OLD BUSINESS

Highland

Bob Hanvey presented a letter from Shea Charles that seems to state that the 425 agreement is a

done deal. Mr. Hanvey said it didn’t sound that way at the board meeting and he has not received any

written information from anyone that the agreement has been finalized.  Mr. Hanvey said the lawsuit

with Highland  is still very much alive. The plaintiff has recently hired three new attorneys and they are

stepping up attempts through various courts. The tax tribunal recently issued an order that all the

tribunal activities will be held in abeyance until the circuit court’s judgment from Judge Latrielle can be

resolved at the appellate level. However, the order giving the abeyance was issued about the same

time that Highland  filed a pre-trial brief for the tribunal restating the old stuff, but adding a new item,

which is a request to amend their previous appraisal based on the fact that they are now going to be

annexed into the city. Dan Lowe made the following resolution:

Whereas, Marion Township and the City of Howell entered into a contract for conditional transfer of

property on January 19, 1987, under the authority of Public Act 425 of 1984; and

Whereas, that agreement provided for the Township to consent in advance to the transfer of parcels of

land within Marion Township north of Interstate 96 (I-96) Highway; and

Whereas, that agreement was based upon an understanding that providing municipal water and/or

sewer to that area would further the economic well-being of both the City and the Township; and

Whereas, that agreement provided that the only feasible way to provide sewer and/or water services to this area was

through a cooperative contract between the Township and the City; and

Whereas, the purpose for entering into that contract for conditional transfer of property was because

Marion Township lacked the ability to provide municipal sewer and/or water to that area at the time of

the contract; and

Whereas, Marion Township and the City of Howell subsequently entered into a separate agreement

whereby Marion Township is able to purchase and provide municipal sewer to areas of Marion Township

including the area covered by the agreement that provided for the conditional transfer of property; and

Whereas, Marion Township also has the ability to provide municipal water in the Township as well as

within the area covered by the contract for the conditional transfer of property; and

Whereas, Marion Township cooperated with the City of Howell that allowed the City to be able to obtain

property that would provide the “loop road” to Lucy Road; and

Whereas, Marion Township has cooperated with the owners of the “Darakjian Property” to assist them

in their efforts to develop their property located within Marion Township and north of I-96; and

Whereas, Marion Township is being sued by the Highland Howell Development Property involving,

among other things, the assessment of water and sewer services to that property; and

Whereas,   Marion  Township  is able and capable of providing municipal sewer and water to these

properties; and

 Whereas, the City of   Howell  has agreed to accept the above-referenced properties commonly

referred to as the “Darakjian Property” and the “Highland Howell Property”

Now, therefore, be it resolved:

1.    Marion Township Board hereby notifies the City of  Howell of its disappointment with the

decision of the City of   Howell  to accept said properties under the January 19, 1987 contract

because:

a.   Such transfer is not in accordance with the spirit of the January 19, 1987 contract because of the

      Township’s ability to provide municipal sewer and water to the subject properties;

b.  Marion Township  has already assessed the properties for municipal sewer and water services;

c.  Marion  Township  is being sued by the Highland Howell property owner involving, among other things,

 the water and sewer assessments with no provision for any resolution of that litigation;

d. The transfer of those properties represents a significant loss of tax revenue, as well as other revenues,

 for which the Township will not be adequately compensated;

e. The issue of outstanding sewer and water assessments owed to the Township for these properties is

unresolved. Resolution seconded by Sue Lingle.  Discussion: Sue Lingle said one of her big concerns

is the outstanding REUs on that property and how that will be handled. The township has a lien against

that property. Roll call vote:  Dave Hamann, Sue Lingle, Bob Hanvey, Tammy Beal, Dan Lowe—all yes.

Resolution passed 5-0.

Coon Lake Special Assessment

Bob Hanvey provided a brief updated on this item. The property owners of the 21 parcels on the canal

held at meeting and it was decided to go forward with the testing of the material in the canal area.

The owners would provide the funding for the testing and first-level design.  The company has done the

testing and they are awaiting the results.

Peavy Force Main

Bills are in the packets from Advance and SBG, and the engineer has reviewed the SBG invoice.

There are also bills coming from the City of Howell for the work they did and from OHM.

Dan Lowe motioned to approve the bill from Advance Underground Inspections for $5,564.

Sue Lingle seconded. Roll call vote: Dan Lowe, Tammy Beal, Bob Hanvey, Sue Lingle,

Dave Hamann—all yes. Motion carried 5-0.

Sue Lingle motioned to approve the revised invoice 04-0078 in the amount of $21,517.82 submitted

by SBG Construction. Dave Hamann seconded. Roll call vote: Sue Lingle, Tammy Beal,

Dave Hamann, Dan Lowe, Bob Hanvey- all yes. Motion Carried 5-0.

Peavy/Keddle/Sexton Petition

A petition was filed by approximately 50 residents requesting that gravel trains be restricted from

these roads. Mr. Hanvey called the Livingston County Road Commission (LCRC) and in order to

impose a restriction, the township would have to pass an ordinance that would restrict the traffic.

Tyrone Township has this type of ordinance, although they have not been very successful in enforcing

the ordinance. Dan Lowe has talked with the drivers of the gravel trains and they briefly changed

their routes. Mr. Lowe talked with them again and hopefully, they will comply. Mr. Lowe asked the

operators of the gravel pit, who were in the audience, if they could discourage the drivers from taking

the back route over to D-19, and try to encourage them to take Norton Road . Joe Ricardi said most

of them are local deliveries, but he will do his best to keep them on main roads.

Northern Materials (TT&G) Site

Mr. Hanvey indicated the township has received a preliminary site plan that was reviewed at

the last board meeting and given tentative approval. Since that time, the township received a

review from the engineer and an estimate of the restoration amount. There is a lot of activity

taking place that’s not yet solidified.

Tom Kizer: Mr. Kizer is representing the Mansons in this matter, one of whom is an adjacent

property owner. The other is a resident of the township. They have several concerns. It

appears the township has a gravel pit operator who wants to mine this pit. The township has

an ordinance that is designed to protect all of the citizens from dangerous situations. Even if

the township’s ordinance allows this operation to continue, there is clear law that they do not

have a right to expand it by going beyond whatever boundary the gravel pit had when it was

first operated without complying with the ordinance that’s designed to protect all of the citizens.

What the township is getting from the Trierweiler estate, which apparently has no assets, and

from a gravel pit operator who doesn’t even own the property and who wants to get as much

gravel out of there, and as long as the township delays things and doesn’t take action against

them, they’ll keep mining it, because they’re in it for the economics. Mr. Kizer suggests that

when they are all done, they’re not going to reclaim that property; they’re going to walk away.

The township won’t have a bond, nothing sufficient to protect the citizens adjacent to the pit.

In addition, right now the township has an operation going on and it’s going to be sued by

somebody. Apparently, there have been threats made by the operators or by the Trierweiler

estate or somebody, that if the township takes action to limit what they’re doing and to comply

with the township’s ordinance, that they’re going to sue the township for damages. If somebody

falls into that pit, or other damages, the township will be sued there too. If the township allows

and permits this operation, knowing there is a deed restriction, so that the Mansons’ property

is subjected to a violation of this restriction, the township will be sued for the damages it

allowed to happen to them. The easy way out is to tell the operators the township will take

action unless the following occurs: the operator clears up the deed restriction and the township

enforces the ordinance. Mr. Kizer is urging the township not to approve anything and to take

action under the ordinance through the township attorney or through an expert that is hired.

That may eliminate the need for action.

Call to the Public

Glen Caverly, Northern Materials: Mr. Caverly asked what Mr. Kizer means by “expanding the pit.”

Mr. Hanvey said that’s a question for the attorneys to work out. Mr. Hanvey made a recommendation

that the board table this issue and allow the attorneys to work on it.

Brian Manson, 2950 Sanitorium: Mr. Manson asked what the township will do if the operator walks

away? Mr. Hanvey said the township doesn’t have a plan for that right now.

