ANALYSIS
Section 1282.03(f) (1)-(2) sets forth the criteria which must be used to evaluate a Special Land Use
permit request. The criteria and evaluation are as follows.
1. Is the proposed special land use designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a
manner harmonious with the character of adjacent property and the surrounding area?
The proposed site design is consistent with the layout of other properties along Bardaville
Street. Furthermore, churches are typically in use at times that do not conflict with peak
hours for other businesses and activities are usually confined to indoors. The greatest
potential impact on its harmony with the surrounding neighborhood could be the provision
of adequate parking so as to not burden the area with increased on-street parking or excessive
traffic. If approved, the special land use permit should be conditioned upon the seating
capacity being limited to the amount of available on-site parking or parking that can be leased
within 300 feet of the site. The only other issue may be the parking lot behind the building.
Since this area is directly adjacent to a residential use, landscaping will be required to soften
the appearance of the parking lot and to mitigate any negative effects from vehicle lights
shining into windows.
2. Will the proposed special land use change the essential character of the surrounding
area?
SLU-4.2010 Bardaville Street Page 3
The proposed site is within an area that contains a variety of land uses including multiple
family residential, office and commercial. Given the diverse land use pattern that already
exists, a church will not change the essential character of the area. In fact, the church will fit
in nicely with the child care center to the north, the office building to the south and the
multiple family residential uses to the east and west. The church will be quiet, there will be
no heavy traffic from delivery trucks and the activities will generally be confined to evening
and weekends when the offices and child care centers are not open. Thus, it will not add
significantly to the traffic volumes that already exist on Bardaville Street during the weekdays
when most of these uses on this street are in full operation.
3. Will the proposed special land use interfere with the enjoyment of adjacent
property?
The primary concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacent
properties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has an
opportmmityto object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet of the church property. In this
case, there are several commercially zoned properties within 500 feet of the subject property.
Since this is a predominately commercial district, the applicant should agree, in writing, that
it will not object to the issuance of liquor licenses in the area.
4. Will the proposed special land use represent an improvement to the use or character
of property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the use
be in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?
Staff believes that the proposed church will not negatively effect the surrounding area which
is characterized by a mix of multiple family residential, office and light commercial uses. The
site is zoned "F" Commercial which allows for retail, office, restaurant, gas station,
automobile repair and automobile sales uses, by right. Churches are generally far less
intensive than most of these uses and will therefore, have a lower impact on the surrounding
residential and offices uses and on the child care center to the north. A retail store, restaurant
or any type of automobile service establishment wouldbe completely out of character with
the adjoining land uses as these uses would be far more noisy and would generate a much
higher volume of traffic than the proposed church.
5. Will the proposed special land use be hazardous to adjacent property or involve uses,
activities, materials or equipment which are detrimental to the health, safety or welfare
of persons or property through the excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, odor,
fumes or glare?
The proposed church will not generate any hazardous conditions.
6. Will the proposed specialland use be adequately served by essential public facilities and
services, or is it demonstrated that the person responsible for the proposed special land
use is able to continually provide adequately for the services and facilities deemed
essential to the special land use under consideration ?
SLU-4.2010 Bardaville Street Page 4
No negative comments have been received from any of the reviewing departments or
agencies. However, the project, including the utility details, will have to be reviewed through
the site plan review process.
7. Will the proposed special land use place demand on public services and facilities in
excess of current capacity?
The proposed special land use is not expected to increase the demand on public services and
facilities in excess of current capacity.
8. Is the proposed special land use consistent with the intent and purpose of this Zoning
Code and the objectives of any currently adopted Comprehensive Plan?
The proposed church is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and
the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan designates the subject
property for office use and the Zoning Ordinance designates the property for commercial use.
Churches are permitted in all zoning districts, provided City Council approves an SLU which
is evaluated based on the nine criteria contained in the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed
church will be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance provided it has sufficient parking for the
200 member congregation.
9. Will the proposed special land use meet the dimensional requirements of the district in
which the property is located?
The proposed site complies with all setback and parking lot layout requirements. The
required number of parking spaces for a church with a seating capacity of 200 is the only
dimensional issue that needs to be addressed. 67 parking spaces are required and 42 are
shown on the site plan. The applicant has 2 options: (1) Obtain a written lease agreement
from a property owner within 300 feet of the site for use of 25 additional parking spaces; or
(2) reduce the seating capacity to 126.
The applicant should be advised that landscaping will be required in the 8 foot buffer strip
along the front and rear property lines. The landscaping must consist of a row of shrubs and
trees at a ratio of 1 tree for each 30 lineal feet of buffer area and 5 shrubs for each 20 lineal
feet of buffer area. The trees must have a minimum starting size of 2 caliper inches. Shrubs

