He referenced the threefold Lemon test, which is a Supreme Court case that generally is used as a guideline in similar situations.

45 Agenda No. 6D CITY OF FERNDALE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION FROM: SUBJECT: Timothy D. Collins, Chief of Police Elimination of the Part-Time Dispatcher Program SUMMARY & BACKGROUND: The six person part-time Dispatcher program for the Police Department that was initiated last year has been a failure due to problems related to recruiting, training, scheduling and mostly, retention. Several of the new part-time employees found fulltime employment shortly after their hire and left our employment. We are currently budgeted for four full-time Dispatchers, one for each of the four Platoons, Days/Nights A and Days/Nights B. I propose a new program to include two additional full-time Dispatchers and call them Swing A and Swing B. A detailed explanation is included in the attached memo. This scheduling will assist us to comply with State mandates in which only trained dispatch personnel answer 911 calls for service. Therefore, after concurring with City Manager Lynch and HR Director Walewski, I recommend the Part-Time Dispatcher program be discontinued and Council approve the proposed schedule for two additional full-time "Swing" Dispatchers for Platoons A and B. ATTACHMENTS: Memo to City Manager Lynch COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: January 12, 2015 CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: FINANCE DIRECTOR REVIEW: CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: n/a Karen Meyer 12/22/14 April Lynch 12/18/14 COMMENTS: RECOMMENDED ACTION: Moved by, seconded by, to approve the elimination of the current six person, part-time Police Dispatcher program and replace it with the proposed program adding two fulltime Swing A and Swing B Dispatcher positions for the Police Department.

46 310 E. NINE MILE ROAD FERNDALE, MICHIGAN FAX TIMOTHY D. COLLINS Chief November 21, 2014 April, As we have discussed in the past few weeks, the Part Time Dispatcher program we initiated last year has been a failure. For the most part this was a good idea on paper, but in application, we came across several unintended consequences. These problems are related to recruiting, training, scheduling and most of all retention. Although we recognized the problems with recruiting, training and scheduling early on, and made several adjustments to overcome them, we found that retaining part time dispatchers was problematic. Several of our new part time employees found full time employment (both in the dispatch field and elsewhere) and left our employment. We have had only one of the recruits actually complete the training program, and never actually worked as a part time dispatcher due to the fact that she was offered and accepted a full time position after the resignation of a full time dispatcher a few months ago. Therefore, after conferring with the H.R. director, I feel that the Part Time Dispatcher program should be discontinued. In its place, I would propose a new program in which we employ six {6) full time dispatchers and no part time dispatchers. This new program was suggested by one of the FPOA Union Board members, Officer John Heath. In concept it would entail the following: We would retain the four full time dispatch positions we are currently budgeted for, each assigned to one of the four platoons (Days A, Days B, Nights A and Nights B). These four dispatchers would work their normal platoon shift of 7 am to 7 pm (Days) and 7 pm to 7 am {Nights). We would add two additional dispatchers who would also work 12 hour shifts from 11 am to 11 pm. We would call these two dispatchers Swing A and Swing B. Swing A would work 11 am to 11 pm only when

