Plymouth Township ranked second safest large community in Michigan!A recent statewide study has recognized Plymouth Township among the safest large (populati on 25,000+) communiti es in Michigan. Only Bloomfi eld Township was rated higher than Plymouth Township among large communiti es.

A nati onal research and consumer data fi rm, Value Penguin, analyzed the most up-to-date crime stati sti cs to determine the safety of nearly 200 Michigan communiti es. The stati sti cal scores do not refl ect actual crime rates, but they are a useful way to compare communiti es of equal populati on.

We congratulate our neighboring communiti es on this honor and we should all be proud of our positi on and the safety of the communiti es in which we live, work and play.

New ambulances delivered and on duty now Plymouth Township has taken delivery of two new Ford 550 mid-duty ambulances. These are state-of-the-art vehicles with the latest in onboard technology and options to improve patient care and provide a smoother ride. They will also reduce operating costs with more convenient maintenance access. Parts and service availability will be substantially improved as well. The net result of the new vehicles will be improved service delivery at a lower cost than old ambulances.

Police and Fire Millage Renewal Vote - February 24On February 24, voters in Plymouth Township will make a decision that affects every Township resident. The Police and Fire millages are up for vote, and we want you to have a good understanding of them and the impact on the community.

It is important to point out a few facts about this millage renewal.

• The current Police and Fire millages have expired and the continuation requires a vote of the citizens.

• This is a vote to renew the two expired Police and Fire millages. It is NOT a millage increase. This is ONLY a continuation of the existing millages.

• The funds generated from these millages can only be used for Police and Fire operations. To get a better understanding of the millages, please review the newsletter mailed to each Township residence last month. The newsletter can also be found on the Plymouth Township website at http://plymouthtwp.org/ReferenceDesk/E-NewsArchive/2015PDFDMillageRenew.pdf.

Safe Delivery: Township Public Safety employees trained and ready to assistMichigan’s Safe Delivery Act allows parents to safely surrender their newborn child no more than 72 hours old to an employee who is inside and on duty at any hospital, fire department, police station, or by calling 9-1-1.

Plymouth Township Police Officers and Firefighters are trained and able to take a newborn (or any child for that matter) and make sure they are safe.

GOING GREENER Household Hazardous Waste 101

What is household hazardous waste?

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous wastes are products that are dangerous or potentially harmful to our health or the environment. For the average homeowner products that are considered hazardous include paints, stains, fertilizers and pesticides, automobile fluids and electronics. Proper disposal of these types of waste is essential to protecting our health and environment for now and generations to come.

How can you reduce waste and help the environment?Rather than using hazardous chemicals, there are some greener alternatives. Try using some of these alternative solutions around your home. They will not only keep your house less toxic, they may even save you money, too!

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEWSTwo communities, one partnership.$620 million investment and up to 9,000 jobs.There will soon be a new advanced-technology business corridor along Five Mile in Plymouth Township and Northville Township. The two communiti es, working with state and Wayne County economic development offi cials, have formed the Michigan Internati onal Technology Center (MITC) to market some 800 acres on either side of Five Mile between Beck and Napier. This property is ideal for fi rms in the high-tech, life sciences and automoti ve fi elds looking for Detroit-area locati ons.

Parcels could be available later this year, though major constructi on isn’t likely unti l next year. Several companies have already shown interest in the MITC. The acreage could support up to 5 million square feet of faciliti es, $620 million in investment and more than 9,000 jobs. The MITC will be asking the Michigan Department of Transportati on and Wayne County for upgrades to Five Mile in that area.

The MITC idea is a natural expansion of the nearby Metro West industrial parks in Plymouth Township, which hosts a number of foreign fi rms. Wes Graff , president of the Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce, said the locati on is well-placed to att ract a work force with the skills high-tech companies need, noti ng the proximity of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. “The MITC represents our future in the global marketplace,” Graff wrote in an email. “It conti nues our strength of att racti ng high-tech and internati onal companies to our community and this region.”

PARKS AND RECREATION UPDATEPlymouth Township Park enhancements beginWe are pleased to announce construction on the year-round pavilion is well under way and taking shape nicely. The foundation is in, framing is up, and roof trusses will go up next. Plans are to have the pavilion ready for this year’s baseball and softball seasons.

The 3,800 square feet structure is near the park’s ball fields and sledding hill. It is designed for baseball, softball, sledding, picnics and other park events. It includes about 1,600 square feet of indoor space, in which people can warm up on chilly days, plus a small kitchenette and sheltered picnic space. The addition of snow-making machinery is planned, which will coat the sledding hill during winters when there is little precipitation.

Funding for the park enhancements is coming from a capital improvements budget of $2.55 million that the Board of Trustees approved in 2013, a budget that included the proceeds from a $1.9 million bond sale just over a year ago, plus grant money and donations. Grants and gifts will pay close to half the cost of the pavilion.

New park bridges, repaved lot, maintenance and moreAlso paid through grant money – specifically Federal Community Development Block Grant money – is most of the cost of two new bridges over the creek that runs through the park. The aluminum bridges, roughly 25 feet each, make for easier access to the park’s fishing dock.

We will be expanding and repaving the 158-space parking lot near the ball fields, replacing the leaking roof on the main pavilion, resurfacing the deteriorated 30-year old walking path as well as the sprayscape pad, which has worn out over time due to its popularity. In addition, the Township will be conducting annual safety repairs on all playgrounds and equipment.

Parks and Recreation Borrowed Funds Overview Twelve years ago the Township borrowed $1.2 million at 3.6% interest to construct the Lake Pointe Soccer Park and that debt will be paid off this year. The former debt has been replaced with a new 10-year $1.9 million loan at 2.16% interest. $400,000 of the loan is being used for Department of Public Works capital improvements and will be repaid from the water and sewer budget. Hilltop Golf Course was allocated $355,000 for upgrades and deferred maintenance costs.

The remaining $1,145,000 is being used for park enhancements and deferred maintenance. Township administration has secured an additional $585,000 in grants and donations, creating a total of $1,730,000 for park enhancements and maintenance.

The Plymouth Township Parks and Recreation budget has two line items – operations and debt payments. This new loan will NOT create any additional taxes and will be covered by the Township Parks and Recreation budget - debt payment line item.

TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR’S LETTER

Growing Plymouth TownshipHappy New Year! It’s an exciti ng ti me for us as we conti nue our progress in making Plymouth Township a great place to live, work and play! I would like to share just a few recent accomplishments and plans for the year ahead.

The past several years have brought some tough economic challenges for everyone, but together we have weathered the storm. We made cuts in programs, employees agreed to concessions, staffi ng levels were reduced, and the Township refi nanced its debt. We have come out of it with safe staffi ng levels and even earned the disti ncti on of being recognized as Michigan’s second safest large community.

More options for funRecreati onal opportuniti es are a major factor in a community’s quality of life and a big reason Plymouth Township is consistently ranked among the best places to live in Michigan, as well as the United States. We’re expanding those opportuniti es with a new all season pavilion in Plymouth Township Park, plus other enhancements to make the park more convenient, accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Business is booming As we move into 2015 there is substanti al economic development taking place. Over the past several months, Township businesses have made expansion commitments totaling over $150 million, which will add almost 900 jobs! Our new partnership with Northville Township has created the Michigan Internati onal Technology Center, with the potenti al for over $600 million in capital investments as well as 9,000 jobs!

The capital investments by the companies menti oned on pages 6 and 7 will produce roughly $45 million in new annual payroll fl owing into the State of Michigan and Plymouth Township. Many of these dollars will be spent locally on personal services, food, entertainment, fuel, and housing. This all supports increasing home values, which for most people is their single largest asset.

The Year AheadThis year, we will conti nue with a strong focus on economic development as well as improving the quality of life for every resident and business in Plymouth Township. We will maintain our solid “pro business” stance, recruiti ng new companies, bringing in new jobs and revenue, and working with existi ng businesses to expand their operati ons.

I am confi dent about the future of Plymouth Township as we conti nue to make this a great place to live, work and play. I welcome your input and questi ons. You can write to me at rreaume@plymouthtwp.org or call 734-354-3201.

Sincerely,

Richard Reaume Township Supervisor

PROPOSAL 1 PROPOSAL 2 CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF PLYMOUTH CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF PLYMOUTH PROPOSITION FOR RENEWAL OF PROPOSITION FOR RENEWAL OF POLICE AND FIRE PUBLIC SAFETY MILLAGE POLICE AND FIRE PUBLIC SAFETY MILLAGE

Why not just combine the two millages into one?The two millages need to be kept separate to qualify as renewals. By state law, if they were to be combined, they would no longer be classified as renewals. The new combined millage would have to be classified on the election ballot as a millage increase, instead of millage renewals.

If the millages fail, what will happen?The fact is there will be insufficient funds to continue the present level of Public Safety in Plymouth Township. Difficult decisions would need to be made regarding the reduction of Public Safety staffing and coverage, which would affect public safety operations.

The Plymouth Township General Fund is $13.6 million, and 63% of that ($8.6 million) is allocated to Public Safety, including Police, Fire and Dispatch staffing and operations. The millage renewal represents $3.6 million of the total $8.6 million Public Safety budget.

DID YOUKNOW?

This is a renewal of police and fire millage being levied presently. Shall the previously voted 0.5631 mill increase in the tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution on general ad valorem taxes within the Charter Township of Plymouth be renewed at 0.5631 mills ($0.5631 per $1,000 of taxable value) for the period of 2016 through 2035, inclusive and the funds thereby derived to be used for police and fire services for the Charter Township of Plymouth, thereby raising in the first year $955,934.
