Public Service Board Page 2
October 11, 2007
A. The following highlights were reported:
-Mr. Gamble thanked Board members for attending the meeting and expressed the
importance of following through with the budget process. Mr. Gamble distributed copies
of a memo he prepared for the Board to use as a tool as they develop their budget
priorities. Board priorities will be used as a guidance document for the Department. Mr.
Gamble suggested Board members may want to meet among themselves prior the next
Board meeting.
-Mr. Gamble discussed the Cleaner, Greener Logo project. Mr.Flechter was active in
developing the project process. An awards banquet will be held for the top three students
who submitted art for the logo. The City plans to continue to work with students to
create new signs for street display.
-Asset Management Plan—The State of Michigan indicates that the Public Service
Department developed the best plan in the State.
-Mr. Gamble displayed a map showing project areas for the 2008 construction season. A
few include Grand Avenue,the Larch Street corridor and the Triangle Lot. The City will
obtain the largest loan to date with 25 to 35 million dollars for project costs. Mr. Gamble
discussed STP projects and sidewalk projects. Development projects will coincide with
Public Service projects. Kalamazoo Street will serve as the access point during
construction of the new State Police Headquarters at the Triangle Lot. The Accident
Fund Project is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2008 or 2009. There is not a firm start
date for the Gillespie project. Ms. Schmidt asked if businesses located near construction
areas have been notified. Mr. Gamble explained that there will be language in the bid
documents stating there will be other projects abutting each other.
-Mr. Gamble briefly described the CSO.com web site to obtain interactive maps,CSO
updates and current project information and details. The site identifies staff and how to
contact them.
-Mr. Gamble reported that N. Washington Square will be open in time for Silver bells.
-Mr.Rose distributed two documents; one titled,Michigan Solid Waste Policy and
Examining Increased Renewable Energy Projection from Landfill Gas in Michigan.
Granger is seeking an exemption that would allow compost to be placed in the landfill
because it creates methane gas that causes waste to break down faster. Mr.Rose briefly
discussed the impacts the new system could have on Waste Reduction Services
operations. The City of Lansing may want to seek the same exemption for curbside pick-
up.
Mr.Rose suggested inviting Granger to a Board meeting to discuss the new plan. Mr.
Bloomberg suggested it may be prudent to defer inviting Granger until the whole Board
is present to decide. Ms. Schmidt stated she thought it is a good idea to invite Granger to
the December meeting. Mr.Rose explained that it is important for the City to involve
itself with Granger's operations to be prepared for impacts to City operations. If the City
does puts more in the landfill,it would cost an additional $2.50 per cubic yard. Mr.
Gamble explained that the relationship with Granger is symbiotic and there may be a
change in the rate structure.

October 11, 2007
Mr. Gamble announced that Lori Miller and Steve Chalker from Waste Reduction
Services will provide a presentation at the December meeting. Granger will attend the
meeting tentatively scheduled in January 2008.
-Mr. Gamble briefly discussed the project on Moores River Drive. There have been three
neighborhood meetings and another is scheduled November 27,2007. Mr. Johnson
explained that the purpose of the meetings is to develop a conceptual plan based on
stakeholders' input. The location on Moores River Drive runs from Frances Park to
Mount Hope on the western edge. Area residents have mixed feelings regarding the
proj ect.
•CSO/SSO Evaluation—-Mr. Gamble is hopeful the CSO/SSO Executive Summary
document will be ready for presentation at the December Board meeting.
The Executive Summary needed extensive revisions that have not yet been completed.
Mr. Gamble explained a few of the options discussed in the report. The purpose of the
study was to dovetail the two big projects;to address NPDES permit requirements, and
ACO, SSO, and the Phase II Storm water regulations. The object is to combine all of the
mandated programs into one. Mr.Johnson explained combining the programs could lead
to a cost savings amounting to $150 Million.
-Budget Priorities: Mr. Bloomberg distributed copies of the memo prepared by Mr.
Gamble that addresses budget priorities. Ms. Schmidt reviewed Council priorities and
noted the City needs to address infrastructure issues on a regular, on-going basis. The
City should be more concerned with general street maintenance and street paving rather
than speed humps,traffic circles, etc. Mr.Bloomberg observed the absence of the Asset
Management Plan in the Council priorities and that there is no mention at all of public
streets. Mr.Bloomberg asked if funding from other agencies is still declining, (ACT 51),
flat, or just keeping pace with inflation. Mr.Johnson noted the pool seems to stay fixed.
The STP total revenues are usually$1 Million per year. Mr. Gamble stated if we do not
address this issue now,the roads will not be repairable. Mr.Bloomberg referred to Mr.
Gamble's memo and asked if the Board's list would require extra money and to what
extent, if we did have to spend more,would if generate savings.
-Waste Reduction Services are working to streamline services. The Department is
working with a consultant to evaluate the current program. The evaluation will cost
$60,000. This will pay for itself within one to two years. The Asset Management Plan
works in a similar manner. This will be discussed at the December meeting.
(6) PENDING ITEMS: None.
(7) COMMUNITCATIONS: Memorandum from Mr. Gamble to Board Members dated
November 8, 2007,referencing Budget Priorities. The memo was discussed and placed
on file.
(8) OTHER: Mr. Gamble announced that Mr. Ross, Wastewater Plant Superintendent will
retire effective January 4, 2008. Board members thanked Mr. Ross for his hard work.

tackle the challenges that lay before us.
The following priorities are not placed in any particular order:
-Streamline/revamp the entire Waste Reduction Services platform (sale of self-generating
topsoil,reworking solid waste routes, diversification of the recyclables that we take and
expanding our services into the commercial market)
•Investigate the purchase of an asset management software for Department use as a business
management and operations tool
•Increase the utilization of information distribution from the web
-Begin to merge the CSO and SSO programs into a cost effective systernic solution to meet the
state regulatory requirements and our customer needs
-Increase the utilization of computers for PSD service vehicles
-Continue to increase our use of our GIS system
-Place a beautification line item in the budget to account and to work collaboratively with the
Principal Shopping District on the maintenance of improvements in the Washington Avenue and
Michigan Avenue corridor

It is important that this Solid Waste Policy be continually communicated, monitored, evaluated, and modified.
Measuring and benchmarking the actions toward more sustainable management of solid waste in Michigan is
important in evaluating the Solid Waste Policy's effectiveness. Also, developing a system to periodically modify the
Solid Waste Policy will keep it a current and useful document.
May 24, 2007
I �_
DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM TO COMMUNICATE,
MONITOR, EVALUATE, AND MODIFY THE SOLID WASTE POLICY AND ITS
IMPLEMENTATION
To identify improvements in solid waste management as well as evaluate progress toward achieving solid waste
management goals, Michigan should:
1. Develop and implement an effective and efficient data collection system for measuring solid waste generation, reduction,
utilization, and disposal. The system should:
Consist of data collected locally and aggregated statewide
• Analyze and evaluate data to benchmark achievement of sustainability standards
Characterize waste streams at time of disposal
Measure and track trends on the magnitude and percentage of solid waste generated, reduced, utilized, and
disposed
Protect proprietary information
• Avoid double-counting
• Be consistent with national programs and standards
2. Evaluate the implementation of this Solid Waste Policy every five years and recommend appropriate changes through a
report prepared by the MDEQ Director. The report should be based upon the work of the Solid Waste Policy Advisory
Committee with input from other interested parties.
May 24, 2007
Making proper choices regarding solid waste management options is important if Michigan is to sustainably manage its
solid waste. Encouraging choices consistent with the management preferences can be accomplished through
regulatory requirements, education, and financial incentives.
In order to encourage choices consistent with the management preferences, Michigan residents, businesses,
organizations, and government bodies must have accurate and easy-to-use information about the consequences of
alternative choices. Each choice may have both positive and negative consequences. Each must be evaluated for its
impact on economic, environmental, and social resources. All residents, businesses, organizations, and government
bodies play a role in sharing information to help encourage proper choices.
It is important to recognize the appropriate circumstances under which the strong steps of disposal bans should be
considered, especially given the risks of illegal disposal to Michigan's environment. A disposal ban for a material that
presents significant and avoidable harm should be considered only when alternative management options limit the
potential for an unacceptable increase in illegal disposal or unsafe storage. A disposal ban for large volume, easily
recycled materials that have high resource potential should be considered only if sufficient markets and collection
infrastructure exist that are convenient throughout the state.
Regarding deposit systems, the administration costs, the efficacy of voluntary vs. mandatory deposit systems, and
comparisons to alternative recycling systems should be addressed. A deposit system for a high risk or large volume
product should be considered only if it would create an efficient, effective, and equitable collection and utilization
infrastructure. The on-site burning or burial of household refuse is a common practice that is unnecessary once a
community's residents have convenient access to safer more sustainable disposal or utilization options. Prior to
implementation of the ban, enough time is needed to be able to inform Michigan residents of alternative utilization or
disposal options. This Solid Waste Policy recognizes that "convenient"may have different meanings throughout the
state.
Under circumstances where a solid waste cannot be managed in a way that effectively prevents significant threats to
public health and the environment, a product ban should be considered. As with al/solid waste management decisions,
the impacts to economic, environmental, and social resources must be evaluated.
May 24, 2007
APPROPRIATELY USING REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, EDUCATION, AND FINANCIAL
INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE CHOICES CONSISTENT WITH THE MANAGEMENT
PREFERENCES
To encourage choices consistent with the management preferences, Michigan should:
1. Facilitate access to accurate and easy-to-use information about the consequences of alternative choices.
2. Develop and promote incentive systems to increase participation in waste utilization programs.
3. Consider a disposal ban for a material that presents significant and avoidable harm if there are acceptable alternatives
such that the ban would not result in an unacceptable increase in illegal disposal.
4. Consider a disposal ban for a large volume, easily recycled material that has high resource potential, provided there is a
well-developed market and collection infrastructure.
5. Consider deposit systems or equivalent for high risk or large volume products only if they would create an efficient,
effective, and equitable collection and utilization infrastructure.
6. Facilitate waste utilization in recreational and other public settings.
7. Prohibit within an implementable time frame the on-site burning or burying of household refuse.
8. Consider a product ban if Michigan cannot effectively prevent significant threats to public health and the environment
associated with its management as a solid waste.
9. Expand and improve information and education programs by:
a. Developing and making available a statewide message on waste utilization that can be appropriately tailored and
presented to different audiences.
b. Including information on the economic development potential of waste utilization.
c. Using a variety of tools and media.
d. Developing a means to evaluate effectiveness.
e. Addressing key audiences such as local decision-makers, industry, retailers, residents, and students.
f. Supporting coordinated and collaborative efforts at the local level.
May 24, 2007
It is important that all stakeholders who are impacted by solid waste management policies, laws, and regulations be
provided the opportunity to offer input.
The Solid Waste Policy Advisory Committee will meet regularly to advise the MDEQ on implementation of the Solid Waste
Policy and facilitation of sustainable waste management practices. The Solid Waste Policy Advisory Committee may
create subcommittees with additional members having needed expertise to help advise the Committee on technical-
related issues.
May 24, 2007
a
REGULATING SOLID WASTE ACTIVITIES
To ensure solid waste policies and laws minimize unintended consequences and are predictable enough to
encourage decisions consistent with the preferences yet flexible enough to provide for individual and changing
circumstances, Michigan should:
1. Implement and maintain a system that provides for input from all affected parties in the development of, revisions to, and
administration of policies, laws, and regulations. This system should utilize necessary and available data and information
regarding economic vitality, ecological integrity, and quality of life consistent with this Solid Waste Policy.
2. Establish a standing Solid Waste Policy Advisory Committee to advise the. MDEQ and help guide implementation of this
Solid Waste Policy.

Individual units of government, including municipal, township, county, and state government, play an important role in
facilitating the sustainable management of solid waste in Michigan. Clearly defining each governmental unit's
responsibilities will aid the development of sustainable solid waste management practices. Furthermore, adequately
funding the roles of all levels of government is crucial to ensuring that the different responsibilities are accepted and
fulfilled. Collaboration and cooperation will help to ensure that the actions of all levels of government are consistent with
one another.
A sustainable and equitable funding mechanism is one that is implemented in consideration of its economic, environmental,
and social impacts and in accordance with Michigan law and related court decisions. A variety of funding mechanisms are
needed to ensure Michigan has the ability to sustainably manage our solid waste. Each community should have access to
a variety of equitable funding mechanisms and then be able to determine the best options for funding solid waste
management activities that meet or exceed established standards. Those responsible for solid waste management are
accountable for expenditures and for otherwise achieving cost-effective objectives.
Only through collaboration will communities be able to capitalize on global recycling markets that often depend on large,
steady volumes of clean recyclable material. Economies of scale are realized when communities work together to develop
the infrastructure necessary to collect and process recyclable material. Developing strategies and plans and educating
citizens collaboratively improves efficiency and wise resource use.
May 24, 2007
ENSURING THAT THE ROLES OF INDIVIDUAL UNITS OF GOVERNMENT ARE CLEARLY
DEFINED AND ADEQUATELY FUNDED AND THEIR ACTIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH
ONE ANOTHER
To ensure that the roles of individual units of government are clearly defined, Michigan should:
1. Identify the tasks and duties necessary to sustain a comprehensive solid waste management strategy.
2. Assign roles for the development and implementation of Solid Waste Management Plans according to the following
principles:
The state undertakes actions that cannot be handled at the local level.
Ensure statewide standards are met
Ensure accountability
• Set goals and minimum criteria
• Facilitate information sharing among local units of government
Provide tools
Facilitate solutions to conflicting roles
Ensure that the format, criteria, and guidance for developing Solid Waste Management Plans are flexible and
consider the needs and resources of individual planning areas
Serve as an information clearinghouse for emerging technologies, practices, and funding opportunities
The local (regional, county, and municipal) units of government are primarily responsible for the delivery of services to
citizens.
• Determine how best to select from among available alternatives
Determine how best to collaborate with other entities (public/private)
Enforce and administer county Solid Waste Management Plans and related solid waste programs
Ensure appropriate disposal and utilization capacity through the solid waste management planning process
To ensure that various units of government are equitably able to financially fulfill their responsibilities, Michigan should:
1. Identify and implement a sustainable and equitable funding mechanism(s) to provide for a minimum level of solid waste
management activities identified by the state.
2. Develop and encourage the use of effective local funding mechanisms.
3. Encourage development of financial and other incentives to promote collaboration.

