Ms. Reyes:
I estimate the cost of the mailing for addresses on Grand River Ave. from the intersection of Oakland
Ave. to the intersection of Pine St. to be $117. Please let me know if you have any further questions
about the application process.

Hello Mr. Swope. I am attaching a general letter of support that describes the portion of Grand River that
we would like to rename. I believe it is 1.8 miles in length. I hope this helps in approximating the cost of
the mailing to the individuals and businesses that will be affected by the change. I am also sending this
to invite you to join us at our fundraiser. We would be very happy to see you there. Thank you Elva
Reyes.

Dear Ms. Reyes,
You are correct that the City Council has deleted the requirement for signature gathering for street
name change memorials and instead included a requirement to pay for postage to all properties on the
street to be changed. I can assist you in estimating the cost if you will provide the street and
boundaries that will be included on your application, which should be submitted to my office.
I have attached the Ordinance as adopted by City Council, which outlines the procedures. Also,just
to make sure you have the current application, it is attached.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional assistance.
Chris

Hello Mr. Swope.
My name is Elva Reyes and I am the chair of the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee. We are the
organization that is working on the street renaming in Old Town. I believe we have met briefly at a
couple of area functions. I would like to know if there is anything in writing on the procedure for filing
with the city clerk's office and the city council on renaming a street. I have had several scenario's told
to me and it would be a great help to get the information. I was also told when the resolution is
submitted to city council our organization would pay postage on a mailing to those affected by the
change. Do you have any idea if that is true and if so, what is the cost, and would the notice go to all
businesses and residents in the area? Our committee is very close to submitting the resolution and the
form, but would like to clear up the details prior to submission. Any information you could share would
be helpful. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention.
Elva Reyes, Chair, Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee (517)749-0181
