<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">My update
this month will focus on city of Ypsilanti police service options and Water
Street development.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"> </span></p>
<h1>Budget Revenue and Expenditure Projections Identified; Permanent Ypsilanti
Police Chief to be Sought</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">Two
important decisions were made at the Police Services meeting on July 9. First,
Ypsilanti city council created general-fund revenue projections for the next
five years (shown below), using projected worst-case property tax revenues
coupled with moderate reductions in state funding. The divergence between
future revenue (green) and expenditures (red) mandates a restructuring of
overall general fund expenses to maintain a balanced budget.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">Second, city
council directed city manager Ed Koryzno to start the search process for a new
chief of police. The selection process will be defined by the city manager in
the coming weeks. The city manager will select the chief of police and city
council must then approve the contract.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">Additional </span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">public discussions of restructuring
and service options will be held on:</span></p>

development proposals for the city of Ypsilanti’s <a href="http://cityofypsilanti.com/services/administration_services/planning_and_development/waterstreet.htm" target="_blank">Water
Street property</a> are in the late stages of negotiation. One proposal is a
fast-food restaurant </span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">on the
corner of Michigan Avenue</span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">
</span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">and River Street;</span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"> the other is a m</span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">ulti-family/student housing
development on the southern portion of the property. Two additional proposals
are in the early stages of negotiation: a commercial/retail project along
Michigan Avenue, from River Street to Park Street, and a senior housing
development along the Huron River on the southwest portion of the property. </span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">The purchase agreement for any
proposal must be approved by city council. August 18<sup>th</sup> is the
earliest date for city council to consider the first two proposals. </span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif";">In
the meantime, the city has been awarded $850,000 in federal grant money to
restart demolition on the property this year. City council has hired an