To increase participation in waste utilization programs, Michigan should develop and promote incentive systems such as
residential "Pay As You Throw"variable rate disposal pricing, Recycle Bank TM-type recycling reward systems, investment
tax credits/deductions, technical assistance grants, market development matching grants, program development matching
grants, and business recognition systems.
The issue of the quantity of solid waste imported from other states and Canada (out-of-state waste) has become more
predominant in the past several years. While Michigan counties are required to plan for disposal of their own solid wastes,
the Interstate Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state and local governments from limiting
imports of out-of-state waste. There are many reasons, economic and legal, for this situation. The resolution of this matter
is currently being considered by the Michigan Legislature and the United States Congress.
May 24, 2007
ENSURING APPROPRIATE CAPACITY TO UTILIZE AND DISPOSE OF MICHIGAN WASTE
To provide appropriate capacity and capability to utilize solid waste, Michigan should:
1. Use partnerships to utilize the individual strengths of the public and private sectors.
2. Identify and remedy regulatory inconsistencies and barriers to the development of a waste utilization infrastructure.
3. Identify local and statewide opportunities for improvement in waste utilization capacity and promote the development of
infrastructure and Michigan markets to meet those needs.
4. Use the solid waste management planning process to establish criteria for evaluating waste utilization needs and
establishing the necessary infrastructure.
5. Take advantage of the economic opportunities that come from utilizing waste as a resource in a global economy.
6. Encourage coordinated actions by groups of communities or industries in researching, developing, and sharing
technologies in order to take advantage of economies of scale and utilize their unique contributions.
7. Explore opportunities through Solid Waste Management Plans to allow for utilization capacity in lieu of mandatory
disposal capacity siting.
To ensure appropriate disposal capacity, Michigan should:
1. Develop a mechanism(s) through the solid waste planning process to ensure adequate and accessible yet not excessive
disposal capacity to meet Michigan's needs without creating a system that attracts out-of-state waste.
2. Encourage the continual development of technology and practices that reduce waste generation, improve waste utilization
practices, and reduce environmental impacts from waste.
3. Work within the context of national and international laws and agreements to manage the transboundary movement of
solid waste.
4. Encourage jurisdictions to provide appropriate solid waste management options to meet their needs.
May 24, 2007
The goal of utilizing 50 percent of Michigan's MSW by 2015 is established to guide policy decisions toward an aggressive yet
achievable goal. It includes all forms of utilizing waste as a resource. MSW- otherwise known as trash or garbage - consists of
everyday items such as product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances,
and batteries. Not included are materials that also may be disposed of in landfills but are not generally considered MSW, such
as construction and demolition debris, municipal wastewater treatment sludges, and nonhazardous industrial wastes
(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Municipal Solid Waste in the United States: 2005 Facts and Figures Executive
Summary, October 18, 2006).
It is important to note that MSW includes residentially and commercially generated wastes. The inclusion of a goal for MSW
should in no way be interpreted to mean that utilization of industrially generated wastes is not of critical importance to Michigan.
It is generally understood that Michigan industries have a long tradition of waste utilization due to inherent economic benefits. In
fact, while data is currently not available to identify how significant industrial activities are, it is certain that utilization of
industrially generated wastes far exceeds that of MSW utilization. The need for data to inform policy decisions and establish
future goals, such as that on MSW and industrial recycling efforts, is discussed further in this Solid Waste Policy.
Within its Resource Conservation Challenge, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set a recycling goal of 35 percent.
The most recent measurement of Michigan's MSW recycling rate estimated a 20 percent recycling rate. The utilization goal of
50 percent of MSW by 2015 includes the MSW recycling rate and any other waste utilization practices. Examples of waste
reduction and waste utilization technologies and practices include on-site resource management practices to optimize reducing
waste at its source and reusing waste without further processing, returnablelrecyclablelbiodegradable packaging innovations,
and beneficial waste utilization technologies such as composting, energy recovery, and bio-gasification.
The goal of ensuring Michigan citizens have convenient and cost-effective access to residential recycling programs by 2012 is
also aggressive yet achievable. "Convenient"does not necessarily mean curbside recycling for all residents. Convenient may
mean drop-off recycling in some areas or centralized recycling areas for multifamily housing.
All goals must be measurable, and baseline data must exist to measure progress. Little reliable data currently exists to evaluate
progress toward these goals. Lack of data, along with conflicting regulatory requirements, are barriers to pollution prevention
and other management practices that increase waste utilization. Ensuring that Michigan citizens, businesses, governments, and
other organizations have information on why reducing waste generation is important and how to reduce their waste is essential if
waste reduction options are to be chosen. Residents, businesses, and all levels of government play a role in sharing this
information.
May 24, 2007
DECREASING WASTE GENERATION AND INCREASING WASTE UTILIZATION (CONTINUED)
To encourage more waste utilization, Michigan should:
1. Strive to make continuous improvement toward full utilization of all solid waste streams, and as a step toward that end,
establish a goal of utilizing 50 percent of Michigan's municipal solid waste (MSW) stream by 2015.
2. Identify and remedy regulatory barriers to waste utilization.
3. Ensure that all Michigan citizens have convenient access to residential recycling programs by 2012.
4. Collaborate in regional and national efforts to encourage manufacturing and distribution systems to facilitate waste
utilization.
5. Support the development of markets for recycled materials.
6. Provide information and technical assistance to citizens, businesses, governments, and other organizations on why and
how to utilize waste.
7. Have a state government that leads by example.
8. Support the beneficial reuse of utility, commercial, and industrial by-products.
9. Facilitate and expand opportunities for collection and management of household hazardous wastes, construction and
demolition wastes, organics, pharmaceuticals, and other special wastes.
May 24, 2007
By decreasing waste generation, natural, capital, and energy resources are saved so that they can be utilized more
efficiently and effectively for other purposes. By increasing waste utilization, generated wastes are put to their best, most
sustainable use.
Incentives to facilitate pollution prevention practices that reduce waste generation include regulatory benefits, technical
and financial assistance, residential Pay-As-You-Throw disposal pricing, and publicly recognizing those who adopt
appropriate practices. One strategy to reduce waste generation is to encourage product design that produces less waste.
Technologies and practices that generate less waste must be shared among businesses and commercialized if their
benefits are to be realized.
May 24, 2007 :-
DECREASING WASTE GENERATION AND INCREASING WASTE UTILIZATION
To reduce waste generation, Michigan should:
1. Provide incentives for, and remove barriers to, pollution prevention practices that reduce waste generation.
2. Collaborate in regional and national efforts to encourage product design to produce less waste.
3. Encourage research and development to share and commercialize technologies and practices that generate less waste.
4. Provide information to citizens, businesses, governments, and other organizations on why and how to reduce waste
generation.
May 24, 2007
Making a solid waste management decision requires an evaluation of the decision's economic, environmental, and social
impacts. Thus, the best management option must be considered in the context of specific circumstances, and this Solid
Waste Policy's preferences are a framework for evaluating those circumstances.
By making choices not to generate waste in the first place through changing business, manufacturing, or household
practices, or by producing or buying products that generate less waste, Michigan will reduce the need to expend financial,
social, and environmental resources to manage waste. Michigan will facilitate waste management options according to this
preference by educating its citizenry about the options available to avoid waste generation, furthering the development of
infrastructure to reuse and recycle wastes, and ensuring Michigan citizens have access to appropriately priced processing
and disposal options. Additionally, sufficient data and information will be provided so that individuals can make proper
choices.
Michigan's solid waste systems that allow for utilization of resources and safe disposal of residuals are intricately
connected. They are also dependent upon regional, national, and global systems of resource use and disposal. Just as
Michigan-made products are distributed around the globe, we buy products and resources manufactured around the world.
It is important that Michigan develop the infrastructure necessary to utilize wastes by converting them into resources.
These activities create economic benefits and jobs, conserve natural resources, conserve and produce energy, and
generally result in a cleaner environment. All Michigan residents, businesses, institutions, universities, and units of
government have a role to play in encouraging wise choices related to solid waste management. Cooperation is necessary
to ensure roles and responsibilities are appropriate and effective.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
A. Michigan's preference is first to avoid waste generation, then to utilize generated waste for
beneficial purposes and, finally, to properly dispose of what remains. Michigan will facilitate
the selection of waste management options according to this preference.
B. Michigan will make solid waste management decisions recognizing the interrelationship
among global, national, and regional systems of resource use and disposal.
C. Michigan recognizes the distinct roles and responsibilities of public institutions (including
various levels of government), the private sector, and individuals in encouraging and making
choices related to solid waste management.
D. Michigan recognizes that solid waste management choices have short- and long-term
economic, environmental, and social costs and benefits.
May 24, 2007
This overarching statement sets the vision from which all of the succeeding policy statements flow. The entire Solid Waste
Policy must be read as a whole, taking into consideration the above statement. This statement guides solid waste
management decisions to consider impacts on economic vitality, ecological integrity, and improved quality of life. Economic
vitality improves the quality and function of an organization's commercial or social outputs in a profitable manner. Ecological
integrity recognizes the interdependence and promotes the healthy functioning of biological organisms within their
ecosystem. Social equity involves the identification of issues, the development of standards, and the implementation of
programs that address an organization's responsibility for the ethical treatment of individuals, communities, and other
stakeholders. All three of these concepts must be considered when making solid waste management decisions, and none
should be given more weight than the other. Decisions made in this way will foster sustainability and take into account true
costs and benefits. Additionally, the interplay of these three concepts cannot be ignored; they are integral to a sustainable
society.
Everyone makes decisions about how to manage solid waste. Individuals, organizations, institutions, businesses, and local
and state government all make daily choices to generate or not generate waste and to reuse, recycle, or dispose of waste.
This Solid Waste Policy is meant to guide all solid waste management decisions, from those impacting policy on a state
level, all the way down to individual choices about solid waste management options. The word "Michigan"is frequently used
throughout the Solid Waste Policy and includes everyone: citizens, businesses, other organizations, and government.
By recognizing solid waste as a resource, Michigan can more fully realize the economic, environmental, and social benefits
of utilizing materials that may be thought of as waste but that still have inherent value. By thinking about the long-term costs
and benefits of our decisions and creating systems to reduce waste generation and utilize waste that is generated, Michigan
will better capitalize on economic opportunities. These opportunities include job creation, energy savings and production,
and a healthier environment.
May 24, 2007
OVERARCHING SOLID WASTE POLICY STATEMENT
Michigan recognizes solid waste as a resource that
should be managed to promote economic vitality,
ecological integrity, and improved quality of life in a way
that fosters sustainability.

This updated Solid Waste Policy further develops these principles and relates them directly to our challenges of today
and the foreseeable future.-
i
1.
➢ Encouraging choices consistent with solid waste management preferences defined in the Solid Waste Policy.
➢ Developing and maintaining facilities and markets for solid wastes.
➢ Clearly defining the roles of individual units of government in solid waste management.
➢ Adequately funding solid waste management programs at the state and local levels.
➢ Monitoring, evaluating, and continuously improving implementation of Michigan's Solid Waste Policy.
Most importantly, when addressing these challenges, we need to ensure that all impacted parties are involved in the
decision-making process and that the issues are evaluated within the context of the entire Solid Waste Policy to
minimize unintended consequences, especially as the Solid Waste Policy is translated into action. The entire Solid
Waste Policy must be read as a whole, where the overarching statement sets the vision from which all of the
succeeding policy statements flow.
The members of the Solid Waste Policy Advisory Committee are listed in Attachment 1 , and the MDEQ staff who
facilitated the meetings and transformed the Committee's ideas into policy language is listed in Attachment 2.
Michigan is indebted to the members of the Committee, whose thorough and thoughtful deliberations starting in
March 2006 led to the development of, and consensus with, this updated Solid Waste Policy.

