517-546-3502
The Budget Work Session was opened by Mayor Proctor at 8:30 a.m.
Council Members Present: Steven Manor, Scott Niblock, Jan Lobur, Doug Heins, and

Council Members Absent: Robert Ellis & Jeff Hansen
Also Present: City Manager Shea Charles, City Clerk Jane Cartwright, Finance

Scott Mannor, Community Development Director Tim Schmitt, Assessor Gladys Niemi
(arrived at 10:25 a.m.), IT Director Mike Pitera, Cemetery Supervisor Devin LaRowe, DDA
Treasurer Kevin McCarthy
Call to the Public: No response.
Mayor Proctor reviewed rules of order previously used for an informal constructive
discussion noting that all opinions would be heard and silence is consensus. City
Manager Charles thanked Finance Director Catherine Stanislawski and her staff as well
as all department heads that developed the proposed 2015/2016 budget. Decision points
that need qualification are: millage rate, target level for General Fund fund balance,
potential projects for the 2015/2016 fiscal year, Perpetual Care fund levels, and
Equipment Pool funding.
City Manager Charles updated Council on the 2014/2015 budget reviewing the following
factors that may still affect the estimated General Fund balance of $1.484 million:
 Bennett Center Parking lot bids came in $16,000 under engineers estimate
(construction deferred until the 2015/2016 FY).
 Property Re-inventorying project deferred due to Department of Treasury audit
which has started.
 Barnard Center Roof replacement was deferred (building assessment will be
presented at the May 4th Council meeting).
 Increase in building permit revenues due to large projects; ie, Library, Livingston
County Jail & Thai Summit expansion.
 City Hall repairs.
 DiPonio lawsuit.
HOWELL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
2
April 25, 2015
2015/2016 General Fund Review:
 Tax revenue expected to grow by 4.3% or $195,000; one year increase in personal
property tax attributed to Thai Summit shifting of equipment. With personal
property tax reform, this increase is eliminated the following year and the City
will see a reduction of $55,000.
 Loss in revenue sharing over the last 10 years has been $5 million.
 If Proposal 1 on the May 5th Special Election Ballot passes, the City would see a
net gain of $89,000 in constitutional revenue sharing and it would also provide
$360,000 per year in road funding.
 Fund Balance reduction of $1,021 to $1,483,850 with the proposed General fund
budget.
 The proposed budget reflects a continuation of the wage freeze and no change in
benefits. A 6 month extension for all union contracts will be presented to City
Council at the May 4th meeting.
 Items eliminated from staff’s proposed budgets total $1,136,500.
2015/2016 Major & Local Streets:
 Winter maintenance budget reflects a typical winter.
 Local Streets includes Phase II of the Braeview Drainage repairs.
 Minimal amounts included in both Major & Local for Street Asset Management.
Garbage Fund:
 Proposed millage levy of 1.2 mills.
 General Fund transfer of $37,073 to fully cover operational costs.
Water & Sewer Funds:
 Rate studies will be presented at the May 18, 2015 meeting. Any potential rate
increases have not been included in the 2015/2016 proposal budgets.
 WWTP improvements included in the 2015/2016 budget total $613,000.
 Engineering for the Thompson Lake Dam Lift Station upgrade due to increased
development north of M-59 (construction proposed for the 2016/2017 budget).
 Report on pH balancing for the WTP will be presented at the May 4th meeting.
 Design work to replace the I-96 raw water line.
Equipment Pool:
 The City currently uses MDOT’s schedule C to charge back hourly rental rates
which doesn’t accurately account for depreciation. An annual report to MDOT is
required on the expenditure of Act 51 revenues. The City could develop their
own rental rate or charge actual expense subject to MDOT audits.
 The Equipment Pool fund balance will be reduced to $153,567 with the
2015/2016 budgeted replacements. The City will need to start allocating more
revenue into the equipment pool to finance purchases. Discussion followed on
industrial vs. commercial grade equipment, realistic life of equipment to obtain
the best trade in value, and operational needs. Fewer pieces of equipment will
reduce services.
 Increases in change back rates will increase all departmental budgets.
3
April 25, 2015
Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund:
 $75,000 was included in the 2014/2015 budget to rebuild the Field Stone
Mausoleum; $60,000 has been included in the 2015/2016 budget to rebuild the
Fishbeck Mausoleum. Staff has concerns using Perpetual Care funds for the
repairs however the safety issues need to be addressed. Discussion followed on
the option of using decorative fencing to secure the area or creating a memorial
with the family name. The purpose of the Perpetual Care Fund is for the general
care of the cemetery; the City is not responsible for the care of head stones or
other personal property that belongs to families. Cemetery Supervisor LaRowe
noted that experts in municipal cemeteries do not recommend touching anything
unless it is a safety issue. After 50 years of inactivity, the City can take back
burial rights however not personal property. Staff will provide a report on safety
issues; Council concurred not to spend funds to rebuild the mausoleums.
Mayor Proctor requested Council decide on the millage rate and fund balance percentage.
Discussion followed regarding different analogies on the appropriate percentage of fund
balance. Points made were that it was not a good practice to save tax dollars and cut
services; fund balance is for unintended expenses as well as opportunities; 15% is
recommended and dipping below that may affect borrowing ratings. Council also
discussed the sale of City property (Highland/Howell) which would repay borrowed
funds from external sources and internal funds. The general consensus was to maintain
fund balance at 20% and keep the millage rate the same.
A break was taken at 9:40 a.m. Mayor Proctor called the work session back to order at
9:55 a.m. and requested the discussion remain at the strategic level. Once the Master
Plan is in place, resources should be allocated toward the vision. Review the larger
capital expenditures as well as projects eliminated from the proposed budget noting that
he was reluctant to remove funding for the police department vacancy ($68,000), building
demolition to adhere to blight ordinances ($20,000), and assorted street projects
($211,500). It was suggested that Council continue with review of the proposed budget
before going back to the projects that were removed.
City Manager Charles suggested starting with General Fund Expenditures found on page
31 of the enhanced budget looking at projects that are included:
 Mayor & City Council – no projects.
 City Manager – no projects.
 Finance – no projects.
 Clerk & Elections – 2 elections are scheduled. It was noted that some of the
expense for the May 5, 2015 special election and the March 8, 2016 Presidential
Primary will be reimbursed by the State of Michigan.
 IT – card access to the police department.
 City Hall – irrigation & 3rd floor carpet were removed; repairs to the east wall are
not budgeted.
 City Attorney – no significant changes.
 Personnel – increase in labor attorney fees due to union negotiations.
4
April 25, 2015
 Cemeteries – Repairs to Fishbeck Mausoleum is included in projected activity as
well as $98,000 in repairs to the Cemetery Maintenance building (funded through
the Perpetual Care fund).
 Forestry/Conservation – tree trimming/removal was reduced from $30,000 to
$20,000.
 Public Works – no significant projects.
 Police Department – the school resource officer position was eliminated (HPS are
not participating in the 50% funding). Acquisition of 3 patrol rifles and $12,000
for new vests are budgeted. Police Chief Basar discussed the advantages of safety
and visual presence associated with the resource officer position; when the
position is vacant everyday situations can be handled without taking an officer off
the road. They also attend all special events and sporting activities. Discussion
followed.
 Community Development – no projects; staff is looking at redevelopment ready
community grant opportunities to fund updates to the zoning code.
 Engineering – placeholder for projects that may come up.
 Community Action Promotion – standard support of projects/special events;
contribution to the Economic Development Council; City calendar; holiday
decorations; beautification; and Recycle Livingston.
 Parks & Neighborhood – Bennett Center Parking lot split between 2 fiscal years;
removal of bleachers at Page Field. Resurfacing the track & replacement of
bleachers were removed from the budget.
 Undesignated – assorted miscellaneous costs.
 Tax Tribunal Refunds – no major cases expected.
 Transfers Out – garbage fund, local streets, and Lucy Road monitoring, etc.
Discussion followed on repairs to the cemetery building; expense to mail utility bills
($5,600 per year to mail utility bills split between water/sewer); increase in daily pass fee
to launch boats on Thompson Lake (add to future Council agenda for discussion and
invite the Recreation Director to participate); updates to the entire fee schedule; and the
option of funding repairs to the east wall of City Hall by issuing bonds instead of using
General Fund dollars.
Mayor Proctor presented the conceptual idea of issuing bonds to fund major
infrastructure improvements to include a 2 level parking structure on parking lot No. 2,
utility line burial for parking lot 4 and the alley to encourage additional investment in that
quadrant of the city, and support the major investment of the Heart of Howell project.
Discussion followed on key elements of being development ready, the DDA capture of
revenues to enhance the downtown, and the use of general tax dollars to support private
development. DDA Treasurer Kevin McCarthy requested the DDA be involved in the
discussion noting the project is very much in line with the discussions of the Board.
Mayor Proctor indicated he would roll out the project to Council and then take the
concept to the DDA board; he would like to work toward a decision in the next 6 months.
City Manager Charles reviewed changes at the state level that funded job creation grants
that the City hoped to fund some of these infrastructure improvements. Council also
expressed concern with the condition of the alley behind Heart of Howell. If Council
5
April 25, 2015
concurred to start exploring the concept in depth, staff could make some temporary
paving repairs to the alley to enhance safety. City Manager Charles also indicated the
current fiscal capacity could not handle a significant amount of additional debt load
without some changes.
Council expressed a willingness to explore filling the vacant police officer position
however wanted to hold off until after labor negotiations and to see if there was potential
interest in cooperation from the schools. Council also expressed support for the building
demolition to support the master plan and blight ordinances noting it was a one-time cost
of $20,000.
Council concurred to move forward with holding an additional budget work session on
May 6, 2015 at 6:00 p.m.
The work session adjourned at 11:30 a.m.

