Wayne County approves retroactive operating agreement for Taylor Clinic common space

Wayne County commissioners voted to approve a retroactive management and operating agreement with Affiliated Management Group Inc. for shared common-area services at the Taylor Clinic on Eureka Road in Taylor, Michigan.

Danielle Johnson, interim director of the Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services, told the committee the agreement term runs from Nov. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2030, with two additional five-year renewal options and a county obligation “not to exceed $601,343.” She said the agreement is retroactive because the county and the management company required additional documentation and reconciliation of charges before finalizing terms.

TR Winer, corporation counsel, described the building’s history: Wayne County owns and occupies a 12,100-square-foot suite while other common areas (hallways, bathrooms, parking) are owned and managed by the building owner. Winer said the county wanted to review shared charges for the entire complex to confirm Wayne County’s correct percentage share, which contributed to the delay in completing the contract.

Commissioner Killeen moved approval; Commissioner Marecki supported. The motion carried on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The approval authorizes the county to enter the contract with Affiliated Management Group Inc. for the stated term and maximum county obligation. The agreement covers shared services such as security, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, landscaping and snow removal.

The committee did not present or reference any statute or ordinance in support of the contract during the discussion. The contract was described as retroactive because of delays in producing supporting billing documentation and completing the county’s due diligence process.
