Delhi Charter Township
Department of Community Development
MEMORANDUM
TO: John B. Elsinga, Township Manager
FROM: Tracy L.C. Miller, Director of Community Development
DATE: Friday, April 01, 2011
RE: Blight Prevention & Neighborhood Protection Program
As we have previously discussed with the Board, Delhi Township currently has $20,780 reserved
in the 2011 Budget for community reinvestment via housing rehabilitation. These funds were
realized from the sale of a home purchased by the Township from HUD under the $1 Home
Sales to Local Governments program. Under this program, Delhi bought the home on
Woodworth Street completed necessary improvements to increase the quality of the home and
comply with applicable building codes and then sold the house for a significant profit. A
requirement of participation in the “$1 Home Sales” program is that any profits must be utilized
for future public reinvestment projects. To fulfill this requirement and to help provide
stabilization of Township neighborhoods I am proposing that we implement the program
outlined below.
Although our ability to make a large impact across the Township will be limited at first, the need
for this type of program is evident. Even thought many economic analysts are beginning to
predict that the worst is now over with regards to the economy, we have seen an unprecedented
number of foreclosures and property abandonments in recent years. The effects of this have been
to flood the housing market with homes selling well below value and that have sustained damage
due to vacancy or misuse. Many homes are being converted to rentals as a result of this glut.
For example, in 2009, 50 homes were registered for the first time as rentals and in 2010 a total of
33 have been converted. All of these are single-family homes.
Many rentals are very well managed and maintained. However, there is no question that the
presence of many rentals in a concentrated area can have a blighting affect on a neighborhood.
The presence of owner-occupied units is very important to maintaining the stability and value of
an area. Additionally, ensuring that a home that is deteriorating or on the verge of decline is
being maintained is essential to preserving the quality of a neighborhood. Evidence has shown
that a single blighted house in a neighborhood can and will have a contagious effect on
surrounding properties.
The program proposed below could help to offset some of the impacts mentioned above. It is not
a unique concept, with many urbanized communities across the State implementing similarly
geared programs. Overtime a revolving fund could be established that would permit the program
to be broadened. If the current conditions change in the future and the need to intervene in the
Page 2 of 3
housing rehabilitation process is reduced, the program funds could be redirected to another
housing effort at that time. I’ve outlined the proposed process below for consideration at the
upcoming Board meeting. Thank you.
Blight Prevention & Neighborhood Protection Program
Program Purpose: To prevent the deterioration of otherwise stable neighborhood areas by

strategically acquiring foreclosed or abandoned properties for rehabilitation by the Township
and sale to private owner-occupants.
Targeted Properties are:

• Foreclosed or abandoned properties, that is neglected and blighted.
• Unlikely to be acquired by a private individual who intends to occupy the structure (i.e.
owner-occupied) by the standard mechanisms.
• Located in an otherwise fairly stable neighborhood that will benefit from the
Township’s intervention as outlined.
• Can be acquired and rehabilitated without exceeding the ultimate value of the property.
• Are available for $1 under the special HUD proram.
Benefits:
1. Elimination of blight and helping to prevent the spread of blight within a
neighborhood area.
2. Preventing the transition of a single-family home to a rental property by Encouraging
home-owner occupancy within a neighborhood.
3. Preventing unsafe abandoned buildings within the Township.
4. Stabilize and reinvest in an existing neighborhood to help preserve property values.
5. Encourage private investment in nearby homes.
Process:
1. Community Development staff identifies a property that meets the criteria.
a. Prepare an initial estimate of rehabilitation costs/needs.
2. If acquisition is successful begin rehabilitation work.*
3. Once completed (or nearly completed), list property with agent.
a. Advertise that the property is for owner-occupants only.
b. Ensure that list price recoups investment costs. Attempt to make a small gain
(when possible) on the sale to provide additional funding for next project.
4. Sale of home occurs.
a. Set recouped funds and any new profits aside to continue to build a “revolving
fund” for the program.
b. Evaluate project to identify where program improvement can be made and what
worked well.
*It is important to realize that there is a need to react very quickly to acquire some of these
properties. We are currently limited in the amount that we can offer (without prior Board
approval) to $10,000, which has been just too low of an offer on some of the properties that we
Page 3 of 3
would like to acquire. However, because of the way that the online bidding process works, we
would likely not have time to request Board permission to offer more than this amount and still
make a bid within the required timeframe to be successful. It would be helpful if the Board
would authorize us to make an offer of up to $20,000 on a property that we believe is a good
project under this program.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John B. Elsinga, Township Manager
FROM: Tracy L.C. Miller, Director of Community Development
DATE: Tuesday, March 29, 2011
RE: Chronological Information – Ordinance 32.1 (Amendment of Section 10-118

Relating to Discharge of Firearms, Weapons and Devices in Certain Areas of the
Township)
On November 4, 2009 Ms. Gwendolyn Rytlewski and Mr. Brent Woodman appeared before the
Township Board and requested that consideration be given to ordinance language which would
regulate bow and firearm target practicing in residential neighborhoods. Staff was asked to look
into the feasibility of this request and bring something back to the Board for consideration. In
early 2010 the Township Manager’s office began researching this matter. Existing ordinance
language was identified (1967), which reads as follows:
Section 2.1
No minor shall fire or discharge in any of the platted areas of the Charter Township of
Delhi any fire arms which include shot guns, rifles or pistols, B-B or pellet guns, slings
or sling shots, bows and arrows, or have said weapons in their possession uncased except
that the above weapons, with the exception of fire arms, may be fired, operated or used
under the direct supervision and control of an adult.
This existing language contains the following main provisions:

1. It is limited to minors.
2. It is limited to platted areas of the Township.
3. It requires adult supervision if a minor is going to fire/operate/use any of the weapons
except for a firearm.
4. A firearm can not be fired/operated/used by a minor regardless of adult supervision.
It was determined that the best approach would be to modify this existing language to
accommodate the current desired regulations. To that end, on March 16, 2010 the Board took
action (1st consideration) to amend this section of the Township Code. There was no one from
the public that spoke against this proposal at this meeting. However, a petition in support of the
proposed language/amendment was received that contained the signatures of twenty Township
residents
The proposed amendment, at that time, included the following provisions:
1. Expanded scope of regulations to include all people, not just minors.

Page 2 of 5
2. Included “Cross-bows” in the list of weapons.

