Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Troy public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Flock license plate camera data privacy
A resident urged the council to reconsider Troy's use of Flock cameras, citing Oakland County Sheriff's cancellation of its Flock contract renewal and alleged ethics issues elsewhere.
Cherryhurst subdivision sewer backups and MMRMA claims
More than 70% of Cherryhurst homes had sewage back up into basements during the April 15 storm, with remediation costs up to $16,000 per home. Residents say the city knew the sewer was full by 2 a.m. but didn't start pumping until 6:15 a.m. due to equipment failure, and got no door-to-door outreach like in 2019.
FY 2026/2027 Budget and Capital Funding
Only about 27 cents of every tax dollar Troy residents pay comes back to the city — the rest goes to schools and the county. That leaves the city unable to keep up with deferred maintenance on buildings and roads even though the operating budget is lean and well-managed.
