Stevens said the PTO is not officially a nonprofit for the state's licensing and that she brought paperwork to verify the PTO's status; she described event details including a $2 admission, children's craft vendors and a 50/50 raffle and prize-basket raffles.

Later in the meeting the council approved the consent agenda, which the city clerk summarized as including a local governing body resolution for charitable gaming licenses for \"Lehi Angeles Elementary PTO,\" along with planning commission appointments and a library advisory board appointment. The record does not state whether the resolution listed on the consent agenda corresponds to the Lisonbee Elementary PTO request raised in public comment or to a different organization; the meeting transcript does not provide additional clarification.

The consent agenda motion carried; the clerk noted the items included minutes for special and regular meetings and the charitable-gaming resolution. Monica Stevens had provided the council with the state gaming-division paperwork during public comment and offered two admission tickets to council members; the city attorney and other council members acknowledged receiving materials.

The transcript does not show follow-up steps on verifying nonprofit status for the PTO or whether the clerk will confirm that the consent-item resolution applies to the Lisonbee PTO specifically.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular City Council Meeting - March 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Lisonbee Elementary PTO member asked Madison Heights council on March 24 to approve a local governing body resolution required for a charitable gaming license for an April 12 craft show; the council approved a charitable-gaming resolution on the consent agenda.","taxTitle","Madison Heights, Oakland County, Michigan","taxId",55558,"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},6625676,"Council approves two fleet purchases: $49,087 pickup and $324,466 dump-truck build",288,1152000,1440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2756484-c9f2f847343b189f09ca091b725e916a&start=1152&end=1440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2756484-c9f2f847343b189f09ca091b725e916a/thumbnail_1152000.jpg","/articles/6625676/Madison-Heights/Oakland-County/Michigan/Council-approves-two-fleet-purchases-49087-pickup-and-324466-dump-truck-build","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6625676-8d07553147b82d66ea87d24d38a3c70f/orig.mp4?Expires=1776027430&Signature=KE7TuDZA6oLQo1UXgwsvwgbvwsZv8lk5Ou4q789qx3RzBB0wYjszsWH0N6ruxMUupHNbc0QptQKoaA4ngnKJ526zZhCZUR6jo5m7RPEmYZ32Ur3c~jkiPMFcNPVsVsQVlHTMPz1y3G2URzzPHjpvHm8qMlBGskv6neUQME4v4dpnkKDthm4sg0qE6FSQTEBymQzHegHbV7iYgGpBpDkGxEDApPbMY1cQa5eCpNX-K~7McGIEwQnUvXDP1fvhCNQqaBnr54mGXi3wvny-uafqLgH30OwwLrkqTgChUurvYAAGJcMxA60FZEqV-AxG6DA0Tp6qRAxBCDU3Wpe3W3G-lw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Madison Heights City Council on March 24 approved two fleet purchases: a 2025 Ram 1500 crew cab for $49,087 and a 2026 Freightliner 108SD single-axle chassis plus truck build and equipment totaling $324,466.

Council heard that the fiscal year 2025 budget included funding for scheduled replacements. Staff described the Ram purchase as a reallocation in anticipation of adding a deputy fire chief position and aligning vehicle assignments; the Ram purchase will be funded from the fire department line-item account. The motion to purchase the Ram 1500 from LaFontaine Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Lansing for $49,087 was made and approved.

Separately, the council approved replacement of vehicle number 424, a 2003 Sterling single-axle dump truck used by the solid waste division. Staff said the 22-year-old truck is in extremely poor condition and warrants priority replacement. The approved purchase includes a 2026 Freightliner 108SD single-axle truck chassis quoted at $129,671 from Wolverine Freightliner of Mount Clemens and truck build and equipment quoted at $194,007.95 from Truck and Trailer Specialties of Howell, for a total of $324,466. Staff said funding to cover the overage is available due to savings from a prior forestry truck purchase.

The project includes lane reduction from four lanes to three, construction of a 10-foot multi-use path on the north side of 11 Mile Road, bump-out intersections and landscaping.

The staff presentation noted funding sources: approximately $313,000 in grant funds from Oakland County and $400,000 from the Downtown Development Authority (DDA); the remainder is from the city's programmed budget. The council debate on the record was brief; the motion was made, seconded and carried with five in favor and one opposed. The meeting record does not identify which council member voted no.

The contract will be structured as a blanket agreement to cover environmental reviews for multiple addresses tied to the grant. Staff said the work will support roughly 38 home projects that Habitat for Humanity is implementing and managing as the subrecipient. Council approved authorization for Habitat to utilize ASTI Environmental for the reviews in a motion made during the meeting; the motion passed.

Staff described two different per-address estimates in remarks to council: an initial solicitation note listed about $2,364 per address, and the staff recommendation referenced an estimated $2,003.64 per address with a total not to exceed $90,000. The record does not show an explanation in the meeting for the difference between those figures.

The city manager said Madison Heights is the lead grantee on the $850,000 award and that Habitat for Humanity will implement the home improvement work. Scott Milliken, identified in the meeting as chief operating officer of Habitat for Humanity, was present for questions but did not provide additional remarks on the record.

The council vote authorizes the city to contract with ASTI Environmental to complete the tier 2 reviews and permits Habitat to proceed with procuring those services under the blanket contract arrangement. The transaction is funded through the community projects funding grant the city received earlier in the grant application process.

Next steps include executing the blanket contract with ASTI and scheduling site-specific reviews as addresses are confirmed; the meeting record does not list a timetable or contract start date.","City council authorized Habitat for Humanity to use ASTI Environmental for tier 2 site-specific environmental reviews as part of an $850,000 neighborhood improvement grant; staff gave mixed per-address cost figures and capped the contract at $90,000.","actionData","errors"]
