Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Application for Naming and Renaming Memorials
In the
City of Lansing, Michigan
Attachments
1-The proposed honorary street name of Cesar E. Chavez Ave, commencing at Oakland and East Grand
River Ave and ending at Pine Street and West Grand River Avenue. The Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez
Committee and the Old Town Commercial Association is requesting the name of an American hero
whose struggle for justice and equality for all Americans is well recognized and documented. He, like
Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa and others, understood the meaning of non
violent social change and used it to elevate the human condition. Cesar E. Chavez was a social activist
who founded the first successful Farm Workers union in American history whose mission was to reclaim
dignity, fair wages, medical coverage, benefits and humane living conditions for millions of Americans.
Cesar E. Chavez inspired millions of Americans and was a recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace
Prize and also awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom America's highest civilian honor. His
philosophy, "Si se Puede" or "Yes we can," influenced millions of Americans to seek economic and social
equality since the 1960's and that philosophy is still alive and well today. Cesar E. Chavez, a United
States veteran served in the Navy and served in World War II. His life was dedicated to advancing the
cause and improving the life of all farm workers and of all oppressed people in the United States and the
world.
2-The effect of the proposed honorary name upon residents is very positive. We have found zero
negative impact and believe the honorary signs for Chavez will give an opportunity to raise awareness
about who he was and what he did. Other potential positive effects include the increase of commerce,
and in turn increased property values, in the area. The signage will illustrate that Lansing, Michigan is a
city that believes in diversity and understands the importance of tolerance and inclusion of honoring
Americans who have made a difference for all.
3 -The effect of the proposed honorary name upon business is very positive. We have found zero
negative impact and believe the honorary signs for Chavez will give an opportunity to raise awareness
about who he was and what he did, while limiting the proposed cost of a complete street name change.
The proposed additional signage will addresses three main concerns from Old Town businesses and
property owners. 1) It maintains the historic integrity of Grand River Ave. as a heritage trail and main
artery through the state of Michigan used first by the Native Americans. 2) The additional signage does
not demand extra cost or confusion for businesses that are currently within the proposed area or the
customers that patronize them. And lastly, 3) the decision to move forward on a combination of
projects to honor Cesar E. Chavez and educate the community has been an inclusive one. The process
included many meetings, letters, signatures, and heightened awareness and respect for what both
Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez and the Old Town community want to achieve for the greater Lansing area.
4- Implementation cost will be minimal.to both the City and business owners. Maximum cost for sign
toppers for the 28 signs along the proposed section of Grand River Avenue is $100 each.
5 - In terms of anticipated support, each day citizens of Lansing and organizations continue to express
great support of a visible and honorable memorial for Cesar E. Chavez. A variety of local organizations
and stakeholders have clearly stated their support of both honorary street signs and Cesar E. Chavez
Plaza. This project will unite many of the citizens of Lansing to work together for the betterment of the
City of Lansing using Old Town as a vehicle to unify.

1-The proposed name change of City Lot 56 to Cesar Chavez Plaza. The Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez
Committee and the Old Town Commercial Association is requesting the name of an American hero

2 -The effect of the proposed plaza upon residents is very positive. We have found zero negative
impact and believe the signage and educational information throughout the plaza in honor of Chavez
will give an opportunity to raise awareness about who he was and what he did. Other potential positive
effects include the increase of commerce, and in turn increased property values, in the area. The Plaza
will give residents and stakeholders a safe and welcoming area to gather and celebrate the power of
community. The signage will illustrate that Lansing, Michigan is a city that believes in diversity and
understands the importance of tolerance and inclusion of honoring Americans who have made a
difference for all.
3 -The effect of the proposed plaza upon business is very positive. We have found zero negative impact
and believe the signage and educational information throughout the plaza in honor of Chavez will give
an opportunity to raise awareness about who he was and what he did. Currently, the lot in the heart of
Lansing's culture and arts district is the stage for over 111 festivals and events attracting 125,000 people
and $146,000 in advertising. The plaza has acted as a gathering place for events celebrating the history
and diversity of Lansing and will now be named after a man that recognized the power of community.
The process in which this memorial was decided included many meetings, letters, signatures, and
heightened awareness and respect for what both Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez and the Old Town
community want to achieve for the greater Lansing area.
4- Implementation cost will be minimal to both the City and business owners. All improvements to
Cesar E. Chavez Plaza will be privately funded including archways, statues, gardens and educational
plaques. Lansing for Cesar Chavez will act as the fiduciary arm of the partnership while both Old Town
Commercial Association and Lansing for Cesar Chavez volunteers will donate time and resources to
make the memorial a reality.
5- In terms of anticipated support, each day citizens of Lansing and organizations continue to express
great support of a visible and honorable memorial for Cesar Chavez. A variety of local organizations and
stakeholders have clearly stated their support of both honorary street signs and Cesar E. Chavez Plaza.
This project will unite many of the citizens of Lansing to work together for the betterment of the City of
Lansing using Old Town as a vehicle to unify.

