Honorable Mayor James DeSana and City Council City of Wyandotte

Dear Mayor and Council:

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Michigan Chapter has chosen Bishop Park as the preferred site for the 2007 Downriver Light The Night Walk to be held on Friday, September 21, 2007. New to the Wyandotte area, the Light The Night Walk is an annual blood cancer awareness and fundraising event held each year in the Downriver community. The event is free to the public and occurs from 6 to 9 p.m., just as the sun is beginning to set. Supporters and Survivors hold illuminated balloons during the symbolic walk. With the increased prevalence of blood cancers in the Downriver area, our Light The Night Walk is well attended each year (rain or shine). We expect between 200-250 participants (representing the Downriver community and beyond) in attendance.

This event is to be planned and implemented by staff from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and our local community volunteers, with minimal support needed from City services. As discussed with Mayor DeSana at our March 14th meeting, Lisa Hooper will be assisting us in the procurement of additional tables and we will be renting out the use of the Park's Log Cabin for the evening. The Walk path, which was recommended by the Department of Recreation is detailed on the second page of this document. Per our conversations with James R. Knopp, Bishop Park is open to the public, and the Department of Recreation has approved our event to be held on said date.

A family celebration, our committee works to ensure the event's food, entertainment, etc. are all donated by local sponsors. Participants enjoy clowns and face painting by (city favorite) Cary Ann's Clown Caravan and for this reason we will be setting up 2 to 3 10x10 tents just South of the main pavilion. Electricity should not be an issue, but this factor is still undetermined based on the availability of the City's Show Mobile.

Thus, we request the use of the City's Show Mobile, if not being used by the Wyandotte Business Association that evening, to be set up just North West of the main pavilion in the Park. A short entertainment program is planned for the conclusion of the Walk and although it is significant, it is not the primary feature of this event.

We truly believe this Walk has incredible potential in the Wyandotte community, not only to create awareness for the Society's mission to cure blood cancers, but also to bring additional foot traffic and revenue into Wyandotte's downtown establishments.

Complete event specifics are still being finalized, but we would appreciate the permission from the Mayor and Council to use the street route we have outlined in the attached document.

Most Sincerely,
Shannon Anderson, Campaign Coordinator The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:

SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CONTROL ORDER 2007-003

The Police Administration received a recommendation from the Traffic Bureau for approval for "Handicap Parking Sign Installation" at 4092 17th, Wyandotte, Michigan. Concluding review of this request, and in concurrence with Sergeant Pouliot's recommendation, this letter serves as a recommendation for Council approval of Traffic Control Order 2007-003 as specified on said order.

Sincerely,
Daniel J. Grant, Chief of Police

March 22, 2007

Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Wyandotte

Dear Mayor and City Council Members:

We the undersigned have reviewed the special event application for an event to be held Sept. 29 and 30, 2007 as requested by the Native Indian Services, Inc. and would recommend its approval to the City Council based upon the attached description and addendums with the following comments and conditions.

The applicant shall provide a $500 deposit to assure clean up or that any damage within the park would be mitigated and that payment for City Services including DPS and Police security in the total amount of $2292.44 be provided one month prior to the event. It has been determined that RV Parking for up to ten vehicles will be available at the River Front parking lot #1.

Gary Ellison, James Knopp and myself met with Brian Halfday and Fay Givens March 7, 2007 to discuss the proposal. Gary Ellison has identified DPS costs to be billed at $1,092.44. Police Chief Dan Grant has identified one officer for security with a cost of $1,200 to be billed to Native Indian Services, Inc. James Knopp has reviewed the location; the area to be fenced off for use will allow unrestricted access to the playscape and river walkway outside of this fenced area.

The attached request from Native Indian Services, Inc. follows the Special Events Permit request format. The letter and addendum indicates that they would provide the necessary forms for the City to be held harmless and the applicant will also insure the City of Wyandotte and furnish insurance as required and would cover associated expenses as identified.

As Executive Director for the Downtown Development Authority I have reviewed this event letter and its addendum for completeness. We appreciate your support of the attached resolution.

Sincerely,

Lisa Hooper Mark Kowalewski James Knopp

Parcel No. 57-022 05 0001 300 - 740 Marshall

Dear Mayor and Council:

On March 13, 2007, this office received notification that the Board of Review for the City of Wyandotte had denied the appeal of David H. Nelson and Irene Nelson, his wife, regarding the valuation of the above listed properties. Please consider this correspondence as an appeal of that decision as is required by the municipal administrative regulations.

It is the contention of the property owner that the property is valued at double its true cash value in violation of the State Constitution and state law. We ask that you review the file documents submitted to the Board of Appeals, together with copies of the evaluation provided by Treadwell and Associates and grant the appeal of the Mr. and Mrs. Nelson.

It is out contention that the true cash value of the combined properties does not exceed $490,000.00, with a combined SEV of not to exceed $245,000.00. It is not the intention of Mr. or Mrs. Nelson to appear before the Council unless requested to do so. Any request for their appearance can be directed to this office at the address indicated above.

