Page 2 of 4
Susan Schaub – Is against the sidewalks. Concerned with who would be responsible for shoveling
the sidewalks.
Susan Gotfried located at 412 E. Detroit St. - Is against the sidewalks. States the grant application
has false information. The council should not pass a grant with fraudulent information. Went door
to door talking to residents about the SRTS grant.
Jeff Dryden – Is in favor of the sidewalks and has lived on Eagle St. for four years. He sees kids
walking in front of his house. The sidewalks promote health and walking in the community.
Vaitkus Vytautus located at 820 W. Detroit St. - Is opposed to the sidewalks.
Mike Messinger located at 226 S. Mayhew St. - Thinks the City Manager and the Police
Department is harassing his family and the City Manager is a liar. Is against the sidewalks.
Bob Johnson located at 205 S. Whittaker St. - Is in favor of the SRTS grant as originally
proposed. They are placed on the city right-of way, not on private property. Wants an explanation
why the City Manager directed city employees to put toxic chemicals down the city drain.
Jeff Roberts – The city has a good school system but there is no growth. Putting in sidewalks
doesn’t promote healthier children. This infringes on the property rights and what it does to the
property value. This is putting the cart way before the horse.
Randy Harris located at 224 S. Monroe St. - They have $4,000 of landscaping in front of their
house. There was a public meeting in July and everyone was against the sidewalks. Wants to
know why S. Bronson St. got eliminated and not Monroe St.
Donna Messinger – Speaking as a citizen and a parent. No one lets their kids walk to school in
this day and age. The grant has false information in it and is misleading. The council needs to
listen to the city residents.

RE: Monthly Report
Harvest fest was a huge success and saw one of the largest crowds of the year. The music was
great and everyone seemed to have a great time. The larger crowd brought more traffic which
we dealt with the best we could, I am already working on some ideas for next year.
The beach will start to get shut down in the next couple of weeks. We will pull garbage cans off
the beach and some of the signs from the area to prevent damage or the ice and snow from
carrying them away. The board walk will be lifted and the building shut down in the very near
future.
The marina has had some painting touch ups recently and we are getting ready to drain the
water lines and pull the ladders on the docks to prevent damage this winter. The aerator’s
(bubblers) will be placed by the docks again this winter to prevent ice damage.
The boat launch has begun to see the commercial haulers remove boats from the harbor. There
is hopefully only a couple more weeks left and we will then shut down the bathrooms, pull the
docks, and shut down for the winter.
The dog park continues to see daily use. We check on the park daily to make sure it is well kept
and the garbage’s are taken care of. The water fountain will be blown out for the winter and we
will continue to monitor the park throughout the winter.
The last couple of football games are coming up for New Buffalo High School and then the
Oselka concession stand will be done for the season. We will start to bring the ice skating
equipment out to the park and will hopefully have a great season for skating and sledding.
I hope everyone is looking forward to a great fall.
Thanks,
Patrick Donnelly Park Superintendent

Chair Shoemaker opened the Public Hearing at 6:41 p.m.
Site Plan Review/Special Land use for the First United Methodist Church – Big Brother Holding Co.
This pertains to the following: Article 19 Site Plan Review Section 19-2 Uses Requiring Site Plan
Review; Article 17 Special Land Uses, Section 17-1 Purpose; Article 15 On-Premise Parking and
Loading Section 15-3 (4) General Requirements; of the City Zoning Ordinance and the Zoning
Ordinance. The property tax codes for this are 11-62-0340-0329-00-7 with an address of 36 S. Whittaker,

49117
Public Comments – 6: 42 p.m.
William Lenga – 21 & 15 S. Barton St. – see letter attached – no objections to the revised proposal, but
questioned the level of and types of wastes that would be generated.
Ann Marie D’Anza – 21 W. Michigan – Spoke on behalf of father who is lives within the area. Expressed
concerns on parking, noise and odors in the outdoors.
Kathleen Keefer – Stated that the New Buffalo community is very important to her, the microbrewery
moving into a church is offensive to her, and wondered why this location has been chosen. The site
should be an historic site landmark and other City projects should be finished first.
Maryann Zukauskas – 102 S. Whittaker building is rented to Home Health Care. First she has heard of
this request. She applauded the applicants for trying to be a business operating on the other side of Red
Arrow Highway. Expressed concerns about parking for the customers that will come in for flu shots and
asked about the hours of operation.
Judith Herrbach-Lowe – 109 S. Barker St. – Comments see attached/letter was read.
Motion by Member Vaughn, and seconded by Member Kirkus to close public comments at 7:46