ADDENDUM
LANSING FOR CESAR E. CHAVEZ AVENUE
(1) The proposed street name change from Grand River Avenue is, to Cesar E.
Chavez Avenue, "commencing at Oakland and East Grand River Avenue and
ending at Pine Street and West Grand River Avenue. The Lansing for Cesar
E. Chavez Committee is requesting the name of an American hero whose
struggle for justice and equality for all Americans is well recognized and
documented. He, like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother
Teresa and others understood the meaning of non violent social change and
used it to elevate the human condition. Cesar E. Chavez was a social activist
who founded the first. successful Farm Workers union in American history
whose mission was to reclaim dignity, fair wages, medical coverage, benefits
and humane living conditions for millions of American's. Cesar E. Chavez
inspired millions of Americans was a recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr.
Peace Prize and also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom America's
highest civilian honor: His philosophy, "Si se Puede"or "Yes we Can,"
influenced millions of Americans to seek economic and social equality since
the 1960's and that philosophy is still alive and well today. Cesar E. Chavez
a United States veteran served in the Navy and sewed in World War H. His
life was dedicated to advancing the cause of and improving the life of all farm
workers and of all oppressed people in the United States and the world.
(2) The subject of the application is Grand River Avenue.
(3) The current name of the street is Grand River Avenue.
(4) The effect of the proposed name change upon residents and businesses is
being received favorably. Many of the businesses currently on what is now
Grand River Avenue have expressed a positive response to the street name
change. The Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee have met with business
owner's and with the Old Town Commercial Association representing many of
the businesses on Grand River Avenue who are supportive of the change.
Another significant effect is the attracting of business and commerce in that area.
Two businesses have been identified and have made it known that the changing
of Grand River to Cesar E. Chavez has encouraged them to open new business
within the area resulting from the proposed street name change. In terms of a
social effect, it will illustrate that Lansing, Michigan is a'city that believes in
diversity and understands the importance of tolerance and inclusion of honoring
Americans who have made a difference for all.
1
(5) The projected cost should be minimal to the city and to the business owners
currently on Grand River. Thirty street signs have been identified that would
require changing from Grand River Ave. to Cesar E. Chavez Ave. According to
Chad A. Gamble, P. E., Director of Public Service, it cost about $110.00 per sign
to be replaced and installed. Mr. Chris Swope, Lansing City Clerk, has quoted
the anticipated cost of $117.00 for mailing notification to the area businesses and
residents. In terms of the cost of the business owner's changing their stationery,
it is being recommended that a gradual name change process be considered so
that the current stationery can be utilized until the street name is officially
changed. The businesses would incur a one time only cost as part of the normal
procedure for reordering of stationery with the new street name. Another option
is the Committee has negotiated with a local print shop that will offer a group rate
for printing of new stationery to help absorb some of the cost for the business
owners on Grand River Avenue.
(6) In terms of anticipated support, each day citizens of Lansing and

organizations continue to express great support of the street name change. A
variety of local organizations have clearly stated their support and letters
demonstrating that support are attached. The street .name change has received
a positive response from citizens of Lansing representing all walks of life and
ethnic and economic backgrounds. It has united many of the citizens of Lansing
to work together for the betterment of the City of Lansing using the street name
change as a vehicle to unify and better understand each other.
There has been nominal opposition to the street name change. The Lansing for
Cesar E. Chavez Committee representatives continue to meet with individuals,
organizations, business association and business owner's .doing business on the
affected street name change to garner their support. On going meetings have
been scheduled with agreed upon discussion guidelines of civility, to dialogue
with anyone or any organization that may oppose such a street name change.

Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Avenue
Honoring the Life and Legacy of Cesar E. Chavez
Whereas, Cesar E. Chavez, a social activist founded the first successful Farm
Workers Union (UFWOC) in the United States, whose mission was to obtain
dignity, fair wages, medical coverage, benefits and humane living conditions for
the millions of farm laborers that toil in agricultural industry; and
Whereas, Cesar E. Chavez, a farm worker, an advocate of civil rights, a

spiritual inspiration, an environmentalist, and a crusader for nonviolent civil
disobedience,' manifested through fasts, strikes and boycotts focused on safe
working conditions, fair wages, housing, and the banning of child labor, and
Whereas, Cesar E. Chavez' philosophy, "Si se Puede" or "Yes we Can"

influenced millions of Americans to seek economic and social equality in the
agricultural fields and industry; and
Whereas, Cesar -E. Chavez has inspired millions of people, was a recipient of
the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize, and awarded the Presidential Medal of
Freedom, America's highest civilian honor for his outstanding contributions to our
country; and
Whereas, Cesar E. Chavez visited Lansing, Michigan, the Capital City of the
State of Michigan, a major agricultural state, several times as a result of his
concern for the thousands of farm workers in Michigan; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper to honor Cesar E. Chavez, an exemplary role

model, for all United States citizens, whose name is synonymous with justice,
equality and freedom. Such that Lansing the Capitol City would be proud'to pay
homage to this man by naming a street Cesar E. Chavez in his honor.
Whereas, the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee proposes to rename a

portion of Grand River Avenue to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue commencing at
Oakland Street & East Grand River Avenue and ending at Pine Street and West
Grand River Avenue.
1
Whereas, it is fitting to rename that portion of Grand River Avenue commencing
at Oakland Street and East Grand River Avenue and ending at Pine Street and
West Grand River Avenue, to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue because of its, visibility
and proximity to the Capital, and its location in the heart of Lansing's well
established Latino Community and Old Town which has been recognized as a
cultural and business attraction. Moreover, the name change will enhance the
business and cultural environment of the area, promote economic investment,
and will alleviate the confusion caused by the use of North, East, and West
Grand River.
Therefore, be it resolved that the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez

Committee recommends that a portion of Grand River Avenue be
renamed Cesar E. Chavez Avenue, as described above, in honor of
and in recognition of this great American hero.

established an activist legacy that is to be greatly admired. His sacrifice and
determination serve as an inspiration to each of us.
Renaming a section of E. Grand River Avenue in Chavez' honor would serve as fitting
reminder of his ceaseless efforts to bring about positive change. Such an action would
reflect the respect and admiration felt by so many in our community who value Mr.
Chavez' tireless crusade for social justice.
Because of this, I stand with you in your effort to recognize the memory of Cesar Chavez

Dear City Council Members;
The Lansing Area Hispanic Business Association is proud to endorse the

renaming of part of Grand River Avenue, in Old Town, to Cesar E. Chavez
Avenue. Why Should the Lansing City Council honor Cesar E. Chavez?
This man was an:

1. American activist and Labor organizer
2. He leaves a legacy of fairness and justice for all
3. He was respected and honored by Presidents and the American people
4. He left us with core values of stewardship, relevancy, service to others,
sacrifice, non-violence and respect for life and the environment.
On August 8, 1994, President Clinton awarded the Medal of Freedom to Cesar E.

Chavez. In the citation accompanying America's highest civilian honor, which
was awarded posthumously, the President lauded Chavez for having "faced
formidable, often violent opposition with dignity and nonviolence and he was
victorious." Cesar E. Chavez left our world better than he found it, and his legacy
inspired us still. He was for his own people a "Moses figure" the President
declared. "The farm workers who labored in the fields and yearned for respect
and self-sufficiency pinned their hopes on this remarkable man who, with faith
and discipline, soft spoken humility and amazing inner strength, led a very
courageous life." The time has come for the city of Lansing to stand tall and
honor this great American hero.

