The Chairman stated that he had called the Special Meeting under the authority vested
in the Chairman as provided under Section V of the Corporate By -Laws for the purpose of
considering a request of the Wayne County Economic Development Corporation to consider
the Economic Development Corporation of Livonia's endorsement of their applicant, the
Stolaruk Corporation, Troy, Michigan Economic Development project. Mr. Hanson, was
introduced and explained that Wayne County E.D.C. in the future would no longer consider
any further applications from applicants who may be considering a project to be located
in Livonia, however, the applicant under consideration at this meeting had filed their
application prior to the creation of the Economic Development Corporation of Livonia.
Both Mr. Fechheimer and Mr. Anderson, representing the applicant, responded to questions
relative to the plans of the Stolaruk Corporation put to them by various Directors.
On a motion by Mr.. Helmkamp, supported by Mr. Telman, it was
RESOLVED, that the Stolaruk Corporation, a Michigan corporation,
applied to the Economic Development Corporation of the County of Wayne
("County EDC") for assistance in connection with a project proposed to be
located in the City of Livonia ("Project"). That application was submitted
15
to the County EDC prior to the incorporation of the Economic Corpora-
tion of the City of Livonia ("Livonia EDC") and the County EDC acted
favorably with respect to the Project.
Because the Project application was originally submitted to the
County EDC, and the County EDC did substantial work with respect to the
Project prior to the formation of the Livonia EDC, it would be expedi-
tious for the Project to continue to be processed and assisted by the
County EDC.
Accordingly, the Board adopts the following resolution:
Pursuant to Section 6 of the Economic Development Corporation
Act, Act 338, Public Acts of Michigan, 1974, as amended, the Livonia EDC
consents to County EDC jurisdiction for the Stolaruk Corporation Project,
and recommends that the Governing Body of Livonia also consent to the
County EDC jurisdiction.
0n a motion by Mr. Bacon, supported by Mrs. Kavanaugh, it was
#79-23 RESOLVED, that the foregoing resolution, which would consent to
Wayne County EDC jurisdiction for the Stolaruk Corporation Project, be
tabled, and the Secretary directed to place the matter on the Agenda
for the Regular Meeting of September 13, 1979.
A roll call vote was taken on the foregoing motion with the following result:
AYES: Helmkamp, Jankowski, Kavanaugh, Mardiros, Telman and Bacon.
NAYS: Hand.
The Chairman declared the resolution adopted.
0n a motion by Mr. Bacon, supported by Mr. Helmkamp, and unanimously
adopted, it was
#79-24 RESOLVED, that this Special Meeting be adjourned at approximately
8:10 P. M., August 30, 1979.
