Call the Downtown Development Authority meeting to order. The first item on the
agenda is the Pledge of Allegiance. Miss Carne, can you lead us in the pledge?
» I pledge allegiance >> to the flag of the United States of
America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
» The next item on the agenda is the approval of the agenda. And we've got um
two changes that we need to make. The uh first one is the approval of the minutes
of the June 25th uh meeting. We don't have those um yet tonight. And I'd like
to add an action item, which is the approval of the Pam Frucci plan at the
uh Scenic Outlook as an action item. So, with that, I'll
entertain a motion to approve the agenda as amended.
» I make a motion. >> Motion by Miss Armstead.
» I support. >> Support by Miss Carne. All those in
favor say aye. >> Aye.
» All opposed say no. Motion carries. Next item on the agenda is the
presentations, and we have none to Oh, I'm sorry. I need to do roll call. Sorry
about that. Uh Mr. Miranda is here. Supervisor
Porcerelli. >> Here.
» Mr. Anderson. >> Here.
» Miss Stanko. >> Here.

» Sorry. Here. >> Mr. Jacobs is excused. Okay. [laughter]
Now we'll So, there's no presentations tonight and
there's no one out in the public, so there's no public comment tonight. So,
our next item will be the approval of the June 2026 and July 2026
financials. Hopefully everybody's had a chance to
look at those and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary on either month and
we're approving them both because obviously we did not have a July uh
board meeting. So, um
» I'll make a motion to approve. >> Motion by Mr. Anderson.
» Second. >> Support by Supervisor Porcerelli to
approve the June and July uh financials. All those in favor say aye.
» Aye. >> All opposed say no.
Motion carries.
The uh next item is the action item which we have approval tonight and
before you you should all have a drawing that shows the
um Pam Frucci outlook, I'll call it a sign.
Um I actually met with Jay Frucci, Pam's son, out at the site about 2 weeks ago
and we walked this area and he presented um the plan that you have in
front of you then in the
if you look at the second page, um
that is going to be a design that's going to be on the side
of if you look at it's kind of got an arch to it and it's going to be on
either side of that arch. >> Uh-huh.
Like where the chains are? >> Um
kind of >> Oh, okay.
» down here. >> Oh, okay.
» to be on both sides here. So, it's going to face north and
south. Right now you're looking at it looking
east. >> Due east, yeah.
» And in that >> Oh, I got you.
» design will be looking north and south. >> Okay.
» And if you remember back a couple months ago at one of our board meetings, we had
a discussion and we approved, um,
you know, doing something on the street in honor of Pam, and now they've come up
with a, you know, an exact design of what they would like
to install there.
Is there any discussion? >> Ron, can I just say one thing?
» Sure. >> Um, I just want to thank all of you, um,
men and women on the board here, on the commission rather.
Uh, what happened is some months back, it
was it was many months back, and we were going back and forth
on location. And we thought we found one, then we
didn't, then we thought we found one, then we didn't, and then someone didn't
like it, someone didn't like it. So, we thought, let we need to go to the DDA.
Maybe they can give us a suggestion because you guys oversee Macomb Street,
right? So, you oversee what you put on Macomb Street. So, where would you guys
think? So, I'm glad you came up, and we solidified it. I mean, you guys are the
ones that said, you know, the Outlook would probably be the best place,
um, for it, and everybody went with it, which was good. I mean, this is we
needed we [clears throat] needed consensus, and
we needed a spot. I mean, we we can't I don't like talking about things for
months at a time. I like doing them cuz you got too many to do, and you just
keep going. And thank you, guys. You guys, um,
you were the ones that really were the, I think, the catalyst to put it there by
picking that spot, and then we went with your recommendation.
And it moved to this. Then, obviously, and Jay, the son, and the daughter,
Marty, um, I I'm not exactly sure, uh, who met with the people that created
this, but I know the family did, and, uh, John Rathow was involved, Mickey was
involved for a while. So, but thank I just want to say thank
you to you guys cuz now now it's actually coming to fruition,
you know, it you know, things as you see it going down the road for months and
I don't know. It drives me nuts when you can't I I I have to make a decision and
move. So, thank you. I'm just saying that. It was a big It was a big
help. >> Let's put that.
