REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A FEE FOR ISSUING STATE CERTIFIED BIRTH RECORDS: Office of the City Clerk, re: for only those records that utilize the Michigan Centralized Birth Certification System (MiCBCS) with fees equal to those charged the City of Livonia by the State of Michigan (34.00 for the initial copy and $16.00 for additional copies ordered at the same time). Sue Hoff, City Clerk, presented the request to Council. In January 2015, City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement between the City and the State of Michigan for the City Clerk's office to have access to the Michigan Centralized Birth Certification System (MiCBCS). (CR 29-15) Parts of that system have been available to the City Clerk's office staff since March but they only recently have received full access to the system. Full access enables them to print State Certified Birth Records for those whose births occurred in the City of Livonia. The State has supplied them with special paper for this purpose which includes the State seal, at no charge to them. They also have access to the birth record system at no charge to the City. Under this agreement they will only be charged by the State for the birth records that they actually print. The cost to them for a "State Certified" record is $34.00 for the first copy of a record and $16.00 for each additional record printed at the same time. The State will bill them quarterly for those records printed. Hoff, requested that the Council adopt a resolution that authorizes the City Clerk's office to pass those costs on to the citizen requesting the record with no additional charges. They currently charge $15.00 for the first copy and $5.00 for each additional copy of a locally filed record. (CR 21 -04) That would not change, Hoff requested that an additional category or type of certificate be added to what they offer. For clarification a fee schedule below. Local Certified Birth Record $ 15.00 - Initial Cop $ 5.00 -Additional copies State Certified Birth Record $ 34.00 - Initial Copy $ 16.00 -Additional copies 3 It is the general consensus among clerks that Hoff has spoken to that as local and national security requirements are always on the increase, the occurrence of individuals and organizations requiring a State Certified copy will increase. And as people are made aware that the Livonia City Clerk's office offers this service, they will undoubtedly receive more requests. Council consideration in this matter is appreciated. She has spoken with the City of Farmington Hills regarding this. They were part of the pilot program that the State of Michigan used to test the system. They have been issuing this type of birth record for over a year. They also charge only what the State of Michigan is charging them and they issued approximately 80 of this type of certificate over the course of a year. Toy offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda. DIRECTION: APPROVING CONSENT 5.

AWARD OF BID: Division of Police, re: for the renovation of the police building lobby, from budgeted funds. 5 Police Chief Curtis Caid presented his request to Council. The Livonia Division of Police requested sealed bids for the replacement of our computer system network infrastructure, in accordance with the Finance ordinance. Specifications were prepared by the department and placed in the August 9, 2015 edition of the Livonia Observer. Bid invitations were also posted on the Michigan Inter- Governmental Trade Network (MITN). On September 1, 2015, the four (4) bids received were publicly opened with the following results: Cross Renovation, Inc. 34020 7 Mile Road, Suite 102 Livonia, MI 48152 734-286-2244 $252,660.00 Elgin Builders, Inc. 65 Cadillac Square, Suite 2102 Detroit, MI 48226 313-965-0099 $274,840.00 Envision Builders, Inc. 28036 Oakland Oaks Ct. Wixom, MI 48393 248-305-8181 $276,800.00 Advanced Building Group, LLC. 28 West Adams, Suite 200 Detroit, M 148226 313-400-6884 $228,210.00 The police department has been working closely with Redstone Architects to develop plans and all necessary documents for this project to be brought to a successful conclusion. This project entails re-designing the three (3) front desks (Patrol, Central Records and Detective Bureau) that were originally constructed in 1987. The Patrol Desk is delaminating and also has line-of-sight issues that will be corrected. All three desks will have bullet resistant glass installed, along with bullet resistant panels, placed on the front of the desk area, affording their employees a level of protection that was not contemplated when the building was originally constructed. They have also been working with the Inspection Department and will make improvements that will bring the lobby up to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. They also plan on renovating the Patrol Officer-In-Charge (OIC) office and the Report Writing room area. These two areas are used on a 24/7/365 basis. The Report Writing room counter was originally built in 1987 and is in poor condition and in need of replacement. This project was put out to bid as a base project request with several bid alternates for additional work. The base bid is for the re-design of the 6 three desks - adding bullet resistant material, updating the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) for