Approving OpinionCity of DetroitCounty of WayneState of Michigan

We have acted as bond counsel to theCity of Detroit, County of Wayne, State ofMichigan (the “City”) in connection withthe issuance by the City of bonds in theaggregate principal sum of $_________,designated Financial Recovery TaxRevenue and Refunding Bonds, Series2014 (the “Bonds”), for the purposesdescribed in the Bonds. In such capacity,we have examined such law and the tran-script of proceedings relating to theissuance of the Bonds and such otherproceedings, certifications and docu-ments as we have deemed necessary torender this opinion.The Bonds are in fully-registered form

in the denominations of $100,000 each orintegral multiples of $5,000 in excessthereof, numbered in order of registration,bearing original issue date of _________,2014, payable as to principal and interestas provided in the Bonds, subject toredemption prior to maturity in the man-ner, at the times and at the prices speci-fied in the Bonds.As to questions of fact material to our

opinion, we have relied on the certifiedproceedings and other certifications ofpublic officials and others furnished to us.Based upon the foregoing, we are of

the opinion that, under existing law:1. The Bonds have been duly autho-

rized and executed by the City, and,except as otherwise set forth in this opin-ion letter, are valid and binding obligationsof the City, enforceable in accordancewith their terms. The Bonds are issuedpursuant to Section 36a of Act 279, PublicActs of Michigan, 1909, as amended (“Act279”), orders of the Emergency Managerfor the City, dated ____________, 2014and ____________, 2014, authorizing theissuance of the Bonds (the “Authorizing

Orders”), and a Financial Recovery BondTrust Indenture (the “Trust Indenture”),dated ___________, 2014 between theCity and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (the“Trustee”). Capitalized terms used hereinwithout definitions shall have the mean-ings ascribed to them in the TrustIndenture.2. The Bonds are payable in the first

instance from the proceeds of certain advalorem taxes levied by the City on all tax-able property in the City, subject to applic-able constitutional, statutory and chartertax rate limitations. Pursant to theAuthorizing Orders and Act 279, at thetimes and to the extent provided in para-graph 3 of this opinion, the Bonds aresecured by a first priority lien on thePledged Income Tax Revenue (as definedin the Authorizing Orders and the TrustIndenture).3. Section 36a(7) of Act 279 creates a

lien on the City’s interest in all of thePledged Income Tax Revenue that theCity has pledged in connection with theBonds on the terms and subject to theconditions described in the statute.Pursuant to Act 279, the City has provid-ed in the Authorizing Orders for thedeposit of the Pledged Income TaxRevenue into a deposit account dedicatedsolely to the receipt of Pledged IncomeTax Revenue (the “Income Tax DepositAccount”) at Comerica Bank, as IncomeTax Depository Bank (the “DepositoryBank”), all pursuant to the terms and con-ditions of (a) the Trust Indenture, and (b) aDeposit Account Control Agreement (asdefined in the Authorizing Orders) by andamong the City, the Trustee and theDepository Bank. The Income Tax DepositAccount will be owned by and in the nameof the City and the City shall cause allPledged Income Tax Revenues to bedeposited directly by the applicable tax-payers, or by the City if remitted by thetaxpayers to the City, into the Income TaxDeposit Account. Pursuant to the DepositAccount Control Agreement, theDepository Bank will be instructed totransfer on a daily basis the PledgedIncome Tax Revenues into an escrowaccount designated the “Pledged IncomeTax Subaccount” of the Debt ServiceFund, which will be an account at theDepository Bank established in the nameof the Trustee under the Trust Indentureand to be used for the sole purpose ofpaying the principal of and interest on theBonds and related administrative costs.Once the Income Tax Set-AsideRequirements (as defined in the TrustIndenture) have been satisfied from timeto time in the Pledged Income TaxSubaccount such that (a) there is no defi-ciency in the Debt Service Fund balanceor the Debt Service Reserve Fund bal-ance, in each case, as required under theTrust Indenture, and (b) the City’s obliga-


