By Councilman Taylor, seconded by Councilman Feenstra, it was
# 790-82 WHEREAS, several industries specializing solely in soft goods,
electronics and steel have almost disappeared from this country; and
WHEREAS, the major underlying cause of the destruction of these
industries is unfair foreign competition, wherein many other governments
create full employment for their citizens; and
WHEREAS, the basic steel, steel specialty and steel wire
industries of this country are the latest, but by no means the last, to
feel the deep bite of unfair foreign competition; and
WHEREAS, foreign internal industry practices, fostered by
government action, are especially detrimental to the steel industry,
electronic and soft good industries; and
WHEREAS, as an example, foreign steel-producing countries
consume only some thirty percent domestically, then sell the surplus to
U.S. Markets below cost, their government policies subsidizing the cost
differences thereof; and
WHEREAS, the provisions of the 197+ Trade Act which allow for
the negotiation of an Orderly Marketing Agreement are not adequate to
eliminate the threat to the steel and basic home industries both in the
State of Michigan and the U.S. ; and
WHEREAS, industry in Michigan would be capable of providing
needed supplies except for the sales competition of cheaper foreign
import steel and iron, electronic and soft goods,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council of the City of
Livonia refer the establishment of a policy whereby purchases of goods,
materials and/or supplies for the City require that bids from suppliers
provide proof that material and/or goods are purchased from vendors in the
U.S. or are absolutely unavailable from U.S. vendors, to the Legislative
Committee for its report and recommendation.
A roll call vote was taken on the foregoing resolution with the following result:
AYES: Taylor, Feenstra, Gundersen, Bishop, Bennett, Ventura and McCann.