Public Hearing & Special Meeting

1. Presented on behalf of the applicants:
a. Applicant Jane Simon stated that she is a Professor at Notre Dame College and desires to
own a business and live in the area. New Buffalo is like coming home to her, she grew
up in a town similar. She is excited about the project and felt it will be great business and
bring recognition to the community.
b. Co-Applicant John Lastina – Is an investor with Jane Simon. Stated that he was glad to
be back before the Planning Commission. The previous application was withdrawn over
concerns with the liquor license. The new application fits the business model better than
the first. Plans are to open in spring of 2016. The new application addresses several of
the community residents’ concerns. Discussed the differences between a microbrewery
verses a brew pub. The license grants the sale of liquors other than just beer and now
could be cocktails and wine. The goal is to be a fine dining restaurant destination. All of
which fits much better into this new license. This changes the concerns of the noise
factor. Currently they have been trying to get the best fitting license for their business
model. There will be miniscule levels of brewing; under 1,000 barrels in a year, brewing
once a week. Spent grains will be sold to local farmers for feed. There will be little to no
odors. This will be a very “green” operating business. The brewing equipment will need
to run cleaning cycles.
c. Mr. Bill McCollum-Architect representing the applicants – discussed parking on street,
and parking per the zoning code. The total parking spaces required are 114; 21 are on
street, and 81 on site. Fencing on the property – there will be 3 different types, including
landscape buffers. 10’ foot light fixtures with no light spilling over into adjacent
properties. Site Drainage, the applicants have hired Radtke Engineers to work on the
drainage issue. Approval will be sought from Nies Engineering, the City’s engineering
firm as well.
2. Zoning Administrator report – Rob Anderson
a. City Manager Anderson – Discussed the utilization of parking spots in the CBD, and
referenced other restaurants that utilize the CBD parking. City has a reasonable number
of spots; however city wide parking is a concern for all.
b. Addressed Member Kirkus concerns on documenting the findings of facts and therefore
that is how the project was presented. The findings are that the application is in order
according to findings of fact. This is a prepared recommended resolution for
consideration and this was a decision that was well documented.
Planning Commission discussed:
1. Member Fisher – Discussed concerns with odor and remains of raw materials after brewing.
Stating that this would be easier if the City had ordinances on this that would meet some of the
more modern businesses that we will be coming before the Planning Commission.
2. Member Kirkus – Read the ordinance on off-street parking, believed the parking requirement has
not been met. Nothing is in our ordinance on Brew Pubs only on restaurants or bars. Expressed
concerns on the gravel parking space sizes. Amount of product being brewed and where the
waste water goes. Stated that he felt that people will not walk a mile to come to a business.
3. Member Hullet – Asked about the name of the brewery – Beer Church Brewery. Applicants were
not certain about the name. Also expressed concern for the religious residents that may not care
for the name and be offended. Voiced his concerns about the additional information that was
provided too shortly before the meeting and concerns about location, parking, traffic and
drainage.
September 22, 2015 Planning Commission 6:30 p.m.
Public Hearing & Special Meeting
Page 3
4. Member Maxson – Asked questions on the amount of grain used to brew. Felt the proposal was
well presented and stated they will have to comply with the sewer districts requirements. In favor
of the project and thought that parking was a universal problem.
5. Member Bernstein – Asked if the business would be year round. Discussed traffic concerns and
questioned if any traffic study’s had been done. This project will help build up the S. Whittaker
street area. Parking is a major problem, but the applicants should not be penalized for something
that is a universal problem.
6. Member Vaughn – Welcomed the business, stating that he did not want a pawn shop or a tattoo
parlor to come into the area. It’s good to see a business come in that will generate revenue in the
town. He felt that all requirements are met.
7. Chair Shoemaker – Discussed the waste being taken off site. The Ordinances have been referred
to before. Thought this was a good thing.
Motion by Member Bernstein, and seconded by Member Maxson to approve the Site Plan Review

