Bl.Twp. Resident Calls for FORENSIC AUDIT of W&S Funds

Hi All,
I was scanning my online newspaper links and saw this:  WOW!   A must read.  This should go viral.  If you have ways to do social media/ twitter/ etc/  DO IT ! 
A Township resident, David Thomas, wrote a letter to the EDITOR of the Birmingham Eccentric:



http://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/bloomfield-township/2015/12/12/op-ed-bloomfield-township-needs-upfront-water-rates/77142368/

THERE IS A WAY TO COMMENT AFTER THE ARTICLE.... some are already posted....  ADD YOURS.

His last sentence said:  "Please join me in demanding an independent, forensic audit of the S&W funds in Bloomfield Township before there are any transfers or allocations of our money."

Unfortunately, I think the $2.76  Million transfer of FUNDS  quickly occurred after the November 23, 2015  meeting with the approval of a 5 to 2 vote  ... ....with "cleanup"  language for changing the wording of the Retiree Health Care Trust Fund VEBA  being presented at this Monday Dec. 14, 2015 @ 7 pm meeting.  Please come.

However.... it is TIME TO GET A PETITION  started and demand the INDEPENDENT FORENSIC AUDIT  of the Water & Sewer Dept.
 
I'm going to contact Mr. Thomas and perhaps get a petition started.  Want to help? 

Make sure you read it AND pass that article link or this blog link on to other Township residents.

REMINDER: 
This  Monday, Dec. 14, 2015  meeting at the Board of Trustees @ 7 pm....  has A LOT OF AGENDA ITEMS concerning Water and Sewer including  the controversial transfer of
$2.7 Million from the WATER and SEWER Funds into a Retiree Health Care Trust Fund VEBA.






Details of Agenda items can be found in the BOARD PACKET:

DEC. 8 @ 7 pm SIX Public Hearings & More on the Agenda

Hi All,
There is a Board of Trustees meeting on MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2014  @ 7 PM.
It is jam packed.  See the full agenda below.    Use this link to get to the BOARD PACKET FOR DETAILS: http://bloomfieldtwpmi.minutesondemand.com

 Please pass this email on to others in the township.  Thank you.

AGENDAS 3-8:  Public Hearings...   Golling site plan,   block grant,   Bloomfield Adams Manor sewer special assessment,   Kentmoor(s)  subdivision road repaving,  Planet Fitness site plan and 24 hour use,   Granger Development site plan (senior living)
 
AGENDAS  9, 10:     This is the time of year that the Board appoints or reappoints the different commissions/ Planning/ZBA/etc.  Again, there was no request or notice posted to the citizens of this township to inquire whether or not anyone was interested in these positions. While they are appointed positions... at least the township could "discover" other talents in this community that may be of value to these committees in the future.

AGENDA 12:  A yearly problem...as I see it...  but the township leadership OPTS OUT of a state law... Public Act 152...  
PUBLICLY FUNDED HEALTH INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION ACT
Act 152 of 2011 
AN ACT to limit a public employer's expenditures for employee medical benefit plans; to provide the power and duties of certain state agencies and officials; to provide for exceptions; and to provide for sanctions.
 
AGENDA 15:  THIS AGENDA ITEM HAS TO DO WITH PRUDENTIAL PENSION PLAN.....  right now... I'm not sure any resolution should be passed... since Prudential couldn't even show up or send answers to township questions at the Study Session of Dec. 2.   IF the township has not signed it... and it needs to go back to 2013.... why not wait a few more months... and get more info. from Prudential to OUR questions and concerns?    The below was in the BOARD PACKET....for this agenda item 15:
