FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES TAX ABATEMENT

APPLICATION FOR DAYCO AT 1799 GOVER PARKWAY AND CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE SAME

Attached are the materials and application that were included in the May 27 City Commission packet when the public hearing was set on this Industrial Facilities Tax Abatement request. The amended application includes a revised estimate of the number of jobs expected to be retained and added. These numbers are based on the business plan of the company, as opposed to the original projection, which was based on the capacity of the expanded facility. In addition, the company has requested an abatement of the new personal property that will be in the expanded facility. After holding the public hearing it is recommended the City Commission approve the attached resolution. This resolution rescinds the prior action on the original application and approves the amended application allowing for a ten year abatement on real property, which is the length of the lease, and six years on personal property. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the attached resolution approving an Industrial Facilities Tax Abatement for DAYCO. NJR/ap

COMMISSION LETTER #089-14 MEETING DATE: MAY 21, 2014

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION MAY 27, 2014

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIVE AMENDED INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES TAX ABATEMENT

APPLICATION FOR DAYCO AT 1799 GOVER PARKWAY AND SET PUBLIC HEARING FOR JUNE 9, 2014 ON THE SAME

In March 2014 the City Commission approved a tax abatement on real property for DAYCO. As indicated to you shortly after that, the company expressed some concerns with the job creation numbers provided on their application and desired to amend the numbers to provide more accurate projections. As explained in the attachments, the company has filed an amended application for your consideration which includes an abatement request for the $1.7 million real property addition as well as almost $3.7 million of personal property. The company has reviewed the job numbers and is more comfortable the retention of 114 jobs and the addition of 43 jobs are realistic over the next two years. Within the next five years, they expect the potential for 40 additional jobs beyond those listed above; however they are not included on the application since the application only looks at a two-year time frame for job creation. The only action needed at this meeting is to set the public hearing for consideration of their application. It is expected representatives from the company will be available at the June 9 City Commission meeting. Recommended Motion: Move to accept the amended application for Industrial Facilities Tax exemption and set a public hearing for June 9, 2014. NJR/ap



FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: BIDS AND QUOTATIONS

The collection of data needed to satisfy the requirements of the Stormwater, Asset Management and Wastewater (SAW) grant results in the need for an improved survey system. The attached recommendation from the Division of Public Works is for the purchase of hardware from Michigan Surveyor Supply at cost of $28,388 which is the only authorized reseller in the state. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the purchase of a GNSS Survey System from Michigan Surveyor Supplier for $28,388.

To: Nancy Ridley, Interim City Manager Date: 5/30/2014 From: Jason Moore, GIS Specialist Subject:

Purchase\Contract Recommendation

Summary Request: City Commission is requested to authorize the purchase of a Trimble GNSS Survey system.

Reason for Purchase: As part of the recently awarded SAW grant, the City proposed collection of high precision location data regarding the sanitary and storm water collection systems. This high accuracy GPS survey system will be used by the consulting engineer to gather that data. The cost of the system was estimated and accounted for in the grant application and the acquired quote from Michigan Surveyors Supply is within that estimate and will be covered by the grant. In addition to the work that will be accomplished for the grant this equipment will be used for other field surveys needed by the engineering department to accomplish its various ongoing design functions. Along with a number of technical benefits the system will bring, one big advantage will be in time saved during the survey process. The current system utilized requires a two person crew whereas this system will require only one.

Process: Hardware provider was selected because they are the only authorized Trimble reseller in the state and offer standard government pricing.

Michigan Surveyors Supply 5700 Aurelius Road Suite 500 Lansing, MI 48911

Reason for Selection: Standard government pricing from authorized reseller.

Method of Purchase: Contract or Direct Bill Recommendation: As this reseller offers standard government pricing for this hardware package, it is recommended that the City Commission authorize purchase of this survey system for the not to exceed amount of $28,388, which will be fully reimbursed by the SAW grant.



FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER FINAL APPROVAL OF FINAL TRAFFIC CONTROL ORDERS The following traffic control orders have been in place for 90 days and staff recommends they be approved as final orders.

FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER RESOLUTION SUPPORTING PROPOSAL 1 ON THE

AUGUST 5, 2014 BALLOT During 2013 and early 2014 the state legislature passed a number of bills related to personal property tax. The Michigan Municipal League (MML) worked closely with the Governor’s work group to clarify a number of the bills and clearly identify a replacement revenue source for local units of government. As you will hear during the presentation from City Attorney Scott Smith during the City Commission meeting on June 9th, MML, as well as a number of other entities are in support of the passage of proposal 1. The proposal language allocates the use tax revenue for local purposes and is attached for your review. If this proposal does not pass in August, all of the other recent legislation related to personal property tax is repealed. At that point, the legislature would likely revisit personal property tax again. We believe the work done by the work group and MML has resulted in a favorable result for cities in regard to the replacement of personal property tax revenue; and therefore recommend that you approve the attached standard resolution supporting the passage of this proposal. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the resolution supporting proposal 1 as drafted by the Michigan Municipal League. NJR/ap

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING PROPOSAL 1 ON THE AUGUST 5, 2014 BALLOT

WHEREAS, local governments in Michigan have struggled with unstable funding needed to provide services; and

WHEREAS, Michigan businesses have struggled with an uncompetitive tax on business; and

WHEREAS, small businesses and manufacturers power our economy and are the largest contributor to job growth in Michigan; and

WHEREAS, no other state in our region taxes business equipment the way Michigan does – and most of those states don’t tax it at all, which makes Michigan significantly less competitive when it comes to job creation and business investment; and

WHEREAS, Michigan communities have struggled for years to pay for essential services like police, fire, ambulances, schools and jails; and

WHEREAS, Michigan communities have relied on this shrinking source of Personal Property Tax revenue to provide other community services as well, including roads, transportation and libraries; and

WHEREAS, with bipartisan support the Michigan Legislature has voted to reform the antiquated personal property tax to help increase Michigan’s competitiveness with other states and remove an onerous tax that will allow more business investment and create more jobs while providing a stable revenue source for local communities; and

WHEREAS, this is not a constitutional amendment but the state constitution requires Michigan voters to approve certain changes in local taxes; and

WHEREAS, local governments have struggled with unstable funding needed to provide services and business have struggled with an uncompetitive tax on equipment for years; and

WHEREAS, Proposal 1 on the August 5, 2014 ballot, will make Michigan more competitive, which will help local communities to attract more businesses and talent and create local jobs; and

WHEREAS, Proposal 1 is supported by the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Townships Association, Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, Michigan Association of Police Organizations, Michigan Community College Association, Michigan Farm Bureau, the Small Business Association of Michigan, Michigan Sheriffs Association, Michigan Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Independent Businesses and the Michigan Manufacturers Association, among others; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City of Mt. Pleasant City Commission hereby expresses its strong support for Proposal 1 to eliminate the unfair double tax and strengthen our communities. We urge our residents to vote YES on Proposal 1 on the August 5, 2014, ballot.



FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE 2015-2019 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT

PLAN The proposed Capital Improvement Plan was presented to the City Commission on April 14, 2014. A presentation outlining the plan took place on April 28 followed by a public hearing on May 27. At the end of the May 27th meeting, a work session was held for the City Commission to discuss the plan. Three changes are recommended to the proposed plan based on the discussion of the work session. These changes include the following:

• Sharing the cost of new sidewalk construction thereby allowing additional sidewalks to be constructed each year

• Specificity on the proposed improvements for pedestrian lighting in 2015 to include the intersections at Main and High and Washington and High and utilizing remaining funds to install lighting on Washington north of High Street

• Additional projects added to the future year listing The revised pages showing the above changes are attached. It is recommended the City Commission approve the 2015-2019 Capital Improvement Plan as amended by these pages. Recommended Motion: Move to approve the 2015-2019 Capital Improvement Plan as presented. NJR/ap



FROM: NANCY RIDLEY, INTERIM CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: INTRODUCE AMENDMENT TO SECTION 93.08 OF THE MT.

PLEASANT CITY CODE SUBSECTIONS (A) AND (B) TO INCLUDE A REFERENCE TO PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL AND TO ADD SUBSECTION (C) TO PROHIBIT PERSONS FROM REMAINING WITHIN 300 FEET OF A FIRE EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JUNE 23, 2014 ON THE SAME

In April of this year an emergency ordinance was enacted that clarified the authority of fire officials; and created a misdemeanor for being within 300 feet of a fire. Because this ordinance was enacted as an emergency ordinance to deal with the immediate concerns, it expires on June 27, 2014. Staff feels the ordinance amendment gave police and fire departments an additional tool to deal with the fires. We therefore recommend the emergency ordinance become permanent; and a public hearing be set for June 23, 2014 to obtain public comment on the proposed ordinance. Recommended Motion: Move to accept the proposed ordinance language and set a public hearing for June 23, 2014. NJR/ap

MEMORANDUM
