Grahnolm Submitted by Mikenetics Consulting LLC and Public Sector Consultants On behalf of Michigan Great Lakes Wind Council Acknowledgments This report was prepared by Public Sector Consultants Inc. and Mikinetics Consulting LLC at the direction of the Michigan Great Lakes Wind Council. Funding was provided by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. Introduction The Michigan Great Lakes Wind Council, created by Executive Order No. 2009-1, serves as an ad hoc advisory body within the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth to examine issues and make recommendations related to offshore wind development in Michigan. The 25-member council consists of key state agency representatives and stakeholders appointed by Governor Jennifer M. Granholm. The primary tasks of the council are to recommend criteria to review applications for offshore wind development, as well as criteria to identify and map the least and most favorable areas for such development in the lakes. In accordance with the council’s charge set forth in the executive order, this final report includes suggested changes to legislation and administrative rules and policies to establish a clear and balanced process for siting offshore wind projects in Michigan’s Great Lakes. This report also includes lessons learned from other jurisdictions with experience related to offshore wind development. Download the report NOTICE: Corrections have been made to this report.

Specifically, PSC... added a summary of the 2007 Michigan Solid Waste Policy; added 2006 data on percentage of municipal waste recycled, combusted, landfilled); recycling rates; per capita recycling rates; percentage of population served by curbside recycling programs; additional model state program descriptions, and a summary of a 2009 public opinion poll on satisfaction with available recycling opportunities and support for comprehensive statewide recycling. At the MRP’s request, PSC also quantified the greenhouse gas emission reductions achieved by Michigan’s 20 percent recycling rate, as well as the emission reductions possible if Michigan’s recycling rate increased to the Great Lakes average of 31 percent. PSC also assisted in promoting the final report findings through press events and editorial board visits. psc Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:13:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:100 http://pscinc.com/Publications/tabid/65/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/99/Michigan-Saves.aspx#Comments 0 http://pscinc.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=65&ModuleID=405&ArticleID=99 http://pscinc.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=99&PortalID=0&TabID=65 http://pscinc.com/Publications/tabid/65/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/99/Michigan-Saves.aspx Michigan Saves is an innovative program that will make energy efficiency upgrades and installing renewable energy systems more affordable for all types of Michigan energy consumers—businesses, local governments, and residents.

(PSC) to research the issue of First Class School Districts and to provide details to help formulate an analysis that the loss of First Class status would have on Detroit Public School children. Our analysis included a detailed review of the Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL), relevant legislative proposals before the Michigan legislature, and published articles concerning the issue of First Class Schools, as well as discussions with policymakers and legislators. Based on our research, we have concluded that if Detroit Public Schools no longer meets the statutory definition of a School District of the First Class, there are a number of statutory references that will be affected, administrative processes that will require clarification, and potential financial and programmatic issues to be considered. These include the composition and business procedures of the Detroit Public Schools Board of Education; financial references to the distribution of grant funds in the School Aid Act; programmatic references, including references to charter school authorizing in the city of Detroit; and statutory definitions in other acts unrelated to the Revised School Code or the School Aid Act which will be affected by a change in status of the Detroit Public Schools. dnn Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:26:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2 http://pscinc.com/Publications/tabid/65/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4/Saginaw-RiverBay-Area-of-Concern-Habitat-Restoration-Plan.aspx#Comments 0 http://pscinc.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=65&ModuleID=405&ArticleID=4 http://pscinc.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=4&PortalID=0&TabID=65 http://pscinc.com/Publications/tabid/65/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/4/Saginaw-RiverBay-Area-of-Concern-Habitat-Restoration-Plan.aspx Prepared for: The Partnership for the Saginaw Bay Watershed Purpose of the Plan: This restoration plan summarizes years of work that have contributed to the imminent restoration of two beneficial use impairments (BUIs) in the Saginaw Bay and River Area of Concern (AOC).