the area, and updating the Patrol OIC office. Bid Alternate 1 is to replace the lobby ceiling tiles. Alternate 2 is to replace the ceiling in several other areas of the desk, which is needed. Alternate 3 is to re-face areas of the lobby to make it match the work that is being accomplished in the base bid. Alternate 4 is to replace the Report Writing room area, where one of the counter supports has failed since this bid went out, requiring either this alternate or other structural repairs. Alternate 5 is to provide counter top replacements for the Patrol and Detective Bureau Desks that were not included in the base bid. After examining all of the base bids and alternates, they have determined to not proceed with Alternate 1 due to costs but to proceed with Alternates 2 through 5. The bid amounts for each of the listed vendors is the base bid plus Alternates 2-5. Please note that Cross Renovations failed to include $36,316 of mandatory material in their base bid; therefore, the included it in their price (listed above) in order to make a one-to-one comparison with the other bidders who did include the material in their base bids. Redstone Architects, as part of their contract, examined all of the bids and schedule of values and made a recommendation that Advanced Building Group, LLC, as low bidder meeting all specifications, be awarded this bid; they are in agreement. They respectfully request that City Council: (1) Award the bid to Advanced Building Group, LLC, in the amount not to exceed $228,210.00, (2) Authorize an additional appropriation and expenditure of $85,000.00 from the Unexpended Fund Balance of the Capital Projects Fund (401). Chief Caid was ready to answer any questions Council may have, he said a representative from Redstone Architects is also available to answer any questions. Toy offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda. Kritzman asked Chief Caid for an explanation regarding the bid that failed to list the mandatory material in the base bid. Chief Caid deferred that question to Tefra Kowalski with Redstone Architects. Tefra Kowalski, 21320 Sunnyview, Clinton Township, responded by stating that one of the items in the bid was a piece of Evans Counsel furniture and said the contractor misunderstood the addendum and failed to include the piece of furniture. Kritzman asked Kowalski if the contractor acknowledged their failure to include this item. She replied yes. DIRECTION: APPROVING CONSENT 7.

Planning Commission, re. Petition 2000-12-02-37 submitted by Shay Estates Condominium Association to revise the approved landscaping plan by removing the requirement to maintain a wooden privacy fence for the cluster housing development, Shay Estates Condominiums, located on the south side of Seven Mile Road between Wayne Road and Levan Road in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 8, which previously received City Council approval on December 20, 2004. (CR 588-04 & CR 215- 01) Mark Taormina, Director of Planning and Economic Development, presented the request to Council. This is a request to revise the landscape plan for Shay Estates Condominiums: a nine-unit single family detached cluster housing development located on the south side of Seven Mile Road between Wayne and Levan Roads. Shay Estates received site plan approval on April 4, 2001. Then, in 9 2004, the developer sought and received approval to amend the landscape plan along the site's perimeter where Shay Estates abuts other single family homes. The original plan showed a combination of berms, roughly two to three feet in height, as well as a variety of trees and shrubs. On the original plan there was no indication of any fencing, but due to concerns over drainage, the developer had to alter the plan to remove some of the berms, primarily along the west side of the project. The revised plan again showed trees on top of berms in the areas where drainage was not an issue, but included notes and a depiction of a wooden board fence running along a significant portion of the site's perimeter. It's unclear exactly what sections of the fence, if any, were pre-existing. According to the developer, Mr. Sam Baki, at no point during the construction of Shay Estates was a fence erected. Nonetheless, the fence does appear on the plan and the Shay Estates Condo Association is requesting that the plan be modified so as to remove any obligation of maintaining the fence. That way as sections of the fence deteriorate or fall down, they can be removed without having to be replaced. The request before you stems from a dispute between the Association and neighboring homeowners who insist that a section of the fence that was damaged and subsequently removed at the direction of the City Enforcement Department should be replaced in order to comply with the approved landscape plan. This matter is currently in 16th District Court and is being held in abeyance to allow the Association an opportunity to amend the landscape plan in order to remove the obligation of reinstalling the fence. Taormina said they did appear before the Planning Commission and the request was partially approved and partially denied; the landscape plan was amended to remove the obligation of reinstalling the fence with the exception of the area abutting the north side of 36270 and 36267 Dardanella. Doug Kath, Treasurer, Shay