Hamtramck will have anew city manager.And he is no stranger to
Hamtramck. At a specialmeeting held on Wednes-day, a bare majority of thecity council voted to hireKyle Tertzag to be the in-terim city manager.He will replace City
Manager Katrina Powellwhen her contract expiresafter June 30.But his hiring first has
to be approved by thestate Receivership Transi-tion Advisory Board, whichcould decide on the mat-ter at its next meeting onJune 27. The board hasfinal approval of all citycontracts and expenses.The RTAB has been in
place for over two yearssince the city is still con-sidered under a financialemergency.The hiring is the result
of several prolonged andheated disputes amongcity councilmembers over
which direction to go withPowell.Councilmembers An-
drea Karpinski and IanPerrotta have been in theminority in wanting to ex-tend Powell’s contract.Councilmembers Anam
Miah, Abu Musa, Saad Al-masmari and MohammedHassan have refused to
keep Powell on and werebehind the hiring ofTertzag. They have bris-tled over Powell’s man-agement style, and haveaccused her of leaving thecouncil out of decisionmaking.Powell has insisted she

Kyle Tertzag (left) shakes hands with Mayor Karen Majewski after being ap-pointed as interim city manager.

cial emergency and ap-pointed an emergencymanager.Prior to Tertzag being
here, the city council atthat time had asked thestate to declare a finan-cial emergency in the city.Tertzag played no role inthat decision.Once Emergency Man-
ager Cathy Square was onboard, she fired Tertzag.She kept the position ofcity manager vacant untilshe was near the end ofher 18-month term here.At the time Square said itwas “redundant” to havea city manager on hand.Tertzag is a former Allen
Park councilmember andcity administrator forWoodhaven.His experiences in both
cities were clouded incontroversy.In Allen Park, he and all
of the councilmembersunanimously approved a$31 million developmentdeal for a film studio with-
out seeking voter ap-proval. That deal flopped,leaving taxpayers on thehook and sent the cityinto a financial crisis thatled to an emergency man-ager taking over.But Tertzag has pointed
out in the past that thedeal did not require oreven meet the guidelinesfor voter approval, andthat the city administrator,economic developmentdepartment and the statewere behind it.In Woodhaven, he was
let go suddenly underwhat some said weremysterious circum-stances. Both the city andTertzag entered into anagreement not to disclosethe details of his leaving.Tertzag it was a mutual
falling out, and that it iscommon for non-disclo-sures to be agreed on.“City managers come
and go,” he told The Re-view. “We decided to han-dle it like adults.”
In contrast, Ham-tramck’s current city man-ager, Katrina Powell, wasalso let go by two previ-ous communities afterserving about two years ineach.Hamtramck city coun-
cils have fired two previ-ous city managers, andthen went through severalfor very short terms –sometimes lasting just afew weeks -- before hiringTertzag back in 2012.Tertzag’s history was
brought to the attention ofthe city council at Tues-day’s special meeting byseveral residents.No one asked him to ex-
plain those situations.Others complained the
process of hiring Tertzagwas cloaked in secrecy bythe bare majority of coun-cilmembers and had theeffect of taking the citybackwards.“A majority of you is
making our city disgust-ing,” said Rachel Srodek,sister of CouncilmemberAndrea Karpinski. “Youmake our city look likepoop.”While in Hamtramck,
Tertzag’s tenure went rel-atively smoothly, consider-ing the city went throughseveral city managersprior to his arrival.Since his leaving
Tertzag was asked byMayor Karen Majewski ifhe was still in municipaladministration. Tertzagsaid he has been actingas a consultant and doingpolling work for his owncompany, Strategic Solu-
tions.On his Facebook page
he also promotes himselfas DJ Maverick.Tertzag said he only
wanted to be interim citymanager here until theend of next January.“I’m fine in the public
sector,” Tertzag said.He declined to talk
about any discussionswith city or elected offi-cials that led to his hiring,saying those were “pri-vate.”That response elicited a
loud groan from thepacked city council cham-bers.But he did say he has
kept up with Hamtramck’ssituation and only recentlyreached out to Coun-cilmember Miah about theposition of interim citymanager.There had been accusa-
tions that the four coun-cilmembers who broughtTertzag forth of acting se-cretly in collusion and inviolation of the state’sOpen Meetings Act.The four called for the
special meeting at Tues-day’s regular meeting. Itwas at that meeting Miahrevealed the purpose forthe special meeting wasto hire Tertzag.Much shouting among
the council and audiencemembers erupted afterthat announcement.Councilmember Ian Per-
rotta pointed out that thefour did not offer theexact wording of the reso-lution hiring Tertzag atTuesday’s meeting. Hesaid Miah provided theresolution after he askedfor it via email to all coun-cilmembers.In an effort to boost
Tertzag’s hiring – and per-haps embarrass the

