Supervisor Kenneth R. Fletcher Clerk Mary R. Clark Treasurer Dennis R. Fedewa Manager Brian T. Reed To: Supervisor Kenneth R. Fletcher and the Delta Township Board From: Courtney Nicholls, Finance Director/Deputy Treasurer & WWTP Project Team Date: October 11, 2021 Subject: Introduction of Resolution of Intent to Issue Sewer System Revenue Bonds As we continue to move forward with the bond issuance process through the State Revolving Fund for the Wastewater Treatment Plant project, we are now at the point that the Board needs to pass the Resolution Authorizing Notice of Intent to Issue Sewer System Revenue Bonds. The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the publication of a Notice of Intent, which informs the community that we plan to issue not to exceed $90 million in revenue bonds through the State Revolving Fund for the major capital improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This includes the anticipated total project cost including Phase 1 and 2, which was most recently estimated at $86,166,000 in June 2021. This is a not to exceed amount. The State Revolving Fund is a reimbursement style program, so the Township will only be required to pay back the costs that are actually incurred plus interest. Once the notice is published in the paper, a 45 day referendum period on the bond sale begins. 2,714 signatures of registered voters would need to be gathered with the 45 day period to force an election to occur to authorize the sale of the bonds. If no referendum is filed, the next step in the bond issuance process for the Board will be consideration of the Bond Authorizing Ordinance in February/March 2022. This information is being presented at this Committee of the Whole meeting in anticipation that it will be on the agenda for action at the November 1, 2021 meeting. Jeff Aronoff and Bill Danhof from Miller Canfield (Bond Counsel) and Robert Bendzinski from Bendzinski & Co (Financial Advisor) will be attending the meeting to answer any questions.

Charter Township of Delta County of Eaton, State of Michigan

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE SEWER SYSTEM REVENUE BONDS

A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE: • Publication of a Notice of Intent to Issue up to $90,000,000 of sewer revenue bonds

for improvements to the Township’s wastewater treatment plant. • Principal of and interest on the revenue bonds shall be payable from sewer system revenues. • Anticipated low interest loan funding from State Revolving Fund. • Voters will have 45 days after publication to petition for referendum.

WHEREAS, the Charter Township of Delta, County of Eaton, State of Michigan (the “Township”) determines it to be necessary for the public health, safety and welfare of the Township and its residents to construct and equip major capital improvements to the wastewater treatment plant, together with any appurtenances and attachments and any related site improvements (collectively, the “Project”); and

WHEREAS, the Township anticipates it will obtain a low interest loan to fund the Project through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (“CWSRF”) program administered by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (“EGLE”) and the Michigan Finance Authority (the “MFA”); and

WHEREAS, in order to obtain loans from the CWSRF program, the Township must issue bonds, and the Revenue Bond Act, Act 94, Public Acts of Michigan, 1933, as amended (“Act 94”), provides a means for financing the acquisition and construction of public improvements such as the Project through the issuance of bonds payable from revenues of the Township’s Sewer System (the “System”); and

WHEREAS, the issuance of bonds under Act 94 payable from revenues of the System (the “Revenue Bonds”) for the purpose of financing the Project represents the most practical means to that end, and Section 33 of Act 94 requires the Township to publish a notice of intent before the Township can issue the Revenue Bonds; and

WHEREAS, it will be necessary for the Township to issue the Revenue Bonds in an aggregate amount not-to-exceed Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1. The Township Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to publish, or cause to be published, a notice of intent to issue the Revenue Bonds in the Lansing State Journal, a newspaper of general circulation in the Township. The notice of intent shall be published as a one-quarter (1/4) page display advertisement in substantially the following form:

TO: Supervisor Kenneth R. Fletcher and the Delta Township Board FROM: Ernest A. West, P.E., Township Engineer Rick Kane, Utility Director DATE: October 7, 2021 SUBJECT: Willow Sanitary Sewer Lift Station

Preliminary Engineering Township Board Update

Township staff will provide an update on progress made on preliminary engineering for the Willow Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. Attached is the power point presentation that staff will present. Recommended Action: Information Only. No Action Required.

Back to Agenda

October 11, 2021

BackgroundWillow Lift Station Located on Willow Highway, near Willow

Ridge Elementary School Constructed in 1986 (same as WWTP) Provides service to nearly all residential

sanitary sewer customers located west of the interstate

Pumps flow more than 2 miles to east, through a 14-inch diameter force main, under freeway to gravity sewer near Canal Road

ProblemCapacity Since the mid-2000’s, nearly all residential

development in Delta Township has occurred west of the interstate

Residential development pressure is expected to continue in Willow lift station service area

The station is nearly at capacity, with approximately 190 residential connections available

Station cannot be easily upgraded due to small wet well and building size and configuration

Lift Station Service Area EvaluationJune 2017 – Township hires consultant (OHM Advisors) OHM conducts evaluation of the lift station, force main and gravity sewers First step in planning process for future improvements to the lift station to allow

continued development

February 2018 – OHM presents findings and recommendations Short-term improvement

o Add 3rd large pump to provide sufficient capacity for existing flows and small amount of growth

Long-term improvements – 3 phases o Replace the station with a larger, expandable station when remaining number of connections

are allocated to new developmento Upgrade the force main in the future when flows significantly increaseo Install relief gravity sewer in St. Joe/Nixon area in the future when flows significantly increase

in that area

Short-Term Improvement Work completed by Delta Utilities Department

staff in July 2018 Completing work in-house staff saved Township

approximately $65k vs using a contractor Upgraded firm capacity to 1,850 gallons per

minute Provided additional capacity to allow

approximately 250 additional residential connectionso Since 2018, approximately 60 connections have

been allocated, leaving approximately 190 remaining connections before upgrades will be required by EGLE