Lansing, MT 489334236
To whom it may concern:
My name is Denise Kelley and I am the president of the Association for the Bingham
Commnnity (ABC). The building at 230 Bingham. Street that Jeremy Dowsett and the Reformed
Church of America (Blacksoil Church) would like to have their church is inside our
neighborhood. The building, or FireHouse as we call it, is a good building that has sat empty for
the last year or so. It has historical significance in the city as the last pre- modern firehouse.
ABC's board has met with Jeremy Dowsett to learn more about his church's plans for the
building. As you can imagine, we were very concerned about the lack of available parking. We
also had to learn more about what this particular church does and what they stand for. Since they
have started this purchase process, a few members of the congregation have and are actively
looking to move into the ABC neighborhood, This is a small boost to our housing stock in this
neighborhood.
It was decided after a good, productive conversation to support this request. We have stated to
Mr. Dowsett that we would like to see a couple things happen that he has agreed to. One: A
written agreement with a parking lot near by so that the street is not overloaded with cars each
Saturday evening when they meet. Blacksoil has entered into an agreement with a larger church
down the block to use their parking lot. Mr. Dowsett and his leaders have agreed to very strongly
encourage their congregation to park in that lot. Two: He and his church needs to maintain the
open line of communication that we have started at this meeting. (I have attended a meeting of
his church's leaders to introduce myself to them.) So far this has been going well.
In conclusion, the Association for the Bingham Community board supports this planning request
for Jeremy Dowsett and the Reformed Church of America (Blacksoil Church). We look forward
to welcoming Blacksoil into the neighborhood and having a good relationship with them.

To: Members of the City of Lansing Planning Board
I am writing in support of the Special Use Permit requested by Black Soil Church for use of
former Firehouse #4 at 200 Bingham Street as a church. During its May 24 th meeting, the Allen
Neighborhood Center Board of Directors had an extensive conversation about issues of concern
(parking) and possibilities (increase number of young Black Soil families moving into immediate
neighborhood, improvement of an historic firehouse, etc.). The Board then unanimously voted
to endorse the project,
We are particularly impressed by the active involvement of Black Soil members in community
improvement initiatives. Over the last several years, Black Soil members have:
• started a neighborhood organization, called Regent Oaks (the most active resident-driven
organization between E. Kalamazoo and 496), demonstrating an awareness of the importance
of bringing neighbors together to work on housing, safety, and beautification;
® hosted park clean-ups in Hunter Park and Regent Park;
• provided assistance to neighborhood seniors;
• volunteered extensively with Allen Neighborhood Center projects, including the Allen St.
Farmers Market, the Hunter Park GardenHouse, and the ANC Housing Caucus.
The Church has a social mission that centers on community improvement and revitalization, and
the impact of their activities in this area of the Eastside have been exceptionally positive. We
believe that the entire neighborhood will benefit from Black Soil's presence in old Firehouse #4,
with the most immediate area receiving the greatest benefit.
If you have questions or concerns or require additional information, please don't hesitate to
email me at joann(_a,allenneighborhoodcenter.org or call me at 517-999-3912 (direct dial).
Sincerely,
Joan Nelson, Director

SLU-5-2010 230 Bingham Street Page 2
Background Information
The building at 230 Bingham Street is 2 stories in height, contains 4,613 square feet and was
constructed in 1904. Once the fire department vacated the building, it was used as a single family
residence. In 1984 a special land use permit was approved to permit the use of the ground floor for
a health and fitness studio and the upper floor for 2 residential apartments. Also in 1984, the Board
of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to the parking requirements for theses uses.
In 1995, a special land use permit was approved to allow a child care center in the building and a
variance was approved to the parking requirement for this use. The child care center operated at this
location until approximately 2008. Since that time, the building has remained vacant except for the2
residential units on the second floor which are currently occupied.
Section 1250.04(b) of the Zoning Code states that churches in the "C" Residential district must be
located on a collector, principal or minor arterial and must be located on a lot that is at least 2 acres
in size. In addition, Section 1284.13(b)(1) requires one parking space for each 3 seats in the church
sanctuary. Based on the proposed seating capacity, 25 parking spaces will be required. The property
at 230 Bingham St. is located on a local road, is .18 acres in size and has no on-site parking spaces
that will be available for the church. The Zoning Board of Appeals, at it's May 13, 2010 meeting,
approved variances to these requirements.

