Troy City Council Approves Major Pool Repairs and Leadership Updates
TROY — 2/12/2026
TROY, MI – The Troy City Council held its regular meeting on February 9, 2026, taking decisive action on municipal infrastructure and administrative agreements. Led by Mayor Ethan Baker, the council authorized significant funding for recreational facility repairs and formalized terms for the city’s top administrative leadership.
Infrastructure and Recreation Investments
A primary focus of the meeting was the maintenance of the city’s recreational assets. The council approved a $480,125 contract with Advanced Pool Services for comprehensive repairs at the Troy Family Aquatic Center (TFAC). The project includes replacing concrete, re-marciting pools with Sunstone Antigua Quartz, and re-grouting tiles. To support these improvements, the council also approved a budget amendment of $287,187.
Additionally, the council waived the standard bidding process to purchase new golf course equipment for Sylvan Glen Golf Course, totaling $90,809.53.
Public Safety and Administration
The council moved to modernize and maintain critical public safety infrastructure. This included an $83,488.28 cooperative purchase for a Storage Area Network (SAN) upgrade for the Police Department and the renewal of the department’s scheduling and payroll software for $11,760.
In administrative business, the council approved an amended employment agreement for City Manager Frank Nastasi. The updated contract shifts his employment to an "indefinite term," aligning his agreement with standard city practices and removing previous end-date language.
Community Concerns and Recognition
During public comment, resident Dave Niffin raised safety concerns regarding vehicles cutting through a gas station at Rochester Road and Long Lake to bypass traffic. Council Member Theresa Brooks noted the issue, acknowledging that ongoing construction in the area has heavily impacted traffic patterns at that intersection.
The meeting also featured a proclamation honoring Sienna Nguyen for her outstanding leadership contributions to the community, and council members recognized the 50th anniversary of the federal recognition of Black History Month.
