ORDINANCE NO.

EMERGENCY ORDINANCE IMPOSING A TElVIPORARY SIX-MONTH
MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW MASSAGE
BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY OF PONTIAC

THE CITY OF PONTIAC ORDAJNS:
Section 1. Findings.
The City Council finds that:
(a) The City possesses authority, subject to state and federal law, to regulate trades and
occupations within its boundaries and to prohibit activities detrimental to the health,
morals, or welfare of its inhabitants. MCL 117.4i.
(b) The City possesses the authority, under Article III, Section 3.112(f) of the City of Pontiac
Home Rule Charter, to adopt an emergency ordinance, so long as it contains a statement of
its urgency and is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property,
health, or safety.
•
(c) Article III, Section 3.112(:f) of the Charter enables an emergency ordinance to be adopted
on the day it is introduced. Publication prior to adoption is not required, and the emergency
ordinance may be given immediate effect after posting of a notice of adoption at City Hall
and three other public places in the City, as detennined by the City Clerk.
(d) The Michigan Public Health Code regulates the practice of massage therapy and defines
that practice as the application of structured touch, pressure, movement, and holding to the
soft tissue of the human body when the primary intent is to enhance or restore the health
and well-being of the client. MCL 333.17951.
(e) State law prohibits a local unit of government from establishing or maintaining local
licensing requirements for an individual massage therapist licensed under the Michigan
Public Health Code. MCL 333.17967.
(f) This ordinance is not intended to establish a municipal licensing requirement for individual
massage therapists, alter the qualifications for state licensure, or regulate the professional
practice of massage therapy.

(g) The Council has become aware of illegal sexual activity in multiple businesses throughout
Oakland County, in conjunction with the efforts of multiple Oakland County law
enforcement agencies.
(h) Ongoing investigations by law enforcement agencies have uncovered information
concerning unlawful commercial sexual activity throughout Oakland County and identified
conditions that pose an immediate threat to public safety.
(i) Emergency action is necessary for the immediate preservation ofthe public peace, property,
health, and safety, including protection against exploitation and unsafe premises, because
these 'threats cannot await the period required for ordinary ordinance adoption.

G) The City Council desires to review the City's existing ordinances, zoning regulations,
approval procedures, inspection standards, and enforcement remedies applicable to
businesses offering massage services.
(k) That review should consider lawful regulations addressing land use, location, occupancy,
building and fire safety, sanitation, inspections, hours of operation, responsible ownership
and management, verification of required state professional licenses, nuisance abatement,
and unlawful conduct, without conflicting with state law.
(I) Accepting, processing, inspecting, or approving new massage businesses under the existing
regulatory :framework during that review could permit new establishments to open before
the City completes its study and considers appropriate regulations.
(m) A temporary and uniformly applied six-month moratorium is reasonably necessary to
preserve the status quo, protect the public health, safety, and welfare, and provide sufficient
time for a diligent review and legislative process.
(n) Temporary land-use moratoria of fixed duration, undertaken diligently and in good faith to
permit governmental review, are distinguishable from permanent restrictions on the use of
property. Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council, Inc. v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 535
U.S. 302, 333 (2002).
(o) Under Michigan law, an applicant generally does not acquire a vested right merely by
applying for a permit that has not been issued, and a protected nonconforming use
ordinarily requires substantial construction manifested by a tangible change in the land
rather than plans, expenditures, or preliminary preparations alone. Bevan v. Brandon
Township, 438 Mich. 385,402 (1991).
(p) The City Council intends this moratorium to apply to pending and future applications
involving new massage businesses, including requests for preoccupancy inspections or
occupancy approval, except where an applicant establishes a vested right protected by law
or qualifies for administrative relief under this ordinance.

(q) The City requires a limited period to review the regulations and procedures applicable to
businesses offering massage services.
(r) The review must distinguish between the State's licensing of individual massage therapists
and the City's lawful regulation of land use, business premises, occupancy, nuisance
conditions, and operational matters affecting public health, safety, and welfare.
(s)

Processing or approving new massage businesses during the review could frustrate the
City's ability to preserve the status quo and adopt uniform and legally compliant standards.

(t) A six-month moratorium is a reasonable and proportionate interim measure, provided the
City proceeds diligently and in good faith.

Section 2. Definitions.
For purposes of this ordinance:
(a) "Massage Business" means an establishment, enterprise, facility, or premises at which
massage therapy, bodywork, or services represented as massage or similar structured
touching of the soft tissues of the human body are offered, advertised, administered, or
performed for compensation as a principal or material part of the business. The term
includes a massage parlor as defined in Section 26-761 of the City Code, and a myotherapy
establishment and a personal service establishment offering therapeutic massage as defmed
in Section 7.202 of the City of Pontiac Zoning Ordinance.
(b) "Massage Parlor" means any building, room, place, or establishment, other than a regularly
licensed hospital or dispensary, where nonmedical and nonsurgical manipulative exercises
are practiced upon the human body for purposes other than cosmetic or beautifying
purposes, with or without the use of mechanical or bathing devices, by a person who is not
a physician, surgeon, or other similarly registered medical professional, as defined in
Section 26-761 of the City Code.
(c) "Adult Massage Parlor" means any place where, for any form of consideration or gratuity,
massage, alcohol rub, administration of fomentations, electric or magnetic treatments, or
any other manipulation of the human body occurs as part of or in connection with specified
sexual activities, or where any person providing such treatment, manipulation, or related
service exposes his or her specified anatomical areas. An Adult Massage Parlor, in contrast
to a Myotherapy Establishment, is considered a sexually oriented business for purposes of
these regulations, as defined in Section 7.202(BB)(4) of the City of Pontiac Zoning
Ordinance.
(d) "Massage Business" does not include a hospital, nursing home, or other state-licensed
health-care facility; the office of a state-licensed health professional providing services
within the professional's lawful scope of practice; or another establishment in which limited
massage services are incidental to the principal lawful use, as determined by the Director

of Community Development, or his or her designee. A person or establishment exempt
under Section 26-762 of the City Code is not a Massage Business.
(e) "New Massage Business" means a Massage Business that, before the effective date of this
ordinance:
(i) Was not lawfully open and operating at the specific premises;
(ii) Had not received every fmal City approval required to occupy the premises and
conduct the proposed business; or
(iii) Seeks to relocate, expand its approved floor or service area, materially increase the
nature or intensity of its operations, or resume operations after abandonment or loss
of lawful status.
(f) "Pending Application" means any application, request, or proceeding that had not received
final and unconditional City approval before the effective date of this ordinance, including
a request for zoning approval, site-plan approval, special approval, variance, building or
trade permit, change-of-use approval, preoccupancy inspection, certificate of occupancy,
temporary certificate of occupancy, or other authorization necessary to establish, open,
occupy, operate, relocate, or expand a New Massage Business.
Section 3. Moratorium imposed.

Beginning on the effective date of this ordinance, the City imposes a temporary moratorium on the
establishment, location, permitting, review, consideration, approval, construction, preoccupancy
inspection, occupancy approval, opening, operation, relocation, or expansion of any New Massage
Business within the City of Pontiac.
Section 4. Applications, inspections, and approvals.

During the moratorium:
(a) No City department, board, commission, official, employee, or agent shall accept or
approve a new application for a New Massage Business.
(b) Except as necessary to determine whether an exemption or relief applies, the City shall not
process, review, hear, inspect, or issue a decision on a Pending Application for a New
Massage Business.
(c) No preoccupancy inspection, final occupancy inspection, certificate of occupancy,
temporary certificate of occupancy, business approval, including a massage parlor license
under Section 26-764 of the City Code, or other authorization shall be scheduled,
conducted, completed, or issued for the purpose of allowing a New Massage Business to
open or operate.

(d) No person shall commence construction, renovation, installation, alteration, or a change in
use or occupancy for the purpose of establishing, relocating, or expanding a New Massage
Business.
(e) No person shall open, commence operating, relocate, or expand a New Massage Business
within the City.
(f)

A Pending Application subject to this ordinance shall be held in abeyance until the
moratorium expires or is terminated, unless the application is withdrawn, denied on an
independent lawful ground, or granted relief under Section 7.

Section 5. Pending preoccupancy inspections.