ANALYSIS,
Section 1282.03(f)(1)-(2) sets forth the criteria which must be used to evaluate a Special Land Use
permit request. The criteria and evaluation are as follows.
Is the proposed1.special land use designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a

manner harmonious with the character of adjacent property and the surrounding area?
The church will have a very small membership and will focus its outreach efforts on the
surrounding neighborhood. This will help to keep vehicular traffic to a minimum as the
majority of the membership will hopefully walk, rather than drive to the church. With respect
to parking, the concern is that traffic associated with the church will infringe on the rights of
neighborhood residents by monopolizing on-street parking in the area. There are
approximately 19 on street parking spaces directly adjacent to the subject. The applicant is
seeking a joint parking agreement with Bingham Elementary School and/or the Pilgrim
Congregational Church, both of which are located one block north of the subject property.
Such an agreement will help to minimize any negative impacts on the neighborhood with
regard to overuse of on-street parking.
The use will be harmonious with the surrounding residential area, as long as the focus of the
church is on the immediate neighborhood rather than reaching out to a larger geographic area
of the city. Small neighborhood churches can be a very valuable part of healthy urban
environment. This church, in particular, has a history of being a very stabilizing force in the
Eastside neighborhoods of Lansing. As long as the traffic associated with the church is kept
to an absolute minimum, the effects of the proposed church in this area should be positive.
Will the proposed

2. special land use change the essential character of the surrounding
area?
The site contains a fire station building and therefore, by its very nature, it is difficult to find
an appropriate use of the building, especially since it contains 4,613 square feet of floor area.
Based on the residential zoning and relatively small lot size, the only use that is permitted by
right at this location is a duplex The building currently has two residential imp its on the
second floor. The first floor, however, is vacant. Given the design and size of the building
at 230 Bingham, a duplex does not seem like a viable use of the entire building. Therefore,
some type of nonresidential or quasi-residential use needs to be considered for the first floor.
The previous use of the building for a child care center proved to be a compatible use in this
residential neighborhood. The child care center, drew its primary customer base from the
surrounding neighborhood and therefore, did not generate a burdensome amount of traffic
in the area. Likewise, the current proposal is for a "neighborhood church", which will also
be intended to draw is parishioners from the surrounding neighborhood.
SLID-5.2010 230 Bingham Street Paqe4
Will the proposed