47 (Day and Night) Platoon A was scheduled, and Swing B would work only when (Day and Night) Platoon B was working (also 11 am to 11 pm). The effect would be that we would have a second dispatcher every day f rom 11 am to 11 pm, which is our busiest time for Calls. We could explore an adjustment of this time 10 to 10 or 12 to 12, but 11 to 11 seems to be a good place to start the conversation. It was further suggested that we pool all of the A's together and all ofthe B's together for time off and vacation selection. We would also restrict the selection of time off to one person per pool at any one time. In other words, when selecting a vacation, Days A, Nights A and Swing A would select as a group, one at a time with no overlapping of days. This would allow us to move the Swing dispatcher to Days when the day dispatcher is on vacation, and move the swing dispatcher to nights when the night dispatcher is on vacation. When the swing dispatcher is on vacation, no one will have to move at all, because only one of the three dispatchers can be on vacation at the same time. This would be the same for the B's as well. This configuration will assist us to comply with State mandates in which only trained dispatch personnel answer 911 ca lls for service. We would also move toward the concept of replacing missing desk pe rsonnel with only desk personnel in an effort to keep un-trained patrol officers off the desk unless absolutely necessary. This may cause some additional overtime for dispatchers that we currently do not have, however to achieve compliance with the State, it will be necessary in any event. The cost ofthis program is actually less expensive than the cu rrent budgeted allocations for full and part time dispatchers. Current full time dispatchers range in costs (with benefits) from a high of $68,733 to a low of $49,931, and I took the total of the four most recent full time dispatchers and averaged them: $68,733 + $57,455 + $49,981 + $49,931 = $226,100 I 4 = $56,525. I will use $56,525 for my estimations. We are currently budgeted for six part time dispatchers who work 24 hours per week for 52 weeks a year. This would equal a total of 7488 part time dispatcher hours per year. Using the hourly rate of a dispatcher (at top pay) of $19.34 and hour, the cost of 6 part time dispatchers without any benefits would be $144,818. Using the above figures, it is estimated that if our Full and Part time dispatcher plan was implemented it would cost approximately $370,910 ($56,525 x 4 = $226,092 + $144,818 = $370,910). The proposed six full time dispatcher programs would be estimated at $56,525 x 6, or $339,150.

48 This represents a potential cost savings of $31,760 to the budget. This new program would not provide two dispatchers 24/7 like the current Full and Part time solution, however I do not believe we will ever achieve our goal of 4 full timers and 6 part timers in todays market. We would of course have to get buy-in from the union, however the union suggested this Idea so that issue will be lessened I believe. Please let me know what you think, and if you approve, how you would like to proceed. Thank you Timothy D. Collins Chief Ferndale Police Department

The upgrade is necessary and as outlined, the cost would be an agency responsibility. The original cost for each participating agency was estimated at about $8,000 per device. A quote has been received in the amount of $7, per device and we are preparing to move forward as planned. The process will require a written commitment from each agency head agreeing with the replacement and to fund it at $7, per device. CLEM IS has arranged to pay the vendor for this upgrade and will bill the age ncy back the full amount following completion of the work. See the signoff statement below. When we receive the signed agency commitment, our upgrade vendor, MorphoTrust will contact you to schedule the site visit and discuss the process.

146 Community and Economic Development Staff Report to the Planning Commission December 11, E. Nine Mile REQUEST Conditional Rezoning M-1 to C-2 APPLICANT OWNER LOCATION Canine to Five 945 S. Rochester Road Suite 104 Rochester Hills, MI Liz Blondy 1221 E. Nine Mile FILE NO. PARCEL NO ZONING STAFF C-2; General Commercial Derek Delacourt, Director Summary The applicant is requesting a conditional rezoning from C-2 (General Commercial) to M-1 (Limited Industrial) to allow pet care, boarding and day care facilities at the subject site. The site is currently zoned C-2, the proposed use is not permitted in the district. The applicant is proposing a conditional rezoning to only allow the specific pet care/boarding facility use. Conditions have been offered by the applicant prohibiting all other uses allowed ion the M-1 district. The property is currently used as a tire warehouse/distribution center and is a nonconforming use within the C-2 district. The property is developed with an approximately 22,000 square foot building and associated parking. The applicant currently operates a pet care facility on Hilton Road. The business continues to expand and can no longer be supported by the existing site and building. The applicant has been working with Staff for the last year in an attempt to find an existing facility in the M-1 district capable of supporting the expanded operation. To date we have not been able to identify an available property within the M- 1 district. Although the subject site is currently zoned C-2 the location, building size, and site are consistent with traditional industrial zoned properties. The applicant is offering conditions in an attempt to mitigate the requested use and to prevent the negative impacts associated with other industrial type uses.