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
This 2007 update to Michigan's Solid Waste Policy is intended to guide Michigan in making wise choices for managing
solid wastes. Citizens, businesses, government agencies, institutions, universities, and political leaders all have to
make decisions on how best to address solid waste management in the state, and this Solid Waste Policy provides the
framework for making those decisions.
Much has changed since Michigan adopted its first Solid Waste Policy in 1988. The Solid Waste Policy was adopted
when Michigan was fearful of running out of landfill space; today we have different solid waste management
challenges. Laws and regulations have changed. Technology has changed. Michigan's economy has changed. All of
these changes and the desire to improve how we manage solid wastes prompted stakeholders to recommend that the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) revisit the Solid Waste Policy and update it for the challenges
we face today and in the foreseeable future.
Michigan's updated Solid Waste Policy for 2007 presents a fundamentally different approach to making solid waste
management decisions. It promotes the bold perspective of viewing solid waste as a resource in a global economy
and, rather than prescribing our choices, challenges us to make decisions based on the three principles of
sustainability:
➢ Economic vitality
➢ Ecological integrity
➢ Improved quality of life

BOARD OF PUBLIC SERVICE''
OCTOBER 11, 2007 'r 'Q�/,,',
PRESENT: Paul Baerman,Ron Bloomberg,Matt Flechter, Shirley Rodgers and Alfreda Schmidt
ABSENT: Dale Copedge
STAFF: Rob Antekier, Chad Gamble, Dean Johnson, Christopher Mumby, Victor Rose
and Brian Ross
VISITORS: None
1) CALL TO ORDER:
Chair Bloomberg called the meeting to order at 11:40 a.m., at the Public Service
Department Wastewater Treatment Plant. In the absence of a quorum, members
concurred to conduct a Meeting of the Whole. Mr. Bloomberg asked that there be a
suspension of the rules to address agenda items out of order.
a. Absences: Mr. Bloomberg excused Mr. Copedge.
2) PUBLIC COMMENT: None
3) REPORT OF OFFICERS:
a. Engineering Section: Mr.Bloomberg referred to the Engineering Report dated October
4, 2007. A discussion ensued.
-Ms. Rodgers asked for clarification of the snowmelt system. Mr. Johnson explained that
this is a system of heated pipes cast into concrete.
-Ms. Rodgers said she still has questions regarding the round-a-bout proposed for Jolly
Road at Collins and Dunkel Roads. Mr. Johnson explained that the Transportation
Division of the Planning and Neighborhood Development Department has a contract with
DLZ to evaluate the proposed round-a-bouts on Jolly at Collins and Dunkel Roads. Mr.
Gamble added that the RFP has not been issued and is uncertain of the status. Ms.
Rodgers asked if the Transportation Division has affected potential design on this 20/30
Plan and if the Transportation Division is responsible for considerations for the rounda-
bouts at these locations rather than the Public Service Department. Mr. Johnson
explained this project involves geometries that are generally a traffic control issue. The
planning was referred to the Transportation Division because of their expertise. Ms.
Rodgers stated that she is concerned about wasting money on hiring consultants if this
project does not address public need and that project design proceeds without first
receiving public input. Mr. Gamble explained that this RFP is in the early stage. Public
involvement will be included in the process.
Public Service Board Page 2
October 11, 2007
Mr. Gamble explained that at one time, the Transportation Division was a section of the
Public Service Department. A few years ago,there was an Executive Order issued
moving the Transportation Division under the Planning and Neighborhood Development
Department, and was renamed the Transportation Division and Parking Office. The
Public Service Department and the Planning and Neighborhood Development
Department all believe that the Transportation Division wing of the Transportation and
Parking Office should be returned under the jurisdiction of the Public Service
Department. Mr. Johnson stated the Public Service Department has learned by past
experience the importance of involving the public. A process of a charette will be
implemented on all future major streets and STP projects. If a round-a-bout was ever to
be implemented, it would include a charette process.
12:00 Mr.Flechter arrived(Quorum Present)
Mr.Bloomberg asked members to return items in the order listed on the agenda.
4) APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
a. August 9, 2007:
Mr. Bloomberg asked referred to the first page and asked that, "(quorum present)"
be added after Ms. Rodgers arrival time.
Mr. Baerman moved, Ms. Rodgers seconded, to approve the meeting minutes for
August 9, 2007, as revised.
MOTION CARRIED.
b. September 13 2007—Informational Meeting:
Ms. Schmidt moved, Mr. Baerman seconded, to approve meeting minutes
for September 13, 2007, as submitted.
MOTION CARRIED.
(The Board returned to the Report of Officers)
b. Wastewater Division: Mr. Flechter referred to the report included in the
Board packet. Mr. Ross provided the following highlights:
-Tertiary Building Project- Mr. Ross stated we have not received the preliminary
report. 3.4 Million dollars have been set aside for tertiary building structure
renovations. The walls have bowed out, mold is coming out from the border
joints, there appears to be cracking at the lintels above the windows. There are a
number of items that need identification as to the cause and appropriate
correction. It has taken five years to set aside the funding through the CIP/budget
process to move the project forward. The project was let and awarded to
Malcolm Pirnie Engineers who subcontracted with NTH. NTH found
construction deficiencies that occurred when the building was constructed during
the 1970's. These deficiencies have caused it to fail prematurely. NTH has taken
several sections of the building and removed the brick to ascertain the condition
Public Service Board Page 3
October 11, 2007
behind each brick. It may be less expensive to tear down the walls than snake the
repairs.
-The Division received sole source purchase approval from the Mayor's office to
purchase Duperon screens. These screens provide the headwork of the plant that
screen out larger debris so that downstream processes are protected. This is a 2.5
Million dollar project and installation should begin early next summer. Ms.
Rodgers asked why the Mayor would have to approve a sole source agreement.
Mr. Ross explained that normally, projects are competitively bid in a municipal
environment. If staff identifies a suitable manufacture of equipment, it is
purchasing policy to submit the recommendation to the Mayor for approval.
-Ms. Rodgers asked about the status of the mechanical contractors contract in the
Mayor's office awaiting approval. Mr. Ross explained the Division reviews what
was spent on mechanical contract work throughout the year. A request for bids
went out to vendors seeking information on their service costs, hourly rates, etc.,
and then a recommendation is made for hiring a vendor. The selected contractor
is utilized throughout the year for various mechanical contracting needs. This
year the request is for $75,000. Any purchase recommendation over$15,000
must be approved by the Mayor. Mr. Gamble explained that per City Charter, the
Mayor is the only person who has the authority to execute a contract.
C. Solid Waste Section: The Board discussed the following highlights:
-Ms. Schmidt referred to an informational post card regarding Waste Reduction
and Recycling services. Ms. Schmidt mentioned she received a nice letter from a
member of the Lansing Garden Club who was please with the CSO project and
the City's wastewater systems. Mr. Rose explained that the postcard mailing
coincides with the Green Sheet and a new Yellow Pages ad. The ad lists city
prices for the various services. The Division will soon undergo a marketing audit
and analysis of products, services and demographics. Waste Reduction Services
has generated large supplies of top grade soil and compost by utilizing yard waste
picked up curbside. The city saves money by not hauling the waste to Granger in
addition to using the products for city parks and selling high grade compost and
soil to the public.
d. Operations and Maintenance Section: Ms. Rodgers provided the
following highlights:
-Ms. Rodgers asked for information regarding the Larch Street/S. Lake Lansing
Avenue accident where the City is to replace the attenuator. Mr. Antekier
explained the Division was informed there were a couple of lanes closed on Larch
and Cedar due to an accident that flattened an attenuator. Mr. Antekier described
the damage. Ms. Rodgers wanted to be sure the city recovers the $10,000 loss by
way of a subrogation claim. Mr. Antekier indicated that is the city's intent.
Public Service Board Page 4
October 11, 2007
-Mr. Baerman mentioned a fall involving a woman injured on a City sidewalk that
that had been damaged by a private contractor. Mr. Gamble will look into the
incident and follow up with the Board.
5) DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
A. Mr. Gamble provided the following highlights:
-The Public Service Department will play a major role in the coordination of the
infrastructure improvements in the downtown area. There are three large developments
planned on Grand Avenue. One is the State Police Headquarters to be located at the
corner of Grand Avenue and Kalamazoo Street. There are two developments in motion
located to the north that will involves City Club and the South Grand Parking Ramp and
the blocks involving the Ottawa Street Power Station where the Accident Fund
headquarters are be located. There will be six blocks under construction on the eastern
side of Grand Avenue over the next two years. The North Grand Ramp Expansion
section will be removed. The Public Service Department is also coordinating
reconstruction of Grand Avenue between St. Joseph Avenue and Shiawassee Street. The
project will begin next year and will include streetscape enhancements.
-The round-a-bout located at the intersection of Michigan and Washington is nearly
complete. An opening ceremony is scheduled for next week. Board members will be
notified.
-There are several CSO projects in the planning stage.
-There is a large project involving Moores River Drive and Northrup.
-Progress is being made on the North Washington project. Coordinating utility work
during this project has been very difficult.
-Budget Preparation—Mr. Gamble reported that the first budget meeting is scheduled
October 18, 2007. There will be several changes implemented with the new fiscal year
budget. The City will have the ability to involve the collection of more commodities and
utilize the Transfer Station building to protect equipment. Significant improvements are
planned at the Wastewater Treatment Plant that will increase tertiary building capacity.
This will play an important role with regard to the SSO/CSO Program evaluation. The
evaluation will be finalized and should be available for the November meeting or at the
very latest, for the December meeting.
-Ms. Rodgers expressed concern regarding lane closures associated with construction at
the Lottery Building by the Lansing State Journal on Lenawee. The traffic control is very
confusing. Ms. Rodgers asked if construction activities are coordinated with the City.
Traffic control will be an important consideration in planning the new development
construction activities. Mr. Gamble stated the Engineering Division tries to coordinate
with all other agencies and businesses that are planning construction in any given area to
be sure there are not conflicts, confusion, and overlap. On many occasions, a contractor
will close down a lane of traffic without first notifying the city. This situation has been
prevalent throughout the N.Washington project. Mr. Johnson stated this is a problem
every construction season.
Public Service Board Page 5
October 11, 2007
-Mr.Baerman asked if the enclosed walkway between the North Grand Ramp and the
Lansing Center will stay intact. Mr. Gamble stated it is unknown at this time.
-Mr.Bloomberg asked what is planned for the traffic circle at Michigan and Washington.
Mr. Gamble said a fountain design is underway. All of the necessary utilities we
included when constructing the round-a-bout to accommodate the mechanical needs of
operating the fountain.
-Ms. Schmidt asked if staffing budgets have been given consideration in view of this
activity. It is important to fund for sufficient staffing when building a budget. Sufficient
staff funding is a key element of budget priorities when planning for these big projects.
Mr. Gamble stated we will need help to keep up with our goals and objectives. The
administration will try to avoid staff layoffs. Mr. Gamble stated we are at a critical
staffing point and hope the new development will created a revenue funding resource.
Ms. Rodgers explained that we want to support local businesses but at some point,we
are better served if we can have competent staff that we trust to do the job. You do not
always save money or get quality work when depending on outside people to perform the
work. Ms.Rodgers stated she supports Ms. Schmidt's comments and as we look at the
budget,we need to use this rationale in recommendations seeking Council support. It is
impossible to have quality work and not hire the people to do it.
-Mr. Bloomberg had questions about the executive summary that addresses rain events
beyond the five-year standard and if the executive summary will be available for the
November meeting. Mr. Gamble stated that at this point,the department is not satisfied
with the format of the summary. The executive summary will be the document that most
people will review. The report involves future expenditures of three quarters of the
billions dollars. The draft document is geared for the engineer rather than the layperson.
The consultant was encouraged to use different language making the report more
expansive,provide a little history, and make it a layperson's document rather than a
technical document.
B. Engineering Budget Overview:
-Mr. Gamble stated he has a packet of information that he will bring to the next meeting.
Mr.Baerman noted that those who have been on the Board for a while have a good sense
of the general budget process. Mr.Baerman explained that the Board will have little
influence over budgetary items that are mandated. However,Mr.Baerman asked that the
departmental priorities, for which the Board may have input,be regularly included at
monthly meetings so the Board is not wasting their time. Mr. Baerman explained that the
Board has not had any opportunity to influence any budget decisions. Ms.Rodgers
agreed with Mr.Baerman to the extent of a summary of budget actions is not sufficient to
be a part of the decision making process. Ms.Rodgers explained that with regard to
federally mandated items,the Board should be able advocate for the department's ability
to continue to fund mandated items. Ms. Rodgers stated that the department needs to
communicate to the Board that if the budget goes below a certain point,then it will affect
the department's ability to meet these federal requirements. Mr.Baerman explained the
Board could be involved with making decisions regarding non-mandated items.
-Mr. Gamble asked that each Board member to bring a list of priorities to the November
meeting.
Public Service Board Page 6
October 11, 2007
-Mr. Johnson mentioned the CSO evaluation study has been morphed into one big
program that includes CSO control review, SSO implementation recommendation, and
storm water implementation plan. This recommended program will be brought to the
Board with the hopes of Board support. Significant changes are being considered. This
is a large dollar value program. The department will need to make a recommendation on
how combine all of these programs into one.
Mr. Gamble left the meeting at 1:10 to attend to other obligations.
(6) PENDING ITEMS:
a. Council Priorities: These are not yet available. Mr. Gamble stated they
would soon be available on City's web site.
b. Ms. Schmidt wanted the status of the City of Lansing/Lansing Township
relationship with regard to sewer capacity issues. Mr. Johnson
explained the city is still trying to work through this process.
The meeting adjourned at 1:35p.m.