Planning for Long-Term Improvements October 2020 – Delta Township hired OHM to continue planning efforts for a

replacement lift stationo Completing preliminary design reduces the time it takes to construct the new station

when it is needed, which is based on development demand Goals of Preliminary Engineering effort

o Confirm the basis of design capacity, size and layout of the new stationo Determine the exact site/location of the new stationo Identify environmental permitting issues for constructing new stationo Evaluate underlying soil conditions that may affect construction costso Verify site access routeo Verify site utility (electricity, natural gas, sanitary sewer) routeso Refine cost estimates from the conceptual estimates

Preliminary Engineering Progress Basis of Design

o Current station peak capacity = 1,850 gallons per minute (2.7 million gallons per day)o Upgrade peak capacity to 2,900 gallons per minute (4.2 million gallons per day) for 20-yr flow

projection Provides approximately 1,235 additional residential connections

o Structure sized for future upsizing of pumps and electrical equipmento Uses existing force main

Preliminary Engineering Progress Basis of Design - Continued

o Ultimate Capacity (Service Area Build-Out) – peak capacity of 5,800 gallons per minute (8.4 million gallons per day)

o Additional capacity added by upsizing pumps, electrical equipment and adding parallel force main

o No changes to structure will be required

New Station Size and Layout Roughly 40 feet x 55 feet Space for 6 pumps to handle

average flow and high flows Space for larger pumps to be

installed for future conditions New pumps will have improved

efficiency compared to existing Larger wet well for improved

operation and expandability

Site Selection Team identified and analyzed three potential sites

o Two located on existing Township property near existing stationo One located on Lootens Park property (area designated for utility use)o Walked the siteso Considered Topography Environmental conditions Site access and utility routes and challenges Existing sewer connections Zoning requirements Property boundaries Costs

SITE #1

SITE #3

SITE #2

LOOTENS PARK PROPERTY

Site Selection Staff Recommendation is to

construct the new station on Site #1 (existing site, behind existing station).o Lowest initial and long-term costo Least environmental impacto Best operator access

Board Concurrence with Staff Site Selection?

Next Steps Conduct soil borings and geotechnical evaluation Begin environmental permitting Begin utility coordination Continue to develop design of lift station Further refine cost estimates Explore funding options

o Possibility of funding costs associated with capacity expansion from charges to parcels benefitting from capacity expansion

Supervisor Kenneth R. Fletcher Clerk Mary R. Clark Treasurer Dennis R. Fedewa Manager Brian T. Reed MEMO TO: Supervisor Kenneth R. Fletcher and the Delta Township Board FROM: Brian T. Reed Township Manager DATE: October 11, 2022 SUBJECT: Proposed 2022 Holiday Schedule The Employee Manual states: “All full-time regular employees shall receive the following days as paid holidays:”

New Year’s Day Martin Luther King Day Good Friday Memorial Day Independence Day Independence Day Extended Labor Day Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Extended Christmas Eve Christmas Day

On June 17, 2021, President Joseph Biden signed into law legislation that would establish June 19 (Juneteenth) as a federal holiday. The historical legacy of Juneteenth is recognized as our Nation’s second Independence Day. As such, we bring forward a proposal to discuss replacing the Independence day extension holiday with Juneteenth. The following schedule reflects the proposed 2022 holiday schedule:

New Year’s Day 12/31/21 – Friday1 Martin Luther King Day 01/17/22 – Monday Good Friday 04/15/22 – Friday Memorial Day 05/30/22 – Monday Juneteenth (to replace Independence Day Ext.) 06/20/22 – Monday2 Independence Day 07/04/22 – Monday Labor Day 09/05/22 – Monday Thanksgiving Day 11/24/22 – Thursday Thanksgiving Day Extended 11/25/22 – Friday Christmas Eve 12/23/22 – Friday3 Christmas Day 12/26/22 – Monday

1 New Year’s Day 2022 will fall on a Saturday and therefore be celebrated January 3, 2022. 2 Juneteenth was proclaimed as a Federal Holiday on June 17, 2021; in 2022 June 19 falls on a Sunday and would be celebrated on June 20th. 3 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day fall on Saturday and Sunday in 2022

Back to Agenda


This change would affect all non-union employees. Currently under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Delta Township firefighters receive holiday pay for 12 holidays throughout the year. Any changes to Holiday payment would happen through collective bargaining. Recommended Action: No action. If consensus to move forward with this change, we will bring the discussion back to the board for the October 18, 2021 board agenda for approval with the following motion:

“I move that the Delta Township Board approve the 2022 Holiday Schedule. I further move that the Employee Manual, Chapter 4B be revised to reflect the new holiday schedule.”

Streaming Board and Commission Meetings

The Township Board began livestreaming in person board meetings in July of this year and posting the meetings on YouTube for the public. Recently the board discussed streaming other board and commission meetings such as the Corridor Improvement Authority.

As staff develops proficiency and experience with the equipment and streaming of meetings, I would recommend expanding the meetings that we stream to also include the following regular commissions:

• Corridor Improvement Authority• Planning Commission• Zoning Board of Appeals

This would be consistent with many other larger communities regarding streaming access to other board and commission meetings.

Recommended Action:

Consensus moving forward to livestream these boards and commissions.