Public Hearing - None
New Business - None
Unfinished Business - Master Plan – Update
City Manager Anderson was not able to attend to present an update.
Member Kirkus stated that he was disappointed that there was no update since there were a lot of
questions that needed answers. These might be answered at a joint meeting with the Master
Planning firm Houseal Lavigne. He expressed concern on the fact that the Members were not
involved in the process and need to be included.
Member Fisher stated that he had a list of things that he hopped would be included in the Master
Plan and was concerned that these would be omitted since the Planning Commission members
have not be a part of the new Master Plan creation.
Member Hullett agreed with Members Kirkus and Fisher.
Member Vaughan also expressed the same concerns that these kinds of tactics should merit the
firms dismissal. This is not the way to conduct business
Chair Shoemaker stated that he will discuss with the City Manager about having a possible
meeting with the Master Planning Firm.

MONTHLY REPORTS
A.) Manager’s Report – The GRSD Server crashed on August 10, 2015. Our IT person stated the server is
unrepairable. Currently we are using a rebuilt server and some files were lost. The roofing contractor will start
repairing the Maintenance Garage in two weeks.

Motion by Rose Dudiak supported by Juan Ganum to accept the Treasury Reports and the Monthly Reports to be

OLD BUSINESS
A.) Mark Prein, Prein & Newhof Engineering:
1.) Digester Repair – Mark stated on August 26, 2015 a Digester Repair Pre-Construction meeting took place.
There are 2 questions: 1. How many valves will be needed to drive the mixer. Currently the valves do not work.
2. After eight years, will the mixers work? Can the mixers be addressed since
Franklin Holwerda Company (FHC) is working on the digester repair?
FHC would like to omit the gas process and use a more current process called a Roto Mix. Mark explained you
use a jet hose nozzle and mix sludge through a pump. For this change, the GRSD needs a Michigan Department
of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) Permit. This decision will determine how many valves will be needed. FHC
can give the GRSD a price Rotor Mixer versus Gas Mixer. Mark will engineer the process for this function.
Mark asked if the employees can take apart the ninety degree (90°) angle gas pipe line so it can be checked for
blockage. If it is blocked, FHC can clean out the pipe.
Chairman James Reimann asked about who signs contracts. Juan stated the signer should be mentioned in the
motion. Rose suggested the Chairman should be the signer.

Buy-In Agreement there are many references regarding the ownership of the Bridgman Lagoons but nothing on
the GRSD taking ownership of the Interceptor, Baldwin Lift Station or any of the other Lift Stations. John stated,
that after sixteen years (16) he did not feel it was right to hand over the interceptor and Baldwin lift station back
to the City of Bridgman. John said that the GRSD should consider either covering the cost of the repairs or a cost
sharing with Bridgman. The board agreed to have Mark engineer and figure cost first and then the procedure to
proceed will be discussed.

Harbor Commission
Meeting Minutes
October 1, 2015
Pending Approval
Chairperson Nancy Smith called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm EST with the following
members and alternates in attendance: George Repiscak, Pete Mrozek, Doreen Kral,
Brian Flanagan and Jim Votava. Harbormaster Patrick Donnelly was in attendance.
The minutes of the September 3, 2015, meeting was unanimously approved as presented
following a motion by Mr. Mrozek and second by Mr. Repiscak.
Harbormaster Donnelly discussed the following points:
Four trees remain for removal at the municipal marina. Stumps remaining
from tress already removed will be removed by Thomas Trees.
Bids for the camera placement for the feed showing the harbor mouth were
reviewed. The Commission, following a motion by Mr. Votava and second
by Mr. Flanagan, requested the proposal from Vermillion be presented to the
City Council for movement forward.
The State has requested the Commission’s goals for the next 5-10 years. The
Commission had discussed this at the previous months meeting and directed
the Harbormaster to use this data for submission to the State.
An article for a dog patrol used to deter geese was discussed. The
Commission urged the Harbormaster to pursue the dog patrol and monitor the
results. Guidelines for participation will need to be established.
Options for shade will be pursued at the municipal marina. The replanting of
trees is discouraged based on the 10 trees lost this past year.
Chairperson Smith gave the financial report. Two additional associations have yet to
make their annual donation to the emergency dredge fund. Following the posting of
interest, the balance at month end was $286,981.36.
The Park Board had recommended that two BBQ grills in storage be installed at the
municipal marina. Upon questioning the Harbormaster, it was found the grills were
charcoal. Due to the possibility of embers, it was suggested these grills to be added to
Lions Park to eliminate the possibility of a boat fire. The Commission thanked the Park
Board for their consideration of the marina.
There being no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned at 7:01 following
motion by Mr. Repiscak and Mr. Mrozek, respectively.
Respectfully submitted,

