1
00:04:56,894 --> 00:04:59,913
Good morning everyone. I would like to call to order

2
00:05:00,014 --> 00:05:04,393
our Public Health and Safety Standing Committee for today, Monday,

3
00:05:04,393 --> 00:05:09,774
July 27th, 2026, Miller Clerk. Please call the role. House

00:05:09,814 --> 00:05:13,854
member Gabriela Santiago Romero. Present. House member Denzel and Time

5
00:05:13,854 --> 00:05:16,814
McCambell. Remember McCambell did indicate that he's running late this

6
00:05:16,854 --> 00:05:23,134
morning, so his tardiness is excused. Council Member Mary Waters.

7
00:05:23,134 --> 00:05:25,454
Madam Chary, you have a quorum present. Thank you Madam

8
00:05:25,494 --> 00:05:29,977
Clerk, given a quorum. We'll go into the agenda for

9
00:05:30,017 --> 00:05:34,134
today. Is there a motion to approve our last minutes.

10
00:05:35,649 --> 00:05:38,988
Here, no objections are minutes from our last session will

11
00:05:38,988 --> 00:05:42,748
be approved. Just want to remind everyone that today is

12
00:05:42,849 --> 00:05:47,268
our last Public Health and Safety Session before recess. So

13
00:05:47,649 --> 00:05:51,068
member Waters, we are being requested for all items to

14
00:05:51,108 --> 00:05:54,828
go to new business unless we decide otherwise. But just

15
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,668
a note for us today as we move items along.

16
00:05:59,587 --> 00:06:03,486
Other than that, we can go into general public comment

17
00:06:03,587 --> 00:06:06,766
for this morning. I don't see anyone here in person

18
00:06:06,947 --> 00:06:09,806
for general public comments. But if you are online, please

19
00:06:09,907 --> 00:06:13,486
raise your hand now for general public comments. I'll be

20
00:06:13,486 --> 00:06:16,606
cutting off Public comments in two minutes. So please raise

21
00:06:16,627 --> 00:06:19,246
your hand. Now, if you would like to make general

22
00:06:19,507 --> 00:06:23,886
public comments, we will give everyone two minutes. This morning.

23
00:06:25,910 --> 00:06:29,089
And since we see no one here in public for

24
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:33,569
Public Comment this morning, we will begin with the folks

25
00:06:33,569 --> 00:06:37,550
that we have online. We do have the two minutes

26
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:41,557
up on the screen. Ms. Kahn, whenever you're ready, how

27
00:06:41,557 --> 00:06:43,417
many hands do we have raised and who do we

28
00:06:43,417 --> 00:06:48,617
have first? Madam Chair, we have seven hands online so

29
00:06:48,638 --> 00:06:56,226
far. In our first collar is Dr. Denise Darnell. Well,

30
00:06:56,226 --> 00:06:59,666
good morning. Can I be heard? Yes, good morning. Good

31
00:06:59,687 --> 00:07:03,802
morning, Dr. Denise Darnell here. My city council member here

32
00:07:04,143 --> 00:07:07,722
in District 2, Angela Whickfield Calloway, had a very successful

33
00:07:07,983 --> 00:07:12,602
meeting regarding traffic and pedestrian safety this past Thursday at

34
00:07:12,623 --> 00:07:16,959
Greatory Emmanuel Church on Schaefer and We Seven Mile. The

35
00:07:16,999 --> 00:07:23,359
Detroit 12th Police precinct Detroit Department of Public Works, Wayne

36
00:07:23,359 --> 00:07:27,559
County Traffic Engineers, Wayne County Commissioner Angelique Peterson Mayberry, as

37
00:07:27,559 --> 00:07:31,279
well as Bishop John Scheer and his leadership team all

38
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,799
discussed additional safety measures to make sure that congregants would

39
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:37,679
be able to leave the church safely without getting run

40
00:07:37,719 --> 00:07:42,313
over or putting their lives in danger. Crossing Schaefer and

41
00:07:42,353 --> 00:07:46,313
Cambridge. Those in the community express concerns about cars driving

42
00:07:46,574 --> 00:07:49,781
way past the speed limit, putting pedestrians in danger. The

43
00:07:50,042 --> 00:07:53,601
Bishop mentioned somebody actually did get run over in the

44
00:07:53,642 --> 00:07:58,278
recent past who miraculously survived. I personally was very glad

45
00:07:58,379 --> 00:08:02,278
to see how productive this community meeting turned out. There

46
00:08:02,278 --> 00:08:04,758
were a lot of commitments made on the spot by

47
00:08:05,019 --> 00:08:08,038
DPD. And I think the bishop was pleased with what

48
00:08:08,139 --> 00:08:11,798
the City County and our council member would fill Calloway

49
00:08:11,838 --> 00:08:15,158
was able to accomplish by simply bringing the community together

50
00:08:16,299 --> 00:08:19,958
with those who have the authority to take actions. We

51
00:08:20,059 --> 00:08:23,798
actually walked down to the intersection of while standing there,

52
00:08:23,798 --> 00:08:26,838
our car came speeding by, breaching the yellow line in

53
00:08:26,838 --> 00:08:31,078
order to get around another vehicle and DPD immediately responded.