The moratorium expressly applies to each pending or incomplete request for a preoccupancy
inspection associated with a New Massage Business. The filing of an application, payment of a
fee, execution of a lease, preparation of plans, purchase of equipment, performance of preparatory
work, or expenditure of funds does not, standing alone, exempt an applicant from the moratorium.
Section 6. Existing massage businesses.

(a) This ordinance does not require the closure of a Massage Business that was lawfully open
and operating at the same premises before the effective date of this ordinance and remains
in compliance with applicable law.
(b) A lawfully existing Massage Business may undertake ordinary repair and maintenance that
does not expand its approved premises, increase its approved occupancy, materially
intensify its operations, or require approval of a new or expanded use.
(c) This ordinance does not authorize the continuation of an unlawful use, nuisance, code
violation, unlicensed professional activity, or other prohibited conduct. Existing Massage
Businesses remain subject to inspections and enforcement otherwise authorized by law.
Section 7. Vested rights and :lldministrative relief.

(a) This ordinance shall not be applied to impair a vested right protected by federal or Michigan
law. A person claiming a vested right or other legal entitlement to proceed bears the burden
of submitting documentation supporting that claim.
(b) A request for exemption or administrative relief shall be submitted in writing to the Building
Safety Division, 47450 Woodward Avenue, Pontiac, Michigan 48342, (248) 758-2800, and
shall identify the property, proposed use, permits and approvals issued, work completed,
basis for the claimed vested right or hardship, and requested relief.
(c) After consultation with the City Attorney and relevant City departments, the Director of
Community Development shall issue a written determination granting, denying, or
conditionally granting the request.

(d) In determining whether a vested right exists, the City shall apply Michigan law, including
the principle that an approved plan, contemplated use, pending permit application,
expenditure, or preliminary work does not alone establish a vested right and that actual,
substantial construction ordinarily must have commenced. Schubiner v. West Bloomfield
Township, 133 Mich. App. 490,501 (1984).
(e) A person aggrieved by the determination may appeal in writing to the City Council within
14 calendar days after service of the determination.
(f) The City Council may grant narrowly tailored relief if it determines that:
(i) Application of the moratorium would impair a vested right protected by law;
(ii) The proposed activity falls outside the scope of the moratorium;
(iii) The applicant would experience a unique and substantial hardship not shared by
similarly situated applicants, and relief would not undermine the purposes of the
moratorium; or
(iv) Relief is required by federal or state law.
(g) Relief may be conditioned on compliance with applicable law and reasonable measures
necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare. A request or appeal does not stay
the moratorium unless the City Council orders otherwise.
Section 8. State-licensed massage therapists.

(a) Nothing in this ordinance establishes or maintains a City licensing requirement for an
individual massage therapist licensed under the Michigan Public Health Code.
(b) Nothing in this ordinance suspends, revokes, limits, or adjudicates a professional license
issued by the State of Michigan or imposes additional professional education, examination,
competency, or continuing-education requirements.
(c) The moratorium regulates the establishment, use, occupancy, premises, and operation of
New Massage Businesses. Possession of a state professional license does not excuse
compliance with otherwise applicable zoning, building, fire, occupancy, nuisance, and
premises requirements.
Section 9. City review and proposed regulations.

During the moratorium, City staff, in consultation with the City Attorney, Planning Commission,
law-enforcement officials, fire officials, building officials, code-enforcement personnel, and other
appropriate agencies or consultants, shall diligently review the regulation of Massage Businesses
and prepare recommendations concerning:
(a) Appropriate definitions and exemptions consistent with state law;

(b) Zoning districts, approval procedures, and location or compatibility standards;
(c) Building, fire, occupancy, sanitation, safety, security, maintenance, and lawful
inspection requirements;
(d) Hours of operation and identification of responsible owners, operators, and on-site
managers;
(e) Procedures for verifying required state professional licenses without creating a
separate municipal license for individual massage therapists;
(f) Prevention and abatement of nuisances, unlawful conduct, and conditions
detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare; and
(g) Appropriate amendments to the City's Code of Ordinances, including Chapter 26,
Article XV (Massage Parlors), the Zoning Ordinance, including Sections 2.508 and
7.202, and administrative procedures.
'
The City Administration shall present proposed recommendations to the City Council sufficiently
before expiration of the moratorium to permit required review, notice, public hearings,
consideration, publication, and implementation.
Section 10. Duration and extension.

This moratorium shall remain in effect for six months beginning on the effective date of this
ordinance, and shall expire at 11 :59 p.m. on the date six months after the effective date, unless
earlier terminated by the City Council. The City Council may extend the moratorium by ordinance
only upon findings that City officials have proceeded diligently and in good faith, additional time
is reasonably necessary to complete identified review or legislative procedures, and any extension
is limited to the period reasonably necessary to complete those procedures.
Section 11. Uniform administration and enforcement.

(a) The City shall administer this ordinance uniformly and without unlawful discrimination.
(b) Any establishment, construction, opening, operation, relocation, or expansion undertaken
in violation of this ordinance is prohibited.
(c) The City may pursue any lawful administrative, civil, equitable, or other remedy available
under the City Charter, the City Code of Ordinances, the Zoning Ordinance, or state law.
(d) No permit, inspection, certificate, approval, or authorization issued contrary to this
ordinance shall confer aright to establish, open, occupy, operate, relocate, or expand a New
Massage Business.

(e) Acceptance of materials or fees, preliminary review, staff communications, or other
ministerial activity does not constitute final approval, create a vested right, or authorize a
New Massage Business to open or operate during the moratorium.
Section 12. Construction and severability.
This ordinance shall be construed narrowly to accomplish its temporary purpose while preserving
rights protected by federal and state law. If any provision or application of this ordinance is held
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions and
applications shall remain effective to the greatest extent permitted by law. This ordinance is a
temporary ordinance and shall not be codified in the City of Pontiac Code of Ordinances.
Section 13. Emergency clause, effective date, and distribution.
(a) For the reasons stated in Section l(g) through (i), the City Council finds and declares that
an emergency exists and that this ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, property, health, and safety of the City of Pontiac.
(b) This ordinance is adopted as an emergency ordinance under Section 3. l 12(t) of the City of
Pontiac Home Rule Charter, on the day of its introduction, by the affirmative vote of not less
than two-thirds of the Council members serving.
(c) This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon the posting of a notice of its adoption at
City Hall and at three other public places in the City, as determined by the City Clerk, who shall
maintain a record of the posting locations. The ordinance was posted at the Bowens Senior
Center, Ruth Peterson Senior Center and Frost Recreation Center on October 21, 2026.
Therefore, the Ordinance is effective October 21, 2026. The City Clerk shall publish this
ordinance once after its adoption in a newspaper of general circulation in the City as required
by Section 3.112(h) of the Charter.
( d) The City Clerk shall promptly distribute this ordinance to the Mayor, City Administrator,
City Attorney, Planning and Zoning Division, Building Safety Division, Fire Department, Code
Enforcement Division, law-enforcement officials, and all other City departments responsible
for matters subject to the moratorium.

CITY OF PONTIAC RESOLUTION
Recognizing November 11 as
Veterans Day in the City of Pontiac
Whereas, it is with sincere gratitude that the Pontiac City Council recognizes November
11, the anniversary of the ending of World War I, by paying tribute to the heroes of that
tragic struggle and remembering those who have served the United States miliary; and,
Whereas, in the intervening year, the United States has been involved in subsequent
military conflicts, which have added millions of veterans living and dead to the honor
rolls of this Nation; and,
Whereas, Congress passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1928 (44 Stat. 1962), calling
for the observance of November 11 with appropriate ceremonies, and later provided in
an act approve May 13, 1938 (52 Stat. 351), that the eleventh of November should be a
legal holiday and was then commonly known as Armistice Day; and,
Whereas, in order to expand the significance of that commemoration and in order that
a grateful nation might pay appropriate tribute to the veterans of all wars who have
contributed so much to the preservation of this Nation, the Congress, by an act approved
June 1, 1954 (68 Stat. 168), changed the name of the holiday to Veterans Day; and,
Whereas, many residents of Pontiac have served the United States in the military; now,
Therefore, Be It Resolved, the Pontiac City Council, in partnership with Mayor Mike
McGuinness, hereby recognizes November 11, 2026 as Veterans Day in the City of
Pontiac and city facilities will be closed in observance of the day; and further
Resolved, the City Council calls upon the citizens of Pontiac to observe November 11 as
Veterans Day and, on that day, are invited to participate in the civic parade and to
remember the sacrifices of those who fought so courageously on the seas, in the air, and
on foreign shores to preserve our freedom and let us commit ourselves to the task of
promoting an enduring peace, so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.

departments and administrative offices, including, but not limited to, the Finance Department, Community
Development Department, Department of Public Works, and Executive Office. Over the course of the City's

RE:

First Reading of First Reading of Ordinance Amendment of The Pontiac Municipal
Code Article II Section 58-37 (Nuisance Conditions Enumerated) and creating Article
X (Golf Ball Containment and Public Safety) Section 58-800 et al.

