COMMUNICATIONS MISCELLANEOUS

Dear Wyandotte City Counsel Members,

It has recently come to my attention that the city’s fire department is utilizing a 2-man ride on their fire engines. As a fire fighter myself for the city of Detroit, I fully understand the importance of having proper manpower on the scene of a fire. A fire will double in size every few minutes and without proper manpower, a successful rescue attempt could nearly be impossible. I am not fully aware of the departments S.O.P's, but I will assume the job of the engine operator is to secure water. That would only leave 1 person available for rescue and suppression. This scenario most likely would happen if other city fire apparatus were on other calls and would require the city's fire officials to request mutual aid, in which it could be several minutes before the extra manpower would arrive.

Being a fire fighter for the city of Detroit, I fully understand that most cities in this area are faced with significant budget restraints. However, I do feel that using a 2- man ride poses serious safety risks to the citizens of Wyandotte and to the fire fighters who may be forced to attempt a rescue by themselves.

I hope that you will look into this situation and do your best to come up with a solution.

Sincerely Yours
Theodore L Copley

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY AND OTHER OFFICIALS

Wyandotte, Michigan 48192

Dear Mayor and Council:

An application was received from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission stating they have received a request for a transfer of ownership of a 2007 Class-C licensed business, from Charles E. Girardot Jr. to MDB Enterprises, LLC located at 116 Oak, Wyandotte, Michigan, County of Wayne.

Said application was referred to the Department of Municipal Service, City Engineer, City Treasurer, Police, Fire and Legal; copies of which are attached.

In view of the above, said application is being forwarded to you for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Date: May 1st, 2008
From: Sgt Pouliot
To: Chief Grant
Subject: Parking 2356 Biddle Avenue

Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers
c/o Chief,

I spoke with Gregorio Celia today at 12:15 PM and discussed the parking issue. He indicates that the students who attend a workshop at the hospital are the root of his parking issues. The students park along his building on Walnut and are there for approximately 2 hours which is the current posted limit.

O.O. Sammons has been watching the parking for him and they have spoke to the hospital to advise the students not to park on Walnut along his business. I made a recommendation to change the signs to 1 hour parking instead of 2. At this time, he wishes to monitor the problem and continue to have O.O. Sammons enforce the 2 hour limit. I advised him that if the situation does not correct itself, to call me and I will change the signing to 1 hour. Mr. Celia was satisfied with our discussion.

Respectfully,

Sgt J. Pouliot

Mayor James DeSana and City Council
City of Wyandotte, Michigan

Dear Mayor DeSana and City Council Members:

The following recommendation is in reply to the Council Resolution of April 28, 2008.

Mr. Roscoe Clark, of Flint, Michigan, has requested use of the Bishop Park Dock on June 7, 2008, for a 50th Anniversary of the construction of the Edmund Fitzgerald. We all know the significance of this vessel in the history of the Great Lakes.

Saturday, June 7, 2008 is also the date of the highly successful Wyandotte Fishing Derby and Kids Expo that is sponsored annually by the Downtown Development Authority and City of Wyandotte. These two events bring hundreds of children and their parents to Bishop Park.

Parking is at an absolute premium on this day. With the advanced age of those who would be attending the Fitzgerald Commemoration, not being able to park in the vicinity and having to walk long distances, we the undersigned recommend denial of this request.

Sincerely yours,

James R. Knopp, Superintendent of Recreation
Melanie McCoy, General Manager, Municipal Services

RE: Installation of Electrical at Theatre Site

Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:

At a special meeting April 28th 2008, the DDA office approved the use of Line Item 499-200-850-519 and adopted a resolution for expenditures of up to $21,500 for the installation of electrical and a sprinkler system to support the events, promotions, and seasonal decorations at the undeveloped theatre site. Tonight the DDA office is seeking City Council action to support the project below. The project was not previously specified in the FY 2008 Budget. Outfitting the lot for electrical came to light upon the loss of the Christmas Tree and was then considered, and funds are available within the line item for the project expenses as follows. Please note, the electrical must be in position at greater than 24 inches before sprinklers can be installed at a depth of 6 inches and the grass kept watered

Wiring costs – 4/0 wire at $4.15 a foot up to 750 feet $ 2,926
Wy. Electrical Supply – Schedule 80 4 inch PVC pipe/materials $ 1,871
Municipal Services has offered to install wiring ---------
Sprinkler System per engineering $ 5,180
(Lowest Quote) from J and R Landscape Maintenance $ 3,200
Power pedestals and materials (5) one Metered $ 3,000
Projected Project Cost $16,117

Work includes materials and labor, sod cutting, trenching, wiring, and sod replacement. A quote for the trenching portion was solicited by Engineering staff from several firms and is being presented to the City Council tonight for acceptance as a separate item. Please consider action to support the DDA approval of this project under the existing budgeted amount for line item Line Item 499-200-850-519.

Very truly yours,
Lisa Hooper, DDA Executive Director

RE: Electrical Service Project Trenching and Sod Replacement

Dear Mayor DeSana and Council Members:

In April, the DDA staff with the assistance of Engineering staff requested quotes for trenching as part of a project to install electrical service at the undeveloped theatre site for events and decorative uses. A tabulation of the proposals received is as follows:

Company Cost Other costs Summary of work described:

J and R Landscape $3,200 Cut sod, prep area to trench, trench 600 feet to a depth of 42 inches , install conduit, backfill, clean up debris and reinstall sod

Alastra Construction $6,000 . 36 /foot2 if Sod cutter, reinstall, bedding new sod pipe with sand, backfilling, needed compaction

Pro Excavation Inc $6,000 Install 4 inch conduit, restore trenches with sod , clean up debris

Harvey's Electric $9,700 Allowance Labor to dig trenches, to for more sod three locations and extending $500 fourth from the third also blowing n string to clear conduit replacing or reusing sod that is disturbed for each trench.

I recommend the acceptance of the proposal from J & R Landscaping Maintenance of Wyandotte, Michigan in the amount of $3,200.00 for the following reasons. It is the lowest best quote received meeting the specifications, based upon past satisfactory performance with the City as expressed to me by engineering staff, and based upon the fact that this quote is well within the anticipated amount for this task as approved by the DDA for this work.. The contractor indicated they can begin quickly as well.
