THE RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF PLYMOUTH, WAYNE
COUNTY, MICHIGAN, AND ANY OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that as a result of Petitions of property owners within the Township signed by the record
owners of land whose front footage constitutes more than 50% of the total front footage of the hereinafter described Special
Assessment District and the Township Board of the Charter Township of Plymouth proposes a road paving project in the
Hunters Creek Subdivision and to create a Special Assessment for the recovery of the cost thereof by Special Assessment
against the properties benefited therein.
Notice is hereby given to all persons interested, that the Board of Trustees of the Charter Township of Plymouth has
tentatively declared its intention to make the hereinafter described improvement:
The proposed improvements to the existing two-lane concrete roadway with integral curb and gutter
shall consist of complete and/or partial pavement and curb replacement, sub-base and subgrade prepa-
ration, and miscellaneous driveway work, sidewalk ramp, drainage structure modification or subgrade
underdrain installation, which may be needed to facilitate the replacement of concrete road pavement
only, or as required by County of Wayne. It is understood that this is primarily a road maintenance
project and therefore any drainage problems existing prior to the project will not be corrected except
where said modification is necessary to protect the life of the road pavement. Existing water problems,
such as standing water, etc., outside of the roadway will not be resolved by this program. It is further
understood that this alternate, if permitted by the County of Wayne, could be subject to special condi-
tions dependent upon the findings of the soils investigation report, existing subsurface conditions, etc.
The project commences at the north right-of-way line of Powell Road, and proceeds northerly and
then westerly along Hunters Creek Drive approximately 2,200 feet to the west limit of SAD (west
limit of Lot 14). The project also includes Hunters Creek Court commencing at the intersection of
Hunters Creek Drive and proceeding westerly approximately 450 feet to its point of termination.
That it has further been tentatively determined that the following described lots and parcels of land will specially benefit from
said improvements and will constitute a Special Assessment District against which the cost of said improvement shall be
assessed:
The district limits for frontage along Hunters Creek Drive and Hunters Creek Court consists of Lots 1
through 10 and Lots 12 through 28 of Hunters Creek Subdivision, all located in the Southeast ¼ of

person at the hearing, or may file an appearance or protest by letter. All parties or agents appearing in person at the hearing for

State Rep. Erika Geiss made a special
visit to Romulus High School during
Legislator to Lunch Week earlier this
month.
Giess visited the school Feb. 19,
prompted by Romulus Community
Schools Food Service Director Kathleen
Norred. The School Nutrition Association
of Michigan encourages the partnership
between schools and government officials
in an effort to establish an on-going rela-
tionship for dialog around the issue of
childnutritionprograms.
During the four lunch periods at
Romulus High School, Geiss was able to
speak with students about the variety of
healthy lunch options that are offered, in
addition to being engaged in their commu-
nity.
“I loved the visit to Romulus High
School. It is a great way to interact with
students and to hear about some of their
concerns and future goals. We need to
ensure that funding is secure in our public
schools so that students have nutritional
options,”Geiss said.
Romulus High School offers multiple
food stations on a daily basis that include
lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables,
andmade-to-order deli sandwiches.
“This provides us an opportunity to dis-
pel rumors of what some believe school
lunch is. It allows us to highlight the
healthy meal options we offer our stu-
dents and provides insight to the public,”
Norred said.
In addition to sharing lunch with Geiss,
Norred was also able to show her the
Romulus Community Schools lunch
mobile app, which features daily lunch
menus and nutritional facts at
-
lus.nutrislice.com.

A park expansion project may high-
light the work completed under the
2016/2017 Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program in
Romulus.
Members of the city council unani-
mously approved about $170,000 in
expenditures for the 2016/2017 program
during their regular meeting last week.
It's about the same amount as the city
had available last year, according to Tim
Keyes, development director for the City
of Romulus.
The Community Development Block
Grants are federal funds available
through the Housing and Urban
Development department. They are
administered through Wayne County,
and available to pay for programs or
projects that directly benefit low to mod-
erate income families or provide funding
to improve areas where 51 percent of the
residents are in the low to moderate
income bracket. The funds are typically
used for everything from infrastructure
improvements, recreation projects to
upgrading deteriorating houses or meet-
ing the needs of elderly or disabled resi-
dents.
The $170,000 is an estimate at this
point, according to Keyes. The city can
spend 10 percent - about $17,000 - on
administration and 15 percent - about
$25,200 - on services for senior citizens.
"The rest of it we try to match up with
projects in the city," saidKeyes.
The city has allocated $5,000 for hous-
ing rehabilitation, $73,600 for demolition
or remediation of blighted areas and
about $52,500 for parks and recreation
facilities, according toKeyes.
"We're not building any new parks;
we're hoping to expand on one of our
existing parks," he said.
A youth sports basketball tourna-
ment is headed for the Booker
Dozier Recreation Complex in

the group. The tournament will also