54
00:08:31,288 --> 00:08:34,387
So we got to see firsthand the dangers that's feeding

55
00:08:34,408 --> 00:08:39,587
cars can present to pedestrians. Finally, aye Denise Darnell Brown,

56
00:08:39,587 --> 00:08:43,107
I'm on the August 4th ballot here in Detroit's area,

57
00:08:43,107 --> 00:08:46,787
8 mile woodwork for District 203, delegate to the County

58
00:08:46,787 --> 00:08:51,412
Convention and would appreciate considerations in votes. I am volunteering

59
00:08:51,452 --> 00:08:55,392
because I believe everybody can do something. Thank you, God

60
00:08:55,392 --> 00:08:59,168
bless you and have a wonderful break. Thank you. God

61
00:08:59,168 --> 00:09:01,588
bless you, ma'am. Who do we have next? By the

62
00:09:01,588 --> 00:09:06,618
way, general Public Comments is now cut off. Our next

63
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:14,356
collar is William M. Davis. Good morning, can I be

64
00:09:14,396 --> 00:09:18,850
hurt? Yes, good morning. How like we put a health

65
00:09:18,871 --> 00:09:22,370
and safety concern right here on my street. You know,

66
00:09:22,410 --> 00:09:25,650
we have a lot of tree debris that's been down

67
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:29,250
since like July 30th. And I know on one of

68
00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:33,210
these committee meetings, we was informed that there's going to

69
00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:35,570
be come around picking it up. Right there on my

70
00:09:35,671 --> 00:09:39,970
block, an Apple line between joy and oakman. There is

71
00:09:39,970 --> 00:09:42,850
a huge pile of wood and debris in front of

72
00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:45,650
my neighbor's house. And the thing about it is right

73
00:09:45,671 --> 00:09:49,250
next to the fire hydrogen, which will make it compromise

74
00:09:49,351 --> 00:09:53,330
to somebody's house caught on fire. And also the elderly

75
00:09:53,591 --> 00:09:56,370
lives there, you know, she's like in her eighties or

76
00:09:56,391 --> 00:09:59,890
nineties. And, you know, she frequently goes in and out,

77
00:09:59,890 --> 00:10:03,330
you know, in ambulance, the good service. You know, so

78
00:10:03,351 --> 00:10:06,690
I think a greater effort needs to be made to

79
00:10:06,791 --> 00:10:10,130
get this debris up, you know? And some of us

80
00:10:10,391 --> 00:10:15,570
pretty big, uh, from the gelather. Also, I think in

81
00:10:15,610 --> 00:10:20,370
general, the debris still out throughout the city, especially over

82
00:10:20,410 --> 00:10:23,962
here in District 7 that needs attention. You know, so

83
00:10:23,962 --> 00:10:27,402
if y'all could help to facilitate help to encourage the

84
00:10:27,402 --> 00:10:30,682
people that's supposed to be doing this, to do something,

85
00:10:30,682 --> 00:10:34,522
uh, also it appears like still, you know, I work

86
00:10:34,522 --> 00:10:37,402
for the water department for 34 years. I've been retired

87
00:10:37,442 --> 00:10:43,002
since 2012. But prior to the Detroit bankruptcy, we didn't

88
00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:45,802
have so many streets flooding. We didn't have so much

89
00:10:47,263 --> 00:10:50,762
problems with, you know, maintaining the streetlights and a number

90
00:10:50,762 --> 00:10:53,322
of things. So I, you know, some things have gotten

91
00:10:53,423 --> 00:10:57,162
better since the bankruptcy was some things have gotten worse.

92
00:10:57,162 --> 00:10:59,882
Hopefully we could do more to help to improve the

93
00:10:59,882 --> 00:11:02,442
living standards for the charters. And hopefully we could do

94
00:11:02,783 --> 00:11:05,402
more to make sure our dollars are staying in the

95
00:11:05,423 --> 00:11:11,309
city more. Thank you. Thank you. Our next caller is

96
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:19,763
D. Mobility Access. D. mobility access. If you can hear

97
00:11:19,763 --> 00:11:22,494
us. You're up next. I believe that actually might be

98
00:11:22,675 --> 00:11:28,483
brother cunning him. Can you hear me? Yes, we can.

99
00:11:29,684 --> 00:11:36,069
Good morning, honorable Councilpersons. Have a great recess. And thanks

100
00:11:36,069 --> 00:11:39,989
for always being cordial. Kindness is not always kind to

101
00:11:39,989 --> 00:11:43,584
me. And, you know, the life I live, people are

102
00:11:43,584 --> 00:11:46,465
not always that kind to me. So I appreciate your

103
00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:52,145
kindness, Councilpersons. 313 - 4449 114 - 313 -

104
00:11:52,246 --> 00:12:00,702
44491143134449114. That number was made you can remember it. And

105
00:12:00,803 --> 00:12:05,822
forced subservients Cunningham on Facebook. August 4th, 2026, I believe

