Chuck Curmi there will be a fire services
millage question on the August, 2014 bal-
lot and explaining the procedure of mill-
ages and deadlines. Nomotionwas subse-
quently made by any board member to
place the question on the ballot and no
vote on the millage question took place at
theNov. 13meeting on the tapes. Edwards
stated at that meeting, “Our proposal (for
the fire millage) will come before the
board in December.” There is no record
of such an action.
According to Groth, language of any
ballot proposals for the November
General Election, should have been certi-
fied by either the county or local clerk
and should have been forwarded to the
Wayne County Clerk before Aug. 12. She
said there is a long lead time required to
develop specifications, load require-
ments, hydrant coverage, styles, equip-
ment characteristics and other details
required to build a fire engine or ambu-
lance after the expense is approved. She
said those specifications could add weeks
if not months to the six to nine months
already required to build such equipment
after a supplier is selected and the order
submitted. Groth is the wife of former
Plymouth Township Fire Chief Larry
Groth.
“It was not discussed at the last meet-
ing, nor was there a draft of the appropri-
ate languagewrittenwith the help of legal
counsel and now it won't happen.” Groth
said, listing the appropriate Michigan law
reference number in the bulletin she sent.
“This is another example of our elect-
ed officials failing to meet the promises
they have made…Maybe they will decide
to sell more bonds to cover these costs,
too,” she said, referring to the $1.9 million
in bonds the township sold to fund the
new amphitheater and recreation facili-
ties, a controversial plan that has sparked
citizenprotests.
“What is more important to you,” the
bulletin read, “building the pavilion and
amphitheater against tremendous citizen
outrage or getting the funding in place for
much- needed fire equipment?”
