City Council

CITY OF STERLING HEIGHTS MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 2020 IN CITY HALL 1. Mayor Taylor called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. 2. Mayor Taylor led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Melanie D. Ryska, City Clerk, gave the Invocation. 3. Council Members present at roll call: Deanna Koski, Maria G. Schmidt, Liz Sierawski, Michael C. Taylor, Henry Yanez, Barbara A. Ziarko. Absent: Michael V. Radtke Jr. Also Present: Mark Vanderpool, City Manager; Marc D. Kaszubski, City Attorney; Melanie D. Ryska, City Clerk; Carol Sobosky, Recording Secretary. 4. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Moved by Koski, seconded by Ziarko, RESOLVED, to approve the agenda as presented. Yes: All. The motion carried. Mayor Taylor explained that Councilman Radtke is absent tonight because he is at work conference. Mayor Taylor announced the tragic and sad news of the passing of Sterling Heights Fire Department’s Lieutenant Lorne Farrell, who was in Florida with his family on Sunday afternoon, March 1, when he collapsed while playing pickleball with his two adult children. Extensive efforts from bystanders and first responders to revive him were not successful. He was an excellent firefighter who could always be counted on, and he outlined some of the Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 2 highlights of his career and his personal life. He extended the City’s deepest condolences to his family and friends as they mourn this tragic loss. A moment of silence was held in honor of Lt. Lorne Farrell. 5. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER Mr. Vanderpool reminded that the Cultural Exchange Program will take place on Friday, March 6, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the new Community Center across the street, and they are looking forward to having this event there for the first time. The event had become so popular that it outgrew the Senior Center, so this new venue will provide so much additional space. Those attending can look forward to the same entertainment, great ethnic music, dance and cuisine from City restauranteurs, cultural displays and many other festivities. He informed that there will be a free shuttle to and from the lots at City Hall and 41A District Court. Mr. Vanderpool stated that holiday decorative lights are supposed to be removed no more than sixty (60) days after the holiday for which they are displayed. Their code enforcement personnel are coming across lights and displays that are still up, and he reminded those need to be taken down promptly or they risk being issued a citation. Mr. Vanderpool advised there is a lot of construction activity occurring at the Department of Public Works (DPW). The new facility is under construction, and during the month of May, they typically host a Hazardous Household Waste event; however, they are unfortunately not able to do that this May, mainly because of the construction activity. They are planning a Hazardous Household Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 3 event for the upcoming year but do not have a date set as of yet. The Macomb County Health Department also hosts a Hazardous Waste event on a monthly basis, with one coming up on Friday, March 13, 2020, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 43525 Elizabeth Road, behind the Macomb County Jail. Those wanting more information on the location can go to the City’s website under the DPW Department, click on recycling, and more information can be obtained. Mr. Vanderpool explained there is a lot of construction on the City campus facilities, including City Hall which is being renovated and will take about a year to complete. The Police Department is also going through a major renovation, although the Records Department and the front desk are still open. The library renovation work is about to commence, as well as the court building. The court operations are now temporarily being operated from City Council chambers until March 16, when they will move into the temporary quarters at the old Shelby 41A District Court for the next four to five months. The Court’s main number is operational, so anyone with questions or business to conduct can call their number. Mr. Vanderpool stated the Sterling Heights Drug-Free Coalition will celebrate Black Balloon Day on Thursday, March 5 at 5:30 p.m. at Christ Lutheran Church, 12500 Canal Road, Sterling Heights. There is a Resolution on tonight’s Consent Agenda celebrating this day. He invited Lieutenant Mario Bastianelli of the Sterling Heights Police Department to share more information about this important event. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 4 Lt. Mario Bastianelli stated the event at Christ Lutheran Church this Thursday at 5:30 is to celebrate and recognize Black Balloon Day, which is a day to pay tribute and recognize people who have lost their lives to the opiate epidemic. There will be families in attendance who will have the opportunity to speak and recognize the family members they have lost. He talked about steps taken in the last year to further their fight against this opioid epidemic. He stated he is president of the Sterling Heights Drug-Free Coalition, a non-profit fighting substance abuse issues in the community, and he is also the program supervisor for the Comeback Quick Response Team. He explained the latter is a collaboration between the Police Department and Families Against Narcotics (FAN), and anytime there is an overdose in their community, a team comprised of a police officer, a peer recovery coach and a nurse from FAN tries to take the proactive steps to reach out to that person, help them into rehabilitation and get them the resources they need to get back on their feet. This is a pilot program for the State of Michigan and if it is successful, it will expand statewide. They have been doing this program for the last