tions to make any deposits to the DebtService Fund as of such date have beenfully funded in accordance with the TrustIndenture, the balance of the PledgedIncome Tax Revenue or any portion there-of, in the discretion of the City, may bereleased from the Income Tax DepositAccount and transferred to one or moreaccounts in the name of the City or other-wise, at the discretion of the City. By theterms of Act 279, a statutory lien and trustis created applicable to those PledgedIncome Tax Revenues that are receivedby the Trustee from the Depository Bankonce they are deposited into the PledgedIncome Tax Subaccount of the DebtService Fund. Act 279 provides that thePledged Income Tax Revenue paid to theTrustee for the purpose of paying principalof and interest on the Bonds shall be sub-ject to a lien and trust, which is a statuto-ry lien and trust paramount and superiorto all other liens and interests of any kind,for the sole purpose of paying the princi-pal of and interest on the Bonds and anyother bonds subsequently issued by theCity sharing a parity or subordinatepledge of that Pledged Income TaxRevenue. Act 279 further provides thatthe Pledged Income Tax Revenue held bythe Trustee shall be held in trust for thesole benefit of the holders of the Bondsand is exempt from being levied upon,taken, sequestered, or applied towardpaying the debts or liabilities of the Cityother than for payment of debt service onthe Bonds to which the lien applies.4. [For Tax Exempt Portion Only] The

interest on the Bonds (a) is excludablefrom gross income for federal income taxpurposes and (b) is not an item of taxpreference for purposes of the federalalternative minimum tax imposed on indi-viduals and corporations. It should benoted, however, that with respect to cor-porations (as defined for federal incometax purposes), the interest is taken intoaccount in determining adjusted currentearnings for the purpose of computing thealternative minimum tax imposed on suchcorporations. Further, the Bonds and theinterest thereon are exempt from all taxa-tion by the State of Michigan or by anytaxing authority within the State ofMichigan except inheritance and estatetaxes and taxes on gains realized fromthe sale, payment or other dispositionthereof. The opinions set forth in this para-graph are subject to the condition that theCity comply with all requirements of theInternal Revenue Code of 1986, asamended, that must be satisfied subse-quent to the issuance of the Bonds inorder that interest thereon be (or continueto be) excludable from gross income forfederal and Michigan income tax purpos-es. The City has covenanted to complywith all such requirements. Failure tocomply with certain of such requirements

could cause the interest on the Bonds tobe included in gross income retroactivelyto the date of issuance of the Bonds.Except as stated in paragraph 4 above,

we express no opinion regarding otherfederal or state tax consequences arisingwith respect to the Bonds and the interestthereon.We express no opinion under para-

graphs 2 or 3 of this opinion, or otherwise,on (a) the effect of Act 279 on PledgedIncome Tax Revenue prior to the actualdeposit of Pledged Income Tax Revenueinto the Pledged Income Tax Subaccountof the Debt Service Fund in the name ofthe Trustee pursuant to the TrustIndenture (that time, the “Actual Deposit”),(b) except to the extent expressly provid-ed in paragraph 3 of this opinion concern-ing the lien that arises under Section36a(7) of Act 279 at the time of ActualDeposit, the validity, enforceability, perfec-tion or priority of any security interest orother lien on Pledged Income TaxRevenue or any other collateral securityfor the Bonds; or (c) the effect of title 11 ofthe United States Code on the validity,enforceability, perfection or priority of anypledge of or lien on Pledged Income TaxRevenue. The rights and remedies of theTrustee and bondholders may be affectedby bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent con-veyance or other laws affecting creditors’rights generally, now existing or hereafterenacted, and by the application of gener-al principles of equity, including thoserelating to equitable subordination.This opinion is given as of the date

hereof, and we assume no obligation torevise or supplement this opinion toreflect any facts or circumstances thatmay hereafter come to our attention, orany changes in law that may hereafteroccur.

August __, 2014Joseph FielekExecutive DirectorMichigan Finance Authority430 W. Allegan StreetLansing, MI 48922Re: Disclosures by Barclays as Sole

Underwriter Pursuant to MSRBRule G-17 — $275,000,000*


Michigan Finance AuthorityFinancial Recovery Bonds, Series2014 (Exit Financing BondFacility) issued on behalf of theCity of Detroit, Michigan.

Dear Mr. Fielek:Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) is

writing to provide you, as ExecutiveDirector of the Michigan Finance Authority(“Issuer”), with certain disclosures relatingto the captioned Exit Financing BondFacility (the “Exit Financing”) as requiredby the Municipal Securities RulemakingBoard (“MSRB”) Rule G-17 as set forth inMSRB Notice 2012-25 (May 7, 2012)1.In the context of this engagement

between Barclays and you, in any discus-sions, communications, conferences,negotiations and undertakings, Barclays:(a) will act as a principal and not in a fidu-ciary capacity; (b) has not assumed anadvisory or fiduciary responsibility in favorof you or the City of Detroit (“Borrower”);and (c) is acting as underwriter and not asfinancial advisor. As such, (i) the primaryrole of Barclays as an underwriter is topurchase or arrange for the placement of,securities; (ii) such purchase or place-ment will be effected in an arm’s-lengthcommercial transaction between you andBarclays; and (iii) Barclays has financialand other interests that may differ fromyours and the Borrower’s. Further,Barclays advises you and Borrower toconsult your own legal, financial and otheradvisors to the extent you or the Borrowerdeem appropriate.As part of our services as sole under-

writer, Barclays may provide advice con-cerning the structure, timing, terms andother similar matters concerning theissuance of the Exit Financing.As the issuer of the Exit Financing the

Issuer will be a party to a CommitmentLetter and Bond Purchase Agreement orsimilar agreement and certain other legaldocuments to be entered into in connec-tion with the issuance of the ExitFinancing. The material financial risksdescribed in this letter will be borne by theBorrower, as set forth in those legal docu-ments. A copy of this letter is also beingsent to the Borrower. Proposed terms ofthe Exit Financing are set forth in moredetail in the Commitment Letter datedAugust 27, 2014 from Barclays to theBorrower (the “Commitment Letter”) andthe Term Sheet attached thereto.I. Disclosures Concerning Barclays’Role:(i) MSRB Rule G-17 requires an

underwriter to deal fairly at all times withboth municipal issuers and investors.(ii) The underwriters’ primary role is to

purchase the Exit Financing in an arm’s-length commercial transaction with theIssuer with a view to distributing the ExitFinancing to investors (which may includeone or more affiliates of the underwriting)

and/or syndicating all or a portion of theExit Financing. Barclays has financial andother interests that differ from those of theIssuer and Borrower.(iii) Unlike a municipal advisor,

Barclays does not have a fiduciary duty tothe Issuer or the Borrower under the fed-eral securities laws and is, therefore, notrequired by federal law to act in the bestinterest of the Issuer or the Borrower with-out regard to its own financial or otherinterests.(iv) Barclays has a duty to purchase

the Exit Financing from the Issuer at a fairand reasonable price, but must balancethat duty with its duty to sell the ExitFinancing to investors, including its affiliates,at prices that are fair and reasonable.(v) Barclays will review the Bond

Purchase Agreement and other legal doc-uments for the Exit Financing in accor-dance with, and as part of, its respectiveresponsibilities to investors under the fed-eral securities laws, as applies to the factsand circumstances of this transaction2.II. Disclosures Concerning Barclays’Compensation:Barclays has been or will be compen-

sated by a fee with respect to the ExitFinancing that will be set forth in the rele-vant Commitment Letter, Term Sheetand/or Bond Purchase Agreement to benegotiated and entered into in connectionwith the issuance of the Exit Financing.The amount of the commitment fee of theExit Financing will be based on a percent-age of the principal amount of the ExitFinancing, as more fully described in theTerm Sheet attached to the CommitmentLetter. The commitment fee in respect ofthe Exit Financing will be fully earned byBarclays upon the Borrower’s delivery ofits signed signature page to theCommitment Letter to Barclays, regard-less of whether the Exit Financing is ulti-mately issued. The amount of the under-writing fee of the Exit Financing will bebased on a percentage of the principalamount of the Exit Financing, as morefully described in the Term Sheet. Whilethis form of compensation is customary inthe Exit Financing market, it presents aconflict of interest since the underwritermay have an incentive to discuss with theIssuer or Borrower a transaction that isunnecessary or to propose that the size ofthe transaction be larger than is necessary.III. Additional Conflicts Disclosures:Barclays has identified the following

additional potential or actual materialconflicts:• Conflicts of Interest: Ordinary Course

