Councilman wins ‘Main Street’ fund battle
Local couple set to buy historic Plymouth Post Office
Council sees preliminary plans for new city hall
It took him two meetings and
much public discussion, but Wayne
City Councilman John Rhaesa was
finally successful in his efforts to
find funding for the Michigan Main
Street program.
The state program is designed to
help communitieswith the redevel-
opment of downtown areas and
The Ripple Effect, a volunteer
group in the city dedicated to
improvement of the downtown,
won acceptance into the program
from the state. Rhaesa is amember
of The Ripple Effect and had pro-
posed $18,000 in funding for the
group at a Downtown
Development Authority (DDA)
meeting last month. The $18,000,
according to Rhaesa and other
members of the group, wouldmake
the city eligible for matching grant
funds and several other state grants
and services which could total as
much as $200,000 to help improve-
ments in the downtown area.
Rhaesa had proposed that the
$18,000 be taken froma line item in
the budget dedicated to demoli-
tion/acquisition. His motion failed
last month after Mayor Al Haidous
spoke against the proposal.
Haidous said he did not favor
allocating any fund to the Ripple
Effect, or any other group, until the
voters decided the 7-mill tax to
fund public safety retirement bene-
fits that will be on the November
ballot. Haidous also suggested that
amendments to the budget could
bemade after that vote.
Last week, Rhaesa also ques-
tioned the transfer of $459,000 DDA
funding into the city general fund.
“I don't see that the DDA has a
plan or a vision for the future,” he
said.” The DDA is supposed to be
development something. It doesn't
make sense putting the DDA
money into the general fund.”
Rhaesa was joined by
Councilman James Hawley and
Councilwoman Pam Dobrowolski
in requesting detailed information
on the use of the DDA funding and
the line itembudget.
Haidous said that the funding in
question was being used to acquire
buildings from tax foreclosure
sales and demolishing them to
make roomfor development.
Haidous also cited needed
repairs at the city Goudy Park
amphitheater as reasons to
approve the budget as presented,
without the allocation for The
Ripple Effect or another $10,000 in
funding suggested for the city
library.
Haidous also reminded the
council members that theMichigan
Main Street program requires a
five-year commitment, something
he said the city could not guarantee
in light of the current budget situa-
tion.
The motion to approve the DDA
budget failed, with Dobrowolski,
Hawley andRhaesa casting the dis-
senting votes. The motion to
approve the Main Street and
library allocations was approved
with Councilman SkipMonit voting
with Dobrowolski, Hawley and
Rhaesa.
The historic downtown
PlymouthPost Office building has
been sold, although the new own-
ershiphas not yet been finalized.
Plymouth residents Mark and
Patty Malcolm told the members
of the Plymouth City Commission
during their regular meeting last
week that they signed a contract
with the United States Postal
Service for the purchase of the
building at 860 Penniman about
twoweeks ago.
The sale has not been final-
ized.
“It's unclear when sale will be
finalized,” Mark Malcolm said.
“The earliest time is probably
October, but it might not be until
early next year. The relocation of
the post office will be the main
determinant in timing.”
The post office is relocating to
a former convenience store site at
the corner of Penniman and
Harvey, a very short distance
fromthe current site.
“Regarding historical preser-
vation, our contract with USPS
ensures that the mural will
remain in place for the ongoing
enjoyment of residents and visi-
tors,” Malcolm said. “We also
have an agreement that existing
and original features such as
brass mailboxes, wood paneling
and even the stamp table in the
lobby will be included in the sale.
We will attempt to incorporate as
much as the historical character
as possible into the building's
future use.”
Malcolmalso said that the cou-
ple is not sure of the use or tenant
for the building. He said that the
remodeling and renovations will
have to be approved by the State
Historic Office. That office has
agreed to place the property on
the National Register of Historic
Places, according toMalcolm
“In terms of tenants and uses
we would hope to attract to add
value to the community, nothing
is yet arranged,”Malcolmsaid.
“Our lowest priority at this
time is a bar or a restaurant. No
disrespect intended to the city's
existing bars and restaurants, but
we believe it is not what the com-
munity needs in this building at
this time. Our personal top pref-
erence is a gourmet market. It
wouldn't be helpful to speculate
at this early date on who could fit
that bill, maybemore importantly,
whether we could recruit such a
business to this location, but
we're going to try,” he said at the
meeting.
Plans for the new Westland
City Hall include more room for
audience members in the City
Council chambers, lots of win-
dows, public meeting rooms and
computer kiosks for tax assess-
ment andbill payments.
Members of the Westland City
Council are currently reviewing
preliminary plans for the renova-
tion and retrofitting of the 64,000
square foot building on Warren
Road which previously housed a
Circuit City store. The current
plan is to have the new facility
completed by October of 2014,
according to city officials.
Plans presented to the council
members are still in the design
phase but show floor to ceiling
windows at the main entrance
and on the west side in the meet-
ing rooms. The public meeting
rooms will be available for public
use and include an adjacent
warming kitchen.
The new plan features some
changes in current job responsi-
bilities, too, as the city clerk and
finance department will share a
work space and counter. This will
allow for clerical staff members
to work in a large common area
and be cross trained to help citi-
zens visiting the building.
Seating in the city council
chambers will be increased and
the chairs will be stationary
rather than temporary. Seating at
the council table will increase to
accommodate at least 14, accord-
ing to the preliminary plan.
The new building will accom-
modate not only the current
departments but include the
Department of Public Service
administrative offices, the office
of economic development, the
planning and building depart-
ment the city cable television
operation and even the Youth
Assistance program.
Plans also include large stor-
age areas for records and equip-
ment and is designed, officials
said, to be energy efficient and
handicap accessible.
The new city hall and a new $3
million fire station will be
financed through a Tax
Increment Finance Authority dis-
trict which allows the community
to capture the tax from specific
boundary areas to fund local
improvements.