106
00:12:05,843 --> 00:12:08,462
it was eight days out for voting day. And I'm

107
00:12:08,462 --> 00:12:11,902
getting a lot of calls, um, people want to know

108
00:12:12,243 --> 00:12:16,462
if it's the fixed line bus route, if the fixed

109
00:12:16,502 --> 00:12:21,936
line bus route and paratransit will be free. The key

110
00:12:21,936 --> 00:12:28,046
part will pair a transit. And fixed line route B

111
00:12:28,227 --> 00:12:34,492
free. For Detroit Department of Transportation on August 4. Those

112
00:12:34,492 --> 00:12:38,012
who are doing early voting, you can get a free

113
00:12:38,193 --> 00:12:44,732
ride from Warriors on wheels. Lisa Franklin, organization 313 -

114
00:12:44,753 --> 00:12:49,377
2515777. Again,

115
00:12:49,718 --> 00:12:58,803
3132515777. And thanks for taking my text message Councilwoman

116
00:13:00,344 --> 00:13:03,683
in regards to that flyer. Hopefully it can be sheer

117
00:13:03,723 --> 00:13:07,759
robustly. So some people can get to the polls. When

118
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:11,359
everybody to vote. And I'm getting calls, people want to

119
00:13:11,359 --> 00:13:16,681
know fixed line route will be free. And disability paratransit

120
00:13:17,982 --> 00:13:21,984
free August 4th. It will be a good idea if

121
00:13:22,024 --> 00:13:24,064
they put it on their social media or some type

122
00:13:24,064 --> 00:13:28,544
of platform so the public knows. And I will disseminate

123
00:13:28,544 --> 00:13:32,781
the information once I'm told. Thank you so much. Thank

124
00:13:32,781 --> 00:13:36,301
you. We can confirm whether or not that will be

125
00:13:36,642 --> 00:13:40,861
free on election day and help let people know as

126
00:13:40,861 --> 00:13:44,381
well. Who do we have next? Our next caller is

127
00:13:45,042 --> 00:13:51,141
Renard Munchinsky. Hi, good morning. Can I be heard? Yes.

128
00:13:51,141 --> 00:13:54,541
Good morning. Uh, good morning. And, um, I'm going to

129
00:13:54,541 --> 00:13:57,221
thank Kenny Hahn for his, uh, reminder that the election

130
00:13:57,402 --> 00:14:01,465
is in eight days. Early voting is taking place now

131
00:14:01,486 --> 00:14:05,545
at the sites that our clerk's office listed. So just

132
00:14:05,545 --> 00:14:08,745
be sure to exercise your early rights vote because other

133
00:14:08,846 --> 00:14:11,625
states have that. We're new to it. And this allows

134
00:14:11,886 --> 00:14:14,585
workers and people that cannot take time off on the

135
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:18,345
election to have their voices hurt. And states that get

136
00:14:18,345 --> 00:14:20,825
rid of that and actually don't have that as a

137
00:14:20,825 --> 00:14:23,545
form of voter suppression. So we worked harder to make

138
00:14:23,545 --> 00:14:26,985
sure that we can have early voting mail and voting.

139
00:14:26,985 --> 00:14:28,985
And of course your choice in voting in on election

140
00:14:29,025 --> 00:14:31,785
day. And when you look at your ballot, don't just

141
00:14:31,785 --> 00:14:34,505
look at the, um, candidates from the parties. Make sure

142
00:14:34,505 --> 00:14:38,185
you consider to owes us cause these are very important.

143
00:14:38,206 --> 00:14:40,985
I know there's a lot of misinformation and disinformation out

144
00:14:40,985 --> 00:14:46,745
there from spring old things of that sort. But for

145
00:14:46,785 --> 00:14:49,545
the proposal S, this is the members that will invest

146
00:14:49,966 --> 00:14:54,425
in our Detroit Public Schools community district. The old district

147
00:14:54,526 --> 00:14:57,065
is no more. The debt has been paid off. I'm

148
00:14:57,105 --> 00:14:59,545
not actually sure what happens with our old records and

149
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:03,465
everything, but that's another story. Is the 18 mil tax,

150
00:15:03,465 --> 00:15:06,105
but it would not be levied on people on residents

151
00:15:06,446 --> 00:15:10,105
renew that live there, all the businesses as well. So,

152
00:15:10,105 --> 00:15:13,385
um, that's that case. Um, so people who own a

153
00:15:13,406 --> 00:15:16,345
Richter home will not be impacted by this, but are

154
00:15:16,345 --> 00:15:19,385
most important resonance in the city who cannot vote, cannot

155
00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:23,625
make decisions. Our children and they deserve consideration. So that's

156
00:15:23,886 --> 00:15:28,636
proposal. S. D. Wayne County Transit Knowledge also, all of

157
00:15:28,636 --> 00:15:31,196
us are Wayne County will decide on whether we have

158
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:34,956
public transit across all 43 cities. And we know the

159
00:15:34,956 --> 00:15:37,276
reality that people that live in the city rely on

160
00:15:37,297 --> 00:15:39,676
the bus, 59 smart to get to where they need

161
00:15:39,676 --> 00:15:42,456
to go. Everything is not available in the city. And

