Wayne OK’s ‘publicity’ tax on residents
Shuttle service offered to Westland market
Inkster library offers programs
City ofWayne officials have taken
a page from the cable networks and
will institute a sort of pay-per-view
program next year----only taxpayers
won't have an option.
City council members approved
the levy of a new millage dedicated
to fund publicity for the city at a
recent meeting. The new charge,
allowed under state law Public Act
359 of 1925 allows a municipality to
approve up to 4mills but not exceed
a total of $50,000 for publicity.
Wayne could not legally levy any
increase in the general operating
millage as the city is currently at the
maximum allowed by law without
voter approval.
Officials said at the meeting that
the new fee, estimated to be about
$4.26 for an average home in Wayne
with a state equalized value of
$31,600, would pay for cable tele-
casts of council meetings, newslet-
ters and the citywebsite.
The annual $14,000 cost for the
taping of the council meetings was
facing elimination from the budget
which remains at a $1 million
deficit for next year.
Councilwoman Susan Rowe sug-
gested at the meeting that City
Manager Joseph Merucci investi-
gate the feasibility ofmoving the city
council meetings to the 29th District
Court where remote controlled
video equipment is available in the
courtroom. Since the damage to the
roof at city hall by heavy snowfall
this winter, council meetings have
been moved to the Wayne
Community Center. The city hall
roof over the council chambers was
determined unsafe by the fire
department, called to city hall to
investigate the source of smoke in
the building. The smoke was caused
by a faulty fan motor but the severe
damage to the roof trusses was dis-
covered during the examination of
the building.
Rowe suggested that a move to
the court building could save costs
for overtime in the Department of
PublicWorks where employees now
operate the cameras used for the
meetings and would also provide
“live streaming” of the meetings
which residents could see in real
time.
The 5th Annual Westland
Farmers' Market will be open from
3-7 p.m. every Thursday through
October, notedMayorWilliamWild.
This year also marks the grand
opening of a new location for the
market starting this month, at
Central City Park, located at the
intersection of Ford Road and
Central City Parkway. Until the mar-
ket building is available at the new
location, it will continue to take
place in the city hall parking lot off
FordRoad as inpast years.
“I look forward to the market's
opening every year because it has
become a celebration of our local
community in Westland - from the
local vendors and rich culture, to
increasingly health-conscious resi-
dents with a commitment to buying
local,” saidWild.
Last year, a program was imple-
mented to provide bus services to
the market from six locations
throughout the city, and that will
continue this year. Every other week
on the second and fourth Thursdays,
there will be entertainment and
activities for the whole family at the
market.
The Westland Chamber of
Commerce will manage the market
for the 2014 season and vendor
applications are still being accepted.
Those interested in becoming a ven-
dor should contact Mary Vellardita
at the Westland Chamber of
Commerce, (734) 326-7222, for fur-
ther information.
In addition to a new location, the
Farmers' Market website is in the
process of integratingwith the newly
re-designed City of Westland web-
site. Residents can also stay up-to-
date on the Market on Facebook, at
www.Facebook.com/WestlandFarme
rsMarket.
“Last year the market was really
able to further its commitment to
customer service, and I think the
new location opening in July will
build on the momentum from last
year,” saidWild. “I am excited to see
the market's continued positive
impact on the community.” Free
rides to the market are now avail-
able to and from the market at vari-
ous times beginning at 2:45 p.m.
Buses will travel to the market
from Adams Senior Village, 1800
Kaley Ave.; Dorsey Community
Center; Greenwood Villa, 7600
Nankin Court; Holliday Park, 34850
Fountain Blvd and Presbyterian
Village, 32111CherryHill.
