covered by rules, directives, procedures and laws. Our mission statement and core values should
assist us in doing the right thing in these unclear or uncharted circumstances. The mission and
core values should help us maintain the Tecumseh Police Department as an exemplary
organization which truly serves the community and an organization we are proud to be members
of.
PERSONNEL
2015 brought another round of significant changes to the make-up of the department. The
department regretfully accepted the retirement of a long-time member. In addition to that
retirement the department hired two new officers and promoted one of our current officers to the
rank of Sergeant.
In February of 2015, Officer Bill Warner retired from the department after serving for over 28
years. Bill worked in numerous capacities during his tenure with the department including as a
Patrol Sergeant for over 5 years. Additionally Bill served as a Field Training Officer, Arson
Investigator, Bike Patrol Officer, Crime Scene Technician, and Narcotics Investigator. During
his time with the department Bill received numerous awards, and commendations including
lifesaving awards, and Departmental Citations. Bill’s vast knowledge and experience will be
impossible to replace. We wish Bill the best as he has taken a new position with the Raisin
Township Police Department.
Also in February of 2015 the department hired Officer Adam Ondrovick. Adam is a 1999
graduate of Tecumseh High School. Prior to being hired by Tecumseh PD, Adam worked with
the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office as a corrections officer for seven years and a road patrol
deputy for over two years. Adam brings experience as a field training officer, and drug
interdiction investigator. Adam also brings experience as a firefighter as he has been a member
of the Tecumseh Fire Department since 2000. Adam is a life-long resident of the City.
In May of 2015, Officer Brett Coker was promoted to the rank of sergeant. Brett filled an open
sergeant position that was created when the department moved to 12 hour shifts. The promotion
allows for a sergeant to be assigned to each one of the four platoons on the 12 hour shift. Brett
brings supervisory experience from the Huron Township Police Department where he was a
patrol sergeant from 2009-2012.
Finally in August of 2015, Officer Brian Meloche was hired by the department. Brian is a
graduate of the December 2014 Washtenaw Community College Police Academy. While Brian
brings no law enforcement experience, he is no stranger to public safety. Brian was a
firefighter/sergeant with the Hamburg Township Fire Department for over 10 years. Brian has
successfully completed his field training phase and is currently assigned to solo patrol on the
night shift.
MILITARY SERVICE
Sergeant Chad Rodgers retired in 2015 as a Staff Sergeant within the Army reserves. Chad has
served with the reserves since 2011. In addition to his reserve time, Chad served with the United
States Marine Corp.
I would like to recognize the following veterans of our US Armed Forces for their years of
service.
Sergeant Jeff Wright-US Army
Officer Kelley Hissong-US Army Reserves
Dispatcher Kristen Smith- US Navy
The Tecumseh Police Department thanks the above mentioned personnel for their sacrifices
while serving. The Tecumseh Police Department is extremely proud of our veterans as well as
all those who have served, or are serving in our Nation’s Armed Forces.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The Tecumseh Police Department remains committed to being involved in the community it
serves. In 2015 the Department provided traffic assistance and road closures for several
community events including:








