President of the Council at 4 01 p m
Roll was called with the following result: Meakin, Kokenakes,

A communication from Jennifer M Granholm, Governor of the State of
two
Michigan, dated September 8, 2005, re proposed amendment to the Livonia City
Charter, was received and placed on file for the information of the Council
Following is the text of the Governor's letter as read into the minutes by
Councilmember Donald Knapp
Val Vandersloot, Clerk
City of Livonia
33000 Civic Center Drive
Livonia, MI 48154
Dear Ms Vandersloot:
I am writing regarding your request for approval of a proposed amendment to the
Livonia City Charter A resolution proposing the charter amendment was approved by the Livonia
City Council at its meeting held on June 8, 2005 The resolution indicated the proposal would be
submitted to the electors at a special election on September 13, 2005 On July 6, 2005, the proposed
charter amendment was readopted with a new date, November 8, 2005, for submission to the
electors
The proposed charter amendment authorizes the city (if the city first withdraws from
the Wayne County Transportation Authority which funds are currently used in part for the operation of
Minutes of the Special Meeting of September 9, 2005 39323
the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation) to levy and collect annually starting July
1, 2006, an additional tax of up to one-half of a mill I have examined the charter amendment
thoroughly and cannot approve it at this time The price of gasoline is at an all-time high in our state
due to Hurricane Katrina and resulting interruptions in the flow of petroleum products. A regional
transportation system in Wayne County offers citizens in the area a potential way of saving on
gasoline and other transportation costs Further, the proposed charter amendment would authorize
an additional tax on the citizens of Livonia to duplicate transportation services already in place and
benefiting the entire region
Adoption of the proposed charter amendment would have far-reaching implications
for the citizens of Livonia. I recognize and respect the right of all citizens to have a say in the
decisions that affect their every day lives. While I cannot approve this city council-initiated proposal
for additional taxes that could jeopardize the success of regional transportation services, the Home
Rule City Act provides that a charter amendment proposed by initiatory petition must be submitted to
the electors, notwithstanding any objections Also, under Section 22 of the Home Rule City Act, the
city council may reconsider the proposal and, if passed by two-thirds of the members-elect, submit it
to the voters, notwithstanding any objections
Sincerely yours,
Jennifer M Granholm

is the "heavy-hand of government trying to prevent the voters from their right to self-
determination"

again
Councilmember Godfroid-Marecki spoke and said she believes the Governor is
promoting her own political views, and she will also vote to support this resolution
again
