COMMUNICATIONS MISCELLANEOUS
March 1, 2007
To the Mayor and Councilmembers:
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members,
I would like to invite you to our annual St. Patrick’s Day Mass.
Also all the citizens of Downriver are invited as well.
The mass will be held on Saturday, March 17th at 12 noon. It will
be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church, at Elm and 4th Street, in
Wyandotte.
We will again have the Heinzman Irish step dancers and also a
bagpiper.
This is the tenth year we have sponsored this mass.
After the mass there will be a coffee and cake reception in the
church hall which everyone is invited to attend.
Thank you for forwarding the information for us.
Sincerely,
Jo Clark, Secretary of the Downriver Irish American Club

Mayor and Council, 3131 Biddle Avenue, Wyandotte, MI 48192
Dear Mayor and Council:
The Wyandotte Business Association is desirous of creating an
additional annual weekend event, to be planned and executed by our
organization with only modest support from City services. This new
event will serve as our expanded 3rd Friday theme for the month of
October, and will be a second (and expanded) Crafter's Alley
Mini-Fair, with an Autumn Festival theme. With possible
augmentations such as elements from Heritage Days, we feel this
event has the potential to be highly successful and valued by our
citizens as yet another good reason to live in Wyandotte.
We request permission from Mayor and Council to cordon off First
Street between Oak Street and Maple Street, and Elm Street between
Biddle Avenue and the parking lot entrance to CVS Pharmacy on Elm:
Exactly as it is during the Street Art Fair. The event is a 2 day
affair: Friday and Saturday, October 19th and 20th. Therefore, the
barricades would have to be in place at 7:00am or so on Thursday
the 18th, and would be removed by 6:00pm on Sunday the 21''.
Parking for the crafters would be at Yak Arena parking lot. All
specifics such as security and portable toilets will be our
responsibility.
We intend to utilize the services of portable food vendors, and
thereby require electricity and water hook-ups (details to
follow), although this would be limited to probably 3 vendors that
do something our local restaurants don't, such as Elephant Ears,
Pecans/Cashews, Cotton Candy and the like. We envision a very
active and busy weekend, providing much needed traffic and revenue
for these restaurants, as well as all of the merchants in this
area.
We further request the use of the City's Show Mobile, most likely
serving as the end-cap at CVS, facing the fair. Entertainment is a
significant, though not primary feature of this event.
Implementation of this event would not require the services or
time of Lisa Hooper, although she would be more than welcome to
augment and participate if deemed appropriate. In years past, we
have had pumpkin carvings, mini-animal petting zoos, apple
bobbing, and other such fun for children, and this would be a
wonderful opportunity to do something along those lines.
Complete details are incomplete at this point, but we need
permission from Mayor and Council to enable us to move forward and
make this happen in such a way as to make everyone glad we did it!
Very truly yours,
Peter Rose, Vice-President, Wyandotte Business Association

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY AND OTHER OFFICIALS
March 5, 2007
Honorable Mayor James DeSana and City Council
City of Wyandotte, Michigan
Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:
At the meeting of February 28, 2007, the Wyandotte Recreation
Commission reviewed information compiled by the Superintendent of
Recreation for the acceptance of a lease agreement with Pifer,
Inc., of Holly, Michigan for 24 reconditioned electric golf cars
w/tops.
The new lease is a full-service lease for $650 per car/per year. A
trade-in credit for 22 cars at $300 per car will be deducted
during the first year. Total payments are as follows:
· 2007 - $ 9,000
· 2008 - $15,600
· 2009 - $15,600
At times last season, revenue was lost when golfers could not be
accommodated due to the unavailability of cars because of
breakdowns. Through 2005, DPS mechanics performed maintenance work
on golf cars. With a reduction in staff, this was not possible in
2006. Brad Schmidt, Yack Arena Maintenance Foreman, was available
to perform the mechanical work on these cars as the Yack was
closed for renovations during the summer of 2006. Mr. Schmidt
spent more than a day per week performing this work. He will not
be available in 2007.
To hire an outside firm or mechanic to complete repairs is much
too costly as proven in past years. In 2006, over $4,100 was spent
on parts alone, $2,480 to lease an additional five cars during the
summer, plus the untold cost for labor to repair these cars. The
majority of these10-year-old cars are in need of repairs to their
brakes, brake cables and replacement of their batteries. The
minimum cost for battery and brake cable replacement is over
$10,000 for parts and materials. This does not include any labor
or other problems that may arise.
This three-year full service lease will be a cost saving measure
for the City of Wyandotte and ultimately provide better and more
dependable service for those individuals utilizing the Wyandotte
Shores Golf Course. As we all know, golf is a service-driven
business.
A motion was made by Commissioner Dale Brennan and supported by
Commissioner Loya, to recommend acceptance of this lease
agreement.
Sincerely yours,
James R. Knopp, Superintendent of Recreation
March 7, 2007
Honorable Mayor James DeSana
and City Council City of Wyandotte Michigan
Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:
At the meeting of February 28, 2007, the Wyandotte Recreation
Commission reviewed Bid File #4419 – Yack Arena Ice Resurfacer.
Only one bid was received: Charles R. Mueller & Sons, Inc., 75
Lafayette St., Mt. Clemens, MI 48043 Zamboni Model 540 - $75,590.
The Yack Arena has received excellent service and support from
Muellers & Sons for over 30 years and they were the supplier of
our present Zamboni.
A motion was made by Commissioner Rosemary Bucska, and supported
by Commissioner Margaret Loya, to recommend to the Council
acceptance of this bid in the best interest of the City of
Wyandotte.
During the budget process, $80,000 was budgeted for this item. A
short-term loan, known as an installment purchase agreement, will
be used for this purchase. Funding will come from the debt levy.
We, the undersigned recommend acceptance of this bid as approved
by the Recreation Commission.
Sincerely yours,
James R. Knopp, Superintendent of Recreation
Todd A. Drysdale, Director of Financial & Administrative Services

