City Council President Robinson and Lansing City Council Mem bers10th Floor City HallLansing, MI 48933Dear President Robinson and Council Members:The Lansing City Charter requires that the question of a general revision of the Charterbe placed before the voters this November. I have prepared the attached resolution foryour consideration.You will notice that the resolution calls for the election of a Charter Commission at thesame election. The Home Rule City Act (HRCA) requires that if the revision proposal isadopted, a Charter Commission must be elected within 60 days. This would beimpossible, as the first opportunity under current Michigan Election Law would be theend of February 2012. The HRCA does permit the Council by a 3/5 vote (5 CouncilMembers) to hold the elections simultaneously. If the Charter revision question fails, theelection of the Charter Com mission would be void.I look forward to discussing this with you.Sincerely,

Chris SwopeLansing City ClerkMay 12, 2011City Council President Robinson and Memb ers of the Lansing City Council10th Floor City HallLansing, MI 48933

Dear President Robinson and Members of Council:I have previously recommended an amendmen t to the Lansing City Charter requirementthat the City Council must meet weekly at least 50 times a year. Other major cities inMichigan (with the exception of Detroit) require meetings only twice a month. Each of thosecities is able to perform its required responsibilities in the time allotted in their city charters.The City of Lansing would significantly save money from its budget in security, utility, andpayroll expenses if our City Charter w as more in line with cites that me et twice monthly. Inthese tough economic times, it is fiscally responsible to seek as many ways as possible tosave the taxpayers money.The process to amend the Charter is controlled by the Michigan Ho me R ule City Act, PA279 of 1909, and can be initiated by a 3/5 vote of Council (5 members). I have drafted theattached resolution for your consideration.Sincerely,

The first meeting has been held with Pubic Service to discussnaturalization, which is basically not mowing certain areas of parks. Public Service came up with some parks andsuggestions.Jemerson stated he informed Public Service he. wanted to discuss this proposal with the Park Board and the parksinvolved. One thing missing from the Public Service list of parks is the element of community involvement and someof the parks Public Service mentioned are not connected with the community, however others are. For exampleBeck Park; Beck Park is located between Northrup and Miller Streets and has two areas. The south end hasplayground equipment, benches, and a lot of activity. Public Service suggested mowing the south end where theequipment is and letting the north end go "natural", however there is a BeCk Park Friends Group. Jemerson statedhe is not in favor of letting this park go "natural" because the friends group has plans for both sides of Beck Park.Another example was Ingham Park which has a wood lot area and it has been mowed under the trees for sometime. Jemerson stated this park has a neighborhood group and this park has been mowed for a certain reason.Public Service also suggested Davis Park, which has two sides and a drive between the two sides. It wasdiscussed to stop mowing in the middle, which is questionable. Again there is a Friends of Davis Park group andthe South Lansing Community Development Association (SLCDA). The SLCDA has created a master plan forDavis Park, which did not include naturalization of the park.Jemerson stated the first meeting was held on Monday, April 11 to review the suggested parks. One example of anaturalized park is Washington Park where the ash trees were removed. He will be sending the Park Board

LansingPark Board Minutes - April 13, 2011 PageVirginia Crump suggested using a large 580 mower and not weed whip to eliminate time and one staff person. Alsinvolve residents who back up to a park to mow an area behind each house.Kibbey stated we need to involve groups such as Rails to Trails. He also asked why it is never on the agenda torepurpose Waverly and Red Cedar Golf Courses.OLD BUSINESS

