Councilman Raymond disqualified himself from voting on the above resolution

*Councilman Ventura made the following statement for the record:
"In the past week, the Wayne County equalization committee recommended
that Livonia's assessment valuation be increased by $125 million. This recommenda-
tion was approved by the Wayne County Board of Supervisors despite the objection of
our representatives on the county b'Crd.
In consulting with our assessing department, I have been told that this
added assessed valuation would result in an increase of $51.47 on a residence having
antassessed valuation of $10,000 based on true cash value of $20,000.
This is an increase of approximately :". on our total tax bill. Council
approval of $7 million in storm drain construction will result in an increase of
1.27 mills on a 30-year bond issue or an increase in excess of 12% of our city tax.
In casting a NO vote on this issue, I raise the question of whether
priority of city needs has been adequately studied; of the need to call a special
meeting to pass on this issue which did not seem of an emergency nature and I question
the motives of the Mayor in requesting, as he states in his letter of January 16,
1967 . . . "recommendations for all storm drains needed to serve the entire City of
Livonia."

excess of 30,000) shall participate and share the cost of construction and