Memorial Day Parade and activities
Christmas Parade
Homecoming Parade
Pet Parade
Breast cancer awareness walk
Kelly Carter Scholarship Run
Acres Fun Run
Truck Parade of Lights
The Department also continues to supply officers for home football games, school dances, and
foot patrol for the Appleumpkin festival. The department provides traffic control for numerous
motorcycle fund raising rides and also funeral processions if requested.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Car Seat Checks
The Tecumseh Police Department continues to offer free child car seat installation. TPD has the
only officer certified as a Child Passenger Safety Technician in Lenawee County. The
technicians receive certification and training through the National Safe Kids Coalition. In 2015
Twenty-three (23) seats were removed from service and replaced with new seats that are paid for
through a State of Michigan-Office of Highway Safety Planning grant.
Bike Helmets
Tecumseh Police offers bike helmets at cost to kids of all ages. We try on several different sizes
of helmets until a perfect fit is obtained. Kids can have their choice of several different colors.
Gun Locks
The Tecumseh Police Department continues to offer gun locks free of charge at the Department.
Members of the Community simply need to stop at the front desk of the department during
business hours and request the locks.
Drug drop Off Box
The department continues to offer citizens a place to drop unused or unwanted medications.
Medications can be brought to the department between 8AM and midnight for drop off. It is
requested that the medications be brought in their original containers for drop off. No liquids or
needles will be accepted. Simply stop at the front desk prior to dropping off your medication.
Other Programs
TPD also participates in several other community outreach programs including: Job Shadow
through the high school; Payback for Education, coordinated through the middle school;
Community Walk for the grade schools sponsored by Community in Schools Tecumseh Area; as
well as numerous other presentations for grade schools, day care centers and church groups and
community groups.
SPECIAL PROJECTS FOR 2015
Pistol UpgradesIn May of 2015 the department upgraded its duty pistols. The department purchased new SigSauer P-320 .40 caliber pistols that officers carry as their primary service weapon. Officers were
allowed the option to purchase their old Sig-Sauer P-229 .40 caliber weapons that were
approximately eight (8) years old. All of the old weapons were purchased by the officers
allowing the department to purchase the new weapons for a total of less than $650.00. The new
weapons were immediately placed into service and qualified on. The firearms training cadre has
received nothing but positive feedback about the new pistols.
Shotgun UpgradesIn September of 2015 the department upgraded its shotguns. Five (5) new 12 gauge Mossberg
Mag-pul tactical editions were purchased to be placed into our patrol units. The new shotguns
replace a combination of 12 gauge Remington 870 shotguns and 12 gauge Mossberg 500
shotguns. The old shotguns had been in service for approximately 18 years. The purchase of the
new shotguns allows for a singular shotgun system which functions the same. The old
Remington and Mossberg shotguns had different systems for applying the safety on the weapons.
Similar to the new pistols, the shotguns were immediately put into service after the department
members qualified with them. The firearms training cadre again has gotten very positive
feedback about the new shotguns.
ALICE TrainingIn July of 2014, a member of the Tecumseh High School administration and the Tecumseh
Police Chief met to review security measures within the Tecumseh School District buildings. As
a result of those discussions, the Tecumseh Police Department, in conjunction with the
Tecumseh Public Schools System, agreed to look at ways to enhance their current security
measures. After some research the Tecumseh Police Department and Tecumseh School District
agreed to implement the ALICE training programs. ALICE is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown,
Inform, Challenge and Evacuate. The system is predicated on giving students and staff more
options than a traditional lock-down in a school violence scenario. In January of 2015 the
majority of Tecumseh Public Schools staff was instructed on the ALICE system. Since that time
Tecumseh Public Schools have drilled on the ALICE system on numerous occasions.
Throughout 2015 additional school staff was trained so now all current staff in the Tecumseh
Public School System have been instructed on the ALICE program. Tecumseh High School was
the first in the county to fully implement the ALICE system protocol.
Due to the highly successful pilot program in Tecumseh, every school in Lenawee County has
committed to transitioning to the ALICE program. Other law enforcement and school staff have
been trained throughout 2015. It is anticipated that every employee in a school system within
Lenawee County will be trained in the ALICE program in the very near future.
Beards for BreadIn November the Tecumseh Police Department participated in the third annual Beards for Bread
fundraiser. In addition to the Tecumseh Police Department, the Adrian City Police Department,
the Raisin Township Police Department, the Madison Township Police Department, the City of
Morenci Police Department, the City of Hudson Police Department, the Clinton Village Police
Department, Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office, Lenawee County Prosecutor’s Office and the
Armour Knight Security Company agreed to relax regulations in place governing the grooming
of facial hair. Members of each agency were allowed to make a donation to the Daily Bread of
Lenawee County or God’s Bread Basket in Tecumseh. In return for their donation members
were allowed to grow beards or goatees for the month of November. Female officers were
allowed to have nail polish for the month and non-sworn civilian staffs of the police departments
were allowed to wear jeans on the weekends if they wanted to donate to the cause. The
fundraiser this year netted over $3000 for the charities. This year was the first year for Raisin
Township, Madison Township, Morenci, and Hudson Police Departments. It is our hope that
next year even more agencies participate as this fundraiser continues to grow.
Policy Manual UpdateIn 2015 a massive overhaul of the department’s policy and procedure manual was started. The
goal is to have the overhaul completed in 2016. Every policy will be reviewed and then revised
if necessary. After a review, the policies will be placed into an electronic format and then be
linked to allow for quick and easy access and review by department staff. The current manual is
placed in a three ring binder which does not allow for cross-referencing when looking at policies
that may overlap.
SPECIAL OPERATION UNITS
Bike Patrol Unit
This unit is utilized for special events, and also for routine patrol activities. The department
currently has four (4) members assigned to the bike patrol unit.
Accident Investigation Unit
Tecumseh PD currently has three members working with the Lenawee County Accident
Investigation Team. The accident investigation team is made up of officers from Adrian PD, the
Sheriff’s Department, and Tecumseh PD. In order to be involved with the team, officers must
complete Accident Investigation I, and Accident Investigation II, which each consist of a 40 hour
training course dealing with the concepts of crash investigations. Tecumseh Officers have gone
above and beyond the standard 80 hours of training, and continue to gain field experience by
working with this team. Whenever a fatal, or serious injury accident occurs two or three
members of this team are dispatched to the scene to handle the technical aspects of the
investigation. The investigation team includes Sergeant Chad Rodgers, Officer Tom Gilbert, and
Chief Troy Stern.
Evidence Technicians
Five (5) TPD officers who have received specialized training in evidence collection. These
officers are called to duty whenever a case merits the use of this specialized type of training.
Officer Paul Wolf, Officer Tom Gilbert, Sergeant BJ Horn, Officer Tim Ryan, and Sergeant
Chad Rodgers make up the evidence technicians team.
TRAINING
Tecumseh continues to be a member of the Southern Michigan Criminal Justice Training
Consortium which was formed in 2003. The consortium continues utilizing the County of
Jackson for the training coordinator. The City of Jackson once provided the coordinator, and
fiduciary, but now provides only the fiduciary.
During 2015 the consortium again applied for and received a grant to provide pursuit drive
training to member departments. These are competitive grants agencies apply for as part of the
40 per cent funds of Act 302 training money. Competition for these grants is very high. In 2015
the training consisted of night pursuit driving in which over 120 local officers were trained. MIS
again agreed to be the host site of this training. This is excellent training provided at very little
cost due to the grant.
In 2015 officers from our agency received training provided by the consortium including legal
updates, defensive tactics, first aid, Taser training, pursuit driving and scenario based firearms
training.
The consortium continues to be a proven way to deliver cost effective training to a large number
of officers. The training is both beneficial, and state mandated.
Additionally officers from the department were sent to non-consortium training including but not
limited to the following schools:

Non-Destructive Entry for Law Enforcement

Defensive Tactics Instructor-Recertification

Police Productivity System

Performance and Accountability

MANLOW Police Supervision

Sig-Sauer Armorer’s certification course

Field Training Officer School

2015 Traffic Safety Summit
INVESTIGATIONS
January
On January 4th, 2015 at approximately 2:20AM a Tecumseh Officer was dispatched to assist the
Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office on reported gunshots in the area of Ford Highway and Tangent
Road. LCSO deputies were dispatched to the scene earlier that morning and while arriving to
investigate the complaint heard several more gunshots in the area. Additional units were
requested by LCSO deputies. While waiting for additional units to arrive more gunshots were
heard and rounds could be heard passing within feet of the investigating deputies. Once
additional officers arrived on scene, contact was made at a Ford Highway address. Officers
located two individuals in a garage who were in possession of a semi-automatic rifle. It was
determined that the individual was not shooting at officers but shooting the rifle without a proper
backstop. Following the investigation one subject was taken into custody for reckless use of a
firearm and possession of a firearm while intoxicated.
Also in late January a traffic stop at 3PM resulted in the two occupants of the vehicle being
arrested on numerous charges. In total seven officers had to be called to the scene to control the
two individuals who were actively resisting the initial responding officers. The driver of the
vehicle was eventually arrested and charged with operating while intoxicated 2nd offense, and
assaulting, resisting or obstructing police officers. The passenger of the vehicle was arrested and
charged with assaulting, resisting or obstructing police officers.
February
In early February the department was contacted by Midwest Energy Company in regards to theft
of electrical service. A Midwest Energy employee made contact with the officer at a residence
on Occidental Highway. The Midwest employee showed the investigating officer that the power
meter had been removed and “jumpers” were placed on the lines to bypass the electrical meter.
March
A suspicious person call in March resulted in information being turned over to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation about an individual portraying himself to be an FBI agent. Officers were
dispatched to a residence in the city to make contact with a juvenile complainant. The juvenile
told officers a young male in his early teens arrived at his residence in a black sports utility
vehicle and identified himself as a government agent. When the juvenile started to ask questions
the male subject became nervous and quickly left the residence. A description of the vehicle was
given to officers and upon investigation the vehicle was determined to be a “metro car” which is
a rental service in which a driver and car is provided to transport individuals. The driver of the
“metro car” was contacted by our investigating officer and it was learned that the suspicious
male subject was still with the driver. The driver indicated that they were currently at the
Westland mall where the teen was inside shopping. Westland Police were contacted and the
individual was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant out of Washtenaw County. It was
determined the subject was a juvenile and he was attempting to contact someone he had met on a
social media website here in the Tecumseh area. He was impersonating a federal agent to try and
locate the individual. The information was turned over to the FBI for a follow-up investigation.
April
A traffic stop for a possible intoxicated driver resulted in a large amount of marijuana and cash
being seized from the driver. A be on the look-out for a possible intoxicated driver was
broadcast to Tecumseh Patrol Officers. Officers located and made contact with the vehicle in
question as it pulled into a driveway. Upon making contact with the driver he became very
nervous. Officers also noted the very strong odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle. A
search of the vehicle resulted in over a pound of marijuana, packaging material, digital weighing
scales and over $2300 in cash were located. The mentioned items were seized as evidence of
distribution of marijuana and the individual was turned over to the RHINO narcotics team for
further investigation.
May
Officers responded the scene of a construction site accident at the new O’Riley’s Auto Parts
store on W. Chicago Blvd. Upon arriving officers learned that a subject operating an excavator
struck a telephone pole causing it to break and fall on a vehicle parked in the adjacent
McDonald’s parking lot. In addition to the pole falling and damaging the vehicle a power line
was brought down that landed upon a vehicle in the McDonald’s drive-thru line. The occupant of
the vehicle was trapped inside the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes until Consumer’s
Energy arrived on scene and de-energized the power line on the vehicle. The occupant of the
vehicle was then able to exit the vehicle without injury.
June
On June 27th 2015, Tecumseh Police was dispatched to the Wizard’s firework tent at 808 W.
