CANTON COMMUNITY REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2019 AGENDA ITEM # C-1 ITEM: Consider Extension of an Existing Metro-Act Permit with ATT PRESENTER: William Serchak, Engineering Manager INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE: None
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2003, Canton Township’s Telecommunication Ordinance No. 157 (now known as Chapter 66 of the Township Code of Ordinances) became effective. Under this ordinance, the Township must not unreasonably withhold the issuance of a permit to occupy and use the public right-of-way for telecommunication providers, provided the application is administratively complete. In April 2019, we received a letter from ATT requesting a renewal for their existing MetroACT permit to install various underground and aboveground utilities within the Township. BACKGROUND: The applicant will be required to obtain permits from Wayne County and MDOT in order to perform any construction work in the public right-of-way owned by these outside agencies. STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS: N/A ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize the Township Clerk to execute the letter of agreement for renewal of the ATT MetroACT permit in Canton Township. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS & ACCOUNT NUMBER: Canton Township receives revenue through the METRO Act amounting to $45,000 per year from the various telecommunication providers within the Township. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: Upon approval, Municipal Services will coordinate with the Township Clerk for signature and will provide ATT with the renewed permit. DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: N/A FINANCE AND BUDGET DIRECTOR’S RECOMMENDATION: Approval SUPERVISOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approval MODEL RESOLUTION: I move to approve the renewal of the Metro-Act Right-of-Way Telecommunications permit for ATT and authorize the Township Clerk to sign the permit on behalf of Canton Township.

MEETING DATE: May 14, 2019 AGENDA ITEM #C-2
ITEM: Consider Second Reading of an ordinance to amend Chapter 46, Article II of the Canton Code of Ordinances entitled “Offenses Involving the Person” to revise Section 46-31.
PRESENTER: Josh Meier, Public Safety Director
INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE: None anticipated.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Board is being asked to consider an amendment to the ordinance to increase the penalty to a maximum of 93 days in jail or $500, which is the same penalty under state law, in order to provide a greater punishment/deterrent for offenders. With the proposed amendments, Canton’s assault and battery ordinance is now identical to state law.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently, the Township’s assault and battery and domestic assault and battery ordinance has a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine. The Police Department has requested the ordinance be amended to increase the penalty to a maximum of 93 days in jail or $500, which is the same penalty under state law, in order to provide a greater punishment/deterrent for offenders. The Charter Township Act limits penalties for violations of local ordinances to 90 days in jail and/or $500, unless the local ordinance “substantially corresponds to a violation of states law.” With the proposed amendments, Canton’s assault and battery ordinance is now identical to state law, and thus the maximum penalty may be increased to 93 days in jail and/or $500 fine.
STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS: Maintain the public peace, health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Canton Township.
ACTION REQUESTED: Remove from the table, hold a second reading, and adopt text amendment to Chapter, 46, Article II, Section 46-31 of the Canton Code of Ordinances.
BUDGET IMPLICATIONS & ACCOUNT NUMBER: None.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: If approved, this ordinance will be published and become effective on May 23, 2019.
DIRECTOR’S RECOMMENDATION: Approved MODEL RESOLUTION:
(1) I move to remove from the table, hold the Second Reading and adopt an amendment to
Canton Code of Ordinances, which amends Chapter 46 of Canton Code of Ordinances, to be published and become effective on May 23, 2019.