3. special land use interfere with the enjoyment of adjacent
property?
The primary concern with churches in terms of interfering with the enjoyment of adjacent
properties is the potential conflicts with liquor licenses. By state law, a church has an
opportunity to object to all new liquor licenses within 500 feet of the church property. In this
case, there are no commercially zoned properties within 500 feet of the subject property.
4. Will the proposed special land use represent an improvement to the use or character
of property under consideration and the surrounding area in general, and will the use
be in keeping with the natural environment of the lot?
The subject property contains an existing building that was constructed for non-residential
purposes. The purpose of the special land use permit and the variances that have already been
approved is to accommodate a use for the building that will not be detrimental to the
surrounding area. The alternative is to allow the first floor of the building to remain vacant,
which will detract rather than enhance the neighborhood in which it is located.
With regard to the natural environment of the lot, no changes are proposed for the site. There
are two small paved areas on the site, each of which can accommodate 2 parking spaces.
These parking spaces are for use by the residents of the two upper floor apartments. The
.majority of the site is an unimproved area that was used as an outdoor play area for the child
care center that previously occupied the building. While the applicant could pave some of this
area to provide additional on-site parking, doing so would not only be detrimental to the
physical environment, but could also have a negative impact on the privacy and enjoyment of
adjoining properties.
5. Will the proposed special land use be hazardous to adjacent property or involve uses,
activities, materials or equipment which are detrimental to the health, safety or welfare
of persons or property through the excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, odor,
fumes or glare?
As long as the traffic and on-street parking is kept to a minimum, no nuisances will be
generated by granting the proposed variances.
6. Will the proposed specialland use b e adequately served by essentialpublic facilities and
services, or is it demonstrated that the person responsible for the proposed specialland
use is able to continually provide adequately for the services and facilities deemed
essential to the special land use under consideration ?
The subject property is currently served by all necessary public services and utilities. No
negative coaanents have been received from any of the reviewing departments or agencies.
Inspections may be necessary to determine if the . structure complies with current building
code and fire code requirements for an assembly use.
Will
7. the proposed special land use place demand on public services and facilities in
excess of current capacity?
The proposed special land use is not expected to increase the demand on public services and
facilities in excess of current capacity.
Is the proposed8.special land use consistent with the intent and purpose of this Zoning
Code and the objectives of any currently adopted Comprehensive Plan?
The proposed church is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and
the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance
both designate the subject property for residential use. Churches are permitted in residential
districts, subject to obtaining a special land use permit, because they are considered
compatible uses in residential neighborhoods. The reason that churches are considered
compatible with residential uses is that they are quiet, the majority of the traffic is on
weekends and there is no heavy truck traffic associated with their use. In this case in
particular, the church will concentrate its efforts on strengthening the surrounding
neighborhood. Blacks oil church has been very active in the community, even though it has
not had a permanent home in the City of Lansing. It has partnered with the Allen
Neighborhood Center on. several clean-up projects, home improvement projects, activities in
the parks, etc., on the east side of Lansing. The church will continue to be an active and
stabilizing force in this area.
Will the proposed

9. special land use meet the dimensional requirements of the district in
which the property is located?
There are no physical changes proposed for the exterior of the building or the site at 230
Bingham Street. Section 1284.13(b) (1) of the Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space for
each 3 seats in the main sanctuary. Since the applicant would like to have seating for 75
people in the sanctuary, 25 parking spaces are required. Section 1250.04(b) of the Zoning
Ordinance states that churches in the "C" Residential district must be located on a collector,
principal or minor arterial and must be located on a lot that is at least 2 acres in size. The
property at 230 Bingham Street is located on a local road and is .18 acres in size. The Zoning
Board of Appeals, at it's May 13, 2010 meeting, approved variances to all of these
requirements.
SUMMARY
This is a request by Reformed Church of America, Classis South Grand Rapids, Black Soil Church,
to utilize the building at 230 Bingham Street for a church. The subject property is zoned "C"
Residential, which district permits churches, if a Special Land Use permit is approved by the Lansing
City Council.
Based on the findings contained in this staff report, the proposal complies with all of the criteria of
Section 1282.03(f)(1)-(9) of the Zoning Code for evaluating Special Land Use permits.
1. The proposed Special Land Use will be harmonious with the character of adjacent properties
and surrounding uses.
2. The proposed Special Land Use will not change the essential character of the surrounding
properties.
3. The proposed Special Land Use will not interfere with the general enjoyment of adjacent
properties.
4. The proposed Special Land Use does represent an improvement to the lot as it currently
exists.

6. The proposed Special Land Use can be adequately served by public services and utilities.
7. The proposed Special Land Use will not place any demand on public services and facilities
in excess of current capacities.
8. The proposed Special Land Use is consistent with the specific designations of the Zoning
Code and the Northeast Area Comprehensive Plans.
9. The proposed Special Land Usewill comply with the dimensional requirements of the Zoning

Hi Jeremy,
There should be an official notification coming from the Facilities team, but at last
night's council meeting we approved Blacksoil's use of Pilgrim's parking lot for
Saturday night services. They wanted to offer a six-month agreement, with the idea
that both parties could revisit at the end of that and make any necessary changes.
A few other things they were asking about:
They want to make sure they have a single contact for any issues that might.arise.
Would that be you?
The facilities team leader was concerned about "drift," and worried that it would
eventually turn into an overnight parking situation. So they were wondering about
ideas to keep that from happening - maybe a parking sticker they'd give to the
Blacksoil folk, or something like that.
Since I've been here (three years), we haven't had anything at Pilgrim on a Saturday
night, but they wanted to reserve the right to have the parking lot back if needed for
a special event.
All in all, I thought it was pretty good news. Hopefully that helps at the hearing
that's coming up. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do I'm excited
about you guys getting your own place, and excited about the possibility of having
you become a stronger presence in the neighborhood. Thanks for all you do.

