Cardi DeMonaco Jr

Cardi DeMonaco Jr, Councilperson, City of Eastpointe Cardi was appointed to the Eastpointe City Council on October 23, 2014. On February 24, 2015, Cardi was elected and then reelected on November 7, 2017.

Cardi was on the City of Eastpointe Zoning Board of Appeals from June 2012 until October 2014, when assuming the City Council role. The board ruled on appeal decisions related to zoning, signs and fences in the City of Eastpointe. A University of Michigan-Dearborn graduate, he was a member of the Alumni Society Board, and was previously Chair and Vice Chair. The group advocates on behalf of alumni and creates opportunities for alumni to stay involved. Personally, he is also involved in the College of Engineering and Computer Science Affiliate group, regularly volunteering at the Engineering Experience and Career Nights. Cardi advocated for higher education in Michigan as part of the Student Association of Michigan. In his fifth and last year of college, he was humbled to be President of the organization and lead their second annual rally at the State Capitol. The Muscular Dystrophy Association and American Red Cross are two organizations that are very important to Cardi. Each summer he volunteers at the MDA Summer Camp in Lexington for a week, and he gives blood (almost) every 8 weeks (or 16 if he is able to commit to double reds!).

An update on Body-Worn Cameras for the Eastpointe Police Department

Macomb March on June 6, 2020

Last Saturday, I attended the Black Lives Matter demonstration on Hall Road, started by AMA, also known as the three Chippewa Valley students Angel-Mary-Ariana. Thousands attended in support of the movement, as seen in the 7+ minute video. But that was just the beginning for positive change in Macomb County. All of the folks that attended (including myself) need to look deep inside and figure out how we can make things more equitable in our society. I'm starting with our City Council meeting on Tuesday, by introducing a budget amendment for body-worn cameras in the police department. Do your part. The time for change is now! #Antiracism #BlackLivesMatter #AMAprotest

Let's End COVID-19 Together

Please donate to organizations such as the United Way for Southeastern Michigan to help with responses to COVID-19! Along with my donation to the United Way SEM is this clip from Alternative Spring Break 2008 😆 #GivingTuesdayNow #ThrowbackTuesday #SorryThrowbackThursday #SorryNotSorry

No time wasted with Eastpointe residents back using the parks responsibly. #SocialDistancing #QuarantineLife

March is Reading Month!

I'm reading, "The Day the Crayons Quit" by Drew Daywalt and illusatrated by Oliver Jeffers.

Census 2020

It’s time to get counted, Eastpointe! The census is important because it: ☑️ Provides data to lawmakers, business owners, and teachers. ☑️ Determines important federal funding amounts for things like hospitals, fire departments, schools, and roads! ☑️ Allocates the number of US Congressional seats to each state. The data is also used for the district lines of our State Legislature and County Commission. *Note: I recorded this video a few days ago when the Eastpointe Memorial Library was still open.

I spent the summer going door-to-door talking to Eastpointe voters who have a history of voting in local elections. With over 1,000 conversations about what our residents want for the future of our city, I am excited that Election Day is coming up on Tuesday, November 5! Don’t forget to return your absentee ballot to City Hall by the times polls close or vote at the polls 7:00am to 8:00pm. If you have any questions about where to vote on Election Day - let me know!

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃 If you stop by our house, you can see a half-eaten-by-squirrels VOTE pumpkin as well as a few others! We have lots of candy and allergy-friendly items for kids of all ages!

I’ve got a lot of practicing to do, but Spindler Park Disc Golf Course is awesome!

I am excited to announce that I'm running to be the new Mayor of Eastpointe. As a longtime resident and homeowner in Eastpointe, I am passionate about its success and opportunities. We are facing a tough future but I am ready for the challenges this position will bring. Check out my page to learn more about my votes as a City Councilperson and my platform for the city moving forward!

Good luck on your Homecoming game Shamrocks!

First official wipeout on the new Sled Hill in the City of Eastpointe! The City did an AMAZING job!!! Go check it out at Spindler Park!

Thank you for keeping J.J. Mich. I think they do a great job with the parks, ball fields and so much more. Thank you Mr. DeMonaco.

Can you please get a clarification on the lawn cutting post added awhile ago on the City Site. Are residents allowed to mow their own lawns ? Many are under the impression NO LAWNS , period are to be cut, i & others are under the impression. That you cannot have a lawn service company cut or landscape your property but if you, the resident cut your own lawn, that is permitted. People are going bat -crap crazy over this. ThankYou & can it be clarified on the city site, I have no idea who posted the notice.

Landscaping is the cosmetic things that are done to the lawn ie: planting flowers, creating flower beds, brick pavers, planting bushes. Grass cutting is maintenance. Aerations are not essential but cutting is a sanitation issue ie: rodents, insects and blight. The Mayor has the power to deem this essential only cutting.

Does this include the Election workers checks, too.

Cardi, Hope this finds you well. I'm going you can help me... I'm away from home during this event and am trying to complete my 2019 taxes. I need to find out my property taxes for 2019. No one is answering calls or returning messages when I call the city. Is anyone there? Is there a way to find this public information on the City website? Do you have a link? Macomb County answered their phone and said they wouldn't have that info, but Eastpointe should have it available online... I just can't seem to navigate the website well enough to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, DG

Good luck today, I so wish i could vote for you !!

The very best of wishes for you tomorrow in the election. If Eastpointe voters know what they are doing, you will be their next mayor :)

Best of luck tomorrow Cardi DeMonaco Jr!!!

Good Luck Cardi

He can't wait to go with me to vote for you!

What's your opinion on Sanctuary cities?

Good luck! Hearing good stuff about you!
