City Council

CITY OF STERLING HEIGHTS MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2012 IN CITY HALL Mayor Richard J. Notte called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Mayor Notte led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Walter C. Blessed, City Clerk, gave the Invocation.

Also Present: Mark D. Vanderpool, City Manager; Jeffrey Bahorski, City Attorney; Walter C. Blessed, City Clerk; Robin Palazzolo, Recording Secretary. Mayor Notte announced Councilwoman Schmidt is unable to attend tonight’s meeting due to her son’s confirmation. She did have some questions that were answered by administration and she will watch the meeting tomorrow. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Moved by Koski, seconded by Romano, to approve the Agenda, as amended. Councilman Smith moved Consent Agenda Item D to Consideration Item 2-A. Yes: Koski, Romano, Notte, Smith, Taylor, Ziarko. Absent: Schmidt. The motion carried. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER Mr. Vanderpool reported that the City’s Sterling Heights Initiative for Neighborhood Excellence (SHINE) Program has received a $4,000 grant from the National Home Depot Foundation. The grant will cover labor and tool costs through Home Depot to be used on this spring’s Pride & SHINE Day, which is scheduled for Saturday, May 5th. We are looking forward to seeing as many volunteers as possible. For more information, please contact the Community Relations Department at 586-446-CITY. Mr. Vanderpool reported on an update on the Pet Vaccination Clinic recently held at the Recreation Center. 439 pets received at least one of the many services that All About Animals offered. For every $10 collected, $1 was set aside for subsidizing spay/neuter services for Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 2 Sterling Heights residents that need financial assistance and for at risk animals collected by Animal Control. Mr. Vanderpool reported on the Southeast Michigan Council of Government’s (SEMCOG) Macomb County 2040 Forecast Summary. In this summary, SEMCOG indicates a steady increase in population, households, and employment for Sterling Heights. In the next eight years, Sterling Heights is expected to become the 3rd largest city in Michigan with a larger population than the City of Warren. For more information, please visit their website at www.semcog.org. Mr. Vanderpool reported on legislation that was introduced today to the State Legislature to reduce business taxes up to $1.2 billion by eliminating the Personal Property Tax (PPT). PPT is paid only by businesses on equipment and machinery. The tax is administered and collected by local governments, including Sterling Heights. None of the funds go to Lansing for the State budget; nevertheless, the State is proposing to eliminate it. PPT revenue is used for police and fire protection, library services, senior citizen services, road and bridge repairs, etc. This will have a devastating impact on cities throughout the State. If the PPT is eliminated, cities will have to cut millions more from their budgets in the form of fewer police and firefighters, since cities have already cut everywhere else. Alternatively, cities will have to increase taxes, which will place an unfair burden on residential property owners. Sterling Heights will lose almost $8 million annually if the PPT is eliminated. Cumulatively, Sterling Heights will lose $35 million over the next nine years. The State has indicated that some of the revenue may be replaced, but there are no guarantees. Residents who are concerned about further service reductions should contact State Senator Tory Rocca, Representative Jon Switalski, and Representative Jeff Farrington and express opposition to cutting revenue to cities any further without a guaranteed replacement. PRESENTATION Councilwoman Koski presented the Nice Neighbor Award to Mr. Paul McAllister in recognition of his efforts to assist the community and contributions in making Sterling Heights’ overall quality of life second to none. Sterling Heights Police Chief Michael Reese presented Citizen Citation Awards to Mr. Dino Juncevic, Ms. Valentina Djokic, and Ms. Kara Braniecki in recognition of their extraordinary Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 3 contributions when they were called upon in an emergency situation. Ms. Djokic and Ms. Braniecki were unable to attend tonight’s meeting. Beautification Chairperson Aaron Wawrzyniak introduced the members of the Beautification Commission in attendance: Jennifer Abed, Steve Duncan, Gary Isom, and Ruthann Schinzing. They presented the 27th commemorative Tree City USA flag to the Mayor and City Council. Moved by Romano, seconded by Ziarko, RESOLVED, to accept the commemorative 2011 flag being presented in recognition of the City of Sterling Heights’ 27th consecutive designation as a Tree City USA and its outstanding commitment to an effective community forestry program in conjunction with our annual observance of Arbor Day, April 27, 2012. Yes: Romano, Ziarko, Koski, Notte, Smith, Taylor. Absent: Schmidt. The motion carried. CONSENT AGENDA 1. Moved by Koski, seconded by Romano, RESOLVED, to approve the Consent Agenda: A.

