I. Project Justification and Support
This project includes improvements to the existing Grand River Park

located in Lansing, MI. Currently, Grand River Park is the location of several
boating clubs and also includes a boat launch/ramp. The park is 42 acres in size
and has significant open space and river frontage that are under utilized. This
project proposes to construct a non-motorized trail that will provide access to the
natural features of the site and also access to the Grand River via a fishing
pier/observation platform. Furthermore, as shown on page 87 of the 2010-2015
recreation plan, Lansing River Trail access will be extended to Grand River Park
which would link the park to other existing parks and recreation opportunities
along the trail network.
Please see pages 38-41 of the Lansing 2010-2015 recreation plan for a
list and description of past recreation grants the community has received. Also,
see pages 18-19 for a description of collaboration with adjacent communities and
school districts. Finally, please see page 58-69 for an explanation of the public
input process which includes comments from various stakeholder groups
regarding priorities within the community relating to parks and recreation
development.
Based on the comments from the public input process, the top priorities
included an interurban bikeway that would integrate parks and trails as well as
improve access to the Grand River. This project accomplishes both of these top
priorities by connecting to the proposed Waverly Road Regional Trail network
that will connect Grand River Park to numerous existing parks within Lansing and
by providing access to the Grand River via a fishing/observation platform.
II. Project Description
The proposed project includes the construction of approximately 1 mile of

non-motorized trail and a fishing pier/observation platform. The routing of the
path was determined to minimize the impact of construction on the natural
resources of the site while also following topography that would allow for ADA
accessibility and minimize site disruption. To ensure universal access
opportunities of the proposed project, the trail surface will be paved with asphalt
to go above and beyond ADA requirements to ensure easy access to all areas of
the site. Permeable pavement options will be considered, however for this
project permeable pavements are not expected to be cost effective. The
proposed fishing pier/scenic overlook will include a wooden boardwalk supported
on helical piers (which create little to no environmental impact) that will extend
into the Grand River that will allow wheelchair users to easily access the river.
Using the wooden boardwalk will also minimize the grading along the shoreline
which can be considered an environmentally friendly solution to protect the
riparian habitats. As part of the current recreation plan, this project has been
publicized tremendously to gain support from the community. Public meetings,
social media, print media, broadcast media and mailings to neighborhood
associations have all been used to promote the project. The Grand River Park
Trail will connect to the proposed Waverly Regional Trail which will link Grand
River Park to the Lansing River Trail system and numerous City of Lansing
Parks. The trail will be designed in accordance with all AASHTO and ADA
design standards which include provisions on trail width, trail slopes, and
maneuverability.
Ill. Natural Resource Access and Protection
The most significant natural feature on site is the Grand River. Grand
River Park offers more than 4,000 feet of natural shoreline. Currently the park is
primarily used as a boat launch for water based recreation opportunities by
several boat clubs, Michigan State University, and the general public. There is a
significant portion of the site that has not been developed and is densely covered
with forest and shrub vegetation. This large, undeveloped wooded portion of the
site will provide recreation opportunities such as hiking and wildlife observation.
Also, increased fishing opportunities will be realized along the undeveloped
shoreline as well as on the proposed fishing platform. This project is included as
part of the City of Lansing's Non-Motorized Transportation Plan which serves to
promote green infrastructure by providing alternative modes of transportation to
area residents.
IV. Other Information
***Need explanation of circumstances under which Lansing closed, sold,

or transferred control of any parklands or recreation facilities within the park
system.***

Council President A'Lynne Robinson

and Members of the Lansing City Council
Tenth Floor City Hall
Dear President Robinson and Councilmembers:
The Elected Officers Compensation Commission (EOCC) met in

committee during February and March 2011. The EOCC reviewed
internal economic and financial documents and the current salary and
benefit compensation packages of the Mayor, City Clerk, and members of
the City Council. In addition, the EOCC compared various salary
structures held by like officers in comparable communities across
Michigan. The EOCC received written recommendations from the Mayor
and received written documentation from City Clerk Chris Swope.
Council President A' Lynne Robinson and Councilmember Derrick
Quinney provided written information. City Clerk Chris Swope
addressed the EEOC in person. Public comments were received.
Our recommendation is based on the National and State economic

climate, the resulting financial condition of the City, our review of
executive and legislative responsibilities, and comparisons with other
communities. We also considered the compensation history and the 2009
recommendation, which reduced fringe benefits, reduced the Mayor's
salary and increased the City Clerk's salary.
Our recommendation makes no changes to the compensation provided to

elected officials. The compensation is comparable to other legislative
bodies of similar size in Michigan. We also recognize that the salaries of
our elected officials have not been increased since 2002. This is in
keeping with the Mayor's recommendation of no change. (Note: Due to a
clerical error, our 2009 Recommendation was incorrect. The below
Recommendation reflects the actual 2009 recommended salaries, which
no changes for 2011.)
1
Recommendation
Salaries
The Commission determines that annual salaries shall be as follows:
Mayor: $101,650
Clerk: $ 72,555
Council President $ 22,200
Council Vice President $ 20,950
Councilmember $ 20,200
Fringe Benefits
The Commission adopts by reference the Elected Officials Summary of

