Janice Winfrey, City Clerk Malik Washington, Mayor’s Liaison VIA: Hon. Council President James E. Tate DATE: 23 June 2026 RE: BUDGET MODIFICATION FOR DINING WITH CONFIDENCE PROGRAM I am requesting a budget modification transferring $300,000 from Detroit at Work to the Detroit Health Department to support the Dining with Confidence education program. As the City continues to promote food safety, workforce development, and consumer confidence within Detroit’s restaurant industry, the Dining with Confidence program has emerged as an important educational initiative for both food service workers and restaurant operators. Additional resources will allow the Detroit Health Department to expand training opportunities, increase participation, and strengthen compliance with food safety standards. Please provide the necessary budget modification and any related implementation considerations for Council review. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact my office at 313-224-1198.

We appreciate the Health Department’s willingness to walk through current operations and respond to council questions. As a follow-up, I have a few additional questions so I can better understand some of the issues discussed on the record and areas that may come up in future policy discussions. 1) You list of major focus areas like infant mortality reduction and chronic disease, what measurable improvements did we see last year? What are your FY27 targets for infant mortality, chronic disease rates, and lead exposure cases? 2) How much of your budget is going toward direct clinical services (immunizations, STI treatment, etc.) versus upstream prevention? a. What percentage of funding is dedicated to addressing social determinants like housing, food access, and transportation? 3) Food access is a critical social determinant of health, and too many neighborhoods in Detroit are still without a full-service grocery store. What conversations is the Health Department having with DEGC and PDD to incentivize grocery store development in underserved areas, and is there anything in this budget that reflects that coordination? 4) Lead exposure remains a major issue—how many homes were remediated last year and how many are targeted this year? a. What is the backlog of homes needing intervention, and how long does it take from identification to remediation? b. What does partnership with DWSD, HRD, and BSEED look like? 5) Many services are free or low-cost, what are the biggest barriers residents still face in accessing them? 6) How is the Health Department coordinating with police on mental health co-response programs? Coleman A. Young Municipal Center | 2 Woodward Ave., Suite 1340, Detroit, Michigan 48226 Phone: 313.224.2151 | councilmemberdenzel@detroitmi.gov Page 12 of 64  a. What portion of your budget supports behavioral health versus traditional public health services? b. If we’re investing in co-response, what evidence do we have that it’s reducing arrests or emergency room visits? c. Have we investigated other models that do not involve the police, like CROS in Washtenaw County and CAHOOTS in Eugene, Oregon? 7) What innovative solutions are you looking into to help meet the health insurance coverage cliff for our families who do not have employer-provided insurance, make too much for Medicaid/Healthy Michigan Plan, and not enough for marketplace plans, especially as the federal government is no longer offering ACA subsidies? 8) How is the department expanding access to health services directly in schools through school partnerships? a. Are there plans to deploy mobile health units to our schools? 9) What investments are being made in children’s mental and behavioral health, especially post- pandemic? 10) As vaccine utilization rates have dropped in Michigan, what you doing to build trust, educate, and encourage all Detroiters to utilize vaccines for themselves and their families? Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions. Thank you.

What is the total amount of property tax revenue reduced or foregone annually due to Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (NEZ) abatements, and can that be broken down by Homestead NEZ and NEZ New/Rehabilitation (NEZ-NR)? 2. Can the City provide a district-by-district breakdown of NEZ usage, including the number of properties receiving abatements, total tax expenditure, and average benefit by Council district? 3. Does the City currently have a tool, dashboard, or methodology to measure whether NEZ incentives are producing measurable economic benefit, including increased property values, housing production, rehabilitation activity, or long-term tax base growth? 4. If no formal evaluation exists, how does the City determine whether the public tax expenditure associated with NEZ abatements is achieving its intended policy goals? 5. How is the city evaluating whether NEZ benefits are being distributed equitably across neighborhoods and Council districts, rather than disproportionately benefiting already high-growth or higher-income areas? Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions. Thank you.

A State Budget Office report released May 29 shows the tax has brought in only ~$34 million to date, roughly 32% of the projected amount. Because these funds are distributed to local municipalities, we are seeking to understand how this shortfall affects Detroit in both FY26 and FY27.

A State Budget Office report released May 29 shows the tax has brought in only ~$34 million to date, roughly 32% of the projected amount. Because these funds are distributed to local municipalities, we are seeking to understand how this shortfall affects Detroit in both FY26 and FY27: 1. How was the FY27 budget built around the wholesale marijuana tax, and what projections from the House Fiscal Agency were used? 2. Based on actual revenue received to date, what is Detroit's revised projected allocation? 3. How does this impact the Major Roads Fund, DDOT operations, and any other applicable funds under the FY27 budget? 4. Has the administration revised its full-year revenue forecast for this tax, and if so, what is the updated projection? 5. Were contingency provisions built into the FY27 budget in the event this tax underperformed? If so, what are they? 6. What supplemental actions or budget amendments would be required to sustain DPW and DDOT operations if the shortfall continues? 7. Are there other state or federal funding streams that could offset this gap, and is the administration pursuing any? 8. Please share any other information you consider relevant. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office with any questions or thoughts. I look forward to the continued conversation. Coleman A.

Tate DATE: 15 May 2026 RE: DATA CENTER TAX REVENUE IMPACT ANALYSIS Please prepare a report analyzing how the recently enacted state legislation regarding data centers may impact potential tax revenue available to municipalities, specifically the City of Detroit. The report should evaluate how the law affects local property tax capture, abatements, exemptions, utility related revenues, and any other fiscal implications tied to the siting and operation of large-scale data centers within the City. Please also assess any long-term budgetary implications for Detroit, including how the legislation may influence future development negotiations, infrastructure demands, and the City’s ability to realize net fiscal benefit from data center projects.

Property Background The following is a summary of the property: • The property is vacant land located on the east side of Fourth St. between W. Willis and W. Alexandrine in Midtown. At the end of this report are maps of the location. • The property is vacant land zoned R2 Two- Family Residential. • The property is located in City Council District 6. Proposal The petitioner for the certificate is Ted and Laura Whiton who plan to build a new single-family house for their future primary residence. Robert Orf the general contractor, is a Detroit-based contractor and owner of Wicklow Windows & Weatherization. As summarized in the table below, the house would have 2 stories, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and cost a little less than $700,000 to build. The house would have no basement and energy efficient features. Plans for the house are attached for reference. Regarding parking, the house would have a rear parking pad and attached garage accessed from the rear alley. 1 Page 40 of 64 Regarding accessibility features, although a single-family home, the petitioner indicates the proposed house is ADA compliant; the first floor has a bedroom and full bath that are wheelchair accessible. The petitioner is not installing an outside ramp, but they indicate one could easily be added if needed. NEZ District The subject property has been confirmed as being within the boundaries of the Midtown NEZ, which was established by City Council in March 1999, and should be eligible for NEZ certificate under the State NEZ Act (Act 147 of 1992) as currently written. Below is a map showing the Midtown NEZ. This NEZ contains about 85.6 acres and was created from a request by Midtown Development Group Project. The petitioner submitted the NEZ certificate application dated March 31, 2026, to the City Clerk. The petitioner indicates a building permit was submitted in June 2026, but has not been issued yet. The NEZ Act (Act 147 of 1992) states the applications must be filed before (or within 6 months after) a building permit is issued. CPC staff have reviewed the application and recommend approval. Attached is a resolution for Your consideration. Please contact our office should you have any questions. Respectfully submitted, Marcell R. Todd, Jr., Director CPC Christopher J.