Chicago Blvd to take a report of larceny of fireworks. An officer made contact with an
employee of the fireworks company that advised he was sleeping in the tent overnight to safe
guard the inventory. The employee advised he was awoken at about 2:30AM by the sounds of
someone in the tent. He recognized one of the individuals and called the subject’s name.
Several individuals took off running at that time. The employee gave the investigating officer
the name of the subject he recognized and the officer followed up from there. It was learned
through the investigation that a juvenile male took his father’s truck without permission. He then
picked up three other juvenile males and drove to the fireworks tent. The juvenile who drove
stayed in the truck while the other three entered the tent and stole fireworks. In all a total of over
$2700 in fireworks were taken. All four (4) juveniles were charged, and processed through the
juvenile court system.
July
In early July a civil dispute over property led to a female subject being charged with two (2)
counts of felonious assault. The incident started near M-50 and Occidental Hwy when a male
and female were out for a motorcycle ride. While on the ride a pick-up truck started to follow
the motorcycle at one point coming inches from the rear tire. The motorcycle stopped and
identified the female driver of the truck as someone that they had a previous civil disagreement
with. The occupants of the motorcycle were done talking about the subject so they pulled away.
The driver of the truck wanted to continue the discussion so she started to chase the motorcycle
through the streets of Tecumseh coming within inches of striking it on numerous occasions based
on witness accounts. Numerous 911 calls came in regarding the incident and Tecumseh Officers
were dispatched. The incident came to an end when the motorcycle pulled into a private drive on
Nokomis Street. Officers arrived a short time later and investigated the incident. After a review
of the report by the Lenawee County prosecutor’s office the female was charged with felonious
assault.
Also in July a Tecumseh officer was dispatched to Tecumseh High School to investigate an
inappropriate relationship between a Tecumseh High School teacher, and a Tecumseh High
school student. The teacher was eventually arrested as a result of the investigation and is
currently lodged at the Lenawee County jail awaiting further court proceedings.
August
In mid-August Tecumseh Officers assisted the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office and the Clinton
Village Police Department with a vehicle pursuit that was nearing the City of Tecumseh. While
officers attempted to stop the pursuit before it entered the city, the suspect intentionally rammed
a Tecumseh patrol unit numerous times causing extensive damage to the vehicle. Officers were
unsuccessful in stopping the pursuit before it entered the city. Units pursued the suspect in the
city for a very short time before the suspect turned around and headed north out of the city. A
short distance outside of the city the suspect entered a field where patrol units were able to
successfully disable the suspect’s vehicle and put an end to the pursuit. Neither the officers nor
the suspect were injured during the pursuit. The suspect was taken into custody and lodged at
the Lenawee County Jail, for felonious assault on a police officer and fleeing and eluding police.
September
In the early morning hours of September 3rd, a home invasion was reported to the department. A
female resident was investigating noises in her house found a window screen cut and a box style
fan removed from the window. Officers responded to the scene and were not able to locate
anyone in the house. According to the victims, the only thing that appeared to be taken was
alcohol. Officers then processed the scene for evidence and were able to obtain footwear
evidence and possible latent fingerprints. After a very detailed investigation, officers were able
to develop a suspect in the case.
While investigating this complaint the individual was also identified as a suspect in the larceny
of a gold bracelet from another residence in the city.
Eventually arrest warrants were issued for the subject on the home invasion case. After some
time of evading law enforcements attempts to arrest him, the subject was located and taken into
custody. The subject has since pled guilty to both the home invasion and the larceny of the gold
bracelet.
October
In October, Tecumseh Officers were dispatched to a commercial business in the industrial park
to take a report of a burglary. Officers responded and were met by representatives of the
company. They showed officers surveillance video of two subjects who had entered the business
after hours and had taken various items throughout the business. Officers processed various
areas of the business the subjects were in and were able to obtain some latent fingerprints, and
evidence the suspects left behind. After a lengthy investigation two suspects were developed and
interviewed. Both subjects have since been charged with the break in and are currently awaiting
further court proceedings.
November
Tecumseh Police and Fire departments were dispatched to the scene of a plane crash on Evans
