Hearing no objections, the Mayor discussed the recent water rate increase of 18.2%,

which Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick AEW stated would have been higher had the

City not installed the water reservoir. Detroit Water representatives state that the rate

increase is due to a reduction in the quantity of water being used. Grosse Pointe

Woods rate will increase from $10.21 to $12.07 per thousand cubic feet of water;

Grosse Pointe Shores from $16.18 to $17.70; and Grosse Pointe Park from $13.23 to

$14.61. Grosse Pointe City and Grosse Pointe Farms do not use Detroit water. There

was a consensus of the Council to refer this item to the Committee-of-the-Whole

Meeting on February 14, 2011, and ask Jim Rabine from AEW to be present at that

meeting! The Mayor stated that the Council may, after obtaining information from Mr.

Rabine, consider two resolutions: one, expressing dissatisfaction with the i8.2%

increase; and two, supporting the pending House Bill 4112 to obtain more regional

control over rate setting. Administration was directed to extend an invitation to the

Detroit City Water Department to meet with City Council. The Mayor stated that sewer

rates will also need to be addressed.

Motion by Bryant, seconded by Sucher, to adjourn tonight's meeting at 8:26 p.m.

The Treasurer/Comptroller provided an update on the Assessor position. The Mayor

discussed the option of possibly using a contractual 1099 employee to fill the position

eliminating the need to pay benefits such as healthcare or pension, and suggested

looking at sharing services with Macomb County. The Treasurer/Comptroller stated that

with the number of Michigan Tax Tribunal cases and additional items that have been

found that need to be brought up to date, she did not suggest a part-time Assessor.

She also stated that her prior discussions with Macomb County did not result in a

savings to the City. She interviewed four candidates, offering to pay a salary of

between $62,000-64,000, and to provide benefits, at a cost to the City of approximately

48% including FICA. She is requesting authorization to perform a background search on

the top candidate, and to have medicai and background checks performed. The Mayor

asked whether background and medical

COMMIUEE-OF-THE-WHOLE

February 7, 2011 - 09

checks can be done prior to placing an offer on the table, and the Treasurer/Comptroller

and City Attorney stated yes. The Treasurer/Comptroller stated she would re-contact

Macomb County regarding whether services can be coordinated.

The Committee concurred to authorize the Treasurer/Comptroller to make an offer of

employment for between $62,000-64,000 contingent upon background and medical

checks coming back successfully but to defer a final decision until contact has been

made with Macomb County, and returned to the City Council for discussion.

The Treasurer/Comptroller stated that Tom Columbo has agreed to sign the tax roll.

Council Member Granger arrived at 7:23 p.m.

The next item discussed was regarding Public Safety Patrol Vehicles Extended

Service Plan. The City Administrator provided an overview and recommended

approval of this purchase at a cost of $9,000, which will result in a savings of more than

$16,000 on in-house repairs in addition to approximately $18,000 incurred by outside

vendor repairs. There was a concurrence of the Committee to address this item under

New Business at tonight's Council Meeting in favor of purchasing the extended service

plans.

Motion by Bryant, seconded by Granger, regarding Public Safety Patrol Vehicles -

Extended Service Plan, that the Committee-of-the-Whole recommend to City Council to

authorize the City Administrator to enter into an extended service plan for the Public

Safety patrol vehicles in an amount not to exceed $9,000.

Also in attendance were Scott Lockwood and Jim Rabine, Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick.


Motion by Granger, seconded by Bryant, that all items on tonight's agenda be received,

placed on file, taken in order of appearance.



No: None

Absent: None

The only item for discussion on tonight's agenda was regarding water/sewer rates.

The Committee wanted to know whether the methodology applied by Detroit for

calculating the rate increase 18.9% was fair, whether Mr. Rabine would recommend

Council adopt a resolution or write a letter to Detroit Water/Sewer Department DWSD

opposing the increase, whether Mr. Rabine would recommend Council adopt a

Resolution in favor of regional control, and what the probability is that the proposed

rates will change in July.