month in Sterling Heights, and he stressed his pride for this team. He reported that after one month of this program, they have visited twenty-three houses and attempted to make contact, and they were able to get ten people in rehabilitation, providing them recovery programs and rehab. Through FAN, they have provided six families with family coaches to help in dealing with a family member who has an addiction. This is a 72% success rate for one month, Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 5 adding they were able to get ten people into rehabilitation, when last year there were seventy-two overdoses. The success of this program will continue, and they continue to fine-tune it. He cited some specific success stories, pointing out they are not just getting these people into rehabilitation but are also helping their families with other facets of their lives. He invited Ms. Frankie Walker, a peer recovery coach, to tell her story and what she does with the Comeback Quick Response Team. Ms. Walker introduced herself as a peer recovery coach for Hope Not Handcuffs and Families Against Narcotics, and she was asked to be a part of this program. She explained she has been in recovery from heroin and crack for five years and is also a business owner and owns two recovery houses for women. She was surprised to see the compassion, empathy and dedication of the officers who are involved in this program. She provided some success stories of the individuals she is coaching and stressed that the impact this program is having on people is unbelievable. She felt that if she would have had a program like this where someone met her where she was at the point when she was an addict, she would have gotten better a little faster. She provided some of the details of where she was five years ago and the hopeless feelings she had as an addict. She emphasized that addiction can happen so fast, noting that addicts are so focused on staying high they do not see it coming. Their success rate is high because the team does not give up. They are making a difference, and admitted when she was an addict, she did not think highly of police officers Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 6 because no one was reaching out. She stressed that now, seeing the other side, she is so impressed and amazed with the compassion of the police officers and those reaching out to these people. Mayor Taylor thanked Ms. Walker for coming up to speak, adding it is powerful and has a lot of impact on those listening, more specifically for those who have not yet made that step. He hoped her message will reach that audience through the televised meetings, social media, Resolutions and emails because she is making a big difference. He read the Resolution that will be voted on as part of the Consent Agenda this evening. Lt. Bastianelli thanked everyone involved for their support, stressing they could not do this and be successful without their support. Being progressive and proactive is what makes Sterling Heights “head and shoulders above” any other city, and it is because of their support and leadership. He and his officers at the Police Department, appreciate this support. He promoted the fundraiser that CARE of Southeastern Michigan is sponsoring on April 21, 2020, which will be held at the General Motors Heritage Center, adding that there is more information about this event on CARE’s website. Mr. Vanderpool concluded his report by introducing a brief video on the headliners for Sterlingfest 2020. The video revealed the entertainment will include Simply Queen on Thursday, July 23; Plain White T’s on Friday, July 24; and Lou Gramm, the “Original Voice of Foreigner,” along with rock group Asia. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 7 Mayor Taylor stated he is excited about these main acts and will be looking forward to it. 6. ORDINANCE INTRODUCTIONS A. Mayor Taylor stated this is an introduction of an ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances to create a Sustainability Commission. He invited Assistant City Attorney Donald P. DeNault, Jr. to give the presentation. Assistant City Attorney Donald P. DeNault, Jr. stated he has an ordinance that is somewhat progressive but has been around in concept for a long time in different forms. At the suggestion brought to Council at Strategic Planning, they have worked with Administration to develop a new ordinance that proposes the creation of a Sustainability Commission. The definition of “sustainability,” which means meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. He outlined the concepts of sustainability and indicated if a commission is put together to help the community and city move forward to meet those goals, they are proposing a five-voting-member commission, consisting of a minimum of four residents. There is room for one member who may not live in the city but has an interest in the community or an expertise that would benefit the commission. The ordinance would allow City Council the ability to appoint as many non-voting ex-officio members at any time as deemed appropriate to help with expertise, guidance and bringing the interest of state, federal and local government, school districts, colleges, universities, youth, non-profits, businesses or anyone else that might have an interest in helping Sterling Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 8 Heights with meeting its sustainability missions and goals. The ordinance proposes that each member would hold their seat for three years, and for voting members, they would have staggered terms, with two expiring the first year, two the second year, and one the third year, and they would begin on July 1. Mr. DeNault explained the Commission would have about nineteen different responsibilities, and he highlighted a couple of them that best summarize all of them, one being to advise and make recommendations to City Council and City Manager