More than 5,000 Ann Arbor registered voters signed a petition for a public power city charter amendment, qualifying the proposal for the November 3 city election ballot. The initiative will determine if Ann Arbor will establish the governance structure for a municipal electric utility that would replace DTE. If approved, a charter amendment would set elections for the public utility governing board in 2028.
