COMMUNICATIONS MISCELLANEOUS

July 31, 2007

Mayor James R. DeSana
All Council Members
3131 Biddle Avenue
Wyandotte, MI 48195

Dear Mayor and Council Members:

We have noted with interest the recent sale of One Perry Place and we look forward to having a new business on the waterfront.

We also have noted that the new owners of this property have made a request to the City of Wyandotte that we "assist" them in the demolition of the concrete block buildings near the street. As taxpayers in this city, we oppose such action. The change in ownership was a private matter between two individuals (or corporations) and we are certain that they were and are in business to make a profit. The cost of any change in the buildings, or the site, should be borne by the business. If our house needed a new roof, would the City of Wyandotte assist us? We believe not.

As our elected representatives, please vote against granting this request.

Sincerely yours,

Rick Lithgow and Charlotte Lithgow
1022 Antoine Street, Wyandotte, MI 48195

August 2, 2007

Mayor James R. DeSana and City Councilmembers:

We would are in the process of renovating our building located at 269 Oak Street and would like to add some outside improvements.

We would like to take out the grass patch on the Third Street side of the building and replace it with paving bricks similar to our neighborhood on our Oak Street side and comparable to the ones that the City has used on Biddle in front of City Hall.

Also, in front of the building on the Oak Street side we would like to put planter boxes either made of landscape brinks or raise them with squared off curbs such as the ones that line the curb in front of City Hall.

Thank you for any help you can provide, we appreciate your willingness to help and are open to suggestions.

Sincerely,

Carma S. Peters

CITY OF WYANDOTTE RESOLUTION

At a regular meeting of the Wyandotte City Council ("Council") called to order by The Honorable James R. DeSana, on August 6, 2007, the following resolution was offered:

Moved by Councilman Patrick J. Sutka
Supported by Councilman Johnny A. Kolakowski

WHEREAS, the Council has previously adopted a resolution to participate in an exploration of the feasibility of forming a consolidated fire department known as the Downriver Fire Authority ("DFA"), and

WHEREAS, the feasibility depends largely on whether a labor agreement can be reached which will be acceptable to the unions of all the cities, and which makes economic sense for each participating City, and

WHEREAS, the fire fighters have expressed a firm conviction that they cannot proceed with negotiations unless they have positive assurance that they will not lose any rights or benefits in the event that they become employees of the Downriver Fire Authority, and

WHEREAS, the City of Wyandotte has collectively bargained a labor agreement that 1) provides for a defined contribution pension plan for all employees hired after October 1, 2000 and 2) does not contain any minimum manning or staffing requirements, and

WHEREAS, the Interim Board of Directors of the DFA has approved an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to provide the needed assurance to the fire fighters, and

WHEREAS, said amendment requires ratification by each of the participating cities to be of legal force and effect, and

WHEREAS, the Council finds it to be in the interests of the citizens of the City of Wyandotte to make possible the continuation of the feasibility study by ratifying the action of the Interim Board of the DFA; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council hereby concurs with the action taken by the Interim Board of the DFA on June 28, to amend Article XV of its Articles of Incorporation as shown by the following language, with changes in bold face type and italics:

ARTICLE XV
PRESERVATIONS OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS AND BENEFITS:

Subject to the Willis and conditions provided in Section 10 of Act 57, the Authority may employ such personnel and employees as it may consider desirable and may retain from time to time the services of attorneys, accountants and other consultants as the Authority considers necessary to carry out the purpose of the Authority.

To the extent which is feasible the employees of each of the Cities whose duties are transferred to the Authority shall be given comparable positions of employment with the emergency service established by the Authority, and shall maintain their seniority status and all benefit rights of the position held with the City emergency service before such transfer, subject to the exceptions and provisions of Section 10 of Act 57. All employees transferred from employment with a specific City to employment with the Authority shall be grandfathered under the pension program in effect by their City on the effective day of the transfer. All new employees hired by the Authority, after the effective date of the transfer, shall be covered by a defined contribution pension plan, the elements of which shall be negotiated with the collective bargaining representative of the Authority's employees. The Authority shall have all of the powers provided by Section 10 of Act 57, and be subject to all of the provisions, restrictions and limitations therein with respect to employment.



Except as described in this Paragraph, any and all rights which employees have under Michigan law as employees of cities be, and the same are hereby, PRESERVED while serving as employees of the Authority, including, but not necessarily limited to, rights under Act 312 of 1969 and Act 336 of 1947. However, no minimum manpower or staffing requirements shall be collectively bargained by the Authority and its employee's representative or ordered by an arbitrator acting under the provisions of Act 312 of 1969 or these Articles of Incorporation.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that prior to the commencement of actual negotiations the Interim Board of Directors hire legal counsel and develop a budget for legal services, with each participating City paying a pro-rata share based upon an objective standard adopted by the Interim Board, such population or taxable valuation-tax base.