John Manson, 3048 Jewell: Mr. Manson said we’ve been at this since July and he’s asked questions

of the township’s attorney, who never got back with him. But since the township’s been at this since

July, why isn’t there a plan? Mr. Hanvey said for the scenario Brian Manson presented, the township

doesn’t have a plan. For the scenario that suggests that the plan presented by the operators is feasible

and that the engineers have reviewed, that the township will attempt to proceed with and get

Mr. Kizer’s problems resolved is the plan. Mr. Manson said again that his concern is that the operator

won’t finish. If the operator came in with enough money to solve the problem, he wouldn’t object.

Dan Lowe said there has been some talk that once the operator takes out the 200,000 yards, if they

can’t go on to the 10 acres, there’s some ways to put retaining walls in and still make it work out with

the grades. Mr. Manson asked if the township has looked at the plan that was presented. Mr. Hanvey

said yes. Mr. Manson asked if it’s a feasible print? Mr. Hanvey said it seems viable so far.

Mr. Manson asked if the setbacks were measured, etc, and what if they walk. Mr. Lowe said the

township has been furnished with a bond for $40,000, and that needs to be worked out. The engineer

estimated $149,000. Mr. Manson asked if that amount is adequate.

Phil Westmoreland, OHM: Mr. Westmoreland said in his opinion as a licensed Professional

Engineer in the State of Michigan , yes. Mr. Westmoreland said they did actual quantity takeoffs;

they didn’t pull the number out of the air. They took the plans, did the quantity takeoffs, compared it

to real-life numbers that are typically bid on not only municipal projects, but private projects, of this

nature and type. There are some assumptions that there is enough topsoil on the site to restore it,

and that the quantity of dirt on the adjacent property can legally be used. If that were not used, then this

estimate wouldn’t fix it.

John Manson: Mr. Manson asked if the $149,000 falls short and the township has that in bond money,

would the township back it up? If Mr. Westmoreland is going to put his name on it and says it can be

fixed for $149,000 and it costs $500,000, will the township back it up? Does OHM have insurance?

Paul Damon, 2992 Jewell: Mr. Damon asked Mr. Hanvey if he’s measured at the site and are they

150 feet from the lot line? Mr. Hanvey said they are not, they are approximately 75 feet. John Manson

asked Mr. Hanvey if it was safe. Mr. Hanvey said he chose not to walk to the edge. Mr. Manson asked

if someone falls off of that, does that make the township liable? Mr. Hanvey said it’s a private piece

of property and it’s the same as if someone fell in Mr. Manson’s backyard. Mr. Damon asked if the

township is going to stop them. Mr. Hanvey said not today.

Dan Lowe asked to clarify a couple of items with Mr. Damon. Mr. Lowe stated he has not hauled

anything out of the gravel pit, although he could if he wanted to. Mr. Lowe said if he hears any more

rumors to the effect that he’s hauling out of there and getting some kind of deal cut, then Mr. Damon will

be hearing from Mr. Lowe’s attorney.

Dave Hamann motioned to table this agenda item until the attorneys can get together. Sue Lingle

seconded. Motion carried 5-0.

Rainbow Final Billing

Mike Arens said a final payment is being requested by Rainbow Construction, which has been

presented to the Livingston County Board of Public Works without action by the Marion Township Board.

Mr. Arens said basically, the county doesn’t have sufficient funds to pay off this final pay request. One of

the reasons the resolution was written is because there are insufficient funds in the county bond funds to

handle this. Any final payment of this amount would have to come from the township. Regarding the

issue in the change order, Mr. Hanvey and Mr. Lowe have explained to the county board concerns the

township has with the quality of work that was done, problems with items that may have not been done

by the contractor, some alleged concerns about the lack of oversight by the engineer on the project.

Mr. Arens shares those concerns. The nub of the issue is that the township officials authorized the work

at the time, and the township engineers approved it. The concern the County Board has is that they

have no standing to withstand a lawsuit on the part of the contractor if they elect to sue the county. If the

township fails to come through on this, the county would have to borrow internal funds in order to pay off

the final pay request. Those funds would have to be borrowed on the condition that they would be

reimbursed through proceeds of a lawsuit. Specifically, Mr. Arens is concerned about where this

might be headed as a technical and legal matter if this request for approval of the final pay estimate

and the forwarding of the funds isn’t taken care of.

