NEW BUSINESS:
1. REQUEST TO APPROVE PAYMENT AND EXTEND CONTRACT WITH BS&A
SOFTWARE: Office of the Treasurer, re: in an amount not to exceed $25,000
per year to provide yearly service and support for the Equalizer Internet
Tax/Assessing System for the period November 1, 2016 through October 31,
2019. (CR 387-13)
Lynda Scheel, City Treasurer, presented the request to Council. She is
requesting approval of payment to BS&A Software, 14965 Abbey Lane, Bath, Ml,
for yearly service and support fee for 11/1/16 thru 10/31/19 with their contract for
their Equalizer Internet Tax/Assessment System in an amount not to exceed
$25,000.00 per year. BS&A is the sole provider for this service and has been
doing an excellent job working with staff and providing support services. The
internet system provided enables them to have information available that is
utilized by mortgage companies, title companies, realtors, contractors,
prospective buyers and residents on their website in an efficient and timely
2
manner with daily updates reflecting changes and/or payments made by or on
behalf of residents. Sufficient funds have been budgeted.
Meakin asked why it was being increased. Scheel explained this is for the next
three years and it is to allow for any legislative changes that may affect the rates.
She said last year’s invoice was for $19,454.00 which increased from previous
years. Three years ago it was approximately $18,000.00. Meakin asked why the
need to go up to $25,000.00 instead of keeping it capped at $23,000,00. Scheel
said just a safety net to keep from having to come back before Council in the
next three years if there are increases that exceed the $23,000,00 annually.
Meakin asked if there was any discount for a three-year contract. Scheel said no
it is an annual invoice that is received but this request is for the next three years
to keep from having to come back before Council each year. Meakin asked if this
had been done previously. Scheel replied yes.
Meakin offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda.
DIRECTION: APPROVING CONSENT
2. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE TWO (2) 2017 FORD
TRANSIT 250 VANS USING STATE OF MICHIGAN BID PROCESS: Public
Service Division, re: for the Water and Sewer Section, from budgeted funds.
Tom Wilson, Water & Sewer Supervisor, presented the request to Council. The
2015-2016 approved capital outlay budget includes the purchase of Two (2) 2017
Ford Transit 250 Med. Roof Cargo Vans for the Water & Sewer Section of the
Department of Public Works. Arrangements were made to incorporate the new
vehicles purchase through the State bid process (Contract No. 071 81300009),
an extended purchasing program made available to local governments through
the State of Michigan. The State bid this year was awarded to Signature Ford.
The cost per van is $28,568.00. The total for both will be $57,136.00.
Wilson said they previously came before Council earlier this year for a purchase
of 2 vans that are utilized for work related to commercial properties in the City.
This request is to purchase 2 vans for the meter section that is responsible for
residential properties in the City and is utilized daily.
The recommendation from the Fleet Manager as well as the backup
documentation has been provided to Council for its review. Funds for this
purchase have been included in the capital outlay budget for the Water & Sewer
Section. The vans will not increase our fleet; they are replacement vehicles. The
replaced vehicles will be disposed of thru the auction process. It is the
recommendation of the Public Service Division that Council authorize the
purchase from Signature Ford, for a total of $57,136.00, with up-fitting performed
by Cannon Truck Equipment, for a total of $35,792.00; a grand total of
$92,928.00.

5. REQUEST TO APPROVE 2017 ROAD REPAIR PROGRAM: Engineering
Division, re: as reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Committee on roads for the fifth
year of the ten-year road paving millage approved by Livonia residents.
Todd Zilincik, City Engineer, presented the request to Council. Included in this
report is the suggested 2017 Road Repair Program as prepared by the
Department of Public Works and reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Committee
on Roads. For 2017, this will be the fifth year of the ten-year road paving renewal
millage approved by Livonia residents for pavement repairs on the entire road
system in 2012.