Presented for the City Council's consideration and first reading is an ordinance amending
Chapter 58 (Environment) of the Pontiac Municipal Code to address the public-safety hazard
created when golf balls leave a golf facility and strike or endanger persons and property on
adjacent property and public rights-of-way, a hazard the City's existing regulations do not
specifically address. The ordinance is generally applicable and applies to every golf facility in
the City.
The amended ordinance does two things. First, it amends Section 58-37 (Nuisance Conditions
Enumerated) by adding a new subsection (14), declaring that hard projectiles, including golf
balls, that endanger the public health, safety, and welfare are a nuisance. This places such
projectiles within the City's existing nuisance provisions under Chapter 58, Article II, and
makes available the notice, abatement, inspection, and cost-recovery procedures already
provided in that Article.
Second, it adds a new Article X to Chapter 58, the Golf Ball Containment and Public Safety
Ordinance, which establishes an operational duty to keep golf balls within the facility,
a containment-plan requirement, a right of inspection, written notice and an opportunity to cure
with an appeal to the City Council, and enforcement by municipal civil infraction together with
nuisance abatement.
The ordinance regulates the manner in which a golf facility is operated and does not prohibit the
lawful use of land as a golf course or driving range.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the first reading of the ordinance.

STATE OF MICIDGAN
COUNTY OF OAKLAND
CITY OF PONTIAC
ORDINANCE NO. - - - - AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 58 (ENVIRONMENT) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
OF PONTIAC, MICIDGAN BY ADDING ARTICLE X, "GOLF BALL CONTAINMENT AND
PUBLIC SAFETY"(§§ 58-800 ET SEQ.), TO REQUIRE CONTAINMENT OF ERRANT GOLF
BALLS AND PROVIDE FOR ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES.
THE CITY OF PONTIAC ORDAINS:
Chapter 58 (Environment) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Pontiac is amended by adding Article X, to
read as follows:

ARTICLE X. GOLF BALL CONTAINMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY -NUISANCE ABATEMENT
Preamble and Legislative Findings
The City Council of the City of Pontiac finds and declares:
'A, The City of Pontiac is a home-rule city organized under the Home Rule City Act, MCL 117.1 et seq., and
possesses broad authority under Const 1963, art 7, § 22 and MCL 1l 7.4j to adopt ordinances to provide for
the public peace, health, safety, and welfare and for the protection of persons and property.
B. A golf ball driven from a golf course or driving range is a hard projectile capable of traveling several
hundred feet at high velocity; Michigan courts have long recognized that a powerfully driven golf ball in
flight is a projectile capable of inflicting serious bodily injury and significant property damage.
C. The City has received repeated complaints from residents whose homes, vehicles, and persons have been
struck or endangered by golf balls leaving a golf facility and entering adjacent residential property, public
rights-of-way, and other areas lawfully occupied by the public.
D. Existing City regulations do not specifically address the recurring public-safety hazard created when golf
balls leave a golf facility and strike persons or property beyond its boundaries, and a clear operational
standard is necessary to abate that hazard.
E. This Article is enacted under the City's police power as a generally applicable public-safety and nuisance
regulation. It regulates the manner of operation of golf facilities to abate a demonstrated safety hazard; it
does not prohibit, and is not intended to prohibit, the lawful use of land as a golf course or driving range.
It applies to all golf facilities within the City regardless of the date a facility was established.

§ 58-800. Short Title.
This Article shall be known and may be cited as the "Golf Ball Containment and Public Safety Ordinance."

§ 58-801. Purpose.
The purpose of this Article is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by requiring operators of golf
facilities to take reasonable measures to prevent golf balls from leaving the facility and striking or endangering
persons, vehicles, buildings, other property, or public rights-of-way beyond the facility's boundaries, and to
provide the City with inspection and enforcement authority to abate such hazards.

§ 58-802. Definitions.
For purposes of this Article, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings set forth below. Words
not defined have their ordinary meaning.

(a) "Adjacent property" means any real property, right-of-way, street, sidewalk, or other area not part of the
golf facility, including residential property abutting or in the vicinity of the facility.

(b) "Containment measures" means physical or operational measures reasonably designed to keep golf balls
within a golf facility, including but not limited to barrier netting, fencing, poles and support structures,
berms, landscaping and vegetative buffers (including the retention of existing trees), reconfiguration or
reorientation of tees, fairways, greens, or driving-range positions, relocation of play, and restrictions on the
manner, direction, or hours of play.

(c) "Enforcement Officer" means the Director of Code Enforcement, or their authorized designee, and
includes any other person designated in writing by the City to administer and enforce this Article.

(d) "Director" means the Director of Department of Public Works, or their authorized designee, and includes
any other person designated in writing by the City to administer and enforce this Article.

(e) "Errant golf ball" means a golf ball that leaves the boundaries of a golf facility as a result of play or
practice at the facility.

(t) "Golf facility" means any golf course, executive or par-3 course, or golf driving range operated within the
City, whether public or private and whether or not operated for profit, together with its tees, fairways,
greens, and practice areas.

(g) "Operator" means any person who owns, leases, manages, or operates a golf facility. The owner and the
operator are jointly and severally responsible for compliance.

(h) "Verified incident" means an incident of one or more errant golf balls leaving a golf facility and striking
or endangering persons or property on adjacent property that (i) the Enforcement Officer determines, by a
preponderance of the evidence and in a written determination, more likely than not occurred and originated
from the facility; or (ii) is established by an admission of responsibility or a finding of responsibility by a
court or administrative hearing body. Before counting a disputed incident, the Enforcement Officer shall
give the Operator the material information and a reasonable opportunity of at least ten (10) business days
to respond.
§ 58-803. General Standard; Prohibited Condition; Nuisance.

(a) An Operator shall develop, operate, and maintain its golf facility so that golf balls driven, hit, or propelled
in the ordinary course of play or practice do not repeatedly leave the facility and strike or endanger persons,
vehicles, buildings, other property, or public rights-of-way on adjacent property.

(b) A pattern of errant golf balls leaving a golf facility and striking or endangering persons or property on
adjacent property is declared to be a condition dangerous to the public health and safety and a public
nuisance, and is prohibited.

(c) It shall be a violation of this Article for an Operator to cause, permit, or maintain such a condition, or to
fail to comply with a containment plan or order issued lU1der this Article.

§ 58-804. Containment Measures; Maintenance.
(a) An Operator shall employ containment measures sufficient to comply with § 58-803. The selection of
measures shall be reasonably related to the location, severity, and frequency of errant golf balls and to site
conditions.

(b) Any containment measure required, approved, or installed under this Article, and any containment
measure existing as of the effective date of this Article, shall be maintained in good condition and repair
and shall not be reduced, removed, or allowed to deteriorate without the prior written approval of the

Director. The removal of trees or other vegetative buffer that materially increases the escape of golf balls
onto adjacent property is a violation of this Article.
§ 58-805. Containment Plan for Existing Facilities.

(a) Trigger. Upon the occurrence of three (3) or more verified incidents of errant golf balls striking or
endangering persons or property on adjacent property within any twelve (12)-month period, or upon the
Director's written determination that a recurring hazard exists, the City may issue a written notice requiring
the Operator to submit a Containment Plan.

(b) Submission. The Operator shall submit a Containment Plan within forty-five (45) days after service of
the notice. The Plan shall identify the holes, tees, fairways, driving-range positions, or practice areas
generating errant golf balls and the containment measures the Operator will implement to comply with §
58-803, together with a schedule for installation, implementation, and maintenance. On written request
submitted before the deadline, the Director may grant a reasonable extension for good cause, including the
need to retain a qualified professional, obtain site information, or address seasonal conditions.

