The aim is to develop ;) environment of collaboration aroundmajor areas of cono out of which a wide range of collaborative efforts coulde'velop. It is both a complement and supplement to the traditional methods of consultations, grants, contracts, and joint instittltions. The traditional methods are generally based on a service-agency/ client relation, jhere the client has clearly defined needs and the service institution a clearly defined capability ofrespond= ing to these needs. The Hearings method is based on a collaborative-consortial arrange- ment, where the partners have a broad general concern and where neither the specific needs or capability of responding are clearly defined. The Hearings are an effort to provide the environment where needs and capabilities are clearly defined and where the issues can be joined. This is the report on these hearings. The Hearings were one of four elements funded through a National Science Foundation Grant give:. jointly to the City of Detroit, the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, for the purpose of developing consortial means ofcollaboration in dealing with city problems and making available scientific knowledge and personnel for that purpose. -5- 6 The other three elements will be described in another report. They were : First, the development of 14 policy option papers prepared by academic experts in response to a list of issues prepared by the city. Second, a survey of records and perSonnel regarding WSU-City, UoDIM-City, and City DoBA,WSU grants, contracts, and consult- ation arrange1,2nts regarding city problems over the past ten years. Third, A review of the literature dealing with University-City collaborative models and the related experience. The four activities are cathined into a report to NSF and to the participants of the four elements. The project was designed to provide immediate collaboration of City and University on a series of issues, see what the pattern and success of previous relations had been, find out what we know from the literature about collaborative models in other cities, and by means of the hearings, develop a new model of collaboration. In this report we describe how the hearings were organized, what happened at the hearings, and what is coming out of that experience. In addition we provide a brief description of collaborative projects which are coming out of the hearings and which will need funding support. We would like to thank the National Science Foundation for this unique opportunity and the prithe investigators of this project -- Anthony DiVeto, William Haber, and Ronald Haughten (for the City, University of Michigan, Wayne State University) -- Richard Simmons Jr., John Musial, Sue Smock, Mary Clayton, Ed Cushman fran the Center for Urban Studies ; Stephen Whithey of the Institute for Social Research, Larry Berlin and Bill Cave of the Department of Adult and Continuing Education of the University of Michigan; John DeWitt, Eric Fenster, James Anderson, Eric Bockstael, Chris Johnson, Richard Place, and Charles Parrish of Wayne State University; and Michael Usdan President of the Merrill-Palmer Institute , for the organizational assistance and participation without which this program would never have come about. Finally we would like to thank Wendy Seay , Gary Saganski, and Judith Strange for their critical help, and the many others who presented papers, ideas, and suggestions. -6- TRR HEARINGS PROCESS The Hearings Process consists of five (5) stages: 1. Selection of Subject Areas 2_ Organization of Hearing 3. Invitation to Participants and Public 4. Holding of the Hearing 5. Follow-Up The purpose of the hearing format should be clearly spelled out. We did this in the working papers which were given to all part- icipants and are included in the appendix. "The Hearings are an experiment designed to meet one of the major concerns arising out of the new literature dealing with City-University collaboration. Briefly stated, this concern is based on two realities the difficulty the city finds in using many urban-oriented human and material resources of the University and the difficulty the University has in organizing these resources to meet specific city needs. It is also an effort at identifying more long run areas of mutual collaboration." Selection of Subject Areas Once the idea of testing the hearing format was accepted by the consortial partners (the City of Detroit, the University of Michigan, and Wayne State University) the question was what subject areas should be selected for this format. We used the following criteria. First, areas of known concern to both University and City personnel where individual or collective collaboration was minimal; Second, areas of known concern where the hearing format might provide an environment for city and university people finding partners for consultations, grant proposals, etc., that is basically one-to-one collaboration;

Quaife and ourselves. We felt it should be given wider distribution than was the author's intention when the project was begun. Mr. Moran wrote the book for his children and their children, as he so charmingly states in his Introduction. He refused to believe with us, that the mass of new material concerning Detroit's past captured ·into his narrative made the book an important addition to the Americana of Detroit and Michigan. We argued, too, that his boy"s,eye view of Detroit in transition from a City of Homes, in his eighteen--eighties, into Industry's Metropolis when the century turned is the kind of source record from which future historians will gather their information. ""And, equally important, it is splendid reading for today,.,., we said. ""But, I"m a novice at writing," quoth J. Bell Moran. "Thank the Angels for that, if that" s what you are," we murmured right back at him. That we won our way is evident. You have the book before you.

  • Public Lighting Depa,Rtment Capital
    (J PUBLIC LIGHTING DEPA,RTMENT CAPITAL 0 u Public Lighting Department AGENCY MISSION The mission of the Public Lighting Department (PLD) is to support the Public Lighting Authority (PLA) as it maintains the upgraded street light system. PLD works with TMC Alliance and DTE Energy (DTE) to assure the safety of the general public and to provide reliable power to customers through the City's distribution system as the City assists with converting customers to DTE's system. On February 5, 2013, the PLA was created pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012. The PLA is separate municipal authority with the mission to improve, modernize and maintain the street lighting infrastructure in the City of Detroit with brighter, more reliable, more energy efficient lights. It is a completely separate legal entity from the City of Detroit. In 2014, the PLA issued debt obligations of$185 million to fund street lighting improvements. Pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012, Utility Users' taxes of $12.5 million annually will be utilized to repay this debt issue. Through an inter-local agreement, the City provides additional funds to the PLA to finance the operations and maintenance of the lighting system. On July 1, 2014 the City entered into the Energy Delivery Services Agreement (EDSA) with DTE to transition electric customers to DTE. The agreement stipulates the City will allow PLD customers to become DTE customers and that the City will exit the electric business over a five to seven year period. During this transition period, the City, through its contraccqr will operate and maintain the electric grid with DTE reimbursing the City and its contractor for all expenses related to the delivery of electrical power.
