THE SENATE
STATE OF MICHIGAN
November 1,2012
The Honorable Officers & Members of the Detroit City Council
do Council President Charles Pugh &
Council President Pro-Tempore Gary Brown
1340 Coleman A. Young Municipal Center
Two Woodward Avenue
Detroit, M1 48226
Dear Honorable Councilmembers:
In Response to City Council's Request: The Following is a
Discussion of The Proposed Detroit Lighting Authority &
The Reasons I am Opposed to this Proposal
52%. Fifty two percent! That is the percentage of street the proposed Lighting Authority will reduce in the Oty of
Detroit.
Here's more facts about the proposed Lighting Authority legislation in Michigan House Bills 5688, 5705 and Michigan
Senate Bill 970. 0
1. All the lights in the alleyways will be turned off, making alleys hotspots for assault, rape, murder, and other criminal
activity.
2. Right now, 33,000 street lights are on the Oty of Detroit's Public Lighting Department's (PLD) grid. 55,000 of
the 0 City of Detroit's street lights are currently on the electric grid for a private company. The proposed
legislation transfers all of the street lights to the private electric grid. How does transfer oj the City of Detroit's lights
to a private company's grid change the Current status of the lighting system?
3. The City of Detroit will have to go further into debt in order to establish the authority. AIl of the current City of
Detroit Pill revenue generating customers, (eo'g. Detroit Board of Education. Wayne State University. Detroit
Receiving HospitallDMC. General Services Administr.ation (Federal), Detroit Wayne Joint Building Authority. Detroit
Institute of Arts (DIA). Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and others), will become the customers of
the private company. Due to borrowing more money, the Lighting Authority provides for all the funding for the
upgrades to the City of Detroit owned. street lights, but all of PLD's customer revenues goes to the private company.
The Lighting Authority will pay a private coIilpciny to upgrade, maintain and operate the street lights. SiDiply pU4 the
corporation makes all the revenue and profit from the lighting authority and the taxpayers pay all the debt.
This is aD example of private profit and socialized debt.
4. Now I'm well aware that the counter argument is that 35,000 of the lights in Detroit don't work now. But"where
are those 35,000 located. Ifit is on your block and you want the street lights turned back on then you think, ..
But what if the street lights are barely on in your area now and your neighborhood is not one of the areas where City
services are planned? Guess what, then you lose your lights and all of the lights in your entire community wiD be
out. Your community will become a darkened signal for criminal activity.
These are four (4) reasons for why I am opposed to the Lighting Authority:
1. Taxation without representation.
The City of Detroit's plan only provides designated neighborhoods with street but every taxpayer in the City of
Detroit will pay for the lights. That is service rationalization, picking winners and losers, and taxatiori without representation
in its purest form.. The last time I checked, a revolutionary war was fough.t in this country over taxation without representation!
Government, state, local and federal must represent and serve all of the people not 300/0 or 47% but 100% of the people.

House Committee: Local, Intergovernmental, and Regional Affairs (H.B. 5688 & 5705)

CONTENT

Senate Bill 970 (S-1) would amend the City Income Tax Act to do the following:

-- For a city with a population over 600,000 (Detroit), specify a maximum tax rate of 2.5%
on residential individuals and 1.25% on nonresident individuals (the rates that applied
until July 1, 2012, when the maximum rate on residents was reduced to 2.4% and the
nonresident rate was reduced to 1.2%).
-- Discontinue a requirement that Detroit's maximum tax rate be reduced each July 1 by
0.1 until it is 2.0% on resident individuals; and delete provisions allowing the city to
apply to the State Administrative Board for certification that the rate not be reduced if
specified conditions exist.
-- Require the city each year to deposit the revenue collected from 0.2% of the rate levied
on residents and 0.1% of the rate levied on nonresidents into the budget for the city's
police department, and use it exclusively to retain or hire police officers.
-- Require this transfer and use to continue until all bonds, obligations, or other evidence
of indebtedness issued by a lighting authority (incorporated under the Municipal Lighting
Authority Act) had been fully paid and revenue was no longer being pledged to the
lighting authority from taxes levied under the City Utility Users Tax Act.

House Bill 5688 (H-1) would create the "Municipal Lighting Authority Act" to do the
following:

-- Allow one or more cities, villages, or townships to adopt articles of incorporation by a
majority vote of their governing bodies and incorporate an authority for the purpose of
acquiring, owing, improving, constructing, operating, or maintaining a lighting system
and providing lighting services.
-- Provide that a lighting authority would be a public municipal corporation.
-- Prohibit an authority from paying net proceeds or profits to its constituent local
governments, but permit it to pay them for services provided.
-- Require an authority to be governed by a board consisting of five or eight members
appointed as provided in the Act (described below).
-- Provide that an authority board would be subject to the Open Meetings Act and the
Freedom of Information Act.
-- Require an authority board to implement a best value supply chain and procurement
practice, and report annually to the governing body of each constituent local
government.
-- Require a board, by March 15 after it was created and then every two years, to prepare
a plan for the next three years and submit it to the governing bodies of its constituent
local governments.

