Citizens Advisory Council (CAC)

Citizens Advisory Council (CAC)

The state legislation that created the DDA also provided for the creation of a Downtown Area Citizens Advisory Council (CAC). This group of 9 to 15 citizens living in the DDA area, appointed by the Mayor and City Council, works to advise the DDA and City Council about downtown issues and opportunities that affect downtown livability. Downtown livability and the perspective of downtown residents is the CAC’s central and paramount contribution to issues impacting downtown.

The CAC typically meets the 1st Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Meetings are currently virtual via Zoom however when meeting in person typically meet in the Basement Conference Room, City Hall, 301 E. Huron. A CAC report is included on the agenda of the monthly DDA Board meeting, the first Wednesday of the month. Meetings are open to the public and all are welcome.
