9a. Public Hearing and Motion – Michigan Next Energy Authority- Alternative Energy Personal Property
Exemption United Solar Ovonic, LLC
Mayor McDonald opened the public hearing at 9:04 p.m.
John Morgan, Vice President, explained in the past year the company has invested $20 million in the
Auburn Hills facility and will be investing an additional $15 million this year. The incremental tax relief is a
percentage based on the amount invested. Even though it was necessary to let 140 people go, it has
helped the company to consolidate, resulting in closing the Rochester Hills facility and bringing those 200
jobs to Auburn Hills. The Troy research facility will also be moved to Auburn Hills in the next year. The
company has also become more competitive by expanding beyond the roof systems they produce.
Mr. Morgan stated the company employees approximately 1,500 with 272 employees in Auburn Hills.
The current new equipment and the additional equipment this year will not generate any new jobs, but will
have saved jobs. In the long term however, expanding into other markets will generate more jobs.
Mr. Beckerleg confirmed the option presented before Council to either grant or deny the request is the
same option that the school board is given, the City does not speak on behalf of the school district.
Mr. Morgan explained the only avenue to receive an abatement on this equipment is through the federal
government. Mr. Bennett explained this abatement, through the federal government, is a 100%
abatement, the PA198 through the City is a 50% abatement.
Mr. Knight was in favor of the current request since the company hadn’t requested any abatements from
the City for this new equipment.
It was noted if the Council wishes to grant the abatement, then no action is necessary – no motion;
however, to determine a consensus of the Council a vote could be taken.
Page 4 of 8
The application for the abatement is based on the $20 million that was invested in 2010. Mr. Bennett
explained the State has approved $7.6 million maximum allowed for the abatement of the $20 million.
Council is being requested of 100% relief of the personal property tax on $7.6 million of the $20 million
invested, over the next three years. The State has certified the property as being eligible to receive this
exemption.
The amount the City would forgive over the next three years would be $87,637.
Mr. Morgan noted his company has never asked schools for the incentives.
With no further comments, the Mayor closed the public hearing at 9:29 p.m.
Moved by Mr. Knight; Seconded by Ms. Hammond.
RESOLVED: To adopt the attached Resolution to opt-out of the exemption for Alternate Energy
Personal Property from local taxes for United Solar Ovonic LLC as designated under MNEA
Resolution 2010-10.
VOTE: Yes: Hammond, Knight, McDaniel, McDonald, Newkirk
No: Doyle, Kittle
Moved by Ms. Hammond; Seconded by Mr. Newkirk.
RESOLVED: To Reconsider the previous motion.
VOTE: Yes: Doyle, Kittle, McDonald, Newkirk
No: Hammond, Knight, McDaniel
Moved by Mr. Knight; Seconded by Mr. McDaniel.
RESOLVED: To adopt the attached Resolution to opt-out of the exemption for Alternate Energy
Personal Property from local taxes for United Solar Ovonic LLC as designated under MNEA

much.
Page 5 of 8
•
Noted how dreary the downtown looks since the tree lights had been taken down, but appreciated
them being up the additional time.
•
Suggested investigating the possibilities of including electric or hybrid vehicles in the City’s
vehicle fleet.
Ms. Hammond:
•
Requested the landfill be advised of all the blown trash along the fence on M-24.
Mr. McDaniel:
•
Inquired about the downtown wi-fi system.

request of tax exemption, since it seemed quite confusing.
Mayor McDonald stated it could be reconsidered at the next meeting.
•
Questioned if the frequent power outages in the Heritage in the Hills neighborhood had been
investigated.
Mr. Auger stated Ms. Carroll has been in contact with a DTE representative who explained a fuse
had blown this last outage. There are two individuals who will not allow tree trimming on their
property. Consequently limbs have come down on the power lines that feed the Heritage in the
Hills neighborhood.
•
Hats off to all of the people that come out to support life, against the Planned Parenthood facility.
Appreciates that people feel this is a real detriment to the community and support Auburn Hills,
even though it is an issue that Council doesn’t have much authority over.
Ms. Doyle:
•
•
Noted she appreciated the opportunity to talk with Board and Commission applicants. She asked
that reappointments submit new applications and resumes and also come before Council. It
would be beneficial for those who don’t know the reappointed board members.
Mayor McDonald stated that would be possible.
Mr. Newkirk:

Congratulated Ms. Doyle on the publication of her book ‘Powering Up! How America’s Women
Achievers Become Leaders’.

