[1:59]
» Madam Chair, move to receive and file
the August 4th, 2026 primary election
[2:03]
update.
>> Support.
[2:05]
» Okay, any discussion or do you want to
go over it a little bit?
[2:07]
» I I just want to say that, you know, uh
we had a very high, rather unusually
[2:13]
high, voter turnout for this election.
Um I have some historical on the back
[2:20]
page. Um we had a 44% voter turnout,
which was very nice. It is the highest
[2:25]
August voter turnout.
Um
[2:29]
ever, so that was pretty interesting. I
don't know why. Um we did have one
[2:34]
major, very significant, event occurred
during the election. Our QVF, which is
[2:40]
the qualified voter file that holds all
the election
[2:44]
uh election information of every voter
that is run by the state, went down for
[2:49]
45 minutes in the evening on election
day, which means we were unable to
[2:54]
register voters during this time period
and check absentee ballots and do other
[2:59]
election administration stuff. Um we did
My office handled it like a champ. They
[3:05]
They worked really hard, and the
election workers,
[3:08]
uh
you know, were
[3:11]
working with voters as as much as we can
without having access to the system. Um
[3:16]
the state says that they are working on
a
[3:19]
permanent fix, but we shall see about
that. Um
[3:23]
everything else pretty much went
smoothly, um but like I said, we had an
[3:28]
unusually high voter turnout. Um
every election after the election, just
[3:33]
so the new board members know, I do
write this little memo out, so you can
[3:37]
capture and see how early voting was
versus absentee and in-person voting. Um
[3:44]
and I think it's just some useful
information to have, so um I do want to
[3:49]
thank uh Deputy Clerk Mert or
>> Keller.
[3:54]
» Still to this day, Keller for all the
work that she does during elections.
[3:59]
It's truly outstanding. And of course,
my staff. And you know, many thanks to
[4:04]
all the election inspectors who, you
know,
[4:07]
uh I know my staff and I put in about 18
hours in a day and
[4:11]
uh it it is makes for a very long day.
And so, I really appreciate all that
[4:16]
everybody does to make sure that
elections run smoothly. Thank you.
[4:20]
» And I'd like to say from the um county
side, my previous job before this, that
[4:24]
Pittsfield is extremely well run and
lends themselves to be an early voting
[4:28]
spot for multiple jurisdictions,
um helping out the surrounding areas.
[4:32]
So, thank you for that.
>> Thank you.
[4:35]
» Okay.
All in favor?
[4:37]
» Aye.
>> Opposed? All right. It is recorded. It
[4:40]
will be filed and received.
Um may I please have a motion for 9.2?
[4:45]
» Madam Chair, move to approve the
purchase of a 2013 Pierce platform fire
[4:49]
truck from Garage Technologies
Incorporated at a cost not to exceed
[4:54]
$670,000,
subject to the Township Attorney
[4:58]
approval.
>> Second.
[5:00]
» Okay, discussion. We do have our um
fire chief and our director of public
[5:04]
safety to come on up and give us a
little background.
[5:07]
» Thank you. Uh good evening.
Um th- this purchase
[5:11]
I was hoping to have a a better update
for you tonight from the insurance claim
[5:14]
that we that we had on the 2020 from the
2011 platform that was damaged in 2024.
[5:20]
Um the insurance claim is complete, but
it is still under review, so we don't
[5:24]
know how much money we're going to
receive in that claim yet. Um we will be
[5:27]
working closely with the finance
director. If we don't reach a certain
[5:29]
threshold, though, we will we would not
make this purchase. So, um it understand
[5:34]
that I want to make sure that you know
that full disclosure. We don't have that
[5:37]
dollar amount and that the the due date
for this purchase is Friday. So, if we
[5:41]
don't have that number from the
insurance company by Friday,
[5:43]
um we will have we will get past.
