Hello neighbors!
Welcome to everyone who is new to this newsletter! Before every Ann Arbor City Council meeting, I write up my own summary of each agenda item and try to pull details that I think are most relevant to understanding them. My hope is that these summaries can help residents keep track of what City Council is doing. For issues that matter to you, I encourage you to follow links (next to each agenda item) to the City’s Legistar website, where you can find all the background information.
This week, the biggest item on our agenda is the FY 2023 budget and proposed amendments. I have explained the amendments below in the “Additional Thoughts” section. Also note that item CA-11 officially adopts $24.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds into the budget, following allocations in a Council resolution passed on April 4, 2022.
In other City related news, Assistant City Administrator John Fournier recently interviewed with the city of Evanston for the position of City Manager, and has been offered the job:

I have an unusual scheduling conflict this weekend, related to my work outside of Council. The preschool where I teach will be participating in a Preschool Expo this Sunday afternoon, when I would typically be hosting my constituent coffee hours. The event is happening downtown at the Ann Arbor Public library from 1-4 PM, so I am planning to have coffee hours later, at a park close to downtown. For anyone in the market for a local preschool (or anyone who might want to stop by and say hello!), information about this event can be found here:

Washtenaw County High COVID-19 Community Level
On Thursday May 12th, County officials announced that Washtenaw County is at a high “COVID-19 Community Level”.
https://www.washtenaw.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2035
From the Washtenaw County website:
At this level, it is recommended that everyone wear a mask in indoor public locations according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Indoor public locations include K-12 schools and other indoor community settings. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should definitely wear a mask. Choose a multilayer surgical, KN95, or N95 mask rather than a cloth mask.
The CDC has a webpage to check the “COVID-19 Community Level” of any county in the country:

Ward 4 People & Places You Should Know
If you live in the Lower Burns Park neighborhood of Ward 4, you may already know about the Robert Hayden house. I first learned about Robert Hayden and his house last summer, when Council voted to establish a Historic District committee to make recommendations about the home at 1201 Gardner Avenue.
City staff prepared a memo at the time, explaining Robert Hayden (and his connection to Ann Arbor):
http://a2gov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=9662347&GUID=C21D045A-DD48-4E41-ABB5-7DF1B5A0084C
From the memo:
Robert Hayden made extraordinary contributions to American history, culture and poetry while residing at 1201 Gardner Avenue in the City of Ann Arbor. Designating his home as a single-resource historic district based on these contributions would further his legacy and raise awareness of his life and works.
Robert Hayden was born in Detroit in 1913. After a traumatic childhood, he attended Detroit City College, then enrolled in the University of Michigan in 1941 where he won a prestigious Hopwood Award for aspiring writers. After finishing his degree in 1942, Hayden taught at UofM for several years and was the first Black faculty member in Michigan’s English department. Hayden taught at Fisk University for over 20 years, but he and Erma returned to Ann Arbor, to 1201 Gardener Street, in 1969 where he taught at UofM until his death in 1980.
During the tumultuous ‘60s, Hayden was criticized for refusing to call himself a “black poet” (he called himself an “American poet”), though he wrote some of the most powerful black history poems in the English language. In 1976 Hayden was offered and accepted the position of Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress (later called the Poet Laureate) – the first Black American to hold this position. He accepted and was reappointed in 1978.
Above is a picture of a US Postage Stamp issued in 2012 honoring Robert Hayden, recently given to me by an Ann Arbor friend.
On September 20, 2021, City Council voted to appoint members to the Hayden House Historic District Study Committee. I am revisiting this topic because just last month, that committee released a preliminary report with more details about Robert Hayden’s life and the house itself. You can find their 24 page report (4/26/22) here:
http://a2gov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=10858653&GUID=B72D6D19-AE22-418F-A5AC-38E7A7F67EEC
We are lucky to live in a community that has been (and continues to be) home to many remarkable people like Robert Hayden. He is someone you should know!

DS-1 (22-0607) Resolution to Approve FY 2023 Fee Adjustments for the Community Services Area
Fees for the Community Services area would be adjusted for FY 2023. A new $50 fee per lot (and/or per 1000 sq. feet) will apply to site plans.

