REGULAR BUSINESS: 1. Authorization to Solicit Proposal - Enterprise Content Management (ECM ) (Barbara A. Pallotta, Clerk) Clerk Pallotta believes the Township would benefit from a Township-wide document management system. However, because the Township added a GIS division to its DPW and Fire Departments, the Township Board agreed to solicit a proposal and accept J&A Engineering’s proposal to develop an Enterprise Content Management request for proposal that would include the document management and GIS components. Clerk Pallotta explained that implementing a document management system is very labor intensive and that adding the GIS component further added to the magnitude of the project. Clerk Pallotta summarized the bid process and how the committee evaluated the vendor demonstrations. She stated that the result of the evaluation was that neither vendor sufficiently met all the requirements of the RFP. Clerk Pallotta received a phone call from another vendor on the same day the bids were due. She explained that there was a miscommunication between the reseller and the company who develops the software; each thought the other submitted a proposal. Although she did not extend the deadline, Clerk Pallotta indicated that the committee agrees that if they are going to take on this project, they need to be absolutely sure of their choice. To achieve that, they believe that having a third vendor for comparison is worth considering. Clerk Pallotta introduced the members of the Information Technology Oversight Committee. Motion #2016-12-204: Trustee Aliaga moved to AUTHORIZE the Clerk, on behalf of the Information Technology Oversight Committee (ITOC), to WAIVE any applicable bid policies and/or rules to the contrary and proceed with soliciting a proposal from a recognized Enterprise Content Management System (ECM) vendor as part of the development of a Township-wide document management system, and the integration and migration of systems currently utilized by the Township, and ALLOW the two bidders currently under consideration the opportunity to supplement or amend their proposals if requested. Seconded by Treasurer Brown. VOTE: Yes: All-5; No: None; Absent: Kittle, Schroeder. Motion CARRIED 5 to 0. 2. Adoption of Resolution Establishing Guidelines for Granting of Hardship Exemptions from Property Taxes Pursuant to MCL 211.7u (Stacey Bassi, Director of Assessing) Stacey Bassi outlined the standard guidelines for hardship exemptions explaining that these guidelines are for the residents that are currently experiencing hardship and consequently, they are unable to pay their taxes. Ms. Bassi explained that residents meeting the guidelines are exempt from paying their taxes for one year and must re-apply if eligible for subsequent. Trustee Ritchie asked whether the income levels changed since last year; Ms. Bassi replied no.

Acceptance of Proposal and Approval of Budget Amendment - Repair/Re-Shingle Northcrest Condominium Pump House (Dave Belcher, Building Department Director; Dave McKee, DPW Director) Dave McKee reported that the Northcrest Condominium pump house was built when Northcrest Condominiums were built. However, when Northwest Condominiums residents connected to the Township’s water lines along Dixie Highway, the pump house was transferred to the Township to maintain. At this time, the roof has now deteriorated to the point it has become an eyesore. Furthermore, because the pump house is located at the condominium’s entrance, the Township is receiving complaints. Mr. McKee summarized the bid process and stated that the Township received three quotes for roof replacement. Mr. McKee is recommending accepting the bid from Hunt Construction because it includes all phases of the project. Treasurer Brown asked if there is a use of the pump house in the future. Mr. McKee is uncertain, but indicated that the cost to demolish the building would have been extensive; he believes replacing the roof is the most cost effective way to make it presentable.