2017 Road Repair Program Development
The Department of Public Works, using the PASER system, established a rating
for each road segment throughout the City to use in the evaluation of the current
road condition. The PASER Ratings were performed by City staff using
ROADSOFT Software this summer by driving 371.61 miles of roads and were
completed in early August. See attached pie chart depicting the breakdown by
streets by type: 58.7% or 218.13 miles of concrete; 39.5% or 146.8 miles of
asphalt, and 1.8% or 6.68 miles of composite. The PASER Rating information
was updated on the City Website in early September for the public to review and
reference. The PASER Ratings were last completed in 2014. The PASER
Ratings are to be completed every 2 years and are scheduled again for 2018. By
performing this task in-house, City staff gain first-hand knowledge on the
condition of our streets. The average PASER Rating for our network is 6.30 or in
"Good Condition" and there is pie chart depicting the breakdown of the streets by
PASER Rating:
RATING
• 8 to10 Excellent (55.93 Miles)- Blue
• 6 to 7 Good (210.576 Miles)- Yellow
• 4 to 5 Fair (1 01.03 Miles) -Green
• 1 to 3 Poor (4.04 Miles) -Red
The Department assigns the funding available for the year in each of the road
repair categories; reconstruction, rehabilitation, and planned preventative
maintenance. Our staff has analyzed the data and generated a list of streets and
4
scheduled the type of repair along with a cost estimate of those repairs. The list
has been reviewed by the Engineering and Road Maintenance staffs to verify the
road conditions, recommend the repair treatments, and better arrange the work
to efficient contract groupings. The list was then reviewed by the Citizens
Advisory Committee on Roads at two (2) separate meetings, the first meeting
held August 31, 2016, had Committee Members ride the proposed locations on a
bus provided by Community Resources, at the second meeting held on
September 14, 2016, the Committee heard public commentary on the roads. The
Department staff considered these recommendations for the Road Repair
Program and the list is contained herein for the Council's approval.
Recommendations
The list of repair locations including the repair method is shown on Attachment 1.
There are a total of 41 street segments. The estimated cost of street repairs is
approximately $4.9 million shown on the proposed list for 2017. However, we will
maintain a budget of $4,500,000 (anticipate $2.8 million for concrete and $1.7
million for asphalt repairs upon final approval by City Council on the 2017
Budget) to perform the street repairs. The anticipated mix of fixes for our road
network will consist of the following: 45% Reconstruction, 26% Rehabilitation and
29% Maintenance.
The Citizens Advisory Committee on Roads has concurred with the list and
added consideration to consider selective slab replacements at 37035 I 37028
Vargo. Based on available funding, streets to be under consideration for delay
until 2018 are Grennada (End to Parklane) in Section 20 and Wood (Fairlane to
Whitby) in Section 16.
In addition to these programmed locations, the following major road construction
projects are scheduled to begin in 2017.
Street Segment From/To Repair
Old M-14 Plymouth Road* Farmington Road to Telegraph Mill&Fill
Amrhein Eckles to 3,100 ft East of Eckles Reconstruction
Farmington 8 Mile Road to 7 Mile Road Rehabilitation
Inkster 7 Mile Intersection Resurfacing
*Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is responsible for the
administration of Old M-14 (Plymouth Road) Projects.
**Wayne County is responsible for the administration of the Farmington
Road (Eight Mile Road to Seven Mile Road and Inkster at Seven Mile Road
Resurfacing Projects.
5
All of these road projects represent our proposed list for construction in 2017. It is
subject to change based on the consulting engineer's evaluation and final design,
the bid prices received, and the project programming by the Michigan
Department of Transportation. In order to proceed with the 2017 Road Repair
Program, it is recommended that the Council approve the 2017 Road Repair
Program as proposed by the Department of Public Works and shown on the
Proposed 2017 Road Repair Program list provided to Council. He noted there
were some other streets the Citizens Advisory Committee recommended they
look at, i.e. Bennett and Vargo, to add a section there. Also, if they run out of
funding, they talked about 2 streets to reduce and delay until next year, i.e. Wood
from Whitby to Fairlane and also Grennada.
Bahr asked if all the poor roads are included in this program. Zilincik noted those
are some big ticket items that they have been slowly chipping away at; also,
there were some carry overs from last year they have to address first.
Meakin commended Zilincik for all the hard work him and his staff does on the
Road Repair Program. He invited residents to go on the City website and look at
the map. He said this is a good use of tax payer dollars. He said 15 years ago
50% of the local roads were in poor shape. He said it is remarkable on the
improvement in the roads and he appreciates this program. He said many people
have asked if Seven Mile Road is going to be done soon, he asked Zilincik for an
update on that. Zilincik said yes, they are meeting this week on that and it will be
underway soon and hopefully the weather will stay nice for a while so they can
work on those repairs.
Meakin offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda.
Brosnan echoed the compliments of Meakin and commended Zilincik on this
program. She said it is great that this is a tax pay driven program paid by tax
payer funding. It is great that the members of the community have a say in which
roads are in most need of repair. She also recommended residents look on the
website for more information on the program. She said it is very user friendly.

6. SITE PLAN: Planning Commission, re: Petition 2016-08-08-11 submitted by
G.A.V. Associates, in connection with a proposal to remodel the exterior of the
commercial strip center located on the north side of Five Mile Road between
8
Golfview Drive and Levan Road (36184, 36200 and 36232 Five Mile Road), in
the Southeast 1/4 of Section 17,
Mark Taormina, Director of Planning and Economic Development, presented the
request to Council. This is a request to remodel the exterior of a commercial
building that is on the north side of Five Mile Road between Golfview and Levan.