Page 2 of 3 Bill Analysis @ www.senate.michigan.gov/sfa sb970etal./1112
-- Require the plan to include a budget, among other items, and require the budget to
provide that any money derived from the collection of rates and charges would be
applied and used in the manner and priority set forth in the Act.
-- Allow the governing bodies of the constituent local governments to vote to accept or
reject the plan, and provide for the plan to be revised and resubmitted if it were
rejected.
-- Allow an authority, after initial service rates were established and contracts for
construction, purchase of power, and related services were executed, to borrow money
and issue revenue bonds and notes for the purpose of constructing, acquiring,
improving, or extending a lighting system.
-- Limit the aggregate principal amount of the bonds and notes at any time to 5% of the
total State equalized valuation of the property assessed in the local governments
comprising the authority.
-- Provide that bonds issued under the Act could not mature more than 30 years from the
date of the original issuance.
-- Require bonds issued under the Act to be sold to the Michigan Finance Authority.
-- Authorize an authority to enter into ancillary facilities (various types of financing or
investment agreements) for specified purposes, as it determined necessary or
appropriate.
-- Allow an authority and any local government to enter into a contract providing for the
construction, acquisition, improvement, or extension of a lighting system; and require a
contract to provide for the rates and charges for each local government.
-- Allow a local government to pledge its full faith and credit for the payment of the
obligation and, if it did so, to include in its annual tax levy an amount sufficient to pay
the portion of the obligation falling due before the following year's tax collection.
-- Provide that the tax could be in addition to any tax that the local government otherwise
could levy and could be imposed without limitation, if the local electors had approved
the contract or an unlimited tax pledge in support of the contract.
-- Allow the contract to provide for other funds to be raised and pledged by each
contracting local government by the following methods: the levy of special assessments;
the levy and collection of charges to users and beneficiaries of the services furnished by
the lighting system; a pledge of revenue that the local government otherwise would
receive under the City Utility Users Tax Act; the receipt of money from the imposition of
taxes by the State, except as prohibited by the State Constitution; and the receipt of
other funds that could be validly used for this purpose.
-- Provide that, if an authority issued bonds to be paid from revenue from a contract, a
local government could pledge revenue it would receive under the City Utility Users Tax
Act to bonds of the authority issued pursuant to the contract, after it first entered into a
trust agreement with the authority, the Michigan Finance Authority, and a trustee.
-- Provide that a local government could not enter into a contract pledging utility users tax
revenue that would result in outstanding bonds secured by the pledged revenue having
an aggregate annual debt service that exceeded $12.5 million in any one year taking
into account any anticipated Federal credits.
-- Provide that the property of an authority and its income and operations would be
exempt from all taxes and special assessments of the State or a political subdivision.
-- Provide that an authority could hold, manage, sell, exchange, or lease its property, but if
the property came from a constituent local government, the authority could not dispose
of it unless the other party to the transaction were the local government.

If an authority had only one local government (other than Detroit) as a member, the
authority board would have to consist of three residents of the local government appointed
by the chief executive officer and two residents appointed by the governing body of the local
government.

If an authority had only one local government as a member, and that local government
were Detroit, the board would have to consist of one member appointed by the Governor,

Page 3 of 3 Bill Analysis @ www.senate.michigan.gov/sfa sb970etal./1112
one member appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Senate Majority
Leader, one member appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Speaker
of the House, and five residents of Detroit appointed by the city's governing body.

If an authority had more than one local government as a member, the board would have to
be appointed as provided in the authority's articles of incorporation.

House Bill 5705 (H-1) would amend the City Utility Users Tax Act (which authorizes Detroit
to levy a tax of up to 5% on the amount paid for certain utility services and requires the
revenue to be used to hire or retain police officers) to do the following:

-- Require the city, if it formed a lighting authority, to pay $12.5 million annually to that
authority from the proceeds of the utility users tax.
-- Provide that, if the lighting authority issued bonds pursuant to a contract with the city
and pledged revenue from the city utility users tax, the revenue would have to be
deposited and used as provided in the Act.

All of the bills are tie-barred to each other.

141.1152 et al. (H.B. 5705)

FISCAL IMPACT

Senate Bill 970 (S-1) would increase local income tax revenue in the City of Detroit and
restrict the distribution of that revenue. The city's income tax rate was identical to that
specified in the bill until July 1, 2012, when the rate was reduced by 0.1 percentage point as
required by the Act. The bill would reinstate the rate that had been in effect before July 1,
and prevent future reductions. The bill also would require a portion of the revenue
generated by the tax to be deposited into the police department budget for the retention or
hiring of police officers, rather than being left in the general fund for appropriation to the
police department or other departments and expenditures.

The bill would have no impact on State revenue or expenditures.

House Bills 5688 (H-1) and 5705 (H-1) would increase both local unit revenue and
expenditures by an unknown amount depending upon the number of communities that
created or joined a lighting authority, the operational decisions of the authorities, and the
terms of any bonds and/or revenue pledges related to the authorities. House Bill 5705 (H-
1) would reduce city utility users tax revenue to the City of Detroit police department
budget by approximately $12.5 million per year and direct it to a lighting authority. House
Bill 5688 (H-1) would limit the aggregate annual debt service on any bonds issued by an
authority to $12.5 million. The debt service limit would apply to all lighting authorities, not
just an authority associated with the City of Detroit.

The bills would have no impact on State revenue or expenditure.

2012 Senate Bill 970: Allow higher Detroit city income
tax (Senate Roll Call 799)

Passed 20 to 18 in the Senate on December 4, 2012, to allow Detroit to
suspend a state-mandated gradual reduction of its city income tax to the
maximum rate allowed for other cities (1 percent for residents and 0.5 percent
for non-residents). This would allow the current the city to keep its current rates
of 2.4 percent and 1.2 percent, repectively, until debt incurred to fix broken
streetlights is repaid (see House Bill 5688). When the mandated tax rate
reduction was first enacted Detroit's income tax took 3 percent from residents
and 1.5 percent from nonresidents who work in the city.
