1. Approved the agenda as presented.
2. Opened the floor for public comments on agenda items.
3. Held a discussion regarding the Personnel Committee’s recommendation of a $300 a month Wellness Stipend for qualified Village of Ortonville employees; such a stipend could potentially help employees to secure health insurance. The Village could not force the employees to use it on health insurance, but the intent of the Council is for employees to have it available for insurance or wellness programs for themselves and their families. Individual employees would seek out insurance and would have this money available to use. An employer group plan was not a Cost-effective option. The total spent on this stipend for all eligible employees would be $14,400.00, which is a fraction of the group plan cost.
4. Established a Wellness Stipend to be available to eligible employees, with a total not to exceed $14,400.00.

Village of Ortonville
PUBLIC NOTICE
The Village of Ortonville has proposed an amendment to Section 6.104, which covers the exemption of single family residential properties from requiring a site plan reviewed by the Planning Commission when doing construction or improvements. The amendment clarifies that every project, including single family residential properties, will receive administrative review by the Village Building Official. The amendment also extends the exemption to other types of properties for certain small scale projects that do not impact neighboring properties, constitute a change of use or require an enlargement of an existing structure or use on the property.
A public hearing was held on August 4, 2015, in conjunction with the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. The proposed amendment was introduced to the Village Council by first reading on August 24, 2015. It will be read a second time and considered for adoption at the September 28, 2015, Village Council meeting held at 7:00 p.m. in the Brandon Township Offices, 395 Mill Street, Ortonville, MI 48462.
Section 6.104 is proposed to be amended to read as follows:
Section 6.104 EXEMPTION FROM SITE PLAN REVIEW BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION
A site plan shall not be required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission with respect to proposed construction or improvement of individual detached single-family dwellings units and accompanying accessory buildings, except as otherwise specifically required by this Ordinance. All projects involving single family dwellings will receive an administrative review by the Building Official for ordinance compliance.
Further, a site plan may receive an Administrative Review for certain small scale projects that do not impact neighboring properties, constitute a change of use or require an enlargement of an existing structure or use on the property. The Building Official with the concurrence of the Village Manager may approve certain small scale site plans without submission to the Planning Commission. In those cases, the Building Official shall submit a written report of every site plan submitted. This shall contain a synopsis of the relevant facts in and related to the site plan together with the proposed determination. The report shall be submitted to the Planning Commission at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
The Building Official or the applicant shall have the option to request Planning Commission consideration of site plans eligible for administrative review for the normal Planning Commission fee. All appeals of administrative site plan decisions made by the Building Official shall be made to the Planning Commission.
All residential and small scale administrative reviews will require only a Sketch Plan Review with less detailed information and at a level only necessary to verify compliance with the applicable ordinance standards.
To view a copy of the current Zoning Ordinance, you may visit the Village office, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or you may download a copy by visiting www.ortonvillevillage.com and selecting the ‘Forms and Permits? tab. If you have questions, you may call the Village at 248-627-4976 or stop by the office.

Dangerous Animals
90.50 Definitions
(1) ‘Dangerous Animal? shall mean any of the following:
(a) Any mammal, amphibian, fish, reptile, or fowl of a species which due to size, vicious nature or other characteristics would constitute a danger to human life or physical well-being or to animals.

(c) Any animal owned or kept primarily or in part for the purpose of fighting, or any animal trained or bred for fighting.
(d) Any animal which is urged by its owner or keeper to attack, or whose owner or keeper threatens to cause such animal to attack, any law enforcement officer while such officer is engaged in the performance of official duty and when such animal has the apparent ability to cause injury or harm to such officer.
(e) A dog or other animal that bites or attacks a person, or a dog that bites or attacks and causes serious injury or death to another dog or animal, while the other dog or animal is on the property or under the control of its owner.

(ii) An animal that bites or attacks a person who provokes or torments the animal;

(6) ‘Serious Injury? means permanent, serious disfigurement, serious impairment of health, or serious impairment of bodily function of a person.
90.51 Regulations

(2) No person shall permit an animal that has a registered bite/attack record through the Oakland County Animal Control Department to go outside its kennel or pen unless such animal is securely muzzled by a muzzling device sufficient to prevent such animal from biting a person or other animals.
(3) All dangerous animals shall be securely confined indoors, or if outdoors, in a securely enclosed pen, kennel, or fence, which pen, kennel or fence shall be no shorter than six (6) feet in height, when not leashed as above provided.

Notice of public hearing on election law changes
attention all village residents and qualified electors
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Ortonville Village Council will hold a PUBLIC HEARING on Monday, December 13, 2004 at 7:00 PM, at the Old Town Hall at 486 Mill Street, Ortonville, MI 48462, to receive public comment on:
(1) Whether the Village Council should adopt a Resolution to hold the Village’s regular election on the first Tuesday after the second Monday in September of odd numbered years, commencing in September 2005. If such a Resolution is not adopted, the Village’s regular election will be held at the November General Election in even numbered years, commencing in November 2006.
(2) Whether the Village Council should consider an Ordinance that would amend Ordinance NO. 56, to provide for all Trustees to serve two year terms rather than four year staggered terms as currently provided.
These issues are being considered pursuant to amendments to the Michigan Election Law, referred to as the ‘Election Consolidation Law? that no longer allow the Village to hold its regular election in March of each year. Because the law does not allow the terms of current Council members to be shortened, the first regular Village election at which members of Council will be elected will be either November of 2006 or September of 2007.
A proposed Resolution regarding the above issues that may be adopted by majority roll call vote of the Village Council immediately after the close of the Public Hearing is on file and available for inspection at the Village Offices during normal office hours. If you have any questions regarding this issue please contact Clerk, Mary E. Clark at the Village Office during normal office hours.

notice of public hearing on
election law changes
attention all village residents and qualified electors
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Ortonville Village Council will hold a PUBLIC HEARING on Monday, December 13, 2004 at 7:00 PM, at the Old Town Hall at 486 Mill Street, Ortonville, MI 48462, to receive public comment on:
(1) Whether the Village Council should adopt a Resolution to hold the Village’s regular election on the first Tuesday after the second Monday in September of odd numbered years, commencing in September 2005. If such a Resolution is not adopted, the Village’s regular election will be held at the November General Election in even numbered years, commencing in November 2006.
(2) Whether the Village Council should consider an Ordinance that would amend Ordinance NO. 56, to provide for all Trustees to serve two year terms rather than four year staggered terms as currently provided.
These issues are being considered pursuant to amendments to the Michigan Election Law, referred to as the ‘Election Consolidation Law? that no longer allow the Village to hold its regular election in March of each year. Because the law does not allow the terms of current Council members to be shortened, the first regular Village election at which members of Council will be elected will be either November of 2006 or September of 2007.
A proposed Resolution regarding the above issues that may be adopted by majority roll call vote of the Village Council immediately after the close of the Public Hearing is on file and available for inspection at the Village Offices during normal office hours. If you have any questions regarding this issue please contact Clerk, Mary E. Clark at the Village Office during normal office hours.