>> Our finance director, we're working on
[5:47]
our budget for next year and we're we're
looking at the numbers and so there's a
[5:50]
threshold that has to be made in order
to us to be able to do this. So, but we
[5:53]
want to be able not be able to stop it
for if we can go forward to vote on it
[5:57]
tonight, but again, if we don't hit the
insurance claim, we will not do it.
[6:01]
» Correct.
>> Any questions?
[6:05]
Okay.
All in favor?
[6:07]
» Aye.
>> Opposed? Okay, here we go. We'll do
[6:10]
that.
Um, may I please have a motion for 9.3?
[6:14]
» Madam Chair, move to approve the ESO
subscription renewal for the fire
[6:17]
department for report writing, EMS data
collection, fire inspection reporting,
[6:23]
training documentation, and scheduling
at a cost not to exceed $23,397.50.
[6:30]
» Second.
>> Okay, um, again, it's going to be sort
[6:33]
of like the the public safety show for a
little bit. So, if you want to give us a
[6:37]
little background while you're up here.
>> So, I I'll let the fire chief speak to
[6:39]
the ESO.
>> we'd love to have the
[6:41]
» Yeah, so this is this is like our
lifeline. This is how we operate um, on
[6:46]
the back end. So, report writing, all of
our um,
[6:49]
inspections that we do on all our
businesses within the township is
[6:51]
documented. Our scheduling for our
staff, um,
[6:56]
training, all of that is the component
of this uh, programming. So, it's a um,
[7:02]
annual subscription and we're just uh,
asking for the renewal.
[7:07]
» Any questions on this?
All in favor?
[7:10]
» Aye.
>> Opposed? All right.
[7:13]
It's approved and we'll ask for a motion
for 9.4.
[7:17]
» Madam Chair, move to authorize the
supervisor and clerk to sign a contract
[7:20]
change order 12 with BlueScope
Construction at a cost not to exceed
[7:24]
$21,394
[7:27]
for the public safety facility
improvement project subject to the
[7:31]
township attorney approval.
>> Second.
[7:33]
» Okay, and we do want to talk a little
about this. Um, I know Director Gray and
[7:36]
I have talked about this per Trustee
Breback's comment at the last meeting,
[7:41]
which really
made us stop and and think that really
[7:44]
it it should come back to the board. We
have approved a bright blanket amount.
[7:49]
We keep coming back with sort of um
transparency information, but to keep
[7:54]
you updated where we're at and why
change orders are coming in. Um Director
[7:58]
Gray is kind of kind of go through the
next couple of things and explain it to
[8:01]
the board, so everybody's kind of
informed, not just saying yes to
[8:03]
everything blindly.
>> Right. And going into this project, I I
[8:07]
Yes, we wanted to address the concerns,
and it's it's an understandable
[8:10]
question. Part of the way that we
started this project with the budget
[8:14]
that we had or didn't have, um certain
selections were made, certain choices
[8:18]
were made that really um was kind of
kicking the can down the road, and
[8:21]
somebody's going to have to deal with
this later, and so we're dealing with it
[8:24]
now. Um I did meet with the finance
director, and Kurt Weiland and I met
[8:28]
compared all numbers, and we are still
well within budget. So, I just We knew
[8:32]
that some of these things would happen.
Anytime you're renovating an old
[8:35]
building, you're going to discover
certain things. Um and there was also
[8:39]
certain concerns with decisions that
were made early that really you'll when
[8:43]
we get to that portion or those
portions, you'll you'll understand. Um
[8:46]
we
We can't We don't want to move forward
[8:49]
without doing this right.
>> an architect involved in the beginning.
[8:52]
» Correct.
>> Which is going to cause problems later
[8:54]
on.
>> Right. And And some of the times that
[8:56]
I'm coming to you and asking for
different things, the the reason we're
[9:00]
doing that is in an effort to save
money. If we would have done some of
[9:02]
these projects through Blue Scope, um
and not done them on our own through
[9:06]
Vance and O'Brien, um the markup would
have been significantly higher. So, it
[9:11]
it's it's causing me to come to you and
ask a bunch of times versus one big
[9:15]
bill, but that one big bill would have
been significantly higher had we not
[9:18]
done it this way. So.