Estates Condominium Association, 19067 Shay Court, Livonia, addressed the Council. He said the Shay Estates Condominium Association, were always under the impression that this was not their fence. When a section of the fence blew down last spring and it kind of just laid on the ground for a while, they didn't do anything because they were unaware it was their responsibility to fix the fence. Eventually, they did get a violation from the City of Livonia to remove the fence, so they did. They thought that was the end of it until the Inspector came back. The Inspector said that they would have to have a fence there. The Inspector said, it's on the site plan so they would have to reinstall the fence. They asked what their options were. They were told their options were, to try and get the site plan amended, removing the Association's obligation to have a fence there. They estimate to replace the fence, it would cost a couple thousand dollars. They have a very tiny little budget for their condo association. They'd rather not have to do that. They asked for the site plan to be amended so that they are allowed to have a fence but not required to have a fence. It was determined a fence would be required abutting a couple of adjacent properties due to an agreement with the original developer and those property owners. Kath said they would have just repaired the fence had they been properly instructed by the City Inspection Department, however, they were told to 10 remove it and so they did. They feel that the City should pay for the fence and the burden of that cost should not be put on the Shay Homeowners Association. He added that some are retirees and some are disabled persons. Kath shared some photos with the Council. He said he also asked the Inspector that gave him the second violation to appear at the meeting this evening. Nash asked through the Chair to Taormina, if there was any correspondence from the Inspection Department. Taormina noted that the official response to this request from the inspection Department was submitted late, it indicated that they had no objection to the request. He said it should have been included in the packet to Council. President Brosnan asked Taormina to be sure to provide a copy of that correspondence to the Council office. He said he would do so. Mark Mollon, 36270 Dardanella, Livonia, Michigan. He said the fence that is being discussed runs along his eastern property line. He said his concern was mainly the area that runs along their backyard just to the west of the fence and by the street. He expressed how valuable the fence is to them. They think that the City Council had good reasons for the concessions that Mr. Baki made back in 2000 when he came before the Commission and the Council to propose these condominiums, all those same reasons still exist. He said that an arrangement was made when Mr. Baki received his site plan and landscaping plan approval; during that process a Mollon sold a portion of his property that contained an easement with a condition that Baki would be required to and agreed to construct a cedar board-on-board fence with scalloped top running the entire length of the eastern property lines of 36270 Dardanella and 36267 Dardanella; the fence to smoothly join with the existing cedar fence along the north side of 36270 Dardanella. Baki agreed to locate this fence on Shay Estates and that the fence would be maintained by Shay Estates. He said they oppose amending the landscaping plan and said the petitioner has not demonstrated a need for granting their request of an amendment other than monetary reasons. President Brosnan asked Mollon if he had provided a copy of that agreement to the Planning Commission. Mollon said yes he did. Dave Dixon, 36267 Dardanella, said he came before Council 15 years ago when this agreement was made concerning the fence, he stood before the Council and asked if he needed something in writing or if it would become part of the record. He said he was told it would become part of the record. He said the agreement clearly states that Shay Estates is responsible for maintaining the fence. He said Shay Estates has not demonstrated a valid reason for their request to amend the landscaping plan. Sandra Dixon, 36267 Dardanella, said at the Planning Commission they did also point out the fact that there is a retention pond in the area that was fenced. She said there are some special needs children in the area. She said even though there isn't water in it presently, it is designed to retain water. She said she was 11 disturbed to find out that someone had been in their backyard and taken pictures; she said she did not recall giving anyone permission to do so. She has a teen age daughter and the fact some came into her yard and took pictures without their knowledge is disturbing to her. Cathy Kath, 19067 Shay Court, said for the record, she wanted to clarify that they were not in the Dixon's backyard that they were on the property of Shay Estates when they took pictures. She stated that there is a wooden structure in the Dixon's backyard that is leaning on the fence and causing it to bow and pushing it down. Pastor asked through the Chair to Taormina about the fencing shown on the approved plan from 2004. He noted that earlier someone had stated that the fencing went all the way around the