162
00:15:42,456 --> 00:15:44,556
then people in the city outside of City want to

163
00:15:44,556 --> 00:15:46,956
come here as well. So be sure to vote. If

164
00:15:46,977 --> 00:15:49,996
we don't vote on this transit mileage, if it fails,

165
00:15:49,996 --> 00:15:52,316
there is no smart service. There is no county service

166
00:15:52,356 --> 00:16:00,884
whatsoever. Thank you. Thank you. Madam chair, our next color

167
00:16:00,924 --> 00:16:04,964
is Miss Marguerite Maddox and Scarlet. Noting we have four

168
00:16:05,004 --> 00:16:08,324
more collars and two joined after the close of public

169
00:16:08,364 --> 00:16:11,506
comment. Okay. Ms. Maddox, you're up next.

170
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:25,298
Maddox, if you can hear us, you have been made

171
00:16:25,338 --> 00:16:30,576
a panelist. You will just need to unmute yourself.

172
00:16:37,063 --> 00:16:39,762
Ms. Maddox, if you are speaking, we cannot hear you.

173
00:16:43,452 --> 00:16:45,271
What we can do, Ms. Maddox, since we have a

174
00:16:45,311 --> 00:16:48,871
few more folks online, we can add you to the

175
00:16:48,911 --> 00:16:52,916
bottom of the queue and welcome you back. If you're

176
00:16:52,916 --> 00:16:55,076
able to reconnect with us, but we can't hear you

177
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:58,276
at the moment. So Ms. Maddox, if you can hear

178
00:16:58,316 --> 00:17:00,916
us, we are going to add you to the bottom

179
00:17:00,956 --> 00:17:03,956
of the cue and call back on you. But we

180
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:06,399
currently cannot hear you. Uh, so we'll come back to

181
00:17:06,439 --> 00:17:13,378
you, Ms. Maddox. Who do we have next. Our next

182
00:17:13,418 --> 00:17:21,663
collar is phone number ending in 534. Color Indian in

183
00:17:21,703 --> 00:17:25,523
534. Good morning, may I be heard? Yes. Good morning.

184
00:17:27,466 --> 00:17:31,555
I. Am so grateful that Miss Alicia called me this

185
00:17:31,595 --> 00:17:34,946
morning. She is in one of the solar taking areas.

186
00:17:36,211 --> 00:17:39,150
This very disturbed that she just got illegal document that

187
00:17:39,171 --> 00:17:43,070
she doesn't understand. And I hope she successfully got into

188
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:47,070
the Zoom. She also knows two of the neighbors that

189
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:50,830
got bullied into signing the deals. And you folks really

190
00:17:50,851 --> 00:17:53,390
need to check out what the City is doing with

191
00:17:53,891 --> 00:17:58,430
these solar initiative not properly informing people. And I will

192
00:17:58,430 --> 00:18:01,790
help her out because it is not okay to go

193
00:18:01,790 --> 00:18:06,463
around offering people hundred dollar checks. And not fully explain

194
00:18:06,503 --> 00:18:10,383
what's going on to take their use restrictions so you

195
00:18:10,383 --> 00:18:16,257
can build these solar farms for often negligent DTE. Now

196
00:18:16,438 --> 00:18:19,057
folks, the way this has gone on has been so

197
00:18:19,718 --> 00:18:24,817
absolutely disgusting. And so I pray that the chair and

198
00:18:24,817 --> 00:18:27,137
the vice chair of this committee will take a look

199
00:18:27,318 --> 00:18:30,337
into this because that miss Alicia is willing to speak

200
00:18:30,438 --> 00:18:34,657
up about what's going on there. And you've devastated some

201
00:18:34,697 --> 00:18:38,977
other people, not you necessarily personally. But the tactics that

202
00:18:39,158 --> 00:18:42,897
the City is using not fully informing people, rolling over

203
00:18:42,918 --> 00:18:46,657
them with no right to council, while you've got Zelsmur

204
00:18:46,998 --> 00:18:50,977
fund to the tuna 7. 7 million dollars. And they

205
00:18:51,017 --> 00:18:54,017
know these people don't have the resources to fight back.

206
00:18:54,017 --> 00:18:57,777
But they're also being misinformed so they won't fight back.

207
00:18:57,777 --> 00:19:01,057
So God bless Alicia and her family for reaching out

208
00:19:01,078 --> 00:19:04,237
to me. And then you can hear from them. And

209
00:19:04,237 --> 00:19:05,937
I will set up some one - on - one

210
00:19:05,958 --> 00:19:08,817
conversations so that you know that what I've been telling

211
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:12,017
you is true. So have the decency to look into

212
00:19:12,038 --> 00:19:15,297
this and not let residents of Detroit being rolled over

213
00:19:15,718 --> 00:19:18,977
by some callous people who were brought off by DTE

214
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:23,777
or whatever motivates them to do this to Detroit residents.