A familiar face returns to take over role of city manager Cont. from front
mayor -- CouncilmemberMiah read a letter by Ma-jewski praising his workas city manager in Ham-tramck, saying it brought“stability” to the city.The letter was from
2013, and it compli-mented Tertzag for his“even-handed approach”which she said had a“calming effect” on thecity.The mayor conceded
that she did indeed signthe letter, but that she didnot write it. She said shehas signed other lettersof recommendation forformer city employees.“That’s standard proce-
dure” she said.Despite that glowing
recommendation, Majew-ski said “it’s a differentsituation today.”By that she meant the
achievements of Powellhave surpassed otherswho were in the positionof city manager in Ham-tramck. Majewski hasbeen a strong supporterof Powell.To no one’s surprise,
the four majority coun-cilmembers agreed tohire Tertzag by the end ofthe meeting. He wasgiven a salary of $8,000a month, which is not toexceed $108,000 for oneyear’s service.He will start on July 1
provided the RTAB ap-proves his contract.

The following informa-tion is from Mrs. JaleelahAhmed, ELL Director:Compared to the na-
tional average, southeastMichigan has 182% morejobs for engineers with a5.7% job growth ex-pected from 2016-2025. These are some of the
facts shared at the Eng-lish Language LearnersEngineering Students'field trip to Henry FordCollege on May 30. Thestudents competed in ahigh school competitionat HFC in April, earning1st place and 3rd placein the competition andthe seniors in the teamsreceived a scholarship toHFC. After the competition,
the plans were to have thestudents visit HFC and inparticular the EngineeringDepartment. The visit tothe engineering depart-ment opened the stu-dents’ eyes to see thedifferent types of engi-neering fields, ask ques-tions, and do hands onactivities. They met with instruc-
tors in the electrical, civil,mechanical and systemsengineering to name afew out of the 20 differ-ent types of engineer-ing. The students whoare strong in the areas ofmath and science are ex-cited to pursue the fieldof engineering while theydevelop the English lan-guage. This is the direction of
the English LanguageLearner Department's Di-rector, Mrs. Ahmed, hon-ing in on the student'sstrengths and interestsas early as possible, giv-ing opportunities for stu-dents to explore the areaof interest and supportthem in a pathway to col-lege program. Mrs. Ahmed and Dr.
Nameghi, Director atHFC, are working to-gether to develop a part-nership betweenHamtramck PublicSchools’ ELL Depart-ment and Henry Ford Col-lege.