property. Taormina said there are sections of the fencing that are chain link and sections that are wood. He said there are sections where there is no fencing. Pastor said he thinks it should be replaced. He said he didn't think 50 feet of fencing would cost $2,000.00. He said the agreement clearly states the responsibility of Shay Estates Homeowners Association. Pastor offered the denying resolution for the Regular Agenda. DIRECTION: DENYING REGULAR 11. SIGN PERMIT APPLICATION: Planning Commission, re: Petition 2015-08-SN- 03 submitted by Trinity Home Health Services for an additional wall sign for the office building located within the College Park commercial and office complex on the east side of Haggerty Road between Six Mile and Seven Mile Roads (17410 College Parkway) in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 7. (CR 312-06) Mark Taormina, Director of Planning and Economic Development, presented this request to Council. He said this is a request for an identification wall sign for Trinity Home Health Services which is located in a single use, two story office building that is within the College Park development on the east side of Haggerty Road between Six and Seven Mile Roads. The subject office building was constructed in 2006 and 2007. There was a condition when it was approved that any signage be separately submitted for review and approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Only conforming signage was allowed with the original site plan. The site is zoned OS, Office Services. They are allowed a single identification wall sign. The building is oriented at a 45 degree angle and there are two main driveway entrances, one on the north side and one on the south side. There is an existing sign located on the northwest corner of the building that reads "Trinity Senior Living Communities" and measures 100 square feet. The proposed second sign would be placed on the same side of the building but at the opposite end, which is the southwest corner. It too measures 100 square feet and reads "Trinity Home Health Services." Together the two signs 12 would total 200 square feet. The length of the building is roughly 240 so the estimated distance between the two signs would be 175 to 185 feet. This request, if approved, would have to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals because it does exceed the ordinance requirements for signage. He said the Planning Commission is recommending approval. Mr. Keith Murray, Trinity Home Health Services, was present. He said this particular sign when it was proposed, and Trinity had looked a couple years ago of doing this, and then he thought once they signed a longer term lease and committed to this property, then they committed to get this sign put on the building. This particular sign on this side of the building deals with home health and hospice care. This building is open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. So they get a lot of families that come in at different hours so it's easily identified. As Council may know when a person approaches that building coming from Haggerty, it's not very visible. There is nothing out on Haggerty Road in the way of signage for this property. So Trinity approached them some months ago to come and take basically the same size sign that's at the other end of the building and put it at where they're proposing currently. It would be illuminated. Murray spoke with their staff. Currently I went over there a couple times this week and I noticed the sign that is existing is not illuminated. Murray thinks it could be on a timer and it might be off, but when he asked them about illumination from their study meeting, they were thinking 8:00 p.m. to midnight, and then it would come back on at 4:00 a.m. to 7:00. Whether that would be a time clock or photocell, but they kind of like the photocell idea so then when the time changes in the summer, then it reflects the sign actually being on less. Toy offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda. DIRECTION: APPROVING CONSENT 12. SIGN PERMIT APPLICATION: Planning Commission, re: Petition 2015-08-SN- 04 submitted by Huron Sign Company, on behalf of the Livonia Family YMCA, for a replacement ground sign with variable electronic message board for the recreational facility located on the west side of Stark Road between Schoolcraft Road and Lyndon Avenue (14255 Stark Road) in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 21. Mark Taormina, Director of Planning and Economic Development, was prepared to present the request; however, the petitioner was not present to answer any questions from the Council. At the direction of the Chair, this Item was moved to the next Study meeting scheduled for October 5, 2015, so the petitioner may appear before Council to address their request. 13 Kritzman said this request is for a variable electronic message board. He said it is a residential area and close in proximity to parks and schools and senior housing. He feels it is important that petitioner be present to answer any questions from Council or the public. DIRECTION: MOVED TO NEXT STUDY MTG CONSENT AUDIENCE COMMUNICATION: None. As there were no further questions or comments, President Brosnan adjourned the Study Session at 9:07 p.m. on Monday, September 21, 2015. DATED: October 2, 2015 SUSAN A. HOFF CITY CLERK
