2. Opened the floor for public comments on agenda items.
3. Held a discussion regarding the Personnel Committee’s recommendation of a $300 a month Wellness Stipend for qualified Village of Ortonville employees; such a stipend could potentially help employees to secure health insurance. The Village could not force the employees to use it on health insurance, but the intent of the Council is for employees to have it available for insurance or wellness programs for themselves and their families. Individual employees would seek out insurance and would have this money available to use. An employer group plan was not a Cost-effective option. The total spent on this stipend for all eligible employees would be $14,400.00, which is a fraction of the group plan cost.
4. Established a Wellness Stipend to be available to eligible employees, with a total not to exceed $14,400.00.

Section 6.104 EXEMPTION FROM SITE PLAN REVIEW BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION
A site plan shall not be required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission with respect to proposed construction or improvement of individual detached single-family dwellings units and accompanying accessory buildings, except as otherwise specifically required by this Ordinance. All projects involving single family dwellings will receive an administrative review by the Building Official for ordinance compliance.
Further, a site plan may receive an Administrative Review for certain small scale projects that do not impact neighboring properties, constitute a change of use or require an enlargement of an existing structure or use on the property. The Building Official with the concurrence of the Village Manager may approve certain small scale site plans without submission to the Planning Commission. In those cases, the Building Official shall submit a written report of every site plan submitted. This shall contain a synopsis of the relevant facts in and related to the site plan together with the proposed determination. The report shall be submitted to the Planning Commission at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
The Building Official or the applicant shall have the option to request Planning Commission consideration of site plans eligible for administrative review for the normal Planning Commission fee.

All residential and small scale administrative reviews will require only a Sketch Plan Review with less detailed information and at a level only necessary to verify compliance with the applicable ordinance standards.

PLANNING COMMISSION
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Village of Ortonville Planning Commission will be holding a public hearing on August 4, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. in conjunction with its regularly scheduled meeting.
This hearing will be regarding the proposed editing of Section 6.104 of the Village of Ortonville Zoning Ordinance. This section covers the exemption of single family residential properties from requiring a site plan reviewed by the Planning Commission when doing construction or improvements. The proposed amendment clarifies that every project, including single family residential properties, will receive administrative review by the Village Building Official. The proposed amendment also extends the exemption to other types of properties for certain small scale projects that do not impact neighboring properties, constitute a change of use or require an enlargement of an existing structure or use on the property. In those cases, the Building Official shall submit a written report to the Planning Commission regarding every site plan that was submitted and reviewed administratively. Those doing construction or improvements of a smaller scale (not impacting neighboring properties, constituting a change of use or requiring an enlargement of an existing structure or use), which do not require Planning Commission review, may still choose to seek Planning Commission review.
Any further information regarding the above public hearing may be obtained at the Village of Ortonville Municipal offices at 476 Mill Street, Ortonville, Michigan 48462 during the regular office hours of 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, or by telephone (248) 627-4976.

Dangerous Animals
90.50 Definitions

(c) Any animal owned or kept primarily or in part for the purpose of fighting, or any animal trained or bred for fighting.
(d) Any animal which is urged by its owner or keeper to attack, or whose owner or keeper threatens to cause such animal to attack, any law enforcement officer while such officer is engaged in the performance of official duty and when such animal has the apparent ability to cause injury or harm to such officer.
(e) A dog or other animal that bites or attacks a person, or a dog that bites or attacks and causes serious injury or death to another dog or animal, while the other dog or animal is on the property or under the control of its owner.

90.51 Regulations
(1) No person shall permit a dangerous animal to go outside its kennel, pen or fence unless such animal is held securely by a leash of adequate strength to restrain the animal by designated policing authority.
(2) No person shall permit an animal that has a registered bite/attack record through the Oakland County Animal Control Department to go outside its kennel or pen unless such animal is securely muzzled by a muzzling device sufficient to prevent such animal from biting a person or other animals.
(3) All dangerous animals shall be securely confined indoors, or if outdoors, in a securely enclosed pen, kennel, or fence, which pen, kennel or fence shall be no shorter than six (6) feet in height, when not leashed as above provided.