Dear Ms. Elva Reyes,

supports the, safety of migrant and seasonal workers. Ensuring their protection as well as
the enforcement of contractual obligations by the Code of Regulations set forth by the
Department of Labor.
Cesar E. Chavez organized the migrant worker for better conditions. For their health,
safety, not working in pesticides fields, and better wages.
Today many migrant workers still struggle to make abetter living. But with Cesar
Chavez determination in educating the legislature and their community to be strong.
We need to continue this education within our community. And this will be the first
question as to why we should have a street named after Cesar E. Chavez. For his hard
work to educate the community that migrant workers need safe working conditions and
better pay.
We are in support in the street name change.

Dear Chairperson Elva Reyes,
The Coalition of Labor Union Women is America's only national organization for union
women formed in 1974.
The primary mission of CLUW is to unify all union women in a viable organization to
determine our common problems and goals. We have four goals: to promote affirmative
action in the workplace, to strengthen the role of women in unions, to organize the
unorganized women, and to increase the involvement of women in the political and
legislative process.
As we know, Delores Huerta worked closely with Cesar E. Chavez. Her concern for the
working conditions of farm workers, Ceasr E. Chavez made a difference in Delores
Huerta's life. By organizing the migrant workers, helping them get a better life. And
educating the legislators about the bad working conditions in the fields.
We are in support of the street being named "Cesar E. Chavez". Our community need to
be educated and remember Cesar E. Chavez for his hard work.

Veronica Johnson express our support of the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee. As an
organization named for another labor leader, A. Philip Randolph, we understand
the importance of the sacrifice and courage that these men endured in their
lives. They strongly fought for equality of all people. We as a nation have reaped
the benefits of their hard work and commitment.
"Fighting for social justice, it seems to me, is one of the profounder ways in
which man can say yes to man's dignity, and that really means sacrifices. There
is no way on this earth in which you can say yes to man's dignity and know that
you' re going to be spared some sacrifice." Chavez, 1975
it is based on this principle that we are asking you to strongly consider the
request of the Committee to rename Grand River Avenue (commencing at
Oakland Street and ending at Pine Street and West Grand River Avenue) to
Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. Chavez sacrificed much, and we feel that it is time that
his dignity is honored.

Cesar E. Chavez Committee

Lansing, MI
Dear Committee Members:
It is my pleasure to support your efforts to have the City of Lansing adopt a measure that
will honor Cesar E. Chavez in a manner that pays tribute to him and reminds us of his
extraordinary life and how much he contributed to Lansing, to Michigan, and the nation.
Cesar E. Chavez was one of those extraordinary individuals who reminded the entire
nation about its core values, and through his actions, raised our humanity and that of the
people on whose behalf he advocated - farmworkers and their families.
Cesar Chavez focused the nation on the basic principles that we are all human and that
the poor and powerless must not be treated in subhuman ways just because those with
power and resources wish to do so as they pursue profits and wealth.
Frmmworkers and their families tend to and harvest the crops that feed the nation and the
world. These are hardworking honest people who, during his time, lived and labored,
and, in many cases still today, continue to live and labor in deplorable conditions on our
nation's farms. They experienced long hours in the fields without basic necessities,
such as shade from the hot sun, drinking water and toilets, often under the spray of
pesticides, and for exceptionally low wages.
JSR1 Cesar argued that these conditions robbed workers out of several years of life, with the
average life span of a farmworker during his day being as low as 49 years.
Cesar forced the nation to recognize the humanity of farmworkers and in the process
JULIAN SAMORA
RESEARCH forced us to confront our own humanity and the level of civilization which our nation
INSTITUTE had achieved or failed to achieve.
Michigan State University Importantly, he did this using non-violent methods. He, like others before him,

