The News Herald reported 2-25-04
...''that no one is in charge under the current set up. Full time dept heads run their own departments and report to a part time mayor and part time city council'' sounds familiar? They reported on Lincoln Park, MI quandry as to the application of recently FIRED City Mgr from Sterling Heights Steve Duchane. Duchane recently dismissed as a Defendant in the Hillside Promotions fiasco in Sterling Heights which will cost that Cities insurance company 200 million, from his outright falsification of records, and interferrence with the Freedom Hill Music Park developers, on Contractual and Tortious interference
in the operation of a popular music venue.
Wyandotte like Lincoln Park, and other small communities, allows its City Dept heads to manage, to budget, and to measure their own depts reporting as well to a part time council and a part time Mayor.
Motion Approved...please attach the Roll is getting to be ad nauseum at City Hall were City business is more often than not rubber stamped approved with little or no debate.
The opportunity to rig bids, structure kick backs, and favoritism is eveident in many proposals that pass before City Council. Attach the Roll is a cry that should send a shiver down your spine on Monday nights as the rubber stamp gets applied to almost everything...doesn't seem to make sense...to almost everything?
A professionalCity Manager form should be high on the Citizens agenda if not on our current council.
Roll Call...?
Wyandotte poised for economic development will not be successful in attracting larger businesses who like to see things well orgnized and professionally managed. There has been bno, and there is not likely to be any significant new investment from outside into wyandotte especially in the manufacturing or service business arena in part due to the archaic structure of city local government.
Wyandotte would be well advised to revise its charter to a professional city manager form, and with the proviso that Steve Duschane a confirmed liar, and decit need not apply here.
Lincoln Park would do well to consider the lessons learned by Sterling Heights and simply say No Thank You Steve.. please just move on.