This property is a few parcels east of Levan. The building on the property is
about 3,000 square feet in size. The property altogether is 0.25 acre in area with
74 feet of frontage on Five Mile Road by a depth of 150 feet. The zoning of the
property is C-2, General Business. Tenants inside this strip center include a
barbershop, a Little Caesars carry-out restaurant and a video game store. The
building sits roughly 75 feet back from Five Mile Road, with all on-site parking
located in the front yard between the building and the road right-of-way. The
proposal involves a complete remodeling of the building’s storefront elevation as
well as a small portion of the east elevation of the building. The west side of the
building contains zero setback along the lot line and is effectively attached to the
adjacent party store. Thus it is not exposed or visible. The changes would include
removing the existing façade treatments and adding a new parapet wall along the
upper part of the building which faces Five Mile Road. The new vertical wall
elements would contain a couple of height variations. The tallest part is located in
the center of the building and the design incorporates some offsets that would
add relief along the elevation. The primary exterior building material on the upper
part is E.I.F.S. or dryvit. There would be a decorative smooth metal cornice on
the highest part of the building running along the roofline. Flanking that on either
side would be the same type of cornice treatment but would be constructed out of
E.I.F.S. There are currently metal columns on the building that support an
overhang. Those would all be re-clad with cultured stone. It appears from the
renderings that the same cultured stone material is going to be used on the walls
of the storefront, which is behind the columns. Existing glazing and the glazed
entry doors are going to remain as they are today. The improvements would
continue and wrap slightly around the east elevation, and then the rest of the
east elevation would be repainted to match the color of the remodeled storefront.
There are no other site changes or improvements proposed. However, a number
of site deficiencies were identified. The Planning Commission is recommending
approval with conditions.
Meakin asked Taormina if the poor condition of the approach was being
addressed. Taormina noted that the owner and architect are here to respond to
that question and explain what they are doing to correct the problem temporarily
but he believes it was addressed in the conditions.
Al Valentine, GAV Associates, Architect on the Project, addressed Council. He
said the goal is to bring this building up to date. He said a lot of the requests from
the Planning Commission were site improvements (enclosing the trash
receptacle, curb cut sidewalks, things like that) he noted the owner was present
to address those issues.
9
Meakin asked if they could address the approach issue.
Andre Tartaglia, owner, 7045 Sparling, Shelby Township, Michigan, addressed
Council. He said they are taking bids and will be taking care of it. Meakin asked if
they were going to widen the approach. Tartaglia said they were just looking at
repairing it. He said they weren’t sure if they were allowed to expand or not.
Meakin asked Zilincik if he knew if they could expand the width of the approach.
Zilincik said it is possible. He said it is apparent that trucks drive over the curb at
the approach. Taormina said he would caution that widening the approach may
reduce the number of parking spaces which are limited and fully utilized. Meakin
said there is a noticeable difference in elevation of the sidewalk and he is
concerned for the safety of pedestrians that utilize the sidewalks there. He
suggested placing some cones or something to warn pedestrians. He also
commented on how remarkable it was that two of the tenants, Little Caesars and
the Barber Shop have occupied the same space there for 54 years.
Brosnan said appreciates the owner’s investment in the property and wished
them good luck with the project.
Brosnan offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda.
DIRECTION: APPROVING - ADDING CONDITION CONSENT
DRIVE APPROACH MUST BE
APPROVED BY PLANNING DEPT.
7. SITE PLAN: Planning Commission, re: Petition 2016-08-08-12 submitted by C &
M Corporation, in connection with a proposal to remodel the exterior of one of
the units at the Brickshire Square Retail Plaza located on the north side of Five
Mile Road between Harrison Avenue and Middlebelt Road (29102 Five Mile
Road) in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 13.
At the direction of the Chair, this item was moved to the next Study Meeting so
the petitioner or a representative of the petitioner may be present to address
Council.
8. REQUEST TO APPROVE EXTENSION OF THE PCS SITE AGREEMENT:
Department of Law, re: with Sprint Spectrum L.P. for a five (5) year period; this
agreement shall be automatically extended for up to three (3) additional and
separate five (5) year terms effective on February 1, 2017.
Don Knapp, City Attorney, presented the request to Council. The City's lease with
Sprint for space on the Livonia Police Department communications tower is set to
expire in January, 2017. Sprint has advised that its current payments for this
tower space exceed market rates, and the City's Finance Department advises
that those rates - with the rent escalator now in place - are high enough to make
10
renewal of this lease highly desirable. For internal corporate reasons which are
not entirely clear, Sprint has indicated that it will be possible for the current
arrangement to remain in place as an automatic renewal of the existing lease.