VISITORS: None
1) CALL TO ORDER:
Vice Chair Bloomberg called the meeting to order at 11:55 a.m., at the Public Service
Department Wastewater Treatment Plant. In the absence of a quorum, members

July 12, 2007
-Mr. Rose reported that all sidewalk-grinding projects are complete. The project cost$4,500
rather than $18,000 it would have cost if sidewalk slabs had been replaced. Mr. Baerman asked
about the status of the sidewalk replacement program. Mr. Rose stated the Gap Closure Program
was funded in the FY08 Budget. Mr. Gamble added the gaps will be filled based on vehicle
traffic and pedestrian traffic. The 50/50 split for the sidewalk program passed by City Council
has drastically reduced the amount of sidewalks that can be replaced.
b. Wastewater Section
-Mr. Ross stated that several reports are due to MDEQ this month and summarized a few of the
highlights contained in the reports.
12:10 Mr. Copedge arrived.
3) DIRECTOR'S REPORT
-Mr. Gamble reported on the environmental logo competition. Mr. Copedge noted it is important
that the logo that is used is not in violation of copyright laws.
-CSO Control Program Project Plan Amendment No. 3: Working with Malcolm Pirnie
Consultants in preparing the report that should be completed within the next month. The review
includes looking at CSO/SSO and Phase I1 Programs and the efficacy of continuing the CSO
Program. The evaluation includes all watersheds and cost effective ways to manage the
programs. Mr. Gamble distributed a draft document of the CSO evaluation. Mr. Gamble noted
the document is still in draft form and plans to present the final version to the Board prior to the
formal presentation to the Mayor's. Mr. Bloomberg asked that Board members be given a copy
of the document in advance of the Board review.
-Mr. Gamble reported on the annual conferences both he and Mr. Ross have recently attended
noting the City has been very well represented.
-Rain Gardens ground breaking ceremony for the first planting is scheduled for sometime in
August. Board members will be invited to the event. Mr. Gamble added this program has
provided another opportunity to work with the various businesses in the area with storefront
issues. The city is working with the Principal Shopping District on an"Adopt a Garden"
Program. Mr. Gamble distributed a map with locations showing who has adopted a garden to
date.
-The city has discontinued the Local Preference Program for projects projected to cost more than
.5 Million dollars. A discussion ensued regarding using local vendors and their potential to bid
for larger projects.
12:15 Mr. Johnson arrived.
-Ms. Schmidt asked for an update regarding issues associated with the Lansing Township Sewer
Agreement. Ms. Schmidt asked if the Lansing sewer system has the capacity to serve the
Township. Mr. Gamble explained that the system was originally designed to serve Lansing
Township needs at that time. The SSO Master Plan revealed through hydraulic software that
there would be wet weather problems downstream. The city cannot certify that the threat of
Public Service Board Page 3
July 12, 2007
additional inflow will not affect the downstream residents. Ms. Rodgers stated she does not
believe there have been efforts to work out the differences between the city and the Township and
that the city is acting as if they do not want to partner and that is what the Township is declaring.
Ms. Rodgers added that the city never raised concerns at stakeholder meetings and made it a last
minute issue. Mr. Gamble explained that `denial"has never been expressed in communications
with Lansing Township. The city received initial plans in April and the city has had very little
time to analyze the plans submitted. Mr. Gamble explained that without the collection system, it
would be very difficult for Lansing Township to expand and meet the Master Plan requirements.
Ms. Schmidt stated that the city looks very weak in this current situation adding that the Mayor
needs to take a much more active role with these issues and not put the burden on his staff.
4) APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

Ms. Schmidt moved, Mr. Baerman seconded,
MOTION CARRIED,to approve the minutes submitted for May 10, 2007, as amended.

REGULAR MEETING
OF THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC SERVICE
MAY 10, 2007
PRESENT: Paul Baerman, Ron Bloomberg, Dale Copedge, Matt Flechter,
Shirley Rodgers and Alfreda Schmidt
ABSENT: None
STAFF: Chad Gamble, Scott House,Dean Johnson, Alec Malvetis, Christopher Mumby,Victor
Rose, and Brian Ross
VISITORS: Stanley Fedewa
1) CALL TO ORDER:
Chair Flechter called the meeting to order at 11:55 a.m., at the Public Service Department
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Mr. Bloomberg asked for a suspension of the rules to cover agenda
items out of order. All members concurred.
a. Absences: None
2) REPORT OF OFFICERS: April 2007
a. Engineering Section: Mr. Bloomberg referred to the Engineering Status Report included in the
Board packet noting he had nothing to add. Mr. Johnson provided the following highlights:
-Malcolm Pirnie Inc. was awarded the proposal to complete an overall evaluation of CSO
program.
-Discussion of the recent gas main breaks in the downtown CSO areas: Mr. Johnson explained
that the City is working with utility companies, Consumers Energy in particular, to make sure gas
lines are properly marked before digging occurs. Consumers Energy has agreed to have a
knowledgeable employee at the work site during construction activities. The City has executed a
written demand that there must be a long-term Consumers Energy employee available. Utility
lines must be marked within 18"of the location and if there is any doubt, the utility company
must locate it before the contractors begin to work in that location. Mr. Gamble explained that
Consumers Energy failed to locate the gas lead on Michigan Avenue even after two requests to do
so. In an effort to prevent future incidents, Miss Dig and the utility companies need to do a better
job marking lines.
-There was a brief discussion of road projects: Cavanaugh between Aurelius and Dunkel; and
Haag Rd between Miller and MLK- Mr. Johnson stated there will be more detail at the next
Board meeting. Ms. Schmidt asked if Cavanaugh Road will be widened due to heavy traffic
leading to Hawk Island. Mr. Johnson said that the road will not be widened. However,the road
Public Service Board Page 2
May 10, 2007
will be reconstructed, curb and gutter installed, and straightened to tie in with the right angle of
the intersection.
-Construction in the 200 and 300 blocks of North Washington Square is scheduled to begin
within six to seven weeks.
-Ms. Rodgers asked for an update on the dispute with DLZ regarding the Elm Street Bridge. Mr.
Johnson reported that a settlement was reached regarding design deficiencies. Mr. Gamble added
that the agreement is still to be reviewed by the City Attorney's office. Ms. Rodgers asked if the
situation is not resolved with the consultant,what will happen to future contracts.
-Potter Park: Ms. Rodgers asked for an update regarding the sewer problem at the Potter Park
Zoo. Mr. Johnson explained that the zoo had problems with the sewer system/inflow sources
connected to the sanitary sewer creating extra inflow to our system. This pollution source goes
into the storm sewer system and dumps into the pond that captures all storm flow. The fecal
count is very high because of the animal waste. Ms. Rodgers wondered if there was any
mitigation responsibility before the park is turned over to the county. Mr. Gamble explained that
the study commenced two years ago. I &I investigations reveal an infrastructure issue. Mr.
Johnson added the animal pens dump directly into the river. The monkey pens need to be
connected to the sanitary sewer system.
b. Wastewater Section
-Mr. Ross stated that several reports are due to MDEQ this month and summarized a few of the
highlights contained in the reports.
12:20 Mr. Copedge arrived.
c. Waste Reduction Service Section
-Ms. Schmidt had nothing to add to the report submitted in the packet. Mr. House explained that
EPA region five will work with urban communities in pursuit of a grant to analyze why people
are not using the recycling program.
d. Operations and Maintenance Section
-Ms. Rodgers indicated there is conflicting information in the reports.
-Mr. House discussed the sidewalk grinding program that will save the City money by helping to
prevent the need to replace damaged sidewalk flags. The cost savings is significant.
-Mr. Gamble reported that due to cost,the time of sale program was not recommended in the
administrative budget. The City would have large repair costs because of the extent of city
owned property and adjacent sidewalks.
Mr. Johnson added that there are areas where there are not any sidewalks. The additional cost to
the City would be$700,000 per annum to implement the program. Ms. Rodgers said that this
issue should have been part of Board discussions during the budget process.
3) APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
a. February 15, 2007—Mr. Bloomberg pointed out that on page one,the spelling of
Ms. Rodgers' name needs to be corrected.

4) DIRECTOR'S REPORT
a. CSO Projects, Plan Review, and Construction Update
-Mr. Gamble introduced Alec Malvetis, Assistant City Engineer. Mr. Gamble explained that Mr.
Malvetis came from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and has extensive
experience that will be a big asset to the Public Service Department. Mr. Malvetis' key role will
be to administer the CSO Program. Introductions were made. Mr. Copedge congratulated Mr.
Malvetis noting his excellent background with the MDEQ. Mr. Malvetis gave an update of the
CSO projects currently underway. All four projects are in the downtown area and progressing on
schedule. Discussion of the recent problems regarding unmarked utilities ensued. Mr. Copedge
wondered if penalties could be assessed to contractors for delays. Mr. Gamble explained if
contractors ignore markings and there is a problem causing the job to shut down,they may be
held responsible. If the utility is miss-marked and there is a problem causing the job to shut
down,the contractor should not be held at fault. In this case,the utility company must come to
the site and fix the problem. Mr. Bloomberg mentioned if the City had a claim against a utility, it
might be covered by a franchise and some utilities are grandfathered in. Mr. Rose stated that the
City of Lansing is named as an additional insured on all contracts.
12:45 Mr. Baerman arrived.
-Mr. Gamble reported that the RFP to complete the five year evaluation of the CSO program, was
awarded to Malcolm Pirnie. The purpose of the evaluation is to make sure the program is on
track. A possible blending of CSO/SSO project plan will be examined. The evaluation is due in
2008. Part of the process involves working with the Board on the education facet.
-The City just received approval for$27 Million in SU loans. This is the largest amount
received to date.
-CSO Control Program Project Plan Amendment No. 3 —The MDEQ requires a Project Plan
Amendment every five years. A few items under consideration include program costs, a
modification to the bulk of the program, and general benchmarks. A public hearing is scheduled
May 30, 2007 presenting the Plan Amendment to the public. Information and the draft document
are available for review on the Public Service Department web-site. Construction costs are
estimated at$150 Million for the next five years.
Public Service Board Page 4
May 10, 2007
-Mr. Flechter asked if the Traffic Board and the Public Service Board will be consolidated once
the Transportation Division and Public Service Department are merged.
-Mr. Gamble reported that the streetscape program is progressing on schedule.
4. ACTION ITEMS:
a. Approval of the Budget Proposal FY-08
A discussion ensued regarding the budget proposal for FY-08 and the manner in which the
information was presented to the Board. Mr. Gamble expressed the importance of Board
participation in the budget process and the need to establish budget priorities for the next fiscal
year.
Mr. Bloomberg stated he is not in a position to comment on the budget proposal because he was
absent from the meeting when it was presented. Ms. Rodgers stated the Board is in violation of
the City Charter by not providing a timely recommendation to the administration and suggested
taking action may not be necessary at this point. Mr. Flechter felt it important that the Board
have a voice in the process.
Mr. Fedewa referred to the difficulty getting the information to the Board for review and
discussion. The Board needs to review comparisons and implement best practices. The Board
must have time to decide if the proposal is what the Board wants to support. Mr. Baerman
pointed out that he attended the Board meeting when budget materials were presented and the
meeting where Mr. Ambrose, Director of Finance, made a presentation to the Board. Though
there was not ample time to make a thorough analysis of the proposed budget, he recognizes that
the Public Service Department is not attempting hide anything from the Board. The Departments
were not given timely direction for preparation,which in turn, caused a delay in presenting the
proposed budget to the Board.
Mr. Baerman moved to approve the budget proposal for FY 08 as established and as presented by
the staff of the Public Service Department. Mr. Bloomberg moved to call the question. Ms.
Schmidt seconded the motion,
MOTION CARRIED,to approve the budget proposal for FY 08 as established and as presented
by the staff of the Public Service Department.
Yeas: 5 Abstention: 1 —Shirley Rodgers
1:20 Ms. Schmidt left the meeting to attend to another obligation.
Mr. Rose mentioned that the Department begins compiling budget materials in September and
October. Mr. Flechter stated the Board should start the process as early as August and suggested
that an item be placed on the agenda for monthly Board meetings. Mr. Baerman pointed out the
need for Public Service staff to provide direction to the Board. Mr. Fedewa stated that City
Council members indicate they do pay attention to what the various Boards have to say.
5. OTHER BUSINESS:
a. Mr. Copedge mentioned there is interest in a bike path in the Colonial Village area.
Public Service Board Page 5

To: Public Service Board
From: Chad Gamble,Director of Public Service
Date: March 6, 2007
Re: Proposed Budget for 2008 Fiscal Year
It is my pleasure to present to you the Department of Public Service Budget submittal to the
Mayor for his consideration and subsequent submittal to Council for adoption. In previous years
the Department's proposed budget was submitted in January or February. I regret that this
submittal was unable to meet the previous budget submittal time line.
As this is my first year as Director, I am learning the intricacies of the budget and how difficult it
is to bring to you a budget that will represent what will actually be submitted to Council, in a
timely fashion. I believe that, upon investigation, the budget that was submitted to the Public
Service Board in recent years, in many areas, differed greatly from the "final version" of the
budget eventually submitted by the Mayor to Council.
This budget was exceedingly difficult to put together and it wasn't until February 23, 2006 when
we received our Departmental expenditure targets.
I would be remised in not mentioning the very hard work of each of the Division Heads, Dean
Johnson,Brian Ross, and Scott House as well as the Departmental Coordinator Christopher
Mumby in the production of this document.
Our Budget Team would be pleased to answer any questions you may have regarding our FY 08
budget submittal. I would also ask, after your review and consultation,that you offer your
support:for our budget submittal. Thank you.

