A divided Detroit City Council has voted to enter into a consent agreement with the state to dramatically overhaul the cash-strapped city's finances.

Council members voted 5-4 to sign off on the deal after days of emotional debate.

Voting yes were council President Charles Pugh, President Pro Tem Gary Brown and members Saunteel Jenkins, Kenneth Cockrel Jr. and James Tate.

Voting no were members Andre Spivey, JoAnn Watson, Kwame Kenyatta and Brenda Jones.

Under the plan, a Financial Advisory Board would be created to oversee the city's fiscal restructuring, while a project manager and a chief financial officer -- both reporting to the mayor -- would be empowered to carry out directives.
