00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,640
Oh, this is all

Oh, okay. All right.

We're not going to
follow.

10
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,640
All right.

11
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:49,880
» So, Jason, is that flat electric or
battery?

12
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:54,240
» Yeah, I was looking at that, too.

13
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,680
I'll find out.
>> He's already got that search.

14
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:10,360
» There's probably

15
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,879
I was going through the

16
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,400
There you go.

17
00:07:52,319 --> 00:08:01,080
My my brother's

18
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,560
» Okay.

19
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:26,759
» And that little science
ready.

20
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:35,320
He studied math
and his doctorate. It was

21
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:47,880
first place without water.

22
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:58,080
» Yeah.

23
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:08,120
Yeah,
>> they kind of joke about my grandf.

24
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:32,080
Apple has the Apple weather. This is
pretty good. If you click through a lot

25
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:36,519
of them, it doesn't look like much, but
you click on it and it goes yellow.

26
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,640
» It doesn't look like much.
>> Yeah.

27
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,920
Sorry guys.

28
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:07,560
on the corner just

29
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,120
that's a different
>> Yeah. Yeah.

30
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,680
in the nicest of things.

31
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,560
» Hopefully, I'll call later.

32
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:59,920
All right, I will go ahead and call our
study session to order. It is 6:44 p.m.

33
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,920
If we can stand for the pledge of
allegiance.

34
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:13,440
» I aliance to the flag of the United
States of America and to the republic

35
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:20,200
for which it stands, one nation under
God, indivisible, with liberty and

36
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:20,200
justice for all.

39
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:38,560
» here.
>> So our study session is to discuss items

40
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:43,680
that are going to require action at our
regular meeting.

41
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:47,279
So after our public hearing, we are
going to be asked to approve resolution

42
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:55,600
2026
to approve the ground field plant.

43
00:11:50,800 --> 00:12:01,360
Um we got information on this last week
or last week at our last council meeting

44
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,560
and we do have our EDC director here. Um
if we have any questions,

45
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,480
do we have any questions for Miss Tyler?

46
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,000
Great.
>> Speak during the public.

47
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:26,240
» Next, we'll be asked to move approve
resolution 202613

48
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:32,800
um to approve the EDC grant
uh for the CDBG funds for Beamer, Magda,

49
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:36,399
and Dean. Um
city manager, you

50
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:42,800
» Yes, ma'am, mayor, members of council,
and our public. Um, one of the agenda

51
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:50,800
items tonight is to approve a um, an
agreement for any uh, construction of

52
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:56,160
Demer Magna in Dean. Um there will be
another resolution after this on other

53
00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:01,519
streets that we have. But at this
meeting um during a regular session, the

54
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:08,079
administration will ask for approval to
enter into a formal agreement approving

55
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:14,079
the dollar amount specified for this
construction project. I welcome any

56
00:13:10,959 --> 00:13:18,279
questions or comments.
>> Any questions for city management?

57
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:28,560
Right. Next, we're going to be asked to
approve resolution 202610.

58
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:32,279
Uh this is to award the um project to
Concord Escav.

59
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:51,000
» Uh well, you have the dollars. Yeah, go
ahead.

60
00:13:52,320 --> 00:14:02,040
» Uh, good evening, council. Uh, Concord
Escavating came in with the lowest bid.

61
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,040
They came in at uh, 2,342,21,9.35.

62
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:15,120
The overall project was slated for about
2.8 million. We got 2.5 from MEEDC for

63
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:21,680
the complete reconstruction of uh Demer
Magnata Dean. So uh Concord, we've used

64
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:25,920
Concord numerous times throughout many
projects. In fact, they've been working

65
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:30,000
on the uh water project. Currently, the
ones on C Street now that'll be coming

66
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:38,720
down through here in the next week or
two. So, um very pleased that they were

67
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:43,519
able to uh secure that that bid for us.
on our package we were able to see the

68
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:48,480
comparables along but was a submitted
event

69
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,800
they come in
any questions

70
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:58,399
» are we still on track timewise
>> June 1st

71
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,160
we kind of stagger them a little bit
dean is going to be before that same

72
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:06,360
with
be kind of last

73
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:14,959
Next, we're going to be asked to approve
resolution 202611

74
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:19,800
to award uh the project to quality
estimators

75
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,800
concern.

76
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:28,800
» Okay, this one is for
last place. Alvian Street

77
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:34,680
» was a Dean Hogland.
>> Oh, yeah. Sorry. Okay.

78
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,680
» Uh they came in at1,693,372.50.

79
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:43,360
» Uh Quality is also another excavated
company. They're out of Marshall. We

80
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:47,600
used them on several projects. They just
completed Barryian Street for us in

81
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:51,199
South Ionia.
So

82
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:58,320
we we're pretty happy that they came in
to us as well.

83
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:04,399
» Is at any point in time broad?
Yes, it is. That's part of the water

84
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:07,920
project that's going to be outside of
these contracts.

85
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:12,399
And we had talked about because we're
only doing like a small block on

86
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:18,480
Broadway and there's no way that we can
>> the lower part going down to where

87
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:24,079
» we're going to try to do from State
Street all the way to Albian Street.