of Business Relationshipso Barclays has conducted a search of

certain databases used to check forinvestment banking conflicts, and has notdiscovered any relationship which wouldcreate a conflict of interest or the appear-ance of a conflict of interest if the firm


were to act as an Underwriter to theIssuer. With that said, in the ordinarycourse of its business Barclays maintainsrelationships with financial advisory firms,investment banks and law firms, some ofwhich may have relationships with theIssuer or Borrower. We are a full serviceinvestment bank, dealing in products pro-vided by certain firms, we may utilize theprofessional services of certain of theseentities for our own purposes, and wemay work in concert with them for, and onbehalf of, our clients. Further, in the con-duct of its varied and extensive businessactivities, Barclays enjoys professionalrelationships with many and varied clientsand customers, some of whom may havesome relationship to the Issuer orBorrower. Barclays does not keep data-bases of employees’ family relationships.o Barclays and its affiliates may

receive compensation from the Issuer orBorrower for other services provided,such as: providing a letter of credit orstandby bond purchase agreement, oracting as trustee, serving as remarketingagent swap counterparty, escrow biddingagent, or GIC bidding agent. Affiliates ofBarclays may serve in separate capacitiesin connection with the issuance of the ExitFinancing, including serving as liquidityprovider. The affiliated entity will be sepa-rately compensated for serving in thatcapacity. Barclays expects to receive apayment value, or credit from its affiliatedswap dealer if the Issuer decides to enterinto an interest rate swap on the ExitFinancing.o Barclays and its respective affiliates

also may communicate independentinvestment recommendations, marketadvice, or trading ideas and/or publish orexpress independent research views inrespect of such assets, securities or otherfinancial instruments and at any time mayhold, or recommend to clients that theyshould acquire, long and/or short posi-tions in such assets, securities and otherfinancial instruments.• Other Potential Conflicts of Interest

Disclosureo A Barclays affiliate may receive swap

termination payment, loan repayment,post-petition facility repayment orredemption of bank bondso Barclays may represent multiple

issuers/obligors on the same projecto Barclays affiliate is a referenced

bank for purposes of setting LIBORIV. Disclosures Concerning a MunicipalSecurities FinancingSince Barclays has discussed with the

Issuer and Borrower a financing structurethat may be a “complex municipal securi-ties financing” for purposes of MSRB RuleG-17, attached is a description of thematerial financial characteristics of thatfinancing structure as well as the materialfinancial risks of the financing that areknown to us and reasonably foreseeable

at this time.V. Conclusion and AcknowledgementIf you or any other Issuer officials have

any questions or concerns about thesedisclosures, please make those questionsor concerns known immediately to theundersigned. It is our understanding thatyou have been authorized to bind theIssuer by contract with us, and that youare not a party to any conflict of interestrelating to the subject transaction. If ourunderstanding is incorrect, please notifythe undersigned immediately.We are required to seek your acknowl-

edgement that you have received this let-ter. Accordingly, please send me an emailto that affect, or sign and return theenclosed copy of this letter to me at theaddress set forth above. If additionalpotential or actual material conflicts areidentified, we may be required to sendyou additional disclosures. At that time, wealso will seek your acknowledgement ofreceipt of any such additional disclosures.We look forward to working with you

and the Borrower in connection with theissuance of the Exit Financing. Thank you.Sincerely,

RESOLUTION PURSUANT TOSECTION 19 OF PUBLIC ACT 436 OF

2012, THE LOCAL FINANCIALSTABILITY AND CHOICE ACT, MCL141.1541 ET SEQ. ADOPTING AN

ALTERNATIVE PROPOSEDADDENDUM TO THE NEIGHBORHOODDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN

CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROPOSEDLAND TRANSFER FOR THE BENEFITOF THE NEW INTERNATIONAL TRADE

CROSSINGBy ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS:WHEREAS, The proposed New

International Trade Crossing (NITC) is aproject of major proportions that will haveenormous physical and financial impacton its surrounding community both duringconstruction and after completion; andWHEREAS, The City of Detroit, the