on the City’s long-range goals, policies and programs on all matters pertaining to sustainability, develop and advise the City Council on implementation of community-wide strategies regarding waste reduction, recycling and sustainable growth and development, create a model of sustainability through efforts to advocate, educate and promote the socio- economic and environmental health of the community now and into the future, recognize natural resources as chief assets of the City and encourage responsible stewardship of those assets, research initiatives outside of the City to determine how other communities are addressing sustainability, and create a Sustainability Plan within its first year of existence. They would continue to update City Council and maintain a three-year Sustainability Plan that outlines specific areas for City Council to study and the Commission’s recommendations relating to those areas. The ordinance proposes they would meet at least six times each year, although they can meet more frequently. The City Planner or Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 9 designee is to assist them in all of the needs they have as they meet, and it would be solely a recommending body, so it would not have authority to make decisions that bind the City of Sterling Heights. Thorough minutes would be kept so everyone can see the discussions and topics. He offered to answer questions. Mayor Taylor opened the floor for public comments. • Mr. Nathan Inks – in support of the proposed ordinance; great that the City is taking a proactive approach to sustainability and environmental issues; Commission could come up with plan that could be model for the region. Moved by Sierawski, seconded by Taylor, RESOLVED, to introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances to create a Sustainability Commission. Mayor Pro-Tem Sierawski voiced her support of this, noting it is hard when they do not own all of the property in a City to direct how things will go, but this will provide an opportunity to have more support and the Commission will be able to provide the information and background Council needs when making their decisions. She urged engineers, chemists, biologists and others who have an interest in this to apply for this Commission. Councilman Yanez questioned whether they have prepared an application for this Commission. City Clerk Melanie Ryska replied the application has not yet been prepared. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 10 Councilman Yanez questioned whether there will be anything specific on the application in regard to the Sustainability Commission and whether they are vetting people for a specific interest or specific area of sustainability. Mr. DeNault stated they would take from the ordinance to the application, to express that City Council is looking for a diverse group of members with a range of backgrounds and interests, and at least three members shall have expertise or demonstrated interest in sustainability and related issues, including but not limited to suburban sustainability, responsible environmental policies and practices, water quality and use efficiency, water conservation, air quality, energy conservation and/or clean energy alternatives, materials management, local and regional ecology, mobility, land use stewardship, green site planning and building, waste management, human health and community and regional economics and finance. Councilman Yanez questioned whether these will be checkboxes on the application. Mr. DeNault replied they do not yet know what the application will look like, but he assured they will keep it simple. Councilman Yanez questioned whether someone can serve on this Commission who is either under contract by the City or could bid work with the City. Mr. DeNault replied he would think any member of this Commission could not have a business contract with the City, pursuant to Charter and pursuant to Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 11 certain ethics rules and guidelines in place through the Ethics Ordinance. He felt if they have a business in the community, they could be considered for the Commission. Councilman Yanez questioned whether someone from GFL or Waste Management, although they could not sit on this Commission, could possibly be used as an advisor. Mr. DeNault replied that is correct. Councilwoman Ziarko questioned who the liaison will be from the City. Mr. DeNault replied it will be the City Planner or the designee of the Planning office. Councilwoman Ziarko felt some of the descriptions provided this evening for this Commission cross over into what they are doing with Solid Waste Management. She questioned if there is a way Mr. DeNault can distinguish the difference between the two so they are not crossing over into each other’s commission at the next meeting. Mr. DeNault replied affirmatively. Councilwoman Ziarko commended and thanked Mr. DeNault for making the ordinance introductions interesting. Mayor Taylor noted this was discussed at the Strategic Planning Session and he commended Mr. DeNault for the work he put into this, adding it is very comprehensive and will be a huge step forward for the City of Sterling Heights. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 12 He felt it will leave a legacy for a long time. He is impressed with it and looking forward to voting in favor of it to get it started. Yes: Koski, Schmidt, Sierawski, Taylor, Yanez, Ziarko. No: None. Absent: Radtke. The motion carried. 7. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Taylor stated this item is consideration of the Consent Agenda. He opened the floor for public comments. • Ms. Brandy Wright – regarding Item 7-J, expressed appreciation for what Police Department and City is doing to bring awareness to this issue; emphasizing people with addition are “us,” being neighbors, siblings, kids, etc.; reminded it is a disease and they need help.