Dear City Council Members,
My name is Denise Kelley and I am the president of the Association for the Bingham Community (ABC). I
am so sorry that I am unable to attend Monday night's public hearing for the Blacksoil Church. I am
preparing for our National Night Out event on Tuesday evening and I have another meeting also. Please
accept my apologies.
I am attaching a letter in support of this church's request. I would appreciate it if this letter could be read
into the record on behalf of the ABC Neighborhood's Board.
If you have any questions/concerns you would like me to address please feel free to contact me at 484-
9109 or abcneighborhood,sbcglobal.net
Once again, I am sorry I can not be there in person.
Sincerely
Denise Kelley
President of ABC

Dear Council Members,
My name is Denise Kelley and I am the president of the Association for the Bingham
Community (ABC). The building at 230 Bingham Street that Jeremy Dowsett and the Reformed
Church of America (Blacksoil Church) would like to have their church is inside our
neighborhood. The building, or FireHouse as we call it, is a good building that has sat empty for
the last year or so. It has historical significance in the city as the last pre- modem firehouse.
ABC's board has met with Jeremy Dowsett to learn more about his church's plans for the
building. As you can imagine, we were very concerned about the lack of available parking. We
also had to learn more about what this particular church does and what they stand for. Since they
have started this purchase process, a few members of the congregation have and are actively
looking to move into the ABC neighborhood, This is a small boost to our housing stock in this
neighborhood.
It was decided after a good and productive conversation to support this church in this purchase.
We have stated to Mr. Dowsett that we would like to see a couple things happen that he has
agreed to. One: A written agreement with a parking lot near by so that the street is not
overloaded with cars each Saturday evening when they meet. Blacksoil has entered into an
agreement with a larger church down the block to use their parking lot. Mr. Dowsett and his
leaders have agreed to very strongly encourage their congregation to park in that lot. Two: He
and his church needs to maintain the open line of communication that we have started at this
meeting. I have attended a meeting of his church's leaders to introduce myself and the
neighborhood to them. Since those meetings in the spring, Mr. Dowsett and I have touched base
on this and other projects in the neighborhood. So far this has been going well.
In conclusion, the Association for the Bingham Community board supports this request for
Jeremy Dowsett and the Reformed Church of America (Blacksoil Church) to move their church
and congregation into the building at 230 Bingham Street. We look forward to welcoming
Blacksoil into the neighborhood and having a good relationship with them. If there are any
questions or concerns you would like me to answer, please feel free to contact me at 517-484-
9109 or abcneighborhood@sbcglobal.net
Sincerely,
Denise Kelley
President of ABC

Community Update
MSU
General Manager J. Peter Lark stated this Michigan State University update
included information on the Brody Complex, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams
(FRIB), Plug-in Hybrids and Biomass. .
General Manager Lark spoke about the excellent working relationship between
the Board of Water & Light and MSU.
George Stojic, Director of Development and Strategic Planning, stated that one
of the things that General Manager Lark wanted him to do was to string new
bridges with MSU. Mr. Lark has a lot of regional initiatives and the Board of
Water & Light serves as a catalyst for regional initiatives and regional
development.
BRODY POWER-Mr. Stojic spoke about the request received from MSU two
years ago for the Board of Water & Light to do a full power supply to Brody Hall.
He stated that the Board has submitted two very competitive proposals and is still
waiting on a response to the proposals.

submit a proposal for power supply to the FRIB. He stated that there was a
package put together for the FRIB and that there are many advantages to the
Board of Water & Light receiving this bid, especially since the Board of Water &

