Re:
IFT application- Challenge Mfg Company, LLC,
i\rlrninisllatur/Cc>~illllllllity Devcloplilcnt Dirc;c:!Oi~?,}-
The City of Pontiac received an application for an Industrial Facilitie$ Tax Exemption Certificate
(IFT) from Challenge Mfg. Company, LLC on September 11, 2014 for new construction at 2100 S.
Opdyke (2501 Centerpoint), The total investment will be $19,844,539, represented as $3.1 million
for sire work and the balance for the construction of a new building. The building permit was issued
July 29, 2014 and is expected to end by February 27,2015. According to Oaklan.d County, the
property is presently owned by MMP·Group Assembly, LLC, but the County is also representing a
recent sale to Challenge Pontiac. Two hundred flfiy new jobs at this facility are expected to be
created within two years of completion. If the company filled all positions a11d paid at the rates as
indicated in their application to the MEDC, the City should realize at least $72,194.20 in non· resident
income tax withholding. The MEDC is also reducing or abating State Education Taxes as pmi of the
State's incentive program. Another incentive the MEDC has offered to Challenge Mfg'is an
extensive workforce development package tlu·ough their Talent Enhancement prqgram, which
incluaes a separate proposal from Michigan Works!. The amount of years requested for exemption is
12 years. A brownfield plan has already been approved for this project with the assumption that the
abatement would be granted.
The property tax would be calculated as follows:
The Act states that the tax computation for new facility real property is detennined by
multiplying the Taxable Value (TV) of the facility by '/, of the total mills other than the State
Education Tax (SET) mills levied as ad valorem taxes for that year by all of the taxing units
where the property is located plus the total SET mills, unless receiving a 100% or 50%
abatement from the State Trea~urer under MCL 207.564a.
Because this is in a brownfield, virtually all property taxes paid will be captured by the brownfield
and retumed to the owner as reimbursement for eligible costs.
On November 5, 1984, the Pontiac City Council legally established the Industrial Development
District,
Under lvlCL 207.555, before acting Oli the application, the City Council must hold a public hearing
on the application and give public notice to the applicant, the assessor, a representative of the affected
taxing units, and the general public, I am recommending that at least 14-days notice be given for the
referenced public hearing (law is silent for this hearing, but requires a 14-day minimum to establish
the district).

September 11, 2014
MCL 207.556 states that the legislative body, not more than 60 days after receipt of the application
by the cierk, shall by resolution either approve or disapprove the application. The application must
be fo.rwarded to the State Tax Commission by October 3 J. I have attached a draft resolution for
consideration by the City CounCil.
Due to the late submission, administration has not had adequate time to properly review the
ilpplication and make a recommendation, but due to the statutory schedule, I am asking that a
public liC;Irillg on tllis issue be held tl1c sn111C day ns tile public 1ic;1ring on the Gcncrnl Motors
abntement request. /\dministration will provide analysis next week.
i
Something to consider: the application rnust be completed and recuived by the State Tax
Commission by October 31, 2014, meaning TAB approval would be required on October 22,
2014. The deadline to submit action items to the TAB for consideration on their October 22
agenda is October 10.

This Agreement between Challenge Mfg. Company, LLC (hereinafter "Challenge") and the
City of Pontiac (hereinafter the "City"L is for the purpose of fulfllling the requirements of
s~c:tlon 22 of Public /\ct 198 of 1974, as Emwnded, MCL 207,572. In considcr<ltion of the City's

new facllity (the 11 Faclllty"L and recognizing that both parties would benefit from this proposed
economic development project, Challenge and the City agree to the following:
1. Annually, at a mutually agreed upon reasonable date and time1 inspectors from the

during which the industrial facility tax Is being lawfully imposed on the Facility and two
years after completion of construction, the Facility maintains fewer than two hundred
fifty new jobs due to circumstances within Challenge;s control1 then within six months of
the end of that calendar year1 the City may seek compensation from Challenge if a