FY12 BudgetJemerson stated last evening, April 12, was the first City Council public hearing regarding the budget. Thedepartments reporting were Public Services, Parks and Recreation, Human Resources, 54 th District Court, Mayor'soffice, Planning and Neighborhood Development and Finance Department. Thursday evening's hearing will be CitClerk, City Attorney, Human Relations Community Services, Economic Development, Police, Fire, LEPFA andCommunity Media.Jemerson stated there was a Park Board sub-committee meeting on March 23, 2011 to provide a preview of thebudget he presented at last evenings meeting. The Parks Department has several divisions, which are referred toas cost centers in the budget. These divisions consist of the following: Administrative Division which includes theadministrative support; Forestry, Grounds and Landscape; Pools and Athletic Field Services; Leisure Services;Community Centers; Lifetime Sports; Special Recreation Services; Turner Dodge House; Fenner Nature Center;Kids Camp and the two enterprise funds-Golf and Cemeteries.Administration asked the department heads to show their 20% reduction from each cost center. In Administration(10 series) the change was made to the Landscape Architect position which no longer is paid out of the generalfund, but is paid out of the park millage. Administrative Support (11 series) is now included in the administrationcost center.Forestry (21 series) consists of the money provided to the city's contractor, Public Service. The change in this coscenter is stump removal will no longer be included, instead permits will issued by the City so the citizen may removthe stump. Tree trimming will be done on an as needed basis, instead of a schedule cycle. They will make suretrees are trimmed at the regulation height on sidewalks, trees interfering with wires and signs and limbs hangingover boulevards.Fancher inquired if we have considered putting out an RFP to Ingham County Parks. Jemerson stated InghamCounty does not perform tree trimming, they contract those services.Spitzley inquired if we could contract with a company for stump removal. She indicated when you normally contrawith a company or you have given someone a pot of money there is a value study done to ensure you receive themost bang for your buck. She recalls the Park Board trying to figure out some benchmarks and some actualnumbers of what the Parks Department is getting for the money being transferred to Public Service, instead ofPublic Service stating they are not going to do x, y and z when Parks is giving them money.Fancher stated Public Service is the Parks contractor and if we are not happy with the service we need to go out tobid. If Public Service is not performing for the money being received, Parks needs to look elsewhere.Jemerson inquired how important is stump removal to the board.Fancher stated it is not only stump removal; it is the overall whole package. This includes stump removal, ringsbeing mowed around the trees, the naturalization of parks, it is everything.Spitzley stated it is a symptom of a bigger problem. The board has asked questions and asked Public Service tocome back and report to the board on what is being done with the money provided, so when Public Service comesback and states they can not do the tree trimming the board will know what is being done instead. Right now theboard has no basis to make a decision and it is unfair and unreasonable to ask for a decision with no base line tobase it on.

Lansing Park Board Minutes - April 13, 2011 PageLoft stated as part of the decision making process if we are contracting out with Public Service we should have inpuin the things Public Service are doing or not doing in the parks. If Public Service is making the decision andbypassing the Parks Department and the Park Board completely we should not have the 15% reduction, the boardshould at least have the chance to provide some input on what the priorities are in the park system.Kibbey stated he asked a friend on the Public Service Board, since they are somewhat Parks Department now, isthere a policy component to inform the discussion. Are there park members on the Public Service Board, is thePark Board receiving information and where is the public in this discussion. This arrangement has not produced thresults the Park Board has asked for.Jemerson asked the board members to think about Ron's comment in terms of priorities.Jemerson continued to review the cost centers. Grounds and Landscape is another cost center (22) which wasreduced. A management agreement has been entered into with Ingham County to maintain 25 parks with 5 acres less and 15 parks along the River Trail. The River Trail is a regional asset and the county agreed to take on themaintenance of these parks for $200,000.Pools and athletic fields (24 cost center) have been reduced by proposing to close Moores Park Pool. However thdepends on the park millage, which is proposed to subsidize cemeteries and golf. If cemeteries and golf go toprivate management and the subsidizes are reduced there will be money to do the repairs to Moores Park Pool andthe utilities and staff involved in the operation of the pool.The 30 series is the administration of Leisure Services and the only change is the 10% salary reduction for theLeisure Services Manager.The 31 series now consists of both the 31 and 38 series, which is the community centers and the school enrichmenprograms.The 32 series is Lifetime Sports and now includes Kellie's salary from the 31 series. This includes adult sportleagues and youth programs consisting of soccer, flag football, softball, baseball, and floor hockey.Special Recreation is the 33 series and includes the pools, which has a reduction for the closure of Moores Pool. Ialso includes Hunter Park Pool staff, Therapeutic Recreation, Kids Camp, 4th of July Parade, Mayor's RiverwalkMother/Son & Daddy/Daughter dances, contractual services for the pools.Fancher inquired how much does it cost for the Mayor's Riverwalk and Mother/Son & Daddy/Daughter dances.Jemerson stated a lot of cost for the Mayor's walk is covered by donations.Turner Dodge (36 cost center) has had a reduction in TEA staff cost.Spitzley inquired if Ingham County would maintain Turner Park. Jemerson stated yes, the parks which are listedunder the proposed River Trail Authority are parks which are not heavily programmed or programmed at all.Fancher inquired if this is a different way to divest our park property to someone else. The list includes 15 parkswhich will be dedicated by a non-existent River Trail Authority, 6 parks taken care of by other individuals, 8 parksand undedicated park property to dispose of; which looks like 52% of the parks will be taken care of by others, giveaway or disposed of. Jemerson stated we do not have the staff we used to have and we can not maintain 114parks; we need to have a system to reduce the maintenance of 114 parks and this is an attempt to reduce themaintenance.Fancher asked if she was correct in her thought process is that we have the staff to maintain the parks, but insteadof putting our resources and staff into maintaining our park system we are taking the money and paying enterprisefunds elsewhere. It's not that we do not have the money; the city is choosing to pay for something other than theproperty we own.Spitzley stated she is not opposed to having an authority, but she wants to know why we can't do the samemanagement agreement with Turner Dodge as was done with Fenner by turning it over to the friends.