PUBLIC SERVICE DEPARTMENT
Budqet Summary
Missions and Roles: The Public Service Department is responsible for engineering, construction,
regulation, maintenance, and operation of roads, bridges, sidewalks, storm and sanitary sewers, and
wastewater processing facilities. The Department operates the City's solid waste regulation and collection
system and waste reduction services through its recycling program. It also provides interdepartmental
engineering assistance on City construction projects.
Activities of the Department are primarily supported through: General Fund, the Act 51 Major and Local
Streets Special Revenue Funds, Sewage Disposal System Enterprise Fund, Garbage and Refuse Collection
Enterprise Fund, Recycling Enterprise Fund, Service Garage Internal Service Fund, and the Administration
and Engineering Internal Service Fund.
I. ADMINISTRATION & ENGINEERING:
Major Activities: The Administration and Engineering Division provides oversight and technical support to the
operating divisions of the Public Service Department and to other City departments, including preparation of
construction plans and specifications, records and maps, construction management, inspection and
regulation, development of maintenance priorities, and other special projects. It is responsible for Civil
Engineering functions, such as the design of roads and the City's combined sewer overflow program. It is
operated as an internal service fund and its activities are funded from the General Fund, Sewer Fund, Act 51
funds, refuse and recycling funds, service garage funds, and various construction and grant sources.
II. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Manor Activities: The street and sewer crews in this Division are responsible for the maintenance and repair
of City streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, sewers, bridges, and pedestrian overpasses. These crews are
involved in crack filling, resurfacing, pothole repair, sweeping, salting, snow removal operations, sewer
cleaning, repair, inspection and replacement.
Within Act 51 Major and Local Streets Funds are budgets for routine maintenance of streets and bridges
which are managed by the Operations and Maintenance Division of the Department, and traffic control
systems which are under the management of the Planning and Neighborhood Development Department's
Transportation Division and Parking Office. The State of Michigan contracts with the City and provides
funding within the Major Streets Fund for maintenance and repairs to roadway and traffic control systems on
State trunklines. The Funds support administration for these programs, and remaining available money is
used for major capital maintenance activities for roads, bridges, and traffic control systems, in accordance
with Public Act 51 of 1951, as amended. Revenue for the fund is largely derived from formula allocations
from the State of Michigan Gas and Weight tax and is restricted to road related purposes under law.
The Garbage and Refuse Collection Fund is another part of the Operations and Maintenance Division.
Included is funding for collection of bulk refuse items which is seen as a means of ensuring that City
residents have ready access and can properly dispose of large refuse items. A fee is charged for purchase of
stickers to support this service, and low income individuals can apply for free stickers for bulk disposal
through the Public Service Department. Also included is funding for weekly refuse pick-up utilizing City
imprinted trash bags ("Blue Bags") which are sold through local merchants, or refuse carts ("Blue Billy
Program")which are billed on a quarterly basis and are available by calling the Department. A hallmark of
the system, which operates in the private market, is providing volume based collection. This is intended to
compliment Recycling efforts,by making refuse disposal less expensive for residents who make regular use
of the City's recycling program. Revenue is derived from fees for purchase of bags, and from quarterly billing
for container services.
The Recycling Fund is supports Operations and Maintenance Division activities, including weekly curbside
collection of a range of recyclable materials and organic yard waste for compost, serving residences with
four or less units. Under ordinance, larger residential complexes, and commercial and industrial operations
are required to recycle and the Department is charged with oversight of this activity. Funding is provided to
operate a transfer station for collected goods which provides for the preparation of collected materials for
market.The General Fund provides funding to employ City workers with job related injuries, who are
restricted to light duty, to sort goods to improve their marketability.The Work Hardening program operates to
reduce potential workers compensation costs. Finally, the budget provides for citizen education as to the
desirability and means of recycling. Revenue is derived from a fee placed on residential units, along with
proceeds from sale of collected materials, and is restricted to operating the Recycling program.
The Service Garage Fund is an internal service fund which owns, maintains, fuels, and rents the various
vehicles used within the Public Service Department. It is now managed by the Central Garage under the
Finance Department, but the budget was created by the Public Service the Operations and Maintenance
Division. Rental rates, exclusive of those for Recycling and Refuse vehicles, are established annually
through the Michigan Department of Transportation. Such rates are the amounts that can legally be charged
for State Trunkline related work. The Fund is also used as a funding conduit for collection of building rental
fees from the various Public Service Department Funds to pay debt service costs for the Operations and
Maintenance Building. The Service Garage fund is also used for the Department's Technical Equipment
Replacement Program ("TERP").
III. SEWAGE FUND (WASTEWATER)
Major Activities: The Wastewater Division has two primary responsibilities: The repair, maintenance and
operation of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and pump stations to ensure the City meets the federal
requirements for effluent, and the monitoring of industrial waste.
The Sewage Disposal System Fund includes a portion of the Engineering Internal Fund budget (645)for
activities related to the City's Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) abatement project. It funds operation and
maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant and pump stations, and testing and monitoring of industrial
effluent under the management of the Wastewater Division of the Department. Funding is provided for
assessment, cleaning, repairs, complaint resolution, and hook-up to the sanitary sewer system which is
managed by the Operations and Maintenance Division of the Department.
Finally, all capital project activity relating to the sanitary sewer system,which includes the CSO elimination
project, and all debt service incurred in the maintenance and development of the sanitary sewer system, has
been supported by the Fund. The anticipated annual rate growth of the system remains at 4%. The Sewage
Fund's revenue is largely derived from a fee based on water consumption and collected under administrative
agreement with the Lansing Board of Water and Light. Proceeds of this fee are restricted to sewer
processing and collection systems and activities, per ordinance and bonding covenants.
Additional funding may be utilized, as available, from bond proceeds and interest on existing bond issues,
Federal E.P.A. and Transportation Funds, Michigan Department of Transportation and Michigan Department
of Environmental Quality Grants, State Revolving Loan Funds, the Lansing Building Authority, Tax Increment
Finance Authority, Special Assessments, and the City's Community Development Block Grant.
Debt Service. With the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality's policy of"Alternative Justifiable
Expense (AJE)"and inflation related cost changes, a lesser percentage of Combined Sewer Overflow costs
were eligible for State Revolving Loan Fund funding in FY 2004, FY 2005 and the FY2006 budget year. The
debt servicing costs increase as more market based bonding is needed to offset subsidized State Revolving
(SRF) Loan funds.
Low Income Sewer Credit. Based upon the Michigan Home Heating Credit, a low income sewer credit
eases the administrative burden of the program. It is estimated that $120,000 will be credited to qualifying
low income home owners within Lansing.

Description of Proposed change(s)
Implement a Time of Sale Sidewalk Program -As requested in the Council Resolution for Budget
Priorities, this is a program to enact the Sidewalk Inspection Due to Sale of Property as well as a program
that would allow property owners to pay for the replacemnt/repair of deteriorating sidewalks and be
reimbursed by the City for its share of the cost." The program is modeled after the City of Grand Rapids
program and incorporates existing City of Lansing Ordinances, to create the opportunity for the City to
require sidewalk installation or repairs at the time of sale and an opportunity for the property owners to
complete sidewalk repairs on their own initative and be reimbursed by the City for a share of the costs.
See attached memo for additional information.
Service Level Implications
Service Levels will increase by providing needed sidewalk improvements throughout the City.
Perceived Barriers/Resources Needed
The program would require additional staffing needs, 1 full time and 4 seasonal engineering staff would be
needed. The net cost to the general fund is estimated to be $626,243 per year.
Impacts to other Departments unless noted above
Impacts to other Departments would include: Purchasing - additional construction contracts; Finance -
receipt of deposits and issuance of reimbursement checks.

MEMO
TO: Dean Johnson, City Engineer
FROM: Jane Dykema,Assistant City Engineer
DATE: January 12,2007
SUBJECT: Time of Sale Sidewalk Program
At your request, we are providing the following information regarding the implementation of
the proposed Time of Sale Sidewalk Program.
Introduction
The following paragraph is from the Council Resolution for Budget Priorities, printed
10/27/06. Sidewalk Repairs: The Administration should provide Council,for their review,
the ordinance and mechanism to enact the Sidewalk Inspection Due to Sale of Property as
well as a program that would allow Property owners to pay for the replacement/repair of
deteriorating sidewalks and be reimbursed by the City for its share of the cost.
An assumption made in preparing this information is that the Time of Sale Sidewalk Repair
program will comply with current City Ordinances that require the City to share with
property owners (both residential and commercial), in the cost for sidewalk repair or new
construction.
City Ordinances require the following cost sharing:
• City pays 50% of the cost to replace deteriorated sidewalk
• City pays 50% of the cost to construct new sidewalk.
• City pays 100% of the cost to replace sidewalk if the damage was caused by a tree in
the City right-of-way
• The property owner pays 100% if the damage was caused by the property owner.
A program that would allow property owners to pay for the replacement/repair of sidewalk
and be reimbursed by the City for its share of the cost would be very similar to the Time of
Sale program and is incorporated into the plan.
The Time of Sale program is modeled after the City of Grand Rapids program. There is,
however, a difference between sidewalk repair ordinances and policies in the two cities:
• Grand Rapids does not participate in new sidewalk or sidewalk repair costs, with
very few exceptions, The exceptions are for sidewalk replaced to facilitate other

infrastructure projects and sidewalk included in CDBG funded projects. ADA
ramps at intersections are included in CDBG projects.
• Lansing participates in the costs as outlined above.
Summary- Cost to Implement
Staffing needs
The salary cost is estimated to be $167,000 including fringes
• One full time and four seasonal engineering staff will be needed to implement
this program in the first year. After the first year, one fall time and three
seasonals will be needed. The extra seasonal will be needed in the first year to
assist with staff duties while the program to license sidewalk contractors is
developed and implemented.
Operating Costs
Transportation cost is estimated to be$10,000
• Employee owned vehicles, reimbursed $0.48 per mile
• 4 seasonal employees /20 miles per day/30 weeks
• 1 fall time employee/30 miles per day/50 weeks
Additional Operating Costs are estimated to be $8,600
City share of sidewalk costs
$700,000 is the estimated cost for City share in the sidewalk repair and construction
expenses as per City Ordinances.
• This is based on estimates of the amount of sidewalk work that will be generated
by this program as outlined below.
Revenue
• Revenue generated from fees for licenses and permits will total $252,000
Total estimated program net cost in FY 2008 is $626,243.
Projram Outline
The following program parameters have been determined based upon available data and City
Ordinances.
• New sidewalk construction will be required where there is no sidewalk at time of sale
• City will share in all sidewalk costs as per City Ordinance
0 100%for City trees
0 50%normal deterioration
0 50%new construction
0 100%City for ADA ramps at intersections
0 100%owner cost for damage caused by owner
• If work is completed by the property owner and outside of a City project,
reimbursement will be based on average annual contract unit prices
• Property sales= 2,500 per year (based on sales data provided by the City Assessor's
office)
0 50 sales per week (2,500 divided by 50 weeks)
0 10 sales per day (this will be higher during peak sales periods and result in
overtime costs)
Jane Dvkcina Pnae 7 2MP)0n-7
25% of the sales will need new sidewalk construction (25% of city does not have
sidewalk)
• 15% of the total sales will not need sidewalk repair (review of last 2 sidewalk project
area surveys)
• 60% of the sales will involve existing sidewalk that will need repair
Inspections /Initial visit
• 10 inspections per day (1 per sale)
• Each inspection requires 45 minutes for site visit, drive time and paperwork
• 7.5 hours per day / plus 2 — 20 minute breaks and 20 minute load/unload time / 8.5
hours per day(will be higher in peak season)
• Overtime or additional staff needed 0.5 hours per day / 5 days per week. / 50 weeks /
125 hours per year
• 1.25 full time employee for initial inspections
• Revenue generated from 2,500 inspections per year and$75 fee is $187,500.
Homeowner Options
There are two options available to the property owner for sidewalk work. That person will
be able to:
1) Provide a cash deposit to the City and have the City complete the necessary repairs
2) Hire a licensed contractor to complete the work
Staff with the City of Grand Rapids report that nearly all property owners opt to provide a
cash deposit and have the City complete the repairs. Grand Rapids administers 10 sidewalk
contracts, at approximately $100,000 each, every year to complete the $1,000,000 worth of
work tamed over to the City each year. Grand Rapids does not provide funding in addition
to cash deposits from the property owners for these projects.
City,completed repairs
95% of property owners will opt to have City complete the required time of sale sidewalk
work. Cost Analysis:
City completed/contract work
• 2,125 properties will need new sidewalk or sidewalk repair
• 95% of the property owners opt for City to do the work
• 2,000 properties will be added to sidewalk contracts administered by the Public
Service Department Engineering Division
• 200,000 square feet of sidewalk will be replaced
0 Based upon a review of recent sidewalk repair contracts
0 40% of sidewalk will need to be repaired per parcel
o Typical lot has 50' frontage & 5`wide sidewalk = 250 square feet per
parcel, 2,000 parcels = 500,000 square feet. If 40% of area needs repair=
200,000 square feet will need repair.
Typical repair contract is 40,000 square feet, 320 parcels needing repair, $170,000
total project amount and $120,000 City share of project amount (70% city share),
$4.25 average unit cost
• Need 5 typical contracts, $850,000 total projects amount, $600,000 City share
• 2.5 seasonal employees needed for the construction season to manage contracts
Jane Dykema Page 3 3/7/2007
Property owner completed repairs
5% of property owner will opt to complete the work themselves or hire a contractor. Cost
Analysis:
• 125 properties owners will opt to hire a contractor to complete the work
0 125 permits issued /30 weeks/5 permits per week/ 1 per day
0 30 minutes per permit
o Form inspections and final inspections will need to be done for permitted
work
0 2 inspection per day/45 minutes each/ 1.5 hours
0 2 inspection plus 1 permit per day/2 hours per day
0 1 person needed for 2 hours a day for oversight of permitted work
during the construction season (0.25 seasonal employee)
Licensed Contractors
A sidewalk builder's license will be required for anyone performing sidewalk, driveway
approach,retaining wall, and curb & gutter work in the City.
• Licensees will be required to:
o Pass a written examination prepared and administered by the Engineering
Division
o Pay the current license fee. Proposed fee is $500.00. Current Grand
Rapids annual fee is $90 for ls`year and $65 for each renewal.
o Furnish a Surety Bond ($4,000 is used in Grand Rapids)
o Furnish a Certificate of Insurance that names theCity as additional insured
and insures against liability in the following amounts:
■ Bodily injury/Property Damage - $500,000 single limit per
occurrence
■ Worker's Compensation — Statutory (needs to be reviewed by
Purchasing)
• 50 contractors are estimated to obtain licenses
o Grand Rapids reports that about 80 contractors are licensed
o Tally of past permit holders and local contractors indicates 50 contractors
might obtain licenses
• Implementation will require 1 person for 6 months start up period.
o Tasks will include updating written standards, preparing test, scheduling test
dates, scoring the tests, collecting surety bonds and certificates of insurance,
issuing licenses.
o Preparation activities would have to start in April, 2007 if the program is to
begin on July 1, 2007.
o Yearly renewals will fall within a two month time period,
0 50 license renewals/ 8 weeks / 6 license renewals per week/ 1 per day
o 1 seasonal employee to relieve full time staff member of normal duties
during this implementation process.
• Revenue generated is $25,000.