3. Expanded the areas regulated to:
a. Within or into any platted area.
b. Within 400’ of any public park or public building.
4. Included an exclusion for:
a. law enforcement personal
b. self-defense
c. supervised recreation programs (conducted by a certified firearms instructor)
5. Included misdemeanor language.
After this meeting, the Township Board Members and Staff began to receive a lot of inquires
from citizens who were concerned about the proposed amendment. I was asked to participate in
determining the potential impact of the ordinance amendment, as currently proposed, and
provide a suggested alternative if desirable.
At the April 6, 2010 Board meeting I presented a second draft based on the original proposal of
the amendment. The Board voted to approve, upon first consideration, the second draft
language. The draft language included the following requirements:
1. Continued to expand the scope of regulations to include all people, not just minors.
2. Continued to include “Cross-bows” in the list of weapons.
3. Clarified the expansion of the areas regulated to cover all densely developed areas
(not just platted areas) as follows:
a. Platted areas, residential condominium developments, property zoned or used for
multi-family residential use, school property and parks or other public property.
b. The “400’ from public buildings” language was removed because of the potential
impact to properties nearby the more remote Township facilities (i.e. POTW).
4. Included an exclusion for:
a. law enforcement personal
b. self-defense
c. Supervised recreation programs conducted by a certified instructor, expanded to
recognize that all recreation programs may not be for “firearms” and that
therefore the instructor may not be a “firearms instructor” as was previously
specified.
5. Continued to include the misdemeanor language.
A map which illustrated the probable impact of this language on specific properties was also
provided to Board members.
On April 20, 2010 the Township Board held “second consideration” of the proposed language.
At this meeting seven individuals spoke against the amendment. Four of the individuals that
spoke were owners of the residentially zoned riverfront properties on Waverly Road. There was
significant discussion about the fact that although these properties are zoned residential, they are
large and generally “rural” in nature. Ultimately, the Board voted to indefinitely postpone the
amendment.
Page 3 of 5
There has been a continued interest on behalf of those that support the amendment and those that
oppose it since that time. Our office estimates that we receive an average of one phone call or
visit a week from an individual who is interested in the status of the amendment. The majority,
although not all, of these contacts are from those that are opposed to the amendment, although a
thorough understanding of the amendment by the individual is not always evident. I think that it
may be fair to assume that at least some citizens that would otherwise support the ordinance have
not been active participates because it may be assumed that this type of activity is already
prohibited, as it is in many urban and suburban municipalities.
For reference, I’ve looked at the ordinances of several municipalities that are similar to Delhi
Township or representative of our region to determine the level and type of regulation that exists.
While some communities do not appear to have regulations on the books about these activities, a
large portion do. In general, it appears that communities that are currently urban or are in the
process of urbanizing, frequently adopt regulations. To confirm this conclusion, I examined the
regulations of a number of truly urban communities (City of Lansing, Grand Rapids, Flint, Ann
Arbor, etc.) and found that all of these communities prohibit the discharge of weapons. In
contrast, none of the truly rural communities (Eaton Township, Brookfield Twp., etc.) that I
examined had any restrictions. Below is a summary of the information I gathered:
Community Name Does Local Summary of Regulation(s):

& Size Regulation These regulations cover discharge only, not ownership, carry, etc.
Exist?
Delta Township YES  Hunting or Discharge of a firearm for any reason is prohibited in Section 11
30,759 est. pop. (developed area) or within 150 yards of schools.
 Restrictions use of rifles in certain areas.
 Land use restrictions that classify Archery & Shooting Ranges as an “Outdoor
Commercial Recreation Est.”. Requires a SLU Permit (like a SUP). Could use
this language to exclude “backyard” ranges from residential areas.
City of Lansing YES  Prohibits any discharge of a weapon (all types) within the City limits.
113,810 est. pop.  Includes an exception for the LAPD and Parks & Rec programs.
Lansing Township YES  Prohibited. Includes exception for personal defense, law enforcement or at an
8,458 est. pop. approved shooting range.
City of DeWitt YES  Prohibits discharge of weapons, except that bow & arrows, BB guns/air guns
4,702 est. pop. (only) may be used on private property with the owner’s permission.
 Includes extra “hunting” regulations, requiring a hunter to be at least 450’ from
any building or public street and 200’ from any property lot line, whichever is
greater. The use of Crossbows is prohibited. This is more restrictive than state
law. The purpose of protecting safety of persons is stated as the reason for the
extra regulation within the ord. language.
City of Charlotte YES  Defines a “firearm” to including guns, BB guns, pellet guns, bows, etc.
8,915 est., pop.  Prohibited completely within City limits.
City of Owasso YES  Prohibited.

14,748 est. pop.
City of St. Johns YES  Prohibited. Includes exception for personal defense, law enforcement or at an
7,300 est. pop. approved shooting range.
Page 4 of 5
Pittsfield Township YES  Prohibited within defined urbanized areas.

(Washtenaw Co.)
30,167 est. pop.
Brighton Township YES  Prohibited within defined urbanized areas.

(Livingston Co.)  May be limited to discharge of guns, depending on their definition of a
17,673 est. pop. “firearm”.
(84% urban area/ 16% rural
per Township website)
Macomb Township YES  Prohibits discharge (Sec. 12-341).

(Oakland Co.)
70,326 est. pop.
Superior Township YES  Prohibits discharge of all firearms within the urbanized areas. Establishes
(Washtenaw Co.) criteria for other, less dense, areas.
Est. pop. 10,740
Charter Township of YES  Establishes standards (setbacks, etc.) for private target ranges for bow/arrow.
Orion (Oakland Co.) Prohibits practice with broad heads.
33,463 est. pop.  Prohibits discharge within defined urbanized areas.
(98% urban/2% rural)
Leoni Township (Jackson YES  Prohibits within identified urbanized areas.

Co.)
13,259 est. pop.
Summit Township YES  Prohibited, except at an approved target range.

(Jackson Co.)
21,534
In December of 2010, the Board indicated that this matter would be addressed in the early part of
2011. As a follow though, I’ve attached a proposed Ordinance amendment that limits the
affected properties to only those that are north of the Urban Service Boundary (USB) as outlined
in our Master Plan (also see attached map). Adding this language to the proposed amendment
removes the platted parcels on Waverly Road and a few others that are clearly rural in nature
from regulation. I believe based on our previous discussion that this change in the proposal will
go a long way in remedying most of the concerns previously expressed.
Below is a summary of the proposed Ordinance amendment:

1. Expand the scope of regulations to include all people, not just minors.
2. Include “Cross-bows” in the list of weapons.
3. Clarify the expansion of the areas regulated to cover all densely developed areas (not
just platted areas) as follows:
a. Platted areas, residential condominium developments, property zoned or used for
multi-family residential use, school property and parks or other public property,
which are located north of the Urban Service Boundary as presented on the
official Future Land Use Map which is a part of the Delhi Township Master Plan.
Page 5 of 5
4. Continue the exclusion for:

b. Law enforcement personal
c. Self-defense
d. Supervised recreation programs conducted by a certified instructor, expanded to
recognize that all recreation programs may not be for “firearms” and that
therefore the instructor may not be a “firearms instructor” as was previously
specified.
5. Continue to include the misdemeanor language.
However, there are other property owners who believe that target shooting, particularly with
bow/arrows, pellet guns, etc., should be permitted within the densely populated areas of the
Township. Largely, the individuals that share this belief that we have spoken to, have told us
that they believe deciding to engage in this activity should be left to individual judgment to
determine safety and appropriateness.
Another common theme has been that “I’ve always practiced shooting in my back yard and there
has never been any problem”. This may or may not be true for all affected parties. However, one
thing that is certain is that the Township has changed in that last 20 years and has become much
more urbanized.
Another change has been in the evolution of shooting sports equipment. Most people are pretty
aware of what a handgun, shotgun or rifle can do. However, the compound bows and air guns of
today are much more powerful than those that were available even 15 - 20 years ago. This
advancement in technology may constitute a greater threat in a densely populated urban area than
in the past if a misfire or other user/mechanical malfunction were to occur. For example, a
typical compound bow today is capable of 360’ per second or greater speed and broad
heads/arrows that are capable of easily penetrating plywood and in some cases concrete block.
For more information, see the following web links: www.ragebroadheads.com/compare.aspx,
www.eastonarchery.com/products/nfused, www.mathewsinc.com. Similarly, air guns have also
evolved. Specifications for common modern air guns can be found at www.crosman.com.
I hope that the information outlined above is helpful. Please let me know if there is anything else
that I can provide to you and/or the Board that would assist with the consideration of this matter.
Thank you.

STATE REVOLVING FUND (SRF) PROJECT PLAN AMENDMENT
Twp. Mgr. Elsinga introduced Jamie Burton from Hubbell, Roth and Clark. Mr. Burton gave a
brief presentation on the background of the original State Revolving Fund (SRF) Project Plan
and the amended project plan.
Twp. Mgr. Elsinga distributed a memorandum to the Board members dated April 5, 2010 from
Tom Traciak, American Community Infrastructure Finance, Inc. (ATTACHMENT I). The
memorandum stated that with the reduced project scope cost and review of the year end actual
numbers for 2009 and the updated 2010 Budget, it is Mr. Traciak’s observation that no further
adjustment should be made to the Basic Service Charge and the Commodity Charge.
Trustee Bajema commented that the amended project would not necessitate a rate increase this
year. Twp. Mgr. Elsinga concurred. Trustee Bajema also requested that in the future the Board
vote on the commodity charge and the basic service charge separately.
AMENDMENT TO DELHI CHARTER TOWNSHIP CODE – SPECIFICALLY SECTION 10-118

(ALSO KNOWN AS ORDINANCE NO. 32, SECTION 2.1) – DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS,
WEAPONS AND DEVICES, INTRODUCTION
The Board reviewed a memorandum dated March 31, 2010 from Tracy Miller, Director of
Community Development (ATTACHMENT II).
Tracy Miller, Director of Community Development, stated that interest was expressed to amend
Ordinance No. 32 to limit the discharge of weapons within certain areas of the Township where
it would be unsafe due to population density. Ordinance 32 is specific to minors; the amended
language would apply to all persons, not just minors, as well as include cross-bows as opposed
to just “bow and arrows”. The language specifies areas where the discharge of weapons would

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING HELD ON APRIL 6, 2010
not be allowed. It also states circumstances where the prohibition would not apply. Violation of
this ordinance shall be a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to five hundred dollars.
Gwendolyn Rytlewski, 1567 Gander Hill Drive, stated that she appreciated the proposed
amendment to this ordinance. Ms. Rytlewski questioned the supervised recreational program
conducted by a certified instructor. Ms. Miller stated that the idea was not to exclude organized
programs conducted by a certified instructor and further stated that a certified instructor would
not allow the unsafe discharge of a weapon.

any road closures or detours with the amended projects.
The project plan has been revised slightly since it was put out for public notice and the only thing
that changed from that document was the current user costs for sanitary sewer service is actually
$41.35 per month, per meter equivalent and that’s because the sewage rates were increased
just back in the December/January timeline, that was revised. And now I would ask if there are
any questions. Come to the microphone, state your name and address.

Tracy Miller, Director of Community Development, gave a re-cap of this amendment. Ms. Miller
stated that this amendment was introduced to the Board on March 16, 2010 at which time the
Board decided to postpone the item until April 6, 2010 for further review of the amendment. The
proposed amendment is to Section 2.1.
Various questions were asked and comments were made by the Board relative to areas in the
Township that would be affected by this amendment.
Trustee Ketchum stated that he owns a very small lot and shoots his bow and arrow in his yard.
Trustee Ketchum further stated that he feels that this amendment is unreasonable in restricting
this type of activity so he will vote nay on this amendment.
Trustee Bajema stated initially he had a number of concerns with this proposed amendment.
Trustee Bajema further commented that this is not a perfect map; however, it gives a basis for
neighbors being able to care about the safety of their children and it is his hope that common
sense could be factored in if law enforcement is called into a situation so he will be supporting
the amendment.
The following individuals spoke in opposition of the proposed amendment:

Letters were received by the Board from Gordon Miles, 750 Waverly Road and Jan Kelley, 676
Waverly Road in opposition of the proposed amendment.
Trustee Bajema asked if certain properties could be excluded from this amendment if they did
not make sense to be included. Ms. Miller answered in the affirmative; however, she stated that
care should be taken in doing this.

TRUST FUND GRANT APPLICATION – NORTH TRAIL CONNECTOR PROJECT
9373
HOPE MOVED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT

OF NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND GRANT APPLICATION – NORTH TRAIL
CONNECTOR PROJECT.