Street just north of Macon Highway in early November. Officers arrived to find a plane had
crashed into trees and powerlines on the west side of Evans Street. Both occupants of the plane
were out walking around when officers first arrived. Medical responded to check the occupants
out, but both refused any treatment at the scene. Statements from the pilot indicate he was
attempting to land the plane at the Meyers airport when he hit ruts on the runway. He attempted
to take back off but for some reason lost lift in the plane and ended up striking the trees and
powerlines. The FAA sent investigators to the scene and they completed their on-scene
investigation in short order. The Tecumseh Fire Department assisted with scene protection as
the plane was removed from the trees and wires. The plane was then transported back to the
airport where a follow up investigation was conducted by the FAA.
December
A Christmas night traffic assist turned into a handgun being recovered, and a subject being
arrested for an outstanding armed robbery warrant from the Toledo Ohio Police Department.
While patrolling on Christmas night a Tecumseh Officer observed a vehicle with its hazard lights
on parked in the travel portion of M-50 near Maiden Lane. The officer observed two male
subjects out of the car near the trunk area. When the officer approached the subjects quickly shut
the trunk and re-entered the car. The officer approached and spoke with the occupants. The
driver indicated to the officer that he had a flat tire and just needed to get the car to the gas
station. The officer while speaking with the occupants noticed an open alcohol bottle in the car.
None of the subjects claimed to have knowledge of the alcohol bottle. Further investigation
revealed the vehicle was a rental car and that none of the individuals were from the area. When
questioned as to where they were going all the occupants could say was to a residence on
Occidental Highway in the city. Based on the open container of alcohol a search of the vehicle
was conducted to see if more alcohol was present. No other alcohol was located but marijuana
and a small handgun were located. The handgun was found to be loaded. A check of the
individuals found that one of the subjects was giving false identification. Once his true identity
was discovered, it was learned that he had a warrant for armed robbery involving a firearm out of
Toledo PD. This subject was lodged at the Lenawee County Jail for the warrant. One of the
other occupants of the vehicle was arrested for the possession of marijuana. The gun was seized,
and was later turned over to the ATF for an investigation they were conducting.
STATISTICS
2015 saw an increase in the overall workload for the department. A total of 7410 complaints
were taken by the staff. This is an increase of 13% over the total of 6536 complaints taken in
2014.
Breaking the complaints down even further showed a 13% decrease in misdemeanor complaints,
a 19% decrease in felony complaints, and a 20% increase in non-criminal complaints over the
numbers of 2014.
Arrests in 2015 showed an increase of almost 32%. Misdemeanor arrests were up 31%, felony
arrests were up 43%, and civil arrests were up 11% from the 2014 numbers.
Suspended driving arrests had a major increase in 2015 going from 56 in 2014, to 73 this year.
Additionally other traffic misdemeanor arrests increased from 52 in 2014, to 97 in 2015. Drunk
driving arrests increased this year from 47 in 2014, to 53 this year. Total traffic arrests are up by
70 total arrests over 2014 numbers.
Total traffic stops for 2015 went up significantly from 2332 in 2014, to 3000 in 2015, or a 22%
increase. Total traffic citations are also up from 948 in 2014, to 1006 in 2015 or a 6% increase.
Total accidents for the year are down showing an 11% decrease. The total number for the year
was 279 versus 314 in 2014. Personal injury crashes were down 17%, hit-and-run accidents
were down 20%, and private property crashes were down 10% over the 2014 numbers. 2015
will mark the 30th straight year without a traffic fatality within the City of Tecumseh.
TRENDS
While complaint numbers increased by 874, and non-criminal offenses increased by 1041 in
2015, much of that can be explained by an increased effort in traffic enforcement. As mentioned
above, in 2014 the department initiated 2332 traffic stops. These traffic stops are considered
non-criminal offenses and categorized as such within this report. By contrast in 2015 the
department initiated 3000 traffic stops or an increase of 668 in complaint numbers and noncriminal offense numbers for 2015. While it may appear as if the complaint load was much
heavier in total calls for service and in non-criminal offenses in 2015 much of that is attributed to
the increase in traffic enforcement.
Traffic enforcement also contributed to higher arrest totals for 2015. 70 more arrests were
generated off from traffic stops in 2015 versus 2014 numbers. Those additional 70 arrests help
explain the increase in total arrests for 2015.
The primary goal of traffic enforcement is to curb preventable traffic crashes. With the increase
in traffic enforcement in 2015 the total crashes reported in the city were down by 35 crashes over
2014 numbers. Again as mentioned above all categories of crashes documented in this report
were down over 2014 numbers.