The Honorable Virg Bernero
Council President Harold Leeman, Jr. and
Members of Lansing City Council
Lansing City Hall
124 West Michigan Avenue
Lansing, MI 48933
Dear Mayor Bernero, Council President Leeman and Council Members:
During 2006, the Board of Public Service worked with the Public Service Department on
many issues related to the infrastructure of the City. Following are some of the
significant activities and achievements of the Department during the year.
1. Approximately 15.5 miles of streets were repaired, improved and upgraded. In
addition, the Department has prepared, (completed in January 2007) using
ROADSOFT software, a complete condition assessment of the City streets and a
five-year program for maintaining the streets in an efficient and economical
fashion.
2. The Department constructed over 50,000 square feet of new sidewalk to fill in
gaps of the sidewalk network and replaced approximately 52,000 square feet of
sidewalk to provide safer routes for pedestrians.
3. The Department continues to work with MDOT on the barrier wall to provide relief
to the residents from the highway noise on US-127. This project is expected to
be completed in 2007.
4. The Department completed reconstruction of the Grand River Bridge in Old
Town.
5. The Department continued its 30-year Combined Sewer Overflow program by
completing its 15th year of the program, separating a total of 3,558 acres of the
7,167 acres of the City that were originally served by combined sewers, and
reducing the average amount of raw sewage that overflows annually to the river
from combined sewers by 550 million gallons.
6. The Wastewater Treatment Plant successfully treated 6 billion gallons in
compliance with all State and Federal standards, including the City's NPDES
Permit, and without any final effluent discharge violations. The Department
continues to improve the efficiency of its operation of the plant through, among
other things, continued expansion and utilization of the Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition ("SCADA") system.
7. The Department continued to participate with the Greater Lansing regional
Committee on Storm Water and in October 2006 submitted the City's Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Initiative to the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality.
The Board of Public Service hereby adopts the attached Public Service Department
Achievements, Initiatives, and Challenges for 2006, as the Board's Annual Report and
submits it to the Mayor and Lansing City Council for consideration in compliance with
the Lansing City Charter.
Sincerely,
Ronald W. Bloomberg, Vice-Chairper
1 Board of Public Service
Enclosures: Public Service Department Division Reports
Public Service Department
The Public Service Department (PSD) functions as the backbone of the City as it is charged with
the installation,rehabilitation, operation,protection, study, and oversight of the public
infrastructure and the providing of basic municipal services to over 130,000 customers.
The activities above are carried out within the three Divisions that comprise the PSD, those being
Engineering, Operations and Maintenance, and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Our Team of
over 270 plus workers strives to serve the public and deliver all services above with a dwindling
budget, aging equipment and increasing service area. We do this knowing that we have made it
though another successful year of service during 2006 and look forward to the next challenging
year.
Below you will find detailed Annual Reports from each PSD Division highlighting our successes,
lessons and accomplishments of 2006.
A. ENGINEERING DIVISION
General Overview
The Engineering Division is responsible for implementing major maintenance activities
of the public infrastructure of the City of Lansing. These activities include
implementation,planning, designing, and (re)-constructing of, streets, bridges, combined,
storm sewers, sanitary sewers and sidewalks. Other major programs that the Engineering
division is charged with are the combined sewer overflow Elimination (CSO) Program
and the sanitary sewer overflow(SSO) elimination program, and environmental
remediation. These services are also provided for the sanitary sewers and appurtenances
outside City limits within the sanitary sewer district.
This division is also responsible for permitting all construction activities within City
rights-of-way. It enforces the City ordinances pertaining to the right-of-way areas, sewer
activity, soil erosion and sedimentation control and telecommunications. Site plans and
land use permit requests are reviewed by this division for conformance to engineering
standards and ordinances. The Division also provides engineering services for other
departments in the City as well as oversight and policing of publicly owned
environmentally impacted sites around the City.
The following describes specific responsibilities and accomplishments during the last
year in the major program areas of the division:
1. Streets
The Engineering Division facilitates the maintenance and reconstruction of our City
street infrastructure by designing, overseeing, inspecting, and tracking all street
construction activity. The City street system consists of approximately 105-miles of
major streets and approximately 305-miles of local streets. The department administers
an annual CIP program for the street system of several million dollars.
Page 1 of 17
Funding levels for our street program have been on a steady decline over the last few
years. In addition,the Combined Sewer Overflow(CSO)program has required a steadily
increasing share of available street funding. The result is that the overall condition of the
street system has been on a steady decline. The hallmark of a properly managed street
system is to have adequate funding and to be able to apply the right fix on the right street
at the right time.
We will have a five year street program report completed in January of 2007. This report
will be based on ROADSOFT software and will provide a complete condition
assessment of our streets. It will also detail what work needs to be done on which streets
and during what time frame. Associated funding level requirements for these efforts will
also be provided. While insufficient funding levels may continue,this program will help
us better understand the consequences of continued underfunding as well as enabling us
to apply funds that area available in a manner which is most beneficial for the overall
condition of the street system.
In 2006, the Department reconstructed/resurfaced 7.3 miles of major streets 8.2 miles of
local streets.
2. Bridges and Skywalks
The Engineering Division is charged with the maintenance of the City's seventeen
roadway and thirteen pedestrian bridges. This includes a biennial inspection of all
bridges and an annual inspection of all critical bridges.
The department reconstructed the Grand River Bridge in Old Town in 2006. This project
provided numerous challenges that were overcome by creating partnerships and the key
involvement of local businesses and residents in the design process. This project
received the 2006 APWA Southwest Michigan Chapter project of the year award.
The Beech St. bridge near our Operations and Maintenance facility was awarded federal
funding in 2006 and will be replaced in the summer of 2007. The Department recently
received notification that the Aurelius Road Bridge over the Red Cedar River was
awarded federal funds for rehabilitation/construction in 2008.
3. Sidewalks
There are more than 550 miles of sidewalks in City rights-of-way that the Department
is responsible for maintaining. The demands for sidewalk repairs consistently outweigh
the available funding. The Department currently manages two programs. One program is
our annual Sidewalk Repair Program and the other is our Major Street Gap Closure
Program. Recently City Council revised the ordinance for special assessments for new
sidewalk from 100% assessable to 50% assessable. This will halve the assessments to
property owners and double the amount paid for by the City. The net result is that our
Page 2 of 17
Gap Closure Program will take twice as long to complete with the same level of funding.
A significant amount of the annual repair budget has recently been required to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. These include barrier free ramps
with tactile surfaces at all intersections within a project area.
The department replaced 52,000 square feet of sidewalk to provide safer routes for
pedestrians and constructed 50,000 square feet of new sidewalk to fill in gaps of the
sidewalk network. This work was performed in conjunction with road projects, CSO
projects, and primarily sidewalk rehabilitation projects. A portion of the cost to replace
sidewalk and construct new sidewalk was assessed to property owners with the balance
paid by the City's General Fund.
4. Sanitary Sewer Collection System
The Department is nearing completion of the first ever comprehensive sanitary sewer
master plan. Recently completed tasks include the development of a hydraulic model
that will assist the City in analyzing sewer system capacity and the ability to serve future
developments, GIS index mapping and database population and Sanitary Sewer
Overflow(SSO) alternatives analysis.
The SSO alternatives analysis is the first step in preparing our SSO control plan. The
SSO control plan is required by the Administrative Consent Order (ACO) issued by the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)to the City in 2004. It is
anticipated that the SSO program will last many years at cost of more than $300 million.
The major emphasis during the next year will be to develop and implement a stakeholder
input process that will assist us in finalizing our SSO control plan.
The Department also investigated the performance of existing sewer systems to ensure
that the system continues to operate efficiently. One project that continued this last year
was the Westside Interceptor(WSI) Rehabilitation. The WSI is the primary trunk sewer
that transports sewage from the City's western side to the wastewater treatment plant.
Previous sections of the interceptor were lined with a cured in place liner.
Several existing manholes as well as a large junction chamber are rapidly deteriorating
due to hydrogen sulfide gas deteriorating the concrete. Construction will be completed in
early 2007 on a project that replace these structures with precast structures constructed of
an inert polymer based concrete. This project is one of the first in the nation to use this
material.
We also continued to work with the developers of the College Fields development
toward completing the Bennett Road Pump Station that will serve the development as
well as the on-site collection sewers that will transport development sewage flows to the
pump station.
Pave 3 of 17
5. Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Elimination Program
The 2006 construction season marked the midway point of the 30 year combined sewer
separation program. To date we have separated 3,358 acres (50%) of the original 7,167
acres of the City that were originally served by combined sewers. In the process of this
separation we have eliminated 16 of the original 40 combined sewer overflow regulators.
In addition,we have reduced the average amount of raw sewage that overflows annually
to the river from combined sewers by 550 million gallons.
We have implemented many enhancements to the CSO program since its inception. These
include many improvements to the construction processes, public relations efforts,
stakeholder input processes, web based management application, and completion and
implementation of the Mayor's 2020 Report. In addition, the City is in the process of
selecting a consultant to provide an independent review of our CSO program in an effort
to identify additional opportunities for improvement and to seek corroboration of existing
facets of the program that are satisfactory.
The Department also continues to focus on the elimination of inflow and infiltration (I/I),
via sewer system repairs as part of the CSO program. The CSO
program addresses 1/I problems by aggressively communicating with residents and
landowners to try and ascertain how each home or business is connected to our sewer
system. By having such a good program we have eliminated almost 99% of our private
property inflow sources to date in the CSO construction areas.
6. Storm Sewers
The City continued to participate with the Greater Lansing Regional Committee (GLRC) on
Storm Water. This group is comprised of 22 different agencies representing three separate
watersheds. The City continued to participate in this effort by leading and/or participating in
several subcommittees. The ultimate outcome of these efforts is storm water permit coverage
for the City as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The final document
prior to permit coverage is called a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Initiative (SWPPI). After
years of effort,the City submitted its SWPPI to the MDEQ for approval in October of 2006.
While this is a major milestone,the SWPPI will be a living document that will prescribe the
ongoing efforts necessary for the City to continue to maintain permit coverage.
7. Environmental Cleanup and Groundwater Remediation
Work was continued on a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) with MDEQ to address groundwater and
environmental issues associated with the Aurelius Road Landfill and Paulson Road. A contract
was issued to a Lansing based consultant with a goal to negotiate with the MDEQ so as to gain
final closure of five environmentally impacted sites.
Page 4 of 17
8. Miscellaneous
The Engineering staff was also responsible for the following activities and
accomplishments:
• Managing, operating, and expanding the GIS system utilizing the existing sewer
index maps,the Assessor's database and new parcel index map.
• Enforcing the City's Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control program. The
Department made major revisions to Chapter 1218, "Soil Erosion and Sedimentation
Control" (SESC). These changes were necessitated because of recent changes in the
State Law regarding SESC enforcement activities and the City's ability to enforce the
State SESC rules and regulations. The new law allows the City to take corrective
action in resolving SESC violations and to be compensated by the landowner for those
actions. In addition, civil fines were created for violations of the ordinance.
Additionally, changes were made to deny right-of-way permits and to request Building
Safety to deny the issuance of building permits and inspections to non-responsive
permit holders.
• Enforcing the City's Snow Removal Ordinance
• Permitting of all right-of-way activities including 89 driveway cuts, sidewalk work,
utility installation and telecommunication/fiberoptic wire installations.
• Inspecting 4 new sanitary sewer installations by developers, via the City's Letter of
Intent process.
• Reviewing 48 site plans, 32 SLU's, Zonings,ACT's, etc
• Providing sewer main information, aerial photography, and street information to
developers, architects, and/or engineers
• Responding to citizen complaints and questions regarding city ordinances.
B. OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE DIVISION
The Operations & Maintenance Division"makes it happen" 365 days a year, 24 hours a
day, providing the City of Lansing with essential municipal and infrastructure services.
The mission of the Division is to provide quality, cost effective, customer focused,
municipal, environmental, and infrastructure services to the City of Lansing with the
purpose of making Lansing a great place to live and to protect the public health, welfare
and safety. We provide a bundle of necessary infrastructure and emergency services to the
residents of Lansing at incredible value to the City. Over 75% of our operating funds are
from state revenue and enterprise services that we provide the community, with only 10%
of our budget from General Fund, and 15% from assessments. From paving local roads,
Page 5 of 17
to clearing the roads in the winter and responding to floods,we are always ready to respond, and
are dedicated to serving the citizens of Lansing. We strive to provide quality service to the
citizens of Lansing,treating them with respect and taking care of their concerns. Our diverse
team of 131 members is comprised of five sections: 1. Street and Sidewalk Maintenance, 2.
Surface and Right of Way Maintenance, 3. Sewer Maintenance and Inspection, 4. Waste
Reduction Services, and 5. Administrative Services.
2006 was a year of success and change,with a dynamic new administration leading the
City, several retirements, and the hiring of new personnel. In addition, the Service
Garage was consolidated under the Central Garage, increasing the ability of the city
government to better serve the public. Moreover, Jim Campfield,who faithfully served