MOTION CARRIED
(As a requirement of this grant, the following public hearing was transcribed verbatim.)
Tracy Miller, Director of Community Development: By way of providing a little bit of background
on this project, you all know that in 2007, the Township adopted a non-motorized transportation
plan. There was a lot of public participation in that process. The top priority that came out of that
planning effort was the construction of a non-motorized pathway that would connect to the
Lansing River Trail and go south through the Township to eventually connect to communities to
the south such as the Hayhoe River Trail in Mason. Also, the Parks and Recreation (Master)
Plan was just recently redone that also prioritizes the trail system as being a major recreation
amenity. The first section of this north/south main trail was built several years ago using
Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Grant funds that come from the Federal government through
the Municipal Planning Organization, the MPO, through MDOT to our Act 55 Agency, which in
our case is Ingham County. We entered into an agreement with them to install that trail using
those funds. That was a $437,000 grant, approximately, to install that. The second section of that
trail, the one between Holt (Road) and Willoughby Road going along Depot and up through
Valhalla Park, was built as part of the Cedar Street Reconstruction Project by the DDA. It
stretches approximately from Dallas to Holbrook on the east side of Cedar Street. The next
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
section is what has been coined the North Trail Connector and I don’t know why we ever started
calling it that, but it’s basically the north part of the main trail that connects to the Lansing River
Trail and it will connect the existing section that currently ends at Willoughby Road. It will go
north all the way under I-96 at the Sycamore Creek through the Oakwood Executive Park
adjacent to Trinity Church down Five Oaks, across Jolly Road at Aurelius to connect with the
Lansing River Trail that currently ends in McGuire Park, which is right next to that 7-11. You’ve
seen a lot of construction activity there lately. This is about 2.8 miles of trail; it is a very large
section. We were strongly encouraged by the State of Michigan, both MDOT and the MDNRE, to
apply for that entire project as a joint application under their two grant programs that typically
fund these types of projects. Total project cost is estimated to be about 2.9 million dollars, over
sixty percent of which would be given to us from State sources if we are successful in our grant
awards. The first source money we have already applied for; you all authorized the submission of
that grant several meetings ago now. That’s approximately 1.45 million dollars, and it’s under the
Michigan Department of Transportation Enhancement program. Enhancement grant dollars are
Federal dollars that come from the Federal Highway Administration to MDOT, the Michigan
Department of Transportation. They can only be used for off-road enhancements, trail projects
are their favorite kind of projects but they also do, for example, if anyone is familiar with the
enhancements that were done in downtown Eaton Rapids as a part of the M-50 redo, those were
enhancement dollars as well. So they’re off-road, they can’t be used for road projects. The
second component of this project from a grant perspective is under the Michigan Natural
Resources Trust Fund grant program. You all are familiar with this program; in fact we just
received a grant from this program to build the bathroom pavilion at Valhalla Park. The funding
available under that program used to be at a level of $500,000 per project; it is now $300,000 per
project, that is brand new information but these dollars actually come from mineral and gas
leases that the State of Michigan has with public entities on private property. So it’s not tax
revenue driven. The money comes from private entities to the State and it is by law, set aside for
9374
recreation projects. Again, they love trail projects that serve as recreation as well as
transportation. So we would need to apply for that grant by the end of this month. A public
hearing is required in order to do that. That is what we are doing tonight. Hopefully we will be
awarded both grant projects. I think that we would, well I pretty much know, that we need the
grants in order to move forward with the construction of this project. The DDA is committed to
funding the Township’s match for the grants but without the grants, I’m not sure that the project
could go forward anytime soon. That being said, the trail that exists has been phenomenally
popular. Any day of the year, it doesn’t matter if there is a foot of snow on it; I know you can talk
with our Parks Director, Mark Jenks, but there are people using the trail, they enjoy it. It has been
a huge enhancement to Valhalla and the neighborhoods that can already access the trail. The
really neat thing about the current trail sections as well as the north trail connector that we are
talking about is that a huge majority of the Township’s neighborhoods are connected by
sidewalks where they could gain access to the trail and ride their bikes with their family or walk or
whatever they want to do all the way to Michigan State or all the way to Potter Park Zoo. It’s
really a huge, huge amenity for our community to be able to tie into this regional resource. Are
there any questions that I haven’t covered?
Trustee Ketchum: One question, how long will it be before we find out about the grants,
approximately, do you know?
Ms. Miller: I would say that we will probably have word by early summer. But because of the way
the State’s funding, well you know, October 1st would be the first opportunity that funding would
be available, so we wouldn’t probably see construction until early next spring, spring of 2012.
Trustee Hayhoe: Just a question, comment. First, there are no general funds from the Township
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
going to this; this is all State money and DDA money?
Ms. Miller: That is correct. Natural Resource Trust Fund does allow for in-kind, so obviously, like
my time. . .
Trustee Hayhoe: Donations
Ms. Miller: Right.
Trustee Hayhoe: No taxpayer money then?
Ms. Miller: DDA funds, that’s it.
Trustee Hayhoe: I would like to make a comment on that. My business has been on Cedar
Street for over forty years and we started paying into that DDA fund when it first started and
being sort of an old fashion guy, I’m not really in favor of sidewalks, I don’t walk on them a lot but
having children and grandchildren now living in the community I can see the future and talking to
some young people in the community, I think it is a good project for them and something we can
start for them to walk on so I will probably vote in favor of this.
Clerk Hope: We did receive some letters on this issue. I gave you copies of them. One is not
necessarily against the trail but against the DDA putting money toward it. The basic theme is that
the DDA has other priorities. This is from Vince Dragonetti, 2211 Aspenwood Drive, Holt.
Then these following ones are all in support of the trail and the expansion of the trail:
David Bazzett, 1422 Bonapart Dr., Holt
9375
Debra Tews, 3852 Calypso Lane, Holt