Jim Rabine distributed an informational sheet entitled, FY 2011/12 Water & Sewer Rate

Information, and provided an overview. Addressing water first, Mr. Rabine stated that

the same methodology was employed by Detroit that has been used for many years and

that it is fair based on a number of factors as outlined. Mr. Rabine did not recommend

adopting a Resolution challenging the water rate, but did offer to assist with composing

a letter to DWSD. Mr. Rabine stated he is in favor of Council adopting a Resolution in

favor of regional control.

Mr. Rabine stated that Public Hearings on rates will be held on February 23rd DWSD

and March 10, 2011 Detroit Council, and suggested Bill Westrick present the letter in

opposition to the rate increase.


02-14-11 - 11

Discussion ensued regarding whether a second sprinkler meter is beneficial, and Mr.

Rabine stated that it does not provide a savings. He also stated that return on

investment fees are returned to suburban customers first at a rate of 6.4%, and then to

Detroit residents.

The Chair declared a recess at 8:37 p.m., and reconvened at 8:48 p.m.

There was concurrence of the Committee to direct Administration to schedule a meeting

with a DWSD Representative in March.

There was a consensus of the Committee that the City Administrator and Jim Rabine

prepare a Resolution supporting regionalization of the Water Board.

There was a consensus of the Committee to prepare a letter for presentation to the

DWSD at their publlc hearing on February 23, 2011, to be signed by Mayor and Council,

opposing the l8.2-1B.9% water rate increase, and that Bill Westrick present the letter to

the Water Board on the City's behalf.

Discussion then ensued regarding the Treasurer/Comptroller - City Administrator's

memo dated February 10, 2011, stating, "The increase from the current rate to the

proposed rate `without tank' would have been 62.5%", over the last year. Between

2009/10 and 2010/11 Detroit revenues were reduced by $220,000, or 20%. The

proposed rate is up 18.2% from 2010. The rate increase from $10.21 last year to

$12.07 would have been increased to $16.58 without the tank according to Mr. Rabine,

Mr. Lockwood, and Ms. Irby.

The Committee then segued into discussing sewer rates. Mr. Rabine stated that Detroit

has caJculated revenue the same as in the past, with an approximate ll.5% increase.

Mr. Rabine reviewed the sewer portion of the handout and estimates Grosse Pointe

Woods' rate will be about the same as Wayne County 6.7%. Mr. Rabine will provide

rates the end of March or beginning of Apri. This item is to remain on the Committee-

of-the-Whole.

Motion by Bryant, seconded by Sucher, that the meeting of the Committee-of-the-Whole

be adjourned at 9:33 p.m. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Discussion ensued regarding amending the City's sign ordinance. The Mayor asked

Council to consider amending the Sign ordinance to allow for grandfathering the fifty-

one businesses as identified in the Building Department's list from October 2010, and

suggested that if the Committee decides to make a recommendation, that it be placed

on the Council agenda on February 28, 2011, in an effort to regulate neon, not ban it,

and to consider fairness to new businesses, and enforceability. The Mayor also stated

that something needs to be done timely, a temporary solution is needed, and there is

merit to grandfathering the businesses from the 2010 and 2002 lists to give the

Committee-of-the-Whole an opportunity to review the Sign Ordinance.

The Committee discussed incorporating the list of twenty-nine businesses from October

24, 2002, checking to be sure other businesses that removed their signs are not

excluded if they were granted permission, reinstating the original 2002 grandfathering

clause, violation concerns, regulating size, further addressing the ordinance at a future

Committee-of-the-Whole working with business owners and property owners, updating

the Sign Committee's original 2002 study, regulating "Open" signs, and inquired about

surrounding community sign ordinances.

The City Attorney explained the timeline, that if the ordinance amendment is published

on February 24, 2011, and City Council takes action on February 28, 2010, the effective


02-21-il - 13

date would be March 10, 2011. He further stated that the current ordinance violations

have not, and will not, be enforced through March 10, 2010.

Motion by Granger, seconded by Bryant, regarding Amendment to Sign Ordinance,

that the Committee-of-the-Whole recommend to the City Council to grandfather those

businesses on the list from October 24, 2002, and October 26, 2010, with the Building

Department, further that they would be removed on or before the first of the following

to occur: any change in the occupancy of the premises where the sign exists; any

subsequent alteration or replacement of any sign for any reason; or upon the filing of an

application with the Planning Commission or Building Official for signage changes on the

premises.