the City of Lansing for over 16 years as the Superintendent of Operations and
Maintenance retired. Jim's service was exceptional, and his legacy will endure. Yet with
the changing of the guard,we gained several exceptional personnel to add to the team's
roster. First, Victor Rose, a veteran public works professional, with over 30 years of
quality experience and knowledge of construction, county and state government service,
to include serving as the Director of Public works for the City of Allegan, was hired as
the Assistant Superintendent of Operations and Maintenance. After six weeks of service
Victor assumed the role of Interim Superintendent for 6 months. Thereafter, in June of
2006, Scott House was hired as the Superintendent of Operations and Maintenance,
bringing a wide breath of engineering, construction and operations experience from
federal, military and state government service. Together,the new leadership team is
striving to: create an environment where our team members are treated with dignity and
respect, challenge the organization, expand our services, and deliver quality cost effective
services,with the purpose of making the City of Lansing a better place to live,play and
work. In 2006,the Operations and Maintenance Division proudly served the citizens of
Lansing by sustaining and improving the infrastructure and environment of the City, and
we look forward to serving the public during the coming year.
1. Street and Sidewalk Maintenance Section
The mission of,the Street and Sidewalk Maintenance Section is to maintain the streets
and sidewalks of the City of Lansing in good working order,to ensure the safe use of the
infrastructure by motorists and pedestrians alike,protecting the public health, welfare and
safety. In 2006,we accomplished our mission and more. We are specifically proud of our
paving efforts, increased coordination with regional partners and the utility restoration work we
accomplished.
During 2006 we paved and overlaid approximately 2.5 miles of major streets and 6.1 miles of
locals, drastically improving driving conditions. This is impressive, given the fact that we
started paving late,because of maintenance issues with our paver. Working closely with the
Engineering Division, and the Transportation and Parking office,we established priorities and
looked forward to the future,to plan around future CSO work,to avoid having our efforts dug-
up. Further, we made widespread use of a rotomilling machine through contracting with L&L
paving. The rotomiller grinds away pavement, improving our ability to rehabilitate roads when
overlaying them. We used the rotomiller while paving the then notorious stretch of Howard and
Pav-e 6 of 17
Homer from south of Saginaw to Grand River, known for its ruts and bumps. For this job
we worked with MDOT, who provided traffic control and L&L for the rotomilling. Our
crew hauled the millings away, cleaned and prepared the street, and paved this area on a
Saturday. The end product was a smooth driving surface, which was well appreciated at
this critical gateway to Lansing. We also rotomilled and paved Wise Road from Jolly to
Miller, Cavanaugh from Cedar to Stabler, Northrup from MLK to Washington along
with Stoneleigh and Provential House Drive from Forest to Aurelius Road, using the
L&L contracted mill. Moreover, for the first time, we recovered value from the millings
by selling them for $7 a ton to offset costs and also exchanging them for hauling support,
reducing our haul costs in support of paving operations. Further, we overlaid numerous
other local streets, many of which were in dire need of attention, focusing on the streets
identified as the worst in Lansing, to include sections of Stafford and Stabler from
Holmes to Jolly Road. We are proud of the improvements we made to these
neighborhoods, and look forward to accomplishing more in 2007.
In addition to 7000 tons of asphalt overlayment and paving, we also accomplished
numerous skin patching improvements, responding to citizen complaints, where we
overlay rough pavement with a thin layer of asphalt, 500 tons were placed this year.
These efforts have been widely praised and well received. Further, to prevent tripping
hazards we wedged multiple areas of sidewalks with asphalt in response to inspector
observations and citizen complaints. When wedging is not appropriate, we have gone the
extra distance and have reconstructed several sections of brick sidewalks, to preserve the
look and feel of those areas. We also have a crew available to respond to any pothole
complaints within a 24 hour period, with a typical response time of less than 2 hours.
Despite the fact that our afternoon crew has been limited this year due to the many
vacancies,they performed admirably, rapidly executing utility cuts and performing crack
sealing,to extend the service life of our streets.
Utility restoration work increased this year, with our crews working closely with the
Board of Water and Light, Consumers Energy and various contractors, to ensure that
utility work was properly restored in the roadway. We are unique in that we can rapidly
restore asphalt and concrete streets, making us a cost effective alternative for utility
companies to utilize our services, ensuring that the City's streets are properly restored.
In 2006 alone, we restored over 78,000 square feet of new utility cuts, with full depth
asphalt and or concrete pavement. We also completed 5,000 square feet of cuts made
during the winter, where we removed the temporary material and finalized it with asphalt
to make a permanent patch. In addition, we filled close to 6,000 square feet of contractor
utility cuts. Utility restoration work was performed by both our first and second shifts.
Our overall revenue from utility cuts was in excess of$600,000.
The concrete crew has also been very busy this year trying to keep up with the Board of
Water and Light and their contractor Miller Pipe, and their lead line replacement work.
Currently this year we have poured over 15,000 sq. ft. of concrete sidewalks. We are also
talking to Consumer Energy to try to generate revenue and to also get our sidewalks
restored to a safe and usable condition in a timely manner. Our concrete crew has also
poured several concrete joints on MLK for MDOT. We have also poured sidewalk and
Paae 7 of 17
curb in support of several sewer repairs.
Throughout the busy construction season I am glad to say we have had no major injuries or
accidents and hope to keep up this good standing of Quality, Quantity and Safety, and look
forward to serving the City of Lansing in 2007.
2. Sewer Maintenance and Inspection Section
The mission of the sewer maintenance and inspection section is to maintain the proper
operation and ensure the good working order of the City of Lansing's sanitary and storm
sewer collection system and flood control devices, through inspecting,maintaining and
performing corrective maintenance,with the purpose of protecting and improving the
environment and preserving the public health,welfare and safety. We are proud of the
professional service our team provided this year, responding around the clock to the needs
of the citizens of Lansing. When we are called, it is often a stressful time involving a flooded
basement or similar unpleasant event for the residents involved, we do our best to address their
concerns, and to resolve the situation.
In 2006 we saw a 40% decrease in emergency sanitary and storm sewer repair. This decline is
directly attributed to the positive effects of CSO program. As more sewers are replaced or
reconditioned, our staff will be able to focus on preventive maintenance issues and eliminating
illegal discharges into the storm system and or local waterways. The combination of an
improved collection system and increased preventative maintenance will decrease the conditions
that lead to sewage backing up in basements, storm water flooding streets, and will allow us to
better protect our watersheds. Equipment issues caused a small decrease in production in the
sanitary cleaning activity. In 2006 our crews cleaned 182 miles of sanitary main. This is about a
12% decrease from last year. Our production goal of cleaning sanitary lines every other year is
slightly behind. However, a new jet-vacuum truck has been ordered and should bring our
production back up in the coming year. We also saw a 17% increase in the catch basin cleaning
activity. This is a positive step towards fulfilling the NPDES phase lI storm water permit
requirements. The cleaning of catch basins helps ensure that pollutants are captured before
entering our waterways and that roadways properly drain,provides improved driving conditions,
and extends the life of the streets. Our goal is to clean all catch basins once every three years,
some areas require more frequent cleaning due to location,traffic patterns and volumes.
Several job positions have been filled, most notably the special equipment operators. These two
positions are responsible for running the sewer televising equipment. This equipment is a great
benefit for the City of Lansing. Utilizing this technology enables us to pinpoint problem areas
within the system and take corrective action.
As always, our crews went out of their way to help residents in 2006. From helping animal
control save kittens and ducklings from a sewer,to retrieving keys from a catch basin for a
distraught motorist,my staff was always ready to serve. In fact, our two inspectors were
recognized by the Mayor and City Council for their superior service as hometown heroes. Our
inspectors routinely respond around the clock to back-up calls,flooded roads and inspected 16
Page 8of17
new leads tapping into our collection system. Thankfully in 2006 we did not see any
flooding from our local rivers; however,we continued to review procedures and increased
coordination to improve our ability to respond to future events. We did see several severe
rain events that our crews rapidly responded to. In addition, working
with Emergency Management,we are trying to identify preventative measures to reduce
the impact of floods, expending effort up front, rather than in response.
Personnel fiom the Sewer Section, in conjunction with a consultant, continued installing
inflow shields and completed manhole inventories. Over 1,900 manholes were visited in
the "Hilliard-Holmes sanitary interceptor tributary area". As a result, it is estimated that
storm water inflow through the covers has been reduced by 75%. Removing inflow
benefits the system by adding capacity which will allow for new sanitary flows being
added. Detailed information about this project can be found in the "Sanitary Sewer
System Manhole Cover Inflow Offset and Manhole Inventory Project Report".
By eliminating improper tie-ins, infiltration sources and illegal discharges through
investigating with our sewer camera, along with outfall observations we have been able to
complete repairs to both storm and sanitary sewers with our dig down crew. Our diverse
ability, from inspecting to constructing offers a wide array of capabilities to the City with
us directly improving our environment and water quality in the Lansing area.
We expect to accomplish more in the coming year, despite the many technical challenges
and vacancies,but we are confident to report that we served the City of Lansing well in
2006. Our efforts resulted in not only maintaining, but improving the environment
through improvements made to the sanitary and storm collection system.
3. Surface and Right of Way Maintenance Section
The diverse mission of the Surface and Right of Way Maintenance section is to maintain
and improve the City of Lansing's public right of way under City jurisdiction, alleyways,
guard rails, and provide internal services. We are also the primary section responsible for
snow removal, with the purpose of providing a quality environment and to protecting the
public heath, welfare and safety. In 2006 the Surface Section met its goals, by making
Lansing a better place everyday. However, 2006 was not without its share of challenges,
with staffing shortages in the area of 12-17% and limited funding, but with our team
members giving a little extra,the section goals were met.
The night crew met its goals of sweeping the Trunklines and Major Streets eight times
and the Local Streets four times, and they are well on their way to accomplishing our
goals for picking up leaves from the City's streets. This year the surface section has swept
6,763 miles and picked up roughly 5,600 cubic yards of leaves. One of our challenges
with accomplishing this was that the Night Supervisor retired in April and has not been
replaced. Although we lost a great deal of experience, this allowed us to have two
different Supervisors share the responsibility of running the Night Crew since April. Now
we have two trained Supervisors, and when the new Supervisor is hired and trained, we
will have three Supervisors with the knowledge and experience to run the Night Crew.
Page 9 of 17
This was accomplished with little or no interruption to the day to day operations.
Maintaining gravel streets was somewhat of a challenge this year, due to vacancies in the
Heavy Equipment Operators positions. Yet these vacancies provided us the opportunity to
give other employees training and experience in the grading of gravel roads. We also used
a new product to temporarily fill the ruts and holes of the gravel streets when we could
not respond by grading, This gravel-limestone can be used in water filled holes unlike
regular gravel and will not effect future grading. We graded 20.77 miles of road.
The mowing and brushing season went very well, despite the challenges we faced. We
normally receive four seasonal employees to help with the mowing activity,this year one
of our seasonal employees was asked to work in a different section. We were able to have
one of our full time staff step in and take their place. The mowing teams stayed well
ahead of the growth of the vegetation and had all their areas looking good. The crews mowed
about 1,135 acres this spring and summer. The alleys were mostly maintained on a complaint
basis; about 12,105 feet of alleys were trimmed and weeded. Funding for alley maintenance
was limited, deterring us from accomplishing the level of effort required. We also maintained
and repaired several sections of damaged guard rail, improving driver safety and the appearance
of the City. In addition, we successfully coordinated the maintenance and repair of the City
owned infrastructure at the Aurelius landfill site without incident.
Miscellaneous Trash Pick-up continued twice a week,which involves two people and a small
packer,picking up trash from 17 different locations throughout the City, such as City Hall,
Parking Ramps and trash receptacles at various locations. We collected roughly 832 cubic yards
of waste a year performing this task. We also provide barricades for 85 special events during the
year, such as parades, block parties and running events. Moreover, whenever there is a need for
emergency barrier support to close roads after an accident or fire, we rapidly provide emergency
support. Also, we responded to 600 miscellaneous complaints during the year,most of them
dealing with hazards in the street. We also maintained the Operations and Maintenance complex
with regards to cleaning,maintaining and repair of the buildings, ensuring that we maintained an
image that residents of Lansing can be proud of.
Our security personnel, ensured that the Operations and Maintenance complex was staffed and
ready to respond, 365 days a year, during evenings and weekends. Being one of the few City
phones, other than 911, staffed 24 hours a day,they ensured that the concerns of our citizens
were addressed. Further, security personnel routinely serve as the conduit between the Lansing
Police Department and Lansing Fire Department for emergency support.
One of most important roles of the Surface section is participate in the salting and plowing of
the City's streets during the winter months. The winter months of 2006 saw limited plowing,
however,we were always ready to respond. Regardless of the challenges we faced in 2006, we
prioritized our efforts and provided quality support to the City of Lansing, and as our
vacancies are filled,we will better prepared and able to serve the City.
4. Waste Reduction Services Section
Page 10 of 17
The mission of Waste Reduction Services Section is to promote waste reduction and add
value to the community through promoting recycling and waste reduction efforts, while
providing quality residential collection services for refuse, compost and recyclables with
the purpose of keeping Lansing"clean and green" and improving the environment while
protecting the public health, welfare and safety. The services offered by the Operation
and Maintenances Division's Waste Reductions Services (WRS)have evolved from
services offered by the Public Service Department 100 years ago. Back then, the City of
Lansing provided for the protection of the human and environmental health of its
