resolve to do in 2019, write it on paper and keep that paper somewhere you will see it throughout the year. Try your best to take action every day that will help you move toward your new year resolution. Sometimes, the hardest part about doing something different or something new is getting started. Taking that first step is usually the difficulty for me. However, once I start I get excited and it becomes easier by the day to take action. It is also important to not become discouraged by the hesitation of taking action toward your resolution. All things in its time, right? The important thing is you want to do something and you can do it. You just have to take that first step. What action will you take today to make your tomorrow a better day?
