APPROVAL OF AGENDA Moved by Koski, seconded by Romano, to approve the Agenda as presented. Yes: All. The motion carried. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER Mr. Vanderpool reported next Monday, October 12, 2015 is Columbus Day and all City offices and the 41-A District Court Building will be closed. He pointed out there would be no interruption in the refuse collection on either of these days. Mr. Vanderpool reported the DIA Away exhibition, "Think like an Artist" will be on display at the Farmer's Market on Thursday, October 8 from 2-7 p.m. Mr. Vanderpool reported the construction season is continuing. A video was shown at this time highlighting the various construction projects. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 2 Mr. Vanderpool reported on a new driveway snow removal program called Plowz and Mowz. He explained it is an on-demand service where residents would only pay for each individual service call. Mr. Vanderpool pointed out this new service is tailored exclusively for Sterling Heights. He introduced Mr. Andrew Englander, Co-founder of Plowz and Mowz. Mr. Andrew Englander, along with Mr. Dan Lopez, Director of Partnerships, explained Sterling Heights is the first municipality in the country to offer this service. Their goal is for residents of Sterling Heights to put away their snow shovels and access this site through their smart phones. A video was shown at this time highlighting the new program and how residents would access the site and request the services they desire. Residents without smart phones can access the app on the City's website to sign up for service on a particular day. Mr. Dan Lopez explained the program in more detail and how the City employees and residents could track the services. He continued with a video presentation explaining how meteorologist Russ Murley would provide weather updates with his precision weather service. Mr. Lopez pointed out the residents would only have to register their information one time, pick the services they want and pay for only what they request. The starting cost is $35.00 and they are offering a 10% discount coupon code for introductory offers, with other coupons from time to time. The code is Mitten 10. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 3 Mr. Steve Deon, Information Technology Manager, explained the use of the City's website to access Plowz and Mowz and showed the residents how to navigate through the website to access the services. Mr. Vanderpool explained the senior subscriber fairs that would be held and recognized the team of Plowz and Mowz for modifying their software to meet the needs of the residents of Sterling Heights. He also thanked the City Attorneys, Jeff Bahorski and Clark Andrews, for their legal review of this program, Amanda from his office for coordinating the meetings, Community Relations Director Bridget Doyle and the video team for putting together the videos and a special thanks to Steve Deon and his team. He thanked the entire City Council and Mayor Taylor and most especially Councilwoman Koski for pushing the Administration for a possible solution to assist the elderly residents. Councilman Romano questioned what would happen in the event that a major storm was predicted and a person called for snow removal, only to find the next morning that there was only a dusting. Mr. Englander responded no one would come if there wasn't enough snow. Councilman Romano questioned liability and who would be liable. Mr. Englander responded the individual contractors would have general liability insurance and Plowz and Mowz is named as an addition insured. Councilman Romano questioned the cost and whether it would be based on the number of inches of snow. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 4 Mr. Englander responded there would not be an increase in price because of extra snowfall, over and above the prediction. Councilman Romano inquired whether they require social security numbers and Mr. Englander indicated absolutely not. He pointed out all payments are made through the credit card companies and they don’t see any of that information. Councilwoman Schmidt is very excited about this program and appreciates their flexibility and accommodating some of the City's custom needs. She looks forward to partnering with them. Councilman Skrzyniarz added that a program like this is a good example of why a strategic plan is important and a way for the City to be innovative. He thanked Councilwoman Koski for her leadership on this program. Councilwoman Koski asked for a clarification on the procedure as it relates to snow emergencies and the removal of cars from the streets. Mr. Englander responded the consumer is in control throughout the entire process and residents would know the exact time the provider is going to be at their residence. He also pointed out whenever a resident calls their office, they will get a live person, no matter what time it is. Councilwoman Koski stated they are a dream come true and she thanks them so much. Councilman Shannon thanked them for providing this service to Sterling Heights. He inquired whether an individual small business could get involved with Plowz and Mowz. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 5 Mr. Englander stated this has to be a provider that really wants to grow their business. It is not for every provider. Councilman Shannon inquired the availability of on-demand service during a major snowstorm. Mr. Englander responded they know how to do it through route density. Councilwoman Ziarko stated this a great idea and she likes the fact that residents who are by themselves could actually be like a third party biller. The most important part is for residents to register with their credit cards. Mayor Taylor stated he is a Plowz and Mowz customer and has used them for lawn mowing to see how the service would work. He is excited for Sterling Heights to be the first City in the Country to have this service and stated it is a perfect innovation between public/private partnership and he is extremely proud. Mayor Taylor thanked Mr. Vanderpool and Councilwoman Koski. PRESENTATION Police Chief Michael Reese introduced the following two individuals who have recently joined the Sterling Heights Police Department and performed the swearing-in ceremony: Jesse Wilson and Anthony Byrd Chief Reese thanked the City Administration and the City Council for their continued support of the Police Department. Mayor Taylor welcomed the new officers and thanked the residents who stepped up and voiced their concern for more police and fire personnel. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 6 Beautification Commission Chairperson Gary Isom explained the role of the Beautification Commission and how they select the recipients of the awards.

He pointed out Mr. Maroki was an employee of the restaurant since 2010 and since November of 2012, he has been the on-site restaurant manager. In April of 2015, Mr. Maroki purchased 50% ownership.