>> And we are still waiting on um the
[9:22]
release of funds from HUD, so we're just
watching all of that diligently as well
[9:27]
to see if we can reimburse ourselves for
any of this or, you know, use it for
[9:30]
other things, but we are within budget
um of the the
[9:34]
» for the The
>> project.
[9:36]
» Yes.
Also, things like furniture
[9:38]
um an antenna that the for radio
communications. So, I'll be I'll be
[9:42]
coming back with some other things, but
that was done intentionally. Had we done
[9:44]
it all through the construction company,
it would have been 20% markup on all of
[9:48]
those things. So.
And so, I do have several
[9:52]
» And and there questions you have to take
the questions too. Please feel free.
[9:55]
» I have several that I
>> Or do you want to go wait to go through
[9:57]
all this and ask at the end? That's
fine, too.
[9:59]
» Right. Like I said, I was going to ask
do you want me to just work through each
[10:01]
one and then call them or do you want to
call them and I'll work through them
[10:04]
individually?
>> Yeah, I'll call these and then we'll
[10:06]
work through them individually.
>> Okay.
[10:08]
So, this one's change order number 12.
This is for sightline issues. So,
[10:13]
similarly, without an architect, certain
things were
[10:16]
in construction, certain walls and doors
were placed in places that created
[10:20]
sightline issues. One of them is the
east end of the men's and women's locker
[10:23]
room for the police department. From the
hallway and really from both locker
[10:27]
rooms, you can see directly into the
locker room. So, we have some sightline
[10:30]
issues that need to be corrected. That's
That's change order 12.
[10:35]
» Any questions on that?
Okay. All in favor?
[10:39]
Opposed?
Okay. Can we please ask for a motion for
[10:42]
the 9.5?
>> Madam Chair, I move to authorize the
[10:44]
supervisor and clerk to sign contract
change order number 13 with Blue Scope
[10:49]
Construction at a cost not to exceed
$20,503
[10:53]
for the Public Safety Facility
Improvement Project subject to the
[10:57]
Township Attorney approval.
>> Second.
[11:00]
» Okay.
>> So,
[11:01]
our contract change order 13 is involves
drainage from the sally port. So, the
[11:06]
last fire bay on the south end of the
building will be left as a bay for
[11:11]
police vehicles to drive through. And if
we have an arrestee, you can bring them
[11:13]
in in a secure location. There's a
There's floor drains in that that sally
[11:18]
port that run to an oil water separator.
That way, you don't pollute the Yeah.
[11:23]
So, that oil water separator is actually
in a location where an office will be.
[11:27]
So, we need to remove that. We need to,
you know, put new new in and put in a
[11:31]
new oil water separator.
[11:34]
» Okay, any questions on that?
Okay, all in favor?
[11:37]
» Aye.
>> Opposed?
[11:39]
All right, may I please ask for a motion
for 9.6.
[11:43]
» Madam Chair, move to authorize the
supervisor and clerk to sign a contract
[11:46]
change order number 14 with BlueScope
Construction at a cost not to exceed
[11:51]
$156,208
[11:54]
for the public safety facility
improvement project, subject to the
[11:57]
township attorney approval.
>> Second.
[12:01]
» So, this is this is one of the um blind
spots that when we were doing the the
[12:06]
original planning,
um decisions were made about
[12:09]
construction materials.
Um and I think it had more to do with an
[12:13]
oversight. It's a lot It's a large
project. Um but concerns about those
[12:17]
materials when we when we were looking
at the plans more closely, um the
[12:21]
holding cells were built with drywall um
and steel studs, but drywall, similar to
[12:25]
a office space. The doors in that space
were wood doors and not steel solid
[12:30]
doors. Um really in an effort to to make
that space safe both for staff and for
[12:35]
any arrestees. It It really should have
been done with masonry walls, um solid
[12:40]
doors, and then um
stainless steel like jail grade uh uh
[12:45]
toilets and fixtures.