Absent: None
Approval of Agenda
Motion by Member Kirkus, and seconded by Member Ashbaugh to approve the
agenda; unanimous.
Open Public Hearing at 5:05 p.m.
Petitioner has entered into a purchase agreement for the property. The purchase is contingent
upon variance approval. The property conforms to the Zoning Ordinance except for slightly
not meeting the required 6 foot setback on the West side. A Building permit was issued for
this structure in 1998 for the garage addition. This pre-existing setback deficient can be
retroactively corrected to allow the buyer to purchase a conforming structure, and perform
many upgrades on the property. This pertains to City Zoning Ordinance Article 6: R-1
Single Family District Section 6-4 (D) – Establishes a 6 foot side set back on the West side
for this corner lot. Section 21-5 Jurisdiction - Addresses the criteria for this Variance
request. Section 3-11(A) Encroachments into yards. The property is located at 802 W.
Indiana St., New Buffalo, Michigan with a property tax code: 11-62-8200-0364-03-0.
Presentation (by applicant or designee) –
Attorney Ben Schwartz, representing Mr. Donald J. Matthews; has a contract to purchase the
property. Mr. Coffey, also present, is the real-estate representative. Attorney Schwartz
discussed his background with property conformance law. The home is partially complete,
with lots of things that remain unfinished. Mr. Matthews is able to make the repairs and
changes and move in and live there. The garage addition was done and is not meeting the 6’
side set back. The responsibility should probably have been placed on the builder way back
in 1998-2000 when this was built. Mr. Matthews would like to know that he can proceed
with this purchase and get this into conformity. He discussed the previous variance, its
peculiarities and getting it into conformity so that it doesn’t have to be partially torn down
and replaced if there’s ever a fire. The request is for the variance to
Public Comments –
Pat Fisher, 12 S. Eagle – stated that he is not against the project, just had questions. His
home is catty corner from the residence. The home is too close to prop lines and during the
time it was being built he called the building inspector several times to report this. And tried
to discuss it with the builder.
Donald J. Matthews (Purchaser) – Addressed the contentions that there is living space in
garage. Mr. Matthews stated that it has a workshop area. He personally is not living in there.
September 24, 2015 ZBA Special Meeting 5:00 p.m.
They originally built the garage for large boats and has canoes and old cards. The previous
owner had heart attack and never finished it and for a while it had a renter in it. Currently
there are no gutters on house, and there had been lots of flooding. He plans on installing the
gutters and replacing the decks. There is a lot of work to be done on inside and showed
pictures. It needs dry wall and painting.
Dan Coffey (Realtor) – Had aerial photos of the houses in the area and there are a number of
houses don’t meet setbacks. That is not unusual. The home next door does not meet the
setbacks. Within this block it’s a common issue. So this is the reason for the request of the
variance and urged the members to approve the request.
Close Public Hearing at 5:25 p.m.
Member Discussion –
Member Ashbaugh – Acknowledged the presenters for coming before the ZBA. What
happens inside is not relevant to this meeting and neither are the setbacks of the neighbors.
This is a miss step that is fairly and easily corrected
Member Smith – agreed and suggested giving the variance from 6’ to 4.5’
Member Kirkus – agreed with Member Smith on giving the variance for 4.5’, there is no
safety issue. He had a question on the certificates of survey with a room addition. One
shows it and one does not and asked for confirmation on that. Stated that it is unclear what
happened when the last Variance was granted.
Member Pokuta – Agreed with everyone on the 4.5’ set back issue and stated that the
variance should be granted to make it right
Member Cooper – agreed with member Ashbaugh
Chair Grim-Vaughn – Agreed to the variance approval
Motion by Member Kirkus and seconded by Member Ashbaugh approve the variance
request of Donald J. Matthews to correct the setback deficiency to allow the buyer to
purchase a conforming structure and perform the many required upgrades on the
property. This pertains to City Zoning Ordinance Artifle6: R-1 Single Family District
Section 6-4 (D) and Section 3-11 (A). The variance is approved with the existing current
survey dated 8/12/2015 which shows the 5.1’ on the north west corner and 4.8’ on the
southwest corner plat location of the property.
Member Kirkus – Yes
Member Pokuta – Yes