CITY OF HOWELL
MEMORANDUM
TO:
MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
ERVIN J. SUIDA
DATE:
APRIL 22, 2015
RE:
WALNUT TREE AT 225 PARK ST.
At the April 6th Council Meeting the resident at 225 E. Park Street came to
Council requesting further assistance with the Walnut tree(s) located within the right of
way adjacent to her property. Mayor and Council asked Staff for a report to determine if
and how they may be able to further assist the resident with this hardship. I have
included her original email and the memo to Council from October 2013 regarding
options available to address those concerns. At that time Council authorized Staff to
proceed with inoculations of the larger tree and determine if this would alleviate enough
of the problem without removing the tree.
The first treatment was done in the fall of 2013 with an additional treatment in the
spring of 2014. Both Jeremy Hertz of the Family Tree Doctor and I noticed a significant
reduction in walnuts; our estimate was in the 50% to 60% reduction range. In subsequent
discussions with Jeremy this reduction would continue to increase every year, up to
approximately an 80% total reduction. This tree is very mature and even a 50% to 60%
reduction still results in several hundred walnuts.
I recently met a forestry company Blackhaus Forestry from Fenton, Michigan to
discuss if they would be interested in the trees. At that point they performed an
evaluation and determined that there is enough “good” timber available to make the trees
profitable. They offered to remove the trees to ground level, taking all the wood except
for the canopy and paying the City $1,000.00 for both the large and small Walnut trees.
If we only want them to take the large Walnut by the driveway they would pay the City
$800.00. The small tree by itself is not profitable so if we want it removed this would be
the time to remove it. DPW crews will be responsible for removing the brush from the
canopy and stump grinding. The brush and stump grinding is estimated to cost less than
$500.00. Blackhaus Forestry LLC is licensed, insured and bonded.
I hope this report provides Council with enough information to provide staff with
direction on proceeding.

To Whom it may concern,
My name is Melissa Kendall and I live at 225 East Park Street. I am writing because I
have trees that are on City property and they cause problems. The Walnut trees have
damaged my car and I need to park there because I have a hard time walking and that is
the entrance that is fixed for me to use and its the only driveway I have. There is also a
berry tree that leaves the sidewalk just covered with berries and the wires from pole are
wrapped around it. My doctor has now declared me disabled. Is there room in your rules
for someone like me who is going through hardship and needs trees taken down?
Thank You,
Melissa Kendall

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
ERVIN SUIDA, PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR
DATE:
OCTOBER 17, 2013
RE:
225 E. PARK TREE CONCERN
Staff has been in the process of researching alternatives to address the concerns
regarding the walnut trees at 225 E. Park. These alternatives included inoculating the tree
to reduce the production of nuts and looking into logging the walnut trees for a profit to
purchase and plant different varieties of trees more conducive to an urban setting.
We received the information back on the inoculation and found that while it may
reduce the production by upwards of 80% it is not guaranteed and will require as a
minimum two initial injections, followed by subsequent injections every year. The cost
per injection is $200.00. If we were to just do the tree that overhangs the driveway the
year one cost would be $400.00 and every year after that would be $200. The potential
for additional injections may be required depending on results.
I have also spoken with several persons in the logging and milling industry
regarding the potential of selling the trees. The overwhelming response was that they do
not purchase street trees because they are layered with metal, typically nails and hooks
from hanging signs and sometimes even chains and car parts. This metal not only
damages their equipment but it ruins the veneer of the wood resulting in costly repairs
and a poor product. By using a metal detector I was able to confirm that metal is present
within the tree. Staff was able to locate a firm through our Arborist who would take the
tree down at no cost and assume the risk of dealing with any metals.
At this point staff is seeking direction on how to proceed. Options to consider
include the two mentioned above or leaving the trees as they stand.

RE:
225 E. PARK TREE CONCERN
Last year the resident at 225 E. Park St. came to Council concerning mature
Walnut and Berry trees that overhang her property. The specific concern was the tree
that hangs over the driveway and house. Staff’s recommendation at that time was to trim
the tree back to limit the amount of overhanging branches and monitor it with the
resident. This work was performed last fall.
Attached is a recent email received from Ms. Kendall requesting further action be
taken regarding two trees. I have included a picture showing both trees in question and
Ms. Kendall will be available for any further clarification. If removal is considered we
can include the work as part of the 2013/14 Tree Maintenance Program.

When using any driving directions or map, it's a good idea to do a reality check and make sure the road still exists,
watch out for construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions . This is only to be used as an aid in planning.

The zoning throughout much of North National Road is inconsistent with the use of the property.
The area is zoned B-2, intended for commercial use, but there are single-family homes on nearly
each of the properties. This combination makes each house non-conforming and could create
some issues should one of the homes burn down or the owners desire to expand them. The
#15-006 Rezoning – 237 North National
Page 3
request in front of the Planning Commission would eventually allow for the construction of new
single-family homes in the neighborhood. Given the current use of the property and surrounding
properties, along with the extreme difficulty in property acquisition and the fact that North
National is not a main thoroughfare, commercial development seems highly unlikely in this area.
Typically, Staff would rely on the Future Land Use map in the Master Plan for decisions of this
nature, but the Plan is being updated and this area was identified as an area to be studied in
depth. The City should strongly consider aligning the zoning with the use at this point, as the
residential properties are not likely to go away in the future.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the rezoning request (#15-006) for
237 North National Street and the vacant property surrounding it to the north, south, and east,
parcel id numbers 4717-36-402-030 and 4717-36-402-029, from B-2, General Commercial to R1, Single-Family Residential.

Barnard Center Report
April 10, 2015

FACILITY REPORT
Barnard Community Center
City of Howell, Howell Parks and Recreation Authority
March – 2015
Physical Conditions - Exterior
Exterior walls and roof structure appear to be in satisfactory condition. The normal
signs of temperature movement are present and some minor tuck pointing and sealing
of masonry is needed. The roof shows signs of leaking in the interior ceiling, most
notably in the gymnasium area, yet the roof showed no signs of fatigue on the exterior.
Roof drains were clear and open, ballast was distributed well, and no signs of shrinkage
(a common problem with EPDM ballasted roofs) were present. The age of the roof
implies that a new membrane should be considered necessary in the near future,
regardless of the visual appearance. It was noted that staff reports continued vandal
issues with roof access.
Water Collection Tub
The most serious issue noted with the exterior walls is the failure of the exterior
insulation and finish system (E.I.F.S.) in the retrofitted portion of the walls. Where the
old windows were removed and replaced with EIFS, the birds have taken haven in the
expanded polystyrene insulation. This allows moisture and temperature to penetrate
the walls and causes long term problems. These areas should be repaired with a more
durable material as soon as possible.

