By Charles SercombeFormer Acting City
Manager Kyle Tertzagwill not be coming backin that role.At a packed monthly
Receivership TransitionAdvisory Board meetingon Tuesday afternoon,the board rejected a citycouncil resolution hiringTertzag to come back asinterim city manager.Without further com-
ment, the board saidsimply that Tertzag was
not qualified, but did notspecify why he was notqualified. The board in-structed the city councilto come back with anappointee who is quali-fied, although it was un-clear what qualificationsthe board is looking for.It is expected that the
decision will be met witha legal challenge.Tertzag lashed out at
the board for not allow-ing him to speak at the
By Charles SercombeIt’s been four years
since a plan was OK’d toremodel a building atJos. Campau and Caniffinto a mosque.Since that time there
has been little progress,with just the inside gut-
ted and redesigned andmodest modificationsmade to the outside.Along the way, in
2015, a former citybuilding official mistak-enly gave permission fora change to the outside.
By Charles SercombeFollowing the rejection
of one interim city man-ager, the city council tookanother stab at makingan appointment.And once again the can-
didate is no stranger tothe city.
City Treasurer JohnGabor was tapped atTuesday’s city councilmeeting to be the actingcity manager starting thisSaturday, July 1. City Manager Katrina
Powell’s employment con-tract expires after June30. A bare majority oncity council, Anam Miah,Abu Musa, Saad Almas-mari and MohammedHassan, rejected extend-ing her contract.

Kyle Tertzag (right) held a press interview after astate-appointed financial advisory board rejected aproposal to hire him as interim city manager.
City Treasurer JohnGabor is the latest to betapped as acting citymanager.
Remodeling of a building at Jos. Campau and Caniffto turn it into a mosque has been slow over the pastfour years.
end of the meeting de-spite several commentsmade by the publicabout him and his quali-fications.Board Chairman Debo-
rah Roberts said Tertzaghad a chance to speakat the beginning of themeeting when the publicis allowed to addressthe board.Before the board voted
on Tertzag’s contract,several residents spokeagainst him. One resi-dent and a few non-resi-dents spoke favorably ofTertzag.The meeting on Tues-
day was tense andsweaty, and thosespeaking against Tertzagcited his checkeredrecord as a councilmem-ber in Allen Park and ascity administrator forWoodhaven.Others said the
“process” the councilfollowed in hiring Tertzagwas flawed, and evenpossibly the bare major-ity of councilmemberswho voted to hire himhad violated the state’sOpen Meetings Act.Mark Hausner, a local
attorney and DowntownDevelopment Authoritymember, said the waythe council handled theappointment makes itseem like the city is “onthe verge” of falling into
a financial crisis for athird time.Mayor Karen Majewski
agreed, saying the city isstill “fragile.”Councilmember Ian
Perrotta said that eventhough a bare majorityof councilmembersvoted for Tertzag, thataction “does not reflectthe will of the commu-nity.”Tertzag was appointed
by a slim majority ofcouncilmembers -- AnamMiah, Abu Musa, Mo-hammed Hassan andSaad Almasmari -- in aspecial meeting thatwas called on short no-tice.Perrotta also accused
the council majority be-hind Tertzag’s hiring ofcolluding behind thescenes to hire him, thuslikely violating thestate’s Open MeetingsAct.Bill Meyer came to the
defense of the councilmajority, saying like it ornot, the majority voterules.Immediately after the
meeting Tertzag held apress interview in coun-cil chambers.He said the board’s
decision was “backlash”from the state TreasuryDepartment from thetime he was in Ham-tramck as acting citymanager and brought tothe department’s atten-tion that former Emer-gency Manager CathySquare made “bigoted”
remarks.Square, an African-
American, allegedlyquestioned a city em-ployee of Mexican her-itage if he was a“Mex-i-can or a Mex-i-can’t,” Tertzag said.Tertzag also said that
when he championedputting in bike lanes onsome city streets, shecalled that plan “crazy”because Bengali-Ameri-can drivers “will killsomeone.”She also allegedly
said that Hamtramckcould not work with theCity of Highland Park“because it’s run byblack people.”Despite telling the
state about Square’s al-
leged comments, hewas told by state offi-cials to “let it go.”Square was emer-
gency manager in Ham-tramck for 18 months,and is now city adminis-trator for Highland Park.The Review reached
out to Square for com-ment and she said: “Ideny it all.” She declinedto comment further.Tertzag also accused
the RTAB of violating thestate’s Open MeetingsAct because one mem-ber of the board wastelling the public theweekend before themeeting that a decisionhad already been made.“It was a done deal,”
Tertzag said.

