Doreen Woodbury was interviewed regarding a request by Delaney to register an individual although it was after the deadline. Woodbury said he could be gistered but he would not be allowed to vote. Delaney continued to talk to the man.
After returning from lunch, Woodbury found a backdated application on her desk that had been completed by another clerk. Woodbury took the application to the supervisor Lorraine Parker and explained what had transpired.
The registration was not processed and the man did not try to vote. |

Woodbury told Compeau the auction in which the furniture was sold to elaney's secretary deviated from previous practice. Normally, there would be a list of items to be sold during the auction. She stated this publication had no such listing. While she was not there, woodbury had the auction described to here. When it came time for the furniture, only Delaney, his secretary Kathy Bailey and the deputy treasurer Sue Saylor remained. Then the $5.00 bid was accepted. Woodbury knew the furniture went to Delaney's school in Holly. A permanent record of the furniture disposition needed to be maintained.
Township Trustee Marilyn (Mikki) Hoffman was advised of the auction and that Woodbury was to meet Compeau, she gave Woodbury a sealed document for Compeau. |

Delaney's Revenge
On June 13, 2000 a memo was sent to Steve Chilcutt requesting an accounting of time spent repairing any of Delaney's vehicles. There was a hand written note attached that indicated Riopelle said to Chilcutt that he must be the one talking about the generator because he was the only one that knew the details.
On June 14,2000 a second memo arrived demanding an accounting of all time spent on employee cars or personal property Chicutt had worked on as well as the time spent. Chilcutt complied in the narrow time slot for a response. All work was shown on lunch time and breaks and were minor repairs or required towing services for repair. |

The third memo in three days, June 15, 2000, basically rehashes and gets more specific regarding repairs. (looking for an excuse to fire?)
Chilcut included his notes on a conversation with Riopelle early that morning:
Norm approached me and said, "just so you know, there will be another memo coming this morning." I asked "what for now".
Norm said about how often I used township facilities and equipment on my own time and I replied OK.
Norm said "whether you like it or not, the tables and names are going to be turned an you are in the thick of it, no matter who wins the election. |

I said all of this by association? I then walked away and went back to work.
About 8:10 am Riopelle returns to Chilcutt's office and brings the subject up again Chilcutt indicates he believes Riopelle wants information.
Riopelle brought up that Chilcutt knew details that no one else knew and insisted Chilcutt knew more than he was telling Riopelle. Chilcutt stated he replied Maybe and maybe not, I'm just telling the truth to you and everyone else. (referring to his statements to Compeau)
Riopelle insisted he and Delaney knew Chilcutt "was a player in this investigation because Chilcutt ran with some of the cops., mainly Scott Rust and Dave Barry as well as others. |

Riopelle said "we know Scott took pictures of the tractor deal. Riopelle indicated he would be afraid if Delaney lost the election because "Don't you think how I helped Bill didn't seem right".
Norm continued and stated "we think the police department s, township and Sheriff's department, have overstepped their powers and that the Sheriff's department should be investigated."
Riopelle then left. |

In his response to the third memo, Chilcutt noted that prior to his being hired, the township had a long standing policy of allowing the use of the township garage facities for minor repairs. Some employees made their own repairs and the township never paid for any of the parts. Chilcutt had also purchased tools for his use in the facility and when assisted in the police department garage. He also state that besides his own family, he had used the garage bays for Riopelle and his family besides Delaney's family.
A fourth memo on June 22, requested if any payments had been received for this work.
The response was payment for parts and an occasional thank you lunch. Chilcutt reminded Riopelle that other employees have done the same thing. |

An undated Flint Journal editorial was in the investigative file. It gave the appearance that a municipality helping the school in an emergency was fine and then said:
"but it looks less than wholesome with Delaney as a principal in Holly Warwick Pointe LLC, the entity that holds the school's lease. Whether intentional or not, he creates the impression of using his access to township resources to benefit a personal profit-making venture.
I am not sure where the author of the editorial got the number of township desks purchased as 15, when the records indicate numbers of 50 to 100 and requiring multiple trucks and a great deal of time to transport.
"Delaney is providing ample fodder for keeping both CMU and the township on alert, while the meaning of the term "conflict of interet" seem to escape his understanding." |

Delaney may have been anxious to complete the construction on the Holly Warwick Pointe Academy because the school was to pay for repairs and he believed the school was about to purchase the land he and his (unnamed) associates owned and was the site where the school was built.
A Flint Journal story on May 19, 2000 indicates the school had a "triple net" lease which required the school to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance. When the school was unable to secure the financing, they were forced to pay the $70,000 in taxes because they wee leasing from a for-profit entity.
The school announced proposed classroom renovations for an estimated $336,000 to be added to the lease. The school paid $463,257 last year for rent and while they paid for complete use of the facility they were unable to use parts of the school. The lease has an option for purchase in years three through five. |

Sgt Shanlian of the Genesee County Sheriff Department was assigned the portion of the investigation that involved Waldorf and the water main leak.
Owner Greg Waldorf stated the original work order came from David Hobson and was that a water leak under a deck had to be hand dug. Since the leak was under the water meter, there is no dispute that the leak was the responsibility of Bill Delaney.
Three employees were sent to do the job.
All of the employees remember the job as it had snowed and very cold for hand digging.
Employee # 1. Hobson met them and directed them on what to do. Hobson remained at the site and after 3 hours told 2 of the Waldorf employees to go home because the township was bringing in a backhoe. |

Employee #2- Only realized the person at the site was a township employee when they were informed to go home and the township was bringing in a backhoe.
Employee # 3- Worked 9&1/2 hours that day. A township employee sent 2 home and called for a backhoe. There was a second township employee that helped with the digging. The crew never requested assistance. He described a third older well dressed individual at the site, but was unsure of his identity.
These individuals dispute most of the township testimony. There is no dispute that a significant amount of Waldorf labor was eliminated from the bill. There was no discussion of Waldorf using their backhoe.
Waldorf had installed the water line and had drawn the necessary diagrams. |

My question is, did Delaney skip the permitting fee for the water line through the township? Grand Blanc Township does their own water and sewer management. The normal process should have been permitting and purchase of the meter through the township and then the township would supervise the water line installation and meter installation.
In an analysis of the investigation there is an comment that "appears the twp. supr. Hobson is involved with Delaney and is uncooperative.
This is the only fault I see in the investigation. |

This arrest for Possession with intent to deliver Marijuana and felony firearm occurred close in time to the water line leak issue. The gun charge was dropped nd Hobson received a 3 year probation, treatment at McLaren, Community service hours and a restricted driving license.
District Court shows 2 assault cases and driving offenses.. Raridan cited Hobson when the restrictions were in place.
Did Hobson owe Delaney and Hobson loyalty for not losing his job after his conviction? |