Fringe Benefits 2011, attached. The benefits are to be continued for the
elected officials as set forth therein.
Other Compensation
It is acknowledged that none of the elected officers earn compensatory,

vacation, or sick time, and upon termination, they are not entitled to any
compensation for the same.
Transmittal
We, the members of the Elected Officers Compensation Commission,

respectfully, adopt the collective determinations now transmitted.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR VIRGIL BERNERO

FROM: HELEN KEENEY - CHAIRPERSON, FIRE BOARD COMMISSION
SUBJECT: YEAR END REPORT - 2010
DATE: 03/24/2011
CC: FIRE BOARD COMMISSIONERS
The Lansing Board of Fire Commissioners respectively submits the summary

report of the Lansing Fire Department activity for the 2010 calendar year.
Chief Cochran continues to provide excellent leadership and direction to the

Lansing Fire Department. He keeps the Fire Board of commissioners well aware of
upcoming events, and invites us to attend and participate in all. The Chiefs participation
in Community activities is very much appreciated by the Fire Board of Commissioners
and the Lansing Citizens alike.
There were 15 retirements of fire personnel in 2010. None of these were

replaced with the new hires.
The Fire Marshal Division visited several schools; speaking to 5,500 students;
stressing the importance of Home Safety.
Over 200 Lansing residents (adults as well as many children) attended the 2010
open houses, all getting the very important message of: having WORKING Fire and
Carbon Monoxide Alarms in their homes. They also learned hands on, about Fire
Trucks, Ambulances etc. Anyone wishing to do so even got a chance to hold and spray
water from a Fire Hose.
The Lansing Fire Department responded to 16,769 incidents in 2010. They are
pleased to say that there were No Fire Fatalities reported in 2010.
The Lansing Office of Emergency Management, a Division of the Lansing Fire

Department continues to offer a proactive approach to an all hazard event, natural,
man-made or terrorism in nature which requires the Office of Emergency Management
to prepare our community and its first responder agencies through plan development,
training and exercising. Their preparedness initiatives with our community partnerships
have made Lansing's Office of Emergency Management leaders throughout the State of
Michigan in preparedness.

RE: Historic District Study Committee Preliminary Report
Dear Mayor Bernero:
Enclosed for your review is the Historic District Study Committee Preliminary Report regarding the
establishment of a local historic district at the former First Methodist Church (AKA Old Town Temple),
502 E. Grand River Ave. This preliminary report is also being transmitted to the State Historic
Preservation Office and the Lansing Planning Board in accordance with Section 1220(03) of the
Codified Ordinances.
This historic district proposal was initiated by Alan Hooper of the Old Town Temple, LLC, primarily for
the purpose of making federal and state Historic Preservation Tax Credits available for the
development. These tax credits cover 25% of the approved rehabilitation expenses, provided that the
work is completed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation (also
enclosed).
We anticipate holding a public hearing on this proposal on or about Monday, June 6, 2011, at a
meeting of the Study Committee and Historic District Commission. After the public hearing,
comments on the preliminary report will be addressed in a final report, which will be submitted to you
upon completion for City Council consideration.
A final report is the one that requires Council action (consideration of an ordinance) but you are
certainly welcome to transmit courtesy copies of this preliminary report to the City Council for their
information.