By Evan MajorThe following informa-
tion was presented at themonthly Hamtramck Pub-lic School Board meeting,held on June 14:The financial health of
the district is strong. Wehave continued to stew-ard the public's re-sources in a responsiblemanner and finished theyear with an operatingsurplus of $2,903,739and a general fund bal-ance of $9,828,6643.The largest reasons for
this are:• A trend of growing
enrollment at every levelin the system• The recent Wayne
County enhancement
millage success • Continued responsi-
ble and conservativebudgeting• The sinking fund
passed by the commit-ted voters of Hamtramck• The staff sacrifices
in the previous deficit re-duction planAll of this enabled
Hamtramck PublicSchools to accomplishthe following in the2016/17 school year:• Give all staff ex-
tremely deserved raisesat a time when teachersare under constant at-tack• Overhaul and dra-
matically expand theEnglish Language Learn-
ing (ELL) department tomeet the needs of ourmany language learners• Build a new and ex-
panded state-of-the-artkitchen at DickinsonWest Elementary andKosciuszko MiddleSchool• Completely replace
the aging roof at Dickin-son East Elementary• Assess our needs
and begin to overhaulour technology and cur-riculum to match the21st century demands... and more This puts us in a posi-
tion to be able to do thefollowing for the2017/18 school year:• Replace the aging
roof at Hamtramck HighSchool • Build a new and ex-
panded state-of-the-artkitchen at DickinsonEast Elementary• Continue to reward
our staff for their service• Roll out a new and
aggressive district widecurriculum • Continue hiring more
teachers for targetedprograms … and more
Thank you to the fami-lies and staff of Ham-tramck Public Schoolsfor your never endingsupport, and please stay
engaged as we move for-ward. I'll end the updatewith a relevant actionitem:In their ongoing at-
tempt to privatize publicassets, the Michigan leg-islature voted last weekto send a bill to GovernorRick Snyder that wouldeliminate the notion of asecure retirement for anynew educator in Michi-gan. In doing so, they have
also made it more diffi-cult for local school dis-tricts to budgetresponsibly. Because inthat bill, in addition tothe massive up-frontcosts it will take toswitch over from the lia-bility-free plan, it will re-quire public schooldistricts to contribute tothose new retirement ac-counts while leaving pri-vate charter schools tomake no contributionswhatsoever. Call the governor (517)
373-3400 to tell himHamtramck PublicSchools already hasenough budgeting chal-lenges without making itharder to recruit teach-ers to our state becauseof backwards thinkinglike this pension reformbill.

Hamtramck high School students celebrate graduation
The Class of 2017 grad-uates at Hamtramck HighSchool had plenty to cele-brate this year.Many of the students
will be going on to furthertheir education, and oth-ers will join the workingworld. The graduates havenow experienced a rite ofpassage that so manyother generations have ex-perienced.It was also prom season
for the grads. Hamtramck-based freelance photogra-pher Lauren Montgomerywas there to share in thestudents’ experience.As we say in Ham-
tramck, Go Cosmos!Photostory by Lauren
Montgomery
And then recently,mosque organizers at-tempted to make morechanges, this time with-out city permission.That’s when current
Building Official JackWilliams put his footdown and placed a stop-work order on the build-ing.The mosque recently
received permission formore changes at thebuilding, located at thesouthwest corner ofCampau and Caniff. It isnot known how muchlonger it will take to com-plete renovations.But the delay and
record of changes beingmade without prior city
approval caused MayorKaren Majewski to lashout at a recent PlanCommission meeting.She said the reason
the city put a stop to ren-ovations at the mosqueis because agreed upon“boundaries werepushed and specifica-tions ignored.”“Then it’s up to us to
catch them and createmore publicity.”This stop and go, she
stressed, ends up cost-ing the mosque moremoney, and forces thecity to “discipline” themosque as well.“It’s not fair to us to be
the bad guys,” Majewskisaid.
Ultimately, Majewskisaid, the city andmosque organizers needto “honor each other.”There was initial resist-
ance to allowing amosque to locate at thatsite because it is in theheart of the city’s mainbusiness district. It isalso on the same blockwhere two other Islamiccenters are located.There will now be an
addition constructed inbetween the two othersat the end of the block.That plan was also re-cently permitted by thePlan Commission andcity council.

