The 15-member committee is charged with reviewing key information about the condition of city roads and municipal buildings. After the review, the committee will submit recommendations that will help city leaders confirm a course of action to address critical capital improvements for city roads, the Parks & Recreation Complex, city hall and the historic fire hall.

The city will also seek input from all Berkley residents by distributing a survey focused on the future of the Community Center and ice arena.

CAC members, all Berkley residents, are volunteers and will not be compensated for their effort. A series of meetings will be held between January and March 2017.
