City Manager Gibbons,
As part of the renovation, Carpentry is required for completion of the exterior of the fire station. This is the last
element remaining from bid pack 1 for the exterior of the station. The carpentry portion of the bid was relisted
to receive bids that adhered to compliance with the bid requirements and specifications. Two bids were received
prior to closing on October 23, 2025. Based upon the review and consultation with the project management
company, we recommend awarding Multi Construction Services per bid results based on pricing, qualifications,
crew size, and ability to conform to project timelines.
Thank you for consideration in this matter.

SUBJECT: Annual Dance Express Costume Purchase
Dance Express was established in 1982 and continues to thrive at the new Radcliff Center. The program offers affordable
dance instruction and a high-quality annual recital for students ranging from age 3 through adult, from beginner to
advanced levels. Classes are offered in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Musical Theater, and Pointe. Most
classes meet once per week in 10-week sessions, and the program operates three sessions per year from September
through June.
This year, Dance Express is offering 52 classes with over 300 students enrolled. Each class selects unique costumes, and
on average we order between 500 and 600 costumes each year. Dance Express has maintained a long-standing purchasing
arrangement with Weissman Costumes for over 20 years. This is a sole-source purchase due to program-specific needs.
Weissman is the only vendor that provides costume sizing that appropriately accommodates the range of body types in our
student group. Costume selections also vary based on each class routine and theme, resulting in smaller quantities of many
different styles. On average, we intend to order approximately 528 costumes in total, with no more than 14 of any single
costume style.
This purchase is a pass-through cost within the program. Families have already received order forms and have been
paying for their costumes based on the catalog pricing provided by Weissman. Before finalizing the purchase, staff will
reconcile all payments received with the estimate and order details from Weissman to ensure accuracy.
Due to the short turnaround time needed to finalize costume selections and confirm sizes with teachers and parents, we
will not have the final order total or estimate available before the agenda is published. Once the order is placed, the
process of receiving the invoice, issuing payment through Accounts Payable, and submitting the check to the vendor all
occurs within approximately one week. This expedited timeline is necessary to ensure costumes arrive in time for fittings
and any needed adjustments before the recitals in June. This is why no estimate is attached, and we are requesting
authorization to sign up to $30,000, with the understanding this is a pass-through cost to the families.
Recommended Action:
To allow the Interim Parks and Recreation director to sign the invoice with Weissman Costumes in an amount
not to exceed $30,000.00.
Thank You for the consideration,
Zachary King
Interim Parks Director

Each year, Dance Express holds a fundraiser to help offset operational costs for the program. Students who choose to
participate can earn incentives such as free recital tickets, spirit wear, dance photos, and costumes. This fundraiser has
been a long-standing tradition within the program.
Families sell World’s Finest Chocolate by the box, with each candy bar sold for $2. The program receives 40% of all
chocolate sales as revenue. To date, this fundraiser has raised $8,510 and is projected to total approximately $10,300 once
all box sales are collected from participating families.
World’s Finest Chocolate was selected as the vendor after submitting the lowest bid among three companies and is the
only vendor that allows us to return unopened boxes, reducing financial risk for both families and the program.+

TO: Tim Gibbons, City Manager
FROM: Zachary King, Interim Director
SUBJECT: City Fee Schedule Amendment – Parks & Recreation
The following fee schedule recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission includes several updates for the
Parks and Recreation Department.
Radcliff Room Rentals
The Parks Commission recommends updating the Radcliff Center room rental rates to a three-tier pricing structure for
weekday rentals: $30/hour, $40/hour, and $80/hour. Additional pricing adjustments would apply for non-residents,
Saturday rentals, and after-hours use. This tiered model provides a consistent and easy-to-understand structure for both
staff and residents while offering more rental options within similar price ranges. It also improves scheduling flexibility
and availability throughout the facility.
• Tier 1 ($30/hour) – Patio, Courtyard, and Game Room
• Tier 2 ($40/hour) – Classrooms, Lounge, Heritage Room, Movie Theatre, and Card Room
• Tier 3 ($80/hour) – Gymnasium, E-Sports Room, and Spaceport
The Computer Lab has been removed from the rental list since it is no longer available in the building.
Two new parking lot rental options are also recommended. The first is a Parking Lot Rental (per square foot, per month)
intended for utility companies needing temporary staging space while working in Garden City or Westland. The second is
a South Parking Lot Rental for single-event use, responding to requests for outdoor craft fairs, flea markets, and similar
activities.
Memberships
Several adjustments and additions are recommended for Fitness Room memberships. With the recent Wayne County
APRA Grant, the former Senior Fitness Room has been expanded into a full fitness space for all ages, now featuring free
weights, a Smith machine, and additional equipment in a larger space. As a result, the department has seen growing
interest from adults and teens wishing to use the facility.
Adult drop-in passes have already been successful, and the proposed membership structure formalizes resident and non-
resident membership options for both adults and teens.
The Parks & Recreation Commission believes these rates are fair and reasonable based on the facilities offered and that
they remain comparable to pricing at other recreation centers in the surrounding area. The Commission approved the
attached fee schedule at two different meetings, October & September with unanimous support at each meeting.
Recommended Action:
To amend the City Comprehensive Fee Schedule as presented for the Parks and Recreation Department.
Thank You for the consideration,
Zachary King
Interim Parks Director