Amy Dalton, 1826 Enfield Dr., Holt
Kathi Shipley, 2337 Park Lane, Holt
Vern Taylor, 3852 Calypso Lane, Holt
Stan and Karen Kogut, no address and
David and Laura Purol, 2701 Pine Tree Road, Holt
I also received a phone call today from someone who was not able to make it tonight, wanted me
to pass on to the Board, Michael Fifelski, 4603 Holt Road, wanted me to let you all know that he
and his wife support this and his quote he wanted me to tell you is that he thinks “that this is the
best idea that we’ve ever had”.
Trustee Bajema: My only question was in the discrepancy in the memos. Tracy, your memo said
that the grant to MDOT was for 1.447 million; John’s memo said it was for 1 million. Tracy, yours
on the Natural Resources Trust Fund said it was for $300,000; John’s said it was for $500,000.
Ms. Miller: If the numbers, the numbers that are in mine are right, sorry John.
Trustee Bajema: Thanks.
Ms. Miller: I think the confusion is because of the trust fund change, because when we originally
talked about this we thought it was $500,000 and that’s like brand new information, so I think
that’s probably where that came from.
Trustee Bajema: I like your MDOT grant number better than John’s.
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
Ms. Miller: Well then ultimately, they will give us what they give us. It just depends on funding
available.
Supervisor Goodrich: I would like to add also that we, I can’t remember exactly the dates, but I
think in 2007 or 2008, we did a survey, sent them out to 1,300 people in Delhi Township. . .
Twp. Mgr. Elsinga: 1,200
Supervisor Goodrich: Ok, I knew I was close, 1,200 people, and this was one of the things that
they also indicated that they wanted to see, walkable Delhi Township, to become walkable and
more friendly and that way. And we did two surveys, two years apart, so we have kind of taken
that into consideration also.
Ms. Miller: Can I just make what I think, one more point. I’m not sure I made this clear, but just
so everyone is on the same page, this is only to submit the grant applications. If the State comes
back to us and says, you know what, we love your project but we are only going to give you ten
dollars and the rest you have to fund yourself, we do not have to accept the grant.
Trustee Bajema: How much is the DDA willing to go, do we know?
Supervisor Goodrich: That has, the amount has not been determined, because we don’t know
what they will, what kind of grants we are going to get. When we know where the grants are we
will make the determination on whether or not . . .
Trustee Bajema: But it could be more than the 1.3 that was previously mentioned?
9376
Supervisor Goodrich: It could be. Ok, Board all set? Audience, if somebody would like to come
to the mic, please identify yourself. If you would like to line up that would be great, that would get
things over a whole lot quicker.
Win Stebbins: I’m Win Stebbins, 4427 Holt Road. I’m a new resident in Holt. I support this path.
It’s a marvelous connector to the Greater Lansing trail system. It would be a marvelous activity. I
hope it brings Lansing people into Holt and beyond south, further south. The present trail that
goes through Valhalla Park and ends at Willoughby, you really have to turn around and come
back because Willoughby is not really bicycle friendly either direction. I really support the Greater
Lansing trail system and for this two mile stretch to open up twenty or twenty-five or forty miles of
trail would, that would, just connect Holt and this area with the Greater Lansing bicycle trail
network and I hope that it brings them down into Holt also, two-way traffic.
Supervisor Goodrich: Thank you very much. I would say that we have had more people visiting
the cemetery than we ever had before. That’s kind of a little side thing there.
Matt Lincoln: My name is Matt Lincoln. I currently am a Lansing resident. I live in south Lansing,
5640 Annapolis, like that really matters to you guys. Anyway, I’m looking to move to Delhi
Township. My kids both go to Holt Schools, which is one of the reasons; another reason is
because this Township continues to invest in important projects like to improve the quality of life
like this for its citizens, so I’m speaking in support of the project today. Just a little background, I
do bike to work, which I work downtown in Lansing and I pick it up right there at Jolly Road at 7-
11 and my kids and I frequent Valhalla Park in the summer and it is amazing when we are there
seeing the popularity of that trail, and right now it doesn’t go anywhere. So it would be awesome
to see that connection and obviously if I ever do move to Holt then I will still be able to use the
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
trail system to bike to work every day. I am supportive and I think it’s a great project, not only, I
think, I think it’s a project that is key in this economy. Not only for transportation, but to improve
healthy living as well and the fitness and improve the overall quality of life. Thank you.
Supervisor Goodrich: Thank you very much.
Patrick Flahie: Hi, my name is Patrick Flahie. I live at 4139 Santa Clara. I have lived in the
Township for eight years now. Just wanted to say bike paths are a valuable asset to
communities. They provide recreational opportunities, promote fitness and well-being and help
remove vehicles from the road by providing safe alternatives to motorized transportation.
Specifically connecting the River Trail makes Delhi Township’s trails more valuable to residents
and local businesses. With that connection, residents would be able to safely walk, run or ride to
Hawk Island, Michigan State, Potter Park, downtown Lansing and Old Town without having to try
to negotiate that stretch of Aurelius. It is something that I’m willing to do. I do it on foot to run up
to Hawk Island or I ride up there, but I’m not going to put my three kids on that road to trail
behind or something like that. Additionally, local businesses benefit from additional exposure to
potential customers. During the summer I regularly ride my bike on the River Trail up to Old
Town for breakfast or over to the dairy store at Michigan State for an ice cream. People that live
in this area are just as likely, if given the opportunity, to say let’s go for a ride, let’s grab an ice
cream at Sweet Sensations, a beer at the Crystal Bar or a coffee at Biggby. So we’re opening up
our businesses to new potential customers. So in summary, I think this trail is a very smart use of
Township resources and should be aggressively pursued. Thank you.
Supervisor Goodrich: Thank you. For all of you people who are exercising, I hope you will sign
up for the Winter Warm-Up. If you haven’t, Tricia is the person to see and she will take care of
signing you up. All you have to do is report to her the exercising and the walking and riding and
9377
how many hours, that sort of thing. We are currently in second place; Charlotte leads the way
with probably 5-600 miles. To win this, if we were to win this, it means three thousand dollars out
of Blue Cross Blue Shield, first prize. Second prize, is what a thousand?
Tricia Vander Ploeg, Administrative Secretary: Two
Supervisor Goodrich: Fifteen hundred?
Ms. Vander Ploeg: Two
Supervisor Goodrich: Two thousand. Last year we came in second. We took the money and put
it into a drinking fountain that is over along the trail. The three thousand would also go into the
trail. So if you exercise or do anything like that, please see Tricia, she will take care of it for you.
Ok Tricia?
Ms. Vander Ploeg: Yes, it sounds good. I really wanted to do that, that’s awesome.
Joan Fabiano: My name is Joan Fabiano, and I’m a resident of Holt and I just want to make
sure, I came in a little late so I want to make sure I get all of my facts straight and I thought I
heard Stuart say that Delhi Township was willing to invest 1.8 million?
Supervisor Goodrich: No
Ms. Fabiano: Ok, what did you say?

SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
Supervisor Goodrich: I did not say anything.
Ms. Fabiano: Oh, ok. Because Derek mentioned something about what were you willing,
because, I’m sorry, what’s your name?
Ms. Miller: Tracy.
Ms. Fabiano: Yes, Tracy. Tracy was saying you can apply for the grant but the money you get in
the grant you might get ten dollars, you might get whatever. Then Derek said something about
well, how much are you willing to invest in this project?
Supervisor Goodrich: Well, that’s close to the question he asked me.
Ms. Fabiano: Oh, ok.
Supervisor Goodrich: He asked me was there a set amount, was that written in stone kind of . . .
Trustee Bajema: From the DDA.
Supervisor Goodrich: And I said no, no it was not written in stone; we could go more, I’m sure.
Ms. Fabiano: Ok, how much is the DDA willing to invest?
Supervisor Goodrich: I’ve already answered that.
9378
Ms. Fabiano: Ok, because the way it stands now, it’s like what could be the total amount of the
project. How much would be the total amount of this trail.
Trustee Bajema: 2.6 million, I believe.
Ms. Fabiano: Ok, 2.6 million.
Ms. Fabiano: Then it’s pretty hard to say if we don’t really know the amount that the DDA is
willing to invest in this. It could be upwards of over a million dollars. And I think John said that
because it comes from DDA, it’s not taxpayer money, but the DDA is funded through property tax
collection, is that not correct. So, it is taxpayer money. So even though I am a physical fitness
buff, I’m a hiker, a walker, I use the trails, I’m against this project because I think it’s not a good
use of taxpayer money in a recession. And we were told last year, that we might not have fire
and police because we did not have the money, so millages were put on the ballot which raised
everybody’s property taxes in a recession with declining property values. So if we didn’t have the
money and had to have millages, I don’t understand why we are engaging in, even though it is
something nice, we would like to have, we are engaging in a project that could cost the taxpayer
money from property taxes well in excess of a million dollars. So I don’t support that type of
spending in this environment, in this type of climate, in a recession.
Supervisor Goodrich: Thank you.
Robert Roach: Robert Roach. I live at 3650 Observatory Road in College Heights. I’ve lived in
this community for nineteen years now and I’m an avid runner, I do ironman triathlons and so you
will probably see me run by your houses throughout the year, and bike ride. I travel a lot for work
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
throughout the day, throughout other communities, throughout Michigan and I am very jealous of
other communities that have these walk trails, bike trails because the entire time I run I have no
trails or sidewalks I run on, so when I go down Willoughby Road or Dell Road or Pine Tree Road
I’m playing chicken with cars. Last year I took, I have four children, I took them down Willoughby
Road, they had to ride on the dirt while I was running and my youngest went right into the road
and the car had to swerve and thank God the car was paying attention and when I heard of this
trail being constructed I was probably that happiest person in Holt. And cause you know a million
dollars or two million dollars cannot replace a kids life that has no place to exercise or to walk.
We all want our kids to go out and be athletic and you know, obesity is, you hear about it all the
time. Well, let’s get these kids having the ability to actually ride their bikes somewhere where
they don’t have to worry about getting hit by cars. Walk up to, go up to Potter Park Zoo, take
advantage of Hawk Island. I’m very conservative in nature, I don’t like taxes being raised or
spent but this project I will help raise money to have this done, I really think it’s a necessity and
one of the nice things this winter with this trail we have from Depot to Holt Road to Willoughby,
even though it’s only a mile stretch, in the winter, we had a bad winter and I was running through
snow because, you know, the streets that I do run on were not even snow plowed but as soon as
I hit that trail, it was ice free. So who ever maintains that, thank you very much, I appreciate it.
Hopefully, we can, you know; if you need help lobbying the State or doing whatever, I’ll do
whatever I can to get this trail in place.
Supervisor Goodrich: Thank you very much. It’s the Parks and Rec Department that uh, the
gentleman in the white shirt at the round table.
Mr. Roach: Excellent, thanks.
9379
Supervisor Goodrich: Very good. Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to speak for or
against?
Dale Miihlbach: I’m Dale Miihlbach. I live at 1965 Hamilton Street. I agree with the young lady
that spoke about this is not the right time to spend our money for this, we have other needs.
Cedar Street through Holt, my God, that is a washboard. Every street you go into in this city, this
little Township here is the same way and then we go and we waste. Not that I wouldn’t be
against that if it were better times, but right now is not the time to do something like this. Raise
our taxes, we like to see what we get for them, roads is number one right now, not this bike trail,
not this bike trail. Think about that long and hard please.
Supervisor Goodrich: Well, if I can just comment. Two separate fundings. First of all the roads
are taken care of by the Ingham County Road Commission. We don’t have any control over that.
Solely taken care of by the Ingham County Road Commission, one of our Commissioners is
sitting in the audience, they are also involved in that too, the County Commissioners. Not the
Township Board, we don’t have anything to say about any of the roads and Cedar Street by the
way will be taken care of hopefully . . .
Mr. Miihlbach: Seems like I heard that a couple of years ago . . .
Supervisor Goodrich: Yep, right.
Mr. Miihlbach: And every year it seemed to be something new coming in, like this bike trail here
this year.
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
Supervisor Goodrich: The bike trail doesn’t have anything to do with it.
Mr. Miihlbach: Maybe it don’t, just like this young lady said, it’s the taxpayers . . .
Supervisor Goodrich: I understand
Mr. Miihlbach: Our monies keep going up, and up and up, even in a recession. How much did
my taxes go down, seven dollars, seven dollars is all it went down. But I can imagine before the
year is over it will probably go up two hundred dollars.
Supervisor Goodrich: Ok
Mr. Miihlbach: If you keep doing stuff like this. Thank you.
Supervisor Goodrich: Thank you.
Steven Leiby: Steven Leiby, 2691 Hydra. I live on the west end of the Township. I’ve been here
for fifteen years almost. Like a few of the other people, I have ridden the River Trail. I’ve been
abicyclist a long time. Aurelius Road, I’ve ridden it from Jolly Road to Willoughby. I’m not sure
that I like driving it, riding it on a bicycle, it’s not fun at all even though there is a City bike lane
there. Well, it’s supposedly a bike lane. So I would support this. It’s a good idea. It’s not road
money and I think the Township should apply for it. It would be a good asset. The River Trail has
been a wonderful asset for the City of Lansing, it’s gotten a lot of people; it brings a lot of
attractions. And having observed this kind of trail being built in other parts of the State, people
speaking against it are usually the people living closest to it and then after it is built when they go
to sell their land, they advertise that they are within a hundred yards of this trail, it’s a wonderful
9380
thing and it raises the values. My house value has gone down a lot more apparently than yours
have, because my taxes did not go down seven dollars, they went down a whole lot more than
that. And I understand that this is target money, it’s not road money and our roads do need work
but I would encourage you to support this application. Thank you.
Supervisor Goodrich: If you want to speak, please get up and get in line so it speeds things up.
Hi there.
Chris Gilliland: Hi, I’m Chris Gilliland. I live at 1525 Holbrook Drive so we are the very end of the
current bike trail that starts at Holt Road. I understand that the bike trail is a good thing and to
connect the Holt community with the Lansing community and the East Lansing community. I do
have also some concern about is this the right time to do it? I understand that grant money, it
sounds like, and I am going to ask again, the Board that everything is going to be taken care of
through grant money and DDA, is that true?
Supervisor Goodrich: That’s correct.
Ms. Gilliland: Ok. If the grant money is a little short, the DDA will hopefully, I guess my comment
is do we have the assurance of the Board that no other money from the Township budget will go
into this project. Either the DDA will make up the difference or they are going to scrap it.
Supervisor Goodrich: That’s for the Board to make that determination. I won’t speak for that. But
I can say that it will go in front of the DDA to entertain an increase if we don’t get everything that
we expect.
SUBJECT TO APPROVAL
Ms. Gilliland: Cause I’m just thinking that if the DDA has that kind of money laying around, we
may want to hold off and tap them for what the State is not going to be giving us in revenue
sharing. I mean, the Township is up for obviously a big shortage if the Governor’s proposed
budget goes anywhere near through what they are talking about and we are going to have
trouble with schools because that is four hundred and seventy dollars per pupil. So it could, I’m
just looking down the road that what we may be looking at a year or two years from now in this
Township about continuing to just keep up the standard of living we have right now. And I
understand again the path and it’s a good thing but I am just a little concerned that maybe we
should be saving that for rainy day money and not putting it into this just because we can get a
grant. It’s like if I told my husband that diamonds were on sale and they were three carats and
they were a thousand dollars off, I still have to come up with the other five thousand to buy that
diamond, so just because something is on sale or just because you get a grant doesn’t
necessarily mean that it’s the right time to do it. Thank you.
Supervisor Goodrich: But if you told Mike to go and buy it he would.
Ms. Gilliland: Inaudible comment.
Supervisor Goodrich: Seeing nobody else moving to the mic . . .
Mark Farone: Oh, I’ll do it. Two points to kind of bring it together. In principle I agree with the
concept of the trail. I think it is an excellent idea given our society and our ideas to improve our
health. I have to back up as a taxpayer and I have to ask the hard questions. The hard questions
are, let me back up. The DDA is the Downtown Development Association right, that’s the
acronym? The Downtown Development Authority, I have to ask the hard business question, I’m
business minded. I think the charter of the DDA is to develop the downtown. With all due respect,
9381
what’s my return on the investment? I have to ask that question. It doesn’t pass my personal
limits test, though be it, I understand my fellow citizens’ desire to walk and exercise. So I
challenge the Board yet again, we talked in August or July for the other millage, it’s time to
tighten belts, it’s time to allocate funds to secure the future commitment of Delhi versus a short
term need. And I do applaud my fellow citizens and their desire to have this but it gets back to
the return on investment. That’s my concern, allocating funds that are a big question mark folks,
a big question mark. I think it’s 50% of 2.9 is what I think I got on my notes. So bear that in mind,
I would rather see that 1.5 go to developing business and business infrastructure within the
Township. My two cents. Thank you very much.
Supervisor Goodrich: Thank you. One of the things I think we need to keep in mind; this public
hearing is only to tell us whether or not we should apply for the grant money. Am I correct on
that?
Ms. Miller: Yeah, and comments on the project in itself. You know, support for the project and
whether it’s a good idea for the community is what MDNR is interested in finding out. All good
comments.
Supervisor Goodrich: Ok, very good. I’ll entertain a motion to close the public hearing.
Clerk Hope: I move to close the public hearing.
Treasurer Ammon: Support
Motion to Close Public Hearing – 8:32p.m.