Light is the only Michigan energy utility that is fully integrated in the sense that
we have generation, transmission and distribution.
HYBRID PLUG-IN- Mr. Stojic spoke stating that the Board of Water & Light has
discussed with MSU the Plug-in Hybrid program and has received some very
positive responses. There has been some dialogue regarding a Car Sharing
program. MSU is working on bio-fuels and the BWL is working with MSU on a
potential program using electric charging stations and electric hybrids.
BIOMASS- Mr. Stbjic said MSU believes that Biomass is a good option for MSU
because of where they are located and they have a couple of small pulverized
coal-fired units and they like to explore using those units to increase their
renewable energy. The Board of Water & Light has been in communication with
them about developing some biomass sources, specifically the Torrofied wood
for biomass.
e East Lansing Meridian Sewer Water Authority (ELMSWA)
Mr. Stojic spoke about the BWL's wholesale and retail water customers. He said
the retail customers include Delhi Township, parts of Lansing Township, DeWitt,
and Bath. The two large wholesale customers include East.Lansing and Delta
Township. The BWL is rapidly completing the new contract with East Lansing
and Meridian Township and anticipates having those contracts ready in the next
month.
• Electric Car
Mr. Stojic stated that the BWL has been working with people in the community on
the Electric Car program and is in the process of receiving formal letters of
support, which are needed for the Department of Energy grants. The BWL
expects to submit the application shortly so that we can move forward with the
process.
e Restrictive Covenant at North Lansing Landfill
Mr. Stojic informed the Board that in the early 1990's the BWL entered into a
consent decree with the Department of Environmental Quality, which resulted in
the slurry wall being built.at the North Lansing Landfill. Since the slurry wall has
been installed, the decree has been renegotiated and the restrictive covenant
covers just the area outside the slurry wall as well as a couple of monitoring wells
and that has allowed the BWL to free up some area which is now available to the
Drain Commissioner to develop a drain along the eastside of the slurry wall.
Senior Citizens Late Fees
General Manager Lark reviewed programs and incentives that are already in
place at the BWL to assist seniors as well as others who need assistance with
their utility bill.
Regular Board Mtg.

year in late fees from Senior Citizens. The average Senior Citizen on the senior
rate receives a 25% discount off the regular rate and they also have shut off
protection as well as a levelized plan available to them. He added to waive the
late fee would require a rate hearing.
Commissioner Tracy Thomas stated that this was a very nice gesture on the part
of Commissioner Frank Lain.
After a discussion, Chair Zerkle asked Susan Devon, Assistant General Manager
and Chief Financial Officer, to create a report containing information on how
much work it would entail to change the billing date system and asked that that
report be included in the packet for the next Committee of the Whole meeting. In
response, Ms. Devon stated that she would be happy to prepare a report.

Tony DeLuca to table the Senior Citizens Late Fee subject until the next
Committee of the Whole meeting.

Power Pool/Risk Management Program
General Manager J. Peter Lark stated over the past few years that he and his
Administration have mentioned the Power Pool. The Power Pool is an agreement
that the Board of Water & Light and many other Municipal utilities entered into
about 17 years ago. The original purpose was to ensure that municipal utilities
would have the opportunity to obtain the power they needed and that that power
could be facilitated by sales of Board of Water & Light's excess power. There are
a couple of other members of the pool who have generation as well, but none as
much as we do at the Board of Water & Light. The idea was to figure out a way
that we could all share in the Board of Water & Light and any generators who
have excess power in helping out the other municipal utilities that have
reasonably 'priced power to provide to their consumers. Back then there was no
wholesale market. Ultimately the Midwest Independent System Operator (MISO)
was created which is the place at which utilities can now buy and sell power.
The pool was created because there was no MISO.
General Manager Lark said when we were selling power through the Pool we
had a Risk Management Policy in place, which was put in place by the group that
operated the Pool, the Mid-Michigan Public Power Association (MPPA). All of
the Risk Management was provided by the MPPA. Once the Pool ends in 2010
we, as well as all of the other municipalities in the pool are going to need a Risk
Management policy in place.
The proposed resolution directs that we have a risk management policy at the
Board of Water & Light and that the General Manager direct this policy and come
up with a program that complies with that policy.

Resolution
Adoption of Energy Risk Management Policy
WHERAS, Consistent with the Lansing Board of Water & Light's (BWL) decision
on January 25, 2005 to withdraw from the Michigan Public Power Agency's
(MPPA) Power Pool Project will be effective on January 1, 2011;
WHERAS, currently and consistent with the MPPA Power Pool Agreement, the
BWL operates its energy portfolio under MPPA's Risk Management Policy;
WHEREAS, because of the MPPA's relationship termination, the BWL needs to

design and implement its own Risk Management policy and program to address
specific governance and internal controls;
RESOLVED, the Board of Commissioners hereby adopts the Energy Risk