brances. At the same time I
have no real nostalgia forthe past, no interest inreturning to it, yet I re-main sentimentally at-tached all the same.With fondness I recallplaying Little LeagueBaseball at VeteransPark, beginning my col-lection of 7-inch vinyl 45sat Federal DepartmentStore and Old TownRecords, and discoveringa unique transportation
network of streets, side-walks and alleys acrossthe city.Except for a few years
spent living away fromHamtramck I have beenhere my entire life. I wasborn in St. Francis Hospi-tal (now city hall), aroundthe corner from a housemy father bought in1947. The succession ofthe house fell to mymother and to me whenmy dad died in 1974;and when my mom died
in 2012, I took on soleresponsibility of the prop-erty.The house itself is
filled with memories,some vividly beautiful,others murky and am-biguous, all lendingthemselves to repeateddiscoveries about myfamily and myself. Recently, as part of an-
other, more personal writ-ing project, I found myway back to my firstmemory of conscious-ness, at age 4 or 5. I'dalways marked my en-trance into awareness asstanding with my motheron Roosevelt St., watch-ing the JFK motorcaderoll into Keyworth Sta-dium, in October 1960.This new discovery of
prior recollections hasgiven me fresh insightsinto who I am today.When I walk I revisit
significant and meaning-ful (also insignificant andmeaningless) experi-ences I may have had in1966, 1976, 1986 andother years. I'm nolonger as interested indates -- just real life andmy participation in it. There are three simple
but crucial pieces to mycreative work: participa-tion, discovery and expe-rience. They areuniversal and can be ap-plied wherever I go. Butmy personal history inHamtramck, and my rela-tionship to it, both physi-cal and metaphysical,enables an intimacy andemotional richness Idoubt I can find any-where else.Last week, Hamtramck
painter, muralist and CityLife illustrator EmilyWood and I walked to thecity's industrialsouthend. Our destina-tion was the weed treeforest on Denton, east ofJos. Campau along therailroad tracks that runon a northwest-south-west diagonal linethrough this edge oftown.Emily carried a sketch-
book, and I had my cam-era as we hiked up anddown man-made hills,pushing aside long wildgreen growth until wereached a clearing nolonger visible from theroad.
Boyhood memories ofbeing here before cameinto focus. Buildings be-longing to Polar BrandIce Cream and the BriggsCompany were part of amanufacturing district ablock to the north, atMiller and McDougallstreets, an intersectionnow swallowed up by theadvancing nature sur-rounding us. Those build-ings were destroyed inseparate fires in the1970s and 1980s. Looking east, I remem-
bered other industrialshops along the Denton-Miller industrial corridor,where the DickersonCounty Jail is now, butcould not recall theirnames. The Dodge Mainplant, once rising just tothe south of where wenow stood, was the dom-inant building in this sec-tion of the city. Unlike the GM Pole-
town plant that replacedit after it was closed anddemolished, what wecalled “Dodge's” was in-tegrated into the adja-cent residential streets,where some workerslived, carrying lunch pailsto and from the factoryeach day.While we walked I told
Emily of boyhood encoun-ters with teenage“gangs” that claimed theturf around the tracks. The Park Boys were
glue-sniffing bullies whopreyed on younger kidslike me. They took myfootball once and would-n't give it back until
some adults intervened. We would always be
wary of them when wewent to the marshes andponds along the trackslooking for crayfish, tad-poles and frogs. I heardstories of kids gettingbeat up, their frogsstolen by the park gang-ster crew, but it neverhappened to me. Other stories were
much sadder. One boy Iknew collapsed and diedafter lowering himselfinto a paint car to huffthe fumes inside. An-other had part of his footsevered while attemptingto jump from a movingtrain. Those dark memories
left me as we walkedeast into a residentialdistrict bordered by Jos.Campau and Lumpkin,Denton and Holbrook. Some of the city's old-
est homes are here.Emily sketched one ofthem, a single house sur-rounded by natural greenspaces on each side,with a factory smoke-stack looming behind it,as if over its left shoul-der. It's a classic Ham-tramck image, nestledsomewhere between thepast and the future, asalive in the real as it is inmemory.

In Our Opinion
Last week’s issue, asmany readers noticed,was not an ordinary one.For the past few years
we have turned over ourpages during this time ofthe year to the publicschool district. The dis-trict produces its ownstories highlighting theachievements of theschool year.And each year we are
mightily impressed by thedistrict’s programs andthe caliber of the stu-dents. We are alsoamazed at the ethnicmake-up of the students
— what an astonishingexample of the wholewide world living righthere in Hamtramck.Being a student in
Hamtramck’s PublicSchools is a course onhow to get along with theworld. That experiencealone puts these stu-dents way ahead of theirpeers in other cities.The public school dis-
trict has long been an in-novator in education andhas written the book onhow to reach immigrantstudents. Other schooldistricts should be envi-
ous over Hamtramck’ssuccesses.We salute the students
and staff of the publicschool district for an-other great year. We also wish the grad-
uates of 2017success intheir future endeavors.It’s a tough and challeng-ing world out there, butthe public schools gavestudents a great headstart. Now it’s their op-portunity to go out in theworld and show themwhat being a Cosmo isall about.
Public School District onceagain produces top students

