essentially, divides Saginaw into four quadrants and assigns a CPO to
each. When the program rolls out there
will be a community police officer assigned to every area of the City. Additionally, each CPO will have full service
support from the city which allows them to deal with issues in a speedy manner,
according to John Stemple, Saginaw’s Chief Inspector. Each quadrant will have assigned a SCENIC
code enforcement officer, a parking enforcement officer and an environmental
crew with a trash hauler for cleaning up trash and debris. Between the community police officer,
inspectors, environmental personnel, fire department personnel, a parking
enforcement officer and department personnel, and
neighborhood group leadership, Stemple estimates there will be about 13 people
available per quadrant to assist with neighborhood issues. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b style="font-size: 1em;">SAGINAW, MI</b><span style="font-size: 1em;"> — Light Up the City is returning to Saginaw with a kick-off event from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, at the Dow Event Center.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The idea began last year in Saginaw as an initiative between the Michigan State Police, Saginaw Police Department, Consumers Energy and neighborhood associations. United Way of Saginaw County was brought on board this year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
"It's amped up from last year," said Jon Beyerlein, Saginaw community police officer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Refreshments will be available at the event. Live entertainment from the Witch Doctors, and community speakers will also be featured.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
After the event, law enforcement and community members will begin a walk through Houghton-Jones neighborhood to show a positive presence in the neighborhood, Beyerlein said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
An energy-efficient light bulb provided by Consumers Energy will be distributed to participating residents at no cost. Residents will be encouraged to turn on their porch light in support of the initiative.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The visual message signifies the unity of law enforcement and the community by taking back control of neighborhoods, according to the event website.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<strong>SAGINAW, MI</strong> — Saginaw Sheriff William Federspiel said he went into<a href="http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2013/04/saginaw_city_manager_sheriff_w.html" style="color: #305cb6; font-weight: bold; outline: 0px;"> a meeting Monday, April 8, with the city of Saginaw's administrative team </a>hopeful that he would hear a new idea for partnering to fight crime.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
But what Federspiel heard from City Manager Darnell Earley and his staff, he said, was more of the same.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
"Basically they were there to get me to say yes to the 80-plus-four model and then they wanted us to take it back to the council to vote on it," Federspiel said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The policing model being pursued by the city would staff 80 full-time officers and four part-time officers, a staffing level the sheriff has maintained is not enough to properly police the city.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The sheriff said Earley gave 15-20 minutes of background information and then handed the meeting over Assistant City Manager for Public Safety Phil Ludos, who advocated the sheriff consider the 80-officer contract proposed by the city administration in 2012.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
It appeared to be an attempt to sell the same idea that had already been clearly rejected, Federspiel said</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
"We have this gap," he said. "Darnell believes the 80-plus-four is the best financial model for the city. He wants me to believe it. But I don't believe it."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">

<ul style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px;">

At the table Monday was Earley and his management team, Federspiel, Saginaw County Board of Commissioners Chairman Michael Hanley, County Controller Robert Belleman and Courts and Public Safety Committee Chairwoman Cheryl Hadsall.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Federspiel pointed out the notable absence of anyone from the city's labor unions or any representatives from the general public.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Hanley and the sheriff have both maintained that one of the biggest blockades to any negotiations is contractual obligations to the city's two police unions, which currently hold contracts running through June 2014.</div>
<div class="PullQuoteAfter" style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
"We continue to be very concerned about the labor dispute at the city," Hanley said.</div>

"The county currently sees no path forward," -Board of Commissioners Chairman Michael Hanley</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
According to the Saginaw police officers' union president, <a href="http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2013/04/saginaw_police_union_responds.html" style="color: #305cb6; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">the city administration has not made a good-faith effort to negotiate cost savings ideas </a>with the union, while city officials claim the union has yet to bring any significant cost savings to the bargaining table. The unions have also <a href="http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2013/02/saginaw_police_unions_file_gri.html" style="color: #305cb6; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">filed a grievance claiming the city is in violation of the current contracts </a>by attempting to negotiate a contract with Federspiel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Hanley said the city manager made it clear that the labor issues were purely the city's concern. But Hanley said he pointed out those issues would become the county government's concern as well, if they were to begin negotiating a contract with the city.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Hadsall said the group talked for more than an hour, though no decisions resulted.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
"We're all on the same page that something needs to be done," she said. "No doors were closed. I think that is important."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Hanley said the county asked for additional time for staff to take another look at the proposal, since Belleman is relatively new to the position.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The city manager asked for a final answer by Friday, April 12. Hanley said that it will take longer than that, but expects to respond to City Hall by the end of April.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
"He said he wanted to know what to bring back to his city council," Hanley said. "I told him to tell them, 'Assume the status quo.' The county currently sees no path forward."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The city manager's backup plan — which could become part of the budget Earley is required to present to City Council by the end of April — is staffing cuts to a 55-officer police department and a 35-firefighter fire department.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
For police, the reduction would <a href="http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2013/02/saginaw_police_force_could_be.html" style="color: #305cb6; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">revert the city back to the same staffing level Saginaw's department had in 1910</a>. The fire department would also be pushed back to decades-old staffing levels, and two of the city's four fire stations would likely be closed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
A representative from <a href="http://www.mlive.com/saginaw" style="color: #305cb6; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">MLive </a>asked to attend the meeting Monday, but was told by Belleman the meeting would be closed to the public in an attempt to encourage more open discussion.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
"I thought maybe they would come in with a different proposal," Federspiel said. "Nothing has changed since the last time I said no."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Earley was not available for comment after the meeting Monday. </div>