Budget Work Session- March 14
The City Departments are preparing presentations for City Council for the planned Budget Work Session next Monday,
March 14 at 6:30 PM. I will start with an overview, and then each of the department heads will have an opportunity to
discuss the highlights within their specific department. We will conclude the work session with a discussion of how to
address the challenges we face in the coming fiscal year. Based on City Council’s direction, I will prepare a FY 2016-17
Recommended Budget that will be provided to City Council in your April 18 agenda packets. Final adjustments will then
be made with a planned public hearing and adoption at the May 2 City Council meeting.
DPW- Planning For 2016 Road Construction
The Department of Public Works is actively planning the road construction work for the 2016 construction season.
Attached to this report you will find a map showing those streets which will be milled and resurfaced this year. These
projects will be funded with the voter approved street improvement millage. In addition to these streets, the City was
also successful in receiving State of Michigan grant funds to resurface, portions of Maumee Street (E. Chicago to Water
Street), N. Evans Street (Chicago Blvd. to Water Street Bridge), and Burt Street (N. Evans Street to City Limits). The
success of the City in obtaining this additional funding is a testament to the hard work of Mr. Tim Bock and others within
the Department.
Economic Development/DDA- Downtown Art Trail
A committee of individuals met on Thursday, March 3rd to review sculpture selections for the 9th annual Art
Trail Tecumseh exhibit. This committee is comprised of artists and community members who reviewed
hundreds of submissions to choose approximately ten new sculptures for the exhibit in downtown Tecumseh.
The recommendations are to be discussed at the March 10th Downtown Development Authority Board
meeting. This program, as you know, is made possible through a grant from the Michigan Council for Arts &
Cultural Affairs (MCACA) and the generosity of the Sage Foundation.
Economic Development- CCDT Rental Rehabilitation Grant
City staff has been working with representatives from the Collaborative Community Development Team from
the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (formerly MSHDA) on pre-application materials for a future
Rental Rehabilitation grant for funding to develop two new units on the second floor of one downtown
building. Once all the pre-application materials have been submitted, staff will request, via Council, the City
make a formal application for the funding. With housing needs and preferences changing, it is critical that the
City is active in promoting the development of housing options like downtown loft apartments. This will
become a more significant part of the City’s on-going economic development strategy as we strive to offer the
amenities that people are seeking when choosing where they want to live and work.
Parks and Recreation
CLS Director, Shelley Lim, attended the Michigan Recreation and Parks Association annual conference in Grand Traverse
on February 16 and 17. Workshops and breakout sessions were educational and informative, especially the following:

All Conference Think Tank Session: Driving to Desired Outcomes in Challenging Times
Over 650 Parks and Recreation professionals attended the four day conference, plenty of networking opportunities and
a great forum for exchanging ideas. Next year’s annual conference will be held in Grand Rapids.
Tecumseh Center for the Arts
On Saturday, March 19, at 7:30 pm the TCA is proud to welcome Humming House to the theater. A harmonious quintet,
ready to light up the stage with the sounds of 21 Century Nashville: Music City’s folk, soul and bluegrass featuring

CITY OF TECUMSEH
CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
FEBRUARY 15, 2016
COUNCIL CHAMBERS
6:45 P.M.
Mayor Baker called the meeting to order.
Roll call was taken as follows:
Present: Mayor Baker, Council members Fox, Harmon, Keiser, Naugle, Philo, and Wimple.
Absent: None.
Also Present: City Manager Dan Swallow and City Clerk Jessica Emrick.
Motion Naugle and seconded Harmon, to accept the February 15, 2016 Study Session agenda.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Baker explained that the study session was being held to discuss the preliminary Fiscal Year
2016-2017 Budget Review.
City Manager Swallow gave a brief overview of the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Budget. He explained
that the budget is broken down into several funds, and wants to focus mainly on the General Fund
which is the most flexible, but also has the most demands. The budget also focuses on maintaining a
healthy Fund Balance, which should be in the range of 25% of the annual budget. The Fund Balance
is made up of Reserve Funds, Designated Funds and Undesignated Funds. General Fund covers
revenues and expenses from General/Administrative, Cemetery, Parks and Recreation, Police
Department, Emergency Services, and Public Works.
Manager Swallow provided Council members with a chart of the General Fund’s revenues and
expenditures for 2014-15 which shows that most revenue is generated by property taxes, while the
largest expenditures come from the Police Department.
Fiscal year 2016-17 projects a flat or slight decrease in revenue due to several factors including the
Headlee Amendment & Proposal A which will restrict the City’s ability to raise taxable value (2016:
0.3%), personal property tax coming off the tax roll (state will reimburse based on essential services,
but no exact amount has been given), increase in property tax appeals, anticipated incentives for new
development, and limited increases in state shared revenue.
Projected expenses will continue to increase at 2% a year due several factors including pay and
contractual increases, increased insurance costs, deferred Capital Improvements projects, Police
overtime, and fire truck payments.
Manager Swallow presented several possible options to maintain fund balance including revenue
enhancements (sustains current level of service) and additional expenditure cuts. Examples of
revenue enhancement include new fees for service (ex: Trash Collection) and requesting a Headlee
override from voters. In regards to additional expenditure cuts, Manager Swallow suggested
reviewing all non-essential services, noting that logical cuts have already been made.
Mayor Baker noted that trash collection has already been thoroughly discussed and extensively
research, and was not something that he would be able to support.

Purchase of New Freightliner Truck for Department
of Public Works for General Maintenance and Snow
Plowing
Tecumseh City Manager
Summary:
The current fleet of large box trucks that the Department of Public Works utilizes for a variety of maintenance
tasks is aging and due to increasing maintenance cost, replacement of the oldest truck is now warranted. The
proposed purchase of a 2017 Freightliner Model 114 SO chassis and equipment, would replace the current
1999 GMC Dump Truck. The current truck is over 17 years old has experienced a number significant
maintenance issues that make it no-longer cost effective to repair. The old truck will be auctioned off to
capture any residual value.
The purchase of this new truck will be made from the Equipment Maintenance Fund (Fund 661). The
Equipment Maintenance Fund is a pooled fund that receives revenue form various City funds including the
General Fund, Major Streets Fund, and Local Streets Fund. By pooling funds in the Equipment Maintenance
Fund, the City can purchase expensive equipment utilizing a number of funding sources. The equipment
purchased from the Fund may also be used for a variety of purposes, such as Streets-specific tasks like material
hauling and snow plowing, as well as General Fund activities like Parks maintenance.
Attached to this Agenda Review Form are two purchase requests, the first purchase request is for the truck
chassis ($109,672.00), and the second request is for the truck box, hydraulics and belly blade ($46,994.00); for
a total cost of$156,666.00. This amount was budgeted in the current fiscal year (Line Item:
661-932.000-997.400, New Equipment Purchases), but will likely need to be pushed into FY 2016-17, as
delivery of the truck is not expected until July or August. The truck manufacturer requires an earnest deposit
of $1 ,000.00; which will be sent upon approval of this purchase by City Council.
