"In compliance with the resolution adopted at the last regular meeting of
the Council of the City of Livonia, Councilmen Rudolf R. Kleinert, John W. Whitehead
and Wilson W. Edgar attended a meeting in the office of the State Department of Health
on Friday morning, June 3, 1955, to learn the truth of the alleged violation on sewer
construction in the City of Livonia.
"After he called the meeting to order, Mr. Ai. F. Shephard asked who was
responsible for the violation of the sew r construction permit No. 12802.
"When asked the exact nature of the violation, Mr. Shephard stated the
violation concerned the const ruction of unauthorized sewers in Country Homes Sub-
division. He then displayed an engineer's drawing showing five unauthorized ton-
ne ctions.
"We, as Councilmen, stated that this was the first knowledge we had of
any violation and that, so far is we knew, no sewers had been built and that the
violation, if any, was not a willful violation as had bear charged by the State
Department of Health.
"In the discus sion that followed, Mayor Hartom admitted that he had been
told by Herald Hamill on the niit of April 11, 1955 -- almost one month before the
Council of theCity of Livonia took its final action -- that the sewers had been con-
structed. The sewers in auestion were the last lengths of crock in each of five
connections. Later, Mayor Hartom changed his mind and stated that it was not on
the evening of April 11th that he learned of t he alleged violation, but he did
admit that he had Imowledge of the alleged violation within a week of that date.
"When asked why he had not notified the Council or the Sewer Committee
of the action, the Mayor preferred to remain silent. It was pointed out to Mr.
Shephard that even on the evening of May 10, 1955, when the Council took action
permitting the Slatkin Builders to construct homes -- provided the last length
of sewer crock was not installed -- the Mayor was sitting at the Council table
and failed to inform the Council of what had happened.
"Mr. Shephard then asked who was responsible for the alleged violation
and it was pointed out that it was an administrative problem and that , if the City
Engineer at that time, Herald Hamill, had erred in judgment, it was up to the
Mayor to take action. Yet, he never did.
"After a lengthy discussion, it finally was explained by Mr. Shephard
that it would be rather silly to remove the sewer, that it also would be rather
ridiculous to levy a fine against the City, but he insisted on knowing what safe-
guards would be taken in the future.
"As official representatives of the City of Livonia, we informed Mr.
Shephard that we were deeply concerned, personally, and felt that we could speak
in like vein for the other members of the Council. To that end, we suggested
that a resolution be passed by the Council, pledging full cooperation with the
State DepartLent of Health from the Legislative branch of t he government. Mr.
Shephard intimated that such a resolution would be satisfactory.
"So, to clear the records and safeguard the health and welfare of our
citizens in the future, we are prepared to offer such a resolution."