Re:
1FT appficntion- General Motors
The City of Pontiac received nn application for an Ind~Jsh·ial Facilities Tax Exemption Ce1iificate
(IFT) from General Motors, LLC on August 28, 2014 for new construction at 220 E. Columbia (aka
170 Beverly). The total investment will be $32 million, represented as $1.7 million for site work,
rondways, and parking and $30.3 million for a new press bay ilddition. Constmction commencement
is slated to begin in January 2015 and end by December 31, 2016. The property is presently owned
by General Motors. Fifteen new jobs at this facility are expected to be created within two years of
completion, with an average hourly wage of$36.72, resulting in an estimated $5,728.32 in Pontiac
income tax collections. The amount of years requested for exemption is 12 years plus three for
construction.
City administration is recommending 12 years for the exemption ph1s two years for construction.
The property tax would be calculated as follows:
The Act states that the tax computation for new facility real propeliy is determined by
multiplying the Taxable Value (TV) ofthe facility by~ of the tot11l mills other than the State
Education Tax (SET) mills levied as ad valorem taxes for that year by all of the taxing units
where the property is located plus the total SET mills, unless receiving a I 00% or 50%
abatement from the State Treasurer under MCL 207.564a.
On August 14,2014, the Pontiac City Council legally established/amended the Industrial
Development District, which had originally been established on June 28, 1977. The TAB confirmed
establishment/amendment on August 26, 2014.
Under MCL 207.555, before acting on the application, the City Council must hold a public hearing
on the application and give public notice to the applicant, the assessor, a representative of the affected
taxing units, and the general public. I am recommending that at least 14-days notice be given for the
referenced public hearing (law is silent for this hearing, but requires a 14-day minimum to establish
the district).
MCL 207.556 states that the legislative body, not more than 60 days Rfter receipt of the upplfcation
by the clerk, shall by resolution eithe.r npprove or disRpprovc the application. The application must
be forwarded to the State Tax Commission by October 31. I have attached il draft resolution for
consider<~tion by the City Council.
1
September 8, 2014
Something to consider: the applkation must be completed aud received by the Stale Tax
Commission by October 31, 2014, meaning TAB approval would be required on October 22,
2014. The deadline to submlt action items to the TAB for consideration on their October 22
agenda is October 10.
I have attached a copy of the State's Frequently Asked Questions.

This Agreement between General Motors, LLC (hereinafter "GM"} and the City of Pontiac
(hereinafter the "City''), is for the purpose offulfifling the requirements of section 22 of Publlc
Act 198 of 1974, as amended, MCL 207.572. In consideration of the City's investment by
upprovl11!5 GM's /\ppllcCJtlon for lndustrlnl Facilities Exemption Certificate (the "Application''),
which GM filed with the City on or about August 27,2014, and in consideration ofGM's
investing approximately $32,000,000 within the City for a proposed new factllty (the "Fac!llty'')
at an existing stamping plant, and recognizing that both parties would benefi.t from this
proposed economlc development project, GM and the City agree to the following:
1. Annually, at a mutually agreed upon reasonable date and time, inspectors from the
City's Building & Safety Department and Fire Department may meet with the Facility's
manager to Inspect the Facility and verify that any construction or maintenance
performed in the Facility has been done with proper permits and in conform.ance with
applicable codes. There will be no charges for these inspections:
2. For all of GM's locations In the City, GM shall make a good faith effort to direct its
contractors to the City's website or City Hall office to secure City business license and
income tax forms or related information sheets that the City provides.
3. If after GM has commenced operations at the Facility, there is a calendar year during
which the industrial facility tax is being lawfully imposed on the Facillty and two years
after completion of construction, the Facility maintains fewer than fifteen new jobs due
to circumstances within GM 1s control, then within six months of the end of that
calendar year, the City may seek compensation from GM if a majority of the City Council
votes to do so after holding a hearing at which GM has an opportunity to be heard. The
amount of the compensation shall not exceed the amount derived by multiplying the .
thr~e numbers described below:

For illustration purposes, if in the year 2021, the above numbers are that the Facility's
taxable value is $10 million, the Facility has resulted In the creation of only three jobs,
the City's 2021 summer and winter millage (i.e., excluding millage from other
governmental units) total 20 mills (i.e., 2%) and the TIFA millage rate is 4 mills (i.e., .4%);

Re:
Solid waste collection fee
Section 94-51 of the Code of Ordinances requires the City to charge a fee to property owners who
receive solid waste collection service fi·om the City. Each year at this time, the Finance Director
evaluates the health of the sanitation fund. As of June 30, 2014, the sanitation fund had a $1,406,904
(unaudited) unassigned fund balance, which represents 34.6% of the budgeted expenditures of
$4,063,882 for fiscal year 2014-15, At a minimum, the Silnitation fund should have an unassigned
fund balance no less than 15% of expenditures, which is $609,582. The Finance Director is
recommending that the unassigned fund balance should remain at the same level. In the 2014-15
budget, the City anticipates receiving $1,515,351 as revenue fi:om the fee. Last year, the City
charged $1 13.45. At that rate, the City would collect $2,024,481 in revenue. Mr. Nazarko believes
that the City can properly charge $93.00 this year and maintain an adequate fund bale1nce (see
attached analysis). J concur with his calc\ilation nnd recommendation.
(Please note, since the fee's inception three yenrs ago, the amount is trending lower, from $141.59 to
$113.45 to a proposed $93. 00.)
In order for the fee to be added to the December tax roll, Council action is requested by October 9,
2014 in consideration of the October 22 TAB meeting.
If your Honorable Body concurs, Council is requested to adopt the following resolution:
Whereas, Section 94-51 of the Code of Ordinances requires the City to charge afee to those
property owners tl~at receive sanitation service through the City; and,
Whereas, the Finance Director has analyzed the budget and with the concurrence of the City
Administrator has recommended that such fee be $93.00; anc/,
Whereas, Section 94-56 of the Code of Ordinances authorizes the City Council by resolution
to make changes to the fee;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Pontiac City Council establishes the solid waste
disposal fee of$93.00 to be charged against each residential unit generating refuse and using
the solid waste collection sen• ices provided by the City during the 2014-15 fiscal year.