RESOLVED, to adopt the resolution designating May 6th to May 12th, 2012 as Arson Awareness Week: Prevent Youth Fire-setting in the city of Sterling Heights. RESOLUTION A resolution of the City Council to bring attention to and combat the problem of juvenile arson by designating May 6th through May 12th, 2012 as Arson Awareness Week: Prevent Youth Fire-setting Arson is a serious crime that affects all of us and only can be stopped when we realize the severe damage it causes to our state and individual communities; Arson fires erode the local tax base ad cause a severe loss to our local neighborhoods and commercial and industrial districts and can destroy property and the security of employment; Arson fires can disrupt our educational systems, destroy irreplaceable historical buildings and artifacts, render natural resources useless for long periods of time, and inflict countless human deaths and injuries; According to the National Fire Protection Association, fires started through child play accounted for an average of 56,300 fires with associated losses of 110 civilian deaths, 880 civilian injuries, and $286 million in direct property damage per year between 2005 - 2009; and, The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Program Report states that juveniles (persons under age 18) accounted for roughly 46% of arson arrests between 2005 - 2010. In 2010 alone, 40% of arson arrests involved juveniles, with 47.6% of the juvenile arrestees under 16 years of age; and, Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 4 The Michigan Arson Prevention Committee works to combat the problem of arson through education and public information programs and the tip-reward program that aids in the arrest of approximately 30 arsonists each year; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, to designate the week of May 6th through May 12th, 2012 as Arson Awareness Week: Prevent Youth Fire-setting in the city of Sterling Heights and urges all citizens to help support the efforts of the police and fire departments in preventing arson. Dated this 17th day of April, 2012. WALTER C. BLESSED, City Clerk D. Moved to Consideration Item 2-A. E. RESOLVED, to split the award of the bid for various sign materials for the Department of Public Works to the vendors recommended in the Staff Report and at the unit prices bid, for a two-year period. F. RESOLVED, to award the bid for mowing and maintenance of municipal sites to Green Meadows Lawnscape, Inc., 47515 Ryan Rd., Shelby Township, MI 48317 for the period of April 17, 2012 through December 31, 2014 at the unit prices bid. G. RESOLVED, to purchase two police investigative vehicles at a total cost of $34,854.80. Yes: Koski, Romano, Notte, Smith, Taylor, Ziarko. Absent: Schmidt. The motion carried. CONSIDERATION 2. Mr. John Carlin introduced Mr. John Sherley with AMC Theater in Kansas City, and Mr. John Bugaija, General Manager of AMC Forum 30, located on Mound Road and M-59. Mr. Sherley made a presentation, stating there has been a radical change in what people consider a movie theater to be. One of the trends in the industry is to have a bar. He explained MacGuffins bar and lounge concept. They currently have 28 facilities licensed to serve alcoholic beverages, with another 20 liquor license applications pending. All employees receive TIPS training. A person must be at least 21 years of age to approach the bar. Everyone is carded; if that person does not have their identification with them, they will not be served alcohol. They follow very strict alcohol recipes with no variations. He thanked Council for allowing him to give this overview tonight. Mr. Carlin stated over the past 10 years, AMC has only received one violation. Mr. Harry Marchlones and Mr. Joseph Rimarcik discussed this item. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 5 Moved by Romano, seconded by Koski, RESOLVED, to ask the applicant, American Multi- Cinema, Inc., 44681 Mound, to proceed with the submitted plans so that a more detailed and complete proposal may be heard by the council at a later date; provided however, that this action by the council shall not be interpreted to mean approval of the application or the general details of the proposal. Councilman Romano inquired what is the average age of the ushers in the theaters, will they be selling beer and liquor, can a person only purchase one drink at a time, how many bartenders will be on staff, have they ever considered hours for adults only, what time do they stop selling alcohol and beer, and what are the fees for purchasing alcohol and beer. He has concerns regarding alcohol being served all day and having ushers that are only 18 years of age. Councilwoman Koski inquired if a parent comes in with children, are they allowed to bring the children into the bar area, how is the bar area monitored, will