The City will also encourage Birmingham landlords to sign and display a voluntary Code of Conduct

PROPERLY CARE FOR LITHIUM ION BATTERIES FIRE

PREVENTION TIPS

The Fire Department has seen an increase in incidents involving Lithium Ion batteries When not properly cared for, these batteries can cause fires. Batteries that undergo stress or damage can be subject to a phenomenon called ‘thermal runaway,’ which occurs when a battery cell short circuits and starts to heat up uncontrollably, leading from one battery to another and so on. Based on how many batteries are involved, the fuel around them can see temperatures of 3,631 degrees Fahrenheit.

Follow these steps to decrease the likelihood of a lithium ion battery fire:

Purchase original equipment from the manufacturer (OEM), Choose products that are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) rated. UL sets industry-wide standards on new products. They continually check these products to ensure they're safe. Store batteries in a cool/ dry environment that does not allow for rapid temperature changes,

Avoid impact damage from accidental dropping of the battery, Do not leave fully charged batteries on chargers. Remove them and unplug the charging unit when not in use. We recommend plugging these chargers into a surge protected power strip which offers another layer of protection.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact the Fire Prevention Bureau at (248) 530-1903

SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK ON ENGAGE BIRMINGHAM

ENVISION AND SHAPE PARKS AND RECREATION

There's still time to share feedback on the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan for 2024-2028. To ensure every resident has a say in shaping the future of our parks and recreation, the city has partnered with McKenna to develop a range of engagement opportunities.

Join us on this exciting journey to engage, envision, and shape the future of Birmingham's parks and recreation. Together, we will create a world-class experience that enhances the quality of life for all.

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY REMINDERS

HAVE PATIENCE AND DRIVE SAFE

It’s that time of year again! As students head back to school, this is a good time for a reminder about traffic safety and students who walk to and from school. Most schools have “school zones”, where speeding violations have increased fines and points. Crossing guards are posted throughout the district and are vested with the authority to stop traffic so students can safely cross a road.

Many students are bussed to school. We are all familiar with school buses and their flashing red lights and automated stop signs. Passing buses while these are activated carries a hefty fine and points. Additionally, police officers don’t have to directly witness these violations for them to be enforced. Complaints from crossing guards or bus drivers are investigated, and when warranted, enforcement action will be taken. To ensure the safety of our children attending school, please have patience and drive safe!

SENIOR SERVICES

Did you know seniors enjoy a variety of services all throughout the Birmingham community? From special events and activities to exclusive discounts and assistance, seniors have many special opportunities in Birmingham. Learn more at www.bhamgov.org/seniorservices.

BIRMINGHAM GREEN

BY NICHOLAS J. DUPUIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR

As leaf blowers continue to gain national attention, the conversation has come to Birmingham and has remained present in the thoughts of many. The science is clear – leaf blowers with two-stroke engines contribute to air and noise pollution – and potentially unnecessary As cities continue to grapple with what to do with these machines, the problem continues to compound, and the health of the public and environment continues to suffer The problem may be summarized into three main categories: emissions, noise and environment.

Emissions: Two-stroke engines complete the combustion and exhaust cycle in two strokes of the piston, leaving some fuel (which is an oil and gas mixture) unburned, decreasing fuel efficiency and increasing emissions. There are no emissions regulations for two-stroke leaf blowers, which makes their use for extended periods of time produce more emissions than a car.

Noise: With average decibel levels of 80-90 at a distance of 50 ft (with even higher decibel levels experienced by the user), the noise produced from two-stroke leaf blowers has the potential to cause long-term hearing impairment.

Environment: Leaf blowers in general, but especially those with more powerful two-stroke engines, damage essential environments for insects, birds, and other wildlife, thus impacting biodiversity.

This fall, you can lessen your impact by considering contractors that utilize electric equipment, leaving your leaves, raking wherever possible, or replacing an end-of-life leaf blower with an electric one. In addition, follow the City’s efforts to reduce the usage of two-stroke leaf blowers City-wide by signing up for one of the City’s many communication tools.

STILL TIME TO SHARE SUSTAINABILITY FEEDBACK SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN

The City of Birmingham's Ad Hoc Environmental Sustainability Committee has asked for resident feedback to help guide Birmingham toward a sustainable and resilient future. Birmingham will be creating a Sustainability and Climate Action Plan over the next year and we need

your input! Visit Engage Birmingham at engage.bhamgov.org and share your feedback. Whether sustainability is a new concept or old, obscure or familiar....this survey is for you!

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICES UDPATES

HELP YOUR NEW TREE THRIVE

The City plants trees every spring and fall in street right-of-ways and at City parks and properties. This fall, a contractor will install approximately 150 trees (typically in October). If a tree is planted in your easement, the City askes that you properly water the tree once a week for 3-5 minutes with a hose, or using a watering bag (lawn irrigation alone is insufficient) The City appreciates the residents' assistance with helping grow and sustain Birmingham's beautiful urban forest!

The passage of Proposal 2022-2 last November created a constitutional right to no less than nine days of early in-person voting for not less than eight hours per day in each statewide and federal election, which occur in even years. Although Birmingham’s 2023 election is neither type, the City is working with Oakland County Elections Division, Bloomfield Township and Southfield Township on a pilot program to offer early voting before this year’s November 7 election from October 28 through November 5 at the Bloomfield Township Library and Oakland County’s Waterford Oaks County Park. Hours and additional details were still being finalized at press time and will be communicated to voters as soon as possible.
