Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
Attached please find for your action and support, a copy of the

February 5, 2008
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Wyandotte 3131 Biddle Avenue Wyandotte, MI 48192
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The DDA Board has indicated they are concerned over the
appearance of the parking lots and the vacant lots owned by the
City along Oak and between First and Second Street (near Teezers).
They also realize the potential of that lot for private
development and that a significant resurfacing and design
changes or improvements would not be prudent at this time, but
they are looking for a solution. The vacant lot along Oak Street
and east of Teezers is current unpaved. The DDA would like to
discuss the most cost effective and most maintenance and
liability free manner to utilize this lot for overflow parking
for events and to keep up appearances at a gateway to our
downtown.
Further, they are acutely aware that apartment users and
residential uses in the downtown area park their cars overnight
in that lot particularly (and others) and are concerned over the
liability as well as the reduction of parking spots for
customers during the day.
To this end, the DDA would like to let the Mayor and City
Council know of their sincere interest to work with Engineering
Dept. Police Chief and appropriate Dept. Heads. Their wish is to
devise an interim solution to address the concern of overnight
parking and address parking lot maintenance until such time as a
permanent design change would be more accommodating of adjacent
development opportunities.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Lisa Hooper, AICP, Executive Director, DDA

Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:

The Honorable James R. DeSana, Mayor and City Council Members
3131 Biddle Avenue
Wyandotte, Michigan 48192
Dear Mayor DeSana and City Council Members,
Attached you will find a proposal to amend the adoption
procedures relative to the City of Wyandotte Animal Control
facility. Through the efforts of the volunteer group who assists
at the facility, a low-cost animal care provider has been
identified that will provide preliminary veterinary services,
including vaccination and sterilization, to animals who will be
adopted.
The current cost to adopt an animal from our facility is $40.00.
Per the contract signed by the adopter, sterilization and
licensure is a requirement for adoption and a refund of $25.00
is given upon proof of compliance. The proceeds received from
these adoptions are used exclusively for care of animals at the
animal control facility.
The new adoption fees will range from $60.00 to $85.00. The
additional fees will cover the veterinary services outlined on
the attachment as well as licensure for City residents.
Remaining proceeds will continue to be restricted for the sole
use of caring for animals at the facility.
The undersigned recommends concurrence with this proposal and
changes to the adoption policies at our animal control facility.
Sincerely,
Todd A. Drysdale, Director of Financial and Administrative
Services
February 5, 2008
The Honorable James R. DeSana, Mayor and City Council Members
3131 Biddle Avenue
Wyandotte, Michigan 48192
Dear Mayor DeSana and City Council Members,
The undersigned recommends that the City Council adopt a policy
that requires the solicitation for external applicants when a
vacant position exists within the City. Note that the selection
process for police and fire personnel, as defined by the
collective bargaining agreement, will not change.
This requirement to solicit for external candidates when filling
vacant employment opportunities is consistent with the
provisions of the City of Wyandotte Personnel Policy Handbook
which states the following:
"It is the policy of the City of Wyandotte to select the most
qualified person available for a position based upon the
knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the job."
Furthermore, no change is being proposed to the remainder of the
exiting policy that states:
"Preference will be given to present employees who have the
necessary skills and ability when filling vacancies. The City
will promote or transfer present employees to desirable job
openings where qualifications and experience are equal before
hiring a new employee to fill such jobs."
By implementing the requirement to advertise externally for
interested applicants, it will ensure that the most qualified
person is being hired by the City.
Sincerely,
Todd A. Drysdale, Director of Financial and Administrative
Services

RE: Tax exemption for new personal property at Ecorse Machinery
at 4261 13th Street
Dear Mayor and Council:
The enclosed resolution sets March 3, 2008, as the public
hearing date to consider approval of Ecorse Machinery's
application (see Enclosure 1) for a tax exemption for new
personal property, in accordance with Public Act 328 of 1998, as
amended.
Ecorse Machinery has purchased the former Horizon building and
is considering relocating their production business from Ecorse.
The existing 70,000 square foot building is predominantly
vacant. According to the City's Act 328 policy received by the
Mayor and Council in 2002 (see Enclosure 2), the applicant is
eligible for an exemption because they are occupying a vacant
building exceeding 25,000 square feet. Further, the applicant
proposes to bring approximately fifty (50) jobs to Wyandotte and
invest approximately $4.5 million into buildings and equipment
at the site.
The undersigned recommends that the Mayor and Council adopt the
following resolution (see Enclosure 3) authorizing the
undersigned and the City Clerk to complete the procedural items
necessary to consider approving the application.
Sincerely,
Todd A. Drysdale, Director of Financial and Administrative
Services

Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:
On January 31, 2008, Smart Office Systems requested via the
attached letter a contractual change request for the furniture
contract for the new Police/Court Building Project. The City of

Smart Office Systems is currently in the process of transferring

to provide the performance bond required to execute the
contract.
Global Industries which is a Smart Office Systems vendor on this

Smart Office Systems in turn will become a sub for Global
Industries and provide all product and services as defined in

the contract.
The undersigned recommends the acceptance of the proposal from
Global Industries