Re:
Spread of drain assessments
Admini:;lralm~fiJL
I have attached an invoice from the Water Resource Commissioner's office dated September 22,
2014 in the amount of$36,383.29. The invoice of$36,383.29 inch1des $6,941.41 that could be
assessed to property owners that border the related drains and lakes. The fund balance in the City's.
Drain Fund would be sufficient lo cover the entire amount of the invoice, but the $6,941.41 should be
assessed to the property owners th<lt benefit f\·om the tn<lintenance as was done in 2013. There <Ire
approximately 3, 180 parcels that would be assessed a charge ranging from a low of three cents to a
high of$337.64, with the average assessment being $13.62 per parcel. The 53-page assessment list is
available in PDF format fi·om the City Clerk.
A decision is requested by October 9,2014 since the TAB will be required to approve the
resohlfion, nnd the t"x roll is going to be Jll'cpnl'Ccl before the November TAB meeting. lf
Council agrees that the property <lSsessments should be 'spread to the tax rolls, then the following
resolution would be in order:
Whereas, the Water Resources Commissioner has notified the City ofproperty assessments
for nearly 3, I80 parcels in the City ofPontiac that specifically benefited the property owner;
and,
Whereas, the properly assessments rangeji·om a low of three cents to a high of$337.64, with
an average assessment of$13.62 per parcel,· and,
Whereas, the Pontiac City Council believes that inihe best inlerest of the City, property
owners who receive a direct benefit fi'om the drain should pay for the benefit;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Pontiac City Council directs that the City Treasurer
spread $6,941.41 ofproperty assessment on the 2014 winter tax rolls as directed by the Water
Resources Commissioner.

Regarding:
Test America Contract
Collier Road Landfill
MDEQ Mandated Testing
Dear City Council:
The City of Pontiac Department of Public Works, General Services Divlsion, advertised,
bid and signed a contract with Test America in July of 2007 for mandated testing and
sampling serv'1ces at the Collier Road Landf111. This contract was for five years, expiring
on June 30 of 2012.
The testing services provided by Test America are mandated by the Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) due to the Landfill permit with the State.
This testing consists of sampling and testing the following:
Q
Lower Aquifer Monitoring Wells- 9 Locations
~ Upper Aquifer Monitoring Wells- 8 Locations
4}
Observation Wells- 14 Locations
0
Surface Water- 2 Location·
" Combined Upper Leachate Collection System and Subsurface Drain~1 Location ·
s
Upper Leachate Collection System- 1 Location
.a Gas Monitoring- 49 Locations
All the testing required is on a quarterly or semi-annual basis based on MDEQ rules.
The annual expenditure for this work is $107,354.00 based on the last year of the
contract. The cost for this testing and sampling is an annual cost that is paid for out of
the Sanitation Fund and is something that may continue perpetually as mandated by the
MDEQ.
Due to the fact that current the staff has multiple duties, and none who are currently at
the City initiated this contra~t. we were unaware of the expiration date. There is .
47450 Woodward Avenue, Pontiac, Michigan 48342
Telephone: (248) 758-3600 FAX: (248) 758-3750
currently a payment due in the amount of $17,561.60 due to Test America for required
testing. We respectfully request that City Council approve payment of this invoice.
For upcoming required testing, we will be using our engineering consultant, Tucker,
Young, Jackson and Tull, Inc., to handle any testing needs through sub-contracting until
such time as we can prepare a contract and bid out the work.
Please contact me at 248-758-3615 or via email at [email protected] with any
questions or concerns regarding this matter.
Hespectfully,

Re:
postage machine
At the end of September, the City Clerk was notified by the vendor that the City's lease agreement
with Pitney Bowes Global Financial Services for the postage machine was expiring on September 30.
City Council was advised of this development. The administration had no knowledge of this lease
agreement since an office secretary authorized the lease agreement on behalf of the City four years
ago.
The proposal being presented to the City to consider is a 48-month agreement at $382.82 per month
($18,375.36 length of the capital lease), which represents a reduction of $100.18 per month from the
now expired agreement ($4,808.64 total savings).
The pricing is made available through the State of Michigan MI-Deal program, which satisfies the
City's purchasing ordinance. Despite conformance with the purchasing ordinance, the City Clerk
investigated options with two other vendors, FP Mailing Solutions and Neopost. The results of her
investigation are outlined in her memorandum in which she recommends that the City enter into the
attached four-year agreement with Pitney Bowes.
The Clerk has prepared a resolution that can be found on the last page of the packet should City
Council agree to the proposed agreement.
Action taken by October 10 will assure that the agreement is placed before the TAB meeting on
October 22.