Substitute motion by Sucher, seconded by Howle, regarding Amendment to Sign

Ordinance, that the Committee-of-the-Whole recommend to City Council to repeal the

ban, or prohibition, on neon from the list of prohibited signs, Section 32-10bii

Substitute motion carried by the following vote:

Yes: Bryant, Howle, Ketels, McConaghy, Sucher

20025 Mack Plaza

Grosse Pointe Woods, Ml 48236-2397

Dear Ms. Hathaway,

Upon review of the enclosed dues renewal invoice, you will find that this year's renewal brings significant changes.

Beginning with the League's 201 0/11 fiscal year, we are continuing the freeze on your membership dues, and, in

addition, will no longer levy the Environmental Affairs Assessment. These changes represent a 12% reduction in the

overall dues payment. In no way does this reflect a reduction in the League's commitment to represent you on

environmental issues, but rather recognizes the financial challenges we all face. As always, you can count on us to be

your voice on issues that matter most to your community.

As we move forward and face the mounting challenges before us, the League is working for you to help create a more

prosperous state with vibrant communities. We support every member by leading advocacy efforts to support municipal

issues, providing free and low-cost education related to effective and efficient governance, and assisting and serving

local government officials in a host of other ways.

As pressures mount, we are working harder than ever in Lansing and Washington to preserve and promote municipal

interests on issues such as revenue sharing, transportation, CDBG funds, and maintaining local control. The 21st

Century Communities 21c3 is working to assist local officials in identifying, developing, and implementing programs

and strategies to enhance our member communities ability to be vibrant places for the 21st century. Further, our Legal

Defense Fund and Municipal Litigation Center continue to work to protect your interests in the courts and regulatory

arena.

The League's Board of Trustees recognizes the strained financial conditions present in many Michigan communities.

They know that for communities to survive, we must stand together and defend our interests. Alone your municipality is

one voice; but when combined with the voices of communities across Michigan, we can make a real difference.

Michigan Municipal League membership is one of the best investments your community can make. Take a moment to

review the enclosed brochure to see all of the innovative and proactive services that your membership provides. We

look forward to continuing our partnership with you.

Sincerely,

Daniel P. Gilmartin Carol Shafto

Cr `u/f

FROM: Joseph J Ahee, Jr., Director of Public WorksUk

DATE: January 31, 2011

SUBJECT: Recommendation - Pool Opening - Lake Front Park

B&B Pools and Spas has provided a proposal in the amount of $725000 for the

spring pool opening. B&B Pools has been servicing the pool satisfactorily since

1977 and has provided this service with no price increase since 2004. Moreover,

the warranty on the pool liner will be void if another company opens the pool and

damages the liner.

Based upon the positive history with B&B Pools and to preserve the pool liner

warranty, I do not see any advantage to seeking competitive bids for this proposal.

Therefore, I concur with the recommendation of Recreation Supervisor Melissa

Sharp and recommend that we extend the contract to B&B Pools and Spas, 31071

Industrial Rd., Livonia, MI 48150 for the spring opening of the pool in an amount

not to exceed $7,250.00. This is a budgeted item in the 2010/2011 fiscal year

budget in general ledger account 101-774-818.103 for pool maintenance

contractual services.

If you have any questions concerning this matter please contact me.

To: Joe Ahee, Director of Public Services

From: Melissa Sharp, Recreation Supervisor

Subject: Pool Opening

I have obtained a proposal for the spring pool opening from B&B Pools and Spas for

the amount of $7,250. This is the same price we've paid since 2004, when the price

was raised $100. For Pt' 201 0-1 1, $12,000 is budgeted in account 101-774-818.103

to cover the cost of pool opening, closing and maintenance of the pool. There is

$10,098 remaining in this fund, which will cover the cost of the pool opening.

B&B Pools and Spas has been servicing the GPW pool since 1 977 after the city had

constiuction and opening problems with other pool companies. Furthermore, the

warranty on the swimming pool liner would be voided if another company opens the

pool and damages the liner.

Due to the positive history with B&B Pools and to preserve the pool liner warranty, I

do not see any advantage to seeking competitive bids for this proposal.