April 10, 2015

Masonry wall cracks were noted in the lower level of the Multi-Purpose room’s
southwest corner and the two exterior walls in the southeast lower level mechanical
room. These cracks appear to be wider at the top than the bottom, which is a sign of
foundation movement, rather than the more common and less concerning temperature
cracks. The southeast and southwest corners of the building should be stabilized with a
deep foundation or other means. The southeast corner of the upper level multipurpose
room has a crack on the exterior brick only, and indicates some movement, not
shrinkage.

April 10, 2015
Page 4
Serious foundation wall leakage was noted at the stage area, with structural
degradation of the concrete block apparent. The wall needs repair and waterproofing in
the very near future to maintain the integrity of the structure.
Most hollow metal exterior doors and frames have failed. Years of salt applications for
snow and ice control have damaged the doors beyond repair. Complete replacement is
necessary.
The exterior exit doors each have a concrete pad on the exterior. Current codes
required all of these pads to be at floor level, and at least 48” x 60” to accommodate and
exiting wheelchair. Most of the existing pads are less than this minimum size.

Physical Conditions - Interior
Interior walls and doors from the original construction period appear to be in serviceable
condition. Several changes made since the original construction include wood paneling
partitions, hollow core wood doors, foamed plastic insulated ceiling panels, and other
inappropriate materials. These elements should be removed and replaced with proper
materials. Durability, Michigan Building Code requirements and Fire Code rules all
come in to play in this regard.
There was a noted separation of wall and floor slab in the upper level multi-purpose
room on the west wall. This is of some concern, but appears to be a condition present
for many years. The ceiling to wall joint directly above this area showed similar signs of
movement. Further investigation of this area must be made prior to recommendation of
repair.
Due to the age of the facility, many doors, all plumbing fixtures, and both of the lower
levels do not comply with the Michigan Barrier Free Design requirements, nor the
Americans with Disabilities Act. Because the facility met the Codes of the period when
constructed, upgrades solely for barrier free issues are not required. Any renovation
work must comply, and once more than 50% of the structure is renovated, all of it must
comply. More importantly, a community center should serve all of the community,
including disabled and aged citizens. It is our recommendation to bring the facility up to
current accessibility codes if continued use is desired.
www.lindhout.com
810-227-5668 (fax) 810-227-5855
April 10, 2015
Page 6
All interior signage does not comply with the barrier free / ADA rules of today. Size,
location, and lack of raised text + braille text are all issues that should be address with a
renovation.
Codes have changed over the years and the existing exit stair that connects the two
floors does not comply with current codes. Any renovation work should include proper 1
hour rated enclosures with correct fire rated doors for the stair.
The ceiling in the lower level multi-purpose room shows signs of mis-use and neglect.
Upon first look, it appeared that there are multiple roof leaks, except there is not a roof
above the ceiling. Many holes exist in the original plaster, perhaps from repairs made in
the past. There is also an application of expanded polystyrene insulation board over the
plaster. Again, there is occupied space above the room, so the insulation must have
been installed for sound issues encountered by the Community Theater group.
Regardless of the need, the insulation is likely to fail flame spread and smoke
developed rating requirements for interior finishes. This should be removed and
replaced with a different material that complies with code.

Throughout the building, 9”x9” floor tile was observed. Typically, this is vinyl asbestos
floor tile and may contain asbestos. There were also signs of previous asbestos
removal on the piping system for the boiler. Typically, these efforts do not remove all
the asbestos, just that portion easily accessible. If major renovations were to occur,
there is the likelihood of additional pipe insulation remediation. Any work on the floor
would also require remediation of the 9x9 tile.
There is a serious code violation in the teen center at this time. Technically speaking,
there is only one exit out of the large gathering space. The exterior door in the movie
room is not permitted to be counted as an exit for the large room, as exiting through
adjoining spaces/rooms is not permitted in the Michigan Building Code. This may be
accepted by the Fire Inspector during annual inspections.
Generally speaking, the interior of the facility is painted concrete block. This is a very
institutional look and not consistent with many of the potential users of the community
center. Renovation work may include adding gypsum board to the walls to enhance the
appearance. Another section of this report identifies the exterior walls as lacking
insulation. Adding insulation and gypsum boards to the interior surface of the exterior
walls will improve the energy performance and appearance of those walls.
Physical Conditions – Energy Performance
Common for the era of the original construction, the existing masonry walls have little or
no insulation. The roof replacement in 1997 included adding 1 ½” of rigid insulation to
the existing 1” of insulation. Today’s energy codes require at least 4” of rigid insulation.
Adding another 1 ½” to 2” of insulation with a replacement membrane roof is in order.
www.lindhout.com
810-227-5668 (fax) 810-227-5855
April 10, 2015
Page 8
We also recommend an adhered 60 mil. EPDM roof system instead of the ballasted
EPDM roof system.
The exterior masonry walls have little or no insulation. As a minimum, we recommend
the addition of 1 ½” to 2” of rigid insulation be added to the interior surface, with a
gypsum board interior finish surface added.
As noted earlier, the EIFS installation on the exterior has failed in many places. Each
failure point is an energy leak. Replacement of the EIFS should include re-insulating
where necessary.
Code requires 90 minute battery back up lighted exit signs and egress lighting systems.
Several of the rooms lack exit signs and egress lighting, and where it is provided it is
often inefficient candescent type. Renovation should include replacing these elements.
The lighting and mechanical systems in place are energy hogs and should be replaced.
Please refer to the mechanical and electrical sections of this report for those
recommendations.
Physical Conditions - Plumbing
The building has a 2”domestic water supply with the meter located in the boiler room on the
upper level at the front of the building. This size water service is ample for most uses in this
size of building. Most of the water piping in the building except for that located in the boiler
room appears to be original to the building. The plumbing fixtures also appear to be original to
the building and will need to be replaced.

April 10, 2015

Many of the original single toilet rooms located in the old classrooms appear to have not been
used in some time and the fixtures had even been removed from some of them. Domestic hot
water for the building is being generated by a single gas fired 40 gal water heater that was
installed in 2006.
The roof drainage system is also original to the building and in working condition. There is a
sump pump located in the basement that is currently working, the cover could not be removed
to inspect the condition of the pump and interior of the pit during our site visit, the piping from
the pit has been replaced at some point since the building was built.
Physical Conditions – Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
In 1997 much of the heating system was replaced including the hot water boiler, distribution
pumps and the distribution piping located on the upper level. The current boiler is a standard
efficiency copper tube unit manufactured by Raypak. The system is piped in a
primary/secondary configuration with a single primary boiler pump and two secondary
distribution pumps, one active and one stand-by.
Heating hot water is distributed to finned tube radiation, convectors, cabinet unit heaters and
unit ventilators. Some of the unit ventilators have been replaced but all the other devices
appear to be original to the building. There was some distribution piping exposed in the lower
level ceiling that is original with the original insulation that should be checked for asbestos.
www.lindhout.com
810-227-5668 (fax) 810-227-5855
April 10, 2015
Page 10
Heating units are being controlled by an old pneumatic control system that is in need of repair
or replacement. The air compressor is very old and visually appears to be in poor condition,
the air dryer is no longer functioning so moisture has most likely entered the system and
affected many of the control components.
There are currently 3 roof exhaust fans on the roof that all appear to be in poor condition,
these fans serve the toilet rooms. A wall exhaust fan is also located in the lower level kitchen
that is in poor condition and needs to be replaced. If the kitchen is to be re used with cooking
then present day code would require a grease hood and make-up air system be installed.
Some portions of the upper level are being air conditioned with ductless split systems or
through the wall air conditioning units of various vintage from 3 years to approximately 10
years old. While these systems can condition the space they do not provide the code required
ventilation air. During the heating season the units ventilators have the capability to provide
ventilation air if they are functioning properly. To provide the required ventilation air during the
cooling season all the unit ventilators would need to be replaced with heating and cooling type
units. The building roof structure is to low to allow for a conventional ducted HVAC system.
The current single phase electrical system may also not be large enough to accommodate the
additional air conditioning load.
Physical Conditions – Electrical Service
The existing electrical service is rated 120/240-volt, single-phase, three-wire and is served
from an overhead service drop with two weatherhead attachments. The electrical service is
secondary metered with an indoor CT cabinet and utility company kilowatt-hour meter, located
in the existing Boiler Room. The CT cabinet serves two separate enclosures, a 200-amp rated
safety disconnect switch, and Panelboard “A”. Panelboard “A” is provided with a main circuit
breaker, but the rating of this device or the bus is not indicated. The existing safety switch was
manufactured by Frank Adams and Panelboard “A” is a Bulldog-Pushmatic. This dates the
www.lindhout.com

April 10, 2015
Page 11
service equipment back to the original building construction circa 1955-1956, which means the
equipment is obsolete and should be replaced. The Bulldog-Pushmatic circuit breakers are
unreliable, and may not trip under overload or short circuit conditions. The flags on the circuit
breaker that indicate status (tripped, on, off) are also known to fail and indicate false status - a
known safety issue.
Several subpanels are located throughout the building. The subpanels are as follows:
-

by the opening created by the flush mounted panelboard, and the associated
conduit and wiring.