Mr. Hanvey said he’s looked at the minutes of the November 4 DPW board meeting and he doesn’t see

the resolution in the minutes. The minutes indicate everything was deferred until January 6. Mr. Hanvey

asked when the resolution was done. Brian Jonckheere said it was done at the DPW meeting; it should

be in the minutes. Mr. Arens said this item was discussed after Mr. Hanvey left the meeting. Mr. Hanvey

said in his opinion, if the township can find a way to pay the money without having to go through the

process of saying it approved the change order for landscaping at about $2,300, he would be willing to

do that. Mr. Jonckheere said it is his intent to make sure this doesn’t move down the wrong path;

nobody wins in that case. Sue Lingle said she would go along with that. Mr. Jonckheere said he would

attempt to negotiate. Dan Lowe said at the very least, they should drop off the $2,311.96.

Mr. Jonckheere will talk with Rainbow.

Sue Lingle motioned to approve payment per the request of the Livingston County Board of Public Works

of $17,074.84, less the amount of $2,311.96 unless authorized by legal counsel. Dave Hamann

seconded. Roll call vote: Dan Lowe, Dave Hamann, Sue Lingle, Tammy Beal, Bob Hanvey—all yes.

Motion carried 5-0.

Lucy Road

Mr. Hanvey said the township has been working with the property to get this situation resolved. They

have a land balancing permit from the township and a restoration permit from the Drain Commission.

Instead, they decided to mine sand. They took out more sand than they should have, and they decided

to bring in some clay. They decided that the land-balancing permit that called for an elevation of 906

wasn’t appropriate. Mark Hathaway has visited the site and said as far as the erosion and

sedimentation, they’re doing okay. The township is concerned about the stabilization of the banks

and the irregular slopes on the south side. The property owner has ignored two stop work orders from

the township and ignored the judge’s temporary restraining order and kept on cutting down trees, etc.

Brian Jonckheere asked Mr. Hanvey if he has seen the activity that’s being reporting out there.

Mr. Hanvey said yes, he has seen activity coming in and going out. He also had a DEQ violation.

He did take down trees after the restraining order was in place. Ken Recker said he believes they

have a bond and will check with Mark Hathaway.

NEW BUSINESS

Marion 3 Drain

Ken Recker said he approached the board in September regarding this drain. At that time, it was

decided to hold off. He now has a better idea of what the school’s doing with discharge. A portion will

go into Livingston 20 at the corner of Wright Road and D-19, and a portion will go to Marion 3, which

discharges to the south under Davis Road and meets back up with Livingston 20. The school has

taken the information provided and restricted the discharge substantially.

Bob Hanvey read the following resolution:

Whereas, the Livingston County Drain Commissioner has advised the Marion Township Board of

Trustees that pursuant to Section 196 of the Michigan Drain Code, MCL 280.196 MSA 11.1196, an

inspection has been made of the Marion No. 3 drain and, as a result of the inspection, it has been

determined that certain maintenance must be performed upon the drain; and

Whereas, the Livingston County Drain Commissioner has authority to expend $2,500 per mile any one

year for the interim maintenance of the drain, and where it is estimated that the expenditures in excess

of $2,500 per miles are necessary, those amounts may not be expended until approved by resolution

of the governing body of each township, city or village affected by more than 20% of the cost; and

Whereas, the Livingston County Drain Commissioner has advised the Marion Township Board of

Trustees that it will be necessary to expend funds in excess of $2,500 per mile for the interim

maintenance of the Marion No. 3 drain, and that the Township of Marion is affected by more than 20%

of the cost; and

Whereas, the Livingston County Drain Commissioner estimates that the cost for the maintenance of

the Marion No. 3 drain will be approximately $12,100, which constitutes $7,100 in excess of the

authorized $2,500 per mile.

