Ann Arbor City Clerk's Office 2023 [ [link removed] ]
54th annual Professional Municipal Clerks Week

April 30?May 6, 2023, is observed as the 54th annual Professional Municipal Clerks Week ([link removed]), a time of celebration and reflection on the importance of clerk?s offices across the United States, Canada and 15 other countries.

The City of Ann Arbor Clerk?s Office provides a multitude of services to both staff and the community. Some of those regular services are:


* Support to all proceedings of the City Council.
* Coordination of staff liaisons for 60+ boards and commissions.
* Serve as staff liaison to the Ann Arbor Renters Commission, Liquor License Review Committee and the Election Commission.
* Operation of Fairview Cemetery.
* Issuance of a variety of permits and licenses. From fowl, fertilizer, block parties, banners, dog permits, domestic partnerships and precious metal, to marijuana, liquor and many, many more!
* Management of and response to hundreds of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

In an election year, the clerk?s office kicks into overdrive by:


* Recruiting, hiring and training hundreds of election workers.
* Partnering with the University of Michigan to create satellite clerk?s office locations on campus.
* Increasing operating hours to include evenings and weekends.
* And most of all: Providing a secure and efficient voting experience for residents while responding to ever-changing Michigan election law.

The work of the Ann Arbor City Clerk?s Office reaches every corner of the city (literally, there are 53 precinct locations on election day!), and they do all of this with a year-round staff of only seven people. Stop by the clerk?s office on the second floor of Larcom City Hall to say hi, or think of them next time you?re enjoying a drink downtown or dropping off your absentee ballot.

Ann Arbor Bicentennial Logo [ [link removed] ]
Ann Arbor bicentennial: A message from the city administrator

Happy spring! This is my second letter on behalf of the Ann Arbor Bicentennial Coordinating Committee. It is our intention to communicate with you throughout the year to keep you abreast of our preparations and to encourage you or your organization to join in the celebration.

Quick recap: A coordinating committee has been established to celebrate the Ann Arbor Bicentennial in 2024. The coordinating committee includes representation from the Ann Abor District Library, Ann Arbor Public Schools, City of Ann Arbor, Creative Washtenaw, Destination Ann Arbor, Main Street Association, Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union, Michigan Theater, Oxford Companies, State Street Association, University of Michigan and many others.

The bicentennial will be celebrated all year. Groups are encouraged to plan historical, cultural, educational, entertainment or legacy projects to celebrate. Organizations that already host annual events are encouraged to consider co-branding your 2024 activity to make it a part of the celebration.

The coordinating committee developed a logo [ [link removed] ], which we have promoted via our media outlets. The logo is available by request to groups for use in their marketing efforts. We want people to recognize it and know that it signifies a connection to the celebration.

Destination Ann Arbor is working hard to develop an activity calendar and a bicentennial website. Townies and visitors will be able to view the calendar to obtain information about all of the events and activities that will unfold over 2024.

When your group has determined your event, the date, location, contact information, and any other relevant event information such as the cost for the event, please share it with us. To submit your event information, ask questions, request logo use or extend an offer to help, please contact us via [email protected].

Several organizations have already committed to co-branding their events and some, such as the Ann Arbor Art Fair, have planned to do that this summer.

Mayor Taylor and City Council passed a resolution to create a new City of Ann Arbor flag in commemoration of the Bicentennial. That plan is being developed by the Ann Arbor Public Art Commission. Other activities are under consideration like:


* Bicentennial Day of Service.
* Creation of Bicentennial Park.

As the planning gels a bit more, we will be seeking local sponsors to ensure we have a memorable celebration. Next year is an opportunity to demonstrate that we are a diverse and inclusive community. It also gives us a chance to show that Ann Arbor knows how to have fun.

It?s not too late for your group or organization to plan something for 2024 and invite the public. If you choose to do so, please contact us via [email protected].

Stay tuned for our next update!

Sincerely,

Milton Dohoney Jr., City Administrator, Bicentennial Coordinating Committee Co-chair

Butterfly [ [link removed] ]
Promoting pollinators

The City of Ann Arbor is launching the Pollinator-aware Yard Care program! The successor to last year?s No Mow May campaign, the new program encourages property owners to support native pollinator populations through sustainable yard care practices. City residents can participate in the program and support our native pollinator populations through practices such as:


* Reducing the area of their mowed turfgrass by extending maintained garden beds or by planting native groundcover in place of turfgrass.
* Incorporating more native plants into garden beds and natural areas. When planting native species, consider only those which are height-appropriate in our urban environment, specifically in lawn extensions and rights-of-way. All plantings should adhere to Ann Arbor City Code, Chapter 40, Sections 3:15 (lawn extension and city right-of-way) and 3:16 (vegetation on private property). Refrain from using tall plants on lawn extensions, as these can create safety hazards for pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists.
* Mowing turfgrass less frequently and keeping it at a height of 6?12 inches during the spring.
* Avoiding chemical applications, especially of neonicotinoid insecticides.
* Leaving whole or mulched leaves in yards during the fall and winter months. For safety, residents should clear fallen leaves from areas near sidewalks and roads, to avoid slip hazards and clogged stormwater systems.

Without pollinators, such as bees, butterflies and beetles, our ecosystem would suffer. Approximately 75 percent of all plants rely on pollinators for fertilization to produce fruits, seeds and young plants. And not only do we need plants for food, plants help prevent soil erosion, remove carbon from the air and provide homes for wildlife.

To learn more about the Pollinator-aware Yard Care program, see how you can get involved, and find links to educational materials, visit osi.a2gov.org/pollinators [ [link removed] ]. A link is also featured on this page to register your address as participating in the program and to request a yard sign. (Please note, yard signs should not be placed in the lawn extension.) With any questions about the program, please email Sean Reynolds, community sustainability coordinator, at [email protected].

To learn more about the city?s carbon neutrality plan, which supports the Pollinator-aware Yard Care program and dozens of other programs to advance the city?s goal of achieving a just transition to community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030, visit www.a2zero.org. For details on the Ann Arbor Water Resources department, which supports the Pollinator-aware Yard Care program and other programs to achieve the city?s water quality goals, visit www.a2gov.org/departments/systems-planning/planning-areas/water-resources/Pages/default.aspx

Some steps the city is also taking to protect pollinators in parks and natural areas:


* GIVE 365, in partnership with other city parks staff, is initiating a pilot program to test alternative mowing practices at eight parks. This will explore mowing practices that diverge from established mowing cycles. The eight pilot sites differ greatly in scope and application. This pilot will allow staff and the community to explore the outcome of changing mowing practices such as grass length, community response, maintenance challenges, observed ecological benefits and more. To speak with staff regarding this pilot program, reach out to [email protected] or 734.794.6445.
* City parks are also home to over 60 garden beds that are actively managed by staff and volunteers. These gardens add vibrancy to park spaces and make them more inviting to all. Many of these gardens contain native plant species that have evolved to thrive in our local environmental conditions and support local pollinator populations.
* The city continues to build and maintain rain gardens in parks and along streets to help capture runoff from roads, parking lots, game courts and other impermeable surfaces. Rain gardens provide wildlife habitat, support pollinators, reduce erosion and improve water quality in the Huron River.

Budget process update for fiscal years 2024/2025

On Monday, May 15, City Administrator Milton Dohoney Jr. will present the city?s fiscal year 2024 proposed budget and 2025 fiscal plan to Ann Arbor City Council. In accordance with City Charter, the city administrator's recommended fiscal year 2024 budget was submitted to City Council on April 17, 2023.

Election center ? The city is researching locations to establish a permanent facility to support fair, impartial and safe elections. The facility would also provide space to eventually relocate Ann Arbor Community Television Network (CTN) studios and for a much-needed, offsite, permanent emergency operations centers.

Sustainability ? In addition to Community Climate Action Millage funding, the fiscal year 2024 budget would allocate funds toward the A2ZERO Plan to achieve carbon neutrality.

Major roadways and neighborhood street resurfacing.

Solid waste program studies to examine collection processes for trash, recycling, commercial compost, electronics and oversized materials.

Tree watering program.

Speed-management pilot program in support of the Ann Arbor Moving Together Towards Vision Zero Transportation Plan.

Bryant Community Center [ [link removed] ]
City awarded funding for geothermal project

The City of Ann Arbor has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to receive up to $588,000 to design a geothermal heating and cooling system in the Bryant neighborhood, on the city's south side. The looped geothermal system will be paired with efficiency improvements and rooftop solar. The system will also feature battery storage to cover at least 75% of the neighborhood?s heating and cooling load, thus eliminating energy burden for 262 low-income households, a local school, a county community mental health service center and the city?s Wheeler Service Center facility.

The project is an important part of the city's A2ZERO plan for achieving a just transition to community-wide carbon neutrality by 2030. Led by the City of Ann Arbor, the project is also supported by four additional community-based organizations that represent key community voices including low-income and frontline residents (Community Action Network), mental health service providers (Washtenaw County), public educators (Ann Arbor Public Schools) and utility service providers (DTE Energy).

See the announcement from Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell to learn more about the community geothermal heating and cooling system project, at [link removed].

Dog on a leash [ [link removed] ]
Reminders for your four-legged (dog) friends

There are important steps to keep your dog (and others) safe and happy in city parks, neighborhoods and around town. Please note these reminders for safety, comfort and courtesy for all:

Be sure dogs are properly licensed. Michigan law requires all dogs over the age of 6 months to be licensed. License fees are only $6 for an up-to-one-year license and $15 for a three-year license if your dog is spayed or neutered; fees for unaltered animals are $12 or $30 for a one- or three-year license. For a dog to qualify for a three-year license, the current rabies vaccination certificate must be valid for at least 24 months at the time of application. There is no fee to license a service dog. An added benefit to licensing, doing so helps control and prevent the spread of rabies since proof of a current rabies vaccination is required as part of the application process. Find more information on dog licenses at www.a2gov.org/doglicense.

Dogs must be secured with a held leash at city parks, schools, in neighborhoods, downtown, etc. Does your pup prefer off-leash play? Exercise, socializing and fun are in store at Broadway, Olson and Swift Run off-leash dog parks. Please note, to ensure safety, dogs must be licensed and have a permit to play at the city's dog parks. Learn more at www.a2gov.org/dogparks.

And last, but certainly not least ? Please pick up what is left behind. Not picking up your dog?s droppings violates the city?s sanitation nuisance ordinance. It?s also just not very neighborly! If you and your dog plan to stray away from your yard, please be sure to bring along bags so you may properly dispose of any droppings in the trash (never with compost refuse and never in storm drains!).

More information is also available on the city?s animal control webpage at [link removed].
