M (P.C) m ^ m m 11^ i,f ^ ^ f . v x * s w \ ^ v v v ^ ^ + Thursday, July 28, 1977 : ^ f v T*-* «s ***** Candidates debate housing, parking, economic growth Downtown development, parking and 9enior citizen housing are the major issues being discussed by the candidates for the Plymouth City Commission Eight of the 11 candidates spoke to those issues at last week's candidates night in city hall co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Northville, Plymouth, Canton, Novi and the Plymouth branch of the American Association of University Women. Jim Houk, who was out of town, had an excused absence. Mayor Joe Bida was expected but didn't show while James Arlen didn't respond to the invitation to appear IN AN OPENING statement, Mary CJulds said the commission should be concerned with cost of government and the quality of life for all citizens, especially for senior citizens and the handicapped "This past year the city commission reduced millage by nine-tenths of a mill, but we aren't immune to rising costs and must continue to find ways to reduce costs of services or perhaps the services themselves. We held six meetings on the budget this year, and must continue that kind of critical review of the budget. "The administration must continue to be alert to see that we get our full share of revenue sharing funds and we need to improve the tax base by promoting viable business in town." In seeking to augment existing programs for senior citizens, said Mrs Child, the commission should take a close look at Dial-A-Ride and other forms of transporation. "We also need to find housing solu- Uons for senior citizens. During the referendum election, there was talk of an alternative to the Forest-Dillon project. .Unfortunately the alternative to the ballot proposal hasn't yet surfaced. "A municipal parking commission is being established, and when it makes recommendations, the city commission must make important decisions on location of parking and methods of payment." MARK WEHMEYER defined his opening statement as his "going in" position, but added he will look at all the facts and won't take any hardnosed positions on any issues "We must control expenditures to make sure taxes won't rise any faster than property values In the past 10 years my taxes have gone up 24 times, but my property values certainly haven't doubled. This is the most important factor the commission must deal with because property values will drop everytime taxes get out of hand "In Plymouth low-income families can live here in pleasant surroundings, and that's unique. But they will be denied that opportunity unless taxes are kept down " Wehmeyer said a community action program is needed to make people aware of problems and encourage them to help. "Most people will help if only a week or two are involved. They just don't want to get stuck with a year or more. "We must determine the need for parking and senior housing based on studies And I don't think the need for either has been established yet positively by any of the studies. The commission, once it gets a study, should go over each point separately and then take some kind of action. I am against multi-level parking and high-rise housing—they shouldn't be inflicted on Plymouth "We also need a master recreation plan for all ages of residents. "Hut our first priority ought to be to control spending to keep taxes in line " the GOSPEL t r i e r s i in (OIICERT mi v in JULY JU CNMCN Of CMIUST ?

Tins is above and beyond the dust Housing on upswing "Please don't tell me that we are getting a million dollar highway." she continued, "because I'm getting a two million dollar breakdown Pom lack of sleep " MRS. MULLIGAN complained that both Plymouth and Livonia have construction starting times of 7 a m She wanted to know if the township couldn't "get in step" and pass a similar ordinance. Trustee Frank Millington. who also lives near the expressway, said he h;id gotten used to the noise and sleeps very well. "Try it in your backyard." responded Mrs. Mulligan from the audience." Deputy Clerk Marv Kllen Kenvon asked if Mrs Mulligan's complaint could be taken care of through an existing township ordinance limiting the level of noise in public But Trustee Richard CJornick said that particular ordinance had to do with federal noise regulations and didn't limit when the noise could take place Notebaert commented that he Canton an area leader in housing In an indication of economic recovery. residential building permits in 1976 were 24 3 per cent higner than in 1975 The Southeast Michigan Council of (iovernments reported that 19 642 building permits were issued in the seven-countv region Canton Township again ranked among the top 10 communities in residential construction.