residents by collecting garbage from residences and managing the recovery of useful
materials by employing an official City Scavenger. The City operated two pig farms
where the collected garbage was fed to pigs and any other refuse was put into a dump.
The integrated solid waste management system operated by the COL today is more
advanced than the services offered 100 years ago,but the aim is still the same—to protect
the human and environmental health of the hundreds of thousands of people who work,
play and live in Lansing. To that end, the City provides for the weekly collection of
refuse, bulk items, yardwaste (seasonally) and recyclables as well as a program dedicated
to providing information and promoting the collection programs to Lansing's residents.
Our refuse collection system is the longest continually operating pay-as-you-throw
(PAYT) program in the United States. PAYT systems are universally recognized as best
providing incentives to recycle and reduce waste. Lansing's system is unique in that it
competes with private haulers for subscription customers. Lansing has operated a bag
system for collecting trash since 1973. The bags are sold by a network of retailers across
the city. In 1996, due to customer demand, a pilot program was initiated to provide 4
sizes of carts to residents in selected areas. The program was successful and offered city-
wide in 1999.
In 2006, the number of Blue Billy Trash Cart customers grew to 4733 and generated sales
of$374,805.19 while a total of 295,125 Blue Trash Bags were sold which generated
$545,981.25 in revenue to pay for the program. A total of 640 Bulk Stickers were sold
resulting in$20,160 in revenue while 1437 stickers worth $45,265.50 were distributed to
low-income households for free with the help of a federal grant. Moreover, we helped
improve our local neighborhoods by supporting four large neighborhood clean-ups
throughout the year along with over 50 block parties, parades and special events.
The curbside recycling program collected 2,692 tons in FY 2006 and an additional 102
tons for material were collected at the drop-off center on South Street. The revenue
generated from the sale of these materials totaled $128,181.93. Four special regional
collections for books and electronics collected an additional 74 tons of material. A total
of 2868 tons (or 8604 cubic yards) of materials were diverted from landfills. Further, we
are responsible for enforcing City ordinances governing refuse violations. Our
enforcement workers responded to numerous complaints, keeping Lansing's
neighborhoods clean and safe.
The yardwaste collection program collected 23,408 cubic yards of leaves, grass and brush
Page 11 of 17
from the last week of March through the first week of December. The program also
collected 67 cubic yards of holiday trees in January.
The City of Lansing's integrated solid waste management program is much more than a
full-service collection program. A multi-faceted education program encourages residents
and school children across the city to recycle, compost, and reduce waste. Citizens have
access to a wide range if information through WRS through their website, hotline and
office. Over 33,000 inquiries were handled by their staff in FY 2006. WRS staff
interacted with thousands of citizens at home shows, Common Ground Music Festival,
Silver Bells and a variety of other venues.
Our Assistant Recycling Coordinator routinely visits schools and provides programs
promoting recycling and waste reduction. Presentations were given to 41 classrooms in
FY 2006. Two Traveling Green Trunks with a wide array of multi-media educational
materials about waste reduction and recycling have been updated and are available for
free to teachers throughout the school district. Twelve presentations were made to citizen
groups and neighborhood organizations. A Master Composter Program was taught to 30
participants at the Fenner Nature Center. Other backyard composting presentations were
provided at Hunter Park, the Allen Street Center and Lansing Community College.
Urban Options provided 110 presentations on vermicomposting in Lansing Schools under
a contract with WRS.
There are currently 27 schools recycling curbside in the city and 4 elementary schools
have mid-scale worm composting bins which recycle food waste into a wonderful soil
conditioner for their gardens and flowerbeds. These hands-on programs have trained
countless students how to recycle and compost.
The Waste Reductions Service team continues to build on over a century of commitment
to keep Lansing clean and green.
5. Administrative Services Section
The diverse mission of the administrative services section is to provide quality customer service
to the citizens of Lansing and professional internal services to the Operations an Maintenance
Division, including dispatch, clerical support, complaint database management, human resource
support, financial reporting, inventory control, and Act 51 fund monitoring, with the purpose of
addressing the concerns of citizens and complying with State and City accounting requirements
in support of protecting the public health, welfare and safety.
We are proud of our team's accomplishment this past year, focusing on process improvement,
cost savings and customer service. Specifically, we have streamlined payroll from 85 individual
accounts, which had to be entered into the payroll system, to 1 account, which is
reclassed to the other accounts at the end of each month. Hourly payroll was consistently being
turned in Thursday morning and missing the deadline. Now it is being turned in consistently
before the Tuesday 5:00 p.m. deadline. Moreover, through greater attention to detail and
training we eliminated an average of$2,000 in accounting errors per pay period and the need to
Page 12 of 17
reclass those errors.
Further,by balancing payrolls with Cogitate (state maintenance program software),we
eliminated errors in Trunkline Reporting and Equipment Rental reporting to the tune of
$25,000 per year. This was possible by eliminating un-billed charges to the MDOT for
trunkline maintenance. In addition, through an improved inventory monitoring and
accounting system, we reduced the end of year inventory adjustments from $50,000 in
FY03 to $10,000 in FY06.
Our revenue tracking has improved as well, ensuring EAR (earned accounts receivable
reporting)reconcile with Unbilled Charges account, ensuring accuracy in EAR billing.
This also ensures that what is charged into that account is billed out at the same rate.
Moreover, we reduced uniform shortages from an average of$3,000 per year to an
average of$1,000 by performing counts with Maurer's personnel once a week. These
shortages were experienced due to poor tracking by the vendor and the employee, we
know conduct weekly counts and verify counts with employees, as well as initiating
payroll deduction for lost or stolen uniforms. In addition, we converted many of our
paper files to electronic files,to reduce operating costs and the need for storage space.
Working with Human Resources we streamlined the vacancy filling process to reduce
the time to fill from an average of 11 months to 5 months.
Our staff did not receive any complaints from customers, rather they were praised.
Whenever a citizen calls, we treat them as a valued customer, showing them the dignity
and respect they deserve while addressing their concerns. Further, it is our team that
passes the critical information to the crews in the field, ensuring that the emergencies and
routine problems across the City are resolved.
Overall, I am proud to report that the Administrative Section has had a successful year
serving the City of Lansing through our customer support, services we provide and the
cost savings we have implemented.
C. WASTEWATER DIVISION
In 2006, the Wastewater Division was reduced from 62 full time employees to 52 full
time employees. The staff of 52 is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the
combined sewer overflow facilities (regulators), storm and sanitary sewer pumping
stations, and the wastewater treatment plant operation &maintenance. Other division
activities include the Industrial Pretreatment Program, and administration of the City's
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)Permit.
1. Wastewater Treatment
In 2006, work continued utilization of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system for the ability to remotely operate many of the WWTP and pump
Page 13 of 17
station facilities equipment. The Division continues to automate processes where
practical and possible to do so. This automation has been steadily improving the efficiency of
operation and reducing operating costs. Some of the automation work performed this year
includes the following:
a) Automating primary sludge pumping—increasing solids content of sludge, improving
primary clarifier performance, while reducing dewatering costs.
b) Automating aeration blower inlet and discharge valves operation—maintaining more
consistent dissolved oxygen levels thereby improving operation, while significantly
reducing electrical costs.
c) Automating the Ferric Chloride feed system—flow proportioning the chemical feed
operation to remove phosphorous, providing more consistent phosphorous removal,
while reducing chemical costs.
d) Automating the operation of main drive entry gate -providing improved security at
the wastewater facility.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant successfully treated 6 billion gallons of raw sewage and
processed it into clean water, which was discharged into the Grand River, in compliance with all
State and Federal standards. Continued efficient operation at the treatment plant maximized the
volume of water processed by the plant in 2006 and eliminated discharges of partially treated
water during wet weather conditions. In 2006, we had two discharge events from the storage
basins (partially treated sewage). This discharge met the effluent limitations and compliance
requirements as authorized in the NPDES Permit.
The treatment process generated 9.78 million pounds of residual solids. A total of 648,000
pounds were dewatered and land filled. Another 9.13 million pounds were lime-stabilized and
land applied. A total of 4,567 dry tons of lime stabilized biosolids were applied for recycling as
a soil conditioner and nutrient source (fertilizer) for agricultural crops.
The Treatment Plant was in compliance with the City's NPDES Permit throughout 2006. We
completed the year with zero final effluent discharge violations.
2. Wastewater Laboratory
The function purpose of the Wastewater Treatment Plant laboratory is to determine the
effectiveness and efficiency of the treatment processes and the quality of the effluent discharged
to the Grand River. The laboratory conducted about 46,000 analyses on 41 different pollutant
parameters on more than 7,000 samples collected from 32 different sampling points to
determine effluent quality and to monitor the process.
Page 14 of 17
3. Compliance Monitoring
The MDEQ conducted an annual Compliance Evaluation and Sampling Inspections of the
WWTP and specifically the laboratory operation. The Compliance report indicated, the
laboratory was very well organized and in good condition". The facility was determined
to be "in compliance" in all areas evaluated at the WWTP. MDEQ also conducted a
comprehensive Compliance Audit of the Industrial Pretreatment Program. The industrial
pretreatment program had no violations and no major issues.
In October 2007 the City's 5-year NPDES Permit expires. We are gathering all of the
necessary data in order to submit a new permit application to the MDEQ by the end of
March 2007.
In October 2006, we submitted the annual biosolids report to MDEQ under the
requirements of the EPA Part 503 Rules. Data is also submitted in the Monthly
Operating Report to the MDEQ to meet the requirements of the Residuals Management
Program contained in the NPDES Permit.
4. Pumping Stations and Plant Maintenance
The Wastewater Division Field Operations staff monitors, maintains and operates 26
sanitary sewer pumping stations, one air injection station, and five stormwater pumping
stations which serve both the City and surrounding Townships. The newest station, the
Bennett Road pumping station, was recently validated and accepted into service.
The Field Operations staff responded to very few emergency after hours alarms. There
has been a continued reduction in the frequency of these alarms. The lower call-out rate
is the direct result of installation and implementation of the SCADA system for
monitoring and controlling pumping stations. Continued efforts to rebuild and renovated
pump stations have improved overall station reliability in 2006.
The Plant Maintenance Department completed 2,606 work orders addressing preventive
maintenance, routine and emergency needs. This represents a 25% increase compared to
2003. Most of the facility equipment is now documented in the maintenance
management computer program.
The Maintenance Department(both Field Operations and Plant Maintenance) completed
numerous maintenance related projects (rebuilt, replaced, demolished, or installed).
Rebuilt the Following Major Equipment:
1. Both pumps at Harton Street pumping station,
2. One final settling tank drive mechanism,
3. Two pumps at Scott Park pumping station,
4. 1 pump at Raw Sewage pump station
Page 15 of 17
Replaced the Following major Equipment:
1. Mixer, shaft, and impeller in dewatering
2. Two ferric chloride feed pumps including new controllers
3. Pump wear rings, seals, and plug valves for numerous stations,
4. Cast iron chain and sprockets at South Plant primary settling with composite
chain and sprockets,
5. Two plant air compressors (1 each in North and South plant)
6. Two pumps at Raw Sewage pumping station
7. Boiler in treatment plant
5. CSO Regulators and Monitoring
The Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Project Plan continued to move forward and is further
addressed in the City Engineer's information. Projects required by the Final Combined Sewer
Overflow Control Program of 1992 are being completed in compliance with the construction
schedule as prescribed in the NPDES Permit.
For 2006,the Wastewater Division maintained 25 CSO regulators.
CSO Overflow Reports continue to be submitted to the Surface Water Quality Division of the
MDEQ on a monthly basis. The local health departments and the Lansing State Journal are
called during each event to provide notification of the discharge to the public. The reporting and
testing requirements are specified in the NPDES discharge permit.
6. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
SCADA is currently active and providing remote monitoring, control, and data management of
the entire Wastewater Treatment Facility and Pumping Stations.
7. Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP)
The IPP monitored 38 non-domestic users in 2006, of which 13 are Significant Industrial
Users, and 11 are Categorical Users. A total of approximately 200 industrial samples
were collected and over 2,100 analyses were conducted to ensure the protection of the
Wastewater Treatment Plant, public health, and the environment. An additional 600
analyses were performed on the pumping stations. The IPP group performed all required
annual inspections of Categorical Industrial Users and Significant Industrial Users.
Numerous discharge permits were issued or renewed, and several new industries were
monitored.
The IPP group,with assistance from several consultants, recently revised its local limits
by conducting a maximum allowable headworks loading (MARL) study which was
completed in This study was submitted to the MDEQ for review and approval. Once
approved by the MDEQ, the MAHL valves will be placed into The City ordinances.
Page 16 of 17
The Industrial Pretreatment group also successfully operated and maintained the Diamond
Reo groundwater remediation treatment system. Site remediation of the former Diamond
REO property was modified to include the deep well aquifer. The equipment used to
process and clean the contaminated water has been upgraded and is operated with
oversight of our IPP department. We are currently working with the Engineering Division
and the MDEQ to pursue partial closure on this site.

caused a delay. The old storm sewer was removed and replaced with a new
storm sewer. By Saturday, July 7, the center lane will be paved. Eastboun'
traffic will be shifted into this lane. This will allow two of westbound lane-
and one eastbound lane on Michigan Avenue for the Common Grounds Festival.
Since the eastbound railroad-crossing gate does not cover the entire center lane,
a railroad flagger will be flagging eastbound traffic until the eastbound travel
lanes are reopen (this should be at the end of July). Construction on Michigan
Avenue east and west of the railroad tracks will recommence after Common

- work finished before final paving occurs. Look for final paving to occur on
Dumpster A/ley Michigan Avenue in October or November. Final paving on Larch Street and on