215
00:19:23,777 --> 00:19:25,937
And I'm sorry if I'm speaking in fight or flight,

216
00:19:25,937 --> 00:19:28,417
but I am just so appalled that the City is

217
00:19:28,457 --> 00:19:37,528
doing this. Our next collar is phone number ending in

218
00:19:37,549 --> 00:19:45,700
223. Color ending in 223.

219
00:19:50,791 --> 00:19:56,534
Hi, this is Alicia. I have been bamboozle to sign

220
00:19:56,555 --> 00:20:01,533
papers not fully. Explain to me about this solar panel

221
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:05,483
crap. I do not want this next to me. I

222
00:20:05,584 --> 00:20:07,403
don't, I didn't want it in the back of my

223
00:20:07,403 --> 00:20:15,652
home, but they doing it anyway. I'm very, very unhappy

224
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:19,012
about this because they lied to us. They came around

225
00:20:19,012 --> 00:20:24,202
with these programs. And they want to take my house.

226
00:20:24,202 --> 00:20:26,543
And I don't want to move. I don't want it

227
00:20:26,543 --> 00:20:29,746
next to me. I need help. They didn't explain anything

228
00:20:30,007 --> 00:20:35,206
to us. So I feel we've been bamboozled out of

229
00:20:35,206 --> 00:20:38,077
our home. I don't think this is a safe environment

230
00:20:38,178 --> 00:20:46,509
for these solar panels. I'm just against it. And people

231
00:20:46,850 --> 00:20:48,989
been forced out of their home. Rhea was forced out

232
00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:52,666
of her home. Her Miss Black, they always forced. And

233
00:20:52,687 --> 00:20:55,146
I feel like they trying to force me out of

234
00:20:55,146 --> 00:20:56,986
my home with this hundred dollar check. They told me

235
00:20:57,087 --> 00:21:00,525
I didn't have to go to court. And I wasn't

236
00:21:00,565 --> 00:21:04,000
signing my house away or my land away. And now

237
00:21:04,181 --> 00:21:05,680
I feel confused. I need help.

238
00:21:22,143 --> 00:21:23,402
Will I be able to get any help from you

239
00:21:23,402 --> 00:21:28,294
guys? Um. Legal help. You have, you have a few

240
00:21:28,315 --> 00:21:31,814
seconds left to share your thoughts. Um, and then we

241
00:21:31,814 --> 00:21:34,534
will be able to share, um, some thoughts as well.

242
00:21:35,789 --> 00:21:38,008
So you've got about 20 more seconds. If you have

243
00:21:38,008 --> 00:21:43,007
anything else you want to share with us. No, because

244
00:21:43,028 --> 00:21:47,800
I'm just totally unhappy about this situation. Okay. All right.

245
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:53,640
Thank you for calling in. So member Waters, is she

246
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,320
able to give you a call? Cause I think what

247
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,320
we got to figure out is who she's been talking

248
00:21:57,341 --> 00:22:01,240
to, um, what she's being promised and then making sure

249
00:22:02,301 --> 00:22:04,600
she does not want to move forward, that she's able

250
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:10,280
to navigate that process. Remember waters? Yes. And so thank

251
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,520
you, Madam Chair and I won't ask her a bunch

252
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,880
of questions online, but I do want her to call

253
00:22:15,901 --> 00:22:22,117
my office. And speak with, um, Santana Hill, leave your

254
00:22:22,117 --> 00:22:27,237
contact information, please so that we can take a look

255
00:22:27,578 --> 00:22:31,634
into this. Nobody is supposed to be forced out if

256
00:22:31,674 --> 00:22:33,634
they don't want to leave. Right. And that is just

257
00:22:33,895 --> 00:22:36,274
the bottom line. So I don't, I don't understand that.

258
00:22:36,973 --> 00:22:45,032
Uh, so please call us at 313 628 2363. 313

259
00:22:46,653 --> 00:22:53,851
628 2363. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you member waters.

260
00:22:53,851 --> 00:22:57,924
Thank you for calling in, Alicia. Please do call member

261
00:22:58,025 --> 00:23:03,414
waters to let us know about your situation. Uh, Ms.

262
00:23:03,435 --> 00:23:06,934
Kang, who do we have next? Our last collar is

263
00:23:07,195 --> 00:23:09,894
phone number ending in 1, 2, 4 before we go

264
00:23:09,934 --> 00:23:14,856
back to the top of the queue. Caller, ending in

265
00:23:14,856 --> 00:23:24,826
124, you're up next. Collar ending in 1,

266
00:23:24,826 --> 00:23:27,511
2, 4. If you can hear us. We cannot hear

267
00:23:27,532 --> 00:23:37,042
you. Unfortunately, since we can't hear

268
00:23:37,063 --> 00:23:41,282
you, I believe we are going to miss Maddox next.

269
00:23:42,749 --> 00:23:45,688
If you are our caller ending in 124, we will

270
00:23:45,688 --> 00:23:49,208
call back, we will call back on you once we've

271
00:23:49,248 --> 00:23:54,088
heard from this medics. But to move us along, coloring

272
00:23:54,109 --> 00:23:56,888
in 124, we still cannot hear from you. So we're

273
00:23:56,888 --> 00:23:59,288
going to add it to the bottom of the queue.

