The event would be held from 5 — 7 PM with set up starting at 3PM. We are asking to close Westmoor St from Bendix to 20 feet East of Gate 9 at the Honeywell Aerospace facility. We do not want to impede any of the company's traffic but want to close the street for the safety of the people attending the event. This event is to inform and remind the community that Honeywell has "Locked Out" the members of Local 9 UAW. Many people think this is a strike, or that our members walked out on their jobs. This is not the case and we want to have the opportunity to explain that to the community by holding this gathering. It will be attended by many members of the community, local elected officials and a variety of other Unions from around the region. This will be a peaceful informative event. I understand the timeliness of this application is not the best, but we will work with you in any way to make this event happen and intend for it to be a success. Thank you for taking this matter into consideration and please feel free to contact me with any questions. Best regards, Bryan Rodgers Local 9 UAW Recording Secretary Bynrodgers@gmail.com 269-240-4700 cell 574-289-5825 office APPROVED Board of Public Works