LansinqPark BoardMinutes -April 13, 2011 PageFancher disagreed and stated these are our parks, our city money has paid for them, they are for the benefit of ourcity, we need to take care of them, we need to own them and we need to make our city great with them. We havealready closed two golf courses, one has become private, we are trying to get rid of the cemeteries, we are closingone pool, we are contracting out 52% of the parks and what is next.Jemerson stated the 37 series is Fenner Nature Center. The Friends of Fenner has changed to the FennerConservancy and have changed their advisory board to an executive board. They are raising revenue to pay for thexecutive director, but the city does supply money to pay for temporary employee staff.Kibbey inquired if we are still maintaining the Fenner building and mowing for the property. Jemerson stated yes.Jemerson stated we are considering private management for golf and cemeteries. At this time one proposal hasbeen received for the cemeteries, which came from StoneMor. Jemerson stated he has reviewed the proposal, bucan not comment on it at this time. There were 6 proposals received for the management of the golf course.Kibbey stated there was discussion recently about a review committee for the proposals for golf and cemeterieswhich involved users and others with an interest in the issue and how are we going to proceed on this.Jemerson stated if we do proceed on golf, we are looking at providing a copy of all the proposals received andsending them to the National Golf Foundation, who will be paid to look at the proposals, interview the city, puttogether a scoring criteria and make a recommendation. They will provide information on all the management firmin regard to past performances. Once the recommendation is received, in accordance with the purchasing rules, ainternal group will get together to review the recommendation.Kibbey inquired who is in the internal group. Jemerson stated the group will consist of himself, Jason Crocker,Parks Golf Supervisor; Jerry Ambrose; Scott Keith, LEPFA Manager; and Doug Kelly, Director of Golf for Ann ArboKibbey stated he knows it is possible under the current purchasing rules for there to be citizen involvement in theprocess and sit on the review committee. This allows for a different set of concerns outside of internal citypersonnel and golf professionals and was a useful process in educating citizens who have other responsibilities fothe site and including additional items on the review list. It greatly enhanced the credibility of the recommendationbecause it became an open process.Jemerson inquired if the Park Board would like to have a member on the committee. Spitzley commented she founit amazing that there is not a Park Board member on the committee. Fancher commented about adding a memberfrom the Bancroft Park Friends Group.Kibbey stated he would like to have a member from the Park Board, a Lansing resident who is familiar with golfingand a Friends member.Fancher made a motion to add a Park Board member and at least two members from the public to therecommendation committee for the golf course management recommendation committee. Seconded by Spitzley.Motion carried. 5 yeas; 0 naysKibbey inquired where we stand with the cemeteries.