» It It looks a little dark. I mean, maybe it's just
» the picture. >> Okay, cuz it's Yeah, okay.
» [laughter] >> It's just That's the way it copied on
the on the copy machine, but and everybody
knows where this is at, right? If you're driving
eastbound on Macomb and you basically dead end into the water, that's where it
is. >> It'd be nice you don't need lights on it
cuz all the cars coming down the
» Ron, is there a night time Was there Was there a time on these
about going to different things like seems to me there was like something in
the ordinance or something to the effect of they you know, they don't want kids
there at 2:00 in the morning. But, um I
» I have no idea. >> No, I thought there was something in the
ordinance. But, when you mentioned the lights and
the people coming you know, down the street
But, I think that most people obviously would just be there during cuz I don't
or I didn't see anything. Did you, Ron? There's nothing with light.
» No. I mean, we in the middle of the day.
» There was no There's no reason for it. No.
Okay. Thanks.
» There's no more questions. I'll entertain a motion to approve.
» I make a motion to approve. >> I'll second.
» Motion by Ms. Armia to approve or by Ms. Stanko to approve the Pam
Frucci signage for the scenic outlook location.
All those in favor say I. >> I.
» All those say no. Motion carries.
Next item is our discussion items. Update on the DDA director search.
Uh we have gotten I think it's about 10 or 12
applications. We've narrowed it down to six and we
started interviews yesterday. We interviewed one candidate yesterday.
There was an interview today and we're interviewing three more tomorrow. So,
one one person has already dropped out that we scheduled an interview. So, by
the end of tomorrow we will have interviewed five candidates. And it's
the intention that at the end of the day at the completion of the five that we
make a choice and then make an offer. So, um hopefully
no later than Monday uh a new director will be
at least chosen for um making them uh an offer and we'll see
if they accept it and hopefully um I think Derek said your next
meeting's at the 14th. So, it would go before the township board on the 14th.
» It's on there already. >> Is it? Okay.
So. That is the intention. Is there any
questions? >> Have we ever given any discussion to
doing an exit interview with you know,
our previous directors? Just to kind of
» We did. >> You did an exit interview with
» It was quick. >> With Shawn?
» Yeah. It was quick. >> Okay.
» The uh notice was quick. The interview was quick.
» Yeah, he he gave notice the morning after a board meeting.
» Right. >> And said he was leaving immediately.
» So, there was no advance notice. >> That's why I I wasn't being facetious. I
was being I just honest. It was very quick.
Walked in, explained it. >> you know, even with Ross or, you know,
Angela or even the previous I mean, um
you know, we've been through four in I don't know eight years or 10 years. Like
» Yeah, it it was >> Seems to be a tough position to keep.
» Well, the issue is that most of the candidates
are young people. And they they come here and they yep and
they they get experience with how government runs and you know how
planning departments work and how economic development and DDAs work and
um and how just government in general works and
when they get that experience they want to move up and
then they go somewhere where they can get you know move up in the ranks and
you know there's not a lot of positions here at Crozeille that people can move
up to and can promote and get you know higher wages and so it it's
unfortunately we're kind of like the farm system of a major league team that
you know we train them and once they learn the ropes they move on and
the other choice would be is is if you found someone that maybe had
retired and you know was maybe in their mid-50s and wanted to go back to work
somewhere and you know wanted to work someplace for 10
or years or so but that's really kind of our our mind and that's not just us. I
mean there's other communities that face the same thing.