(c) Trajectory study. The Director may require the Containment Plan to be supported by a ball-flight or balldispersion study prepared, at the Operator's expense, by a licensed professional engineer or a qualified
golf-course design professional, illustrating expected trajectories where the facility is adjacent to residential
uses, buildings, parking areas, or public rights-of-way. The City may obtain an independent professional
review of the study at the Operator's expense, and shall provide the Operator a copy and a reasonable
opportunity to respond before relying on that review in a final decision.

(d) Review and implementation. The Director shall approve, approve with conditions, or reject the Plan
within thirty (30) days after receiving a complete submission. If the Plan is rejected, the Director shall state
the reasons in writing, and the Operator shall submit a revised Plan within twenty (20) days. Upon approval,
the Operator shall implement the Plan within ninety (90) days, weather permitting, or on another schedule
approved in writing by the Director. For technical review of a containment plan or ball flight and dispersion
study, the Director may rely on a licensed professional engineer or other qualified personnel.

(e) Interim Safeguards. Pending full implementation, the Enforcement Officer may require reasonable
interim safeguards, including temporary barriers or temporary restrictions on the direction, manner, or
hours of play, where necessary to protect persons or property from errant golf balls.

§ 58-806. New and Expanded Facilities.
(a) Application of operational duty. The operational duty in §§ 58-803 and 58-804 applies to every golf
facility operating in the City, including any new golf facility and any expansion, reconstruction,
reconfiguration, or substantial modification of an existing facility, regardless of the date the facility or
change was established.

(b) Containment plan before operation. No new golf facility, and no expansion or substantial modification
of an existing facility that increases the likelihood of golf balls leaving the premises, shall commence
operation until the Operator has submitted, and the Director has approved, a Containment Plan
demonstrating compliance with§ 58-803. Section 58-805(c)-(d) governs the ball-flight study, review, and
implementation of such a plan. This is a public-safety operating requirement admini~tered under this
Article, independent of and in addition to any land-use, site-plan, or special-exception approval that may
separately be required under the Zoning Ordinance.

§ 58-807. Right of Inspection.
The Enforcement Officer may inspect a golf facility to determine compliance with this Article upon consent,
upon observation of conditions in plain view or from adjacent property or public ways, or pursuant to an
administrative search warrant or other process authorized by law, upon reasonable notice to the Operator.

§ 58-808. Notice, Opportunity to Cure, and Appeal.
(a) Except where an imminent danger to public safety requires immediate action, the City shall provide the
Operator written notice of a violation and a reasonable opportunity to cure before issuing a civil infraction
citation or commencing abatement.

(b) An Operator aggrieved by an order or determination issued under this Article, including a recurring-hazard
determination, a containment-plan decision, or a corrective order, may appeal within twenty-one (21) days
after service of the order or determination, to the City Council, which shall provide the Operator an
opportunity to be heard and shall issue a written decision. This subsection governs administrative appeals
only; a municipal civil infraction citation issued under this Article is separately adjudicated in the 50th
District Court. This Section is intended to afford the Operator due process oflaw.

§ 58-809. Enforcement; Penalties; Remedies.
(a) Municipal civil infraction. A violation of this Article is a municipal civil infraction under MCL 600.8701
et seq. and Chapter 86 of the Code. The civil fme shall be not less than $500.00 for a first violation and not
less than $1,000.00 for a second or subsequent violation, plus costs and other sanctions authorized by law.
Each day a violation continues constitutes a separate offense.

(b) Nuisance abatement; injunction. A violation is declared a nuisance per se. In addition to any other
remedy, the City may commence an action in the Oakland County Circuit Court under MCL 600.2940 and
the common law to abate the nuisance and to enjoin the condition, including an order requiring the
installation and maintenance of containment measures.

(c) Cumulative remedies. The remedies in this Article are cumulative and in addition to any other remedy
available at law or in equity. Nothing in this Article limits the right of any private person to pursue remedies
against an Operator.

§ 58-810. Severability.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Article is held invalid or unconstitutional by a court
of competent jurisdiction, that holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions, which shall remain
in full force and effect.

§ 58-811. Repeal of Conflicting Ordinances.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this Article are repealed to the extent of the conflict.

§ 58-812. Effective Date.
This Ordinance shall take effect ten (10) days after adoption and not less than ten (10) business days after
publication, whichever is later, as provided by §§ 3.112 and 6.403 of the City Charter, and subject to the
referendum provisions of§ 6.403 of the Charter.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, based on the record, the City Council finds that:

(1) the Use will not be contrary to the public interest or injurious to nearby properties or
the community as a whole, and the spirit and intent of the Zoning Ordinance will be
observed, because the Use will be conducted indoors, during daytime hours, under staff
supervision, with no overnight accommodation;
(2) the Use will not enlarge or encourage the development of an inappropriately large
community service facility cluster, because it occupies an existing building without
expansion and adds no shelter beds, halfway house, substance abuse rehabilitation center,
or adult foster care facility to the area;
(3) the establishment of the Use in the area will not be contrary to any program of
neighborhood conservation; and
(4) all other applicable regulations of the Zoning Ordinance will be observed; and further
RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby grants the Applicant a waiver from the separation
requirements of Section 2.523(C) of the Zoning Ordinance, to the extent such a waiver is required,
for the Use at the Property; and further
RESOLVED, that this waiver applies only to the Use at the Property, does not relieve the
Applicant of any other permit, inspection, or approval required by the City.

OVERVIEW
The Department of Public Works requests City Council approval of service contracts with
Dynamic Glazing Systems, Inc. and Walker Wren Investments LLC under RFP No. 2026-RFPO172. The contracts cover repair, replacement, maintenance, and related services on an as-needed
basis for facilities under the City's ownership and operational responsibilities. The work includes
cracked or broken windows and glass, damaged or malfunctioning doors, pedestrian doors,

overhead doors, storefront systems, hollow metal doors and frames, automatic door operators,
glazing systems, and related hardware.
The Department of Public Works recommends awarding contracts to two qualified vendors to
ensure reliable and timely service. Window and door repairs are frequently unscheduled, and
damaged glazing or inoperable doors can compromise the security of City facilities, create hazards
for employees and the public, and expose buildings to weather damage. The RFP establishes
response standards of two hours for emergency requests and 24 hours for urgent requests.
Maintaining two vendors provides the City with additional capacity when one vendor is
unavailable or when service is needed at multiple facilities at the same time. It also gives the
Department flexibility to assign work in the most cost-effective manner. Awarding two contracts
does not increase total spending, because both contracts are subject to a single combined not-toexceed amount.
Four firms submitted proposals. A three-member panel evaluated each proposal on company
background and experience; pricing, rate structure, and overall value to the City; and safety, quality
control, and documentation procedures. The panel rated Dynamic Glazing Systems, Inc. and
Walker Wren Investments, LLC. highest, and the Department recommends both firms for award.
The contracts carry an initial three-year term. Combined spending under both contracts may not
exceed $50,000 per year, or $150,000 over the initial term. This is a single limit shared by both
vendors, not $50,000 for each. Work will be issued by written task order or purchase order, no
minimum amount of work is guaranteed, and work will be assigned between the two vendors based
on availability. Funding is budgeted through GL No. 445-265-976.001.

3. Please upload your firm's certificate of insurance here.*
Certificate_of_\nsurance_-_Sample.pdf

4. Describe your firm's experience repairing and replacing glass and glazing systems, hollow metal doors & steel doors. *
DGS is a Detroit-based commercial glazing contractor established in 2005. Its core capabilities include commercial glass
and glazing, storefronts, curtain walls, windows, aluminum entrances, doors, door and window hardware, brake metal,
mirrors, skylights and guardrail systems. DGS has performed work nationwide, with a recent focus on Southeast
Michigan.
For service and replacement work, DGS verifies existing conditions and field dimensions; identifies compatible glass,
framing, hardware and sealant systems; protects occupied areas; removes failed components; installs new
commercial-grade materials in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable codes; and tests operation,
alignment, latching, weather seals and accessibility-related functions before closeout.
DGS self-performs its core glass, glazing, storefront and entrance work. Hollow-metal, steel-door, overhead-door,
automatic-operator and related specialty scopes are performed by qualified DGS personnel or coordinated with properly
qualified specialty subcontractors when the task requires trade-specific licensing, manufacturer authorization or
equipment. DGS remains responsible for coordination, safety, quality and final acceptance.

