Beautiful day to check out the Novi Relays! Go Wildcats (oh and one great kid from Lakeland we were there to cheer on as well)!

Earlier this month Melissa and I had a great evening attending the Novi Educational Foundation Gala, which featured a fun ’80s theme this year.

It was a great night to support an organization that does so much for our teachers, schools, and students.

Be sure to stay up to date on the awesome things they do as well as upcoming NEF events by following them on Facebook.

The Boil Water Advisory has been lifted after Great Lakes Water Authority’s final test came back clear.

A huge thank‑you to Novi residents for your patience throughout the disruption.

Please see the post below from the City of Novi for reminders and a full checklist on what to do next, including flushing pipes and cleaning filters.

Water is now beginning to flow back into the Novi system following this morning’s break. Please remember the boil water advisory is still in effect until further notice.

While this is welcome news, I expect Novi City Council and City Administration will continue to press the Great Lakes Water Authority for answers and improvements.

WOOOOHOOOO!!! GLWA is reporting water is now entering Novi's local system and pressures are beginning to come up. It may take several hours for it to fully return. Reminder to follow the guidelines on boil water advisories as water returns to home and businesses.

We will share details on the water boil advisories again shortly!

Bad news this morning: another water outage impacting Novi residents.

To be clear, this break occurred outside the City of Novi on infrastructure owned and operated by the Great Lakes Water Authority. While it affects our residents, the City does not operate or maintain that system. Our level of control over it is similar to our control over the Michigan Department of Transportation and what happens on Interstate 96 in Brighton — we can push for answers, but we don’t run the infrastructure.

That said, the number of disruptions we’ve seen recently is not acceptable. Novi residents pay significant water rates and deserve reliable service. We have brought GLWA leadership before City Council and established a Public Utilities Committee to strengthen oversight and accountability.

I promise we will continue to do everything we can within our authority to push for answers and improvements.

Last week, Novi City Council and city administration had the awesome opportunity to tour the Lansing Public Safety Complex. It was a great hands‑on learning experience and gave us valuable insight as we begin planning the next generation of Novi’s public safety facilities. A big thank‑you to our project partners for setting up the visit, and to the City of Lansing for welcoming us and sharing their expertise.

Had a great night at the Novi Community School District State of the District on Wednesday. The future looks bright, and we’re so lucky to have Superintendent Ben Mainka and such a committed staff guiding our schools.

Sheryl Walsh and I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Northville Mayor Brian Turnbull on Update Novi. We talked about how our two communities partner on shared priorities and discussed some of the exciting things happening with our neighbor to the south.

What do baseline rivals Novi and Northville have in common? Quite a lot. On this episode of Update Novi, the mayors of both cities sit down to talk about sha...

Last month’s Mayor’s Youth Forum was a great turnout—thank you to all the teens who came out and shared your perspectives. Council recently approved shifting from a traditional Youth Council to a less formal Youth Council format, and the change made for a really open and productive conversation. Thanks as well to Novi’s creative communications team for the sweet swag that attendees picked up along the way. Looking forward to seeing even more of our youngest residents at the next forum on April 30!

Great to welcome everyone to Novi last week for the 2026 Japanese Job Fair alongside my friend, Consulate General Kishimori. Proud that the City of Novi could once again host this growing event and help foster new connections and lasting relationships.

Novi continues to be a strong home for our Japanese business community, and we’re grateful for these partnerships and friendships.

Thake again to all who worked hard to make this year a resounding success and I look forward to welcoming everyone back to Novi for the 2027 Japanese Job Fair on March 25