It's just the nature of the business right now. So
So if there's no other questions we'll move on to the next item which is um a
discussion on uh landscape proposal from OHM
and that was included in your packet and I had a discussion with um OHM
and um as you can see on the uh
bigger um
drawing that's in front of you it it sort of has the
um concept plan that we had put together for um
uh Lions Park and as you know we've done
some of the things that are in here. We've we've got there's plantings on the
west side of the park. There's plantings on the north side of the park. We
installed the um art wall. We installed the GI and we
installed the um concrete sidewalk. Uh we've got we've
purchased the benches, but right when we were getting ready to
install the pads for those is when Shawn left. So, I'm not quite sure
um when those are going to get poured, but
hopefully it'll be you know, sometime in the next 30 days or so, so we'll have
those those pads done and the benches. And so,
the area that I talked to OHM is the part
that's between the sidewalk and the sidewalk that's in the park and the
sidewalk along Lions Park. And then the area along the sidewalk
along McComb Street
um sort of two if you're looking at this picture sort of to the left of the GI.
And those were areas that we had always talked about at one point of having some
landscaping done because, you know, as we get funding, we've been doing things
in the park, but you know, it continues to look as an
unfinished park only because we don't have money to do other things.
So, the next step is to start doing some landscaping in
that area. And as you know, we had a um irrigation contractor donate to us
the irrigation for the trees and it's also was set up with the intention that
at some point that system was going to be expanded into these other areas that
we're talking about landscaping. So, the proposal is is for really two
things. It's landscaping at Lions Park. And then the second part of it is
landscaping for our current sculptures and future
sculptures that, you know, it was always the intent that we were not going to
just install a sculpture on McComb. You know, it had to have a presence. It had
to have landscaping around it. We wanted it to be lit. And so, the idea is for
them to come up with a a call it a theme to landscape around the sculpture. So,
you know, the location of the sculptures obviously we can't follow the same theme
at every location because it it's a different situation where each one of
the sculptures are. But, a sculpture sitting out there by
itself doesn't really have a lot of presence. And so, the intent always was
that around that sculpture there would be
landscaping to sort of make a statement that you know, this is a sculpture and
this is sort of a special thing that we're we're doing along the street. So,
that's why there's there's two different tasks really within this.
And I didn't have it as an action item because I wanted to have a discussion
about that. Um get people's feedback
uh what they think. >> Are we talking one sculpture
or or numerous sculptures? >> Well, the idea is that maybe they would
come up with two or three concepts. So,
depending on the size of the sculpture, the location of the sculpture, you use
concept one here, you use concept two here, concept three
at another one. And then there's another one you you do another landscaping, you
know, as we do more. >> Yeah, I guess
you know, just to
kind of keep the the thought process of, you know, when we utilize this park,
you know, um say driver uses it, you know, every year for Pantone red, you
know, having having room for like a big big event
stuff. Is it if I'm making any sense, I don't
know. >> Well, the the intent of Lions Park is,
you know, sort of the middle of the I'll call it the oval
will always stay grass. There's also going to be
a township park right across the street that's going to be
» wreck or >> bigger
bigger acreage if there was going to be an event that
you know it was too big for Lions Park or they had a different idea instead of
you know the way we're setting up Lions Park.
Lions Park was always designed to be a passive park
not active park.
You know it wasn't for >> children's play skates
» Yeah swings and and those kind of things. It wasn't that wasn't the intent
of the park. >> No I know I'm I'm I'm not intending that
at all. So the photos indicating that's where
their proposed pieces of art would then be?
» No this was just the
sort of ignore what's in red. >> Okay.
» That was just people were sketching around as it we actually planted the two
trees. >> No
» Where you can see on either side of the GI and that was just somebody's idea
where the tree should go. >> Got it.
» But we actually moved it closer to the GI so
So I mean give it some thought I'll bring it back
at our next meeting for action.
If there's no other comments
I'd like to move to the next item which is Macomb Commons
and I spent some time there
over the last couple weeks and and some of the park needs a little bit of
call it repair kind of tender loving care. The there's an area
there that's got a lot of pea gravel that I think that gravel is the original
gravel that was installed there 20 years ago
and it needs a refresh. So, I talked to Derek um a couple days ago and
we do have uh the township does have a contract with
um somebody that could deliver a 5-yd load and we just would need to get it
spread, but it's it's thin there and and there's also some
um some decorative block there that needs to be repaired. Um we probably
should have some of the trees trimmed there, so
um what I'd like to do is at the next meeting bring back, you know, an idea to
get some of these things repaired and bring back, you know, uh what the cost
of some of that would be, but um you know, to me there's nothing worse
than us having a park and then letting it go
into disrepair. So, we we do need to keep these up once we install them. So
» Yeah, speaking of wasn't there a bid on the block already or no?