5. Identify the proposed project manager and describe their qualifications and relevant experience.*
Proposed Project Manager: Nathan Humphries, Project Manager. Nathan Humphries is identified on DGS's current team
roster as a Project Manager and will serve as the primary operational point of contact, subject to final internal assignment
at contract commencement. Erik Wordhouse, Operations Manager, will provide operations oversight and escalation
support.
The Project Manager will receive and prioritize City requests; coordinate scheduling, access and shutdowns; assign
qualified DGS personnel and specialty subcontractors; monitor response times; review field findings and estimates;
coordinate with other trades; obtain City authorization for material scope or cost changes; and oversee safety, quality,
service documentation and closeout.

6. Describe your process for receiving, prioritizing, dispatching, and completing routine, urgent, and emergency service requests.*
DGS will use a centralized service-request process. Requests from authorized City personnel will be logged with the
facility, City contact, reported condition, requested priority, access requirements, authorization or purchase-order
information and known safety, security or operational concerns. The Project Manager or designated operations
representative will confirm receipt, classify priority, assign resources and communicate the planned response.
• Emergency: on-site response within 2 hours unless the City approves otherwise. Immediate hazards will be stabilized
through board-up, temporary securing, temporary glazing or weather protection as required.
• Urgent: on-site response within 24 hours for operational failures affecting access, security or weather protection.
• Routine: inspection or service within 3 to 5 business days for planned adjustments, replacements and non-critical
repairs.
After the initial response, DGS will document conditions, obtain field measurements, determine the permanent repair,
prepare recommendations and pricing when required, and obtain City approval before exceeding authorized amounts or
materially changing scope. Completed work will be inspected, functionally tested, cleaned and closed out with service reports,
photographs when requested, itemized invoices and warranty documentation.

7. Describe your quality control procedures used to ensure repairs and installations are completed correctly the first time.*
Quality control begins before installation. The Project Manager and field personnel verify the authorized scope, existing
conditions, dimensions, required materials and hardware, component compatibility, manufacturer requirements and
applicable code requirements. An initial condition assessment identifies concealed damage, framing deficiencies,

anchorage issues, failed sealants or hardware conditions before they create rework.
In-process inspection points include dimensions and alignment; anchorage and fasteners; glass type and fit; gaskets,
setting blocks and sealants; door clearances; hinges and pivots; closers; panic and exit hardware; locking and latching;
weather seals; thresholds and other applicable components. For repetitive work, DGS verifies the first completed
installation before repeating the procedure.
Before release, the technician or foreperson performs a final inspection and functional test. Doors are cycled and checked
for opening, closing, latching and alignment; hardware is tested; glazing is inspected for fit and seal; and the surrounding
area is checked for damage, debris or incomplete work. Nonconforming conditions are corrected before closeout, and the
Project Manager reviews field reports, photographs and unresolved items before the work order is closed.

8. Please describe your firm's safety and quality control procedures as it relates to this RFP. *
DGS maintains a written safety program based on Ml OSHA/OSHA requirements, hazard identification, pre-task planning,
competent supervision, employee training, appropriate PPE, equipment inspections, incident reporting, corrective action
and management accountability.
Before work begins, the crew evaluates site-specific hazards and establishes controls appropriate to the task. Controls
may include a job-hazard or pre-task plan, restricted work zones, pedestrian barricades, cut-resistant gloves and eye
protection, safe glass handling and transport, fall protection, ladder and lift inspections, lockout/tagout, electrical
precautions, overhead-door controls and material-handling procedures.
At occupied public facilities, DGS will maintain safe access routes, prevent exposure to broken glass or unsecured
openings, coordinate temporary closures, keep work areas orderly and remove debris daily. Employees are expected to
stop work when an uncontrolled unsafe condition is identified. Safety and quality reviews are integrated through field
verification, in-process inspection, operational testing, documentation and prompt correction of deficiencies.

9. Provide the owner information. Include the firm's name, address, primary telephone, and email address. Identify authoritzed
signer(s) for the organization.*

10. Explain your process for coordinating work with City personnel, security vendors, access control providers, fire alarm contractors,
and other trades.*
DGS will use a single-point-of-contact approach through the Project Manager or designated operations representative.
DGS will coordinate scheduling, site access, building operations, security requirements, work-area restrictions,
shutdowns and sequencing with the City's designated personnel.
Before work begins, DGS will confirm the authorized scope, facility contact, access requirements, public and security
considerations, other affected contractors, required shutdowns or temporary measures, and responsibility for
disconnecting and reconnecting electrical, access-control, automatic-door, fire-alarm or other specialty systems. Where
multiple trades are involved, DGS will establish the sequence and use joint field verification when appropriate.
Following repairs, DGS will coordinate functional testing with the City and affected specialty contractors to confirm that
doors, hardware, automatic operators, access-control components and related systems have been restored to service.

11. Provide a brief history of the firm, years in business, firm size, and organizational chart.*
DGS is a privately owned commercial glazing contractor headquartered in Detroit. The company was established in April
2005 and has approximately 21 years of continuous industry experience. Current public company profiles place DGS in
the 11-50 employee range. Project staffing is scaled to each task order using qualified project management, field and specialty

12. Financial Stability, Bonding & Contractor Responsibility*

Describe the firm's financial capacity and bonding capability to successfully complete the project, disclose any debarments,
suspensions, wage and hour violations, prevailing wage violations, OSHA willful violations, or unresolved labor findings within the past
five years, and identify participation in any USDOL- or State-approved Registered Apprenticeship Program or other workforce
development initiative.
DGS has operated continuously since 2005 and reports annual revenue of approximately $3.3 million in 2023, $3.3 million
in 2024 and $7.2 million in 2025, for an approximately $4.6 million three-year average. The 2025 increase reflects
completion of two large contracts in addition to ongoing service work and demonstrates the ability to scale staffing and
resources.
West Bend Insurance Company currently supports bonding limits of $1,500,000 for a single job and $2,000,000
aggregate, subject to annual underwriting and satisfactory review of the construction agreement. West Bend is listed on
U.S. Treasury Circular 570 and is rated A, Financial Size Class XIV by A.M. Best. The supporting letter is included as
Appendix C.

[DYNAMIC GLAZING SYSTEMS, INC.] RESPONSE DOCUMENT REPORT
RFO/RFP No. 2026-RFP-0172
As-Needed Door Repair, Replacement and Glazing System Repairs

Within the past five years, DGS and its owners and officers report no debarments, suspensions or exclusions from public
contracting; no wage-and-hour or prevailing-wage violations; no OSHA willful violations; and no unresolved labor findings.
DGS does not currently participate in a registered apprenticeship program. Workforce development is supported through
supervised on-the-job learning, safety training and project- or manufacturer-specific instruction appropriate to assigned
work.

13. Subcontractor Qualifications & Management*
Identify all proposed subcontractors, including each firm's scope of work, qualifications, relevant experience, and applicable licenses,
and describe how the contractor will coordinate, supervise, and manage subcontractor performance throughout the project.
No specialty subcontractor is committed at this time because this is an as-needed contract and the appropriate provider
may depend on the manufacturer, system type, required authorization, location, urgency and availability. DGS intends to
self-perform core commercial glass, glazing, storefront, entrance and related repair work.
Anticipated specialty subcontracted scopes may include emergency board-up and temporary securing; overhead,
sectional; automatic-door systems and operators; access-control systems; and manufacturer-specific components.
Before assignment, DGS will evaluate each subcontractor's relevant experience, licenses and certifications, insurance,
safety capability, manufacturer qualifications and ability to meet the City's response requirements. When required, DGS
will submit the firm and scope for City approval before work proceeds. DGS will remain the sole point of contact and fully
responsible for subcontractor scheduling, supervision, safety, quality, documentation, payment and closeout.

14. Local Workforce & Economic Participation*
Provide a workforce and local participation plan identifying the estimated total number of employees expected to work on the
project, the estimated number and percentage of City of Pontiac residents to be employed, anticipated utilization of Pontiac-based
subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors, and strategies for recruiting, hiring, and retaining Pontiac residents.
DGS currently reports zero City of Pontiac residents in its workforce, or 0%. Because the contract is as-needed and
includes no guaranteed minimum quantity, staffing will vary by task order. DGS estimates a typical call will use one to four
DGS employees, with additional supervision and approved specialty subcontractors for larger, multi-opening or
emergency work. Based on the current workforce, the initial estimated Pontiac-resident ?taffing is zero employees and
0%.