148 1221 E. Nine Mile, Conditional Rezoning December 11, Page 3 of 7 2. The conditional rezoning may include limitations on: the uses permitted on the property in question; density or intensity of use; and location, size, height or other measure for buildings, structures, improvements, setbacks, landscaping, buffers, design, architecture and other features. 3. The conditional rezoning shall not authorize uses or developments of greater intensity or density than those permitted in the proposed zoning district; nor may a conditional rezoning agreement permit variations from height, area, setback or similar dimensional requirements that are less restrictive than the proposed zoning district. 4. The conditional rezoning may include conditions related to the use and development of the property that are necessary to: a. Serve the property with improvements, including but not limited to, the extension, widening or realignment of streets; construction or extension of utilities or other infrastructure improvements serving the site; or the construction of recreational facilities. b. Minimize the impact of the development on surrounding properties and the city overall. c. Preserve natural features and open space beyond what is normally required. B. In addition to any limitations on use or development of the site, preservation of site features or improvements described above, the conditional rezoning agreement shall also include the following: 1. A legal description of the land to which the agreement pertains. 2. An acknowledgement that the conditional rezoning agreement was proposed voluntarily by the applicant. 3. A statement that the property shall not be developed or used in any manner that is not consistent with the conditional rezoning agreement. 4.

A statement that, if a rezoning with a conditional rezoning agreement becomes void in accordance with this section, that no further development shall take place and no permits shall be issued. 6. A statement that no part of the conditional rezoning agreement shall permit any activity, use or condition that would otherwise violate any requirement or standard that is otherwise applicable in the new zoning district. 7. Any other provisions as are agreed upon by the city and applicant. C. Process.

149 1221 E. Nine Mile, Conditional Rezoning December 11, Page 4 of 7 1. The conditional rezoning agreement shall be reviewed concurrently with the petition for rezoning following the process in section , Procedure. 2. The conditional rezoning agreement may be submitted prior to planning commission making its recommendation to the city council. The conditional rezoning agreement shall be reviewed by the city attorney, at the expense of the applicant, to determine that the conditional rezoning agreement conforms to the requirements of this section and the Zoning Act and shall confirm that the conditional rezoning agreement is in a form acceptable for recording with the Oakland County Register of Deeds. 3. Following the public hearing for a proposed zoning amendment, the planning commission shall make a recommendation to the city council based upon the criteria listed in section , Criteria for amendment of the official zoning map (rezoning). In addition, the planning commission shall consider whether the proposed conditional rezoning agreement: a. Is consistent with the intent of this chapter. b. Bears a reasonable and rational connection or benefit to the property being proposed for rezoning. c. Is necessary to ensure that the property develops in such a way that protects the surrounding neighborhood and minimizes any potential impacts to adjacent properties. d. Is necessary to allow the rezoning to be approved, in that the property could not or would not be rezoned without the proposed conditional rezoning agreement. e. Is in the public interest and is consistent with the recommendations of the master plan. 4. If a conditional rezoning agreement has been offered by the applicant and recommended for approval by the planning commission, the city council may approve the conditional rezoning agreement as a condition to the rezoning if it meets all requirements above. The conditional rezoning agreement shall be incorporated by attachment or otherwise as an inseparable part of the Ordinance adopted by the city council to accomplish the requested rezoning. 5. If the conditional rezoning is approved, the zoning classification of the rezoned property shall consist of the district to which the property has been rezoned and a reference to the conditional rezoning agreement. The zoning map shall specify the new district plus an asterisk to indicate that the property is subject to a conditional rezoning agreement (i.e., "R- 1*"). The city clerk shall maintain a listing of all properties subject to conditional rezoning agreements and shall provide copies of the agreements upon request. 6. The approved conditional rezoning agreement shall be recorded with the Oakland County Register of Deeds. 7. Any uses proposed as part of a conditional rezoning agreement that would otherwise require approval of a special land use or site plan approval shall be subject to the applicable review and approval requirements of Article XI, Site Plan Review and Article XII, Special Land Use.