Pontiac schools; Tim Melton/Tim Grimmel has been resolved on the web page; changed
‘investment’ to ‘cost’ on assessing document; regarding the downtown wi-fi, there will be two
meetings held downtown this month, with one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Recommendations from staff will be available after the report from Netarx has been received and
reviewed.
Mr. McDaniel requested that those reports be forwarded to Council when received.
The cost of running the pension board is $109,000 per year. Annual expenses for attorney fees,
consultants costs and liability insurance is approximately $52,000 for the pension board and
$46,000 for the retiree health care board.
Mr. McDaniel asked if those costs fluctuate. Mr. Auger explained the meetings had previously
run four or five hours, but they have tried to keep them at two hours or less.
Mr. Knight asked Mr. Auger if he could supply a written report to him regarding these items. Mr.
Auger stated he would do so.

2010 budget year. The invoices totaled $916.52 which did not exceed the budget for 2010.
2011 Monthly Budget Report
Ms. Brennan presented the monthly report to the Commission. Nothing to date has been billed or paid.
Beautification Council of Southeast Michigan Luncheon
Ms. Brennan informed the Commission that the best available date to host a BCSEM luncheon was March
2012 (as an alternative to hosting the luncheon this fall – in the same month as the Beautification Awards).
The Board decided that March 2012 was not good due to increased work load for planning the Perennial
Exchange. Ms. Brennan was asked to review other possible dates and submit options at the March
meeting.
Banner Replacement
The Committee agreed that the summer banners are the most in need of replacement. A few samples were
presented to the commission by Ms. Brennan for their review. Our City intern will be contacted to check his
availability to assist with the design of the new banners.

7. NEW BUSINESS
Perennial Exchange
The Committee discussed the idea of ordering t-shirts or polo shirts with the BAC logo to be worn at the
Perennial Exchange and roadside clean-up dates. Ms. Brennan will present pricing at the March meeting.
Advertising
The Commission unanimously agreed to update the Perennial Exchange ad in the Auburn Hills
Review. A rough draft of the new format will be developed by Kevin Lent and forwarded to the
Committee for approval. Once approved, a similar design will be produced for use on the I-75 LED
billboard to promote the event.
Also, the Committee discussed adding a one-page flier to the water bills that go out before the
Perennial Exchange.
Beautification Awards
Ms. Brennan recommended that the August meeting, currently scheduled for August 24th at 6pm, move to
August 10th at 5pm for the purpose of reviewing beautification award nominations. This will provide more time
to plan the event. Committee members will check their calendars and decide at the March meeting.
To streamline planning, it was unanimously agreed upon by the Committee that response cards (mailed out
with the invitations) must be returned via US Mail to RSVP for the Awards Dinner. Seating this year will be
limited to immediate family only, with a maximum number still to be determined.

Public Hearing / Motion – Recommendation to City Council for Approval of Special Land Use
Permit / Dow Automotive Systems – Outside Storage (7:04 p.m.)
Mr. Ouellette and Mr. Cohen explained that the applicant has requested Special Land Use Permit approval to
allow the outside storage of up to eight (8) vehicle bodies utilized for product testing at 1250 Harmon Road. The
proposed storage area will be 1,320 sq. ft. in size. The property is zoned I-1, Light Industrial district.
Conny Lauzon, representing Dow Automotive Systems, explained that all vehicle testing will occur inside
the building. The company tests polyurethanes, elastomers, films, fluids, adhesives, emissions solutions, and
acoustic-management materials on the vehicles.
The Commission’s discussion covered the following:
• Mr. Lauzon expects to have one (1) to three (3) vehicles in the storage area at a time, but could have up to
eight (8) total during some testing cycles. The length of storage is variable because the company may test
the vehicle with multiple products at various stages of construction.
• The vehicle bodies will be covered during storage inside the enclosure.
• No leakage of chemicals will occur outside the building because the products used on the vehicles have to
cure inside before storage.
• The storage area will be screened from view within an eight (8) foot tall vinyl fence enclosure. All storage
will be at least one (1) foot shorter than the enclosure. The fence will be white in color so that it matches the
adjacent storage building.
Planning Commission – March 1, 2011

•
After construction of the enclosure, staff may require additional landscaping along Harmon Road in two
small gaps in the existing vegetation. Staff would only require additional landscaping if the interior of the
storage area were deemed visible from the roadway due to its lower topographic elevation.
The public hearing was opened and closed at 7:12 p.m. No comments from the public were made.
Mr. Kittle disclosed that Dow Automotive Systems has been a customer of his business for many years and he
is familiar with the company. He stated that he is willing to abstain if the Commission felt there was a conflict of
interest. Mr. Ouellette and the Commission advised Mr. Kittle that they found no conflict and had no objection
to him voting on the request.
Ms. Verbeke moved to recommend to City Council approval of the Special Land Use Permit for Dow
Automotive Systems to allow outside storage of vehicle bodies subject to staff notes and conditions.

