Under state law, the CWW coordinates
one of four 911 Service Districts within
Wayne County. As a large number of resi-
dents use text messaging for various com-
munications, officials of the 18 CWW com-
munities began working in 2015 to test and
implement new technology to allow text
messages to local 911 emergency centers
when seeking help or to report emergen-
cies.
“The Canton Public Safety Department
is eager to be a part of this newE/911 initia-
tive, providing an alternate method of con-
tact for citizens to request police, fire and
emergency medical services. Our staff has
been trained and is ready to start accepting
requests for service via text message,” said
ToddL. Mutchler, director of CantonPublic
Safety.
Text-to-911 is an important new service
that offers citizens who are deaf, hard of
hearing, or have a speech disability, a new
way to contact emergency services. Other
examples of a citizen needing text-to-911
service could include domestic violence,
kidnapping and other situations where vic-
tims need a way to call for helpwithout tip-
ping off a criminal during the commission
of a crime, officials said.
“Our 18 communities did something you
don't hear much about these days-we
worked together to benefit everyone. We
work tirelessly to grow Western Wayne
County and provide our citizens with the
best services possible. And as a region we
chose to combine our efforts to bring this
new access to 911 to our 700,000 residents,
100,000 businesses and all those who travel
through and work in our communities
every day. Public safety is the first priority
of local government and the CWW prides
itself on protecting our citizens,” Wild said
whenmaking the announcement.
Howdoes it work?
Anyone who is within the borders of the
18 CWW communities can use the service,
as long as they have a texting planwith one
of the four major carriers: AT&T, Sprint, T-
Mobile or Verizon. The service is activated
by sending a text on a mobile phone to 911.
That text message will be routed to the
nearest CWW 911 dispatch center for
action.
At the current time, the rest of Wayne
County does not have text-to-911 service,
although some neighboring counties such
as Oakland and Macomb have fully imple-
mented text-to-911. If the texter is in an
area that does not support text-to-911, they
will receive a “bounce-back” message
informing them911 is not available via text.
Officials emphasized that text-to-911 is a
complement to calling 911, not a replace-
ment, because voice calls to 911 are still the
most efficient way to communicate with
public safety officials in an emergency situ-
ation.
Communities affected by the new serv-
ice include the cities of Belleville,
Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Garden City,
Inkster, Livonia, Northville, Plymouth,
Romulus, Wayne and Westland, and the
townships of Canton, Huron, Northville,
Plymouth, Redford, Sumpter and Van
Buren.

Township upon the tax roll for each year while any of the Bonds shall be outstanding an amount such that the estimated collec-
tions therefrom will be sufficient to pay promptly at maturity the principal and interest maturing on the Bonds prior to the time
of the following year’s tax collections. Taxes required to be levied to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be subject
to constitutional, statutory and charter tax limitations. The proceeds of such taxes (both current and delinquent) shall be deposit-
ed as collected into a debt retirement fund that shall be established and maintained for the Bonds as either a separate or a com-
mon fund as permitted by law, and until the principal of and the interest on the Bonds are paid in full, such proceeds shall be used
only for payment of such principal and interest or for other authorized purposes of the fund. The amounts to pay principal of and
interest on the Bonds as described in this section can be derived from Township water and sewer rates and charges. To the extent
that the Township has funds lawfully available from water and sewer rates and charges at the time of making its annual tax levy
for payment of principal or interest, the annual levy for such purpose shall be adjusted to reflect such available funds. ESTI-
MATES OF PERIOD OF USEFULNESS AND COST. The estimated period of usefulness of the Project for which the Bonds
are to be issued is hereby determined to be thirty (30) years and upwards, and the estimated cost of the Project in the amount of
not less than $8,500,000 as submitted to this Township Board is hereby approved and adopted. USE OF BOND PROCEEDS –
CONSTRUCTION FUND. From the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds there shall be set aside in the debt retirement fund any
accrued interest received from the purchaser at the time of delivery of the Bonds and such portion of any premium received from
the purchaser at such time as determined by the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor. Thereafter, $8,500,000 of the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, or such lesser amount as determined by the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor,
shall be set aside in a construction fund and used to pay the costs of issuing the Bonds allocated to the Project and to acquire and
construct the Project. The allocation of issuance and other costs and any premium and discount from the sale of the Bonds to the
Project and to the refunding of the Prior Bonds shall be determined by Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor. PAY-
MENT OF COSTS OF ISSUANCE - ESCROW FUND. The remainder of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used to pay the
costs of issuance of the Bonds allocated to the refunding of the Prior Bonds and to refund the Prior Bonds maturing in the years
determined by order of the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor (the “Prior Bonds To Be Refunded”). After the costs
of issuance have been paid or provided for the remaining proceeds shall be used, together with such amounts transferred from
the principal and interest fund for the Prior Bonds and any other available funds of the Township in such amounts as determined
by the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor, to establish an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) consisting of cash and
investments in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the
United States of America or other obligations the principal of and interest on which are fully secured by the foregoing and used
to pay the principal of, interest on and redemption premiums, if any, on the Prior Bonds To Be Refunded. The Escrow Fund shall
be held by an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), which irrevoca-
bly shall direct the Escrow Agent to take all necessary steps to pay the principal of and interest on the Prior Bonds To Be
Refunded when due and to call such Prior Bonds To Be Refunded at redemption at such time as shall be determined in the Escrow
Agreement. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor is authorized to select the Escrow Agent and enter into the
Escrow Agreement on behalf of the Township. The amounts held in the Escrow Fund shall be such that the cash and the invest-
ments and the income received on the investments will be sufficient without reinvestment to pay the principal of, interest on and
redemption premiums, if any, on the Prior Bonds when due at maturity or call for redemption as required by the Escrow
Agreement. DEFEASANCE. In the event cash or direct obligations of the United States or obligations the principal of and inter-
est on which are guaranteed by the United States, or a combination thereof, the principal of and interest on which, without rein-
vestment, come due at times and in amounts sufficient to pay, at maturity or irrevocable call for earlier optional redemption, the
principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on all or any portion of the Bonds, shall have been deposited in trust, this
resolution shall be defeased and the owners of the Bonds shall have no further rights under this resolution except to receive pay-
ment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds from the cash or securities deposited in trust and
the interest and gains thereon and to transfer and exchange Bonds as provided herein. APPROVAL OF DEPARTMENT OF
TREASURY. The issuance and sale of the Bonds shall be subject to the Township obtaining qualified status or prior approval
from the Department of Treasury of the State of Michigan pursuant to Act 34 and, if necessary, the Director of Finance and
Budget or the Supervisor is authorized and directed to make application to the Department of Treasury for approval to issue and
sell the Bonds as provided by the terms of this resolution and by Act 34. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor
is authorized to pay any filing fees required in connection with obtaining qualified status or prior approval from the Department
of Treasury. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor is further authorized to request such waivers of the require-
ments of the Department of Treasury or Act 34 as the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor shall determine to be
necessary or desirable in connection with the sale of the Bonds. SALE, ISSUANCE, DELIVERY, TRANSFER AND
EXCHANGE OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be sold pursuant to a negotiated sale in accordance with Act 34. It is hereby deter-
mined that such negotiated sale is in the best interests of the Township and is calculated to provide maximum flexibility in the
pricing of the Bonds so as to achieve sufficient debt service savings with respect to the Prior Bonds and the lowest cost of bor-
rowing funds for the Project. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor is authorized to negotiate a bond purchase
agreement with Fifth Third Securities, Inc. and any co-managing or other underwriters to be selected by the Director of Finance
and Budget or the Supervisor at or prior to the time of the sale of the Bonds (collectively, the “Underwriter”). Such bond pur-
chase agreement shall set forth the principal amount, principal maturities and dates, interest rates and interest payment dates,
redemption provisions and purchase price to be paid by the Underwriter with respect to the Bonds, as well as such other terms
and provisions as the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor determines to be necessary or appropriate in connection
with the sale of the Bonds. The Supervisor, the Clerk, the Treasurer, the Director of Finance and Budget and other appropriate
officials of the Township are authorized to do all things necessary to effectuate the sale, issuance, delivery, transfer and exchange
of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. In making the determination in the order authorizing the sale
of the Bonds and in the bond purchase agreement with respect to principal maturities and dates, interest rates, purchase price of
the Bonds and compensation to be paid to the Underwriter, the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor shall be limit-
ed as follows: (a) The interest rate on any Bond shall not exceed 5% per annum. (b) The final maturity date of the Bonds shall
not be later than April 1, 2027. (c) The Bonds shall be sold at a price not less than 97.50% of the par value of the Bonds. (d) The
Underwriter’s discount with respect to the Bonds shall not exceed 0.5% of the principal amount of the Bonds. REPLACEMENT
OF BONDS. Upon receipt by the Supervisor of proof of ownership of an unmatured Bond, of satisfactory evidence that the Bond
has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken and of security or indemnity that complies with applicable law and is
satisfactory to the Supervisor, the Supervisor may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to deliver a new executed Bond
to replace the Bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event an outstand-
ing matured Bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Supervisor may authorize the bond registrar and paying
agent to pay the Bond without presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation required for the delivery of a replace-
ment Bond. The bond registrar and paying agent, for each new Bond delivered or paid without presentation as provided above,
shall require the payment of expenses, including counsel fees, which may be incurred by the bond registrar and paying agent and
the Township in the premises. Any Bond delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond lost, apparent-
ly destroyed or wrongfully taken shall be of the same form and tenor and be secured in the same manner as the Bond in substi-
tution for which such Bond was delivered. TAX COVENANT. The Township covenants to comply with all applicable require-
ments of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), necessary to assure that the interest on the Bonds will be
and will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Supervisor, the Clerk, the Treasurer, the
Director of Finance and Budget and other appropriate officials of the Township are authorized to do all things necessary (includ-
ing the making of such covenants of the Township as shall be appropriate) to assure that the interest on the Bonds will be and
will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. NOT QUALIFIED TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS.
The Bonds are not designated as “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations” as described in Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Code.. OFFI-
CIAL STATEMENT. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor is authorized to cause the preparation of an official
statement for the Bonds for the purpose of enabling compliance with Rule 15c2-12 issued under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Rule”), and to do all other things necessary to enable compliance with the Rule. After the award of the
Bonds, the Township will provide copies of a “final official statement” (as defined in paragraph (e)(3) of the Rule) on a timely
basis and in reasonable quantity as requested by the Underwriter to enable the Underwriter to comply with paragraph (b)(4) of
the Rule and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE. The Director of Finance
and Budget or the Supervisor is authorized to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of the Township (i) a certificate of
the Township to comply with the requirements for a continuing disclosure undertaking of the Township pursuant to subsection
(b)(5) of the Rule and (ii) amendments to such certificate from time to time in accordance with the terms of such certificate (the
certificate and any amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein as the “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”). The
Township hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure
Certificate. The remedies for any failure of the Township to comply with and carry out the provisions of the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate shall be as set forth therein. BOND INSURANCE. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor

Township. If the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor makes such a determination, the purchase of a policy or poli-
cies and the payment of premiums therefor and the execution by the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor of any
necessary commitments or other documents with respect thereto are hereby authorized. APPOINTMENTS. Dickinson Wright