Phone: 517.432.1317
Fax: 517.432.2221
E•Mail: jsamorai@msu.edu Cesar Chavez is a symbol of our humanity; a reminder that all of us should work for a
wwwjsri.msu.edu
better society - that conspicuous consumption is not a virtue, and that our own lives
should not be based on the dehumanization of others.
This message is one that needs to be taught to our children and one that we must be
constantly reminded of if we are to stay the course in realizing a better, more just and
more humane society and world. The near collapse of our financial sector reminds us
that human nature has not changed much over the centuries, and that greed must be
overcome with values and principles that guide our behaviors.
Cesar Chavez could have led a vastly different life given his talents, but instead he
dedicated himself to improving the lives of one of the most vulnerable populations in
our society. In doing so he became the most recognized Latino leader.of the 20 th
Century.
For his achievements and contributions Cesar Chavez was nominated three times for the
Nobel Peace Prize by the American Friends Service Committee. In 1994, he was
awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President William Clinton, and in 2006,
he was inducted into the California Hall of Fame by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He has been recognized by organizations, cities, towns, and states across the country.
Sadly, Lansing, the capital city of Michigan, a state which has hosted millions of
farmworkers over the decades, and maintains a $4 billion industry with the support of
farmworkers, has not been willing nor found a way to pay tribute to this great man.
Cesar Chavez' courage was extraordinary, his commitment was extraordinary, and his
deeds and life were extraordinary. Lansing must find a way to celebrate both his life
and his contributions to Michigan and show the state and the nation that it, too, stands
for justice and equality for all.
Sincerely,
Lae--1m,

REPORT BY THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY
THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY met on Tuesday, August 24, 2010, to continue the
discussion on its proposed Manufactured Homes Ordinance, which would allow the City to
register manufactured homes as rentals and make safety inspections.
In response to concerns raised by residents of manufactured home communities regarding the

inability to enforce Housing Code regulations, the Committee began discussion on this issue two
years ago. At that time, we were informed that the Michigan Manufactured Housing Commission
was responsible for safety standards and the City had to defer to them for enforcement of safety
issues. In 2009, the Michigan Manufactured Housing Commissions working with the legislature
amended the State statute to allow local municipalities to inspect rental manufactured home units
for safety issues. Governor Granholm signed the legislation into law January 10, 2010, at which
time the City Attorney was asked to review the statute changes and draft an ordinance, which
would allow Code Compliance to conduct safety inspections to provide safe dwellings for those
who choose to rent mobile homes. The Committee began the discussion on. the ordinance
February 23, 2010. During the process of drafting an ordinance we worked with the City of
Lansing Building Safety and Code Compliance Offices, a number of issues came up and to this
date are unresolved.
e Some of the concerns of the Department included training for Code Officers based on the
National Manufactured Housing Construction Standards and where our employees could
obtain that training.
• The law requires the approval of the Lansing Housing and Premises Code by the
Michigan Manufactured Housing Commission, which must comport with the National
Manufactured Housing Construction Standards.
The Committee requested that the Building Safety Office compile a report detailing how the
proposed ordinance would be enforced, a cost estimate for training for Code Compliance
Officers, along with a plan to implement the amendment to the Mobile Home Commission Act 96
of 1987. The report outlining their findings is attached.
After reviewing the report in the Committee we came to the following conclusions:
✓ Based on the information and discussion with the Manger of Building Safety and Code
Compliance Office for the City of Lansing we cannot implement an ordinance to provide
safety inspections of rented manufactured homes.
❑ The State abdicated their responsibility to local municipalities without giving them the
tools which would allow them to enforce such an ordinance.
• The Committee on Public Safety and the staff deemed appropriate by the Manager of
Building Safety and Code Compliance conduct a meeting with the Michigan
Manufactured Housing Commission to discuss the short falls in the statue.
The safety of residents who choose to rent should not be based on whether they rent a single
family home, apartment, or mobile home. Many years ago the City of Lansing understood the
importance of having safe housing available for its residents and adopted Lansing Housing and
Premises Code; due to the loophole in the Mobile Home Act people who rent mobile homes in
Lansing cannot be assure that same level of safety. Mobile home occupants are twice as likely to
die from a fire as occupants of other one-or-two family residences according to HUD. This is
unacceptable, the U. S. Fire Administration states fires in manufactured homes claim the lives of
over 300 Americans each year and injure 700 more. Many of these fires cause by heating and
electrical systems malfunctions and improper storage of combustibles. Many of these are same
issues that today Lansing cannot inspect for.