Overview of the Draft Infrastructure Studies for North Squirrel Road and Taylor Road/Lapeer
Intersection (7:25 p.m.)
Mr. Stevens, Mr. Juidici, and Mr. Loveland presented findings from two (2) traffic and geometric studies. The
first study area is North Squirrel Road from Walton to Dutton, and the second involves the Taylor/Opdyke/
Lapeer intersection and the Taylor Road extension.
North Squirrel Study
The North Squirrel Road Study involved first completing a traffic study and analysis to examine the existing
conditions and future needs of the roadway corridor. Mr. Stevens explained that traffic volume counts and three
(3) years of crash data were obtained and reviewed. Based on the information collected, the intersections see
typical crash rates for the area but there appears to be a higher rate of rear-end crashes between the
intersections. This is likely caused when vehicles are stopped to make a left turn into properties. Adding a
center turn lane and improving the road profile to increase sight distance would likely reduce these crashes.
Existing traffic volume is approximately 17,000 vehicles per day. Study utilized a one percent (1%) growth
factor to project to 2035, which is in line with SEMCOG projections for the area. This results in a future volume
of 22,000 vehicles per day.
The existing road cross section is a single travel lane in each direction with occasional auxiliary turn lanes at
intersections and/or driveways. Mr. Loveland reviewed the existing intersection operations and showed the
traffic model with the existing volumes. Most of the current intersections operate at an acceptable level of
service, although eastbound Shimmons Road and westbound Tienken Road approaches have delays during the
peak hours. With no improvements, all intersections fall below acceptable levels of service based on the future
traffic volumes.
Options for each future intersection were presented. The options involved a traffic signal or roundabout at each
location. The signal options with expanded thru-lanes as well as the roundabout options operate well, with the
roundabouts having less overall delay. Based on future volumes, the roadway section would be five (5) lanes
between Walton Boulevard and Tienken Road and three (3) lanes between Tienken Road and Dutton Road.
The option of having a narrow boulevard in locations where the center turn lane was not needed was also
presented.
Based on the traffic analysis and recommendations, an alignment study along the roadway was completed. Mr.
Juidici reviewed the alignment study objectives and constraints, including right-of-way impacts, environmental
concerns, aesthetics, utility conflicts, and estimated costs. By widening the roadway, there will be impacts to
Page 3 of 4
existing trees, property frontages, wetlands, etc. Most of the road footprint would fit within the existing right-ofway, but additional would be needed in some areas. The different intersection options also have different
impacts. The roundabout options would require more right-of-way than signals, but will reduce long-term costs.
Roadway profile corrections would also result in significant grading work up to, and in some cases beyond, the
right-of-way. The preliminary costs for each of the options were discussed as well as potential funding
opportunities.
The Commission, City staff, and OHM discussed the options and reviewed exhibit diagrams. It was discussed
that this is a long-term plan and not intended to be constructed in the immediate future. The long-term plan will
help guide road improvement projects, land use plans, and development projects along the corridor. Options for
“phasing” the project were discussed, such as constructing three (3) lanes with the future plan to widen to five
(5) lanes. A public open house meeting will be scheduled to present the plan and seek resident input. Mr.
Cohen advised the Commission that the anticipated date of that meeting is April 20th.
The Commission also recommended that staff meet with the most affected property owners again prior to the
April 20th public open house to further explain the City’s long term vision. It was suggested that City Manager
Auger participate in those meetings, if available.
Taylor Road Study
Mr. Stevens explained the main objective of the Taylor Road study is to evaluate options to improve the Taylor
Road intersection with Lapeer Road as a means to promote development along Taylor Road. The study
involved a traffic analysis to forecast anticipated traffic and examine the operation of different intersection types
and alignments.
Traffic volume counts and three (3) years of crash data were obtained and reviewed. Based on the information
collected, the intersection sees typical crash rates for the area. The highest number of crashes occurs on
Lapeer Road at the Taylor Road intersection and at the median cross-over south of Taylor Road. This is likely
caused by limited sight distance at these locations and the “weaving” being done by vehicles leaving Taylor
Road to use the cross-over. Existing traffic volumes were obtained for the road network and were projected in
the study to 2035 using a one percent (1%) growth factor. The undeveloped property along Taylor Road was
reviewed and anticipated traffic that could be generated based on the City’s existing zoning requirements. The
study projected future 2035 traffic based on full build-out of the undeveloped land to zoning requirements. Mr.
Loveland reviewed the existing intersection operations using the traffic model. The existing operation operates
well for Lapeer Road and Opdyke Road, but does not allow for complete connection/movement of Taylor Road.
This intersection involves other jurisdictions including the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and
the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC). A brainstorming session was previously held with
representatives from the City, MDOT, and OHM to look at intersection options that could be considered. Many
configurations were discussed and five (5) layouts were selected for further evaluation: a signalized intersection,
single roundabout, dual roundabout, signalized intersection with bridge bypass, and roundabout with bridge
bypass.
The various options were reviewed using the traffic model to illustrate the signalized options. Based on the
projected volumes, significant change to the intersection would be required to have an acceptable level of
service. It was noted that this future growth would not happen immediately, and the improvements may be
“phased” as the demand increases. The impacts of the various options and costs were presented.
The Commission, City staff, and OHM discussed the options and reviewed exhibit diagrams. Similar to the
Squirrel Road study, this analysis is meant to serve as a long-term plan to help guide future projects and
decisions. It was discussed that it would be ideal to have a joint workshop between Planning Commission and
City Council to discuss the traffic infrastructure options and vision for this area.
Ms. Verbeke moved to request a Joint Meeting with City Council to review the Taylor Road Traffic Study
and future land use plans for Taylor Road near Lapeer.

COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Cohen announced the following items:
• It appears Kensington Church will locate their church in Orion Township and not in Auburn Hills as originally
planned. Church officials explained to staff that it is cheaper and faster to rehabilitate an existing industrial
building, than build a new church.
• A rezoning of the old Wal-Mart site at 300 North Opdyke Road is scheduled for March 29th. Legend Value is
requesting a rezoning from B-2, General Business District to I-1, Light Industrial District. Legend Valve has
been in business in Michigan for over 20 years, supplying plumbing valves and fittings to plumbing
wholesalers across the United States for use in residential and commercial construction. Their intent is to
utilize the site as their company headquarters and for warehousing and distribution.
• Staff will be presenting the Riverwalk Master Plan at the Oakland County Planner’s Gathering on March 4th.

Mr. Bennett asked Mr. Tanghe to introduce the new members to the Board. Mr. Tanghe made a brief
introduction and then invited the new Board members to further introduce themselves. Ms. Douglas and
Mr. Stonehouse spoke briefly and provided the Board with a little background about themselves.
Mr. Tanghe distributed a number of work samples from Marketing Coordinator Andrew Opalewski in order
to familiarize the Board with what he is accomplishing.
CORRESPONDENCE
Mr. Tanghe explained the memo from DPS Deputy Director Don Grice regarding the Opdyke Road
Maintenance Contract which included bids from four companies. Mr. Landsberg questioned the
discrepancy of the wide range of bid amounts submitted. Mr. Tanghe explained that overhead and labor
costs and other factors affect the bid amounts submitted and that the low bidder was deemed qualified.
Because the amount did not meet the threshold of formal approval, no action was required.

7.a.
Mr. Korleski was present to request a Site Improvement Grant. He has asked that we consider one of the other three contractors than the one that is in the original memo awarding his project. He believes that he will not be able to successfully complete the project with the company that was the original low bidder. Julion Construction has submitted a revised bid in the amount of $63,500. This satisfies our “lowest qualified bidder” requirement. Because the Julion Construction bid is not itemized, Mr. Tanghe deducted a lump sum of 5% of their total bid for permits, scaffolding, and clean up. Therefore, the request is based on $57,150. On a dollar‐for‐dollar matching basis, the recommendation is a grant in the amount of $28,575. Mr. Korleski shared a rendering of the new façade and described a timeline for expected completion. Moved by Mr. Goodhall to approve the request from Gary Korleski (3329 Auburn Road LLC) for a Village Center Site Improvement Grant in the amount of $28,575 for qualifying exterior façade improvement expenses, for the property located at 3329‐3341 Auburn Road. Furthermore, payment shall be made directly to the contractor, Julion Construction in the amount of $28,575.00, upon completion of the work being funded and approval by the Building Department that the work is acceptable by building code and local ordinances. Payment is subject to all outstanding taxes, assessments, and City utility bills being paid to the page 3 of 5