State of Michigan, the larger regionincluding the Province of Ontario,Canada, as well as the local communityall stand to benefit from the increasedopportunities offered by the constructionand operation of the new crossing; yet thelocal community will suffer the attendantnegative consequences of the disruptiveconstruction activities and ongoing opera-tion of the crossing with far greater inten-sity; andWHEREAS, Early in the planning

process for NITC, residents and neighbor-hood stakeholders formed the CommunityBenefits Coalition with an elected boardto advocate for guaranteed mitigationsand quality of life benefits for the City andaffected communities of southwestDetroit, primarily Delray, in exchange forhosting this project; andWHEREAS, The land required to devel-

op the NITC project is largely City-ownedand a development agreement in con-junction with the currently proposed trans-fer of 301 parcels of City-owned land isadvisable; andWHEREAS, The Detroit City Council

and the southwest Detroit communityhave worked to obtain a legally bindingcommunity benefits agreement as part ofa development agreement with the devel-opment entity of the NITC to addressadverse local impacts of the project; andWHEREAS, On September 2, 2014,

the Emergency Manager of the City ofDetroit officially transmitted a proposal toCity Council for the transfer of 301 parcelsof City-owned real property to theMichigan Land Bank in furtherance of theNITC, pursuant to Section 19 of Act 436.The proposal was accompanied by aNeighborhood Development Agreementcontaining “project-specific communitybenefits” for the local community; andWHEREAS, City Council and members

of the impacted community, including theCommunity Benefits Coalition, raisednumerous concerns regarding the needfor more concrete commitments for a


process leading to legally binding agree-ments between the selected bridge con-cessionaires and the community; andWHEREAS, City Council and the

Community Benefits Coalition propose anaddendum to the Neighborhood Develop -ment Agreement including (1) specificrequirements with respect to the defined“Community Advisory Group” (CAG), (2)provisions with respect to reinvestmentinto the host community of funds fromacquired land assets, and (3) re-designa-tion of Michigan State Housing Develop -ment Authority funds previously awardedto the community; andWHEREAS, The revisions contained in

the alternative NDA proposal submittedby the Detroit City Council serve to refineand enhance protections for the localcommunity with tangible economic benefitand without negative financial impact onthe terms of the land transfer; CityCouncil’s proposal therefor serves to ben-efit all Parties to the land transfer agree-ment, results in an ultimately more favor-able financial result than the agreementproposed by the Emergency Manager,and better serves the residents and tax-payers of the City of Detroit; NOWTHEREFORE BE ITRESOLVED, That the Detroit City

Council hereby approves its alternativeproposed addendum to the NeighborhoodDevelopment Agreement in conjunctionwith the land transfer agreement for theNITC; and BE IT FURTHERRESOLVED, That the Detroit City

Council hereby directs that its alternativeproposal be forwarded for considerationto the Local Emergency FinancialAssistance Loan Board; and BE IT FUR-THERRESOLVED, That the Detroit City

Council hereby urges the LocalEmergency Financial Assistance LoanBoard to adopt and implement its alterna-tive proposed addendum to theNeighborhood Development Agreementin conjunction with the land transferagreement for the NITC as best servingthe public in the City of Detroit; and BE ITFINALLYRESOLVED, That a copy of this resolu-

tion be forwarded to Governor Snyder, theLocal Emergency Financial AssistanceLoan Board, Emergency Manager KevynOrr, and Mayor Mike Duggan.

DRAFT September 11, 2014Alternate Proposal

Re: Sale of Land in Delray required forthe New International TradeCrossing.

Addendum to the NeighborhoodDevelopment Agreement betweenthe City and StateWe acknowledge and appreciate the

current engagement on the part of ourCity Administration with the State and the

formation of a Neighborhood Develop -ment Agreement (NDA) as a step in theprocess to guarantee protections for theimmediate Host Community where theNew International Trade Crossing (NITC)will have the greatest impact on residents,businesses, churches and other stake-holders.This Addendum to the NDA is intended

to provide concrete commitments by theState of Michigan and the City of Detroitregarding the NITC project in Delray,beginning a mutual community benefitsprocess that will include other legally-binding agreements with the selectedbridge concessionaire and possible otherentities.The following are proposed in addition

to the provisions in the NeighborhoodDevelopment Agreement.1. Community Advisory Group andHost Community InclusionIn defining expectations and operations

for the Community Advisory Group(CAG), the following shall be included inthat definition:A. The Community Advisory Group

shall consist primarily of residents ofDelray and Southwest Detroit, and mem-bers of the Southwest Detroit CommunityBenefits Coalition.B. Meetings between the Community

