December 9, 2016 Public Safety Subcommittee Meeting,
Attendees, Councilmembers: Chairperson Mary Pietila, Don Woodward, Randy Carter, OCSD Capt. Gary Miller, Star EMS
Risk Manager Brian Long, Waterford Fire was absent although reports were furnished via email.
Mr. Long reported that 11 infant car seats were given away to those in need in November, 8 to date in December in
conjunction with the program with St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital and the Oakland Family Physicians on Saginaw.
2 new vehicles (Trans vans) are being readied for on the road use. In November a flight training with a U of M Helicopter
was brought to Pontiac. Additional Nar Can training is being planned for the upcoming yea r.
Captain Miller informed us that because of the ongoing concerns, of guns, underage drinking and illegal behavior at 7N
Saginaw, the temporary liquor licenses that were applied for have been denied, as well as the 2 which were applied for
by the owner's Nonprofit 501c3, in fact after a review of reports, and documentation filed with the MLCC, 7 N. Saginaw
is now on the list with the MLCC of Not Eligible for a liquor license. This will not affect the Micro-Brewery license on the
first floor as that is not an alcohol license, which is a beer license.
There was some conversation regarding the extreme amount of Graffiti which seems to be overlooked by code
enforcement. The Captain spoke to us about how this violation could be add ressed, if all parties were to designate the
OCSD to act upon it, as an agent for both Community Development and Department of Public Works. There would be
no additional cost to the City, but it would definitely benefit our exterior aesthetics.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m . Minutes were recorded by Council ProTem, Mary Pietila.

Re: Security Assessment for Village at Bloomfield Development
To Whom It May Concern:
J /
The City of Pontiac's Mayor's Office has requested that REDICO assess the marginal impact of The
Village at Bloomfield mixed-use development on the City's existing service infrastructure (i.e. Police,
Fire, and EMS). The goal of this dialogue is to establish an appropriately tailored plan for basic security
and emergency services for this project. To this end REDICO is providing the enclosed analysis and
recommendations.
REDICO ovvns and manages a substantial portfolio of retail developments throughout southeast
Michigan. To assess the impact of 415 ,000 square feet of retail and office uses that we are proposing to
build in Pontiac-along with up to 432 apartments and 100 units of senior housing-we have drawn the
following three comparisons based on size and prominence in their respective markets:
l. Gateway Marketplace. Detroit, MI
2. Independence Marketplace. Allen Park, MI
3. Green Oak Village Place. Brighton, MI
First, we have taken stock of the security measures deployed at each of these properties. Second, we
describe data on a full year (20 15) of security and emergency incidents at these properties, which we
obtained by submittrng FOrA requests to the various jurisdictions. Third, and finally we offer
recommendations for appropriate levels of service for the Village at Bloomfield based on this feedback.

2. Independence Marketplace. Allen Park. MI
Security
In 2015 there were a total of 125 calls associated with this property, 40 to 50 of which were related to
incidental traffic stops for speeding near the center. The annual total for calls in connection with the
center is estimated to at 80 to 100 per year. We do not have data on the types of calls, but typically
the majority of these are due to false alarms.
Fire & EMS
The Allen Park Fire Department & EMS recorded a total of 25 service runs to Independence
Marketplace during 2015. Fire alarms accounted for seven of these runs, and there were 17 EMS
calls. There was one vehicle accident.
3. Green Oak Village Place. Brighton, MJ
Security
The Livingston County Sheriff registered 704 total visits to the center during 20 15, most of which
were non-emergency or standard patrol services to the center (over 400 of the visits were routine
checks of the grounds). This shopping center has a relatively large number of small tenants, and
being that it is one of the county's two major commercial centers it tends to be a magnet for pollee
activity in the area.
Of these visits, approximately 57.5% were routine checks of the area and buildings. Just over 10% of
the visits were in response to false tenant alarms, and a further l 0% were due to Police assisting in
EMS and Fire runs. Another 7.5% of the visits were liquor license investigations of the various
restaurants, arid 7.5% were due to tenant lockouts. The final 7.5% of cases consisted of

miscellaneous traffic and suspicious vehicle stops, 3 hit-and-runs, 3 domestic disputes, 6 cases of
larceny, and 5 cases of retail fraud.
Fire &EM.r:;
In 2015 there were 12 EMS runs and 21 Fire department runs. At least 20 of these were very minor
false alanns or calls cancelled while response was en route.
III. Village at Bloomfield Security Recommendations
Based on the size and character of the proposed deve1opment, our Property Manager and development
partners have suggested the following:
Retail Center
We anticipate installing a 24 camera CCTV system with license-plate definition. We may consider
contracting with private security and/or the Oakland County Sheriff's office (such as we do at Gateway
Marketplace) as needed.
;i-!enards
Menards wilt handle their own security _ on-site, supplemented with corporate monitoring, support, and
video examination capabilities off-site. Menards does not anticipate needing a 24-hour presence at this
store. Menards plans to hire local security for random overnight monitoring and an off-duty officer
presence when store issues require.
Residential
The proposed project will have Property Management staff that are on-call and live on-site, however a
dedicated security guard is not typical. The proposed apartment buildings all have closed corridors with
secured entry doors that have a call system. The proposed site lighting for the project will illuminate the
property.
