Construction of the Pulte Homes resi-
dential development in Westland is now
under way, with a model Nankin Mills
home open on Joy Road east of
NewburghRoad.
Homes are listed at starting at
$277,990 and within the Livonia Public
Schools district. Five designs are
offered.
Construction at Nankin Mills started
inApril 2018 and is on pace now to finish
in late 2019, developers said.
Nankin Mills is approximately 17
acres, with 70 homes planned for the site
on 55-foot by 120-foot sites, said Macey
Kessler, corporate communicationsman-
ager for thePulteGroup.
Kessler said, “Westland is a great loca-
tion to live. With easy access to major
expressways, an abundance of nearby
shopping, dining, entertainment, and (it
is) in a highly desirable school district.”
Westland has also seen development
of homes recently on the east side of
Newburgh Road north of Warren
Avenue, on the former Clyde Smith
Nursery site which was sold to develop-
ers. City and Chamber of Commerce
leaders have praised the growth of home
projects inWestland.
nation, submitted in writing when the
report was first posted on social media,
during the public comments portion of the
meeting. He had not taken his regular seat
at the council meeting. He soundly criti-
cized the release of the contents of the
confidential report and said that revealing
the contents of the investigation offended
himpersonally.
The independent investigator spoke
with 17 people, including employees and
department heads at city hall. In the
report, he said he found no basis for
unsubstantiated claims from a local attor-
ney regarding the behavior of recalled for-
mer City Councilman Christopher
Sanders. That attorney, Scott Ruark, was
active in the recall of Sanders from the
council. Ruark failed to respond to the
request from the investigator for docu-
mentation or corroboration of claims that
Sanders had acted inappropriately or in a
threateningmanner at city hall.
Sanders, now a mayoral candidate,
refused to speak to the investigator or par-
ticipate in the investigation stating in an
earlier interview that he believed his par-
ticipation would be misinterpreted and
misquoted. Sanders also refused com-
ment on Porter's resignation and would
only say that he felt the findings in the
report were very clear as was the recom-
mendation of the investigating attorney.
Ruark was also the attorney who wrote
to city attorney O'Leary-Brassfield and the
members of the city council on behest of
City Manager Lisa Nocerini following the
disclosures in the report. In that emailed
correspondence, Ruark, claiming to rep-
resent Nocerini, said that the report found
no basis for sexual orientation discrimina-
tion and listed multiple accomplishments
Nocerini claims during her tenure in the
position, including the successful applica-
tions for multiple state and federal grants,
securing new businesses, marketing city-
owned properties, negotiating union con-
tracts, reducing the city deficit and imple-
menting newretiree benefit plans.
The letter claims that Nocerini's efforts
have saved the city millions of dollars and
suggests “she believes that it is time to put
this matter behind the City and that she
continue to serve City Council and repre-
sent the City to the best of her ability
through the duration of her current con-
tract, andbeyond.”
The investigator, however, discovered
and reported multiple and serious prob-
lems with Nocerini's management and
administration at city hall. In his report,
the investigator said he found a staff fear-
ful of recriminations and who were sub-
jected to ongoing and overt discriminatory
treatment. Employees reportedly sent the
investigator photos of the city manager
leaving city hall and driving immediately
to the home of a city council member fol-
lowing the investigator's interview ques-
tions. The investigator had been question-
ing the failure of the city manager to fol-
low accepted disciplinary procedures
with regard to a specific employee.
Employees in city hall regarded that
alleged immediate visit as a demonstra-
tion of an attempt to cover up the actions
of a favored employee and clear evidence
that a specific councilman was aiding in
the effort to protect both the administrator
and employee.
The investigator said that thiswas basis
for serious concern as the employees
believe they work in an atmosphere
where the city manager and one council-
man, currently a candidate for mayor, are
aligned so strongly that employees and
department heads have no recourse for
equitable treatment.
At the meeting last week, in his com-
ments, Porter said that he felt that
whichever of the council members posted
the findings of the investigation had failed
to liveup to the oathof office.
third phase of the project converted 2,466
street light fixtures to LED on neighbor-
hood streets throughout the city. The
fourth and final phase will convert the
remaining approximately 840 high pres-
sure sodium lights to energy efficient
LED. The total cost of the fourth phase is
$253,972 and will result in an annual sav-
ings of $64,113, which will allow the city to
recoup 100 percent of the cost in approxi-
mately 4 years, according toWild.
Wild said that the new light poles in the
city Shop and Dine area would be more
decorative and also allow the city to place
decorative banners on the poles. The
poles will also have electric outlets so the
city candecorate themwithholiday lights.
“This project has been a great success
for our Mission: Green Initiative, as
Westlandwill become one of the first com-
munities inWesternWayne County to con-
vert 100 percent of our residential and
commercial streetlights to LED, “ com-
mented Wild. “As a city dedicated to
responsible environmental practices and
sustainability, Westland is constantly striv-
ing to improve upon the safety ofmotorists
and pedestrians who use these thorough-
fares with LED streetlights that use less
energy yet provide for enhanced visibili-
ty.”