[12:48]
» Okay, any questions on that?
Okay, all in favor?
[12:53]
» Aye.
>> Opposed? Okay, that's passed. If we
[12:55]
could ask authorized
uh for a motion for 9.7.
[13:00]
» Madam Chair, move to authorize the
supervisor and clerk to sign a contract
[13:03]
change order number 15 with BlueScope
Construction at a cost not to exceed
[13:08]
$17,917
for the public safety facility
[13:13]
improvement project, subject to the
township attorney approval.
[13:16]
» Second.
>> Um so, contract change order 15, uh it
[13:21]
involves the There's a a bathroom on the
west end of the building that is
[13:25]
remaining, and there's another bathroom
that's going to be added. The sewer line
[13:29]
from that
from that restroom is will be the would
[13:33]
be the last of the old
pipes from the building. And we're find
[13:38]
we found a construction found that the
condition of those sewer lines was
[13:42]
was found to be inadequate. They were
lacking proper pitch and the pipes were
[13:45]
deteriorating. So
they're looking to tie into the new
[13:50]
sewer line with this change order.
>> Any questions or discussion?
[13:56]
All in favor?
>> I.
[13:57]
» Opposed?
All right, that's authorized. May I
[14:00]
please ask for a motion for 9.8?
>> Madam Chair, move to authorize the
[14:04]
supervisor and clerk to sign a contract
change order number 16 with Blue Scope
[14:08]
Construction at a cost not to exceed
$14,124
[14:13]
for the public safety facility
improvement project subject to the
[14:17]
township attorney approval.
[14:21]
» Second.
>> Thank you.
[14:23]
» Thank you. Change order 16 involves
efficiency of use of space but then also
[14:28]
safety and safety and and security
matter. So we we discovered that if we
[14:33]
if we if we could create an extra
interview a soft interview room in the
[14:37]
main hallway off of the lobby,
we could both do soft interviews where
[14:42]
it's you know doesn't necessarily need
to be in a in a secure lockup area and
[14:45]
also we could do court ordered
fingerprints or even fingerprints of an
[14:48]
offender. Say if we have a juvenile
offender, we can fingerprint them there
[14:51]
without having to bring them into a
lockup where another offender may be. So
[14:55]
having a separate place to do
fingerprints but then also a separate
[14:58]
private place to do an interview was the
intent. So adding a wall, moving a wall
[15:04]
and then adding another wall in a much
larger office which then creates two
[15:08]
office spaces. So we're trying to you
know maximize the amount of use that we
[15:11]
can get out of the building. So that's
what change order those were change
[15:15]
order 16 were for.
>> Any questions or discussion?
[15:20]
All in favor?
>> I.
[15:22]
» Opposed?
Okay, that's authorized. May I please
[15:25]
have a motion for 9.8?
[15:31]
Did we just do that one? Is that the
last one? All right.
[15:35]
9.9, sorry. My glasses were off and I
didn't see that. I was like, oh, yep,
[15:38]
that it is. 9.9, please.
>> Okay, Madam Chair, I move to authorize
[15:42]
the supervisor and clerk to sign a
contract change order number 17 with
[15:46]
BlueScope Construction at a cost not to
exceed $25,690
[15:52]
for the public safety facility
improvement project subject to the
[15:56]
Township attorney approval.
>> Second.
[15:59]
» Thank you. Uh, change order 17 is uh
kind of one of the goes goes along with
[16:04]
doing, you know, renovation on an old
building, you're going to discover
[16:07]
things and the construction company has
found that there was inadequate
[16:10]
insulation within the the the attic of
the building and that several holes were
[16:14]
found uh in the existing drywall where
they meet the uh attic. So, um
[16:19]
in order to get the uh achieve R-49,
they're going to need to blow in uh add
[16:23]
in blown-in uh insulation. Additionally,
while doing that, uh we're looking to
[16:27]
add four solar tubes, which are similar
to skylights, but they're not actually
[16:32]
skylights, to bring some natural light
into locations where people are working
[16:35]
and and these happen to be places where
people work all day. They're not
[16:38]
officers going out on the road. These
are spots where detectives and records
[16:41]
people are working to bring some natural
light into that location.
