The council opened and closed a public hearing on CDBG allocations and staff noted the application deadline remains open through the 20th of the month for prospective applicants.

Hennessy and NSE engineering representatives and the city's public-works director provided a multi-project infrastructure update covering sewer lining, pump-station improvements, water-main replacement phases, and lead service replacements. The engineer presented these highlights on the record:

- The city anticipates sizable grant and low-interest funding streams for water-main and service replacement projects, including a state SRF/grant package described on the record as combined grant and low-interest loan amounts for a proposed 2025 water-main and lead-service replacement project; the firm listed total project cost figures and the planned scope in linear feet and service counts. Staff and the engineering consultant said design work is under way and EGLE/SRF requirements will be followed.

- A 600-lead-service replacement contract (Bridal Excavating) has started and a second 300-service contract (5 Star Energy Services) is scheduled to start in March; those replacements follow a distribution system materials investigation that identified lead services.

- Multiple sewer cleaning, televising and lining projects are in construction. The engineers reported progress percentages (for example, a sewer lining project listed as 62% completed and another TV/cleaning contract at 37% completion) and said the projects are funded by state and ARPA grants. A Lincoln Pump Station improvement project (pump rehabilitation and generator work) is in initial construction.

- The city has begun a multi-phase water-main replacement program; phase 1 is complete and phase 2 began in February. The engineer said the combined projects are expected to reduce annual water-main breaks substantially and replace hundreds of lead services over multiple years.

City staff and the consultant also discussed the residential cross-connection/backflow prevention program (EGLE mandate) and noted the work is weather-dependent because many residential installations occur on exterior hose bibs; that item was on the agenda for a contract extension but council members asked for further cost history before approving an extension.

Public Works and DPS staff also reported on a PermaPatch pothole product trial. The city purchased one ton for a field trial after a demonstration; DPS reported the product looks and performs similarly to conventional cold patch but has longer durability, and the city will continue using cold patch while assessing cost-effectiveness. Department staff said MDOT has had positive experience with the product.

Ending: Engineers and staff told the council they will return with environmental clearance and final bid schedules for CDBG- and SRF-funded projects, and staff said they will provide additional cost/payable history for the HydroCorp cross-connection item when it returns to an agenda.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2/10/2025 Council Meeting City of Lincoln Park","oneSentenceSummary","Council heard a CDBG funding estimate and a detailed engineering briefing on sewer lining, pump-station work, water-main replacement and lead-service replacement projects funded by state grants, ARPA and SRF resources.","taxTitle","Lincoln Park, Wayne County, Michigan","taxId",55409,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6680053,"Council grants CarHub LP used-auto license but requires planning, building approvals before repairs or full occupancy",3078,1452000,4530000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255993-f767b7daf3bbe241fa68305aecfbee45&start=1452&end=4530","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255993-f767b7daf3bbe241fa68305aecfbee45/thumbnail_1452000.jpg","/articles/6680053/Lincoln-Park/Wayne-County/Michigan/Council-grants-CarHub-LP-used-auto-license-but-requires-planning-building-approvals-before-repairs-or-full-occupancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6680053-8b333dab1c210fea391bd13ba6470225/orig.mp4?Expires=1776611388&Signature=kbS-eU4kEyz~XJGD7biGwHkbcfuADE1gslzatf50gxQP72zc0LEoUq6ehmJi5pUTw~-ZUPWGhAYFbOBS16vO8YeUkWzKc4II3FeC6Wl4bvDQIKxSZIZL98Nrgr--1BBR~qm8pEkCt4koSPkEEc3MqeUMvFSx7xX4MKYNuD~G2abbC1QN7RaK9b6mhPPA5kgLMwaKsvGawjJFNg3bJzX8x6fW6fFBstqOJoL5-EPzEBpDaxc4IqcXPL5ZV73QpYnJ3GSEx6vmAGUWeEAt0yRp72swF-ljsR~XNYCtfkzFEGlKBdOJkEMBfSnbiAt4wg-GildCncvInO-IxmwC7EzalA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lincoln Park City Council approved a new 2025 used auto dealer license for CarHub LP (855 Southfield Road) but added conditions requiring the applicant to satisfy outstanding planning commission stipulations and building-department requirements before conducting repair work or other activities not expressly allowed by the temporary certificate of occupancy.

Council members debated whether the licensing vote should allow the business to open prior to finishing required site improvements and meeting the planning commission's conditions. Several council members said the applicant had not completed the work required by the planning commission and had only a temporary certificate of occupancy. The amendment adopted by the council specifies that the license is subject to complying with all planning commission stipulations and building department conditions; the council also said the business may not conduct repair-service operations until it obtains a full certificate of occupancy for those activities.

City staff clarified the item before council was a new license rather than a renewal. The clerk said the business needs the city approval so it can apply for a state dealer license; the council's approval will allow that process to move forward subject to the city's conditions. Council members who pressed for the amendment said they wanted to avoid a scenario where the business would operate as a repair facility without meeting zoning, setback or variance requirements that the planning commission had attached to its prior review.

The vote on the amended resolution passed on roll call; the clerk recorded affirmative votes. City staff will monitor compliance with the planning commission's stipulations, building department conditions and the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy prior to permitting restricted activities at the site.

The council's action clarified that the license being approved was a new used auto dealer license (not a renewal) and attached explicit compliance requirements to reduce the risk of nonconforming business operations in the downtown area.