Sincerely yours,
LOGAN, HUCHLA & WYCOFF, P.C.

RE: 57 006 07 0037 002
1555 Cora

To Whom It May Concern:

I, Aaron Nihiser, the owner of the above mentioned property feel the Taxable Value of my property should be reduced to $37,500. Although the Board of Review did agree to revise my Taxable Value to $45,000, I feel this is still too high. I purchased my home for $75,000 and since then, property values have only decreased. I have included 3 comparable properties that sold in the city of Wyandotte in 2006.

The property located at 383 Kings Highway sold for $68,000 on 11/7/06. This house has 4 bedrooms where my house only has 3. The property also has a 1.5 car detached garage and my property does not have a garage.

The property located at 1464 17th sold for $86,000 on 9/19/06. This house is brick where my house is vinyl sided. This house also has a 1 car detached garage and my property does not have a garage. I feel if adjustments were made to this comparable for the brick exterior and the garage the adjusted value would be $70,000. I feel a deduction of $10,000 for the brick exterior and $6,000 for the garage are fair amounts.

The property located at 3862 16th sold for $90,000 on 2/22/06. This house has a 1.5 car detached garage where my property does not. I feel after adjustments were made for this comparable, the adjusted value would be $72,000. I feel a deduction of $8,000 for the garage and $10,000 for the location of the property are fair amounts. The property is located in what is perceived as a better area of the city than my property with it being farther from the rail road tracks.

I have highlighted the similarities and differences on the attached comparables.

Sincerely,

Aaron Nihiser

Wyandotte City Clerk, March 18, 2007

Thank you for lowering my State Equalized value and taxable value for 2007 on 3334 15th to $59,000. However, I feel as though the amount may still be too high. I'm certain in this market I may have trouble selling this property for more than $100,000 because the location is the 1st property off of Eureka road. The identical property right next door to me sold recently (which I have enclosed) for $115,000. However, the difference is, this property has a 2 car garage, a finished basement, 2 full baths and doesn't sit next to the alley on Eureka road. I would greatly appreciate it if you would reconsider the value. Being a local realtor, every dollar counts in market this slow to be financially able to make my payment.

Thank you, Glen Hoyt 313-350-2323, 19301 Brody, Allen Park, MI 48101

Regarding assessment #57 010 03 0013 000
156 Cedar

Dear Mayor and Council,

I am writing to appeal the decision of the Board of Review and Assessment regarding my 2007 Property Tax. Although I was poorly prepared for the initial appeal process, so therefore had little information to support my claim, I have had time to properly investigate and was shocked by my findings. To access an increase in taxable value to a property, there needs to be an increase in value. My investigation of surrounding like properties shows that my property may not even be worth what I paid for it in the summer of 1999, $119,000.

The paperwork I was supplied indicated that my State Equalized Value (SEV) increased by 5%, based on the consumer price index from $89,400 to $94,800 and the Taxable Value was increased by 3.7%, based on the rate of inflation from $65,323 to $67,739. This means in plain English that my state estimated or real value for this property is currently $178,800 and increasing to $189,600. My investigation shows that these proposed increases are not reasonable or supportable.

Review of the state of Michigan website (Michigan.gov) showed a consumers price index and inflation rates table that was prepared for the "Economic Report of the Governor" on 1/19/2007 that clearly shows the reported inflation rates for both 2005 and 2006 as not equaling the 5% increase indicated in the "State equalized value' or even the 3.7% increase in the "Taxable value". It shows figures of 2.9% for 2005 and 3.0% for 2006 for metro Detroit and 3.4% for 2005 and 3.2% for 2006 nationally (copy attached).

Review of public documentation from MLS listings shows that the average home value in Wyandotte is $134,000. Review of 2006 sales figures of similar properties with-in .5 miles of my home shows that my property may fall well below that average. The average sold price over the last year for homes in my direct area was $84,364.14.. If we look at these figures alone, this shows that my property is over assessed by over 100% at the current rate prior to the new proposed rate.
(see table and notes for "3/20/2006 data for surrounding sale prices of similar near by properties for the last year" attached)

Review of homes currently for sale in Wyandotte as a whole showed only a few that could be considered a close match. In all instances, they were listed well below my current and proposed assessed value of my home and the area median value. The average values for the entire City at $128,114.28 This is below the median value and well below what is listed as the SEV for my property.
(see table and notes for "3/20/2006 data for similar homes currently for sale with-in Wyandotte" attached)

Supporting notes and examples:

Example 1
Reduced property values
US News, the Detroit News and Free Press have both reported decreased property values with figures approaching as much as 20% for this market. This trend was recently confirmed by a close friend and neighbor when he had his house re-assessed for possible re-mortgage to close a recently acquired home equity loan (value drop from —175 to 154K over a 2 year period (his assessment results came back with-in the past 3 weeks)

Example 2:
A slow and soft market
A large duplex unit across the street from my residence (143/149 Cedar) was recently marketed with an asking price of $179K with no takers and was taken off the market. This property was estimated at being worth in excess of 200K. Additionally within a 1/2 mile radius of my home, there were no home sales listed for 2007 in that same radius, there is at least l home on my street that has been for sale for over 1 year, and 1 within a 5 block radius for sale for over 3 years that I am aware of.