someone be there to ask to see identification, will someone be stationed in each theater, how will they prevent a child from drinking someone’s drink. She also has concerns with an 18 year old usher telling a 24 year old to quiet down. Councilwoman Ziarko stated a 30 year old person might want to have a glass of wine and watch movie, while a 62 year old might not be interested in this. She believes the reason their numbers are down is because of the economy and AMC’s high prices. She has concerns regarding the hours of operation and inquired to Chief Reese regarding the standard hours at a bar. She stated she is not in favor of the hours. She also inquired regarding prepackaged beer and wine, are there any plans to remodel AMC Forum 30, their monitoring system as far as one drink per person and what is to keep you from passing that drink down to someone under age. She thinks there is a lack of control there. She requested AMC provide Council with a list of other locations in which AMC has a bar. Councilman Taylor inquired how many MacGuffins is AMC operating across the country right now, in how many different states, do they have to maintain higher liability insurance for the AMC’s that have a MacGuffins located in it, expand how this came about since 1997, is there any evidence that their bartenders don’t seem to see repeat customers, and have they had any incidents in their locations over the past years with people getting drunk, etc. He stated he is having a hard time distinguishing this from a baseball game. He stated if I am a parent, I Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 6 would have to leave my children somewhere to go to the bar. He also has concerns regarding the possibility of a 21 year old purchasing drinks and handing them off to a minor. He stated he is willing to give AMC the benefit of the doubt. He would like to see the documentation that backs up AMC’s good reputation. Roll call vote: Yes: Romano, Koski, Notte, Taylor, Ziarko. No: Smith. Absent: Schmidt. The motion carried. 2-A. Item D from the Consent Agenda. Moved by Taylor, seconded by Ziarko, RESOLVED, to adopt the resolution in support of the application by the City of Sterling Heights for fiscal year 2015 Local Bridge Program Funding for the Seventeen Mile Road Bridge over the Conrail Railroad. Councilman Smith inquired as to how we can have a funding bill with no mention of the amount of funding in the backup. If we are voting to spend money, he would like to have a discussion with the head of that department regarding this item. He stated he is against this. Councilman Taylor stated based on the backup information this is not a spending bill. There is federal funding available. The Engineering Department asked for approval to send in an application to see if we will quality for funds that are available three years down the road. He believes we need to spend more money on our infrastructure. He is in favor of this. ~ RESOLUTION ~ A resolution in support of the application by the city of Sterling Heights for Local Bridge Program Funds to facilitate the rehabilitation of the 17 Mile Road Bridge over the Conrail Railroad • The city of Sterling Heights is a large municipality whose population according to the U.S. Census in 2010 is 129,699; • The 17 Mile Road Bridge over the Conrail Railroad is located east of Mound Road and presently serves the heavy manufacturing, commercial, and residential communities of the surrounding area. The economic importance of this structure is significant; • When originally built in 1981, the average daily traffic was 16,500 vehicles per day, whereas today's average daily traffic is 22,720 vehicles per day; • The 17 Mile Road Bridge over the Conrail Railroad has sustained a significant amount of deterioration over the past thirty (30) years, and as noted during recent inspections, the rate of deterioration in the past several years has increased significantly. Recent inspection observations raise concern about the remaining structural integrity of the structure; • Large manufacturing facilities, a railroad staging yard and a public golf course all abut the bridge property and use this bridge as a vital link to the surrounding primary urban collector roads and interstate freeways. Additionally, Fire Station #1, several elementary and high schools and the nearby Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 7 post office complex all utilize this bridge as their main east-west thoroughfare through the City of Sterling Heights; and, • Heavier manufacturing and emergency response vehicles must now utilize detour routes as a result of the recently imposed legal load limit restrictions on this bridge. Now, Therefore, Be it resolved that the Sterling Heights City Council, on behalf of its residents and the heavy manufacturing and commercial concerns