First United Methodist Episcopal Church

502 E. Grand River
Pursuant to Section 399.203 of Public Act 169 of 1970 (PA 169), as amended, Michigan 's Local Historic
Districts Act.
Chargeofthe Committee
The City of Lansing's City Council passed Resolution #2010-208 on June 28, 2010 to establish the historic
district study committee for the former First United Methodist Episcopal/Bethlehem Temple Church.
The committee was asked to study a single resource local historic district at the location of the former
home of the First Methodist Episcopal Church and the Bethlehem Temple. The building is located at the
southeast corner of Grand River Avenue and Cedar Street in North Lansing.
Composition ofthe Committee Membership
Phil Mondro has served on several historic district study committees in Lansing. He is currently the chair
of the Historic District Commission.
Cassandra Nelson has a Master's Degree in Historic Preservation and is a former preservation specialist
for the Michigan Department of Transportation. Ms. Nelson currently serves on the Historic District
Commission and served on the Marshall Street Armory Historic District Committee.
Kara Wood is a former staff member of the Lansing Economic Development Corporation and has
initiated the successful nomination of downtown Lansing to the National Register of Historic Places. Ms.
Wood also served on the Marshall Street Armory Historic District Committee.
Alan Hooper is a member of Old Town Temple, LLC, which owns the proposed historic district. He has
conducted extensive research on the history and architecture of the building prior to acquiring it and
proposing it for designation as a local historic district.
Name of the Proposed District
The proposed district is named the "Old First Methodist Church".
Written and Visual Boundaries of the District
The legal parcel number for the property is 33-01-01-09-427-002 which is further described as:
LOTS 5, 6 & W 1/2 LOT 4 BLOCK 15 ORIG PLAT
The property is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Grand River Avenue and Cedar
Street. The visual boundaries of the property are depicted on Figure 1- Proposed Historic District
Boundaries.
2
Boundary Justification
The proposed boundaries are consistent with the approximate boundaries of the original 1918 property
boundaries.
History of the Proposed District
The history of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Lansing dates back to the 1840s. The original
church members met in a building on the North side of Wall Street (now Maple) between Cedar and
Center Streets. The building was jointly owned and occupied by the Methodists and a congregation of
Presbyterians. The Presbyterians eventually moved on and built a new church in 1852 at the northwest
corner of Washington and Franklin (now Grand River Avenue). The Methodists continued at their
original location until 1868 when they began construction of a new wooden church in the proposed
historic district site. James Turner, a prominent figure in the settlement and development of Lansing,
was a founding member of the church. His wife Marion served as the present of the Ladies Aid Society,
which frequently hosted ice cream socials to raise money for the church. Unfortunately, Mr. Turner
died of typhoid at the age of 49 before the first building was completed on the proposed historic district
site in 1870. (Hall, 1946, p. 3)
3
The wooden church building was home to the congregation until 1904 when "the necessity of a new
church building became very apparent about this time as the growth of this part of the city was so rapid
as to require better church and Sunday school facilities," (Hall, 1946, p. 4). The new church was built on
the same site as the old one and dedicated in February 1905. This church was a more impressive
building than the original wooden church, having been constructed of stone with an impressive tower
and many beautiful stained glass windows.
In 1917, newspaper headlines were largely focused on the war in Europe. The United States had not
intervened in the war under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson. However, in early 1917
before the U.S .declared war, the Germans increased their offensive efforts and began to attack even
merchant ships with their submarines. After German submarines sank seven U.S. merchant ships and
evidence of their attempt to coax Mexico into war against us surfaced, the U.S. declared war on April 6,
1917. Ten days earlier, the First Methodist Episcopal Church laid the cornerstone for a new brick church
at the southeast corner of Franklin (now Grand River Avenue) and Cedar Streets. Since the 1905 stone
church building was completed, North Lansing continued to grow. In just 12 years, the congregation's
needs had outgrown the substantial new stone building. The new brick church was to be the third and
final building that the congregation would build on the property.
On April 3, 1918, Lansing's newspaper, The State Journal, contained a prominent article featuring the
new church building. The headline declared "CHURCH WILL BE FREED FROM DEBT WITH LIBERTY
BONDS." April 7, 1918, one day after the first anniversary of the U.S. entry into the war, known as
"Liberty Sunday," the church was dedicated. The day was called Liberty Sunday because the
government had just issued the third series of Liberty Bonds to raise money for the war effort. Buying a
bond was everyone's patriotic duty. The members of the congregation had pledged their purchases of
previous bond issues to the church to pay off the debt associated with the new construction.
4
It's doubtful that James Turner could have conceived the modern conveniences that his church would
come to enjoy. The new building featured amenities that included heating and cooling, intercoms,
drinking fountains and indoor plumbing, electric fixtures, a print shop, eleven Sunday school class
rooms, and an auditorium. The Reverend G.V. Wade, was quoted with pride that the building was
constructed in the midst of the hardships of war using construction materials that were purchased
entirely in Lansing. He also was proud of his 350 member congregation, which was comprised primarily
of working people employed in Lansing factories.
The church features a classical portico with four steel pillars and a dentillated cornice. The stained glass
windows from the 1904 stone church were reused inside the building and most are still present.
Additionally, the building features stained glass windows on all four sides, with more than 31 on the
front (Grand River facing) facade alone. Many of the windows display the names of prominent church
members, organizations, and leaders. Notable names include Mrs. Marion Turner, The Junior League of
Lansing, and the Reverend Doty.
According to The Bicentennial History of Ingham County, Michigan, the building's bricks were from the
Beale brickyards located to the northeast of the intersection of Larch and Oakland. This yard was said to
have furnished the bricks for many public buildings and private residences for "...the length and breadth
of the city," (Ceaser, 1967, pp. 223-224). Some of these prominent buildings included the old Central
Methodist Church (northwest corner of Washington and Ottawa), the Universalist Church, the Catholic
Church (on the corner of Chestnut and Madison), and the Grange Building located at 1250 Turner Street