Didn't they >> If Shawn did, I wasn't aware of that.
» to Shawn about I thought he did. So, let me check. I'll check for you on it, but
I think I thought there was a bid cuz I know
what you're talking about some of the block work and the cement or the brick.
» Yeah, there's the brick wall kind of in the
» cracking, but whatever you'd call failing.
» yeah, just got misplaced. >> whatnot and he was supposed to have that
taken care of before we started the uh 250th. So, what's the plan for July?
» go out. >> Same with the weeds that are still there
and they've grown bigger and they look like little baby trees now.
» Let me >> [snorts]
» Well, they I was out there
doesn't look nice. >> I was at the market on a Saturday
morning and they changed the trash during the market
event. Ooh.
» That's not pleasant. >> It was not a good smell. So, that So, if
that could be done like >> more often
» Friday before, that would be great.
» Yeah, that's most unpleasant. Goodness. Um I the garbage I at Lions Park is
like owned by the DDA. So, it's not part of the ones that they empty along
Macomb. Is what I've been like cuz my it got
really full and it's just like dog poop and my mother-in-law called and she said
they the city told her that it's a DDA so they don't pick it up.
It was the only one that picked up. >> Uh
can you look into that, Joe, for us? >> I'll write it down.
» Okay, thank you. >> Yeah, no
» That doesn't make sense. That doesn't If you're doing the whole street then
» Right, that's what I was I >> Well, what is there? Two cans?
» I think it's just one. >> it's just one.
» Yeah. It's just one. I thought each corner had Okay.
» Yeah, it's on the Macomb. >> The Macomb side?
» Yeah. It's right by a bench.
» It's on the Lions Park side. >> Yeah, yeah, I don't want to get into it.
I will. I'll
I'll check tomorrow. >> I did call Derek.
» On this issue? >> If No, if we're talking about Macomb
Street. >> Yeah. We Yeah. If there's no other
comments on Macomb Commons, I'd like to move to the next item which is just
other Macomb Street improvement. So, >> I Some of the like the the flowers in
front of the VFW are burnt out. The flowers in front of I think Literary
Hideaway are burnt out. So, um
just Oh, it's just a bummer that you know, I
I physical therapy in Trout Lake and theirs looks so good.
» [laughter] >> But, he said they don't water and so I
don't know. Their Christmas tree is also partially
dead.
» Yeah, I um
» I Derek said that that I I think we're paying DDA and DDA DPW. Is that right?
Am I saying the right initials? >> [laughter]
» To to water. So, I I don't know how often and you You when it's super hot,
you know, I mean, >> They were looking good. These ones are
dead. >> They were looking good.
It's a big investment in what we put into those flowers.
» I can reach out to Derek about that. I don't know.
See the tree even. >> And then also on the sidewalk up and
down Macomb Street, the trees, um I know we had a discussion about this prior, um
and I don't recall what the actual answer was, but they need to be trimmed.