In Our Opinion
Hamtramck has an im-portant election comingup on Aug. 8.It’s called a primary
election, and it is onlyfive weeks away. Candi-dates for mayor and citycouncil will likely be theonly two races on the bal-lot. With just localelected positions on theballot, past experiencetells us that voter turnoutwill be low.That’s a shame be-
cause local elections arealways the ones that af-fect us the most. Nextweek we will start pub-lishing candidate surveyswe sent to all candi-dates. As of today, Friday,June 30, only a handfulof candidates re-sponded.That should tell you
something about thosewho declined to partici-pate. They would ratherkeep their thoughts onthe issues of the day tothemselves.
Voters would be wiseto note who didn’t partic-ipate.Hamtramck is at a mo-
ment of transition. Forthe past four years or so,the city has been underthe control of a state-ap-pointed emergency man-ager, for the first 18months, and after thatand to this day under thesupervision of a state-ap-pointed financial advisoryboard.The board has let it be
known that it wants tophase out and allow fulllocal control by electedofficials to return.It is likely whoever is
sitting on city council andin the mayor’s seat willhave their full city charterduties restored.That’s going to be a
huge step for the city.Hamtramck has been inthe unfortunate positionof going through two fi-nancial crises that re-quired the state to step
in and appoint an emer-gency manager.The city cannot afford
to fall into another finan-cial emergency. That’swhy this election is so im-portant. We need to electpeople who have experi-ence.Unfortunately, except
for the incumbents run-ning, none of the candi-dates have anybackground in municipalaffairs.Not even serving on a
city commission.These are not learn-on-
the-job positions. Wedesperately need peoplewho know what is re-quired to run a city and toactually be here to dojust that.Pay close attention to
the upcoming candidatesurveys that begin nextweek. And remember ex-perience counts, and toalso come out and voteon Aug. 8.
Upcoming candidate surveys willbe telling in more than one way

Tick, tock… As themetaphorical clock ticksdown the final moments ofCity Manager Katrina Pow-ell’s employment contractwith the city, we’re notalone in thinking, as thesaying goes: “It ain’t overtill it’s over.”And by that we mean
there are some folks whothink Powell may not beleaving after all. The think-ing is the state Treasury De-partment will swoop in atthe last minute and eithergrant her a contract exten-sion, or even, maybe, ap-point her as emergencymanager.Crazy talk? Could likely
be, but the lead up to herdeparture has been soconvoluted and dizzyingour collective heads arespinning.We wish Powell the best
no matter what happens.She accomplished a lot ofgood things in the city andfinancially she helped putthe city back on solid foot-ing.Yes, she did rub some
folks, especially some citycouncilmembers, thewrong way.The main thing to keep
focused on is making surethe city continues on thepath toward stability. Itwould be a shame if thestate stepped in at the lastminute just as it was
hoped the transition tolocal control continued on.But if that is the case,
let’s all learn from this ex-perience.
Breaking news... PoliceChief Anne Moise hasbeen appointed acting citymanager by outgoing CityManager Katrina Powell.That’s the latest we heardbefore going to press.
Art opening… Our fa-vorite art gallery, PublicPool (3309 Caniff), willonce again host a new artexhibit. The opening is onJuly 8 and runs from 7 to11 p.m.The theme is cherries.