Physical Conditions Conduit, Wiring, and Devices
In general, the existing conduit and wiring system in the building is installed haphazardly.
Several small renovations have been constructed throughout the building, resulting in a
piecemeal distribution of branch circuits. In particular, the branch circuits installed in the Teen
Center and Teen Center Computer Room (originating from Panel LP-2) are routed in
unsupported conduit systems with open and unsupported junction boxes, and with improperly
supported MC cable.

Conduit, wiring and MC cable is routed exposed through the stairwell adjacent to the Teen
Center Computer room, which may impact the rating of the stairwell enclosure, if a fire rating is
required by current building Codes.
In the existing Classrooms the conduit and wiring system is in better condition, however, some
of the surface mounted perimeter conduit systems are in need of new concrete anchor
supports to refasten them securely to the wall.
Most of the receptacle boxes are provided with steel cover plates that are in good condition.
However, several of the thermoplastic cover plates - especially switch plates - are in bad
condition, with some have openings that present a safety hazard.
There is also an air compressor installed in the Janitor’s Closet that is not provided with a local
disconnect switch as required by NEC, and the conduit serving the air compressor is not
supported.

Due to the age and condition of the conduit system, it is assumed that the existing equipment
grounding system is not adequate to meet current NEC requirements. The existing metal
condition and box system should be checked for tightness of all connections to ensure a
solidly-connected low-resistance ground path is maintained. All flexible conduits should be
checked for the presence of an equipment grounding conductor. In conclusion, significant
repairs will need to be performed to bring the existing conduit, wiring and wiring device system
into safe and code-compliant condition.
Physical Conditions - Lighting
The interior lighting system consists primarily of fluorescent lighting fixtures that utilize T12
lamps and magnetic ballasts. This technology is no longer considered energy-efficient and is
obsolete. Several lighting fixtures have damaged lens or other physical defects, especially in
the Teen Center area. Some of the existing lamps are not installed, damaged, or burned out
and some of the ballasts are not functioning. Due to the inefficient energy usage and poor
condition of the existing lighting fixtures, replacement is recommended.
There is an existing dimming control panel installed in the Multipurpose Room that was
intended to control stage lighting. It is not functioning and this system needs to be removed
completely, including all associated conduit, wiring, devices and fixtures.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The exterior lighting fixtures are building mounted, and are controlled by a time clock. There
are existing recessed squares in the front canopy that are in poor condition and should be
upgraded with a retrofit kit, or replaced. There are two HID wall packs with acrylic refractors on
the south elevation of the building that are also in poor condition, and should be replaced.
There is one newer wall pack on the east elevation that has a glass refractor and is in good
condition.
EMERGENCY AND EGRESS LIGHTING
The path of egress is fairly well identified throughout the building with a mixture of new and old
exit signage. Most of the newer exit signs are LED type and are functioning, but the older exit
signage is no longer illuminated and needs to be replaced. Additional exit signage would be
required to meet current Codes.
Emergency lighting along the path of egress is provided mainly by combination exit sign /
emergency battery units with incandescent lamp heads. The performance of the emergency
lighting system is not adequate to meet minimum lighting level requirements along the path of
egress during a power outage. Additional emergency lighting fixtures and increased battery
life would be required to meet current Codes. None of the exterior egress doors are provided
with emergency lighting on the exterior side as required by current Codes.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The existing fire alarm system is not functioning and should be removed or replaced,
depending on the Michigan Building Code requirements of the new occupancy, which is driven
by the number of occupants. (Intended future use is needed to address requirements, Senior
Center use will not require a system) The exterior doors at the south end of the Multipurpose

Page 16
Room are not provided with a fire alarm pull station within 5-feet of the doors, as required by
NFPA. The occupant notification system consists of audible horns only, visual strobes are not
provided per ADA requirements.
Physical Conditions - Site
The parking lot show signs of age and lacks the concrete curbing common in municipal
lots today. Parking lot lighting is limited to inefficient flood lights attached to the building
façade, which is not considered appropriate by today’s planners. A major reconstruction is in order.
There are some significant historical elements associated with the athletic fields, most
notably the cut marble stone identifying the “John S. Page Athletic Field” and “Class of
1942”. These elements should be preserved and made a part of any re-construction
effort.
Potential Renovations – Option One
During staff discussions, many potential uses for the facility were explored. One such
option was the conversion of the Barnard Center to Community Education and Senior
Center function. A potential senior center / community education building program was
developed with staff and a potential floor plan was produced. The program was
developed with Mr. Paul Rogers based upon his knowledge of the program needs and
functions.
The new plan responds to the program fairly well. It requires a good deal of demolition
work, the most noteworthy is the removal of the stage in the upper level multipurpose
room, and construction of many new interior partitions. The interior improvements
address all the significant items identified as needing correction in the existing
conditions report.
Also a part of Option One is the addition of new barrier free toilet rooms, a new elevator,
and a new ramp. The addition addresses the major components of the accessibility
issues noted in the existing conditions report. Centrally located barrier free toilet rooms
on each floor level, and a full service elevator are included in the addition.
The appendix of this report includes the following drawings on 11”x17” paper:

Option One would require 4 to 6 months to renovate, if the building was vacated for the entire
work period.
Potential Energy Savings
Our recent work in the areas of energy efficient renovations and additions has proven to be
quite successful. The lack of any outside air being introduced into the mechanical system at
the Barnard Center will limit our savings, as the costs of heating or cooling outside air has not
been a factor in the past. None the less, we will still see utility bill reductions with the proposed
renovations. Right now, the building is costing over $9000.00 per year in Gas and Electric
consumption charges. Our experience predicts a savings of at least 40%, resulting in yearly
savings of roughly $3,700.00.
Option 2 – Demolish and Re-Build
It is very premature to go too far with this option without a schematic plan of the potential site
and building, but rule of thumb type estimating for a 10,000 S.F. Community Center indicates
costs of roughly $1,800,000 to $2,000,000 for a concrete block and brick, wood roof framed
structure.
Comparison Discussion
We have always found that new construction offers few compromises compared to renovating
an older structure. It is likely that a new facility will function better and operate more smoothly
for the Recreation Department.
New projects also are likely to suffer from project creep – the project scope will grow as more
needs are identified. I would predict if option 2 was selected, a larger building would
eventually be constructed.
As citizens of the earth, we owe strong consideration for re-use and renovate over demolish
and replace.
The unknowns of a renovation projects disappear when a new facility is designed and
constructed. We often say that there are many skeletons in the closets of older buildings.