Advisory Group and the US/MichiganMembers of the International Authorityshall be bi-weekly, or as often as mutuallyagreed, in development and execution ofthe RFQ/RFP process and implementa-tion of community benefits.C. Michigan members of the Inter -

national Authority shall present, andadvocate, for what the CommunityAdvisory Group selects regarding the cur-rently undetermined community benefitscriteria for the RFP process and a com-munity benefits agreement with the con-cessionaire.D. The CAG shall review and select

priorities among bidding concessionaireresponses for community benefits in ananonymous process that preserves thelegal rights of bidders (For exampe:Bidder “A” proposes…, Bidder “B” propos-es…, etc.)2. Reinvest funds from the sale ofDelray land assets back into Delrayto address impactsA minimum of [50%] of the revenue

from the sale of city-owned land requiredfor the NITC project shall be reinvested inthe host community of Delray/SouthwestDetroit to address rehabilitation and qual-ity of life impacts.The NITC project will displace hun-

dreds of families and affect quality of lifefor additional hundreds of families whowill remain. The long study period anddelay of the NITC has affected the com-munity, and funding has not been avail-


able to remove dangerous structures,address rampant illegal dumping andscrapping, or fix street lighting, for exam-ple.Communities that host Major Projects

— beginning with the planning stages —have clearly linked impacts. Reinvestingfunds from the sale of community assetsis the right thing to do for the city’s neigh-borhoods and residents.The Delray community, in collaboration

with the City, will develop a plan for use ofthe reinvestment funds to address needsincluding: Removing dangerous struc-tures and dumping, providing ADA bus-stop improvements like benches and cov-ers (40% of Delray residents do not drive),fixing street lights and restricting trucktraffic, and possible home repair grants.[For example, an amount of $1.4-millioncould provide 140 families with $10,000home improvement grants (a mid-rangefor city grants) to repair roofs and porchsteps or replace windows and furnaces toimprove quality of life for seniors and fam-ilies overall.]It is recommended that the remain-

ing percentage of funds for the $1.4-mil-lion Delray land sale, be used in Detroitneighborhoods that, like Delray, do nothave access to funding for neighborhoodimprovements from federal, foundation orother sources.3. State of Michigan re-designate $1.9-million previously awarded housingfunding for Delray communityThe Michigan State Housing Develop -

ment Authority previously awarded a totalof $1.9-million in Federal HOME Fundsfor a matching grant intended to provide26 new houses for those being relocatedby the NITC who wished to stay in theircommunity. The project was to commencewith the NITC development, but was notrealized with the long delay of the bridgeproject start. In the next HOME Fundingcycle, an equal amount of funding shall begranted toward housing and neighbor-hood revitalization in the Delray communi-ty.(definition) Host Community means

the neighborhood community in which theconstruction of the international bridgecrossing project occurs, including bridge,plaza, and direct access roads, andwhere residences and businesses aredisplaced due to the international bridgecrossing project or will co-exist in closeproximity with the completed develop-ment.Adopted as follows:Yeas — Council Members Benson,

NEW BUSINESS

MEMORANDUMMayor’s Office

July 23, 2014Honorable City Council:Re: Proposed Resolution to Transfer

City-Owned Vacant Residential Landto the Detroit Land Bank.

On May 5th, the Detroit Land BankAuthority (DLBA) successfully launchedits BuildingDetroit.org auction website..The auction sells two vacant homes a daythat are in need of rehabilitation and aresold pursuant to a contract to ensure thatrehabilitation is complete within 6 months.With the theme “Neighbors Wanted” theDLBA has structured the auction programto encourage responsible investment thatwill change the landscape of our neigh-borhoods.The DLBA is now using the same suc-

cessful website to launch its Side Lot pro-gram. For $100 a property owner maypurchase the lot next to his/her home.Residents may simply fill out an onlinequestionnaire and purchase the lot viacredit card. Within 2 weeks the DLBA willprovide a successful purchaser with adeed to the side lot. The DLBA has beenusing this method to sell the few side lotsin its inventory and the website has thecapacity to do a full rollout of a far largerinventory of properties.Side lot sales are an excellent way to