CANTON COMMUNITY
REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
MEETING DATE: 5/14/2019 AGENDA ITEM # G-1
ITEM: Request Approval of Website ADA Compliance Service with CivicPlus
PRESENTER: Wendy Trumbull, Finance & Budget Director
INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE: None anticipated.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: IT Services is requesting permission to subscribe to an ADA
Compliance Service & Certification solution called AudioEye, which is offered by CivicPlus (the
Township’s website hosting provider). CivicPlus has partnered with AudioEye to offer its
customers the ability to quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively ensure their website is ADA
Compliant and Certified as such. Subscription to this service will allow the Township to become
quickly compliant with Federal laws as it pertains to website and ADA compliance requirements,
which was noted as a needed enhancement within our ADA Transition Plan.
The initial quoted price of this service was $35,800. In order to limit the Township’s costs,
changes were made to our website structure, which allowed the cost to be greatly reduced to
$11,300. CivicPlus will hold this cost flat if the Township signs a 3-year agreement. We are
asking that the Board waive the purchasing policy and allow the Supervisor to sign a 3-year
agreement with CivicPlus.
BACKGROUND:
During the course of our ADA Transition Plan, it was noted that our website it not currently in
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. As a result, we are requesting the Board
approve a 3-year contract with CivicPlus utilizing a software solution, which scans our website to
ensure compliance.
Current practice by IT staff to maintain ADA compliance is an entirely manual process. It
requires staff to visually police the Township’s website to ensure published information and
content meet the ADA Compliance guidelines and requirements. When non-compliant content is
identified, key IT staff make corrections or notify the department of the non-compliant content.
Due to the size of the Township’s website, content which is not compliant does find its way
through the approval process and can go undetected for some time. The service being requested
will automate the review process and provide the Township the ability to automatically detect,
auto-correct and report key staff of content which does not meet guidelines. Aside from the
automated testing benefit, the service provides ‘visitor usability features,’ which can provide a
seamless ADA compliant experience to visitors.
The offering of this service by CivicPlus is unique due to its tight integration with the back-end
systems that comprise the Township’s website management system and therefore offers the most
seamless experience possible to the system administrators.
If interested, AudioEye can be experienced at the website of Portsmouth, VA at:
http://www.portsmouthva.gov. Look to the lower right corner of the website front page for the
white on blue human being icon to begin your experience.
STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS: Efficiently utilize resources and maintain fiscal responsibility while
still providing ADA Compliant web experiences to Township residents and meeting mandated
Federal regulations.
ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the waiving the of the Township’s Purchasing Policy
requirement to “Request for Proposal” any expenditure in excess of $10,000. IT Services worked
diligently to reduce the initial proposed costs to a very amenable figure. Due the unique and sole
back-end access of Township content provided by CivicPlus to the AudioEye solution, no
competing Website ADA Compliant offerings would be capable of a more seamless integration.
Approve the request to enter into an agreement with CivicPlus for the service and features
provided by its AudioEye offering. Create a new purchase order in the amount of $11,300 to
CivicPlus for the initial year of the AudioEye service.
BUDGET IMPLICATIONS & ACCOUNT NUMBER: All required funding will be expensed
from the ITS Division’s 101.258.930_0015 Maintenance & Repair – Software Support account
from the 2019 fiscal year. This agreement and service will be annual and ongoing with
anticipated customary increases.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: There is no interruption of services to Township Departments or
residents anticipated. CivicPlus has informed Township staff that once the Statement of Work and
agreement have been received by CivicPlus, they will work with AudioEye to schedule the project.
Once the project commences, there will be three (3) phases of implementation lasting a period of
approximately 100 calendar days in total.
FINANCE AND BUDGET DIRECTOR’S RECOMMENDATION: Approval
SUPERVISOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approval
MODEL RESOLUTION: I move to approve waiving the Township Purchasing Policy
requirements for publication of a Request for Proposal for purchases in excess of $10,000 and
approve the attached 3-year agreement between the Township and CivicPlus for the AudioEye
Ally Services. I further move to approve a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $11,300
payable to CivicPlus, Inc. for subscription to and services offered by the AudioEye Ally Services

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
MEETING DATE: 5/14/2019 AGENDA ITEM # G-2
ITEM: Request Purchase of 2019 Computer Workstation Replacements
PRESENTER: Wendy Trumbull, Finance & Budget Director
INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE: None anticipated.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: During the financial challenges of past years, the IT Services
Department worked to minimize the impact by greatly reducing or eliminating scheduled computer
workstation replacements. 2019 is the first year to address the necessary large-scale replacement
of outdated and out of warranty computers. In addition to the expired warranties, the older
computers remain on the Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System. Microsoft has published a
schedule for end of support in January of 2020 for its Windows 7 operating system. Additionally,
several applications internal to the Township will cease support for Windows 7 later this year.
These factors make it important that the Township replace a significant number of Computer
Workstations this year.
The computer pricing is very aggressive and is derived from the State of Michigan purchasing
contract negotiated with Dell Computers. For this reason, IT Services is requesting that the
purchasing policy requirement to bid this purchase be waived and that a purchase order be
approved for the amounts and specifications listed in the quotes. The total amount, not to exceed
$140,500, was included in 2019 budget approved by the Board.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the financial challenges of past years, the IT
Services Division greatly reduced or eliminated the scheduled replacement of computers. In 2019
the IT Services budgeted for a significant number of workstation replacements. Numerous factors
are pushing IT Services to replace such a large percentage of the computers in 2019. All 153
computers needing replacement utilize Microsoft Windows 7. As Microsoft has published January
14, 2020 as the last date of support for Windows 7, it is imperative that computers be replaced to
maintain access to current security patches issued monthly by Microsoft. Additionally, a subset
of these computers are required to be utilizing Windows 10 by November of 2019. The annual
end-of-year update to the Township’s Financial Application will require the use of Windows 10.
IT Services solicited pricing from Dell Computers. The Dell OptiPlex line of computers which the
Township has used exclusively for the past 15 years has provided great value while also providing
extremely negligible amounts of post-purchase hardware support.
In order to maximize the financial resources for this purchase, IT staff evaluated the work position
of each computer to be replaced. Consequently, we have created a very specific list of computers
utilizing various levels of hardware, processors, and RAM for the computers being replaced. This
permitted IT to further reduce overall costs for this expenditure.
STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS: Efficiently utilize resources and maintain fiscal
responsibility while still providing employees with modern computer workstation, which have a
track record of providing high levels of uptime to all Township divisions.
ACTION REQUESTED: Waive the purchasing policy requirement of publishing a Request
for Proposal, as the prices and discounts supplied have been negotiated by the State of Michigan
with Dell Computers. Permit IT Services to create a Purchase Order in the amount totaling
$140,500 to Dell Computers for the purchase of a total of 153 computers to replace Township
computers prior to January of 2020.
BUDGET IMPLICATIONS & ACCOUNT NUMBER: The funding for this purchase was
budgeted for in the IT Services Division 2019 Budget. All required funding exists and will be
expensed from the ITS Division’s 101-228.970_0010 Capital Outlay Computers and Equipment.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: The installation of the new computers will be deployed in a
manner which will least impact the operation of Township employees. All plans and schedules
will be cleared with departmental Director’s first and communicated to the employee base prior to
any computer replacement being completed.
FINANCE AND BUDGET DIRECTOR’S RECOMMENDATION: Approval
SUPERVISOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approval
MODEL RESOLUTION:
I move to waive the purchasing policy Request for Proposal requirement for this purchase utilizing
the price as negotiated by the State of Michigan.
I further move to create a new purchase order to Dell Computers in an amount not to exceed
$140,500 to cover the cost of purchasing 153 computers