CITY OF HOWELL
MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
ERVIN J. SUIDA, DPS DIRECTOR
DATE:
APRIL 22, 2015
RE:
CHEMICAL FEED MODIFICATION
Mayor and Council recently authorized a feasibility study to determine if we have
the capability to convert our pH reduction system from Sulfuric Acid to CO2. This
request was driven by an incident at the Water Treatment Plant when one of its stored
Sulfuric Acid tanks ruptured causing the entire 300 gallon content to leak out. This
rupture required notification to the Pollution Emergency Alerting System (PEAS), the
Howell Area Fire Department HAZMAT Team and an environmental cleanup company.
The spill was contained and cleaned with no injury or loss to property. However, the
cleanup cost alone was over $27,000.
HRC completed their study and found that the conversion to a CO2 process is
feasible. However, the estimated cost for this conversion is higher than staff anticipated
with equipment cost alone in the $200,000 range plus installation, engineering and
contingencies making the total estimated project cost $345,000. This study is included in
the memo. To better refine the costs and provide some additional savings Staff is
recommending taking a slightly different approach. Refer to email from Jon Booth of
HRC. This approach would authorize HRC to perform a limited set of design plans that
would meet the minimum requirements of an MDEQ permit and allow us to receive
accurate equipment pricing. Staff will also use these plans to seek pricing from our
current process contractor working at the Wastewater Treatment Plant for installation
pricing.
Additional considerations, other than the cost of the equipment, are the proven
benefits of using CO2 instead of Sulfuric Acid. As stated in HRC’s Feasibility Study
Summary, Sulfuric Acid is a hazardous chemical that poses certain risks to property and
employee safety during handling and use. Additionally, CO2 is not a hazardous material
regulated under Part 5 of PA 451; it is also readily available and easy to use. The cost of
CO2 is $0.04 cheaper than Sulfuric Acid per pound and should result in a savings
between $10,000 and $12,000 annually. If we use the HRC estimate of $345,000 from
the feasibility study this would be a Return On Investment (ROI) of 28 to 34.5 years. It is
anticipated that conversion costs will be lower thus making the ROI more advantageous.
Based on the feasibility study and discussions with our engineer, Staff is
recommending proceeding with the design of converting our pH reduction from Sulfuric
Acid to CO2. Staff recommends funds come from line item 591-564-801.004,
Engineering Services. Funds have not been budgeted for this expense and a future
budget adjustment of $15,000 will be necessary within the water fund. If Council
authorizes Staff to proceed we will bring back the total project costs for approval at a
future Council meeting.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize HRC to develop the drawings necessary for the pH adjustments at the
WTP in accordance with the Engineering Contract for an amount not to exceed $15,000.

Faught Nancy <[email protected]>, "Wagenmaker, Trevor" <twagenmaker@h...
Erv,
As we chatted about last week, the conceptual estimate for the pH improvements at the water treatment
plant (WTP) is higher than what was expected, and the amount is more than the City has budgeted for
the coming fiscal year. We collectively agreed that while this project has a great deal of merit to proceed
forward, unless we can get the project costs worked out, it will not be able to be built.
From our draft report, to simply purchase just the equipment for this project is over 75% of the
construction cost estimate. Currently, there is only 1 reputable supplier of the carbon dioxide equipment
in Michigan, TOMCO. While there are other national suppliers, they are out of state and HRC has had
no experience with their service after the sale on this critical piece of treatment equipment.
Since the installation of the equipment for the pH project is such a small percentage of the overall project
costs, HRC is recommending that the City not prepare a full set of plans and specs for “regular” bidding
on this job. As an alternative, we are recommending the City purchase the equipment directly from
TOMCO and solicit a quote from RCL (the general contractor currently working at the wastewater
treatment plant) for the installation at the WTP. In order to obtain an accurate pricing from RCL, and
for the City to be able to secure a permit from the MDEQ for the pH adjustment change, HRC proposes
the following modified scope of design work for this assignment:
·
·
·
·
·
Prepare drawings showing proposed work, to include new CO2 tank outside of existing building
with new electric feed and CO2 piping into building. This will include details for: a new concrete
base for CO2 tank; a new control panel with electrical feed & SCADA connection; new water/
CO2 piping in the existing building; new diffuser installation in existing process piping; new pH
probe installation plan, detail & wiring.
We propose to use existing record drawings of the WTP as background drawings and write over
them for the proposed work. This will save engineering effort versus creating all new building
background drawings of the existing facility.
No formal bidding specifications will be prepared. However, HRC will work with TOMCO to
finalize a scope and cost for the direct City purchase of the equipment.
We will prepare a MDEQ permit application so the City can secure a construction permit from
them.
HRC will transmit all this info to RCL for a price quote and will review their proposal. We will
also write a recommendation letter to the City.
We would recommend the City budget $15,000 for HRC to prepare the necessary drawings for the pH
adjustment at the WTP. We would invoice the City on an hourly basis, up to this limit, in accordance
with our existing contract. This amount would not be exceeded without your authorization.

Please let me know if you find this acceptable, and if you do, we will get working on this assignment right
away. Also, if you need me to formalize this into a proposal, I can do that too….just let me know.
Thanks!

Re:
Feasibility Study
pH Chemical Feed Modifications
City’s Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
HRC Job No. 20140923.02
Dear Mr. Suida:
As you are aware, the City of Howell currently utilizes a lime softening process to treat
the potable water it sells to its customers. During lime softening treatment, the pH of
the process water increases to approximately 11.0. To adjust it back down to an
acceptable level prior to storage and distribution, the WTP feeds sulfuric acid to the
flow downstream of the ClariCone tank. The final pH level of the water delivered to
the City’s customers is less than 9.0.
While the use of sulfuric acid provides adequate performance for the desired pH
adjustment, it is a hazardous chemical which poses safety risks to WTP personnel and
has the potential to damage equipment at the WTP. Therefore, the City requested
Hubbell, Roth & Clark (HRC) to investigate an alternate chemical for pH adjustment.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a proven chemical system used for pH adjustment of lime
softened water at WTPs throughout Michigan. It is the popular chemical system of
choice because it is very safe, readily available and easy to use.
Typically a CO2 feed system consists of a liquid storage tank (usually set outside the
plant with temperature/pressure control equipment), a feed/control panel in the plant
(which meters the gaseous CO2 and mixes it with service water to produce carrier
water) and a diffuser system (for dispersing the carrier water into the high pH softened
water).
The design average daily flow for the City of Howell’s WTP is 3.1 million gallons per
day (MGD). The WTP is currently experiencing average day flows closer to 1.0
MGD. Based on this current flow, the average daily feed rate of CO2 needed to adjust
the pH from 11.0, to just under 9.0, is 450 lbs/day.
Based on our recent field visit to the WTP, HRC anticipates a new CO2 system could
be configured as follows:
•
A new 14 ton liquid CO2 tank (approximately a 60 day supply) would be
installed on a new concrete pad, just outside the WTP, near the employee
parking/water fill station area. A 460V electrical feed for the control
equipment of the tank would also be required.

•
A new CO2 gas feed pipe would be installed from the new storage tank, thru
the outside concrete wall of the WTP, into the existing pipe chase between the
filters and the clear well. It would extend down to a new control panel to be
located in the existing lower sludge pump area. The new control panel would
be wired for electrical service and be able to receive the pH level signal from
the pH probe. The existing pH probe will be replaced as part of the project due
to its age and current condition.
•
A new 2” water feed line will be installed from downstream of the backflow
preventer to the new control panel. This feed line would supply water to the
control panel for mixing with the CO2 gas (the combination of water and CO2
gas forms carbonic acid). Approximately 55 gallons per minute of carrier
water will be needed for this mixing operation. The panel will control the feed
rate of the CO2 gas automatically based on the pH set-point, and will mix it
with the water to create carrier water.
•
From the control panel, the carbonic acid would be fed via a new 2” pipe to the
process water, just downstream of the ClariCone. To provide sufficient mixing
of the carbonic acid with the process water, a new diffuser will be installed in
the submerged section of the piping in this location.
•
A sampling tank will be added offline from the main flow, downstream of the
diffuser. This will provide a sampling location for more accurate pH level
readings.
Traditionally, WTPs are equipped with a recarbonation tank that would provide ±15
minutes of detention time for the pH reduction to occur. Unfortunately, there is
insufficient room/space within the existing WTP for a new recarbonation tank; and
constructing a recarbonation tank outside of the existing WTP would be very costly.
However, there other WTPs in Michigan feeding CO2 without utilizing a recarbonation
tank. This modified operation has proven to perform well in a WTP like Howell’s
where there is an on-site finished water storage reservoir to provide additional
detention time before the water is pumped into the distribution system.
There will be one operational/maintenance issue with installing the CO2 diffuser in the
existing piping downstream of the ClariCone. It’s one of accessibility, due to the
elevated height above the floor. It’s possible to mitigate this situation by modifying
the piping to bring the diffuser closer to the floor, or by constructing an additional
catwalk to it. We have included an allowance under Alternate Items in the attached
Engineers Opinion of Probable Project Cost for the City’s consideration on this
matter.
The feed rate for the CO2 is automatically controlled in the new control panel. This is
accomplished by the panel receiving the signal from pH meter and adjusting the CO2
feed accordingly to maintain an operator inputted set point. However, the control setpoint must be input into the control panel. While the plant’s SCADA system will

