Information is starting to leak out that the voting members of Detroit Area Council and Clinton Valley Council approved their consolidation.
This was seen on a Detroit Area Council District Executive’s twitter page earlier today:
I am now a charter member of the NEW MICHIGAN COUNCIL. Council Board Members from DAC & CVC voted overwhelmingly in favor of consolidation.
No information about the votes outcome has been posted on either Council’s website, the Consolidation Study website, or released in a press release yet.
The last official news was that on June 16, 2009, both of the Council’s Executive Boards met and overwhelmingly and enthusiastically voted to support a consolidation. The voting members of both councils (Executive Board members, Council Members at Large and Charter Organization Representatives) will vote on the proposed consolidation Tuesday, August 4, 2009.
Start collecting those Detroit Area Council and Clinton Valley Council patches today before word gets out! We will keep you informed of the new Council as information such as name and first CSP are released.