have been contemplatingand fabricating these suc-culent little innuendos dur-ing the past months. …“Games will be had and
art will be gawked at. …’ CH E R R I E S ! ! ! ! !’ willrun through July 29 withspecial programming Sat-urday, July 15 and 22 dur-ing the gallery hours of12-6 p.m. Perhaps even acherry pie-eating contest,eh? Only time will tell. “Curious how you could
possibly relive this magicalnight, in public or in the pri-vacy of your own home?
Scott Boyink will be print-ing some ‘C H E R R I E S! ! ! ! !’ themed shirts dur-ing the opening reception;if you bring your own shirthe will print it for a mere$5.”Artists include: Adrienne

1959 Little League base-ball champions will onceagain be honored.The Michigan Baseball
Hall of Fame will be in-ducting the team, alongwith Detroit Tigers legendTy Cobb, on July 15.That’s pretty impressive

players survive to thisday. They have been feted

sionally in the minorleagues for the St. LouisCardinals.A teammate of his in
the Pony League, Tom Pa-ciorek, played 18 yearsfor the Los AngelesDodgers, Atlanta Braves,
Seattle Mariners, ChicagoWhite Sox, New York Metsand Texas Rangers.In an article written by
Buck Jerzy for Deras' in-duction into the NationalPolish-American SportsHall of Fame, Paciorek re-members his teammateas a “gifted, phenomenaland amazing” player.He went on to say: He
was just so much betterthan the rest of us. At l2years old he was bigger,taller and stronger thanus and the greatest playerever at that age.”

Powell has served herefor the past two-and-a-halfyears.The issues of extending
her contract and filling herposition have becomeheated and contentiousfor the past few months.The council has been di-vided on the issue 4-2,with Mayor Karen Majew-ski siding with Coun-cilmembers AndreaKarpinski and Ian Perrottain favor of keeping Powell.The majority of four
councilmembers initiallyappointed Kyle Tertzag asinterim city manager, butthat appointment wasstruck down on Tuesdayby the state-appointed Re-ceivership Transition Advi-sory Board.The board said without
explanation that Tertzagwas not qualified to holdthe position despite hispast history of being anacting city manager inHamtramck for over ayear and a city administra-tor for the downriver com-munity Woodhaven priorto that.Gabor’s appointment
still has to be approved bythe RTAB, but that boarddoesn’t meet until July25.Gabor was placed on
paid leave by Powell threeweeks ago after he spokeout suddenly and criticallyduring a budget work ses-sion with council and Pow-ell.Powell also has the
power by city charter toappoint an acting city
manager to take overafter she leaves the job –subject to council ap-proval. As of Thursday,when The Review went topress, she did not pres-ent an appointment.The Review emailed
Powell about whether sheplanned to make that ap-pointment but she did notrespond.Gabor’s appointment
was not smooth. The baremajority who voted for himhad to suspend proce-dural rules in the councilmeeting to make the ap-pointment. That suspen-sion of rules may besubject to review and re-versal.Councilmember Perrotta
said he was not againstGabor’s appointment butthought it would be betterto do so in a specialmeeting to avoid violatingany rule on the proceed-ing.Councilmember Karpin-
ski demanded to seeGabor’s resume. He wasin the pool of candidatesfor the city manager’s jobthat was presented over
two years ago. It was thesame pool of candidatesthat included Powell.The emergency man-
ager at the time hiredboth — Powell as citymanager, and Gabor astreasurer.Gabor’s contract as
Treasurer also expireswith Powell’s on June 30.Sources in city hall said
the relationship betweenPowell and Gabor was dis-tant at best.The road to appointing
an acting city managerhas been rocky to say theleast. Tertzag’s appoint-ment came in a specialmeeting that was throwntogether at the lastminute and ignited abacklash from residents.Reached by telephone,
Gabor told The Review:“My intent is to go in asplanned until someonetells me otherwise.”The resolution hiring
Gabor did not include asalary or for what lengthof time. Gabor told thecouncil, however, he canbe here three to fourmonths.