[16:45]
» Okay. Any discussions or questions on
this or anything else? I think this is
[16:48]
the end of the director public safety
show. Um so, if you have any questions
[16:53]
about the project in general, uh and
then um our project manager, Kurt
[16:56]
Wyland, is also here if you have any
questions
[16:59]
further.
>> Um Director Gray, do are we still on
[17:02]
track for completion in
I don't remember when when that is going
[17:08]
to be.
>> So, truly optimistic answer to that is
[17:11]
sometime in December or January.
>> Okay.
[17:13]
» Uh but I could I I foresee it being
March or April.
[17:16]
» Yeah. And course, if they say December,
you say March or April. And depending on
[17:20]
how the HUD money money gets released,
whether or not we can incorporate that
[17:24]
or have to do another project or how we
figure that out, it may be extended to a
[17:27]
different phase or that sort of thing.
We we don't know yet.
[17:29]
» And really, once that was signed, as
long as we do it right or we the
[17:33]
purchases purchases that we make are
done under the the rules of the HUD
[17:37]
grant, we can retro with some of that
those funds, too. And that would then
[17:41]
bring the bond money back to the
township.
[17:43]
» Which would be helpful, yes.
Okay.
[17:46]
Thank you.
>> We will definitely do a celebration
[17:48]
» [snorts]
>> when that's all said and done. So. All
[17:50]
in favor?
>> Aye.
[17:52]
» Opposed? All right. Thank you so much.
>> Thank you so much.
[17:56]
» And may I please have a motion for 9.10?
>> Madam Chair, move to authorize the
[18:00]
supervisor and clerk to enter into an
easement agreement with Jamie DeFlorio
[18:06]
of
1479 Cobblestone Court establishing an
[18:10]

>> Second.
[18:17]

[18:48]

[20:40]
Madam Chair,
I'd like to share a summary of action
[20:44]
which is August 6th, 2026 Planning

[20:48]

[20:53]
the data center zoning regulation to the
Township board with the following
[20:58]

Address the issue of flooding.
[21:02]
Add the word quality

[21:07]

[21:13]
The Planning Commission held a public
hearing and voted to approve the
[21:17]
resolution
of approval for CUP 26-05,
[21:24]
the World Golf Club with following

[21:28]

The Planning Commission voted to approve
[21:34]
the resolution of approval for CSPA
24-11
[21:39]
and RZ 24-02,
Sam's Club fuel expansion.
[21:45]
The next meeting will be held 20th,
August 20th, 2026.
[21:51]
Thank you.
>> And um so as um Trustee um
[21:56]
uh Jeffer said,
at the Planning Commission meeting, we
[21:59]
had a good attendance. Um it was very
nice to see a lot of residents come out,
[22:03]
30, 40 people. And there was good
discussion. I just have to say our we
[22:07]
have very intelligent and engaged
residents. Uh we were able to take some
[22:12]
of the information that were was
provided by experts um and add some
[22:17]
things to the ordinance. Um our staff
and the Planning Commission have done a
[22:22]
great job making sure that we are
putting in every possible regulation we
[22:25]
can. Um we we do want to help our um
jurisdictions around us. We will be
[22:31]
sharing everything we have. Uh we have
used several different legal um
[22:38]
companies that have vetted out our
ordinance. We have taken our time,
[22:42]
worked with the county, worked with the
state, worked with environmental groups.
