MADISON HEIGHTS — The Madison Heights City Council has undergone dramatic change with the adjournment of its 35th council and the start of its 36th.

The changeover occurred at the council meeting Nov. 19, when Judge Keith Hunt from the 43rd District Court in Madison Heights swore in the new mayor, Corey Haines — also the city’s former police chief, and the current police chief of Eastpointe — along with returning Councilwoman Toya Aaron and new Councilwoman Laurie Geralds. Haines’ mayoral term is for two years, while the council terms are for four years.

Tributes were also paid to the departing council members, including the former mayor, Roslyn Grafstein, and former mayor pro tem, Mark Bliss, as well as David Soltis. All three chose not to run for reelection this year.
