All yeas Motion passes
The Agenda was adopted as presented.
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
1. TIFA informational presentation – Public Act 57
City Manager Moore explained the reporting requirement of Public Act 57 to which invitations
were sent via email to the Macomb County Clerk, City Clerk and President of the Macomb
Community College to attend the meeting and pose any questions necessary. These invitations
are required to be sent to any agency to which we capture taxes from.
Many of the transparency requirements are procedures the City had already implemented. The
reporting consists of posting the TIFA Plan, Minutes of meetings for the last five (5) years,
Budgets and Audits on the City’s website.
Administration touched on some of the TIFA projects that are in the budget such as the two (2)
Barn projects and the façade projects. Furthermore, Moore briefly described some of the
anticipated projects in the coming months.
2. In-Field Review of Parking Lot Drawings
Administration indicated that although the revised plans were not available for the meeting, a
schematic of the parking lot that defines the parking lot space ownership was provided. Moore
recommended this to be a TIFA project rather than an ownership project. By doing so, a written
agreement, construction easement, will be drafted which stipulates that owners must keep the
parking open to the public and cannot make alterations. Secondly, this would be a one (1) time
City reconstruction project whereas all future maintenance would be at the owner’s expense.

acquiring bids in January for construction to begin in the spring.
