   In the Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees meeting for Tuesday, May the 26th, we will please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Good evening and welcome. We'll open up our first item to public comment. If you're here to comment on any item on the agenda tonight, you can step up to the podium and we ask you to take about three minutes and introduce yourself along with your address. Good evening. My name is Elizabeth Elkis and I'm a resident of Bloomfield Township. I come here today to ask you to consider that Bloomfield Township is not doing enough. Regarding recycling of waste, priority waste is not doing enough to do the recycling, our community, use packaging, and our daily lives. Recently, it's been brought to my attention that there's a company named Ridwell who is recycling single and multi-layer plastics like bun bags, chip bags, produce nettings, loose plastic caps, flexible six-ring packs. Good evening. Thank you very much. plastic grocery bags, bar wrappers, coffee bags, chip packaging, pet foods, dried food packaging, candy wrappers, frozen bags, garden soil, bark bags, pet treat bags, reusable resealable food bags for oats and flour and it's just my goal is for all of you to just to consider raising the bar for priority waste to take into account everything that we are just throwing into the trash and not recycling when there's other options that are out there now that you might not be familiar with. So hoping to diminish and improve our township's responsibility to diminish climate change. Thank you Elizabeth. You're welcome. Have a great day. I hope you'll add it to your agenda of important issues. It was an interesting what she's referring to is it was that Ridwell

I know usually I'm seeing you towards the end of the year when it comes to the budget, so it's a pleasure to be here tonight, and thank you for adding us to the agenda. One of the discussions that I always have with you towards the end of the year has to do with caseload, and surprise, surprise, I'm back once again to talk about caseload. The judges worked very hard on the packet of information that you received. I know you've had an opportunity to review that. There are some highlights that I would like to indicate tonight because when it comes to the judicial elimination of the third seat that occurred back in 2011, that is primarily driven by caseload, and when we use that word caseload, we're talking about new cases. But a lot of the information that we did put in the packet is not just about new cases, which is the new filings that come in for the year, and you'll see that we have had a steady rise in those new cases when we talk about things when we went from 21,000 to 24,000 to 27,000, and were projected for 2026 to exceed 33,000. Those are all new case filings. A lot of what is in the packet has to do with filings to existing or old cases. Some cases which are open and some cases which are closed. And we did outline quite a bit in the packet with respect to both. I would like to just give a couple of examples. Right now, with three judges, they're all averaging on a monthly basis about 150 probationers,

   do with caseload, and surprise, surprise, I'm back once again to talk about caseload. The judges worked very hard on the packet of information that you received. I know you've had an opportunity to review that. There are some highlights that I would like to indicate tonight because when it comes to the judicial elimination of the third seat that occurred back in 2011, that is primarily driven by caseload, and when we use that word caseload, we're talking about new cases.

And we did outline quite a bit in the packet with respect to both. I would like to just give a couple of examples. Right now, with three judges, they're all averaging on a monthly basis about 150 probationers, so people that are on probation that are being supervised. So if we were reduced down to two judges, those numbers would be cut in half, so the remaining two judges would receive 75. So not only is the probation staff monitoring those probationers, but the judges have to deal with probation arraignments for violations. They have to deal with probation hearings. They have to do with early termination of probation, which is something that they started as part of the judicial reforms that we outlined in the package that the judges have to be hearing. So they're hearing their current cases, new cases that are being divided between two judges as well as those existing judges that they're getting those additional 75 or so cases. They're getting those early termination requests. And then the other thing that they're dealing with is old cases, cases that may be closed, but are now available or eligible to be set aside pursuant to the reforms. So we're getting whether it's an application to set aside an old drunk driving that is now eligible to appear before the judge. So we're getting those charges.

   Right now, with three judges, they're all averaging on a monthly basis about 150 probationers, so people that are on probation that are being supervised.

So we're getting whether it's an application to set aside an old drunk driving that is now eligible to appear before the judge. So we're getting those charges. and ask the judge to set aside that conviction, the two judges would be hearing those as well. And so I like to point that distinction as one of the differences when we talk about caseload, we're just not talking about new cases. We're also talking about filings to existing cases. And the other example that we have talked quite a bit about is the no-fault reforms and the impact that that's had in our general civil docket. So once again, new filings that come in the year, those are the things that the state court administrator's office looks at for that caseload model where they were looking at the number of judges that a court should have. They did not look at as part of that model the filings that come in with those cases. So when you have a general civil docket like the 48th District Court where we're receiving a large number of those no-fault auto cases, there's additional motions that are being filed that have to do with discovery motion for summary disposition that are taking up a great deal of the judicial time. And that's why part of it will be here before you today because when 2025, when they looked at this at the state court administrator's office again, they didn't change that recommendation or how we came out as a two-judge court.