[DYNAMIC GLAZING SYSTEMS, INC.] RESPONSE DOCUMENT REPORT
RFO/RFP No. 2026-RFP-0172
As-Needed Door Repair, Replacement and Glazing System Repairs

If contract volume requires additional hiring, DGS will advertise applicable openings through its careers channel and will
consider qualified Pontiac residents based on position requirements. DGS will also seek qualified Pontiac-based
subcontractors, suppliers and vendors when they can meet licensing, insurance, safety, response-time, manufacturer,
quality and commercial requirements. DGS will track local participation by task order when requested.

15. Safety Record & Quality Control*
Describe the firm's safety record, written safety program, OSHA history, Experience Modification Rate (EMR), if available, and qualitycontrol and quality-assurance procedures used to ensure safe operations and high-quality workmanship.
DGS reports zero OSHA-recordable incidents in each of the past three years, no willful OSHA violations, and no OSHA
citations or open findings within the past five years. The workers' compensation Experience Modification Rates verified by
Richmond Agency are 0.85 for 2024-2025, 0.79 for 2025-2026 and 0.79 for 2026-2027. The EMR letter is included as
Appendix D.
The written safety program is reviewed annually and applies to field employees and subcontractors. It covers new-hire
orientation, regular toolbox talks, OSHA training appropriate to assigned roles, glass handling, lockout/tagout, ladders,
aerial lifts and fall protection, occupied-site access controls, PPE, equipment inspections, incident reporting and
investigation. The Project Manager and field supervisors oversee compliance and conductjobsite safety checks.
Quality assurance includes field measurement and existing-condition verification before materials are ordered, use of new
commercial-grade materials from established suppliers, installation to manufacturer instructions and code, in-process
inspection, final operational testing, supervisor review, written service reports and photographs when requested.
Deficiencies vyill be corrected promptly under DGS's one-year labor warranty.

16. References & Past Performance*
Provide at least three references for comparable construction projects and describe the firm's past performance related to
workmanship, timely completion, communication, project management, and resolution of project issues. Please provide the
reference's name, phone number & email address.

Describe the firm's financial capacity and bonding capability to successfully complete the project, disclose any debarments,
suspensions, wage and hour violations, prevailing wage violations, OSHA willful violations, or unresolved labor findings within the past

development initiative.
Walker Wren is structured to perform as-needed, task-order-based municipal facility work and manages labor, material procurement,
specialty trades, documentation, and invoicing according to authorized work orders.
The City of Pontiac confirmed in its September 9, 2026 solicitation Q&A that there is no bonding requirement for this project.
To the best of the firm's knowledge, during the preceding five years Walker Wren Investments LLC has had no debarments or
suspensions and no OSHA willful violations, prevailing-wage violations, wage-and-hour violations, or unresolved labor findings.

Door. Garrett Door will support applicable overhead and specialty commercial-door service requirements under Walker Wren's primecontract management.
Additional specialty providers may be utilized where an individual task order requires capabilities outside the core team's scope.
Walker Wren will manage subcontractors through defined work orders, scheduling requirements, site requirements, quality-control
expectations, insurance requirements, and required service documentation. Specialty providers will be required to possess applicable
qualifications and insurance and support applicable City service requirements.
Andre Burnett will provide technical field coordination and workmanship review. Robbin Hopkins will administer subcontractor
authorization, City coordination, documentation, and commercial matters.
Walker Wren remains the City's single point of accountability for subcontracted work.

14. Local Workforce & Economic Participation*
Pass
Provide a workforce and local participation plan identifying the estimated total number of employees expected to work on the
project, the estimated number and percentage of City of Pontiac residents to be employed, anticipated utilization of Pontiac-based
subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors, and strategies for recruiting, hiring, and retaining Pontiac residents.

Walker Wren is committed to meaningful Pontiac workforce and economic participation in performance of this contract. President &
CEO Robbin Hopkins is a Pontiac native with longstanding ties to the community, and Walker Wren maintains active business, project,
contractor, and workforce relationships in Pontiac while operating from its principal Detroit office.

Estimated employee Workforce: Because this is an as-needed contract with no guaranteed task-order volume, Walker Wren
anticipates maintaining a lean core project-management structure and scaling field resources according to individual work orders. No
dedicated Pontiac-resident employees at contract commencement; Walker Wren does, however, currently utilize two Pontiacresident independent contractors who provide bookkeeping/administrative support and as-needed field labor. These resources may
support contract administration and field activities as task-order requirements warrant.
Pontiac-based subcontractor participation: Walker Wren proposes Garrett Door, a Pontiac-based company with 46 years in business,
as its specialty overhead/commercial door subcontractor. This provides direct Pontiac-based business participation in contract
performance from the outset.

As task-order volume develops, Walker Wren will prioritize qualified Pontiac residents when additional employees or field personnel
are required and will utilize local skilled-trade and workforce networks for recruitment. Walker Wren will also prioritize qualified
Pontiac-based suppliers, vendors, subcontractors, and service providers when they meet project requirements, qualifications,
scheduling, availability, and competitive pricing.
Walker Wren will track local participation throughout the contract and seek opportunities to expand both Pontiac-resident
employment and Pontiac-based business utilization.
15. Safety Record & Quality Control*
Pass

Describe the firm's safety record, written safety program, OSHA history, Experience Modification Rate (EMR), if available, and qualitycontrol and quality-assurance procedures used to ensure safe operations and high-quality workmanship.
Walker Wren maintains safety practices appropriate to its construction and facility-services operations, including procedures
addressing glass handling, public work-zone protection, elevated work, ladders/lifts, lockout/tagout, and coordination of specialty
overhead-door work.
OSHA History: To the best of the firm's knowledge, Walker Wren Investments LLC has no OSHA citation history.

EMR: Walker Wren is a small contractor and does not currently maintain an established EMR applicable to this proposal. Supporting
insurance/loss information can be provided if requested by the City.
Quality assurance is integrated into each work order through field inspection, functional testing, service documentation, photographs
as applicable, and warranty follow-up.

Robbin Hopkins - President
WALKER WREN INVESTMENTS LLC 18975 GREENLAWN ST
Detroit, Ml, 48221-2112
Dear Robbin Hopkins:

•

Congratulations! Welcome to the HUBZone Program!
I am pleased to advise you that effective this date, WALKER WREN INVESTMENTS LLC has been
approved for certification as a "certified HUBZone small business concern." The firm is now
eligible for HUBZone opportunities and will be identified as a certified HUBZone small business
concerns in SBA's Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) database found at Dynamic Small
Business Search Tool. This certification will remain in effect for one year, unless: the firm
acquires, is acquired by, or merges with another firm during that one-year period; the firm is
performing a HUBZone contract and fails to attempt to maintain the minimum employee
HUBZone residency requirement; or the firm voluntarily withdraws from the program. The
information below sets forth requirements concerning the firm's continued HUBZone eligibility
and its responsibilities as a certified HUBZone small business concern.
As a certified HUBZone small business concern, the firm may receive program benefits, including
eligibility for HUBZone set-aside awards, HUBZone sole source awards, the HUBZone Price
Evaluation Preference in full and open competition, and HUBZone reserves. These benefits come
with important responsibilities, including:
• Annually recertifying that the firm meets the HUBZone eligibility requirements. The date of
this letter is the firm's HUBZone certification date. Each year, you must recertify your
firm's HUBZone eligibility as of the anniversary of this certification date. For additional
information, see the Recertification Fact Sheet.
• Checking SBA's preview map to determine whether changes in HUBZone area
designations will impact the firm's eligibility at the time of its annual recertification.
Note that changes in HUBZone designations may critically affect the firm's ability to
recertify its compliance with the HUBZone requirements that its principal office be
located in a HUBZone and that at least 35% of its employees reside in HUBZones.
• Complying with the limitations on subcontracting requirements and nonmanufacturer rule
when performing any HUBZone contracts (see13 C.F.R. §§ 126.700, 125.6, 121.406).
• "Attempting to maintain" compliance with the 35% HUBZone residency requirement
during the performance of any HUBZone contracts. "Attempt to maintain" means making
substantive and documented efforts, such as written offers ofemployment, published
advertisements seeking employees, and attendance at job fairs, and applies only to firms
that are performing a HUBZone set-aside contract or order, a HUBZone sole source award,
a HUBZone reserve, or a contract where the HUBZone Price Evaluation Preference was