Management Policy as recommended by the General Manager:
The Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) shall develop a Risk Management Program that
includes guidelines that shall govern BWL 's energy portfolio and risk management activities as well
as provide a framework to maintain proper controls for BWL executive 'management and staff to
identify, capture, measure, monitor and report identified risk. The program will be designed for the
specific requirements, constraints and risk tolerance of the BWL. The results of the program will be
continually evaluated in relationship to its objectives to ensure effective performance over time.
The BWL Energy Risk Management Program will coordinate with, but be subordinate to, the
existing Michigan Public Power Agency (MPPA) Risk Management Policy until the BWL's
participation in the MPPA Power Pool Project terminates on January 1, 2011.
On motion by Commissioner Bossenbery, seconded by Commissioner Lain, to
move the proposed resolution for the Adoption of Energy Risk Management
Policy to the full board for consideration and approval.

FY 2011 INTERNAL AUDIT PLANNING
The overall risk management process at BWL was discussed, including the roles
of Internal Audit, the Internal Control Department, and management in risk
identification and assessment. Susan Devon, Assistant General Manager and
Chief Financial Officer reported that the Internal Control Department had
performed four risk assessment scoping reviews relating to financial statement
accounts, but there are seven that remain, along with internal control evaluations
of various operating departments. After some discussion, there was general
agreement that from an organizational risk mitigation standpoint, the best use of
the Internal Audit Department in FY2011 is to work with the Internal Controls
Department and Management to complete the remaining financial risk reviews as
expediently as possible. The Internal Auditor was directed to proceed with his
FY2011 planning process with this directive. The risk reviews will be performed
in a way that will minimize the impact to the auditors' objectivity and
independence in performing future audits of the affected activities. During the
discussion, it was understood that any audit subjects identified or agreed upon by
the commissioners during FY2011 as too important to defer to FY2012 will take
precedence over the risk assessment review work. The completed risk reviews
provide documented key risks and controls for BWL that will make the audit
process more efficient and effective in the future.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:40 p.m.

Lansing City Council

124 West Michigan Avenue
Lansing, MI 48933
Dear Lansing City Council Members,
I am a Lansing city resident and wanted to share some concerns I have with the taking of
the No Parking signs down and/or letting people park at these signs for extended periods
of time.
The gentleman across the street from me at 719 N. Verlinden (2 "d house on the left
behind the Irish Pub) rents rooms at his residence. He along with his tenants always park
on the street all day long while I am at work (as I noticed this on a recent day off that I
took). And if the recommendation is to let the patrons of the Irish Pub park on the street I
live in any time they want (and they do regardless of the No Parking signs) you are just
making my neighborhood more noisy, they litter on my lawn, some have broken glass
bottles and left them on my property and some even urinate on my lawn. Why am I
paying taxes to the City of Lansing who is letting my neighborhood go to heck? Bet you
didn't know there are drug deals going on in the Irish Pub parking lot every weekend
night they are open. 'Rarely is the presence of the Lansing Police in my neighborhood
with the exception of one St. Patrick's Day when my little cul de sac street is filled with
cars and I saw that each car had a ticket on it and it should the No Parking signs are up
there for a reason. Why should those of us in the neighborhood be punished because of
the Irish Pub and their inconsiderate clientele?
And speaking of the police where were they on July 4 tl' when the same neighbor at 719
N. Verlinden and his undesirable tenants were shooting off fireworks until 1:45 AM? I
am sending a letter to the Lansing Police as well so they know of this as well.
I ask that you truly reconsider NOT taking these signs down.

My grandson is married with ,two chili A1d odDra^^;^ Lawn :
business and another in Lansing. ^'/1`
He is no longer able to work due to a back injuen hit head on
by an out of control driver on icy roads in northern Michigan.
A few weeks ago his employee wasticketed_by Officer Wilcox for
having a tailight burned out on his commercial trailer a block away
from the drivers home. The fine was $250.00
On the evening of August 2ND-he was .ticketed again for having a
running light burned out again a block away from home by Officer Wilcox.
The trailer tail lights,brake lights and turn signals all working.The
code enforcement officer hired strictly to make revenue for the city
is driving business from the city. Another $250.00
It might be of interest to you readers that this Officer has
no problems going to court on Not Guilty pleas as he gets time and a
half for overtime.
Lansing citizens deserve better and Virg Benero should be ashamed
to condone this.