Re:
Pitney Bowes Postage Machine
The City of Pontiac currently has an agreement with Pitney Bowes Global Financial Services for the Postage
Machine (A MIDeal Vendor). The original agreement with Pitney Bowes was signed on July 20, 2010 and ended on
September 30, 2014. The lease for the Pitney Bowes Machine has currently expired. We are currently out of
contract with Pitney Bowes for the mailing machine. The postage machine is very crucial to the day to day
operations of the city as it is utilized by all city departments.
A representative from Pitney Bowes contacted the city in late September informing the City that the agreement was
set to expire. Furthermore, Pitney Bowes has presented the City an option to lease a new machine the PB Connect+
2000 Series that is customized to the City's needs for postage. The new proposed agreement includes, a new
postage machlne, delivered and set up at no additional charge, equipment maintenance and soft-guard subscription
which provides postal and carrier updates. Moreover, the monthly payment proposed in the new agreement is
$382.82 for 48 months; a total of$18375.36 for a 4 year period. This is a $100.18 savings from the previous
agreement that was executed between the City and Pitney Bowes.
The City has researched two other companies in regards to our postage needs; those companies were FP Mailing
Solutions, and Neopost. The upfront cost for both companies was significantly higher, than if we extended our
business relationship with Pitney Bowes. With FP Mailing Solutions the City would incur an additional upfront cost
of $1098.57 and for Neopost the monthly payments for a 4 year agreement were $102. 87 higher than the rate
proposed for Pitney Bowes based on comparable postage machines.
Based on the research conducted, I am recommending the City administration sign a new agreement with Pitney
Bowes for a new postage machine over a 4 year period.
Furthetmore, if the City administration agrees, I am requesting this item be sent to the Honorable Council and the
following resolution be presented.
11Page
Whereas, Pitney Bowes Global Financial Services has presented a proposal agreement to the City of Pontiac for
postage services;
Whereas, the proposal is based upon the State of Michigan MiDeal pricing program;
Whereas, the proposal identifies a monthly savings of$ 100.18;
Whereas, the City Adminis1Tator has reviewed the proposed agreement and has recommended the new agreement be
accepted;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the City Council approves the Pitney Bowes Global Financial Services new
leasing agreement.

Interests/ Reasons I Qualifications:
I am extremely passionate about being a part of the positive momentum that is underway in Pontiac.
rvJy belief is the level of integrity in our City needs to be simultaneously raised and embraced as a
realistic expectation for our community. As a long-time resident, I feel I have a responsibility to help
make a difference. It is a fallacy to think that "someone else" is going to suddenly show up and "fix"
everything. Rather, those who are going to make the needed corrections and improvements are
people just like myself. .. the ones who are trying be good neighbors, while going through their day.
Understanding that we are all responsible for where we live, and how we are each the face and the
fabric of our community is a core belief of mine, and an important attribute which I would bring to
the Planning Commission.
Boards/Commissions/Committees on which I have served:
Pontiac Master Plan Steering Committee, from March 2014 to present
District 2 Advisory Group, co-chair,
from January 2014 to present
Elective offices I have held:
None
Other organizations, Pertinent Education, Hobbies/Interests
I have been a licensed real estate agent since 1987 (27 years, and a broker for 10 years), practicing
my profession on a full time basis the entire time. I have acquired an expansive (mental) database
of information, as it pertains to construction and materials used in residential, and sometimes,
commercial applications. While serving on the Planning Commission, I will be able to readily access
this acquired information while making the important decisions presented to the City by various
petitioners.
Also, I have been in virtually every community in Oakland County, as well as scores in Wayne,
Macomb, Livingston & Washtenaw Counties. The "real time" experiences of transacting real estate in
these communities affords me the opportunity to see how the various neighboring municipalities
function on a daily basis, as well as with an overall longer view.
I am a member of the Pontiac Women's Round Table, focusing on positive interaction and change in
the City of Pontiac.
Interests are expansive- food (cooking & enjoying), running, biking, interacting with people, art,
reading, writing, music of all types, travel, volunteering, photography, independent films, baseball,
trying to learn something about everything, being a good person that makes a small difference every
day if possible.
To be asked to be a Planning Commissioner is an honor beyond my greatest dreams. If confirmed, I
will do all I can to help move Pontiac forward and in a direction the residents can all be proud of.