March 10, 2015
HRC Job Number 20140923.02
Page 3 of 3
continuously monitor the pH level in the finished water, it will not be able to control
the CO2 feed system.
We have attached an Engineers Opinion of Probable Project Cost for the proposed
CO2 modifications. The total estimated cost to implement this work is projected to be
$345,000, which includes an allowance for engineering and contingencies. A permit
from the MDEQ will be required for this work which will require sealed, engineered
plans & specifications be prepared.
Due to the relatively small size/cost of the modifications, and since this type of CO2
equipment is manufactured by a single company, HRC believes it would be more cost
effective for the City to purchase the equipment directly from the manufacturer, and
then hire a local contractor for installation. The attached Engineers Opinion of
Probable Project Cost is based on this methodology. If the City were to prefer to
publically bid the project, we would recommend that the Engineers Opinion of
Probable Project Cost be increased by 10% to account for the additional
administration costs.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact the
undersigned.

CITY HALL REPAIRS
Hubbell Roth & Clark (HRC), in preparation to design the east wall repairs,
conducted an additional investigation of the building. Unfortunately their effort revealed
additional structural issues which are discussed in the attached report. The report
includes options from basic repairs to consideration of a new building.
The HRC investigation revealed that the north and south load bearing walls are
not tied to the internal structural framework and none of the outside walls have any
vertical reinforcement. Staff has recently noticed the south wall is showing signs of
movement on the third floor. The level of effort and cost to address the structural issues
is significant and HRC’s recommendation is the City considers a new building. Given
the City’s current fiscal dynamics I do not feel this is an option and recommend pursuing
the basic fix and monitoring. This option will allow the City to develop a long term plan
for the building.
HRC representatives will be in attendance to review their report and answer any
questions.

April 29, 2015
GENERAL:
A detailed investigation of the City Offices at 611 East Grand River was performed by
Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc. (HRC) on April 2, 2015. This investigation followed two
previous investigations performed by our firm. The first was a preliminary structural
evaluation that was conducted in November of 2013 and the second was a laser scan
survey of the east and west stairwells that was performed in January of 2015. All were
conducted in response to observations made by the City regarding the development of
cracks at building walls, suspected to be related to the performance of the building’s
structural system.
The original building design drawings (circa 1977) indicate that the building structure
consists of steel columns, beams and open-web steel joists with exterior walls
constructed of concrete masonry units (CMU) faced with brick. The floors are
comprised of wire mesh-reinforced concrete slab over corrugated metal deck. Wide rib
metal decking supports a loose-laid membrane roof system.
SUMMARY OF FIELD INVESTIGATION FINDINGS:
The key focus of the recent April 2nd investigation was to verify the existing conditions
relating to the structural connections between the aforementioned building
components, in order to determine why interior wall cracks continue to develop in the
building. It was of particular importance to document the presence or absence of
connections between the exterior walls and the steel roof/floor structure.
The original design drawings indicate that the beams and joists were “to be grouted or
bricked tight into wall pockets.” During the investigation, it was confirmed that the
physical connection between the exterior load-bearing CMU walls (north and south)
and the steel structure relies solely on the use of grout and solid masonry units grouted
around the beams and joists to “hold” them in place (SEE FIGURE 1). Though the
beams are grouted into the wall pockets, this connection method is not in keeping with
current industry standards, because the beams are not physically attached to the walls
with an anchored bearing plate between them.
Further, the investigation confirmed that there are no essential connections between the
steel beams/joists and the non-load bearing CMU walls on the east and west sides of
the building (SEE FIGURE 2). In HRC’s January 28, 2015 report following the laser
scanning of the east and west stairwells, it was noted that the original design drawings
called for a length of structural steel angle north of the east stairwell on the second and
third floors only. It was also noted in the report that the presence or absence of this
connection had not yet been field verified. The April 2nd investigation confirmed that
there is no structural steel connection between the 2nd and 3rd floors and the walls in
these areas. It is important to note that the presence of structural connections between