Coordinator of Community Relations and Legislative Affairs Stephanie Carroll informed the Board
that the Farmers’ Market did very well in 2010. The Market had between 20-25 vendors last year.
On average there were approximately 200 visitors each week. Six vendors have already signed
up for this year’s Market and we anticipate the same number of vendors for the 2011 season. As
outlined in the memo to the Board, Mrs. Carroll is requesting funding from the Board in the
amount of $15,000.00 and would like to rename the Marketing Subcommittee the Events &
Marketing Committee, since the number of events being held in the Downtown are increasing
each year. The funding will be used for advertising, marketing and to purchase items such as
picnic tables to create a more ambience for the market attendees. While the sponsors from last
year have declined, Mrs. Carroll was pleased to announce the partnership with Genisys Credit
Union who will be the presenting sponsor for the 2011 Market. Mr. Stonehouse asked if the
Farmers’ Market had potential to generate revenue. Mrs. Carroll said that was a goal, but
according to other local markets, the first few years the focus is on growing the Market and
attracting customers to the Downtown area in hopes of later being able to generate revenue and
make a profit. Ms. Douglas inquired as to how to improve attendance. Mrs. Carroll responded
that advertising is important. For example, the 2010 Market was advertised in the Michigan
Gardener for eight weeks at the cost of $50.00. Word of mouth also improves attendance as well
as working with other local Markets. Mrs. Carroll stated that a press release will be issued at the
beginning of April regarding the Farmer’s Market. She would like to call a meeting of a
subcommittee in a couple of weeks. That subcommittee will consist of Mrs. Thornton, Mr.
Landsberg, Ms. Douglas and Mrs. Copple if she wished to remain. Mrs. Carroll is looking forward
to the Farmers’ Market Grand Opening on May 19th.
Moved by Mrs. Thornton to approve Funding the 2011 Farmer’s Market Marketing Plan as
submitted. Supported by Mr. Creager.

Mr. Tanghe explained that there was no reason for a closed session to discuss the acquisition of
land that is on the agenda. This parcel is not something of interest to anyone else but the City and will be used for the construction of a pathway for our river walk. Additionally, there is no great urgency to acquire it but it is important for us to own it for our future plans. The property is approximately 1.25 acres in size and contains a good stretch of river frontage. It is adjacent to land the city currently owns that is part of River Woods Park. A purchase agreement has been forwarded to the owner. They have agreed to the price offered and a response is expected shortly from the individual who has authority to sign the purchase agreement on behalf of the ownership. The property has an assessed value of $20,250 and page 4 of 5
March 8, 2011 minutes therefore an assumed market value of $40,500 per our Assessor’s office. A purchase price of $15,000 has been agreed upon. The land has limited access and use. The land is actually not included in TIF District A, but is wedged between two parcels that are contained in Development District A. It is appropriate and permissible to acquire a parcel of this nature using TIFA funds when in fact it is a key component that links two district parcels together. Our City Attorney has reviewed this acquisition and has given his stamp of approval. Moved by Ms. Douglas to recommend approval to City Council, the purchase of a 1.25 acre parcel of land with property identification number 14‐25‐401‐003 in the amount of $15,000, and authorize TIFA Executive Director Tom Tanghe to execute the necessary documents on behalf of the Tax Increment Finance Authority.

