MINUTES OF THE ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHTH
REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 12, 2019
On August 12, 2019 the above meeting was held at the City Hall, 33000
Civic Center Drive, Livonia, Michigan, and was called to order by President Laura
Toy at 7:00 p.m. Councilmember Brandon Kritzman led the meeting in the
Pledge.
Roll was called with the following result: Brandon Kritzman, Cathy White,
Kathleen McIntyre, Brian Meakin, Jim Jolly, and President Laura Toy. Absent:
Scott Bahr.
Elected and appointed officials present: Mark Taormina, Director of
Planning and Economic; Todd Zilincik, City Engineer; Paul Bernier, City
Attorney; Susan M. Nash, City Clerk; Judy Priebe; Director of Legislative Affairs;
Lynda Scheel, Treasurer; and Mayor Dennis Wright.
On a motion by Jolly, supported by White, and unanimously
adopted, it was:
#266-19 RESOLVED, that the minutes of the 1,877th
Regular Meeting of Council held July 22, 2019 are
approved as presented.
Councilmember Brandon Kritzman presented a commendation to Craig Pastor
for his service on the Zoning Board of Appeals for 15 years.
Pastor thanked the Mayor and City Council for the recognition.
Councilmembers McIntyre and Meakin thanked Pastor for his service.
President Toy thanked Pastor for bringing his expertise to the Zoning Board of
Appeals.
President Toy spoke about the recent death of Bob Hardies, who was an asset
to the community, and donated to many causes, and wrote historical pieces
41046
Regular Meeting Minutes of August 12, 2019
and pamphlets which he donated to schools and the City. She then asked for a
moment of silence in his honor.
President Toy thanked Mayor Wright, Brian Duggan, and everyone involved in
bringing the Moving Vietnam Wall to Livonia and cited some of the sponsors who
contributed to the project.
Mayor Wright came to the podium and spoke about the tremendous turnout of
people who visited the site. He thanked the many volunteers and spoke about
the emotions that viewing the Wall evoked from the many spectators.
Councilmember McIntyre gave a special thank you to former Mayor Jack
Engebretson, who is a proud Air Force Veteran and worked on the committee
that brought this to Livonia.
Councilmember Kritzman stated that the Moving Vietnam Wall was a great
learning opportunity for his five daughters and when you see over 58,000 names
on a memorial wall like that without knowing someone, it’s hard to be personable
about it. One of the things he tried to drive home in sharing this experience with
his daughters, the loss of life was scattered throughout the country, you never
really know where people were from. And there was a subtle thing that probably
went unnoticed by a lot of folks, but there was a small flower basket in one spot
with a handwritten note that said that Arnie went to Franklin High and was from
Livonia. He said he knows there is a memorial at Five and Farmington, and he
recommends people go and check that out, because when you see the names
of people from your own community who lost their lives in those wars, and
specifically this weekend with the Vietnam Memorial, it really changes things.
President Toy stated there is New Data on Item #3.
During Audience Communication, Glenn Moon, 34461 Wood Street, came to the
podium and spoke a prayer.