(now home to the Esquire bar).
As the First Methodist Church enjoyed its new building, its congregation continued to grow. A Sunday
Service program (attached) dated April 16, 1939 indicates that every Sunday church school began at
5
10:00am, followed by a Public Worship Service at 11:00am In the evening, a 6:00pm Devotional Hour
was held by the Intermediate League at the same time as The Epworth League 's Sunday evening
fellowship. At 7:00pm a Pleasant Sunday evening service was held with music from a 40-member junior
choir. Notices and news items contained in the program indicate that the building was also used
throughout the week for a variety of purposes including a: Boy Scouts weekly meeting, Girl Reserves
meeting, family church night co-operative supper, and choir rehearsals.
In 1946, the First Methodist Church celebrated its centennial in Lansing which was observed from
October 20 until October 27, 1946. In the pamphlet, The History of the First Methodist Church 1846-
1946, the church's active membership was reported to be 743 and the church's school, men's club,
women's society, and youth groups were said to "...face the coming years with high vision and lofty
idealism" (Hall, 1946, p. 6).
The First Methodist Church began to explore relocation options in 1959 due to "...the changing
community in North Lansing, with highways going through, lack of parking, migration of members to
other parts of Lansing, and long range plans for industrial development, "(First Methodist Church, 1967,
p. 8). In 1962, after they secured a new property at Delta River Drive and Waverly, the building was
listed for sale. Late in 1964, the proposed historic district was sold to the Bethlehem Temple
Congregation for $60,000.
In 1976, the City of Lansing Historic District Study Committee identified the building as being worthy of
preservation for its historic value and included it in their report, Memorandum 76. Cedar Street was
later extended north past Grand River Avenue to form a one-way street with traffic to the south. Larch
Street a block to the west was changed to a northbound one-way. This dramatically changed the
character of the area around the proposed historic district.
The Bethlehem Temple congregation occupied the property through the 1990s until they too outgrew
the space and relocated to south Lansing. The property was purchased by developers and extensive
renovations were made to the interior of the building in order to accommodate reuse of the building as
a nightclub. The Temple Club opened in 2001; the business ran until October 2006. The property was
subsequently in the possession of the creditor bank when it was purchased in 2009 by its current
owners.
Significance of the District
The proposed Old First Methodist Church historic district meets the criteria for eligibility established by
the U.S. Secretary of the Interior on its own merit under the following criteria:
Criterion A: Association with Significant Event or Pattern of History
The Old First Methodist Church historic district is significant under Criterion A for a number of reasons,
including:
• The building structure is a testament to the founding of Lansing. The building symbolizes the
rapid growth, development, and increasing sophistication of the Methodist congregation and
Lansing as a whole.
6
• The building's cornerstone was laid 10 days prior to the United States declaration of war against
Germany. Very few significant buildings were built in 1917. The congregation's sacrifice and
willpower created a magnificent modern building during the hardships of war.
Criterion C: Design and Construction
This 3-story building was built in 1917 by the First Methodist Episcopalian Church. In a March 10, 2011
phone conversation with Bob Christensen, he indicated that the building was designed by Lee Black, a
Lansing based architect. Mr. Black and his son, Kenneth Black, designed many notable buildings in
Lansing. The Old First Methodist Church is a unique building and there are not any other similar
surviving buildings in Lansing.
The main body of the building is rectangular, with a footprint that is roughly 90 feet wide by 60 feet
deep with a 2-story rectangular entrance that is centered on the north facade. This entrance is 40 feet
wide by 8 feet deep featuring four steel, fluted columns standing on stone foundations. The top of the
entrance is capped with a dentillated cornice and molding. The entire building is constructed of brick
that varies in shade from light brown/tan to chocolate brown. The brown brick color is accented by
sharply contrasting white and cream elements including a band of light stone on the building's
foundation, white window sills, white keystones in three prominent window arches, white double
crosses, and a cream colored band of trim below a large cream colored dentillated molding that is
prominent on the east, north, and west building facades. Another distinctive feature of the building is
the extensive use of stained glass. All of the building's 78 windows feature stained glass panes. The
windows on the east, north, and west facades generally feature geometric patterns and are arranged in
regular, symmetrical groups. On the building's south (rear) facade, 2 large stained glass windows are
featured that depict biblical scenes. The building is in good condition with some deterioration of brick on
the south facade and the need for varying amounts of repair of virtually all of the windows. The vast
majority of the building appears to be in its original condition with very little alteration of windows or
cladding materials.
The interior of the building is comprised of 2 primary spaces with several smaller rooms, bathrooms,
common areas, and staircases. On the first floor, the main entrance features a wide, wooden staircase
that leads to a landing and short stairs to the second floor. Past the main entranceway, the first floor
has a hallway that extends from the northeast stairs to the west side of the building. Along the hallway,
four stained glass windows that appear to be from a previous church building that occupied the same
site. There is a large, open room on the first floor with access to smaller rooms on each side and the
building's major bathroom groups on the east side.
The second floor features a large, two-story assembly area that is the central space in the building.
From the assembly area, a two-story sanctuary is present on the east side, two smaller rooms on the
north, and another room to the west. The room to the west was last used as a bar area by a night club
that operated the building and the fixtures are still present. The third floor is a mezzanine level that is
open to the second floor on the west and north sides. Bathrooms are present on the east side of the
third floor. A large amount of original oak woodwork is still present throughout the building, mainly in
7
buildings 2 stairwells and main staircase, the ceiling of the assembly area, door and window trims, and
throughout the mezzanine level.
The building is adjacent to the sidewalks on the north side (Grand River Avenue) and the west side
(Cedar Street). A driveway and parking area are present to the east and south of the building. Brick
retaining walls are present along Cedar Street to the south of the building and along Grand River to the
east. The retaining walls do not appear to be original to the building.