[22:46]
Um our entire staff has really been
involved in this. So, I just like to
[22:50]
commend everyone and know that um most
likely in September that will be coming
[22:55]
to the board. So, please take time to
look at it as well. We have opened it,
[22:59]
you know, there's still time for people
to make comments publicly um before up
[23:04]
until that time and then at the two
public hearings for us to still make
[23:08]
changes. I do believe it'll be a living
and breathing document as the as there's
[23:14]
really no expert in data centers. We'll
have to stay on top of things and and
[23:18]
make sure we're looking out for our
community. And again, I I just think
[23:23]
anything information we have we we share
with the communities around us and we
[23:26]
work with everyone to do this. What
happens in Saline and Ypsilanti and
[23:31]
Augusta affects us as well. Uh so, yeah,
this is something that
[23:37]
I'm happy for us to lead,
um but I really want to make sure we
[23:40]
leave no one behind as well as we as we
do this. And so, please keep informed.
[23:46]
We'll we'll modify things as need be,
but that will be coming in most likely
[23:50]
in September.
>> Uh Supervisor Riley, um
[23:54]
it's my understanding that at this time
we do not have any
[23:59]
current
>> Correct. We do not have No one has
[24:02]
approached us. They would have to go
through our planning department through
[24:05]
supervisor's office. Promise you no one
has called or made any inquiries. Uh we
[24:10]
are not necessarily a target for a
large-scale data center. This is
[24:15]
basically if we we had the moratorium in
place, I think the biggest question was
[24:19]
why not just leave a moratorium in
place? And I think that's the problem is
[24:23]
that you can't. It's not legally
defensible. So, we're putting the
[24:27]
guardrails in place and we're making
sure our community's protected through
[24:30]
these ordinances as best as possible. Um
again, it's it's the wild, wild west and
[24:35]
uncharted territory, so
we'll have to just keep watching it and
[24:39]
as it evolves, we'll have to evolve. Um
but our most important thing is our
[24:44]
resources and our residents and we got
350 responses from our residents and the
[24:50]
majority do not are not in favor of
opening up to large-scale data databases
[24:55]
or data centers. Um so and we have not
been approached by any nor do we feel
[25:01]
we're a target, but it doesn't mean that
next evolution
[25:06]
or something else won't make us a
target. So, it's just it's preventative
[25:09]
and it's just to make sure
um that we're
[25:13]
vetting out everything before we are in
a position where we have no authority.
[25:18]
» Thank you.
>> Yep.
[25:19]
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[25:20]
» Any other reports or
I do want to say that we did um last
[25:25]
week do a video with SEMCOG for
community. So, we um went to different
[25:30]
locations and we had a lot of our
partners including our Commissioner
[25:33]
Sanders um was there to help us and uh
the chamber and just some of our our um
[25:40]
our planning commissioners were there.
Our trustee um
[25:43]
uh
or Thompson was there as well. So,
[25:46]
hopefully and it's and and Treasure
Adkins as well.
[25:49]
So, hopefully we'll have something in a
couple of weeks and it'd be nice to be
[25:52]
able to maybe at this meeting show a
video that kind of highlights the
[25:55]
experience of um Pittsfield Township and
we can share that with everybody to
[25:59]
share how wonderful our community is
with others. So,
[26:02]
it was kind of like one of those that
came with our membership. So, why not
[26:05]
take advantage of it?
All right. Well, if there's nothing
[26:08]
else, I will go ahead and ask for a
motion to adjourn.
[26:12]
Oh, I'm sorry. Public comment. So I'm so
sorry. Um I'm going to open up for
[26:15]
public comment. Any person may come
forward at this time to address the
[26:18]
board. Anyone wishes to speak is
requested but not required to state
[26:21]
their name and address for the record.
I apologize.
[26:28]
Okay. Now I'll ask for a motion to
adjourn.
[26:31]
» Madam Chair, I move to adjourn.
>> Second. All in favor?
[26:34]
» Aye.
>> All right. Meeting is adjourned at
[26:37]
6:56.
>> We made it.
[26:41]
» There we go.
>> We made it.
[26:43]
» I'm the 30-minute
