Motion by Haven, Supported by Avery to Accept the Consent Agenda as Presented. Motion Carried. The South Depot Park Path is in compliance with ADA and Handicapped Standards, however approximately 20 feet nearest Main Street needs a cross slope adjustment to not more than 2 0/0. The other items are to uncover the man hole covers and reinstall a section of the 6 foot fence to the top of the grade, along with adding some fill to adjust the grade of the edges of the path, and signage to designate slope possibilities. A review was done by Gary Tressel in regards to Cory Johnson’s correspondence of 2015 and it had references to building code which are not applicable to the Park Path. Resolved by Haven, Supported by Avery to Approve the Increase in Sewer Rates as of 07 01 2016. The Finance Committee recommend to the City Council a sewer rate increase of 3 percent or ($3.46) per REU per quarter, starting on the July 1, 2016 billing cycle to reflect a Great Lakes Water Authority and the Oakland County Water Resource Commission’s 2016-2017 sewage disposal rate charge increase that took effect July 1, 2016. Resolution is Adopted. Resolved by Catallo, Supported by Sabol to approve the allocation of Smart Credits for 2017 of $874.00.
