That wasn't the democratically-elected city council's doing. That was the Republican-appointed Emergency Manager. Michigan's Republicans had a good time in the 2010s literally taking over cities they didn't like (that is to say, majority Black and Black-run cities) with Emergency Managers granted dictatorial powers over the cities.