Honorable Mayor James DeSana and City Council
City of Wyandotte, Michigan
Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:
In response to the petition of Hazel Woodruff and others
concerning the Memorial Pool, the following facts are available:
A. Using figures supplied by Wilkie & Zanley Architects,
Wyandotte, MI, the cost to make the swimming pool operable along
with doing the necessary work to replace the sliding doors and all
the deteriorated upper pool panels, along with making the locker
rooms ADA accessible as required by law, but not doing other work
that should be done, is $1,215,000.
B. All pool personnel must be property trained and certified. This
includes satisfactorily passing the required Red Cross Swimming
requirements along with certification in First Aid and CPR. These
certifications must be constantly renewed by the pool personnel.
Volunteers could just not be placed in these positions.
C. Yearly appropriations to provide staff and maintenance for the
pool, depending on the extent of programming, could go from
$50,000 to $75,000.
We the undersigned, during these current economic conditions,
support the decision of the Budget Committee that was made in
2005.
Sincerely yours,
James R. Knopp, Superintendent of Recreation

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CONTROL ORDER 2007-002
The Police Administration received a recommendation from the
Traffic Bureau for approval for "Handicap Parking Sign
Installation" at 1039 18th, Wyandotte, Michigan. Concluding review
of this request, and in concurrence with Sergeant Pouliot's
recommendation, this letter serves as a recommendation for Council

SUBJECT: CEDAR & FORT STREET
This letter is in response to Council Resolution relative to Dr.
Atto's request for permission to park alongside of the office on
Cedar Street east of Fort Street. Sergeant Pouliot, with
concurrence of the undersigned, recommends changing the current 30
minute parking restriction to 90 minute parking on Cedar Street.
Changing of the time limit should allow for sufficient time for
Dr. Atto's patients to be seen in the office. It is further
recommended the staff use the parking lot south of the building,
which is owned by Dr. Atto, to allow for additional parking. Due
to area businesses, it is not recommended to lift timed parking.
Sergeant Pouliot contacted Dr. Atto and advised him of the above
recommendation. If there are any additional questions, please feel
free to contact my office at extension 4421.
Sincerely,
Bob Heck Chief of Police

LATE ITEM
March 12, 2007
The Honorable Mayor James R. DeSana And City Council
City Hall, Wyandotte, Michigan
Dear Mayor DeSana and City Council Members:
It has been brought to our attention that the owners of 649 Plum,
Wyandotte is in the process of losing their home for non-payment
of the mortgage. The City of Wyandotte has two (2) Rehabilitation
Deferred Loan Liens on the property totaling $22,448.00. The
Owner's Son has made arrangements to purchase the property from
Richard Custer of Destiny Construction (who would purchase
existing Sheriff's Deed) for the amount of the mortgage. Mr.
Custer has agreed to sell the property back to owner's son on a
land contract.
This letter is to request your concurrence on releasing the
original lien to the owners of the property provided Mr. Custer
would execute a new lien for the total outstanding balance. A
condition of the lien would be if Mr. Custer forecloses on the
land contract the City would release the lien with Mr. Custer
provided the home is demolished and Mr. Cluster constructs a new
single family dwelling within 12 months of the conclusion of
foreclosure or forfeiture.
If you concur with this recommendation, the attached Resolution
will authorize the City Attorney to prepare the necessary
document.
Very truly yours,
Mark A. Kowalewski, City Engineer