88
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:29,040
» That whole area is really bad. The water
project is only a small block. Leaving

89
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:33,920
really bad on the other side, really bad
on the other side over here. So that

90
00:16:31,839 --> 00:16:36,920
» there
walk

91
00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:41,839
with you.
>> No, I'm actually walking in this week

92
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:47,120
with quality to see which curbs we're
going to be replacing, if they need it,

93
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:50,800
sidewalks, so forth.
>> Yeah.

94
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:55,120
» Next, we're going to be after resolution
2026.

95
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:59,199
This is to award quality excavators from
the Albian Institute.

96
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:04,279
» Yep. They came in again as the lowest
bid on this this contract. It was

97
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:04,279
$1,835,61

98
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:11,839
with60.
They believe they're going to start that

99
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:19,199
April 6th.
So, April 6th for um

100
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:26,439
Albian Street, April 6th for Beamer,
Magna, and Dean, and then June 1st for

101
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,439
Dean and Holman.

102
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,320
» It started about April 1. How long will
>> It's going to take several weeks. It's

103
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,919
going to have a little bit of
overlapping. There'll be probably be

104
00:17:37,919 --> 00:17:44,880
about I think four weeks of what we're
thinking of overlap time. It just

105
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:49,919
depends on the schedules for the paving
and for the curbs uh that need to be put

106
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,080
back in.
>> Thank you.

107
00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:00,799
» Next, we're going to be ask ordinance
20262

108
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:04,480
uh to amend our noise ordinance. Is that
correct?

109
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:12,640
» Yes.
I see chiefs edging where

110
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:17,600
» good evening. Um I talked with uh
attorney about amending this ordinance

111
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:22,240
um kind of bringing it up to the date
with other municipalities. Um the

112
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,080
verbiage in it um a reasonable person of
normal sensitivities

113
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:30,400
um and our experience kind of
experiencing some instances where we

114
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:36,559
have individuals in town who are
repeatedly calling 911. we fill

115
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:41,600
excessively for noise complaints and
that are being unfounded. And so, uh,

116
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,480
we've done, you know, neighborhood
canvases to check with other neighbors

117
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,640
to make sure they're not experiencing
these same things. But just kind of we

118
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:51,840
get the feeling and other municipalities
have had it too where we there's certain

119
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,360
individuals in town we feel like they're
trying to weaponize the police

120
00:18:53,200 --> 00:19:00,880
department to attack their neighbor who
they have just a simple disagreement

121
00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:06,320
with. So um just kind of using this
verbiage so that we can go around with

122
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:10,240
the neighbors make sure that they are
all not experiencing this particular

123
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:14,320
issue that is being repeated repeatedly
reported to us and being repeatedly

124
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:19,200
unfounded.
So what we've done is like chief said

125
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:24,559
we've added in the language regarding a
reasonable person normal sensitivity

126
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:31,520
such that somebody who might be hyper
sensitive to noise or someone who is not

127
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:36,080
reasonable cannot then use the ordinance
to complain

128
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:39,760
in unob circumstance. This is the exact
same language used in the city of eaten

129
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:45,280
rapids. It's the exact same language
used in Virgin Township. It's used in

130
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:51,200
many alities across the state. It's a
reasonable person standard instead of

131
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:54,960
kind of a glac statement of solid 50
feet or 50 dB or

132
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:57,200
» right because because 50 feet, you know,
different noises at different

133
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,640
» times of day,
>> different decibels at different times of

134
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:07,360
day regardless of the distance.
Any reasonability is a better state.

135
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:11,600
somebody complaining about their
neighbors air conditioning unit

136
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:20,160
continuously kicking on
that point to me is very amazing.

137
00:20:15,679 --> 00:20:23,679
» Yeah. Thank you. So in this how does how
does this change the way that your

138
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:30,240
department still operate at all?
>> Um they'll still respond. It's more so

139
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:37,280
if we get too many uh we've documented
how you know in certain situations where

140
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:40,880
we can get 20 50 even over 100 calls. Um
and then the person who is being

141
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:45,120
targeted in those situations will then
come to us. We want to file harassment

142
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:49,039
complaint. And so in those
circumstances, we we could, you know, if

143
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:53,679
they foyer the reports or the field
contacts or make a foyer request to

144
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:58,080
dispatch about how many times they're n,
you know, this person's called 911 to

145
00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:02,559
their house. Um, but I mean, we'll still
respond.

146
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:08,799
Um, but it's just more of an enforcement
issue where uh if we do our due

147
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,559
diligence and investigate it and we find
that, you know, it's unreasonable, then

148
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:17,280
we're not going to take action. It's not
that we won't go.

149
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:22,799
» Okay. Thank you.
>> Any other questions for J? But if you

150
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:27,440
don't take action,
>> just call the caller and explain it to

151
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,440
them as best we can. We just agree to
disagree.

152
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:38,880
» Do they ever make friends again?
>> Uh, sometimes. Just depends.

153
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:44,400
» Okay. I'm just wondering would it be to
where they might carry it rather than

154
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:49,039
» No, we haven't seen that and it's and if
we if there's any inkling of that we

155
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:54,400
usually intervene before that ever could
get there.

156
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:57,919
» Right. So given the time I do need for
public comment so

157
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,679
» thank you.
>> If there's anybody in the gallery that

158
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:07,120
would like to stand and address conflict
you may do so at this time. Dispense

159