CANTON COMMUNITY REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION
MEETING DATE: May 14, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: G-3
ITEM: Consider Approval of a Budget Amendment and Award of a Purchase Order Contract to Michigan CAT for the purchase of a CAT 308E2 RQ rubber track excavator and Towmaster tilt trailer to transport. PRESENTER: Pat Williams, Township Supervisor INDIVIDUALS IN ATTENDANCE: None Anticipated. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Our Public Works staff operates and maintains the Township’s 460 miles of water main, 360 miles of sanitary sewer, multiple hydrants, valves, and other appurtances. The public works’ equipment fleet currently has a 1999 Case backhoe in use, which has reached its serviceable life and is due for replacement. In order to continue providing the necessary level of service, this machinery will be replaced with the proposed excavator. The CAT 308 excavator is to be purchased from Michigan CAT, a sole source provider in Michigan. Public Works is moving to all CAT equipment due to its excellent quality and DPW operators and mechanics being familiar with CAT products and operations. BACKGROUND: The proposed equipment was originally budgeted for replacement/purchase in 2020. Due to the reduction in both water and sewer costs from our providers in the 2019/2020 rate season, this purchase was moved to 2019 in order to spread capital expenses out and ease effects on future rates. This purchase was calculated into the 2019/2020 water and sewer rates, which were adopted in April. The excavator will be used to service and maintain Canton’s Water and Sanitary Sewer Systems when excavation is necessary. The rubber track option was selected to help prevent damage to roads and structures that must be crossed during excavation. To help with the cost, Public Works will be trading in a 1999 Case rubber tire back hoe that has reached its serviceable life. Michigan CAT has evaluated the Case Backhoe and have found the trade in value to be $20,000. Public Works has budgeted $150,000 for the purchase of the new excavator and transport trailer. The quote from Michigan CAT has been received in the amount of $158,916. Total cost to Canton will be $138,916 when the $20,000 trade in is subtracted from the quoted $158,916. STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS: Our ongoing Fleet replacement Plan includes maintaining present assets and replacing aging equipment when necessary. ACTION REQUESTED: Accept the sole-source quote from Michigan CAT, and award a purchase order contract not-to-exceed $138,916for the purchase of a 2019 CAT 308E2 RQ excavator and Towmaster tilt transport trailer.
BUDGET IMPLICATIONS & ACCOUNT NUMBER: Funding for this purchase was included in the 2019/2020 Water and Sewer rates. A budget amendment will be necessary for this expense. Funding as follows: Increase expense: #592-537.970_0040 Capital Outlay Vehicles; $69,458 #592-536.970_0040 Capital Outlay Vehicles: $69,458 Decrease Expense: #592-536.999 Transfer to fund balance: $138,916 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN: Upon approval by the Township Board of Trustees, the Public Works Division will create a purchase order and place the order with Michigan CAT, 19500 Dix Toledo Rd. Brownstown, MI 48183. The equipment is onsite and ready for delivery.

Aquatic Source has also performed other pool improvement projects at the Summit over the past 10 years with successful results. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lazy River is a very popular feature of the Aquatic Center at The Summit on the Park and has been utilized by over 120,000 guests per year. The Lazy River specifically schedules 11 classes per week with 20 – 25 participants per class. In September of 2009, the original lazy river coating was replaced with a Marcite finish. This finish has a life expectancy of 10 years. The present condition of the lazy river surface is uneven, worn and discolored. The general overall condition is poor. This supports the conclusion that the surface has reached an end to its useful life. Aquatic Sources proposal included three options for recoating the lazy river. They offered Marcite with a one year warranty for $16,570, Diamond Brite Quartz with a two year warranty for $22,500 or a Pebble Tec finish with a ten year warranty for $36,000. As a necessary part of the bid, $2,700 was included for the replacement of 4 pool bottom drains. In addition, a $6,000 contingency for unforeseen conditions was requested to be added to the proposal amount total. After investigating other facilities and considering budget limitations, staff is requesting that a Diamond Brite Quartz be chosen to apply and that the 4 drains be repaired. Staff is also requesting and is comfortable with lowering the contingency for unforeseen conditions to this project to $4,800. Therefore, the total amount for the project be $30,000 which will match the allotted budget for the project. STRATEGIC PLAN/GOALS: Create and ensure quality facilities and services.