the floors/roof and the walls for the full perimeter is essential to the building’s ability
to properly resist lateral structural loads, in particular, wind loads.
In addition to documenting whether or not there are connections between the exterior
CMU walls and the steel structure, HRC’s investigation also focused on the masonry
wall system as a whole. Because the walls are a critical component to the means by
which a building moves and breathes, HRC was looking to confirm the existence of
additional key details whose presence better ensures a robust building system.
Inspection of the walls from both the interior and exterior of the building confirmed the
following:
•
•
A lack of joints in both the brick and CMU layers of the wall system to
allow for controlled cyclic movement due to temperature, humidity and
settlement (SEE FIGURE 3).
A lack of weep holes to allow for water/condensation drainage out of the
wall cavity and to allow ventilating air to enter behind the wall to help dry
the structure (SEE FIGURE 4).
Based on HRC’s review of the original design drawings, the wall construction appears
to be a “mass” type wall, with no real airspace or gap between the CMU and face
brick. At the time the building was constructed, this design was an acceptable
construction practice. Current industry standards recommend that a 1-inch to 2-inch
air space be provided between the CMU and face brick. This airspace is now
understood to be critical to allow moisture that is present within the wall cavity from
wind-driven rain and condensation to collect and run down the cavity space where it
drains via weep holes located at the base of the wall assembly.
Review of the original design drawings also confirmed that there was no requirement
in the drawings for continuous vertical steel reinforcement grouted into the cores of the
block walls. Though it is not entirely unusual for a building of this vintage to lack
vertical reinforcement in the masonry, the development of analytical methods for the
design of engineered masonry has furthered the belief that vertical reinforcement is
essential for resistance to horizontal wind load as it provides additional continuity and
strength within the CMU wall mass. In addition, this reinforcement within the block
helps to transfer the loads imposed on the wall into the steel structure. The lack of
vertical reinforcement in combination with the lack of adequate structural connection
between the walls and steel structure mean that there is a troubling discontinuity
between the steel structure and the walls enclosing the building.
It is believed that the building’s lack of “best practice” construction details, such as
those summarized above, have contributed to the cracking of the interior CMU,
particularly along the east perimeter wall of the building. In the southeast corner of the
3rd floor Mechanical Equipment Room, HRC documented a notable gap where an
interior partition wall meets the east perimeter wall (SEE FIGURE 5). Measurements
could not be taken for verification as access behind an adjacent duct shaft was limited.
City of Howell
April 29, 2015
Page 3 of 16
HRC investigated the interior side of the walls for the full perimeter of the building on
all (4) floor levels, where access was allowed. In general, evidence of deterioration of
some of the interior finishes was documented including broken grout joints at the
interface of cove and floor tile in the restrooms (SEE FIGURE 6).
Cracks in the drywall where interior partition walls meet the perimeter walls were
noted where wallpaper or built-in casework did not cover these interfaces. In some
cases, it was noted that the vertical joints at these walls had been caulked for the full
height of the room, which would indicate that signs of separation have been evident for
a significant time period. Wall cracks were observed along both the east building wall
and also along the south perimeter wall, including the City Manager’s office suite and
the adjacent conference room.
Cracks through the concrete block faces and mortar joints were observed in the 2nd
floor vault, which is located in the northeast corner of the building. The walls in the
vault have been painted in the recent past, making it more difficult to identify the
cracks, but HRC was able to determine the presence of cracks beneath the paint.
Similar to the observation of caulk in the corners of rooms with drywall along the
south wall, it appears as though cracking has been occurring over an extended period
of time leading up HRC’s April 2nd inspection. Though it cannot be concluded
definitively, it is likely that these signs of deterioration may be attributed to the lack of
physical connection between the steel structure and masonry walls. No structural
cracks were observed in the drywall-finished walls of the offices along the north wall
of the building.
Though cracks were observed frequently at the interior CMU walls (where HRC had
visual access to them), no ostensible cracking was documented in the face brick during
inspection of the building exterior. Typically, the face brick absorbs moisture more
readily because it is made of clay. In addition, its exposure to both weather and solar
conditions causes it to expand and contract more frequently than the concrete block
layer, which remains more dimensionally stable because there is less temperature and
humidity fluctuation on the interior of the building.
The resulting differential behavior of the brick and block, combined with the fact that
they are physically linked together in the wall construction via horizontal wire ties that
are laid in the mortar joints, results in a transfer of stress from one layer to the other.
In this case, the brick appears to be stronger than the block. Because there are no
control joints in either the brick or block layers, there is no natural path to relieve the
stress of this cyclic movement and so cracking has occurred in the concrete block and
mortar joints.
LASER SCAN RESULTS & FIELD INVESTIGATION OF STAIRWELLS:
It is important to this analysis of the cracking issues in the building to make reference
to HRC’s January 28, 2015 letter, which detailed the process and outcome of HRC’s
laser scanning of the east and west stairwells earlier that month. The primary purpose
City of Howell
April 29, 2015
Page 4 of 16
of the scan was to verify if any exterior walls had moved out of alignment in the
vertical direction and to document the extent of that movement. The laser scanning was
performed with the objective that the data collected would provide a benchmark for the
conditions at that time.
The laser scan performed by HRC was started on the east side of the building using
known survey control points and continued around the entire exterior of the building.
The control was then surveyed into the stairwell and used to scan into the basement
level of the stairwell and up to the third floor by traversing using laser targets. This
process was repeated for the west stairwell. The scanned images were combined to
reconstruct each stairwell and the exterior of the building in 3D.
East Stairwell:
The scan of the east stairwell revealed that the face brick of the perimeter wall had
migrated easterly, or away from the building, an average of one inch at the third floor
level and approximately 3/8-inch at the second floor level (SEE FIGURE 7). The base
of the brick at grade was found to be plumb. For the CMU in this same nonloadbearing perimeter wall, the scan results showed that the block had migrated
easterly an average of 5/8 inch at the third floor level. Again, the base of the CMU at
the basement level and at grade remained plumb.
The increase in the out-of-vertical measurements toward the second and third floors is
likely attributed to the decrease in self-weight towards the top of the wall. This
cumulative self-weight, which is greatest at the bottom, helps to keep the wall nearer to
grade from migrating away from the rest of the structure.
Thus, the focus of
remediation, should this option be pursued, will be at the interface of each the roof,
third and second floors with the perimeter wall(s).
Cracking of the CMU in the east stairwell was also noted in various locations,
particularly on the second and third floors. As documented in HRC’s report following
the preliminary structural evaluation conducted in November of 2013 and recorded
again on April 2nd, a notable gap was observed where the north interior partition wall
separating the Mechanical Equipment Room from the stairwell meets the east
perimeter wall (SEE FIGURE 8). This gap was observed at the same wall interface,
but from the Mechanical Equipment Room side, as illustrated in Figure 5.
Results from the January 2015 laser scan of the other interior walls in the east stairwell
indicated that these walls are within construction tolerance, with the exception of the
previously-noted interface of the north interior wall and the east perimeter wall.
On the third floor, a crack was noted beginning at the top corner of the window and
continuing up through the five courses of block above the window to the top of the
parapet wall at the roof. The width of the crack was documented at approximately 3/8inch on April 2nd (SEE FIGURE 9).
City of Howell
April 29, 2015
Page 5 of 16
West Stairwell:
The January 2015 laser scan results of the west stairwell indicated that the west
perimeter wall was still within construction tolerance, the base of the perimeter wall
was plumb at grade, and the vertical alignments of the other interior walls of the west
stairwell were within construction tolerance.
As noted in HRC’s report following the preliminary structural evaluation conducted in
November of 2013, the south wall of west stairwell is an interior partition wall that
separates the stairwell from the office area. Cracks were observed in the concrete
block of this interior wall on the 3rd floor (SEE FIGURE 10). These cracks are not
believed to be indicative of a migration of the west perimeter wall away from the steel
structure, as is the case with the east wall. Rather, they are more likely caused by the
open web joists as they span over this interior partition to bear on the north perimeter
wall. The joists were grouted solidly into this partition wall using a combination of
grout and solid brick units, essentially locking them into the wall and causing a direct
transfer of stress from the joists to the masonry during seasonal expansion and
contraction of the different materials (SEE FIGURE 11).
Cracks were also noted around the stairwell window on the 2nd floor, migrating
horizontally through the mortar joints across the landing to the future knockout panel
that was constructed in the west perimeter wall. In addition, HRC observed a gap
where the east interior partition wall, separating the stairwell from the elevator, meets
the north perimeter wall (SEE FIGURE 12).
At the basement level of the west stairwell, HRC documented evidence of water
intrusion where the vinyl baseboard molding is adhered to the concrete block at the
floor. It was noted that the paint was blistered but that no moisture was present at the
time of the inspection on April 2nd (SEE FIGURE 13).
VIBRATION MONITORING STUDY:
In October of 2014, HRC performed vibration monitoring and corresponding traffic
counts in an attempt to correlate the movement of trucks on Grand River Avenue and
the vibrations being felt by staff on the second and third floors of the City Offices. In
HRC’s February 3, 2105 report, it was concluded that none of the vibrations recorded
during the study exceeded established values associated with a detrimental effect on a
building structure. Approximately 4% of the data that was collected registered as
perceptible by humans, a much lower threshold. In the report, HRC concluded that the
vibrations into the building appear to be independent of the cracking that is occurring
in the exterior CMU walls.
The April 2nd investigation confirmed definitively that there is an absence of
connections between the exterior walls and the steel roof/floor structure. This,
combined with the building’s lack of “best practice” construction details, has
contributed to the deterioration of the CMU walls, not vibration due to Grand River
traffic.