150 1221 E. Nine Mile, Conditional Rezoning December 11, Page 5 of 7 D. Expiration of approval 1. The rezoning and conditional rezoning agreement shall expire, unless extended by the city council for good cause, two years after adoption if substantial construction on the approved development of the property pursuant to building and other required permits issued by the city has not commenced or is not proceeding diligently to completion. 2. In the event that substantial construction on the approved development has not commenced within the aforementioned two years, the conditional rezoning agreement shall be void and of no effect. 3. Should the conditional rezoning agreement become void, all development on the property shall cease and no further development shall be permitted. Until action satisfactory to the city is taken to bring the property into compliance with the conditional rezoning agreement, the city may withhold or, following notice to the applicant and being given an opportunity to be heard, revoke permits and certificates. This shall be in addition to or in lieu of any other lawful action to achieve compliance, including rezoning. 4. Notwithstanding the above, if the property owner applies in writing for an extension of the conditional rezoning agreement at least 30 days prior to the expiration date, the city council may grant an extension of up to one (1) year if it determines that the owner has made diligent effort towards completing the conditions of the agreement. E. Reversion of zoning. If the conditional rezoning agreement becomes void as outlined above, then the land shall automatically revert back to its original zoning classification. The community development department will advise the land owner and/or developer, by registered letter, of the reversion of zoning. The city shall take affirmative action to rezone the property. F. Continuation. Provided that all development and/or use of the property in question is in compliance with the conditional rezoning agreement, a use or development authorized there under may continue indefinitely, provided that all terms of the conditional rezoning agreement continue to be met. G. Amendment. The conditional rezoning agreement may be amended by the city council with the property owner's consent in the same manner as was prescribed for the original rezoning and conditional rezoning agreement. H. Violation of agreement. Failure to comply with the conditional rezoning agreement at any time after approval will constitute a breach of the agreement and also a violation of this Ordinance. Further use of the property may be subject to legal remedies available to the city. I. Subsequent rezoning of land. Nothing in the conditional rezoning agreement, nor any statement or other provision, shall prohibit the city from later rezoning all or any portion of the property that is the subject of the conditional rezoning agreement to another zoning classification. Any rezoning shall be conducted in compliance with this chapter and the Zoning Act. J. Failure to offer conditions. The city shall not require an owner to offer conditions as a requirement for rezoning. The lack of an offer of conditions shall not affect the owner's rights under this chapter.

151 1221 E. Nine Mile, Conditional Rezoning December 11, Page 6 of 7 K. City not obligated. The city is not required or obligated to accept any or all conditions offered by a developer on a rezoning application. In no way is an offer of a conditional rezoning agreement the basis for requiring the city to approve a rezoning application. Site Plan Review Considerations The applicant is not proposing significant changes to the site at this time. The only change is the proposed addition of the outdoor play area on the east side of the building. The site plan indicates the area will be screened with an 8 foot high wooden fence and gates. The applicant is not proposing to reduce the total number of parking spaces available on site. If approved the applicant shall submit a final site plan to Staff for review and approval addressing any issues or improvements identified by the Planning Commission. Consistency with the Master Land Use Plan The City s Master Land Use Plan (MLUP) identifies the corridor for future use as general retail, service and office type uses. The proposed use is consistent with the plan in that it is a retail/service type of business. Although the use is not allowed in a C-2 district it is similar to uses normally associated with the district. Also, the building and parcel are of a size and location that is traditionally consistent with industrial buildings and parcels in the city, making it unique for redevelopment with general retail type uses. The conditions offered by the applicant offer additional assurances that any use of the property will conform to the intent of the MLUP. No traditionally industrial type uses will be allowed under the agreement. Potential Motion Motion by, supported by, that the Planning Commission recommends City Council APPROVE the Conditional Rezoning request for 1221 E. Nine Mile Road, (Canine to Five), Sidwell numbers , with the following findings and conditions after a Public Hearing was held as set and published for this date and place: Findings 1. That the rezoning is consistent with the goals, policies and future land use map of the City of Ferndale Master Plan. 2. That the proposed rezoning, subject to the offered conditions, is compatible with the site's physical, geological, hydrological and other environmental features. 3. That with the conditional rezoning, the site remains compatible with all the potential uses allowed in the proposed zoning district with surrounding uses and zoning in terms of land suitability, impacts on the environment, density, nature of use, traffic impacts, aesthetics, infrastructure and potential influence on property values.

152 1221 E. Nine Mile, Conditional Rezoning December 11, Page 7 of 7 4. That the capacity of city infrastructure and services is sufficient to accommodate the uses permitted in the requested district without compromising the health, safety and welfare of the city. 5. There is apparent demand for the types of uses permitted by the conditional rezoning in the city in relation to the amount of land in the city currently zoned to accommodate the demand. 6.