Dear Mayor Bernero:
RE: Proposed Program Objectives and Projected Use of Federal Funds for the
Consolidated Plan, 2011-2016 and Action Plan, FY 2012 (7/1/11-6/30/12)
The City of Lansing is preparing its Five-Year Consolidated Plan, 2011-2016 in conjunction with
the Annual Action Plan FY 2012 (7/1/11 - 6/30/12). The Lansing Planning Board, at their
meeting on March 21, 2011 voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend approval of the Draft
Statement of Proposed Program Objectives and Projected Use of Community Development
Fund Resources for Fiscal Year 2012. A copy of the statement is attached for your review,
which identifies the activities to be undertaken by the City using Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), HOME Program and Emergency Shelter (Solutions) Grant (ESG) Program
Funds commencing July 1, 2011. A public hearing was held before Planning Board on
December 7, 2010. The minutes of the public hearing are attached to this letter for your
information. There were no comments received. The second of three public hearings regarding
the funding allocations was held on February 15, 2011. One person expressed support for the
use of CDBG and HOME funds. Written communication was received in support of the federal
funds. The last hearing will be held before the City Council on April 25, 2011. In addition to the
hearings, public comments will be solicited for a thirty (30) day period beginning with the
publication of a summary of the Plan in the Lansing State Journal in March. The Consolidated
Plan, which is the City's planning application for these programs, must be submitted to the
Department of Housing and Urban Development by May 14, 2011.
The proposed use of funds is based on goals and objectives established for each of the three
(3) programs, and reflects needs identified and commitments made relative to housing and
shelter rehabilitation, weatherization, public improvements and redevelopment activities. The
allocation for public services is limited to 15% of the estimated Community Development Block
Grant at the time the Board took action. The allocations for administration, planning and urban
design and project operations are staff and operating costs related to delivery of not only the
CDBG, HOME and Emergency Shelter Grant Programs, but other State and Federal Programs
as well.
Community Development Block Grant, HOME Program and Emergency Shelter (Solutions)
Grant Program Federal Funds estimated in the amount of $3,255,300 will be budgeted for the
next fiscal year.
Proposed Program Objectives and Projected Use of Federal Funds, FY 2012, Page 2.
Funding levels will not be firm until appropriations are finalized by the Congress of the United
States and grant agreements ordered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
The Planning Board recommends that the Mayor and City Council adopt the Draft Statement of
Proposed Objectives, Goals and Projected Use of Community Development Fund Resources as
part of the budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 for the City of Lansing was made by unanimous
vote. Attached for your information are copies of the minutes of the public hearings on
December 7, 2010 and February 15, 2011 and the March 21, 20110 action taken by the
Planning Board.
Please forward this information to the members of the City Council.