Mr. Tanghe introduced Mr. Matt Rizzo, Management Assistant. Mr. Rizzo gave a presentation of the DTE overhead line relocation in the Downtown. His presentation showed where the current lines are and where they could be relocated along the north side of Primary Street. The lines to be relocated include those that are mid‐block from South Squirrel Road to Grey Road, and between Primary and Auburn Roads. The transformer would be located on the west side of South Squirrel Road. Mr. Rizzo presented cost estimates from DTE, AT&T, and Comcast. The costs did not include additional expenses to connect businesses along Auburn Road with new services, that which the TIFA would be expected to pay. The expected cost for each would be in the range of $3,000 to $4,000 and there will likely be a handful of businesses that will need to be converted to the new service. There will be some underground work that needs to be performed utilizing conduit. Mr. Rizzo will follow up with more details at an upcoming meeting after a final cost proposal is prepared by all of the utilities. 7.e.
Mr. Tanghe discussed establishing a Phase I implementation of the River Walk Master Plan. City staff has begun to meet about what the logical next steps might be for implementing the plan. The proposed amphitheater in Riverside Park was discussed and some conceptual drawings were shared. Price ranges for construction of an amphitheater vary based on needs which have not yet been finalized. The purpose of the discussion today was to prepare the Board for plans that will be forthcoming. The TIFA will be funding the improvements contained in the River Walk Master Plan. page 5 of 5

ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION ITEMS & ANNOUNCEMENTS Historical Society Signage – A Proposal for Historical Signage at the Log Cabin in the Downtown was
presented to City Council by Wilson Garner, and accepted. The TIFA will be paying for the sign and the
content of that sign is yet to be determined. A staff review in conjunction with the Historical Society will
produce a final product.
Mr. Tanghe reminded the Board of the Auburn Hills Chamber and TIFA Ribbon Cutting and Open House this Thursday, March 10th from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at 3395 Auburn Rd. Ste A. The ribbon cutting will take place promptly at 5:00 p.m. DPS Deputy Director Don Grice is moving forward on implementing LED Technology Lighting Downtown. An ad‐hoc committee was formed due to the fact that three different lighting solutions are being proposed. The following TIFA Board members volunteered to serve on an ad‐hoc committee. They are: Mr. Bennett, Mr. Hassett, Mr. Creager and Mr. Stonehouse. Mr. Tanghe distributed 2011 budgets for TIFA A, B and D, as well as the 2012 Amendments to the Development Plan & Tax Increment Financing Plan for Auburn Heights Development Area 85‐A, B and D. He asked that each Board member insert them into their three‐ring binders. ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEXT MEETING – The next regularly scheduled TIFA Board meeting is Tuesday,

PLANNING WORKSHOP DISCUSSION – Auburn Road Corridor Planning Study
The Commission began brainstorming discussions on a vision for the property along Auburn Road at the
periphery of the Downtown core. The purpose of the workshop was for the group to become familiar with the
study areas (e.g., existing conditions, constraints, and potential land use options) prior to meeting with property
owners. The intent of the discussion was not to focus on the core, since the HyettPalma study had recently
been completed for that area.
Staff presented concepts for two (2) study areas in detail. The first area called “East Auburn Road” was from
Juniper east to Adams Road. The second area called “West Auburn Road” was from the Clinton River west to
I-75. All attending gathered around the maps and generally discussed the pros and cons of various land use
options and ideas for future development. No consensus was made in terms of land use policy direction for the
study areas; however all felt the discussions were fruitful.
The Commission plans to proceed with the following schedule:
• Conduct a walking tour of the study areas on Tuesday, April 5th (weather permitting)
• Visit various Downtowns in Michigan, with an intentional focus on observing what land uses are commonly
found at the edges or periphery of those areas. This will occur in the months of March and April.
Commission members will team-up in groups of two (2) and visit up to ten (10) Downtown areas and report
back with their findings.
• Hold visioning meetings with property owners in May and/or June
• Complete the study by August

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8B
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Subject:
Public Hearing and Motions - Approving the report and recommendation for issuance/renewal of
Recreation Hall Licenses
To insure appropriate oversight of Recreation Hall licenses, City Council enacted “Ordinance for Mechanical
Amusement Devices, Video Games and Pool Tables” under Chapter 10, Article III of the Code of
Ordinances. In addition to those Recreation Hall Licenses recommended for approval on March 7, 2011, the
following license holders have paid the required fee and posses the necessary certificates. Furthermore, the
Police, Fire, and Building Departments have conducted inspections at these establishments requesting
renewal of a Recreation Hall license. No major violations were found which would prohibit the renewal of these
licenses, and none of the businesses listed below had any violations relating to their recreation hall license in
2011:
The Post Bar
Establishments Not in Compliance: The following establishments, as of March 17th, 2011, at 1:00 pm, have
not applied for renewal for their Recreation Hall License. On March 31, 2011 these licenses will expire. The
license holders may apply to renew their license and the City Council may object to that renewal.
Duffy’s Irish Pub and Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill.
The Clerk’s office sent notices to each of these establishments advising that the City Council would be holding
a hearing on March 21, 2011, regarding the City’s potential objection to the renewal of their Recreation Hall
Licenses based on their failure to pay the renewal fee. These notices were sent two ways:
•
•
By first class certified mail on March 8, 2011.
By letters hand delivered by the Auburn Hills Police Department on March 9, 2011
Staff recommends the renewal of the Recreation Hall license for the businesses listed as having passed City
inspections, paid the appropriate fee, and possess the necessary certificates.
MOTION
Move to accept the report and recommendation for renewal of Recreation Hall license for the listed
establishments who have passed City inspections, paid the appropriate licensing fee and presented
the necessary documents.