combat blight and abandonment in thecity. When a vacant lot is sold to an adja-cent neighbor the lot can be incorporatedinto the resident’s yard and will be main-tained and kept clear of illegal dumping.This increases property values for theneighborhood and fights blight on a parcelby parcel basis.While the infrastructure and capacity

are in place for the DLBA to run a suc-cessful side lot program, it only holds titleto a few hundred side lots. The City ownsnearly 40,000 vacant lots. Transferring asmany of these city-owned vacant lots tothe Land Bank as quickly as possible willallow us to make these properties avail-able to Detroit residents. It will place prop-

erties back on the tax rolls, and will com-bat dumping and blighted vacant landthroughout the City.

STATEMENT OF COUNCILMAN ANDRE L. SPIVEY REGARDING THE REMOVAL OFKEVYN D. ORR AS EMERGENCYMANAGER UNDER ACT 436

In March of 2013, under Public Act 436,Governor Rick Snyder appointed KevynOrr as Emergency Manager for the City ofDetroit. Soon after, the City of Detroit filedfor Chapter 9 Municipal Bankruptcy,becoming one of, if not the largestmunicipality ever to file for Chapter 9 inU.S. History.Going into this bankruptcy was

uncharted territory for all of us. TheCouncil, the Mayor and in some ways Iam sure even for Mr. Orr. Our city wasclearly in dire straits financially and thefuture seemed uncertain. As the weeksand months have passed and the pro-ceedings progressed, the City of Detroithas persevered. We have made progressin the courts withstanding many chal-lenges while conducting successful nego-tiations with numerous interested parties.As a government we are still makingstrides to bring valuable city services thathave been lacking to our citizens.None of us want our city to be under

the control of an Emergency Managerlonger than it has to be, but the fact thatthe start of the bankruptcy trial waspushed back from July 24 to August 27created a new set of problems.Under Public Act 436, once the

Emergency Manager has served for atleast 18 months after his or her appoint-ment, the Emergency Manager may, byresolution be removed by a 2/3 vote of thegoverning body of the local governmentwith the approval of the Mayor.According to our legal counsel,

September 28 would be the first availabledate for the City Council to considerremoving Kevyn Orr from the office ofEmergency Manager.It is apparent that Mr. Orr’s expertise is

needed to help move the bankruptcy pro-ceedings and the city’s restructuring planforward. He has been an integral part ofthis process that has brought the city backto the brink of solvency. The City of Detroitwould be taking a gargantuan step back-wards if we eliminated Kevyn Orr from theremainder of these most important bank-ruptcy proceedings.For these reasons, I voted to remove

the Emergency Manager on the EffectiveDate of the Plan of Adjustment. He willremain in this capacity only until the effec-

tive date of the Plan of Adjustment, onlydealing with matters associated with thebankruptcy and restructuring initiativescontained in the Plan of Adjustment. Anorder has been issued returning the oper-ations of the City to the Mayor andCouncil. I am certain that this is truly in thebest interest of the City of Detroit.On March 28, 2013, Kevyn Orr was

appointed as the Emergency Manager forthe City of Detroit by Governor RickSnyder. For the past eighteen (18)months, the City Council, the Mayor, andthe Emergency Manager have workedcollaboratively to provide residents withthe highest level of service possible in themidst of financial receivership.In accordance with the provisions of the

Local Financial Stability and Choice Act,Public Act 326 of 2012, the City Councilhas the ability to remove the EmergencyManager from office by a 2/3 vote of CityCouncil, with the approval of the Mayor.The earliest date that his could occur isSunday, September 28, 2014.As the City approaches the end of its

historic bankruptcy proceeding, it isabsolutely imperative that the next stepscontinue the immense progress that hasbeen made and continues to move theCity toward an expedient emergence frombankruptcy.For that reason, Detroit City Council

approved a resolution to remove KevynOrr upon the effective date of the Plan ofAdjustment and remove the City fromreceivership. The resolution allows Orr tostay on through this date solely for thepurposes of executing documents andoverseeing litigation related to the bank-ruptcy proceedings. The Mayor will send aletter to Governor Snyder approving theCouncil’s resolution.The move will allow the City to finalize

key agreements such as the GrandBargain and secure hundreds of millionsof dollars in financing to protect our pen-sioners and fund improvements to criticalcity services.We, as Detroit’s elected leadership, are

determined to do what’s in the best inter-est of our city and remove the emergencymanager quickly and responsibly.