Example 3
Urban decay
I am in a neighborhood that is showing signs of real decay. The property 165 Cedar, at the corner of Cedar and 2nd has been foreclosed on and is currently vacant and in need of much exterior repair. The property 164 Cedar, 2149/2147 2nd directly next to me, a 4 unit rental has been vacant for nearly 4 years (June will be the anniversary) and although neatly kept is showing signs of decay and neglect. These properties are having a direct and negative effect on my property value and, there are many others like this in the area in similar states of ownership and disrepair that are negatively affecting property values for the entire area.

3/20/2006 data for similar homes currently for sale with-in Wyandotte:
Address Listedasking price Notes:
1851 McKinley $114,900 Brick home, Same square footage, similar garage/ lotSize
95 Cedar $174,900 Much larger home, similar age/ construction style,smaller lot, no garage
364 North Dr $144,900 Larger home, Similar age/ construction style, similar lotSize, on canal with water frontage.
265 Ford $169,900 Brick home, similar construction, similar lot size
1804 2nd St $99,900 Similar size, construction, smaller lot
1851 4th St $97,400 Similar size home, smaller lot, garage unknown
639 Kings $94,900 Similar size home, construction and age, similar lot.
Total similar Average These are the listed asking prices only.
properties: 7 price: _ Information gathered from: trulia.com/MI/Wyandotte
$128,114.28 And Buymerealty.com

These homes were selected due to similarities in age, construction and appearance and features to my property. Many had more square footage and better sheathing (2 with brick exteriors and 1 with Cedar siding). Additionally, I have found many as being on the market for in excess of 90 days most listed as price reduced, bring all reasonable offers and have even seen offers of “creative financing” in the form of land contract terms to attract potential bidders. Worst of all in most instances, the prices were incredibly low.

3/20/2006 data for surrounding sale prices of similar near by properties for the last year:
Address distance Sales price Sales date Descriptions/Notes:
245 Cedar .08mi $94,000 7/26/2006 Similar construction, slightly smallerHome

Total similar Average Average I could find no readily available sales data from
properties: 7 distance: price: 2005. Information gathered from: Homegain.com
.253mi $84, 364.14
As noted in the description column, there were no direct comparables due to the varying lot sizes and architecture styles in the area but these were close.

This market is very slow and property value is on the decline. I ask what data the City has to support that this neighborhood has consistently increased in value when I have friends living in other neighborhoods that have not seen an increase and justifiably so from my findings, in the last 2 years. The burden should be on you substantiate this proposed increase, not on me to fight it.

Thanks in advance for your consideration,

Brian A. Murphy

March 22, 2007

Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council:

I am appealing to you based on my dissatisfaction with the outcome of the Board of Review's decision regarding my property at 1341 Spruce Street. I went to the Board of Review not to question the Tentative Taxable Value of my home but rather the Accessed Value. I stated to the Board of Review that I discussed the sale of my house with some Realtors regarding its value.
My house is 1440 square feet with an attached garage and the City states that the market value of my house is $218,200

The Realtors told me that if I were to list my home, I should present a starting price in the low to mid $190,000 and hope for an outcome somewhere in the $180,000's. Being optimistic I'm hoping that they meant the high $180,000's. I appealed to the Board of Review for a reduction to $188,000.

Bear in mine that my current Taxable Value as it relates to Market Value is $155,482. I was not asking the Board of Review for a decrease in my Taxable Value rather I was asking for a correction of my Assessed Value (SEV). I also explained to the Board of Review that I have a "new construction" home "For Sale" in the City of Taylor, Michigan similar to my house but larger (it is 2000 square feet) on a lot that cost $45,000 that has been on the market for almost two years with an asking price of $219,000 and it still remains "For Sale". However somehow the Board of Review saw it fit to say that the reason I have no reduction in the value of my property was that "there was no indication of value provided by petitioner".

I did my part and then having presented these statements to the Board of Review. I question why the Assessor's Office (as the City Assessor was presented at the Board of Review Meeting) did not follow up under the guidelines of the Purpose Statement of the Office of the City Assessor which I conveniently provided you with a copy of as taken directly from the City of Wyandotte's Web Site. Please read the attached Purpose Statement into record. I guess that I could understand their rejection if they had shown how the value of $218,200 could be justified.

I appeal to you the Honorable Mayor and City Council to review this value with an objective mind and hope that you understand the State of Michigan economy that we are living in, or at the very least ask the Board of Review to justify the $218,200 assessment with actual facts or comparisons of their own.

In closing, I hope that you will look at this appeal objectively, thoroughly, and on your own remembering that the appeals process is a court like procedure and I hope that my appeal will not consist of you asking the board of review whether or not they felt that they did a good job in this case, but will consist of this Board requiring the board of review to properly support the value of $218,200 with actual data because I cannot find any to support their position.

Please reduce my Assessed State Equalized Value to $188,000.

Sincerely,
Mark T. Cole