274
00:24:00,492 --> 00:24:03,031
And I believe we can bring up Miss Maddox now.

275
00:24:03,031 --> 00:24:05,111
Ms. Maddox, if you can hear us, we're making you

276
00:24:05,151 --> 00:24:08,059
a panelist. And you should be able to a mute

277
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,859
yourself and make your general public comment.

278
00:24:17,952 --> 00:24:20,011
Oh, Ms. Maddox, if you're speaking, we still cannot hear

279
00:24:20,032 --> 00:24:26,026
you. Unfortunately, we are at the bottom of the queue

280
00:24:26,047 --> 00:24:30,454
now. But you have been made a panelists. You are

281
00:24:30,494 --> 00:24:34,102
muted on RNs. We still cannot hear you, Ms. Maddox.

282
00:24:40,595 --> 00:24:43,774
Miss Marx, unfortunately, I'm going to have to invite you

283
00:24:44,115 --> 00:24:48,814
to make public comment tomorrow during formal session. It was

284
00:24:48,835 --> 00:24:51,694
so good to see you this weekend at the elections

285
00:24:51,715 --> 00:24:54,334
block party, Ms. Maddox. I'm sorry, we can't hear from

286
00:24:54,374 --> 00:24:58,014
you, but hopefully we're able to hear from you tomorrow.

287
00:24:58,014 --> 00:25:00,494
We will now go back to their caller ending in

288
00:25:00,534 --> 00:25:03,063
124. If you can hear us, you've been made a

289
00:25:03,103 --> 00:25:11,054
panelist. And you should be able to unmute yourself. Collar

290
00:25:11,155 --> 00:25:18,075
ending in 1, 2, 4. You have been unmuted. Thank

291
00:25:18,075 --> 00:25:20,155
you. I already spoke, but now you know what I

292
00:25:20,195 --> 00:25:25,038
told you before is true. Thank you. We will end

293
00:25:25,539 --> 00:25:27,918
general public comment then for this morning. Thank you everyone

294
00:25:28,019 --> 00:25:34,316
for calling in. And for making your comments, um, as

295
00:25:34,356 --> 00:25:37,596
we mentioned, Alicia, please do call member waters. Mr. Davis,

296
00:25:37,596 --> 00:25:42,236
thank you for calling in regarding the trees that still

297
00:25:42,236 --> 00:25:45,436
need to be removed. Um, Director Brundage, let me know

298
00:25:45,537 --> 00:25:48,396
that there will be somebody to pick up the tree

299
00:25:48,497 --> 00:25:53,497
debris on Apple line. Um, and director since you're listening.

300
00:25:53,497 --> 00:25:56,217
We're going to also send you some notes on some

301
00:25:56,398 --> 00:26:01,497
tree debris, um, and garbage from mortiseity makeover. That still

302
00:26:01,497 --> 00:26:03,737
needs to be picked up in some areas of the

303
00:26:03,838 --> 00:26:06,057
district. So we'll send that over to you. Thank you

304
00:26:06,057 --> 00:26:10,537
so much for always being responsive. Um, and yes, reminder

305
00:26:10,558 --> 00:26:13,577
of election day coming soon. Uh, we will make more

306
00:26:13,678 --> 00:26:16,377
reminders of that at the end of the agenda today.

307
00:26:16,377 --> 00:26:18,457
But what I'll do now is move on to unfinished

308
00:26:18,457 --> 00:26:23,977
business. Unfinished business, 5. 1, this is contract number 309

309
00:26:25,358 --> 00:26:29,657
2101. This is utilizing a hundred percent bond funding to

310
00:26:29,657 --> 00:26:37,417
provide emergency demolition at 118 West Dakota. Contractors DMC Consultants,

311
00:26:37,417 --> 00:26:42,217
they're in Detroit. This is for 28, 350. And this

312
00:26:42,217 --> 00:26:46,057
is for construction and demolition. Is there a motion to

313
00:26:46,558 --> 00:26:54,529
approve or discuss 5. 1. Objections.

314
00:26:58,084 --> 00:27:03,503
5. 1 will be approved sent to, um, new business.

315
00:27:03,503 --> 00:27:05,343
Thank you member waters. We'll be sent to new business

316
00:27:05,364 --> 00:27:10,784
with the recommendation to approve. And remember waters. I was

317
00:27:10,784 --> 00:27:15,885
given a pro tip. That I can, if we have

318
00:27:16,466 --> 00:27:18,605
a motion, I think at the end of the agenda

319
00:27:18,866 --> 00:27:21,865
or at the beginning of the agenda. Now. So, um,

320
00:27:21,986 --> 00:27:24,125
member waters, if you wouldn't mind making a motion that

321
00:27:24,165 --> 00:27:27,645
we send all approved items to new business unless otherwise

322
00:27:27,746 --> 00:27:30,925
noted, then we're good for the rest of today's session.