August 24, 2014Honorable City Council:Re: Petition No. 2254 — URS

Corporation, request to install soilborings/monitoring wells located inthe Hayes Street area and the alleylocated behind the strip mall on15000 E. 8 Mile Road.

Petition No. 2254 of “URS Corporation.”whose address is 27777 Franklin Road,Suite 2000, Southfield, Michigan, 48034request permission to install and maintainFour (4) monitoring wells within HayesAvenue, 120 feet wide, and the East-Westpublic alley in the block bounded byCarlisle Drive, 60 feet wide, East EightMile Road, 204 feet wide, Gratiot Avenue,120 feet wide and Hayes Avenue, 120 feetwide. The purpose of the bored well is tomonitor the existence or extent of soilcontamination from leaking undergroundfuel storage tanks (a.k.a “L.U.S.T.”).The encroachment petition was

referred to the City Engineering Division— DPW for investigation and report. Thisis our report:The Division of Environmental Affairs

Of the Buildings, Safety Engineering andEnvironmental Department (BSEED) isresponsible for developing and imple-menting a coordinated and comprehen-sive environmental policy for the City ofDetroit, including soil remediation fromleaking underground fuel storage tanks.To ensure public safety BSEED will reviewthe petitioner’s environmental activesprior to the issuance of city permits. ARight-of-Entry is required by BSEED priorto contractor field activity.Soil borings and monitoring well instal-

lations are equivalent to an “open cut” in apublic street or alley. Necessary permits

have to be obtained for any street or alleyopening, backfill, surface restoration, bar-ricade, or occupancy of city rights-of-wayto install monitoring wells. The CityEngineeirng Division — DPW will requirethe permit applicant to secure a right-of-entry approval from the Division ofEnvironmental Affairs of BSEED.It is the responsibility of “URS

Corporation.” to give reasonable andproper notice to any abutting propertyowner(s) before commencing any opencut or boring operations within publicrights-of-way.The enforcement of fire safety regula-

tions and building codes is the responsi-bility of the Fire Marshal and BSEED.Generally, the Fire Marshal and BSEEDreport no objections to the placement andmaintenance of permanent L.U.S.T. moni-toring well encroachments within publicrights-of-way.DTE Energy — MichCon Gas

Company reports involvement but noobjections provided that the installer con-tact MISS DIG at 1 800 482-7171; andprovided that any removal or relocation ofgas facilities be done at project expense.The Public Lighting Department (PLD)

reports having a street lighting circuit andno structure or barricades can be builtover PLD installations or on existing utilityeasement areas. As per PLD require-ments, any structure proposed to be builtshall maintain a 10 feet horizontal clear-ance from the overhead PLD lines andinstallations. The contractor should takenecessary precautions not to damagePLD utilities, if they plan to use heavyearth moving equipment. The contractorwill need liable for any damages to anyPLD underground facilities. PLD needsunrestricted easement rights with 24-hourheavy vehicles access to the areasrequest for encroachment to maintainPLD’s facilities.Traffic Engineering Division — DPW

reports involvement, but no objectionsprovided that the grade shall be flush withmonitoring wells cover and the grade inoriginal and/or better condition afterinstallation of the monitoring wells.The Water and Sewerage Depart ment

(DWSD) reports involvement, but noobjections provided the proposedencroachments for monitoring well instal-lation provide a minimum clearance. Thepetitioner must follow DWSD provisions.All other involved City departments and

privately owned utility companies requestthe petitioner(s) make use of “Miss Dig”facilities before any soil borings or perma-nent monitoring wells are installed in pub-lic (street or alley) rights-of-way.Finally, the City Engineering Division —

DPW requires “URS Corporation” to sub-mit certified “as built” drawings, a map andsurvey, showing the exact location of the


petitioner’s completed permanent L.U.S.T.monitoring well installations within publicrights-of-way.In accord with Detroit Code (Sec. 50-1-

9), there is an appropriate resolution,granting the encroachment petition,attached for consideration by yourHonorable Body.

Respectfully submitted,RICHARD DOHERTY, P.E.,