Rogers moved, Winchester supported to approve the minutes of the August 11, 2015 regular meeting as proposed. Motion carried. Weber moved, Rogers supported to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried. Under communications, Adm. Secretary stated she had received a letter from the Michigan Gaming Control Board requesting a distribution report for the 2014 gaming revenues received from the Four Winds Casino. She will respond and provide a copy to the Board members. Warner moved, Weber supported to approve the corrected financial report for the month of August, 2015 presented by Jack Rogers, Treasurer. Motion carried. Louis Csokasy, Berrien County Road Commission, was present to provide information on the specific/actual cost request for repair of Wilson Road from Harbor Country Drive past the Four Winds Casino entrance to the casino turn around at the cost off $227,785. He stated the initial contact was from Jeff Clay about a year ago. A grant application for the project was not approved. Traffic counts have shown over 6,000 vehicles use the portion of the road under consideration for repair. Before the casino, 856 vehicles/ day used the road. Future plans for the road for on-going maintenance would be at the expense of the road commission. Vavra stated that in the past, the LRSB participated on a third of the road costs and felt we should be consistent with past decisions. Weber stated he was in support to participate in part of the costs. Rogers stated he would provide a copy of the 10 year plan for New Buffalo Township roads for the board files. Member Winchester wanted the record to show that the request was not initiated by the casino. There were no questions or comments on the request from Berrien County for a total of $114,446 which was less than in 2014. (Health Department - $30,783, Judicial and Jail costs - $32,209 and 911 Dispatch - $51,454) The request from New Buffalo City for 70% of $99,110.77 - $69,377.53 for a Sgt. Position was discussed. Warner stated that the 2014 request was a compromise to get the distribution completed and his position remains the same. He is not in support of reimbursement of further police costs and the 20% Discretionary money New Buffalo City receives is to cover these expenses. Winchester stated the request does not meet the criteria for specific/actual costs and he voted to approve in 2014 as a compromise to move forward on the distribution. Robert Anderson, city manager and Police

Chief Pitchford agreed to look at the department calls to determine which were attributed to the casino. Weber stated he felt the amount requested was reasonable. Rogers stated he would deny the request at this time. The request from New Buffalo Township for a total of $428,608.25 was discussed. Vavra stated the 70% reimbursement for police protection was negotiated in the past as was the water cost difference. Weber stated that 70% was a lot of money and he needed to speak with his Board before stating his position. The request from the Village of Three Oaks for police protection in the amount of $36,136 was discussed. Warner stated he is not in favor of any additional reimbursement for police protection which includes the Three Oaks Village request. Rogers stated he agreed with Warner. Winchester stated the request did not meet the criteria for specific/actual costs. Weber and Vavra stated they would support the request. The Berrien RESA request in the amount of $1,326 was discussed. Clarification was provided on the employment of the parent as requested at the August meeting.