Now, therefore, it is hereby resolved by the Marion Township Board of Trustees that pursuant to

Section 196 of the Drain Code, the Livingston County Drain Commissioner is authorized to expend

money for the maintenance and repair of Marion No. 3 drain in excess of $2,500 per mile, and to the

extent that the drain fund for the drain contains insufficient funds for the payment of costs incurred for

the interim maintenance and repair to the drain, then the Livingston County Drain Commissioner is

authorized to levy a special assessment as allowed by law.

Mr. Recker provided the board with a map of the assessment district. The district roughly constitutes

500 to 600 acres. Sue Lingle asked how many people would be involved? Mr. Jonckheere said

about 25. A public hearing will be held next fall to levy the assessments. Ms. Lingle asked the time

period for the special assessment. Mr. Recker said over one or two years, but wouldn’t suggest more

than two years. Ms. Lingle asked if the school would be involved. Mr. Jonckheere said schools, by

law, are exempt from special assessments. Mr. Recker said they could approach the school.

The Drain Commissioner approached the school on a separate drain a few years ago, and the

implication at the time was “please don’t come back and see us in the next couple years.”

Dan Lowe moved to approve the resolution as read. Tammy Beal seconded. Roll call vote:

Dave Hamann, Bob Hanvey, Sue Lingle, Tammy Beal, Dan Lowe—all yes. Resolution passed 5-0.

Crossroads Apostolic Church

Mr. Hanvey said the   Crossroads  Church  is present for site plan approval for a daycare center.

Mr. Hamann said also a Special Use Permit.  Information, including a drawing, is included in the

board packets. Keith Richards, representing the church, was present for the meeting. Mr. Hamann

summarized the Planning Commission’s action on this item.  Mr. Richards asked to have the date on

the paperwork changed from January 9, 2005 to February 1, 2005.  Dave Hamann motioned to

approve the site plan reviewed by the Planning Commission for the Crossroads  Apostolic Church

at 144 Schroeder Park Drive. Sue Lingle seconded.  Motion carried 5-0.  Dave Hamann motioned to

approve the Special Use Permit based on the conditions for special use to be signed by Mr. Richards,

Ms Cook and Ms. Beal, and to amend the date to February 1, 2005.  Sue Lingle seconded.

Motion carried 5-0.

Text Amendments

Dave Hamann gave a summary of this agenda item. Section 7.10—Schedule of Regulations, needs

Emerald Ash Borer

Mr. Hanvey provided an update on this agenda item.  Local municipalities will have the option of

participating in this program.

Carlisle/Wortman Contract

A review letter from the township attorney was included with the packets. Mr. Kehoe suggested that

the termination period be changed to 30 days. Dave Hamann motioned to approve the

Carlisle/Wortman contract as amended. Sue Lingle seconded. Motion carried 5-0.

Sewer Rates Study

Mr. Hanvey said the sewer rate study indicates that the township is in serious trouble with the amount

of money being charged for sewers. The current contract with the City of Howell states the township

has to charge the same rate the city charges. In July, the city raised the rate by three cents. Based on

the maintenance charges from the City of Howell , etc., the rates should be raised to about $5.30.

The township is waiting for a letter of understanding from the city. Dave Hamann motioned to table

this item. Dan Lowe seconded. Motion carried 5-0.

OHM Maps Approval

A proposal from OHM for zoning map administration is included in the packets. Dan Lowe motioned

to table this item. Dave Hamann seconded. Motion carried 5-0.

Parks and Recreation (Partnerships for Change)

A resolution prepared by the City of Howell is included in the packets for the board members to review.

Ms. Lingle said this would be a more professional way of looking at what we have now, what we need,

the overviews of locations, defining where the growth is going at this point of time, etc. The grant is

between $35,000-45,000. Mr. Hanvey said he would like to see the grant application. Mr. Hamann

recommended the attorney review Dave Hamann motioned to table this item for more information from

the City of Howell . Dan Lowe seconded. Motion carried 5-0.

closing on both Thursdays, and pay the staff for working on the Mondays after the holidays.

Sue Lingle motioned to approve the holiday hours as stated. Tammy Beal seconded.

Motion carried 5-0.