323
00:27:30,925 --> 00:27:33,512
If you can motion. All right. So motion to send

324
00:27:33,533 --> 00:27:38,849
all approved items to new business unless otherwise noted. That

325
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:41,569
motion would be approved. Thank you, Dr. Powers. Thank you

326
00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:48,673
member waters moving us along. 5. 2. This is the

327
00:27:49,094 --> 00:27:52,113
grants application to the U. S. Department of Justice for

328
00:27:52,294 --> 00:27:57,153
the reinvestments initiative grants. This is the grants that will

329
00:27:57,153 --> 00:28:01,745
be used for drones for DPD. Is there a motion

330
00:28:01,745 --> 00:28:06,644

there a motion to discuss. Ocean. Thank you member waters

335
00:28:31,852 --> 00:28:34,791
for 5. 3. I know that this is something that

336
00:28:34,972 --> 00:28:39,351
member McCambell had more questions on. And I'm not sure

337
00:28:39,391 --> 00:28:45,031
if he has received the answers. So I think in

338
00:28:45,031 --> 00:28:49,516
order to give him that time. Unless you have any

339
00:28:49,857 --> 00:28:52,316
strong feelings. I think it's best to bring this back

340
00:28:52,417 --> 00:28:59,364
on September 14th. Motion. Hearing no objections 5. 3 will

341
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:04,685
be brought back on September 14th. If member McCambell is

342
00:29:04,685 --> 00:29:07,305
able to join us, we can confirm whether or not

343
00:29:09,026 --> 00:29:10,525
he wants this brought back or if we can move

344
00:29:10,525 --> 00:29:13,542
this out today. Okay. But for now, we'll leave it

345
00:29:13,582 --> 00:29:22,301
as that. 5. 4. This is a petition of suave

346
00:29:22,642 --> 00:29:31,427
enterprise to vacates land. Remember Waters is their motion to

347
00:29:31,467 --> 00:29:35,462

348
00:29:35,643 --> 00:29:38,982
regarding, um, this request I would like to bring this

349
00:29:39,003 --> 00:29:42,848
back on September 14th as well. I'll just bring back

350
00:29:42,869 --> 00:29:46,368
September 14th. 5 points 4 will be brought back on

351
00:29:46,469 --> 00:29:52,690

00:29:52,871 --> 00:30:01,774

found. The discussion, remember waters. Thank you member waters. So

355
00:30:14,303 --> 00:30:18,163
this is the memo. We did receive the resolution, the

356
00:30:18,163 --> 00:30:22,903
resolution, I believe is not attached. Um, do, do, do,

357
00:30:22,943 --> 00:30:30,702
do. I'm trying to think we could walk on the

358
00:30:30,723 --> 00:30:37,942
resolution. We do have it. It's not a line item

359
00:30:38,043 --> 00:30:40,022
in on today's agenda. I don't believe. This is just

360
00:30:40,043 --> 00:30:45,454
the memo. Oh, one second.

361
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,459
Yes, it is attached, I was told. So we can

362
00:30:56,499 --> 00:31:05,555
approve it. Okay. Thank you all. Um, so member waters.

363
00:31:05,555 --> 00:31:11,395
If we wouldn't mind, um, just making sure it looks

364
00:31:11,395 --> 00:31:18,255
like it is attached in eScribe. The resolution for demolitions.

365
00:31:18,255 --> 00:31:23,215
So for 5. 5, if we can motion, we are

366
00:31:23,215 --> 00:31:29,175
walking on the resolution for 5. 5. Hearing no objections.

367
00:31:29,175 --> 00:31:34,455
We are attaching the resolution to 5. 5 regarding prioritizations

368
00:31:34,495 --> 00:31:38,535
of demolitions. Is there a motion to, oh, sorry. Yes,

369
00:31:38,535 --> 00:31:41,503
Madir Clerk. I'm looking at eScribe now. I don't see

370
00:31:41,543 --> 00:31:44,783
the resolution attached, but I do see a resol request.

371
00:31:44,783 --> 00:31:46,303
So if we could just get the resolution to our

372
00:31:46,343 --> 00:31:50,943
office prior to tomorrow. Okay. Chair, it's been sent to

373
00:31:51,204 --> 00:31:54,482
ESCRAB. It hasn't been posted yet. Understand committee has it.

374
00:31:55,457 --> 00:32:00,778
It's processed. Okay. There's been some delays recently and getting

375
00:32:00,879 --> 00:32:07,347
things posted and eScript. Okay. So everything as is is

376
00:32:07,347 --> 00:32:11,747
still proper Dr. Powers. We attach the resolution. It is

377
00:32:11,787 --> 00:32:18,147
on eScribe. It has not been, um, posted its processing.

378
00:32:18,147 --> 00:32:21,427
LPD? I think we've been through this before. It's, it's

379
00:32:21,467 --> 00:32:24,467
a new practice, in my experience of this committee to

380
00:32:24,488 --> 00:32:27,427
not treat the resolution as part of the, as part

381
00:32:27,427 --> 00:32:30,696
of the line item. I see the line item as

382
00:32:30,696 --> 00:32:34,696
a, as a, uh, subject matter. And you've been provided

383
00:32:34,736 --> 00:32:37,576
with the resolution now and the committee is free to

384
00:32:37,616 --> 00:32:39,896
act on it. That's my position. If the committee insists

385
00:32:39,936 --> 00:32:43,576
on treating that one document is the only relevant part.