MEMORANDUM
RE: Resolution No. 2011-007 – Authorizing the Issuance and

Delegating the Sale of Charter Township of Delhi 2011 Refunding
Bonds, Series A
Enclosed for your review and approval is Resolution No. 2011-007 which would
authorize and delegate the sale of Charter Township of Delhi 2011 Refunding
Bonds, Series A.
According to our Township Financial Consultant Tom Traciak, of H.J. Umbaugh

& Associates, the current low interest rates along with the September 1, 2011
optional redemption date for our “2002 Capital Improvement Bonds” make them
attractive for refunding with significant savings. Edward D. Jones & Co.,L.P. will
be the underwriter for these bonds and their current projection of present value
savings by refunding these “2002 bonds” will exceed $178,000 which is over 4%
of the par value. The resolution requires a minimum savings of 2%.
The cost of issuance will be $47,644 plus the underwriters discount will be set at
$58,612.50 both of which will be paid from the bond proceeds. The original
“2002 Capital Improvement Bonds” were sold in the amount of $6,200,000 of
which 16.65%, or $1,032,300, was for water improvements and the remaining
83.35%, or $5,167,700, was for POTW improvements. The sale of the new
“2011 Refunding Bonds, Series A” will not exceed $4,500,000 (estimated today
at $4,335,000) and will pay of the remaining principal of $4,130,000, issuance
costs of $47,644, underwriters discount of $58,612.50 plus interest of
$97,921.25.
Based upon the significant savings currently estimated at $178,000 I recommend

approval of refunding the original 2002 Capital Improvement Bonds as the
Charter Township of Delhi 2011 Refunding Bonds, Series A.
Recommended Motion:
To adopt Resolution No. 2011-007 which would authorize and

delegate the sale of the Charter Township of Delhi 2011
Refunding Bonds, Series A.

FROM: Tom Traciak
RE: Proposed General Obligation Limited Tax Refunding Bonds, Series 2011
Interest rates continue to remain relatively low, especially in the short term, i.e., 10 year duration
and less. We have been reviewing outstanding indebtedness in order to identify potential
refunding opportunities. One issue of the Township that has been identified as a refunding
candidate is the 2002 Capital Improvement Bonds (the “2002 Bonds”).
There are two main reasons that make refunding the 2002 Bonds desirable. The first reason is
that the Township can achieve lower interest rates and therefore create debt service savings over
the remaining life of the bond issue, i.e., 10 years. The second reason is that the 2002 Bonds are
approaching the optional redemption date. The 2002 Bonds can be redeemed without penalty on
September 1, 2011. This allows the Township to redeem the 2002 Bonds without incurring large
amounts of negative arbitrage.
The process to complete the refunding bond issue will be similar to the process used to complete
the 2010 refunding bonds (however, these are not DDA bonds – only Township Board action is
necessary for this issue). The Township will just need to adopt a new bond resolution containing
a minimum debt service savings threshold … if the threshold is met, the Board will adopt a
ratifying resolution after the sale of the bonds.
Once again, I am recommending Edward Jones as the underwriter on the proposed refunding
bonds. They did an excellent job achieving low interest rates last year and I would expect to
have the same experience in this transaction.
I hope this provides a good summary of the proposed refunding bonds and please feel to contact
me if you have any further questions or comments.

Therefore, I recommend the Board accept the lowest responsive bid from Fisher
Scientific Company in the total amount of $17,187.92.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: JOHN ELSINGA, TOWNSHIP MANAGER

FROM: SANDRA DIORKA, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICES
SUBJECT: POTW – LABORATORY SUPPLIES
DATE: MARCH 29, 2011
COPY TO: JEFF RANES, FILE
As has been the tradition since 1999, the POTW has taken proposals for a large
order of laboratory supplies. These items represent a one-year supply of anticipated
routine use. Proposals were solicited from the only major suppliers of laboratory
operating supplies; Fisher Scientific (Fisher), VWR International, and North Central
Labs (NCL). Other operating supplies, sample tubing, were also included. This will
result in a substantial savings on the actual cost of the supplies and additional savings
on shipping costs, as well as administrative and laboratory staff time.
A summary of the supplies and costs from each of the vendors is attached
hereto. Fisher had the lowest responsive bid and included free shipping.
Laboratory supplies and sample tubing are budgeted items and funds are
available in the Department of Public Services Laboratory Supplies Account Number
590-558.00-742.000 and Other Operating Expenses Account Number 590-558.00-
741.000.
I respectfully request that you recommend to the Board a motion to approve an

expenditure of $16,354.89 for laboratory supplies, and $833.08 from other operating
expenses from Fisher Scientific; for a total purchase price of $17,187.92.