REPORTS FROM CITY ADMINISTRATION AND CITY COUNCIL Mr. Vanderpool stated he has nothing further this evening. Councilwoman Ziarko commented opening of new Community Center was huge success, and it was a great investment. She thanked all of the residents for making it possible, as well as all of the staff and those involved in making it a dream-come-true. She spoke about the importance of the upcoming census, encouraging people to fill out the census form, either online or in the mail. She Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 14 added there will be places available in the City to fill it out online, including the library, the community center or the Chaldean Foundation. She noted there are about seven to nine questions, none of them having anything to do with citizenship or declaration of income. She stressed they want everyone to be counted because it amounts to about $1,800 that the City receives per person per year for ten years, and that results in a huge loss for each person not counted. She talked about citizenship and paying taxes without complaining, so everyone does their part to benefit collectively. There are things people cannot pay for on their own, such as a school, park or community building, but collectively, each can contribute and these amenities can be built so everyone benefits. Councilwoman Schmidt stated the opening of the Community Center this past Saturday was a great day for all who attended. She mentioned she is taking a class so she was there last night, and witnessed people in classes, parents walking the track as they waited for their children to get out of their dance class, people studying at some of the charging stations, a basketball game going on in the gym and overall, it was people enjoying that building. She stated she is looking forward to taking a second class, and she felt there is something for everyone in that building. She thanked all who had anything to do with getting the Community Center together. She expressed excitement about the Cultural Exchange event being held there on Friday evening. She asked Mr. Vanderpool if there is a color that would represent addiction that Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 15 they could use to light The Halo on March 6. She understood that the color of the balloons is black, but if there is an alternate color, she would like to see The Halo illuminated in that color on March 6. Councilman Yanez reminded everyone that March is Reading Month, and he enjoyed reading some books to preschoolers today at the new Community Center. He urged people to read to children, grandchildren and others in celebration of Reading Month. Councilman Yanez noticed that along the Chrysler fence line along 17 Mile Road, west of Van Dyke, has a lot of trash that has accumulated. He did not know what they can do, but he felt it makes their City look terrible, so it needs to be addressed and he is seeking response from City Administration. He received notification from a citizen who received a letter from Code Enforcement about his address not being visible. He indicated he fixed it but was notified by regular mail. He complained that he was only given seven days to correct the problem, and by the time the letter got to him, he had only four days. He questioned whether they can leave an immediate notification on the door in the way of a sticker to anyone who has a code enforcement issue. He wanted to make sure the City is helping people and not hurting them. He urged residents to look at their addresses, and if they are not visible from the street, they should post them in a visible manner. He thanked Parks and Recreation, all others in the City who worked on the new Community Center, and the taxpayers who funded it through their generosity. He stated the new Community Center is a great place to bring the community together Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 16 and is geared for all ages. He thanked the taxpayers of Sterling Heights, noting he is a former employee of the Sterling Heights Fire Department. He receives a city pension and is always thankful to the taxpayers for making that possible. He cited a recent medical emergency, resulting in emergency surgery and a brief hospital stay, and he realized how fortunate he is to have health insurance and is genuinely grateful to the taxpayers of the City of Sterling Heights. Mayor Pro-Tem Sierawski reminded everyone of Black Balloon Day on March 6. She urged people to say a prayer or send good wishes and thoughts for these families as they deal with their tragic events. She reminded this happens to neighbors, family members, work associates and others. They need to continue with the treatment they are doing, and she stressed that their police officers are and always have been compassionate, but they did not always have the tools, noting in the past they were told to arrest and make sure this issue was eradicated as opposed to finding ways to prevent or treat it. She is proud of the Drug-Free Coalition and to be a member of it, seeing how strongly they are impacting those ten people in the first month of the program. She reminded that Tuesday, March 10 is the Presidential Primary Election in the State of Michigan, so she urged everyone to get out and vote. Mayor Pro-Tem Sierawski stated it was brought to her attention that Fire Station #1, located on 17 Mile, is the station where Lt. Farrell was stationed, and their flag was at half-mast. She noticed, however, that