hammed Hassan said hewas satisfied with approv-ing it.“As long they are follow-
ing the law,” he said.City Manager Katrina
Powell was enthusiasticabout the event: “Themore festivals the better.”The street closure was
later approved.A presentation was
made on behalf of a proj-ect to build or repairseven houses to lodgerefugees. The project isbeing sponsored by Habi-tat for Humanity and theWayne County Land Bank,among other organiza-tions.The project will not cost
the city any money, and itwould actually bring someproperties back on thetax rolls.The following properties
will be developed: 2333Faber, 2269 Denton,2300 Danforth, 2217 An-drus, 2424 Faber, 2379Danforth and 2261 An-drus.A representative from
the Wayne County LandBank called the project a“huge opportunity to dosomething amazing.”The housing will allow
refugees to be in a com-munity where they caneasily walk to local storesand markets and alsospeak with people whounderstand their lan-guage.Refugees will only stay
for several months beforeresettling somewhereelse.Construction on new
housing for the refugeeswill begin this summer orearly fall.City Manager Powell
called it a “win-win foreveryone.”She said there is a
chance more housing forrefugees could be madeavailable in the future.The council approved
the project. After the ap-proval, CouncilmemberIan Perrotta said this isan “opportunity for thecity to remain a welcom-ing” community. Headded that the partner-ship is “a start of a beau-tiful relationship.”Finance Director Bhama
Cairns said there will be asmall decrease in the citybudget. A federal grant tocover 12 salaries in theFire Department was puton partial hold, resultingin a $500,000 drop incity revenue.That amount, she said,
will be paid later to thecity.Councilmember Anam
Miah sharply questionedwhy the council wasn’t in-formed about this earlier.Cairns also said rev-
enue is up from incometax due to more aggres-sive collection.During the regular meet-
ing State Sen. Bert John-son addressed thecouncil. Johnson startedoff saying: “Let me ad-dress the obvious ele-phant.”By that he was referring
to a recent felony chargethat accuses him of di-verting the public’s moneyfor private use. He isspecifically charged withhiring a “ghost” employee– an employee who getspaid but performs nowork.The amount of money in
question is $23,000.Johnson said he ex-
pects to be “OK” in beat-ing the charge.“But you never know,”
he added.He then went on to dis-
cuss the making of thenew state budget. Hesaid he and fellow De-mocrats are attemptingto make sure there isenough revenue being di-verted to cities.
Johnson also urgedlocal officials to be “morevigilant and vocal” aboutmaking sure the legisla-ture takes care of theneeds of cities.During public comment,
Robert Zwolak warnedthat unless the council re-news the employmentcontract of City ManagerPowell, “there will be adilemma.”If that doesn’t happen
he said, Powell should ex-tend City Treasurer JohnGabor’s contract so hecould take over.Both of their contracts
are set to expire on June30.
(Editor’s note: Since thatmeeting, Powell placedGabor on paid administra-tive leave until his con-tract expires.)A paving contract was
approved with HutchPaving for the city’s up-coming street resurfacingproject. This year, the fol-lowing streets will berepaved: • Charest from Hol-
brook to Evaline (fullwidth)• Lehman from Conant
to Jos. Campau (travellane only)• Lumpkin from Caniff
to Commor (travel laneonly)• Pulaski from MacKay
St. to Jos. Campau (fullwidth)The cost of the project
is $517,000, which willbe paid through an an-nual state road repairgrant.During a discussion to
amend the city’s budget,Councilmember Mo-hammed Hassan lashedout at the former emer-gency manager, who hesaid “did not do anything”toward improving thecity’s financial condition.He said the city needs
to reduce costs. Thecouncil, except for Has-san, approved the budgetamendment.A discussion was held
on an upcoming alley re-construction project thatwill begin in June. Theproject will focus on por-tions of alleys on Jos.Campau and Conant.

