ITEM #3 2007 Gypsy Moth Risk Assessment/Recommendations for 2008 Treatment Season – Presented by Dr. Mark Ticehurst

The gypsy moth population has increased dramatically in Michigan, but no trees have been lost in Bloomfield Township due to this insect. The gypsy moth cannot be eradicated, only managed. Other communities, such as Troy and West Bloomfield, also impact the Township’s levels.

Two treatment options were presented to the Board. Option I would cost approximately $207,000.00 and is a continuation of previous years’ treatments. This option uses fungal inoculations as well as periodic ground-based spraying. Option II consists of aerial spraying and would cost approximately $700,000.00. The Township’s engineering department recommended continuing Option I.

Brian Wezensky, Troy, Michigan, spoke to the Board regarding agenda item #5.

Charles Soberman, 3727 Franklin, spoke to the Board regarding imposing a speed limit on Franklin Rd.

Supervisor Payne advised the Board that the City of Bloomfield Hills had contacted him regarding the Barton Farm House. The property will be developed with new residential homes and the Bloomfield Hills School District is considering moving the historical building to the Bowers Farm property. There has been discussion of the Township working with the Bloomfield Hills School District and city to preserve historical buildings. This assistance would not always result in monetary contributions, but simply a spirit of cooperation.

The Board was also brought up-to-date on two other issues: 1) the Bloomfield Park conditional approval and conditions with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) 2) the Birmingham/Bloomfield consolidation of police and fire – a preliminary report should be available for Board review in January 2008.