7. 7:30

   and ask the judge to set aside that conviction, the two judges would be hearing those as well. And so I like to point that distinction as one of the differences when we talk about caseload, we're just not talking about new cases. We're also talking about filings to existing cases.

And they asked, you know, what makes us unique? What can we show that is different? And that's what we really want to present to the funding units is that that model that they use doesn't really capture what may. our court unique and those filings those additional filings those are all things that make us unique we're striving to provide the communities we serve with with the service that that they need both from the various police departments to the search warrants that are coming in to the arraignments that then they occurred to you know dealing with with victims of crime doing that on a timely basis and we want to continue to serve the communities in that fashion and we looked at this and one of the things that we've looked at if we did go go down to a two-judge court we'd have to change the way we operate and that's where it comes in I know part of that packet included that financial information that we've we've looked at the studies we've looked at how we would need to operate and we've determined that we would need additional time with our magistrates coming out of the pandemic we actually reduce the amount of time that our magistrates are at the 48th district court we went from seven dockets down to five so that the judges could do more of those search warrants arraignments and

8. 8:45

   they didn't change that recommendation or how we came out as a two-judge court. And they asked, you know, what makes us unique? What can we show that is different? And that's what we really want to present to the funding units is that that model that they use doesn't really capture what may. our court unique and those filings those additional filings those are all things that make us unique we're striving to provide the communities we serve with with the service that that they need both from the various police departments to the search warrants that are coming in to the arraignments that then they occurred to you know dealing with with victims of crime doing that on a timely basis and we want to continue to serve the communities in that fashion and we looked at this and one of the things that we've looked at if we did go go down to a two-judge court we'd have to change the way we operate and that's where it comes in I know part of that packet included that financial information that we've we've looked at the studies we've looked at how we would need to operate and we've determined that we would need additional time with our magistrates coming out of the pandemic we actually reduce the amount of time that our magistrates are at the 48th district court we went from seven dockets down to five so that the judges could do more of those search warrants arraignments and things of that nature we've looked at it because that the time that the judges would would need with the additional cases that they're gonna have to and filings that they're gonna have to deal with that we would have to double up the magistrates dockets so we would need them in morning and afternoons five days a week which would put further financial burden on the local communities the funding units because they that comes out of our local budget not out of the state budget the judge's salary does come out of the state budget. We've also determined right now we're operating, we've got three judges, we have one staff attorney that serves all three judges. We've also looked at it in the best way we could operate. With two judges would add additional staff attorney, so each judge of those two would have their own staff attorney. And once again, that would be placed financially on the funding units because that's part of our local budget. So the packet is really just designed to show you why we believe that it would be in the best interest of the communities and the funding units for us to preserve the third seat. There is a bill up in Lansing right now and part of the way that bill is written, they are asking for concurrence from the funding units

9. 10:00

   five so that the judges could do more of those search warrants arraignments and things of that nature we've looked at it because that the time that the judges would would need with the additional cases that they're gonna have to and filings that they're gonna have to deal with that we would have to double up the magistrates dockets so we would need them in morning and afternoons five days a week which would put further financial burden on the local communities the funding units because they that comes out of our local budget not out of the state budget the judge's salary does come out of the state budget.

There is a bill up in Lansing right now and part of the way that bill is written, they are asking for concurrence from the funding units resolving that the, to preserve the third seat. And that's what we're here tonight to ask you. I'll, to go ahead and show your concurrence for that preservation of the third seat. Part of the packet, there was a resolution that was prepared and we're asking you to vote and approve that resolution tonight. Okay, any questions? No, no questions. I just think that a very strong case has been made that it's certainly efficient in the best interest for our residents and the surrounding residents to preserve the third seat so that the services to our residents and surrounding residents continues as has been historically. Thank you. yeah I thought that the the package was very you know compelling and clear to me that I would like to preserve the third seat unless there's any other comments would like to make a motion that we support the resolution that's been presented to us support okay support by Neal and motion by Neal support by Mark all in favor say aye aye aye any opposed passes three to nothing or seven excuse me thank you thank you very much item number item number four consider

It's just a millage that's calculated each year to cover the debt service. And we ended up refinancing at a net interest cost of 3.18 percent, which will save the residents of the township well over half a million dollars over