ProhibitedSigns. The request is for a variance to allow a sign painted on theexterior of the building which also includes more information than thebusiness name, address and phone number.

the encounter a debaterose whether Vellemanwas in his right to removethe signs since it was puton his property withoutpermission.According to the city’s
sign ordinance, you can-not place a candidatesign on vacant lots –even with permissionfrom the owner. That wasthe case in this matter.There is no law forbid-
ding a person from re-moving a sign from theirproperty.The Review reached
out to Velleman for com-ment, but he did not re-turn a call, nor has hereturned past calls forcomment on other is-sues. Velleman has beenin the news lately forkeeping most of his threedozen Jos. Campaustorefronts and lotsempty.He has refused to ex-
plain why he does notseek businesses tolease his commercialspaces. Other businessowners have complainedthat Velleman is making
the city’s main businessstrip look like a ghosttown.Velleman has also
faced criticism for notmaintaining his lots, andallowing them to collecttrash and become over-grown. He has sincefenced in his lots to pre-vent trash accumulating,but a quick inspectionthis week found severalof them needing a mow-ing.Perri told The Review
he is more upset thatVelleman allows othercandidates to post theirsigns on his properties,which he said is unfairand undemocratic.“The problem is he
owns like 90% of theproperty in Hamtramck. Ifhe can claim he does notwant certain signs on hisproperty but allows oth-ers he can unfairly andunjustly influence the re-sults of the election,”Perri said.“I have no stance one
way or another in theelection for Hamtramckas I only work and do not
live here, however I dobelieve in the sanctity ofthe electoral process.Every candidate shouldhave equal access andequal representation sothe outcome of the elec-tion can be fair and accu-rate to the will of theelectorate.”While there might have
been other political signson his lots, when The Re-view checked on the situ-ation Wednesday, therewere no signs to befound.There is no law in the
books restricting who orhow many candidates aproperty owner can pro-mote in an election.In most instances, can-
didates complain that ri-vals or vandals havestolen their legally placedsigns. It is rare that any-one is caught in the act.There are three candi-
dates, including Hassan,Asm (Kamal) Rahmanand former Councilmem-ber Cathie Gordon, chal-lenging Mayor KarenMajewski for her job.In the city council race,
there are three seats upfor election, includingthose occupied by incum-bents Andrea Karpinskiand Ian Perrotta.Councilmember Has-
san has opted to run formayor instead of seekingre-election to council,which leaves his seatwide open.The council candidates
include: Saiida Miah,Gias Talukder, Mo-hammed Al-Somirir, AkilAl-Halemi, NayeemChoudhury, Fadel Almar-soumi, Monzurul Karimand Showkat Choudhury.Showkat Chowdhury is
currently a member ofthe Hamtramck SchoolBoard. Saiida Miah is thedaughter of current Coun-cilmember Anam MiahThe Aug. 8 Primary
Election will whittle themayoral race down to thetop two finishers. In thecouncil race, the field willbe reduced to six candi-dates.In both races, the final
election will be in Novem-ber. At this point, the onlyrace on the ballot will be
the Hamtramck election.If past elections are aguide, that will likelymean a very light voterturnout will decide whowill fill local seats.Hamtramck already
has received nationaland international atten-tion for having a citycouncil where the major-ity members are of theMuslim faith.It is believed the city’s
population is now atleast 50 to 80 percent ofthe Muslim faith. For al-most 100 years the cityhas been known as a Pol-ish enclave.This election year could
likely be the turning pointfor a sweeping change incity government, withMuslim candidates tak-ing all elected positions.That will also result in
huge changeovers incommissions that themayor and council ap-point.There is at least one
documentary crewrecording this possiblehistoric shift in city gov-ernment.