Like you're walking, riding your bike, whatever the case may be, you're getting
smacked in the face with those or you have to walk around it. So, who's
responsible for those trees? >> Well, that was going to be one of the
items I was going to bring up cuz I I've been walking Macomb
» Okay. >> last uh couple months and that is an
issue. So, I talked to Derek about it and we can
the the method to do it is if it's a tree
that's on private property, the township can send them a letter
and say within, you know, you can make up the day, within 30 days or 60 days,
you need to trim your tree and if you don't trim it within the that 60 days,
the DDA can go out and hire somebody to do that. And I think that's one thing
that we should consider is, you know, hiring a contractor to to go the whole
length of Macomb and trim trees. And I don't know what
the the right height is, maybe 8 ft up from the sidewalk because I noticed that
walking, you know, I had to duck my head,
you know, a number of times on both sides of the street. So, it's not just
in one area or one property. There's there's a number of properties that that
need that trimming. So, um what I can do is talk to Derek, we
can get a price from, you know, whoever we have a contract
with and see what uh we can do, but um and I put it on the agenda at the
open it up to if anybody else has any thing that they would like to propose
that um you know, there are some very well-maintained properties on the
street and there are some not so good maintained properties on the
street and uh
you know, part of it is we have to do our job to keep our properties up and
then you know, hopefully other people will
fall in line and you know, start taking care of their
property, too. >> We battle the weeds.
We battle weeds. Ooh.
» Anybody else notice anything on the street that needs to
» What was that? >> be maintained?
» Just the weeds. I can't stand weeds. Weeds. We do. I say it every single
time. There's weeds everywhere. One of my college kids walked by the uh
the sculpture, too. There are and I think
it's important. We are having um and April can probably speak a little
bit more of this. So, we are having a home show September 12th. So, we're
going to have off-island people coming to tour our beautiful island and looking
at some really homes um historically for and I again, it's kind of goes back to
the July um 250th celebration where we're just really trying to make the
township shine and like a diamond and I would really like for some of those
things to be addressed before that happens on the September 12th.
» Yes, because registration begins on our home street and so there will be cars
lined up all down the street checking things out.
» Well, we're not going to be able to do anything about the trees before then,
but it's just a long-term thing that, you know, we should
you know, maybe it's we do this on a yearly basis, you know, every spring we
hire a tree trimmer and whoever's, you know, has trees that are over- growing
on the sidewalk, um we have those trimmed.
» Is that something um a township worker can do? Forgive me for not knowing that
for sure, but is that something that would be part of it or because it's DDA
they don't? >> I didn't hear what she said.
» Can the township [clears throat] staff
» Does the township have staff that does tree trimming or is that always um
contracted out? >> No, if there's like you're talking about
small reasonable like a I don't mean like a regular person could
do it, but yeah. There's certain times we do send send them out and
um we have them like trees that have broke off.
I mean those are bigger jobs too that they do, so you're talking about just
trimming that are in the way like on the sidewalk and
» Yeah, they're just low-hanging branches. They're low-hanging branches which
impede. >> because number one it's safety issue.
» Right. >> You know, the Township doesn't want and
it might be a county sidewalk, but it's still a Grosse Ile Township property and
I don't want somebody going down there walking, you know, with their head down
or whatever just for whatever reason and getting poked.
» Mhm. >> So, yeah, no, we we do stuff.
You know, it's under like the emergency clause or the
And we do clean up. And we do clean up stuff, so
» And so >> on my list.
» Okay, yes, so that's something that can be done. Is that a possibility?
» I think that we've done it. I I Derek obviously runs the day-to-day
operation and um
I mean I just I help him out and so I think we can.
» I guess I'm just kind of pushing on that cuz I for the weeds again, I'll go back
to the weeds. Susie does not like weeds. Um that I've talked about the weeds
this entire year thus far and they still are there. So, what process do we have
that we can implement that and actually have it come to fruition instead of keep
talking about it. So, talking about the weeds, now I'm talking about the trees
cuz we have talked about the trees. >> Can I ask a favor of you guys? Is there
anybody um can we go I mean I'll help you out even
um can we maybe walk it to get me some addresses?
» Yeah, absolutely. >> I mean would that be prudent where you
guys could at least you know uh say you know, this is definitely a
hazard. You know, something's a hazard, we're going to deal with it.
One way or another, I mean we make sure you know, that's a number one priority.
But if you came up, I'm going to talk to Derek um
tomorrow about a few of these things everything I have on my list actually,
but um
if if there's actual like you could say, you know, in front of a 7832, in front
of 8012, in front of you know, 7999 Macomb, there's a low
hanging, you know, on on the sidewalk. >> Mhm.