October 16, 2015 412 E Detroit Street New Buffalo, MI 49117 Pete Weber, Mayor, City of New Buffalo Copied to City Council Membrs, O’Donnell, Peterson, Messinger, Spirito City Hall New Buffalo, MI Dear Mayor Weber, Earlier the year I printed on my blog an interview of City Clerk Allyson Holm with Detective Greg Sanders of the Berrien Sheriff Department. Because Ms. Holm made false claims about you and was disrespectful to you and Council members Messinger and Scarlatis during the interview, I made public my thoughts that she should be terminated. I repeated this when she was disrespectful to you and Council member Messinger at various public meetings. After City Manager Rob Anderson did not forward to you and the other council members an important correspondence from a city resident concerning a forthcoming vote, I wrote a blog post critical of him for that decision and I have openly criticized him for recommending to you and the other council members to commit fraud and approve a grant riddled with misconceptions and lies. This action that he supported will make it difficult or impossible to get further grants from MDOT as they will scrutinize every word of any future grant requests and leaves the city vulnerable when audited for the federal funds allocated by this grant. It was poor judgment on his part to give that advice. Since my criticism, I have been penalized by the City Clerk by assessing large fees on two FOIA requests I’ve made. Although the second request was almost identical to one made by another resident, he was not assessed a fee but I was. Ms. Holm asserts it is because the other resident made his request prior to the changes made in the FOIA law in July, 2015. I assert that she is either lying or doesn’t understand this part of her job duties. Michigan’s FOIA has always allowed for fees to be assessed if necessary, the change in July was only to require an explanation or work sheet of the rational for the fees being assessed. She is trying to use the change as a reason to target me for high fees. Since Mr. Anderson is well aware of her actions, he too is involved in this scheme. If you wonder whether the change of FOIA laws in July were to allow fees that were not allowed before, ask someone at the Michigan Municipality League this specific question. Either you or one of the other council members should do this because if fees were allowed prior to the July changes, Ms. Holm is misrepresenting FOIA for her own personal reasons. If I am the only person being assessed fees for FOIA requests, it is discrimination and retaliation and is not appropriate. If I am not the only person being assessed fees for public information, it
is not appropriate either. Freedom of information should be the goal not stymieing it. My FOIA request concerns correspondences from residents and should be available through proper record keeping by administrative staff and should not require an IT expert to locate. The administrative staff should keep all correspondences from residents in a file or folder to ensure they are part of your monthly packet and part of the public record. If a resident takes the time to write a correspondence to the city, you and the other council members should be copied and the documents be part of the public record. The record keeping of the administrative staff should be investigated by the Council because public transparency starts with proper record keeping and the flow of information to the City Council who are ultimately responsible for it. The entire transparency policies for the city has been given over to two employees. If the administrative staff doesn’t share information with the elected officials or delete it without it being shared, the Council has in fact forfeited their involvement in transparency. Ms. Holm has demonstrated that she is capable of providing false information about you during a legal investigation so her credibility at providing you truthful information should always be suspect and it certainly would not be beneath her to target a resident for revenge. The new city manager has made it known that he will support and protect members of his “team” and also ill-advised you on accepting a tainted grant. Employees of the city are not responsible to the residents but elected officials are and must represent even those who criticize the Council’s actions. The position of appeals officer for FOIA is defined as the head of the public body and that would be you Mr. Mayor. Is it even legal to hand that responsibility over to an employee? After investigating this and it is determined that it is legal, you still might question if it is stifles or enhances public transparency. Either way, I am asking you to get an official ruling on this provision of the Freedom of Information Act. Then to review the present process of sharing information and consider the best way to ensure public information is shared freely with the residents requesting it. Sincerely, Susan Gotfried

Subject: Correspondence for October 20, 2015 City Council Meeting
Attachments: City Manager lies..docx
I want to have this attached statement (and this e-mail) added as a correspondence to the October 20 City Council meeting, so that it becomes a public document. I read this written statement at the September City Council meeting, I figured it would be reported out of context, with out all the information in the meeting minutes, which it was. I also want to know why the city clerk decided to add my home address to the minutes of the meeting when I never said my address. If it is normal practice to include all the addresses of people speaking during public comment time, then I would understand, but as you can see, she does not follow any sense of order. Yet, she makes it a point to add mine. I will be unable to attend the meeting, if I need a proxy to read this, please let me know. Thank you, Mike Messinger
I want to address the City Council (CC) due to the fact that your City Manager(CM)
(Rob Anderson) lied to council member Messinger and Mayor Weber on June 1
and June 2nd (the CM even told Donna and Pete that they were out of control
when they confronted him in his office over the allegation). The cause of the lie
was that the Police Department (PD) took false information from the previous CM
accusing our family of violating a city ordinance. The Police took this information
to CM Anderson without investigating whether the information was true or false.
The CM called council member Messinger on Monday with this accusation. When
she asked who filed this claim he first stated it was an e-mail then when further
questioned he told Donna and Weber it was an anonymous call to the PD. Rusty
Geisler admitted on face book with the statement “yes bitch I turned you in” on
June 2nd so she again went to the CM office and he said to let it go, nothing would
be done. So the Police didn’t even contact our family or drive by to see if the
accusation is valid (which it was not and we can still prove it) which in my opinion
the police and CM are harassing our family unjustifiably. I bring this to the
attention of 3 of the council members as the Mayor and Donna already know this
first hand. Seeing that the CM is so easily willing to lie to the council members
whom he reports to, what is the chance that the grant that he is pushing through
is honest and valid? By the city council approving the back to school grant it also
shows that the city council condones the CM to lie to the CC as well as allowing
the CM and police to harass local citizens without merrit. Not to mention the
liability that the CC could be held accountable by approving a falsified grant
application. I ask that you deny this grant request and prove to all the voters that
put their trust in you that you are willing to listen to them and not revert back to
the prior administration that did not care what the citizens want.
Our family has already spent thousands of dollars to prove the false OMA
violation and I do not want to be held accountable for this false grant information
being held against us again as Donna is an administrator of our city.
I was going to add this as a correspondence for this meeting but have heard that
the CM and City Clerk don’t want to add information to the packet that may be
negative to the job they are doing as was stated at the last council meeting in
August.
Thank you for your time. Do the right thing please.