Ref: IAF-19L

Office of the HUBZone Program, U.S. Small Business AdministratK>n, 409 Third Street, SW, Washington, OC 20416

applied (see 13 C.F.R. §§126.103, 126.200, 126.600). A certified HUBZone small business
concern that has less than 20% of its total employees residing in HUBZones during the
performance of a HUBZone contract has failed to attempt to maintain the HUBZone
residency requirement and must immediately notify SBA.
• Notifying SBA within 30 days if the firm is acquired by, acquires, or merges with another
firm.
• Keeping the firm's System for Award Management (SAM) and DSBS records up-to-date.
These records must remain up-to-date in order for the firm to receive benefits from the
HUBZone Program (i.e., to be identified by contracting officers as eligible to be awarded
HUBZone contracts and to be paid under any such contracts). You must validate the firm's
SAM information at least annually or its SAM registration will become inactive. If you need
assistance in updating the firm's SAM or DSBS information, please go to the SAM Help
Desk at https://fsd .gov/fsd-gov/home.do.
• Responding to notices from SBA, including but not limited to notices regarding
program examinations, protests, proposed decertification actions, and
recertification requirements. The HUBZone Program sends such notices to the
firm's email address listed in its DSBS profile. If the firm fails to respond to these
notices, SBA will propose the firm for decertification and may subsequently
decertify it from the HUBZone Program. Therefore, it is critical that you keep
the firm's SAM and DSBS profiles current, including listing an active email
address for contacting the firm, and check your email's SPAM folder to make
sure that you are receiving emails from SBA.

Notification of Map Change and Redesignation
ATTENTION: All current Redesignated Areas will retain their HUBZone designation through
June 30, 2026, in accordance with a final rule published by SBA on May 5, 2021 (86 FR 23863).
For planning purposes, if the firm's principal office is located in a Redesignated Area or any of
its employees reside in Redesignated Areas, you should consider actions to maintain program
compliance after that date.
A new HUBZone map which reflects updated designations for more than 8,000 areas
. Related information is now available on our website.
HUBZone program (sba.gov).
Misrepresentation
By bidding on any Federal solicitation that is set-aside or reserved for certified HUBZone small
business concerns or for which a HUBZone price evaluation preference will be applied, the firm's
submission of that offer is deemed to be a representation to the United States that the company
is a certified HUBZone small business concern in compliance with the HUBZone Program
requirements. ANY FIRM FOUND TO HAVE WILLFULLY MISREPRESENTED ITS HUBZONE STATUS
IN OBTAINING SUCH AN AWARD MAY BE SUBJECT TO A RANGE OF CIVIL AND CRIMINAL
PENALTIES, TREBLE DAMAGES UNDER THE FALSE CLAIMS ACT, AND/OR SUSPENSION OR
DEBARMENT FROM FEDERAL CONTRACTING.
How to get the most out of the Program
Although the firm's status as a certified HUBZone small business concern greatly improves its
access to Federal procurement opportunities, this certification does not guarantee contract

Ref: IAF-19L

Office of the HUBZone Program, U.S. Small Business AdministratK>n, 409 Third Street, S\Y, \Yashington1 OC 20416

awards. Your ability to research opportunities and competitively bid on them will be the key to
your success in this program. I recommend you utilize the web resources described below,
which are designed to help you maximize the HUBZone Program's benefits.
The "Contract Opportunities" function in SAM (https://sam.gov/content/opportunities) serves as a
central listing for Federal procurement opportunities. Anyone interested in doing business with
the government can use this system to search opportunities. In addition, the "Contract Data"
function in SAM (https://sam.gov/content/contract-data) is a database accessible to the public at
no cost and you may use it to learn about contract awards to businesses in various
socioeconomic categories, including HUBZone. Please note that while your concern was
approved under the primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code found in
your firm's SAM and DSBS profiles, you may be awarded contracts under other NAICS codes, as
long as your firm is small under the size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the
contract. You may benefit from researching and identifying potential HUBZone contracting
opportunities outside your firm's primary NAICS code.
As a certified HUBZone small business concern, you may use the SBA digital icon (available at
SBA-certified contractors I SBA Brand Guide) on your business' website, business cards,
social media profiles, and in your capability statements and proposal bids. However, you MAY
NOT use the digital icon to express or imply endorsement by SBA of any goods, services,
entities, or individuals. Thus, the SBA digital icon may not be used on a company's letterhead,
marketing materials, or advertising, whether paid or public service announcement, traditional
or digital.
As a HUBZone firm, you are also eligible to participate in the l(j) Management and Technical
Assistance Program (sba.gov)) which is designed to provide high quality technical assistance to
eligible firms. SBA's Surety Bond Guarantee Program helps small businesses establish or
increase bonding capacity. Bond guarantees increase eligibility for contracts up to $1 OM. Go to
http://www.sba.gov/osg to find an SBA authorized agent.
We wish you the best of luck as a certified HUBZone small business concern - your success will
help improve the economic future of the HUBZone areas in which the firm operates and in which
the firm's employees reside.
If at any time you have any questions about the HUBZone Program or how SBA may be able to
support your business objectives, the HUBZone Office offers assistance via an interactive
conference call where we can respond to general questions and concerns in real-time. For
additional information, visit our website at http://www.sba.gov/hubzone or contact the HUBZone
Help Desk at [email protected].

RE: Solicitation No. 2026-RFP-0172 -As-Needed Door Repair, Replacement and Glazing System Repairs
Dear Mr. eaten:
On behalf of Walker Wren Investments LLC ("Walker Wren"), I am pleased to submit our proposal in response to the
City of Pontiac's Solicitation No. 2026-RFP-0172 for as-needed door repair, replacement, maintenance, and glazing
system repairs at City-owned and City-maintained facilities.
Walker Wren is a Michigan-based, woman- and minority-owned small business with current SBA Women-Owned Small
Business (WOSB) and HUBZone certifications. The firm provides construction, project management, facility-support, and
development services with its principal office in Detroit and an active business and project presence in Pontiac.
As a company led by a Pontiac native, Walker Wren approaches this opportunity as both a contractor and community
stakeholder. Our proposed team combines Walker Wren's construction management, project coordination, compliance,
and facility-service capabilities with more than 20 years of journeyman-level commercial glazing and door experience under
the technical leadership of proposed Project Manager Andre Burnett.
Mr. Burnett's experience includes commercial glass and glazing systems, curtain wall, flush glazing, storefront systems,
hollow-metal and steel doors, door hardware, aluminum fabrication, caulking, and blueprint reading. Walker Wren will
supplement this core technical capacity with qualified specialty subcontractors as required, providing the City with a single
accountable prime contractor for routine, urgent, and emergency service requests.
Walker Wren confirms that:
- We have read and understand the project requirements and Scope of Work, including the City's response standards of
two hours for emergency calls, 24 hours for urgent calls, and three to five business days for routine service.
- No addenda have been issued under this solicitation as of the date of submission.
- The City's written solicitation Q&A confirms that fireworks-specific insurance coverage is not required and that there is no
bonding requirement for this contract.
- Robbin Hopkins, President & CEO, is the authorized representative and signer for this proposal and may be reached at
(313) 969-1480 or [email protected].
- The information contained in this proposal and its supporting documentation is true and accurate to the best of our
knowledge.
Walker Wren appreciates the opportunity to be considered as a service partner to the City of Pontiac. We are prepared to
provide responsive field service, experienced technical leadership, clear communication, thorough documentation, local
participation, and accountable project management throughout the contract term.

Robbin Hopkins

Action Requested:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of Service Agreements and Statements of Work for As-Needed City-Wide
Catering Services. The agreements shall have an initial term of three (3) years, with two (2) additional one-year renewal
options, subject to mutual agreement of the parties and availability of funding.

