Farmington officials may vote tonight on an agreement to contract with dispatch services with the City of Farmington Hills.

 

A big vote is expected at tonight's Farmington City Council meeting. Here's what else you should know today:

1. The weather

The National Weather Service predicts another rainy, windy day with a high around 71 and wind gusts between 21 and 28 miles per hour. Expect a low tonight around 36, with a continuing chance of showers before 10 p.m.

2. Meet your state legislators

Both Rep. Vicki Barnett (D-37th District) and Sen. Vincent Gregory (D-14th District) will meet with constituents today. At 9:30 a.m., Barnett hosts a town hall on tax changes for adults age 50 and older at the Costick Center. She will be joined by an expert panel from the Accounting Aid Society and the Municipal Employees' Retirement System. At 10 a.m., Gregory will talk about state and community issues —including the Michigan Supreme Court’s decision on Oakland County redistricting legislation – at the Southfield Public Library, 26300 Evergreen Rd, Southfield. 

3. Summer Resource Fair

The Farmington African American Parent Network will host a Summer Resource Fair today 7 p.m. at Harrison High. Parents, grandparents and family members of all Farmington Public Schools students will share resources and learn how to support students academically, socially and creatively, while sharpening their skills during the summer break.
