4. REPORTS: None.

5. CALL TO THE PUBLIC:

� MELISSA GIBSON - Grand Blanc, MI: Volunteer at Livingston County Animal Control. Dismissed recently from Volunteering. Only reason given for dismissal was that she asked too many questions. Asking for transparency so that questions can be answered, more marketing to move animals faster, and having animals more available to the public. Would like to meet with someone for some guidance on getting concerns addressed.

� SHIELA BELKOWSKI - Brighton, MI: Friend of Melissa Gibson. Worked for many organizations where volunteers are a pressing need.

� BILL FOUNTAIN - Hartland Township Supervisor: Township has approved request to establish Rehabilitation District. Next step is County approval and, If approved, will then go to State for approval. Site plan is currently being amended by lowering the number of theaters to bring their cost down. Liquor licenses are available. Previous developers brought $9 Million to improve the

intersection and traffic. A lot of development has gone on in the 35 Acres. Only asking for an abatement to 7-acre portion. Fallow versus developed County tax situation was approximately $1,300 to $6,000, respectfully, under the abatement. This development will enhance the current business in area.

� GLEN WILKINSON - Hartland Township: Does not support development or abatement. If not feasible without abatement it should not be built. Financing concerns are the Developer’s problem, not Township residents’. Seems that the Township is giving the Developer whatever he wants. Horrible precedent to be setting.

� JIM MARSHALL - Hartland, MI: Agrees with many of the points that Glen Wilkinson made. Finds it unbelievable to give taxpayer money to someone who should be able to afford the development in the first place. Safety is a major concern: many traffic accidents in area. Adding another business will only acerbate the current intersections congestions. Liquor License approval would be preferable if it was located off of a main road. Feels it should go to a vote of the public in the Fall, not slipped in at a Spring election.

� JOE COLAIANNE - Hartland Township Trustee / Planning Commissioner: Previous comments made deal with the Planning Commission process. Legislation allows tax abatements to attract business. Concerns mentioned tonight are better placed to the Legislature. County approved a 49-acre site for district, with no developer. This opportunity means jobs - jobs for young people and community members. This particular developer is bringing a $15M opportunity to Hartland Township. Property has been fallow for 20 years and this is an opportunity that the Township cannot overlook. Advised that he understands where opposition is coming from, however, 2/3 of the taxes will still be garnered. This is going to be a destination development. Other move theaters are looking to change their model to be similar to Emagine Theater’s. He advised that the Township Board took a lot of time looking over these plans and nothing was rushed into.

� STEWART OLDFORD - Hartland, MI: All of the numbers that are used to base abatement are based on a true cash value of $10M. Wondering what happened to the other $5M? Asked this at the public hearing but did not get an answer. Numbers are not matching the developer’s statements.

� WES NAKAGIRI - Hartland Township. Provided handout. Concern is that we are subsidizing a movie theater in a very competitive industry. Marketplace for movie tickets is declining, from 20%-40% in future years. Quoted various magazines regarding decline. MJR did not and does not receive a tax abatement. Advised that Emagine CEO states that they cannot get financing without the abatement. 19 theaters within 26 miles of Hartland, 73 within 30 miles.

� JOE PETRUCCI - Hartland Township Board Member: They are not subsidizing business, they are promoting business. Go to every city where Emagine has built and every one has grown. Every retailer is hurting - it’s a cyclical industry. This development would be the hub to spark the District. Competition is good for citizens. Traffic concerns were addressed by the State, County and developer representatives and $9M was put into the safety of the community. Traveling farther to go to something is not safer for residents. Today’s market makes it very difficult to get loans, ask any developer, builder, etc. There is no past history for a theater in Hartland because there has never been a theater in Hartland, so financing is based on pro forma in this situation. This particular piece of property fit the abatement requirements.

� LARRY CIOFU - Hartland Township Clerk: Previous small business owner. Previous statistics are misleading. This is not about the movie industry. It’s about an opportunity for economic development in Hartland, in Livingston County. People will come to see what we have to offer and will generate additional business. This is an opportunity.

� DENNIS DOLAN - COMMISSIONER: Wanted to advise those present that this is the first time the Board of Commissioners, the Finance Committee or this Committee has evaluated or been apprised of this issue. Just wanted to clarify the situation.

Noted that if Committee does nothing more than what was done tonight, the District will go through. Recommends the matter go to the Full Board so that all commissioners are present. Urged the whole of the Commission to take this up and to look at the proposed resolution language he submitted.

� MELISSA GIBSON - Grand Blank: Wanted to reiterate that, unfortunately, the other volunteer who was dismissed was unable to appear but she did numerous things to help the shelter as well.

Re: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN SAINT JOSEPH MERCY

LIVINGSTON AND LIVINGSTON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR THE

PRESCRIPTION FOR HEALTH PROGRAM

The Livingston County Health Department (LCHD) has explored a collaborative partnership with Saint Joseph Mercy Livingston to implement and maintain the Prescription for Health program in Livingston County. This program proved to be an effective way to address chronic disease and increase access to healthy food for program participants in Livingston County.

The Prescription for Health is an evidence based program and aims to increase fruit and vegetable consumption and support healthy behavior change among patients with lower incomes and a chronic disease risk through partnerships with local public health departments, clinics, physicians, farmers markets, and food pantries. Essentially, a participating physician can write a “prescription” for a patient who qualifies for the program. That prescription allows the patient to receive benefits at participating farmers markets and food pantries, including tokens to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables as well as education about how to prepare and use the produce available at the farmers markets and pantries and how to manage their chronic disease. While the economic benefit to the participant is short term, the education obtained during participation by the Community Health Worker is life-long.

Once again, the budget associated with the program will include salaries, equipment, training and internal service costs etc., which will be covered in full by Saint Joseph Mercy Livingston through December 31, 2018, and possibly beyond.

Re: Clinical Contract

Livingston County EMS is proud to announce the first 5 years of Emergency Medical Technician courses have been successful. One of the State requirements for successful completion of an approved EMT course is clinical experience in a hospital setting. In order to complete this requirement Saint Joseph Mercy Hospitals has agreed to be our clinical site. I believe this will be a long term relationship with the hospital as our training center grows and teaches many mores EMS related courses over the years to come.

The new clinical contract will be almost identical to the old one and is currently between developed for review by our legal counsel. I have attached a copy of the old one for your review.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me.
