MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GARZA TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM OCTOBER
1, 2019 AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED 2-0.
Discussion
RESOLUTION – ACT-15-2019; Parks & Recreation Acquire Parcel # 33-01-01-09-
179-081 (East of Edmore Park) as a park extension
Mr. Kaschinske informed the Committee that the property would be obtained from the
Ingham County Land Bank, and the house that sat on it has been demolished. The
property is adjacent to Edmore Park and along the river on the northern boundary.
Once acquiring it, the property will be contiguous with the current park land at Edmore
Park. This would bring ownership for the City from North Walnut to the east boundary.
The sale cost will be $1 with closing costs and funding through the parks acquisition
account. Mr. Kaschinske then submitted an aerial photo of the property. Council
Member Garza asked if there any intentions to develop on this area, and Mr.
Kaschinske confirmed there no current plans. Council Member Spadafore asked if the
property was in the flood plain and Mr. Kaschinske could not confirm, but stated he
DRAFT
would email information to the City Council staff before the Council meeting on
November 18, 2019.
MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GARZA TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE
ACT-15-2019 TO ACQUIRE PARCEL 33-01-09-179-081. MOTION CARRIED 2-0.
DISCUSSION – Solid Waste Policy for Registered Rentals
Council Member Spadafore distributed a memo from the OCA to the Committee, which was a
written opinion regarding trash service for property owners. The memo noted that under
current City ordinance, trash service is already required for all home owners. The other topic
in the memo was if there could be a City only collector, and the memo noted the City currently
authorizes other licensed trash haulers in the City. Mr. Kilpatrick asked if the City could
consider asking the landlords to state on their rental registration who the trash hauler is for
that property. Council Member Spadafore acknowledged the idea and would check into that
option, and added the City could require a year of receipts when they renew their registration.
Mr. Kilpatrick added to the discussion that the City could require the trash haulers to provide a
list of rental properties they service. Council Member Spadafore was encouraged by the
discussion and stated that at this time however, there is nothing the City can do without a
change in other ordinances. Council Member Garza asked Mr. Kilpatrick if the City is looking
to eliminate all other trash providers, and Mr. Kilpatrick could not confirm the Mayor’s plans,
but did state that there is a goal to have one truck on any given street at a time, opposed to
multiple haulers on any given street.
Other
Council Member Garza asked for an update on the speed humps from the last meeting on
Devonshire/Alpha and Ellendale. Mr. Kilpatrick confirmed all the studies were done and data
collected, he needs to look at the data once it is uploaded to see if it meets the criteria.
Council Member Garza then asked about the potential of a roundabout at South Dexter Drive
where it meets Cedar Brook, and then inquired when Miller, from Washington to Cedar would
be reconstructed, and was told by Mr. Kilpatrick that Miller is not in the road plan.
Mr. Kilpatrick informed the Committee that currently his office is looking at the uniform traffic
code with the traffic engineer on designating bike lanes on Mt. Hope but they might not need a
traffic control order to make that happen.