Mayor Taylor addressed smart meters and stated he does have one on his home and he believes most of the City Council members do also. He discussed the fact that the Michigan Public Service Commission has the power to regulate DTE; the City has no authority. REPORTS FROM CITY ADMINISTRATION AND CITY COUNCIL Mr. Vanderpool reinforced the fact that the City has no power to regulate smart meters. The Michigan Public Service Commission has sole control and discretion over regulatory controls of smart meters. Mr. Vanderpool responded in regard to the Riverland Bridge repairs, it is a concern and he wishes the City could get it done quicker. They are going through the process and getting engineering opinions on it. He pointed out it is not an emergency situation, so repairs will not be done this year. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 18 Mr. Vanderpool responded in regard to sidewalks on 18 Mile Road, they are holding off on that for now because the County may improve that road in the near future. Mr. Vanderpool responded to Ms. Godfrey about land acquisition across the street from City Hall and stated the City has purchased property across the street pursuant to the Master Plan for potential use at a future time. There was no report from Mr. Bahorski at this time. Councilman Shannon pointed out the trash hauling contract with Waste Management will be expiring soon and the City has the opportunity to continue the contract for another two years or take the opportunity to put the contract out for an open bid and save the City serious money. He believes this contract should be put out for an open bid to get the best service for the residents at the lowest cost. Moved by Shannon, seconded by Koski, RESOLVED, to request City Administration prepare the specs that we as a City will require for an open bid of the waste hauling contract and meet with members of Council to solicit our opinions on what should be included in the bid and to not exercise our option of extending Waste Management's contract for one or two years. Councilwoman Koski agreed that it is the City Council's fiduciary responsibility to make sure the residents are getting the best possible price. She believes Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 19 Council should provide their input to the City Manager and residents should have the option to either use the 96 gallon containers or not use them. Councilwoman Ziarko expressed concern with going out for bids at this time because we have an interim department head. She would like to discuss some of the specs with the residents also before we go out for bids. She wanted to see the City Council extend the contract with Waste Management for one more year before we decide to go out for open bids. Councilwoman Ziarko discussed the possibility of going to Waste Management and telling them we could save $400,000 by going out for bids and see if they can help the City save money right away. Mr. Vanderpool responded the City Attorney would have to review the contract more closely to determine if that would be an option, Councilwoman Schmidt agrees with Councilwoman Ziarko and doesn't want to rush into anything at this time. She stated she has a lot of concerns and ideas on what she wants to see in the bid specs. The large containers are one of her major concerns and she doesn't believe that should ever be mandatory. Councilwoman Schmidt would also like to see the contract with Waste Management extended for one more year. Councilman Romano stated everyone wants to save money, but he doesn't believe it is fair to ask all the residents to recycle or have a 96 gallon container. He wanted to get input from the residents. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 20 Councilman Romano saw Mr. Greve from Waste Management in the audience and asked him what his title is with the company. Mr. Pat Greve responded he is the public sector representative for Waste Management. Councilman Romano asked Mr. Greve to explain what this means. Mr. Greve responded he is the liaison between Waste Management and the City of Sterling Heights. Councilman Romano asked how long Mr. Greve has been with Waste Management and he responded over a decade and possibly two decades. Councilman Romano discussed how a person would contact them. Mr. Greve responded sometimes they call him directly and there is a customer call center that residents could utilize. Councilman Romano questioned the number of Sterling Heights customers that recycle. Mr. Greve responded between 5200 and 5500. Councilman Romano stated to Mr. Greve that they are talking about saving money and the City is thinking about sending this out for bids. He inquired whether Waste Management would be willing to cut their yearly cost by $500,000 if the City extends their contract for another year. Mr. Greve responded he doesn't have that authority, but would be happy to pass that along to the people that make that decision. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 21 Councilman Romano stated the City Council has another meeting on October 20th and he inquired whether Mr. Greve could get Waste Management to open their contract and cut it by $500,000 if the maker of the motion would be willing to extend their contract for one more year. Councilman Skrzyniarz agrees with the specs and doesn't believe there would be a massive amount of residents crying out for a 96 gallon container. He stated he would like to review the recycling as well. Councilman Skrzyniarz doesn't believe the motion on the floor addresses the specs. It is more about the process of doing an open bid or a closed bid. He would support an open bid because the market conditions are better than they were six years ago. He believes if Waste Management is going to renegotiate a contract to give us a better rate now, they will offer that same rate or better in an open competition. He would be willing to consider the specs from six years ago with the services we have and put them out now for bids and get them back before December. He stated if this is not what the majority of the City Council wants, he thinks we should move forward with the motion. Mayor Taylor stated the City did award the bid in 2010 to Waste Management for a five-year contract. There were three one-year options and the City utilized one option for additional services. He believes this should be discussed at a public meeting to get residents' input. He wants to see it go out for competitive bid with input from the public. Mayor Taylor stated the motion on the table is simply to Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, October 6, 2015 Page 22 give direction to the Administration to continue preparing the specs and meet with the City Council to bring the specs to a vote in the future. Councilman Shannon pointed out he did not mention anything about mandatory recycling or 96 gallon containers. He reread his motion into the record: Requesting that City Administration prepare the specs that we as a City would require for an open bid of the waste hauling contract and meet with members of Council to solicit our opinions on what should be included in the bid and to not exercise our option of extending Waste Management's contract for one or two years. Roll call vote: Yes: Shannon, Koski, Skrzyniarz, Taylor. No: Romano, Schmidt, Ziarko. The motion carried. ADJOURN Moved by Ziarko, seconded by Romano, to adjourn the meeting. Yes: All. The motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 11:11 p.m. MARK CARUFEL, City Clerk
