On Wednesday, May 15th, City Council held its 4th Capital Outlay and Infrastructure meeting to discuss the future plans for Livonia’s City Center. Find a summary of the previous meetings here: https://voterunservelivonia.com/…/capital-outlay…/

This meeting went over the next steps to pursue a bond for a new City Hall. Money from the general fund to pay for the bond will come from cost savings related to moving city retirees to a Medicare Advantage Plan ($2.4M annually).

Next steps:

The administration will bring forward a new contract request for Plante Moran Realpoint for Phases 3 & 4 of the City Center project. This item will be discussed at a future committee meeting

Notice of Intent for a bond will be voted on by Council in late July or early August. A Notice of Intent is a public document that summarizes the bond request. Residents have 45 days to respond to it, if there are no moves to stop the bond it would then be an option for the City to issue at a future date

A Bond ordinance would be passed. The bond request amount could range from $36M to $42M and the annual payments would be made from the $2.4M Medicare Advantage savings noted above

A site plan would go to Planning Commission and City Council for approval (as soon as 2025)