the flag at City Hall is not at half-mast, and she requested whether it would be possible on Monday, for Lt. Farrell’s funeral, to Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 17 have the City flags at half-mast. She commented that he was so dedicated to this community, and she felt that would be a good tribute to him. Mayor Taylor echoed his colleagues on their comments regarding the new Community Center. He added it was a joy to be there on Saturday, and there was a lot of excitement in the building. He felt this is something people will remember about this City for a long time. He stated he received an email today from an elderly citizen who claimed she already filled out her census form and sent it back. He questioned whether the census forms have been mailed out to anyone yet. Clerk Ryska replied that the 2020 Census Forms have not yet gone out, but she may have received the American Community Survey, which is sent out at random throughout the year. Mayor Taylor questioned whether people could be using the Census as a fishing tool to get information from people. He questioned what will be sent out from the Census Bureau. Clerk Ryska recently learned that the Census letters will be going out on March 13. It will not be in a postcard form but will be a letter in an envelope. The letter will have a Census ID number and a website where people can visit and enter that Census ID number. She advised the head of the household will have ten questions to complete, and each additional person will have nine questions to complete. For those who do not respond within a couple of weeks, they will receive a number of postcards reminding them to complete the census. If they Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 18 are still non-respondents by the end of April, they will then get a paper form sent to them. If they still do not respond, the Census Bureau will send enumerators out to their households to knock on doors. Mayor Taylor stated they have been telling residents that if they need help filling out the form, there will be numerous resources, including a number they can call. They can fill it out online, with ten different languages available. He questioned whether they need to make an appointment if they want to come to the City, the library or the Chaldean Foundation for assistance. Clerk Ryska replied they will have designated computers at the library, the Community Center, the Senior Center and at the Chaldean Community Foundation. She added she cannot speak to whether the Chaldean Community Foundation would prefer to have appointments to be made, but in the City’s facilities, an appointment is not necessary and computers will be available on a first come-first serve basis. Someone will be available to help them navigate to the website. The respondents will have to complete the questions themselves, but the resources will be available. The Census Bureau has the phone number, where there are multiple languages available, and they have a lot of reference material that is available in 59 different languages. Mayor Taylor stated he was at the Chaldean Foundation earlier, and they had indicated residents can come in and do not need to make an appointment for help. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 19 Clerk Ryska explained they have a number of Census Completion events that are scheduled for the Senior Center and library, and she encouraged residents to watch for those events. Mayor Taylor announced that there is an event at 6 p.m. on Thursday evening at the Chaldean Community Foundation. He questioned whether it is open to everyone. Clerk Ryska replied it is an event that is hosted by the Chaldean Community Foundation, and she anticipated they would allow anyone to attend. She suggested that anyone interested in that event should reach out to the Foundation. Mayor Taylor reminded that Tuesday, March 10 is Election Day in Michigan. There is no-reason absentee voting available for the first time, so he suspected a lot of people may have already submitted their ballots and possibly voted for a candidate who is no longer running for president. He questioned the process if someone wants to spoil that ballot and cast a new vote. Clerk Ryska explained that anyone can come in and spoil their ballot if they have already submitted it. They can come to the Clerk’s office and request in writing that their ballot be spoiled, and a new ballot will be issued to them. She stated they are open 8:30 to 5:00 on Mondays through Fridays, and they will also be open on Saturday, March 7, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the purposes of issuing and receiving absentee ballots. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2020 Page 20 Mayor Taylor encouraged everyone to get out and vote, and he also encouraged everyone to come to the Cultural Exchange event this Friday, March 6, at the new Community Center. They are looking forward to having it in its new home with a lot of extra space. 13. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. 14. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business. 15. CLOSED SESSION PERMITTED UNDER ACT 267 OF 1976 Mr. Kaszubski stated he has nothing tonight. 16. ADJOURN Moved by Ziarko, seconded by Schmidt, RESOLVED, to adjourn the meeting. Yes: Koski, Schmidt, Sierawski, Taylor, Yanez, Ziarko. No: None. Absent – Radtke. The motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 8:13 p.m. MELANIE D. RYSKA, City Clerk
