Mayor Kirksey said Yvonne will be greatly missed at City Hall. He was pleased that she has chosen to continue residing in Livonia. Mayor Kirksey said the City had experienced an unusual breakdown on the City website. It had a link to the City Housing Commission, along with a link for taking applications to be placed on a waiting list for Section 8 housing vouchers. He said there is a high demand for housing assistance due to the poor economy. This created a large number of hits on the website which temporarily closed it down. Some minor technical adjustments were made and eventually it was straightened out. The maximum number of 1,500 applications were successfully completed and received. Applications are no longer being accepted. The Mayor also mentioned that due to these issues with the website it subsequently caused some problems with e-mail alerts for snow emergencies being sent out incorrectly. He said the City is in the process of evaluating what happened and making sure it doesn’t happen again in the future. AUDIENCE COMMUNICATION: None.