11. 12:30

    excuse me thank you thank you very much item number item number four consider resolution authorizing issuance of the townships LTGO special assessment bond series 2026 presented by our treasurer Michael Shostek Michael yes hi I also want to acknowledge that Laura Bassett our bond counsel is here this evening so she can answer any questions that you have before we get into the new issuance I just want to update the board that I did go ahead and sell the refunding bonds that we approved I guess it would be what three meetings ago something like that which are the refinancing of the old unlimited tax bonds from the 2007 campus construction which is funded by a direct millage on the taxpayers so we don't it doesn't come out of our budget. It's just a millage that's calculated each year to cover the debt service. And we ended up refinancing at a net interest cost of 3.18 percent, which will save the residents of the township well over half a million dollars over the next six years. And that'll directly come off of their tax bill. So I consider that a success. Turning our attention to the Special Assessment Bonds, these will be for the Village Green and Verner Estates Special Assessment Districts. We anticipate that this will be, I believe, an $8.6 million bond offering. I just confirm that. I think that's right. Is that right? 8.6? No, 10.6. Sorry. 10.6. I had 10 in my head. Yeah. So it would be a $10.6 million. That's a maximum amount that we would sell. And obviously, any prepayments that we accept from the residents would reduce that amount. So between now and the end of June, residents in those Special Assessment Districts can prepay their assessment in full, without interest, without interest,

12. 13:45

    will save the residents of the township well over half a million dollars over the next six years. And that'll directly come off of their tax bill. So I consider that a success. Turning our attention to the Special Assessment Bonds, these will be for the Village Green and Verner Estates Special Assessment Districts. We anticipate that this will be, I believe, an $8.6 million bond offering. I just confirm that. I think that's right. Is that right? 8.6? No, 10.6. Sorry. 10.6. I had 10 in my head. Yeah.

So between now and the end of June, residents in those Special Assessment Districts can prepay their assessment in full, without interest, without interest, and that would reduce the amount that we would need to borrow on the bonds so this would be our special assessment bond limited tax general obligation series 2026 i would anticipate like in the last couple of years the way we do this is we allow for prepayments till june 30th then we go and prepare the offering and we come to market sometime in early august um this is the same resolution that we have approved the last couple of years regarding these types of bonds and at this point i would open for questions or if you have a question for laura feel free to ask it and michael at the end of the day it's about a two-tenths of a percent rollback in our millage rates to our residents right oh yes for the uh for the uh refunding bonds yes that's correct um so what this authorization does is it gives me the authority to sell the bonds um at a time of our choosing it doesn't have to be in august but um once we approve this uh resolution then i would have that ability to um sell when we

13. 15:00

    and that would reduce the amount that we would need to borrow on the bonds so this would be our special assessment bond limited tax general obligation series 2026 i would anticipate like in the last couple of years the way we do this is we allow for prepayments till june 30th then we go and prepare the offering and we come to market sometime in early august um this is the same resolution that we have approved the last couple of years regarding these types of bonds and at this point i would open for questions or if you have a question for laura feel free to ask it and michael at the end of the day it's about a two-tenths of a percent rollback in our millage rates to our residents right oh yes for the uh for the uh refunding bonds yes that's correct um so what this authorization does is it gives me the authority to sell the bonds um at a time of our choosing it doesn't have to be in august but um once we approve this uh resolution then i would have that ability to um sell when we deem it um prudent so any other questions i would make a motion that we approve i've got sorry about that i was was not sure if you're going to make a motion but i do have one question if you sell the bonds in august will there be a payment due in october uh on the bonds no however the assessment will still be levied in december okay so we we levy the assessment that we approved for the sads on the residence we will collect that um assessment in december through february 14th and then the first payment on the bonds will be an interest payment in april okay thank you okay motion by chris support support by neil all in favor say aye aye any opposed passes seven to nothing just want to make sure i get that seven in thank you okay item number five consider entering into closed session pursuit to mcl 15.268 to consider material exempt from discussion or disclosure by state or federal statute specifically a written legal memorandum by myself um martin will you take a roll call vote please uh mr barnett yes miss murray yes

The way that millage on the ballot is structured, they use the terminology shall, shall finance, public safety and shall finance the road fund. That would validate that those funds are restricted. Is that correct? I would have to look at the language and unfortunately Laura and I worked on that language and I think she may have made those specific, worked on that specific language. But I think it's, it is accurate that if those are voted. Go ahead. Turn the chat and follow him. Go ahead. on by the people you know like if they're approved by the voters that they are restricted in the permissible expenses now whether it speaks to specific specific accounts or specific expenditures is what i would want to clarify and i can certainly do that okay thank you i'd like to make a motion to approve the minutes support support okay motion by mark uh support by neil all in favor say aye aye any opposed okay it passes seven to nothing okay um item number b mark payroll and vouchers for may 26th yes so uh my standing no vote is uh