Mgr. of Building Safety & Code Compliance
DATE: August 17, 2010
SUBJECT: Manufactured Homes Ordinance
The legislation allowing local units of government to register manufactured homes as rentals
and make "inspections for safety" was proposed in the legislature and was signed into law by
Gov. Granholm. This is an amendment to the Mobile Home Commission Act 96 of 1987. This
law became effective January 4, 2010. It is not a mandate. Municipalities may adopt an
Ordinance for this purpose.
The change to the Mobile Home Act states a local government may inspect mobile homes
rented to tenants by the owner for safety if the safety inspection ordinance applies to all other
rental housing within the local governmental unit. Inspections for safety shall not require
enforcement of any mobile home construction standards that are greater than those applicable
to the mobile home under the national manufactured housing construction and safety standards
act of 1974, 42 USC 5401 - 5426, or standards or codes to which the mobile home was
constructed if it was constructed before application of the national manufactured housing
construction and safety standards act of 1974.
Issues I see are noted below. They are consistent with comments made previously.
• This ordinance would not apply to all other rental units in the City of Lansing as required
by the law.
• The legislation states the construction standards cannot be greater than those applicable
under the national manufactured housing construction standards ar the codes to which
they were constructed if constructed before 1974. The published standards and codes
pertaining to manufactured housing are not available in this office. If a manufactured
unit was constructed in 1972, it would have to be inspected to the 1972 code and/or
standard to which it was constructed. This office has no knowledge as to where these
codes and/or standards can be obtained if at all..
• The proposed ordinance, along with the Lansing Housing and Premises Code, requires
submittal to the Manufactured Housing Commission for approval.
• The legislation does not contain language as to inspector qualifications. City of Lansing
Code Officers, Building and Trade Inspectors are not trained to inspect to the standards
required in the Act.
The City of Lansing Manufactured Housing Ordinance, as proposed, puts the

responsibility of inspection on the Office of Code Compliance. I am of the opinion that
Code Officers could do a general inspection, however, would not have the ability to cite
owners for non-compliance as they are not registered under Act 54 with the State of
Michigan.
• Part-time contract inspectors for building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing

inspections will be necessary. There will also be the cost of additional training to be
come knowledgeable in HUD requirements. This training may only be available out of
state.
• I propose waiting until a bulletin is issued by the Bureau of Construction Codes to

provide clarification regarding administration of this change.

Thank you so much for speaking with me this morning concerning the above captions facility. As
discussed, I am not able to sign off on this facility at this time as we have yet to receive a'food service
license application and approve plans. This department does not normally sign off on a facility until a
pre-opening inspection has taken place and the facility is approved to open and operate. However, we
have on occasion signed off on a Class C Application once the plan review process is complete and
approved so that construction can begin. I will be in contact with the applicant and inform him of the
situation and that I have contacted you concerning the issue.

Dear Chris:
Enclosed are two items that I want you to put on next week's City Council agenda, so that they will become a
part of the public record. The first document is a letter detailing the 29 TH Charter Violation I have filed since
Bernero to office as Mayor in 2006. The second document is a copy of a Freedom of Information request for a
detailed list of all City Council Committee meetings scheduled from January 1, through July 30, 2010. Please
note that I have also requested information regarding all cancelled committee meetings, as well as the
attendance records of each Council committee member for all committee meetings that actually occurred.
At City Council meetings on July 12 and again on August 16, I asked Jerry Ambrose for a phone number to alert
the people responsible for City TV if a City Council meeting replay--especially on the weekends-was not being
aired as it should, and to fix the replay for the viewing audience.
Thank you for your cooperation in these matters. It is greatly appreciated.

Dear Brigham:
Article 4 (Executive Branch), Chapter 1 (Mayor), Section 4-102.2 (Obligations of Leadership) states: "The
Mayor, or the Executive Assistant to the Mayor, shall attend all regular and special meetings of the City
Council to submit such reports and proposals to the City Council as are appropriate, and to respond to
questions of the Council members and citizens."
At City Council meetings on July 12 and again on August 16, I asked Jerry Ambrose for a phone number to alert
the people responsible for City TV if a City Council meeting replay--especially on the weekends-was not being
aired as it should, and to fix the replay for the viewing audience.
According to Article 1 (General), Chapter 5 (Penalties), Section 1-501 (Penalties for Violation of Charter):
"Any person found guilty of an act constituting a violation of this Charter may be punished by a fine not
exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment for not to exceed 90 days, or both...."
This is the 29th City Charter Violation I have filed since Virg took office in January, 2006. We, the People of
Lansing, demand justice and expect you to do your job as City Attorney for once in your life by enforcing the
City Charter, Lansing' s constitution.