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
As stated previously, it is HRC’s opinion that the signs of deterioration at the walls
may be attributed to the lack of physical connection between the steel structure and the
perimeter masonry walls. This appears to be especially notable at the east wall, where
a significant portion of the cracking has been observed, and the wall is migrating away
from the building. It is important to note that this wall is most in need of remediation
as there are concerns that if this wall continues to migrate further away from the
building, gravity will start to have an effect on the wall’s stability.
Based on HRC’s review of the site conditions and our current understanding of the
issues with the building structure, it is recommended that until the City determines
what course of action to pursue in remedying the building issues, the area to the east of
the building should be cordoned off with fencing and signage, indicating that the area
is restricted from access. The limits of this zone should be established at a distance
from the wall equal to the height of the wall plus four feet, at a minimum.
It is also recommended that temporary protection be provided over the egress door and
sidewalk at the east stairwell (SEE FIGURE 14). This provision addresses the
possibility of isolated units or small portions of the masonry wall falling to grade if the
wall begins to move past its equilibrium point and experience localized failure of the
masonry. Further, the City may elect to construct temporary protection over the atgrade electrical transformer located at grade next to the east wall. Damage to the air
chiller unit on the east side is less of a concern due to its distance from the building and
the fact that isolated units or small portions of the masonry wall are not likely to fall at
a trajectory away from the building but rather straight down.
HRC recommends that these safety and protection measures be taken as soon as
possible as the spring season has arrived and with it, the potential for threatening
weather events.
As it relates to the joists that were grouted solidly into the partition wall in the west
stairwell resulting in cracking of the CMU, HRC recommends removal of the grout
and solid brick units from around the joists where they span over the interior partition
wall. Infill of the voids around the joists with flexible fire-rated materials is essential
to achieve the proper fire rating of the stairway as required by code.
After considering all of the data collected in our investigations of the building, HRC
has devised several construction options to mitigate building movement issues. Two
options for construction of an entirely new building have been provided as well.
All options include an allowance for providing temporary protection over the egress
door and sidewalk at the east wall, to be installed now, and remain in place until
remediation efforts have been completed.
City of Howell
April 29, 2015
Page 7 of 16
For each option, HRC has provided an estimated life expectancy and project cost as
well as factors that should be considered by the City as the pros and cons of these
options are weighed (SEE Construction Options Summary).
Option 1 – East Wall Tie Back & Repointing
This option focuses solely on remediating the east wall, as it is HRC’s area of critical
concern. Lengths of rectangular steel tube would be placed on the exterior of the
building to align with steel framing at the 2nd floor, 3rd floor and roof, and connected
through the exterior wall to both new and existing interior steel framing to prevent the
wall from continuing to migrate away from the building. Once the wall has been
stabilized, the interior CMU mortar joints at exposed locations would be repointed
(existing mortar removed and new mortar installed in joints). Cracks in the grout of
the tiled toilet rooms at the southeast corner of the building would also be renovated,
amongst other architecturally-related repairs.
This option would prevent a catastrophic failure of the east wall, but would not prevent
cracks from reappearing as the wall itself would still lack key construction details like
vertically-reinforced masonry, an airspace and weep holes.
Option 2- East Wall Tieback, Repointing and Control Joints
This option is similar to Option 1, with the addition of control joints in the exterior
brick of the east wall. The brick would be saw cut vertically from the base of the wall
to the parapet cap. The joint would be filled with backer rod and sealant to complete
the system. The addition of these joints in the brick would aid in relieving the stress
transfer from brick movement to the CMU. It would not eliminate cracks in the CMU
walls from reforming, but it would offer additional movement capacity to reduce the
potential for additional cracking.
Add: South Wall Connection to Beams/Joists up to Column Line D (± 30 feet from
SE corner)
This addition considers the connection of the exterior masonry wall to the steel beams
and joists at the 2nd and 3rd floors and roof from southeast corner of the building along
the south wall for approximately 30 feet. Included in this addition are architecturallyrelated components such as the replacement of the existing acoustical ceiling tile
system with an alternative ceiling system after it is removed to gain access for the
structural work, repair of cracks in the grout of the tiled toilet rooms, and repair and
repainting of drywall as required.
Add: South Wall Monitoring Program
This addition provides for the installation of crack-monitoring gauges on the interior of
the building (were accessible) for approximately 30 feet along the south wall.
Readings will be taken from the gauges on a prescribed schedule. The data will be
plotted and the results interpreted. This option includes cost for installation of the
gauges, monthly readings and data interpretation for a 12 month period.
City of Howell
April 29, 2015
Page 8 of 16
Option 3- East Wall Rebuild
This option calls for the full rebuild of the east wall with vertically-reinforced concrete
masonry units (CMU) faced with brick and tied to the existing steel structure using
industry-standard methods. It should be noted that temporary relocation costs for the
building’s occupants are not included.
Option 4- Single Story New Construction
This option includes demolition of the existing building and reconstruction of a new
10,000 square foot single-story office building with a steel roof deck and brick-onblock exterior walls. Temporary relocation costs are not included.
Option 5- Two-Story New Construction
This option includes demolition of the existing building and reconstruction of a new
10,000 square foot two-story office building with a steel roof deck and brick-on-block
exterior walls. Again, temporary relocation costs are not included.
HRC recommends the City choose either Options 4 or 5 for construction of a new
building. While the other options can be provided at a lower cost, they do not offer a
long-term solution. For Options 1 and 2, the deterioration issues will not be
permanently addressed and will require future investment of both time and money
within the coming years. For Option 3, it is highly likely that the rebuilt east wall will
outlast the life expectancy of the rest of the building systems. Further, as the entire rest
of the building continues to age, the mounting costs of capital improvements may lead
the City to consider a new construction alternative on this basis alone.
If funding does not allow for the consideration of either of the new construction
options, HRC recommends that the City pursue a combination of either Options 1 or 2
(to connect the east wall to the existing steel structure) and a monitoring program along
the south wall for a distance of about 30 feet, beginning at the southeast corner.

Re:
Bennett Recreation Center Parking Lot
Recommendation of Contract Award
Mr. Suida,
On April 24, 2015, bids were received for the Bennett Recreation Center parking lot improvements. The
project consists of pulverizing the existing asphalt pavement and recycling it for an aggregate base for the new
parking lot. New asphalt pavement will be placed and additional parking spaces will be added to the lot. ADA
accessible upgrades will also be made throughout the site.
Enclosed is a tabulation of the bids received. A total of four (4) bids were received, with the low being
$104,621.10 and high being $131,395.00. The low bid was submitted by Allied Construction of Clarkston,
MI. The final engineer’s estimate for the project was $115,000. The three low bidders are summarized as
follows:
Contractor
Allied Construction Company, Inc.
T&M Asphalt Paving
Asphalt Specialists, Inc.
Bid Amount
$104,621.10
$114,330.00
$127,554.75
Allied Construction has successfully completed other projects similar to the Bennett Recreation Center parking
lot, and they have received favorable recommendations from their references. Therefore, we recommend the
award of this project to Allied Construction Company, Inc. at the unit prices bid which, when applied to the
estimated quantities, result in a total bid amount of $104,621.10.

RE:
DPW MAINTENANCE BUILDING ROOF REPLACEMENT
For the last few years we have noticed a deterioration of the Public Works
Maintenance building roof (former Marion Street Sub Station). In trying to get as much
life out of it as possible we have made small repairs to get by, but a rough winter has taken
its toll and we determined that a full replacement is warranted.
Attached to this memo you will find three quotes that were obtained through the
sealed bid process that correspond with the prices below.
$10,995.00
Weather Guard Roofing - Canton, MI
$11,407.00
Ferguson Roofing Inc. - Howell, MI
$23,000.00
CEI Commercial Roofing, - Howell, MI
(Did not submit)
DR Roofing-Howell, MI
(Did not submit)
Spirit & Sons Roofing
Per City policy the local contractor was within 5% and within $500 of the lowest
price which makes Ferguson Roofing the low bid. $90,000 was budgeted in line
641-441-975-000 for roof replacement of the main building as well as the DPW
maintenance building. Staff will be bidding out the main building later this year.

RE:
DEPOT STORM DRAIN MAINTENANCE PROJECT
The Howell Storm Sewer system expands through many parts of the City and has
several outfalls. As this system collects water runoff from roads, parking lots and other
surfaces it collects sediment (sand and debris). From time to time the areas of discharge
(outfalls) need to be cleaned out by digging or dredging to maintain proper drainage. One
such area is the Depot Drain Outfall, North of the rail road tracks on Wetmore Street.
This drain leads to the pond behind the Depot building. The area receives storm water
runoff from surrounding streets and over time becomes obstructed with sediment
decreasing its flow.
This maintenance is required every ten to fifteen years and was last done at this
location in 2000. The removal of sediment at this specific outfall requires the use of
equipment that the City does not possess. Based on this need Staff developed an RFP for
this work and invited five local firms to bid. Please find below three (3) quotes we
received through the sealed bid process to perform the work required.

POLICE POSITION
This week the City received the resignation of one our officers who is leaving for
another department. We wish this officer the best of luck in his future endeavors! Before
finalization of the proposed budget I authorized the Police Chief to begin the search
process for the vacant Police Officer position formerly held by the SRO. The search
process continued after the budgetary elimination of the second vacant Police Officer
position as we anticipated this resignation. Interviews were conducted this week and two
individuals emerged as potential candidates. We have extended an offer of employment
to the top candidate and assuming they pass the background and psychological tests, field
training will begin in June.
As we have two viable candidates I am recommending to City Council to
authorize hiring of an additional officer increasing the proposed budget by $30,000. A
new officer annual cost is $68,000 with two positions being $136,000, while the position
being vacated costs $106,000/year. The cost difference comes from lower wages for
starting officers, additionally new hires have a different retirement program with a much
lower annual contribution rate. The officer’s annual cost will increase under the union
contract but we anticipate some retirements in the next two to three years. Given all of
these dynamics, I feel it is prudent to proceed with the additional hiring.
BUDGET HEARING
Pursuant to the City Charter the annual budget must be adopted by May 18th. I
am requesting City Council proceed with scheduling the required budget hearing and
truth in taxation hearing for Monday, May 18th at 7:00 pm. We will publish the notice
with an operating millage of 15.9443 mills and a Garbage Millage of 1.2 Mills.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Motion to set a public hearing to consider the 2015-2016 City of Howell Budget
at 7:00 pm, Monday May 18, 2015 at Howell City Hall.