Submitted:
March 17, 2011
Subject:
Rescind Resolution No. 11.03.50 opting out of the Alternate Energy Personal Property Exemption from local
taxes for United Solar Ovonic LLC
All material presented herein is identical to that presented to Council at the meeting of March 7, 2011.
Notification was received on January 19, 2011 that the Michigan Next Energy Authority (MNEA) has certified personal
property purchases in 2010 by United Solar Ovonic LLC as Alterative Energy Personal Property (AEPP) (MNEA
Resolution 2010-10), thereby exempting the property from local property taxes thru the year 2013, unless the local taxing
unit and or the local school district resolves to opt out of the exemption. The personal property in question is located at
3800 Lapeer and 2705 Commerce Parkway. City Council has 60 days from the receipt of the letter to exercise the opt-out
option.
This certificate is the 12th AEPP certificate issued by MNEA to United Solar Ovonic and its predecessors since 2003. City
Council resolved to opt out or not exempt local taxes from the first two certificates issued to United Solar by MNEA in
2003, and 2008. City Council did not opt out of certificates issued in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009.
The personal property involved in this certification by MNEA was to be purchased in 2010 and the maximum value is
$7,691,059. If the City opts out of the tax exemption, the maximum amount of new city taxes realized on this equipment in
2011 would be $34,637. The total new taxes to the City over the three (3) years of the certificate would be $87,637. Total
potential savings to the company, if all local taxes are exempted would be $191,119.
Reasons for City Council to not take action or to not opt out would be that United Solar is a growing and expanding
company and is engaged in the development of alternative energy resources, and the City wishes to further encourage
the company to expand in Auburn Hills.
It is understood that upon further review and clarification, Council wishes to re-address this matter. Therefore, it
is required that Council rescind Resolution No. 11.03.50. If, by a majority vote of those present, Council votes in
favor of rescinding Resolution No. 11.03.50 and is in favor of granting the exemption, NO FURTHER ACTION IS
NECESSARY after the below stated motion.
MOTION
If Council wishes rescind Resolution No. 11.03.50, the following motion should be offered:
Move to rescind Resolution No. 11.03.50 as adopted March 7, 2011.

Calls of interest On January 28, 2011, at 9:03 a.m., we responded to a smoke investigation. Upon arrival of our Police department, they notified dispatch that this was a working structure fire with heavy smoke pouring out of the eaves. Upon Fire Department arrival an offensive attack was initiated. The first crew reported zero to low visibility. Ventilation was initiated and the seat of the fire was discovered between the many levels of sub‐flooring. The fire was extinguished with minimal amount of water. An investigation was completed by AHFD and Oakland County Sheriff Department fire investigation team where they found the fire to be accidental in nature. The only source of ignition that they could not rule out was electrical. This coincides with a call from Det. Martin who stated that he was advised by the resident of an on‐
going electrical problem. This incident is a prime example of teamwork within the city. The original caller hung up, and the dispatchers, who were very persistent, were able to call him back. They then determined this was a smoke investigation in the area of Adams and Auburn. Units were dispatched to the area, PD was first to arrive on scene and gave a specific address and upgraded the scene to a structure fire, and DPS responded to the incident and started spreading salt to help alleviate slip and falls.

Thank You
Mike – (Mike Mansour, Naturalist) I just wanted to thank you for a great den meeting my
seven cub scout bears had at Hawk Woods several weeks
ago. My usually very rambunctious boys have never been
so well-behaved, because they were so engaged and
interested in your program. You have such a good rapport
with kids. I am sure you were a very respected, effective
teacher, and still are.
Yesterday, I dropped off two bags of sunflower seeds at
the Community Center. Thanks again. I look forward to
returning with my scouts for another great program.
