REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER Mr. Vanderpool invited everyone to an important ceremony that will take place tomorrow, May 17, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. as part of the Sterling Heights Law Enforcement Day, celebrating the contributions of the police officers and the impact they make on the community. This ceremony will take place outside of City Hall, and should there be rain, the ceremony will be moved inside to the Council chambers. Mr. Vanderpool reminded everyone that the City Hall offices will be closed on Monday, May 29, 2023, in recognition of the Memorial Day holiday. There will be no refuse collection on May 29, so collection will be delayed by one day, with Friday’s scheduled refuse collection taking place on Saturday. He informed that the 44th Annual Memorial Day festivities will begin on Monday, May 29, with a ceremony at 9 a.m. in the courtyard between City Hall and the Police Department. He informed this year’s theme is “Victory Through Unity” and will feature an exciting first-ever Tuskegee Airman flyover using authentic World War II Tuskegee airplanes supplied by BAE Defense Company, located in Sterling Heights, and DC3S, which is the Defense Corridor Center for Collaboration and Synergy by Mary and Ron Lamparter. He added that Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 2 both of these entities are graciously funding the flyover. The ceremony will feature remarks from 2023 Grand Marshall Larry Sargant, a U.S. Army Veteran and vice-president of Tuskegee Airman National Historical Museum in Detroit, Mayor Taylor, and Arts Commission Chair Jeanne Schabath-Lewis. He stated the widely attended parade will kick off at 10 a.m., with a lot of floats, marching bands, etc., and will travel from the City Center down Dodge Park Road. More information can be found on the City’s website. Mr. Vanderpool stated the summer holiday season is approaching, with Memorial Day, Independence Day on July 4th, and Labor Day, and those exciting holidays are often accompanied by fireworks. He reminded everyone of their firework regulations, explaining that state law prohibits the City from banning the use of consumer fireworks on the certain days, so they have no choice but to allow them on the following days: • The Saturday and Sunday immediately preceding Memorial Day, between 11 a.m. and 11:45 p.m. He noted they are not allowed on Memorial Day. • The week of June 29 through July 4, 2023. • The Saturday and Sunday immediately preceding Labor Day. He added they do try to enforce this and issue citations, resulting in a very expensive fine. He added it is often easy to track down when they receive complaints from the neighbors. Mr. Vanderpool explained they could allow fireworks on other days, but the Mayor and City Council have chosen not to do so; therefore, they are only allowed on the days the State requires them to be allowed. He informed that anyone can contact the city or call the police non-emergency number if they want to report the illegal use of fireworks, and he assured the City will respond. He hopes that voluntary compliance prevails once again. Mr. Vanderpool concluded his report by requesting City Council convene a closed session at the conclusion of tonight’s meeting, pursuant to Section 8- E of the Open Meetings Act, for Council to consult with the City Attorney regarding two (2) confidential legal opinions. 6.

Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). 7. CONSIDERATION A. Mayor Taylor stated this is to consider approval of a memorandum of understanding between the City of Sterling Heights and the Sterling Heights Police Officers Association/Michigan Association of Police. He invited Mr. Vanderpool to give a presentation. Mr. Vanderpool explained that police agencies across the country are incorporating comfort dogs into the law enforcement environment with great outcomes. He stated these dogs are incredibly effective at diffusing potential Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 5 conflicts and providing comfort to both officers and those who find themselves in conflict or in difficult situations. He explained the benefits, and informed that the Mayor and City Council have approved the appropriation to fund a comfort dog in the recently approved budget, so they are now in the implementation stage. There will be one police officer selected as a handler of the comfort dog, and like the K-9 Officer program, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires a comfort dog officer receive monetary consideration for the after-hours time spent taking care of the dog, including exercise, grooming, and caring in other ways for the comfort dog. For this reason, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) had to be negotiated between the Police Officers union and the City. He explained what is currently done with the K-9 units is officers work a 35-hour work week, with an additional five hours paid per week, equating to 40 hours, to credit them for taking care of the dog. The same will be done for the comfort dog; however, the officer will work a 36.5-hour work week, with an additional 3.5 hours of compensation for at-home services taking care of the dog. He noted that taking care of a comfort dog is not as intensive as taking care of a K-9 dog, but it does require some time beyond the normal workday. Mr. Vanderpool explained the MOU has been negotiated, both parties have agreed, and it is now before City Council for approval. He stated City Administration is respectfully requesting that the Mayor and City Council approve the MOU before them this evening. Mayor Taylor thanked Mr. Vanderpool. He opened the floor to the audience, but no one spoke. Moved by Sierawski, seconded by Schmidt, RESOLVED, approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the city of Sterling Heights and the Sterling Heights Police Officers Association/Michigan Association of Police to implement the comfort dog program within the Police Department and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign it on behalf of the City. Council members’ opinions varied on the breed of dog they would like to see for this addition to the Police Department. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 6 Mayor Pro-Tem Sierawski stated this is a wonderful idea, and dogs are a great comfort to most people, especially to the officers since they have a rough job. She noted it is great for them to be greeted by a friendly dog always happy to see them as they come back into the police department. She could see no negative to this, and she added that she is one hundred percent in favor of this. Councilman Radtke agreed with Mayor Pro-Tem Sierawski, noting this is a great program and very forward-thinking. He is happy that their police department seems to be on the forefront of so many improvements, including the hiring of a social worker, and the implementation of a comfort dog. He is confident it will be a wonderful program and will lend comfort to both the public and the police officers. Councilwoman Koski felt it should be a female dog because the K-9 dogs are all male. Councilman Yanez recalled when the Police Chief talked about this, he indicated they were looking at getting a dog that is hypoallergenic and does not shed. He questioned whether there will be any accommodation made for employees that may be allergic to dogs. Mr. Vanderpool appreciated the comments, and he indicated he jotted down in his notes all of the different breeds suggested tonight, including the gender. He agreed they will have to take Councilman Yanez’s concern into consideration, so they can find a dog that is most tolerated by all individuals. He noted this is still the early stage, so they will first have to go through the process to get an officer signed up to volunteer, followed by some training and professional development. They will then go through the process to determine the appropriate breed, getting some input from professionals and other communities that have gone through this process. Mayor Taylor stated this is a great idea. He commented that there have been a number of initiatives coming out of their police department over the last several years, where they have looked at ways to provide the same high level Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 7 of service but at the same time taking care of the community and their officers. He felt this will be a great program. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). B. Mayor Taylor stated this is to consider nominations to City of Sterling Heights Boards and Commissions. He opened the floor for comments from the audience, but no one spoke. Mayor Taylor stated that there are six boards for which nominations will be made this evening. Nominations to Planning Commission Mayor Taylor stated these are mayoral appointments confirmed by City Council. Two are current members who are seeking reappointment, and one is unfortunately leaving the City of Sterling Heights and can no longer serve on the Planning Commission. All three positions are for terms ending June 30, 2026. He thanked Lori Doughty for her many years of service to the City of Sterling Heights as she served on the Planning Commission and other boards as well. He acknowledged many of her various activities throughout her time in the City, and he stated he will miss having her leadership. He wished her well. He stated he would be happy to nominate Nathan Inks and Ed Kopp, the two Planning Commissioners seeking reappointment. Moved by Schmidt, seconded by Radtke, RESOLVED, to nominate Nathan Inks and Ed Kopp for consideration as appointees to the Planning Commission at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Mayor Taylor stated they will pass on the other Planning Commission nomination for now. Nominations to Board of Ordinance Appeals I - Alternate Mayor Taylor stated this is a City Council appointment, and there is one open alternate position. Moved by Radtke, seconded by Taylor, RESOLVED, to nominate Benjamin Ancona for consideration as an appointee to the Board of Ordinance Appeals I – Alternate at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 8 Councilman Radtke noted that Mr. Ancona already serves on the other Board of Ordinance Appeals, and he felt it is good to have an alternate who knows what is going on. He is confident Mr. Ancona will be great as an alternate. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Nominations to Board of Ordinance Appeals II Mayor Taylor stated this is a City Council appointment and there are three members seeking reappointment. Moved by Radtke, seconded by Taylor, RESOLVED, to nominate Michael Bargowski, Joseph Bedford, and Roman Stojalowsky for consideration as appointees to the Board of Ordinance Appeals II at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Nominations to Board of Review Mayor Taylor stated this is a City Council appointment and there are two members seeking reappointment. Moved by Yanez, seconded by Koski, RESOLVED, to nominate John Fenn and Raymond Nadolski for consideration as appointees to the Board of Review at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Nomination to Police and Fire Pension Board Mayor Taylor stated this is a City Council appointment, and Board member John Lamerato is seeking reappointment. Moved by Yanez, seconded by Koski, RESOLVED, to nominate John Lamerato for consideration as an appointee to the Police and Fire Pension Board at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Nominations to Zoning Board of Appeals Mayor Taylor stated these are City Council appointments, and four members currently serving are seeking reappointment. Councilman Radtke noted that two of the members seeking reappointment are regular members and two are alternates. He questioned whether they need to designate that in the motion. He replied to inquiry that the current Alternate Members include Benjamin Ancona and Jafar Chehab. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 9 Mr. Kaszubski stated the nominations should be separate if they are nominated as alternate members. Moved by Radtke, seconded by Yanez, RESOLVED, to nominate Jafar Chehab for consideration as an appointee to the Zoning Board of Appeals (Alternate) at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Moved by Radtke, seconded by Yanez, RESOLVED, to nominate Benjamin Ancona for consideration as an appointee to the Zoning Board of Appeals (Alternate) at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Moved by Radtke, seconded by Yanez, RESOLVED, to nominate Aisha Farooqi for consideration as an appointee to the Zoning Board of Appeals at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Councilman Radtke stated he spoke with Ms. Farooqi, noting she had missed a couple of meetings; however, she had not missed a meeting in the previous three years. He explained she has resolved to try to make sure she can notify the City if she has to miss a meeting, and he would like to give her another chance because she has served the three prior years with no problem. Mayor Taylor agreed and indicated he also spoke with Ms. Farooqi, who is very passionate about serving. She regrets she was unable to make some of the meetings due to extenuating circumstances, but she will do her best to be there and to communicate. He added that is why they have the two alternates. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Moved by Schmidt, seconded by Yanez, RESOLVED, to nominate Devin Koski for consideration as an appointee to the Zoning Board of Appeals at the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Yes: All (except for Radtke, who was opposed) (5/1). The motion carried. Nomination to Planning Commission Mayor Taylor stated he will entertain a motion to postpone consideration of this nomination for the soon-to-be-vacant seat on the Planning Commission to June 6, 2023. Moved by Radtke, seconded by Taylor, RESOLVED, to postpone the soon to be vacant Planning Commission nomination to the June 6, 2023 regular City Council meeting. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 10 Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). 8. COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS Mayor Taylor opened the floor for public comments. • Unidentified speaker – spoke in detail of an ongoing public voting records investigation in Michigan directed at the State and not at local Clerks. • Wally Bronson – resident on Melbourne Drive; expressed concerns that he, his wife, and several neighbors share about people purchasing homes, renting them out, and then not properly maintaining them; cited numerous examples on his street; thanked the Fire and Police Departments for all they do, noting when there was a fire at his home in 2015, there were four trucks in front of his house in less than two minutes; with regard to Police comfort dog, he recommended a Jack Russell Terrier. • Sanaa Elias – opposed to 96-gallon refuse containers and does not want to see them forced on residents as part of a new refuse contract; she urged the Council to consider the elderly and one- and two-person households who do not need that large size; opposed to monthly water billing and questioned who made that decision. 10. REPORTS FROM CITY ADMINISTRATION AND CITY COUNCIL Mr. Vanderpool addressed some of the questions and concerns raised this evening. He assured the City takes the condition of neighborhoods very seriously. They have sixteen code officers who canvass the City daily, and that has drastically increased since nearly twenty years ago when they had only two officers. He stated they will continue to increase the number of code enforcement officers as needed to keep the neighborhoods as aesthetically pleasing as possible. He explained it is a challenge at this time of the year because the grass grows quickly, and it is hard to stay on top of it. He informed the City has a contractor who cuts the grass within 24 hours after a violation has been issued if the homeowner does not mow it. He added they have mowed hundreds of properties already and will be continuing that program all summer. He appreciated the feedback provided this evening by Mr. Bronson, and he assured that they will have code enforcement officers go back this week to take a special look at the homes to make sure they are in full compliance. For residents who may have a mobility situation, the City will work with them, at times with financial assistance and other times with a volunteer corps to help them clean up their homes. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 11 Mr. Vanderpool assured that there will be plenty of time for continued review of the solid waste contract that will be under consideration this summer. He stated they appreciate the feedback they have received to this point. He also addressed the comment about monthly water bills, and explained it is a standard practice for utilities to bill monthly. There are very few, if any, that bill quarterly. He pointed out the quarterly billing system worked, but it was problematic because if there was ever a leak or other problem in a home, it often took three months to figure it out, and a leaky toilet could cost hundreds of dollars over a ninety-day period. He pointed out these issues can often be remedied much quicker when the problem becomes known in a monthly bill. Mr. Vanderpool reminded everyone they have the Smart Water Billing available where residents can view their usage in almost real time. Those interested can go to the portal and sign up, and they can set alerts so that if their water consumption is up over five percent or ten percent on any given day, they will receive an alert. He commented that the monthly billing is working very well in Sterling Heights, and the transition has gone very smoothly. He acknowledged that the adjustment from quarterly billing to monthly billing has been a challenge for some, but the vast majority of residents seem to be pleased with it. Some people may overwater, and if their monthly bill goes up, they may be able to scale back their outdoor watering to better monitor and control their costs. He added that most people are accustomed to paying all of their bills monthly as opposed to quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Mayor Taylor encouraged people to sign up for online billing so that their bills are emailed to them. They can pay electronically, and there is a $5 per month discount if they sign up for paperless billing. Councilwoman Schmidt pointed out they will not have another City Council meeting before Music in the Park and Farmer’s Market starts on June 1, so she urged everyone to attend these events and have some fun, enjoying what the City has to offer. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 12 Mayor Taylor addressed the citizens’ comments with regard to flying the Pride flag, which he pointed out is completely different than endorsing a religion. He emphasized they cannot endorse a religion in the City of Sterling Heights because it is against the First Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits government-sponsored religion. He was familiar with the court case Ms. Elias brought up, and pointed out it is a different situation in Boston because the city had given up their flagpole and they let any private group use it. By ceding that public flagpole to allow any private group to use it, then any private group could use it. He clarified the City of Sterling Heights is not doing that and they are not allowing private groups to use the flagpole, but are deciding as a City which flags they are going to fly. He cited examples, noting if an ethnic group would like recognition by having their flag flown, they could make that request. He pointed out the City has a large number of Iraqi Americans living in the City of Sterling Heights, as well as Polish Americans, Italian Americans, and others, and he felt if the Council received a request from such a group, they would look at it and determine if there is a specific cause that would benefit from promoting a different diversity in the City of Sterling Heights. Mayor Taylor stated that, throughout the year, they are passing resolutions, adopting mayoral proclamations, and recognizing a wide array of groups throughout the City. He commented that all seven Council members are white and, to his knowledge, are Christian, so he does not agree with a comment that the City of Sterling Heights is discriminating against white Christians, when that group is represented one hundred percent in the local government. He felt it is important for the City to recognize the many diverse groups they have in Sterling Heights, and he felt they can do it in a way that is not taking away from anyone else’s individuality. He is proud the City has taken this position, and added that if there are other groups, particularly marginalized groups, that want recognition and to raise awareness, they are happy to do so. Mayor Taylor explained that the City hosts a quarterly clergy forum where they invite members of clergy from all different faith communities, and they meet at the Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 13 Community Center to discuss the issues important to them. He recalled they recently recognized a local church celebrating their 200th anniversary. They are a city of multiple Christian churches of all denominations, and he felt the vast majority of people are Christians, so he indicated it is unfair to say the City is being discriminatory against Christian people. He assured me they are trying to be open and welcoming to all people. Mayor Pro-Tem Sierawski reminded that the City flies a flag everyday that represents everyone in the City, and that is the American flag. Mayor Taylor stated the City has been making progress over the last ten years, and what they have been doing to be a welcoming community has made this a better community. 10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. 11. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business. 12. CLOSED SESSION PERMITTED UNDER ACT 267 OF 1976 Mr. Kaszubski stated there are two items for Closed Session this evening. Moved by Schmidt, seconded by Radtke, RESOLVED, to recess into Closed Session. Roll Call Vote: Yes: Sierawski, Taylor, Yanez, Koski, Radtke, Schmidt. No: None. Absent: None. The motion carried (6/0). The meeting recessed into Closed Session at 7:59 p.m. and reconvened at 8:11 p.m. Moved by Radtke, seconded by Yanez, RESOLVED, to authorize the City Attorney to pursue all available remedies to abate the nuisance conditions and code violations existing at 4241 and 4251 Fifteen Mile Road. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). Moved by Yanez, seconded by Radtke, RESOLVED, to authorize the City Attorney to pursue all available remedies to abate the nuisance conditions and code violations existing at 11929 Shetland Court. Yes: All. The motion carried (6/0). 13. ADJOURN Moved by Schmidt, seconded by Sierawski, RESOLVED, to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried and the meeting was adjourned at 8:12 p.m. Regular City Council Meeting Tuesday, May 16, 2023 Page 14 MELANIE D. RYSKA, City Clerk