in the immediate vicinity, does hereby endorse and support the application to secure Local Bridge Program Funds for the rehabilitation of the 17 Mile Road Bridge over Conrail Railroad and the improvements to the roadways in the vicinity of the bridge. Dated this 17th day of April, 2012. Ayes: Taylor, Ziarko, Koski, Notte, Romano. Nays: Smith. Absent: Schmidt. WALTER C. BLESSED, City Clerk Roll call vote: Yes: Taylor, Ziarko, Koski, Notte, Romano. No: Smith. Absent: Schmidt. The motion carried. BUDGET WORKSHOP DISCUSSION 3. City Administration Department Police Department Mr. Vanderpool stated we have two departments giving presentations this evening. He noted per Councilwoman Koski’s request, we have prepared a budget amendment to include funding for the Gardner Street project. City Council will vote on this amendment this evening, and any additional amendments should be announced this evening, as well. Mr. Brian Baker, Budget and Finance Director, gave an overview of the two departments that would be covered this evening, beginning with the City Administration Department. This department includes 47 full-time employees and 6 part-time employees. There has been a 41% staffing reduction in this department. He explained this department’s Funding Level Summary, stating the total budget for City Administration is less than 9% of the total general fund budget. The budget for next year decreased by 5.4%, or a little over $404,000. Mr. Baker explained the Police Department is the largest City Department with almost 40% of the budget. There are 228 employees total, comprised of 192 full-time employees and 36 part- time employees. He explained the Police Department’s Funding Level Summary. The budget for next year decreased by 0.6%. Funding of five police officer positions has been eliminated, Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 8 saving nearly $400,000, in addition to long-term legacy costs. The budget assumes we achieved significant wage and benefit concessions from all employees in this department. Some of these savings have not yet been achieved this year. As a result, we are tracking over budget; however, some of that has been off-set by attrition savings. In terms of performance measurements, the City’s crime rate has decreased for the past 5 years with regards to violent crimes and property crimes. The City continues to rank favorably in low crime stats as compared to other cities across the country. The crime rate is at a 10 year low. Additionally, traffic accidents have decreased. Traffic violations were down last fiscal year by nearly 4,300 tickets and are on track to decline by another 5,700 tickets this current fiscal year. Nearly 30% fewer tickets have been issued. Mr. Walter Blessed, City Clerk/Assistant City Manager, presented the proposed Strategic Plan for the Facilities Maintenance Department. He discussed the outsourcing of custodial services, stating the Facilities Maintenance Manager, five full-time custodians, and eight part-time custodians will be laid off beginning July 1, 2012. Cleaning services will be outsourced to a private contractor. The bid process is scheduled to be complete by early May, with the award of the bid in late May. Employees of the contractor used must pass a background investigation and he stated what the responsibilities of the contractor would be. He stated the City is adopting a proven model and provided numerous examples of metro Detroit communities, courts, and schools that have outsourced cleaning services. The net savings equates to approximately $300,000. The outsourcing of custodial services will not impact service delivery to our customers – the residents. Ms. Jennifer Varney, City Treasurer, stated beginning the summer of 2012, the City will offer residents the opportunity to pay their property taxes on-line through Comerica Easy Pay. She explained the current payment options for water bills and property tax payments. Comerica Easy Pay allows on-line payments directly from a checking or savings account. Comerica Easy Pay is accessible from the City website and is processed by Comerica on a secure website. She stated it is a simple process and the taxpayer receives an instant confirmation number and e-mail receipt. The City will receive a daily file to post to taxpayer accounts. Taxpayers will find it convenient, easy, and for those who like to pay on or close to the due date, they can avoid long lines at City Hall. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 9 Police Chief Michael Reese stated this year’s budget will have the most significant changes in the history of the police department. While reduction of staffing has impacted the Police Department, we will continue to protect our core services, such as street level services and investigation of crimes. The FBI Uniform Crime Report continues to rank Sterling Heights as the safest large city in Michigan, along with being one of the safest cities in the country. With the proposed elimination of 56 officers by 2016, all proactive programs in the Police Department will be eliminated. These cuts will have a negative impact on the City’s crime rate and hamper the department’s ability to keep crime rates down. New patrol strategies and technology will be implemented in an attempt to keep our safest city status in place. The elimination of the following positions will be proposed this year: One Captain, five Police Officers, one Emergency Manager, one Lab Technician, one Technical Secretary, and the elimination of the Training Consortium with Macomb Community College. Chief Reese provided an update on some new programs. He hopes to put the On-Line Reporting Program in place this summer. He explained the benefits of this program for both the Police Department and the residents of Sterling Heights. Some of the example of incidents that can be filed on-line are lost property, theft, vandalism, vehicle break ins, and harassing phone calls. The On-Line Purchase of Accident Reports will also be available. Additionally, he explained a new Electronic Pawning/Precious Metal Reporting System Program. Furthermore, to be proactive in the reduction of crime, crashes, and traffic violations in our community, specifically among teenagers, the Police Department will be participating in the Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) Program. The Sterling Heights Police Department, Macomb County Sheriff’s Department, and the Michigan State Police will be working on this together. Michigan was the only state awarded a DDACTS federal grant, with Sterling Heights being the only municipality participating in this grant. Ms. Kasey Green, Economic Development Manager, provided update on the Economic Development Strategy as it relates to why business retention work matters. She stated 85% of growth comes from existing businesses. In Sterling Heights, we strive to be a leader in innovation. Our retention work focuses on taking care of our customers. Sterling Heights has an exceptional industrial vacancy rate of 5.2%. The number of companies in Sterling Heights is approximately 4,200. Some key retention successes are the Chrysler Sterling Heights Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 10 Assembly Plant, Macomb Pipe, and InfiChem Polymers. Business retention work is comprised of business outreach and relationship building, along with solidifying relationships with ongoing engagement and support. She provided an example of a project from beginning to end, including its introduction, visits, follow-up, due diligence, executing the deal, and service after the sale. Ms. Denice Gerstenberg, Business Development Manager, provided an update on the events at Velocity. She stated Velocity is home to the Sterling Heights Economic Development Team, the Macomb-OU INCubator, the Michigan Defense Center, the Oakland University Pawley Lean Institute, the Oakland University Center for Robotics and Unmanned Systems, the Michigan SBTDC, and the economic development staff for Macomb County. Our wealth of on-site resources provides an exceptional range of opportunities for businesses to obtain support through events, training, networking sessions, and information seminars. We are collaborating on a regular basis with all of our partners to bring events to Velocity that serve the business community. Since Velocity’s launch in October of 2011, over 1,400 people have attended events at Velocity. She also shared some events being held at Velocity in April. For more information, please visit www.velocitymacomb.net. Mayor Notte opened the discussion to the audience at this time. Mr. Giulio Russo spoke regarding small businesses, public safety, tax breaks, and outsourcing. Mr. Tom Klausha spoke regarding employee cuts, donations, security, and crime rates. Mr. Harry Marchlones spoke regarding concessions, tax millage, property values, police force, and survey. Mr. Jeffrey Norgrove spoke regarding lay-offs, raising fines for ticket prices, and tax increases. Mr. Joseph Rimarcik spoke regarding the self-insurance fund, general employee pension fund, managing money, police and fire pension, tax increase, and police and fire department budgets. Mr. Wally Scott spoke regarding police department lay-offs. Mr. George Hamzik spoke regarding the AMC liquor license transfer, tax increases, and election machines. Mr. Fred Gibson spoke regarding police and fire budgets, lay-offs, and legacy costs. Mr. Richard Heins spoke regarding police lay-offs, negotiations, and public safety. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 11 Councilman Smith spoke regarding the personal property tax elimination, 10 years of spending, income, patrolmen, labor attorney, concessions, pension fund, stock market, revenue sharing, casino’s, and a survey. He stated our options are to cut services and raise taxes, but he believes we should get the cost of labor in line with reality. Councilman Taylor inquired to Chief Reese to speak regarding the recent police department incident, the over-lap schedule, and eight hour shifts versus ten hour shifts. Mr. Vanderpool stated in our four-year plan, we will have to go down an additional 163 positions, which means we still have over 100 positions to go. These will be done through attrition and lay-offs. Councilman Taylor inquired to Chief Reese to speak more regarding the impact of losing these police officer positions, detective response time regarding non-violent crimes, accident prevention and traffic safety bureau, follow up investigations regarding violent crimes, and on- line reporting. He believes we have made many strides in the past year. He spoke regarding pensions, response times, and cuts. He doesn’t like the idea of seeing our police department gutted just to say we are saving a little money. He spoke regarding a millage increase and stated he encourages residents to contact him regarding this issue. Councilwoman Koski inquired to Mr. Baker to speak regarding the following: Step-increases every six months regarding wages for new police officers, step-increases every six months regarding wages for the Human Resources (HR) Director and the HR Administrative Assistant, what percent are these increases and when will they take place, is there a cost for the Macomb- OU INCubator to the City, and the Police and Fire Pension Fund. Councilwoman Ziarko stated this is a very difficult situation. She inquired to Chief Reese if there were five other officers that were leaving the police department due to retirements, etc., would these five officers that are slated to be laid off still be laid off. We will not be able to run the City of Sterling Heights with 56 fewer police officers. She stated she does not want taxes to go up. She inquired to Mr. Vanderpool if the City has looked at the possibility of hiring interns to alleviate some of the personnel losses in the departments, and if severance packages are accepted, will employees be able to return to work at the City of Sterling Heights at a later date. She inquired to Mr. Blessed to explain the purpose of the Auto-Mark machine. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 12 She inquired to Chief Reese if working three-eight hour shifts is a benefit to the City. She believes we need some kind of pension reform. Councilman Romano stated regarding on-line reporting he doesn’t like the idea of it and doesn’t think it is fair to the residents. He stated City Council is the administration and they are making decisions that will impact the lives of many people. He stated the City needs to come up with a number, as far as a millage increase is concerned, in order to continue to maintain City services. This Council has hard decisions to make. His hope is the economy gets better, but we have to do what we have to do now. He stated we are going to get through this. Mayor Notte stated we heard a lot of discussion tonight. There will be three more budget meetings. There is not enough money to go around. We need some revenue replacement down the line. As far as the proposed lay-offs of 27 positions, he doesn’t know the answer. No one knows where we will end up on May 8th, but we can’t afford now what we negotiated years ago. We have to work together and hopefully we will survive. Budget Amendment. Motion #1: Moved by Koski, seconded by Notte, RESOLVED, to increase the 2012/2013 Proposed Budget in the Local Road Fund by $284,000 in order to pave Gardner Street. $53,000 is the City’s share of the project and property owners would pay the remaining $231,000 through special assessment. Councilwoman Koski stated the majority of the residents on Gardner Street asked if we would consider this amendment. Councilman Smith stated he believes if the residents of Gardner Street want Gardner Street paved, the home owners should pay 100% of the cost and we should do it right. Councilman Taylor stated he is not inclined to go along with this. What we are dealing with is 30 households where 20 want it, but 10 don’t. He is not prepared right now to appropriate this money in the budget. He would like the Department of Public Works to tell Council how much money the City is paying right now to maintain the gravel road. He would like to see the comparison of maintaining the current gravel road versus paving the road. He would like for the residents that are not in favor of this to contact him. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Page 13 Mayor Notte stated the majority of the residents on Gardner Street want this street black topped and he is in favor of this.