Background:
The City of Pontiac regularly requires catering and food service support for meetings, training, community programs,
and City-sponsored events involving City staff, elected officials, partner organizations, and members of the public. These
events vary in size, location, service style, and dietary needs. The events identified are for a public purpose.
To establish a consistent and efficient process for obtaining these services, the City solicited qualified vendors capable
of providing reliable, high-quality catering services on an as-needed basis. Services may include boxed meals, buffet
service, plated meals, drop-off catering, delivery, setup, clean-up, and the necessary equipment and disposable service
items.

Establishing city-wide catering contracts will provide departments with access to qualified vendors that meet applicable
food safety, licensing, sanitation, and insurance requirements while providing transparent pricing and invoicing. The
contracts are intended to streamline departmental purchasing, encourage competitive vendor utilization, maintain
consistent service standards, and provide flexibility to accommodate the City's varied operational and event needs.

Procurement Process:
The City of Pontiac issued a competitive solicitation through OpenGov seeking qualified vendors to provide city-wide
catering and food services on an as-needed basis. Eight vendors submitted proposals in response to the solicitation.
An evaluation team reviewed and scored each proposal using the evaluation criteria established in the solicitation.
Vendors were evaluated based on the following areas:
• Vendor Qualifications & Experience
• Menu & Service Capabilities
• Ordering & Scheduling
• Delivery, Setup & Staffing
• Food Safety & Compliance
• Pricing & Invoicing
• Sustainability & Waste Management
A minimum evaluation score of 80 points was required for a vendor to be considered for contract award. Following
completion of the evaluation process, six vendors achieved the required minimum score and were selected for contract
award. The remaining two vendors did not meet the 80-point minimum and were not recommended for award.
The resulting multiple-award structure is intended to provide City departments with access to a qualified pool of catering
vendors while supporting service flexibility, competitive pricing, vendor availability, and the City's varying event and
operational needs. If additional catering capacity or services are needed during the contract term, the City may conduct
an additional competitive solicitation to identify and contract with additional qualified vendors in accordance with the
City's purchasing requirements.

Fiscal Impact
Funding for this service be drawn from Departments GL's that utilize the Catering Service Contracts.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Pontiac City Council approve the Service Agreements and Statements of Work for AsNeeded City-Wide Catering Services and authorize the Mayor or his designee to execute all necessary documents

CITY OF PONTIAC
OFFICIAL MEMORANDUM
TO:

Honorable City Council

.FROM:

Melinda Durakovic, Director, Human Resources

CC:

Mayor, Mike McGuinness
Deputy Mayor, Richard T. Seay

DATE:

November 10, 2026

RE:

Recommendation to Renew Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan for 2027 for
City of Pontiac Employee Coverage

Honorable City Council,
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend renewing the City's medical insurance
coverage with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) and Blue Care Network (BCN) for
the 2027 plan year, despite the proposed 19.3% renewal increase.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Based on the renewal analysis provided by Alera Group, the financial impact is as follows:
•

2026 Annual Premium and HSA Cost: $2,298,669

•

2027 Proposed Annual Premium and HSA Cost: $2,726,931

•

Additional Annual Cost: $428,262

•

Renewal Increase: 19.3%

JUSTIFICATION
Although the proposed increase is significant, maintaining BCBSMIBCN offers several
important advantages:
•

Continuity of Care: Employees and their families can maintain familiar healthcare
arrangements, subject to the 2027 provider networks and plan terms.

•

Employee Stability: Retaining the current carrier minimizes the disruption and
uncertainty associated with transitioning to a new insurance provider.

•

Established Plan Options: The City can maintain its existing PPO, HMO, and HSA
offerings while exploring opportunities to adjust plan designs and manage costs.

•

Employee Retention: Providing dependable healthcare coverage remains an important
component of the City's overall compensation and employee retention strategy.

While Priority Health presented a competitive alternative with a lower projected increase, the
City must consider more than premium savings when making this decision. Provider access,
continuity of coverage, prescription benefits, and the overall impact on employees and their
families are equally important considerations.
Plan-by-Plan Comparison

The following figures reflect the latest available plan estimates:
Current plan

Current renewal
estimate

Proposed Priority Health
plan

Priority
estimate

BCBSM PPO $500

$428,678

Priority POS $500

$527,967

BCNHMO $1,000

$1,168,398

Priority HMO $1,500

$1,088,640

BCBSM PPO HSA
$3,500

$1,048,855

Priority POS HSA $3,500

$782,527

Employee Contribution Considerations

The proposed Priority Health structure includes the following employee-premium
considerations:
•

Priority POS $500: No increase in the listed employee contribution.

•

Priority HMO $1,500: Proposed at $0 employee premium.

•

Priority POS HSA $3,500: Proposed at $0 employee premium.

A $0 employee premium means the employee would not pay a payroll-deducted premium for the
applicable plan. It does not mean the plan has no deductible, copayments, coinsurance, or other
out-of-pocket costs.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City renew its medical insurance coverage with BCBSM/BCN for the
2027 plan year, accepting the proposed 19.3% increase and estimated additional annual cost of
$428,262.

This recommendation balances the City's responsibility to manage rising healthcare expenses
with its commitment to maintaining dependable and consistent healthcare benefits for employees
and their families.

CITY OF PONTIAC CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RENEWAL OF BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF
MICHIGAN AND BLUE CARE NETWORK MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE
FOR THE 2027 PLAN YEAR

WHEREAS, the City has evaluated alternative medical insurance carrier options, including
Priority Health, which presented a competitive proposal with a lower projected renewal increase;

disruption associated with transitioning to a new insurance carrier; and,

WHEREAS, maintaining the City's existing relationship with BCBSM/BCN will allow
employees and their covered dependents to continue with familiar medical insurance
arrangements, subject to the applicable 2027 plan terms and provider networks; and,
WHEREAS, it is recommended renewing the City's medical insurance coverage with
BCBSM/BCN for the 2027 plan year to prioritize continuity of coverage, employee benefit
stability, and the overall interests of the City's workforce; now,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Pontiac City Council hereby authorizes the

renewal, subject to applicable approval requirements.

RE:

RESOLUTION REQUESTING AN ACCOUNTING FROM OAKLAND COUNTY
SHERIFF AS TO PROTOCOLS AND SAFEGUARDS FOR BREACH AND
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF FLOCK CAMERA DATA

Flock cameras automatically photograph license plates and place vehicle information into a searchable law enforcement database. Recent public records show that employees at several Michigan law enforcement agencies
used the system for immigration-related searches, despite assurances that it would not be used for immigration
enforcement.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office confirmed that immigration-related searches violated its policy. A criminal
investigation is also underway concerning a former employee who allegedly continued to access the Flock database
after leaving the Sheriffs Office.
These incidents raise serious concerns about privacy, unauthorized access, and whether existing safeguards are
strong enough to prevent misuse. They also undermine public trust, especially after the Pontiac City Council was
told that Flock data had not been requested by or shared with immigration authorities.
This resolution would urge State Legislators to strengthen safeguards and penalties for the improper use of Flock
automated license plate reader (LPR) camera data, and would request an accounting from the Oakland County
Sheriffs Office of its protocols and safeguards for preventing breaches and unauthorized use of Flock camera data.

RECOMMENDATION
The Law Department recommends that City Council formally requests that the City Council consider the following
action:
( 1) Advocate for its residents and implore the State Legislators to implement new safeguards and penalties
surrounding the improper use of FLOCK (LPR) camera data collected by law enforcement agencies
(2) Requesting an Accounting from the Oakland County Sheriff's Department as to Protocols and
Safeguards for breach and Unauthorized Use of Flock Camera Data, and if dissatisfied with said accounting;
The Law Department further recommends that City Council formally request that (a) the City Administration and
the Oakland County Sheriff's Department refrain from entering into any future agreement for AI-assisted
automated license plate reader systems, including agreements with Flock Safety or any substantially similar
provider, until the City has facilitated meaningful public engagement, completed a transparent privacy impact
assessment, and established clear policies governing data collection, retention, access, sharing, auditing, and
oversight; (b) the City's Public Safety, Health, and Wellness Subcommittee review concerns surrounding Flock
cameras and make recommendations to the Council; (c) the City's Law Department further review the terms of
any existing Flock camera contract and make a recommendation as any improper use and termination options; and
(d) that upon recommendations from the City's Public Safety Commission and City's Law Department, the Pontiac
City Council shall decide whether to continue the city's contract for Flock camera service.