Ending: The building department and planning staff will track whether the applicant meets the stated conditions and will notify council if the applicant seeks to change operations or requests a variance that requires additional council review.","Lincoln Park council approved a new used auto dealer license for CarHub LP at 855 Southfield Road but amended the approval to require the business to meet planning commission stipulations and obtain a final certificate of occupancy before conducting repair operations or completing other restricted activities.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6680058,"Council approves sidewalk extension, ambulance purchase and multiple appointments; used-car license cleared with conditions",4526,614000,5140000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255993-f767b7daf3bbe241fa68305aecfbee45&start=614&end=5140","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255993-f767b7daf3bbe241fa68305aecfbee45/thumbnail_614000.jpg","/articles/6680058/Lincoln-Park/Wayne-County/Michigan/Council-approves-sidewalk-extension-ambulance-purchase-and-multiple-appointments-used-car-license-cleared-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6680058-7a42a844812e43474ae70eaf86b5e839/orig.mp4?Expires=1776611388&Signature=WCye4MW-yRMcgPjvRIWSzXDev3CENfVWoHs3AWVz7ykM9fs2pHSY9nS36BOsCsa05ENQYJ69Tz9m2KyLBMBq-dhy9M7Y5~b5iGnEILRZTKJv0jMMTTloOb2P3PH-EFrTC-LHqt1NEe-zxFqYFdzMVzMjzUm1muCkIKz5-rILzsOSfm1S5CsX0iYZAMPaY9oz2kg81UDk4wd4nC0X~100xj-a7hndKY16VDOV9HbuahX3ZOVUk9uzU9NrHEtQzTBL7YvNgRkh6kU3EFRL3hO2SfnsSPQxw05B~0en-GI5soGIWszPS7k7VWbgleIXin6M-UWrFa2lZW-APGRCqIfbkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lincoln Park City Council on an evening meeting approved a set of routine and specific items including a one-year extension for sidewalk repairs with the incumbent contractor, the purchase of a new frontline ambulance and multiple appointments to local authorities. The council also approved a used auto dealer license with conditions tied to compliance with planning and building requirements; a proposed two-year extension for a contractor that handles the city's residential cross-connection (backflow prevention) program was withdrawn for more information.

The council voted to extend KV Cement's sidewalk contract at the contractor's 2022 unit rates, covering 4-inch sidewalk at $11.25 per square foot and 6-inch sidewalk at $12.50 per square foot. The city said the program is funded from capital improvement funds and would generally begin with the next budget year on July 1. Several council members raised concerns about continuing to award work without rebidding, saying local contractors should have a chance to bid; other members noted the extension preserves current unit pricing and allows the city to begin work under an already-known cost structure.

Council members approved the purchase of a Ford F-450 XLT 7.3-liter gasoline 4x4 Type I ambulance as a capital improvement. The city presented three pricing options from a cooperative purchasing group and recommended the Ford F-450 at a price not to exceed $218,060 to replace a 10-year-old frontline vehicle. The resolution authorizes purchase and indicated funds would come from capital improvement account 410-001-98-3 (amount not to exceed $218,060). The council was told the city is exploring financing options so the full cash amount may not be required up front.

Several appointments to city authorities and commissions were approved by roll call, including an appointment of Maureen Tobin to the Economic Development Corporation and other appointments to the Downtown Development Authority and Community Improvement Commission. Each appointment passed on roll call.

On a separate item, the council approved a new used auto dealer license for CarHub LP (855 Southfield Road) but amended the approval to require the business to comply with all planning commission stipulations and building department requirements and to obtain a full certificate of occupancy before conducting any operations not expressly allowed by the temporary approvals. The council's amendment reflects members' concerns that the applicant had not completed required work outlined by the planning commission and that the building/operational approvals remain outstanding. Council members also clarified the vote was for a new license (not a renewal).

A proposed two-year extension of HydroCorp's contract to carry out residential cross-connection/backflow prevention work, with a stated total not-to-exceed cost of $152,784 charged to the Water Cross connection account, was brought up but the support for the motion was withdrawn by the mover and the item was tabled for a later meeting so staff can provide additional information on costs and past payments.

All formal votes reported by the clerk were taken by roll call and recorded as part of the meeting record. Where roll-call names were read, the council recorded affirmative votes; the council did not record any recorded dissenting votes for the items that were adopted that evening.

Going forward, the city indicated it will bring additional documentation for the HydroCorp cross-connection item and return it to a future agenda. The council also said it will revisit bidding policy and timing for sidewalk and other recurring public-works contracts.

Votes at a glance (items addressed that evening):
- Consent agenda (minutes, payables, federal property exemption guidelines) — approved by roll call.
- KV Cement contract extension for 2025 sidewalk repair program at 2022 unit rates — approved by roll call; funding: capital improvement funds.
- HydroCorp two-year contract extension (residential cross-connection/backflow devices; total not to exceed $152,784) — mover withdrew support; item tabled/withdrawn.
- Purchase of Ford F-450 XLT Type I ambulance — approved by roll call; funds from capital improvement account; price not to exceed $218,060.
- Multiple appointments to the Economic Development Corporation, Downtown Development Authority and Community Improvement Commission — approved by roll call.
- CarHub LP, used auto dealer license (855 Southfield Road) — approved as a new license with added conditions requiring compliance with planning commission stipulations and final certificate of occupancy (CO) before conducting restricted activities.

Notes: The meeting record shows roll-call votes called by the city clerk for each adopted item; the transcript lists members called and recorded as voting 'yes.' Specific mover/second names were not consistently recorded for all motions in the transcript; where a maker and seconder were stated it is recorded in the minutes. The HydroCorp extension was explicitly withdrawn from the agenda and will return with additional documentation.","At its February meeting, the Lincoln Park City Council approved a sidewalk contract extension, purchased a new ambulance, confirmed several board appointments and granted a conditional used auto dealer license.