Ten additional FTE’s will be permitted on a temporary basis as part of the workforce planning initiative. There was a public hearing for this item at the previous Council meeting.
Additional thoughts…
CITY BUDGET AMENDMENTS
The biggest item on this week’s agenda is final approval of the City Budget for FY 2023. Our last meeting included public hearings for all related fee and rate adjustments attached to the Budget. This week will include discussion of four proposed Budget amendments submitted by Council Members and reviewed by Staff. Below is explanation of those amendments.
For reference, the budget amendments are attached to the item DS-4 in this week’s agenda:
DS-4 (22-0699) Resolution to Adopt Ann Arbor City Budget and Related Property Tax Millage Rates for Fiscal Year 2023
This is a direct link to the budget amendment document:
https://a2gov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=10891617&GUID=4506DD32-1EAE-427E-BD51-4288A1E6C25E
USE OF MARIJUANA EXCISE TAX FUNDS (AMENDMENTS 1 & 3)
Proposed Amendments 1 and 3 direct spending of the $935,336 Marijuana Excise Tax fund revenue recently received for FY 2023. These funds come from the State of Michigan as revenue and are technically “non-recurring” insofar as the amount of money expected year to year is not yet a stable/predictable number.
Last year (March 15, 2021), Council unanimously approved a resolution directing and limiting the use of Marijuana Excise Tax Fund revenue to the following purposes:
- Emergency Services response that include mental health and substance use disorder professionals;
- Programs for substance abuse intervention, treatment and recovery support services;
- Education and enrichment programs for at-risk youth; and
- Innovation grants toward promoting criminal diversion and expungement, support for formerly incarcerated members of our community, and other criminal justice reform initiatives;
I wrote about it at the time:
https://www.a2elnel.com/post/additional-thoughts-mar-13-2021-marijuana-excise-tax-funds
The whole of that 2021 resolution can be found here:
https://a2gov.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4819759&GUID=C4559926-7EB4-4FBD-9B56-ED17870D4972
Resolutions are typically written in two parts: WHEREAS clauses offering background and context and RESOLVED clauses directing specific action. RESOLVED clauses from resolutions like the one above – directing incoming funds to specific purposes moving forward and in future budgets – are traditionally honored until Council votes to reverse that directive. E.g. Allocations of the Public Safety & Community Mental Health millage rebate toward affordable housing, climate action, and pedestrian safety (the “40/40/20 split”) were established by a 2017 Council resolution; a Council vote to lift those restrictions was vetoed by the Mayor in 2019 and again in 2020.
It is worth noting that Amendment 3 refers to WHEREAS clauses in explaining how the allocations comply with the 2021 resolution. The programs and purposes listed in this amendment are undeniably worthy of discussion and investment. However, to the extent that any specific allocations of these funds might not comply with the RESOLVED clauses in the 2021 resolution, City Council would have to affirmatively vote to reverse the previous directive.
I look forward to substantive discussion about what each of these allocations will support in terms of community need. I am curious to hear, also, how these allocations comply with the Council resolution (approved unanimously last year) regarding use of the Marijuana Excise Tax Fund revenue.
AMENDMENT 1
Sponsors: Nelson and Ramlawi
- $567,400 (non-recurring) for the purpose of creating a Deflection Program within the FY 2023 City Attorney’s Office.
- $35,000 (non-recurring) for the purpose of a school backpack and supplies program within the FY 2023 Community Development General Fund budget.

- $28,336 (non-recurring) to the Washtenaw County’s Child Savings Account (CSA) Program, establishing asset-building accounts for BIPOC and/or low-income children, dedicated for expenses associated with postsecondary education
OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION (AMENDMENT 2)
In Amendment 2, funding for Sustainability Grants are proposed to come from the General Fund fund balance. Note that Sustainability Grants would receive a total of $300,000 if Council approves both Amendment 2 and Amendment 3. I look forward to hearing more information about what, specifically, these Sustainability grants are likely to fund and for how many people/households.
AMENDMENT 2
Sponsors: Briggs, Disch, Eyer, Grand and Song
- $240,000 (non-recurring) would be allocated from the General Fund fund balance to the Office of Sustainability and Innovation for a Low-income Sustainability Grants Program, in order to help residents pay for some of the upfront costs of improvements to make their homes safer, healthier, more comfortable, and more sustainable.
CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE (AMENDMENT 4)
Funding for the items in Amendment 4 (below) will come from the General Fund fund balance and General Fund surplus for FY 2023. All of these items have been recommended and requested by new City Attorney, Atleen Kaur. This budget amendment is part of Ms Kaur’s current work actively assessing and identifying needs in our City Attorney’s office, and has been submitted by the Council Administration Committee.
AMENDMENT 4
Sponsors: Taylor, Eyer, Grand, Griswold and Radina (Council Administration Committee)
- Add 1.0 FTE for an Assistant City Attorney to the FY 2023 General Fund budget within the City Attorney’s Office
- $165,252 (recurring) would be allocated from the General Fund surplus to the City Attorney’s Office for the additional 1.0 FTE.
- $20,000 (non-recurring) would be allocated from the General Fund fund balance to the City Attorney’s Office for one-time implementation costs for the replacement of CityLaw software.
- $48,000 (recurring) would be allocated from the General Fund surplus to the City Attorney’s Office for the annual software maintenance costs for the replacement of CityLaw software.
Thank you for helping me represent Ward 4!