» Then that would give us at least something cuz we have you know, we have
those kids still for a little more in the summer and
they'll go cut it. I promise they'll go cut it.
» [laughter] >> You know, the the the group we have
working for us that they do odds and ends for the DPS and
you know. >> Like you get the weeds too.
» Are you >> Well
» Which where are >> Yeah, I don't know.
» Specifically where are you talking weeds at the Commons?
» Yes, at the Commons. It drives me crazy. I turn in there every single day whether
I'm going to work or I'm going to Kroger's and the weeds are just popping
through the cracks. They're >> Yeah.
» the the round bushes that we have, they're growing up and they look like
little little spraket trees growing and it's kind of embarrassing. I was going
to go pull it the other day, but I was I had heels on. So
» At the Commons, that should be done by our landscaper who's you know, cuts that
every every week. So we need to reach out to him to
in in we have to do this every year. I mean,
it seems like he doesn't do it unless we tell him to do it.
» Well, I I'm sure you also know Ron that and then you've dealt with this in the
past that we just can't go spray the weeds. I
mean, you know, I can go spray at my house. I'm a private person. But to
spray to to put weed spray oh, unless you're talking about go down and pull it
out yourself. >> about pulling them out.
» [laughter] >> That's what I'm talking about.
» Okay. >> You said you had kids still
» Yeah, well, no, I'm saying you know, we still have
» [laughter] >> I guess some kids we got some good labor
that >> Pull them up by the roots so they
usually don't grow back. >> [laughter]
» They can wear their knee pads from hockey and kneel down and get them, I
guess. But I'm just saying, some people want things sprayed and and
you have to go We have different people, believe it or not, here like at the
airport that have to be certified. You can't just spray it. Because it's
commercial, it's governmental, there there's rules to that, but we can get it
done. You know, let me let me I can need
another piece of paper. >> [laughter]
» Any other comments on Home Street? I'm going to add that.
Improvements, weed pulling. If not, we'll move on to our next item,
which is the director's report. Obviously, we don't have our director
yet, but hopefully at our next meeting, we will have one.
Uh chairman's report, other than what I spoke about today, I don't have anything
else. Um
Next item is public comment. We have no public comment, so I will open it up to
Is there any open business by anyone? >> I just think for the to subcommittee, we
need to Once we Once you guys get through the
tour, we need to kind of sit down and talk about some action items for Ladies
Night Out. >> Absolutely.
» know you know, there's a design for the going on, but
some of the things that we need to you know,
» Absolutely. We can do that before. >> Okay.
» Absolutely. >> All right.
» Cuz I think some some things we're going to need to start implementing sooner
than later for that to run efficiently and be good.
» Mhm. >> That's our next big event is Ladies
Night Out. >> And the date is?
» Friday, November 6th. >> November I believe it is the 6th, yeah.
I believe it is the 6th, yep. And that's from 5:00 to 9:00.
» When is Paint the Town Red? >> Paint the
» I'm not sure. >> Do we have a date for Paint the Town
Red, Marie? Do you know? >> Yeah.
» I don't know what month it is. >> I I skipped an event, didn't I?
» Right. That's what I thought. >> Well, like so September, we have the
house tour. And then
not for DBA, of course, but it's Township and Township stuff.
» Yeah, it's October 2nd. >> Okay, so September is the home tour,
October is paint the town red, November is ladies night, and December is Island
Glow. >> Mhm.
And Island Glow doesn't conflict with um Boris Head at all.
» I don't believe so. It's the >> It doesn't this year.
» First Friday. Oh, okay. Understood. >> First year already.
Is that every 4 years? >> Head year. Yep.
And they start meetings on that, too, right now.
But, yeah. So, yeah, Marie, we can you guys we can
all get together and do the subcommittee and find a day and time. It doesn't have
to be what we were doing before. I think it was Tuesdays we were doing. We can
find another day and time just to make sure we're on track.
» Cafe's open for the >> Oh, perfect. Done.