MEMORANDUM
RE: Amendment to the Delhi Charter Township Downtown

Development Authority Executive Director Employment Agreement
Last year Al McFadyen, the Executive Director of the Downtown Development

Authority (DDA), told the DDA Board he would be retiring at the end of his current
contract on July 1, 2012. To that end, he and the DDA’s Executive Committee
has recommended the current chairman of the DDA Board, C. Howard Haas,
become his replacement upon his retirement.
This succession plan has been reviewed and approved by the DDA Board and
includes Mr. Haas becoming a part-time employee of the DDA beginning October
1, 2011 at sixteen (16) hours per week through June 30, 2012. Then after July 1,
2012 Al will retire and Mr. Haas will begin his duties as Executive Director of the
DDA based upon thirty (30) hours per week.
To accommodate the FY 2012 budget, Al has recommended a reduction in

compensation for his final six months of employment (January 1, 2012 to July 1,
2012) and I commend him for this accommodation which is an extension of his
distinguished service to the citizens of Delhi Township. Our Township Attorney,
Dick Robinson, has drafted an Amendment to Al’s Employment Agreement
reflecting this reduction in compensation effective January 1, 2012. The DDA
Board approved the Amendment at their March 22, 2011 meeting and I
recommend the same.
Recommended Motion:
To approve the Agreement to Amend the Delhi Charter Township

Downtown Development Authority Executive Director
Employment Agreement effective January 1, 2012.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Stuart Goodrich, Delhi Charter Township Supervisor

John Elsinga, Delhi Charter Township Manager
FROM: Al McFadyen
SUBJECT: Amendment to DDA Executive Director’s Employment Agreement
In discussing the transition from my services as full time DDA Executive Director to the
proposed employment contract with Howard Haas as DDA Executive Director on a less
than 40 hour per week basis, I recommended to the DDA Board that my compensation
be reduced to 75% of my current base salary effective January 1, 2012. This will assist in
the transition and ensure that the DDA’s 2012 administrative budget will remain slightly
below historical levels. After 2012, the administrative budget should remain significantly
below historic levels.
As Dick Robinson was drafting the employment agreement for Howard Haas, he
pointed out that this proposed reduction in my compensation should be memorialized
in an amendment to my existing contract with the DDA and Township. The attached
brief amendment accomplishes this. It has been approved by the DDA Board and
should be approved by the Township Board in order to become effective in January
2012. Please feel free to contact me if I can provide any further information.

MEMORANDUM
RE: Delhi Charter Township Downtown Development Authority

Employment Contract – C. Howard Haas
Enclosed for your review and approval is an Employment Agreement between

the Delhi Charter Township Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and C.
Howard Haas as a part-time employee of the DDA beginning October 1, 2011
and then becoming its Executive Director on July 1, 2012 following the retirement
of our current Executive Director.
The terms and conditions of this Agreement were drafted by our Township
Attorney, Dick Robinson, and approved by the DDA Board and Mr. Haas at their
March 22, 2011 meeting. It should be noted the salary of $4,000 per month
beginning on July 1, 2012 will be based upon Mr. Haas’ employment services
consisting of approximately 30 hours per week. No additional compensation or
benefits will be provided except for the employer’s share of FICA and insurance
as required by law.
Mr. Haas has been a member of this community for over 30 years and has
served on the DDA since 1992 and as chairman for the past 13 years. His
professional career in financial/banking services as well as his experience on the
DDA Board prepares him well for this position. Therefore, I recommend the
Board approve the Employment Agreement between the DDA and C. Howard
Haas.
Recommended Motion:
To approve the Employment Agreement between the Delhi

Charter Township Downtown Development Authority and C.
Howard Haas effective October 1, 2011 and expiring on July 1,
2015.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Stuart Goodrich, Delhi Charter Township Supervisor

John Elsinga, Delhi Charter Township Manager
FROM: Al McFadyen, Executive Director Delhi Charter Township DDA
SUBJECT: Employment Contract with C. Howard Haas
As you know, for the past several months I have been in discussions with the DDA
Executive Committee, the DDA Board and Township leadership on the subject
of my replacement as DDA Executive Director when my current contract term
expires July 1, 2012. I have made a recommendation that the DDA Board and
Township Board pursue an employment contract with Howard Haas, the
longtime chairman of the Delhi Charter Township DDA. In furtherance of this
recommendation, various discussions have been held with Howard on the
possible terms of an employment contract and the process has now reached
the point where an actual employment contract may be considered by the
Township Board.
I have strongly advocated for the engagement of Howard as my replacement

for a number of reasons. He is a known commodity to both the DDA Board and
the Township. Howard has deep roots in Holt and has served as a DDA Board
member for over 18 years. He has been active in any number of volunteer
activities in the Delhi community in the many years he and his family have lived
here. In addition, Howard’s nearly 40 years experience as a leader in Lansing
banking circles make him uniquely qualified to connect the DDA to local
developers, investors and other business interests. He is keenly interested in
helping local businesses succeed. All of this aligns perfectly with the skill set,
experience and interests desirable in an Executive Director for the Delhi Charter
Township DDA.
I am pleased that Howard’s recent retirement from Mercantile Bank coincides

so closely with the opening of the DDA Executive Director’s position. This offers a
unique opportunity to ensure continuity in leadership of the DDA. It is understood
that Howard will not be re-appointed to the DDA once his term expires in July of
this year. This will occur on advice from the DDA’s legal counsel and in
anticipation of Howard’s part-time employment later this year.
1
The employment contract is structured to take effect October 1, 2011. Howard
will begin working in the DDA office for a limited number of hours in October of
this year and these limited office hours will continue until July 1, 2012.
I am attaching an employment agreement between C. Howard Haas, the Delhi

Township DDA and the Delhi Charter Township Board of Trustees. This agreement
was drafted by Township Attorney J. Richard Robinson and closely parallels the
agreement currently in effect with me. Please note that the compensation to be
paid Howard in accordance with this agreement is significantly lower than the
compensation called for in the agreement currently in effect with me. This is in
consequence of a reduced work week and the discontinuance of all
allowances, retirement, sick and vacation pay. This will result in a savings to the
DDA’s administrative budget starting in the 2012 fiscal year.
This agreement was approved by the DDA Board at their March 22 meeting. It is
being forwarded to you for consideration by the Delhi Charter Township Board in
accordance with the State Law enabling the creation and operation of
Downtown Development Authorities. Please feel free to contact my office if I
can provide any further information.

employment may be terminated immediately upon notice to the employee.
In the event of termination of the employee pursuant to subsection A above,
