DOG OW NERS
Spring is here and the time is now to make sure that if you own a dog that you are a responsible dog parent. City Ordinances
require that you pick up after your dog and that your dog is on a leash. Now that the snow is melting we find evidence that
several dog owners failed to pick up after their dogs during the winter months in our City parks. This makes for a very messy
spring. When your dog does its “business” please make sure that you clean up after it. It is the neighborly thing and courteous
thing to do. Please make sure that you take a “poop bag” with you whenever you are walking your dog.
If you need to order “poop bags” you can order Mutt Mitts, which are the same kind that the City uses in its neighborhood
parks. You can order Mutt Mitts for home use on line at: http://www.pickupmitts.com/mm/default.asp?l=32
Just as a reminder; it is also very important for dog owners to make sure that they have a City dog license. This helps insure the
proper vaccinations are on file and in the event that your dog gets away and is recovered by the Police, it will help return your
dog quickly. If your dog is “chipped” and does not have a City dog license, it most likely will have to be taken to the Humane
Society to have the “chip” read and you will have to pay a fee to retrieve your dog. Dog licenses are available at the City
Treasurer’s Office at City Hall. Call 734-453-1234 ext. 245 for more information.
COMPOST COLLECTION
The City Department of Municipal Services will begin its annual compost collection starting next week (The week of April 5th).
The compost collection is for containers or bags of yard waste material. Compost must be in the large brown paper compost
bags or in separately marked 32 gallon sized or smaller containers. The containers should not exceed 35 pounds and be
identified with a label “YARD WASTE” or with a large “C” or “X” on the container. Yard Waste Compost bags are available at
local grocery stores and hardware stores.
Collection of yard waste compostable materials will occur on your regular trash/recycle collection day. Residents are asked to
help out the collectors by separating your trash cart from the recycle bin and from the yard waste compostable material.
Keeping a little distance between each collection item will help make all of the collections more efficient.
Persons with questions regarding the collection of yard waste compostable materials should contact the City of Plymouth
Municipal Services Department at 734-453-7737.

Ozone Action Season begins May 1; Stay up-to-date on Facebook and Twitter
The 17th year of Southeast Michigan’s voluntary program that helps keep the air clean begins on May 1. SEMCOG,
Southeast Council of Governments, asks you to spread the air quality message to your residents, members, employees,
and patrons.
For the first year, Southeast Michigan’s Ozone Action program has a social media presence. Become a fan of us on
Facebook and follow us on Twitter! We will be using these pages in addition to our traditional e-mail notifications to
keep you and your residents up-to-speed on a variety of air quality-related topics.
Ground-level ozone is a result of hot, sunny days. Elevated levels can be a health hazard, particularly for the elderly, the
young, and those suffering from respiratory ailments such as emphysema or asthma. Current standards are much tougher
than in the past, making it even more important for residents to take action on Ozone Action days.
The good news is that many of the actions that can make a difference for air quality can also save money during these
difficult economic times.
1. Maintain your car with tune-ups, oil changes, clean air filters, and proper tire inflation. This can save you 23 gallons of
gasoline per year on average.
2. Trip chain. Combining three trips into one each week could eliminate 200 miles on your vehicle, save 10 hours of time,
and 10 gallons of gas a year.
3. Telecommute. Working from home one day a week can save the typical commuter 1,200 miles on their vehicle and
over 58 gallons of gas a year.
SEMCOG is a regional planning partnership of governmental units serving 4.8 million people in the seven-county region
of Southeast Michigan striving to enhance the region’s quality of life.

PLEASE HELP! The City of Plymouth Police Department needs your assistance in keeping sidewalks
and driveways free of obstructions. When parking a vehicle, please DO NOT block sidewalks or
driveways. It is unlawful to park a vehicle so to obstruct a sidewalk in any fashion. It is also unlawful to
block a driveway. Violators can be ticketed and/or towed.
Bicycles- Spring is in the air and adults and kids alike will soon be riding bikes everywhere. In an effort to cut
down on stolen bicycles, The City of Plymouth Police Dept. would like to remind everyone to keep their bicycles in
their garages or sheds or locked up when they are not using them. Children should use the bicycle racks provided
at schools and use a bicycle lock.
The City of Plymouth Police Dept. also offers a bicycle registration service. For $2 you can register your bicycle at
the Police Dept. and you will receive a numbered sticker to place on your bicycle. If your bicycle should be stolen
and found elsewhere, the registration number will help us to return the bicycle to you.

overnight list. Parking Permits are available for a fee with approved application from the police department.
Applications are available on our website or may be picked up from the police department.
Dog Licenses/Leashes: For the safety of your dog and our citizens, dogs are required to be on a leash or in a
fenced yard and are required to be licensed. Owners can be ticketed for dogs running at large and for not having a
license. Dog licenses need to be renewed each year as they expire every December 31st.
Addresses-Residents should check to be sure that their addresses are easily visible in the day and at
night. Emergency personnel must be able to easily locate your house at night in the event of an emergency.
Reflective house numbers and adequate outside lighting can help improve visibility. Your local hardware or any

outage report on the resident’s behalf. When calling, you must provide the address location, the number that is on
the pole if there is one, and if the pole is metal, wood or ornamental.

WE CAN’T MOVE FORWARD UNTIL YOU MAIL IT BACK!
“Take 10” and Help The City of Plymouth Get What it Needs for the Next 10 Years In March
2010, more than 130 million addresses received a 2010 Census form by mail or hand delivery.
The 2010 Census will document the changes in our nation since the last decennial census in 2000, and tell us
how we’ve evolved as a country. Because census data affect how more than $400 billion in federal funding is
distributed to tribal, state and local governments, the census also will frame the future of our country and our
community for the next 10 years. During Census 2000, the mail participation rate was 72 percent as of the
April 2000 cut-off. About $85 million is saved for every one percent increase in mail participation. For these
and many other reasons, we must work to encourage everyone’s participation in the census. Census Day is
April 1, 2010.

Piano Adventures for Kids
Enhance your child’s development through music! Recent studies suggest that playing and listening to music at a young
age improves learning, memory, reasoning and general creativity. Children will learn about the fundamentals of music by
following the adventures of Beethoven Bear and Mozart Mouse. Students will learn to play piano in a fun and exciting
environment. Classes will focus on listening activates to develop ear training skills through songs that allow the students
to experience music through singing, movement and response to rhythmic patterns. This is an excellent way to introduce
your child to the world of music.