Sprint's proffered interpretation of the lease as automatically continuing does not
reflect the City's understanding at all. But as long as Sprint is willing to pay for
tower space at the rates outlined in the schedule provided to Council, this
disagreement need not be a deal breaker. They are recommending Council
approval and he was ready to answer any questions Council may have.
White asked if they are required to pay personal property taxes. Knapp said he
would have to check and report back to her. White said she would appreciate it
very much if he would do that.
Brosnan offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda.
DIRECTION: APPROVING CONSENT
X1. REQUEST TO APPROVE THE LIVONIA FIRE FIGHTERS UNION (LFFU)
CONTRACT AGREEMENT FOR THE PERIOD OF DECEMBER 1, 2015
THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2018: Civil Service Department, re: same.
Gregg Schultz, Attorney, present tonight on behalf of the Civil Service
Department at the request of Denise Maier, Human Resources Director. Schultz
presented the request to Council. Schultz said he was pleased to advise Council
that on August 23, 2016, City and Livonia Fire Fighter Union ("LFFU")
representatives reached a tentative agreement on a three-year contract that is
effective from December 1, 2015 through November 30, 2018. Since the parties
reached the tentative agreement, LFFU members have ratified the agreement
meaning that all that is needed for formal ratification is Civil Service Commission
and City Council approval.
A copy of the Tentative Agreement has been provided to Council for its review.
The following is a summary of the key components of the Agreement:
1. A three-year agreement from December 1, 2015 to November 30, 2018.
2. Salary increases to all employees on the payroll on the date of ratification as
follows:
Effective December 1, 2015: 3% increase
Effective December 1, 2016: 2% increase
Effective December 1, 2017: 2% increase
3. Modification of the Grievance Procedure to reduce and streamline grievance
and arbitration process.
11
4. Adjustment of promotional training requirements to correspond with updated
training standards and requirements.
5. Replacement of outdated Assistant Chief Promotional Process with a more
updated and thorough process for promotion to position of Deputy Chief.
6. Change from double time to time and one-half for all hours actually worked by
56-hour employees above the Fair Labor Standards Act threshold within the
employee's regular schedule.
7. Revised process for accumulation of vacation time consistent with other City
employees.
8. Clarification that accrued sick leave paid out at termination of employment for
employees who participate in the Retirement Health Savings Plan ("RHSP")
shall be paid into the employee's RHSP account.
9. Increases in Retirement Health Savings Plan payment from $50 per pay
period to $60 per pay period effective December 1, 2015 and $70 per pay
period effective December 1, 2016.
10. Increase in the optical reimbursement from $150 to $200 every two years and
an increase in the annual dental reimbursement from $800 to $850.
11. Increase in the yearly maintenance and cleaning allowance from $550 per
year to $600 per year.
12. Reduction in retirement eligibility from 27 years of service to 25 years of
service without automatic bump to full pension.
13. Increase in cost of living allowance for members in the defined benefit plan
who retire on or after date of ratification to provide an additional $25 per
month from 10 years after retirement to 15 years after retirement.
14. Increase in employee contribution to defined benefit from 3.56% to 4.5%
effective upon ratification.
15. Increase in City contribution to defined contribution plan from 11% to 12% of
employee's wages effective December 1, 2016 and increase in employee
contribution to defined contribution plan from 3.56% to 4.5% effective
December 1, 2016.
As indicated, the above is a summary of the parties' Agreement. If there are any
questions regarding the details of this matter, he said he would be happy to
respond.
12
Brosnan asked Schultz what are the implications of item 12 of the conditions.
Schultz said this was a tough issue. He said the Police Union obtained a
decrease from 27 years to 25 years back in 2001. The Firefighters Union has
been seeking this reduction from 27 years to 25 years for quite some time. He
said it doesn’t have as many implications as one might think. He said it only
applies to handful number of employees. He also said that if they leave
employment after 25 years of service they will only receive 70% of their pension,
they don’t have an increased multiplier to help get them to a full pension rate of
75% like the Police Union contract does.
Brosnan said this does appear to be a fair contract and thanked him and the staff
that worked on the negotiations and ultimately the firefighters that voted on the
ratification of the contract.
Brosnan offered the approving resolution for the Consent Agenda.
Bahr asked Schultz to once again explain item 12 of the conditions. Schultz once
again explain the reduction in years of service to be eligible for retirement and
noted that the multiplier was not increased to 7.8, as was the case with the Police
Union contract back in prior negotiations, to approve the incorporation of a
Defined Contribution Plan vs the Defined Benefit. He noted that using the
multiplier 2.8 with 25 years of service, retirees will receive 70% of their pension
vs. the full pension rate of 75%.
White asked Schultz if the firefighters still have the option to work beyond the 25
years. Schultz replied yes. He said they can get a full pension after 27 years of
service.