Subject: FW: Documentation, Transfer of City's Taylor St. ROW to PUD, updated Renderings &
RR encroachment
From: Rubia Jasinevicius [mailto:[email protected]]
Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2015 9:13 AM To: Robert Anderson
Cc: Lou O'Donnell IV; Robert Spirito; Donna Messinger; John Peterson; Pete Weber Subject: Documentation, Transfer of City's Taylor St. ROW to PUD, updated Renderings & RR encroachment
Mr. Anderson: During the September 15th City Council meeting you stated the City deeded and transferred a portion of the Taylor Street's ROW (near Merchant Street) to the Merchant Street Cottages (PUD) to provide an area for a pool. I have looked through the documentation of the PUD provided by Mr. Geisler; and cannot locate a copy of sale or transfer of the ROW. I am unable to locate this transaction with Berrien County Registry of Deeds. Mr. Carpenter, the non-contracted vendor, has stated on several occasions that Taylor Street is a city street. Your comments indicate otherwise, and supportive documentation would provide clarity. You stated, you spoke with the developers of the PUD regarding the inclusion of the PUD's rendering (misrepresented on 4 different occasions) and development of Ms. Kost's private property (city sewer and fire hydrant). An updated rendering, showing the removal of her parcels, should be provided and submitted to the Planning Commission. If you have them on file, please forward along with documented motions to bring this oversight to the attention of the City's Planning Commission and City Council. You stated this was an 'accident' on behalf of the PUDs developers (Gough, Ashbaugh and Bartley); hence, it should have been rectified, documented and presented to PC for review prior to continuing the PUD's development. If you had documented discussion or letters regarding the 'accident,' I feel they should be made available to the public, forwarded to the PC, placed in city file, and recorded with the County's Registry of Deeds. Some of this information may have been an oversight by Mr. Geisler, your predecessor. Other missing documentation includes the City's alleged supervision, by Mr. Carpenter, of the installation of the city sewer and non-functional hydrant on Ms. Kost's property, as well as the thoroughfare extensions, city sewers utilities along Taylor and Mechanic 'Streets.' If you could clarify what the PUD developers stated as I'm unclear as how the encroachment on the railroad (Amtrak) property's easement and development of railroad property is an 'accident.' Why did the City supervise the installation and improvements on private properties? If you could please provide further information, or an updated rendering from PUD's developers showing the correct placement of the Amtrak high-speed-turn easement, and an outline of actions to rectify the development on Ms. Kost's and Amtrak property, this would certainly show an genuine motion to remedy the PUD's and the City's oversights. From PC training sessions I received, the protocol is to notify the Planning Committee immediately of any and all changes. Please provide your notification (if any) to the Mr. Shoemaker, Chair of the Planning Committee. I would have included him directly within my e-mails; however, I do not have his e-mail address. If your administrative staff could pass on this information so he can immediately notify the Commissioners. During the meeting, you stated I had made direct contact with Mr. Mowitt (Mitt) Drew. You previously stated, I would never hear any response to my concerns from the City's legal counsel regarding the PUD. Hence, I moved forward and requested Councilwoman Messinger to review, and evaluate if she thought the PUD information warranted legal counsel review.
2
My intentions are to avoid placing the City in a vulnerable litigious scenario and to protect future buyers. I am also concerned of the possibility of fraud as mortgages to purchase cottage units are backed by financial institutions, as is the development and improvements of the misrepresented PUD. These institutions are vulnerable to civil litigation and possibly loss of monies. The information provided to any or all lending institutions is false. Only after her review, Ms. Messinger forwarded the letter to Mr. Drew, who then returned her request stating it required City Council approval for Mr. Drew to proceed further. Thank you in advance for providing the requested information and your time in updating the City's files. I look forward to your response. Rubia Jasinevicius