386
00:32:43,576 --> 00:32:45,416
Then as has been discussed, you could walk it on.

387
00:32:45,456 --> 00:32:49,679
You have it. Okay. So then we are, we are

388
00:32:49,719 --> 00:32:55,642
okay. Okay. Great. Um, and herd LPD, I just want

389
00:32:55,642 --> 00:32:58,282
to make sure that what we are discussing is attached

390
00:32:58,863 --> 00:33:01,482
is approved move through. To me, it just seems cleaner

391
00:33:01,583 --> 00:33:06,282
that way. Um, so we have attached the resolution to

392
00:33:06,543 --> 00:33:09,242
five points five. It is on eScribe. It will be

393
00:33:09,343 --> 00:33:12,682
live. Uh, is there a motion to approve 5. 5.

472
00:39:38,445 --> 00:39:41,864

I'm with OCP. Good morning. Thank you for joining us.

477
00:40:00,529 --> 00:40:05,089
Miss Booker. I was wondering, um, if you wouldn't mind

478
00:40:05,129 --> 00:40:09,209
sharing with us The Bidding Process for this contract, as

479
00:40:09,209 --> 00:40:12,609
you know, we are, um, trying to bring things in

480
00:40:12,609 --> 00:40:15,889
house. And a third party billing seems like something that

481
00:40:16,310 --> 00:40:18,569
we might be able to have here in Michigan. So

482
00:40:18,569 --> 00:40:20,449
if you wouldn't mind just sharing with us how this

483
00:40:20,470 --> 00:40:26,049
bid process, um, the responses and the possibility of bringing

484
00:40:26,070 --> 00:40:31,866
this in house. Or at least into the states. Um,

485
00:40:32,447 --> 00:40:36,666
why can't speak to the chair? I cannot speak to

486
00:40:37,407 --> 00:40:44,666
the, um, ability for the health department to bring the

487
00:40:44,687 --> 00:40:46,826
work in - house. I would leave that to them.

488
00:40:46,826 --> 00:40:50,506
I, from what I understand, this is a grant funded,

489
00:40:50,506 --> 00:40:54,666
um, uh, project. And so, um, they have outsourced it

490
00:40:54,706 --> 00:40:59,786
due to, uh, uh, reasons, you know, of their own.

491
00:40:59,786 --> 00:41:05,706
This was produced as an RFQ. We received three responses.

492
00:41:07,813 --> 00:41:11,911
Only two of them were responsible and responsive. Um, there

493
00:41:11,951 --> 00:41:18,575
was a city of Detroit based organization. But I was

494
00:41:18,596 --> 00:41:26,311
not able to. Feel, feel their reference to they were

495
00:41:26,492 --> 00:41:31,511
determined to be, um, ineligible for award due to that

496
00:41:31,692 --> 00:41:39,768
fact. Okay. Uh, thank you. Ms. Khan, assuming Christine the

497
00:41:39,768 --> 00:41:43,288

498
00:41:43,288 --> 00:41:47,288
questions and will be for the health departments. Um, are

499
00:41:47,328 --> 00:41:51,128
for the health department. Um, Mr. Washington, do we have

500
00:41:51,128 --> 00:41:55,800

the questions now. Okay. Thank you. Is there a motion

508
00:42:27,883 --> 00:42:33,360

511
00:42:48,116 --> 00:42:51,076
Deputy. Whenever you can, if you wouldn't, oh, if you're

512
00:42:51,076 --> 00:42:53,796
speaking, we cannot hear you. But if you wouldn't mind

513
00:42:54,377 --> 00:43:01,318
sharing your name entitled for the public. My name is

514
00:43:02,379 --> 00:43:06,038
Christina Floyd, Deppie Director Public Offrey HDR Health Department. Citizen

515
00:43:06,299 --> 00:43:11,909
Boja do. Oh, Deputy, we can't hear you. You're a

516
00:43:11,909 --> 00:43:20,245
little choppy. No, ma'am. You may it might be better

517
00:43:20,266 --> 00:43:22,565
if you're off screen. If you want to train your

518
00:43:22,586 --> 00:43:27,334
video off, maybe that'll help your signal. Okay. There you

519
00:43:27,334 --> 00:43:33,099
go. Is that better. Slightly better. Slightly butter. Okay. We

520
00:43:33,139 --> 00:43:35,739
can try to have this conversation and we'll see how

521
00:43:35,779 --> 00:43:39,982
it goes. Yes. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you. It sounds

522
00:43:39,982 --> 00:43:43,082
like you ran out. I appreciate that. And also, uh,

523
00:43:43,082 --> 00:43:45,582
I hope you're staying safe. Um, but just have brief

524
00:43:45,603 --> 00:43:50,302
questions. This is regarding your grant funded contract for third

525
00:43:50,403 --> 00:43:53,422
party medical billing. If you wouldn't mind just sharing with

526
00:43:53,523 --> 00:43:56,422
us, um, one, do we always do this kind of

527
00:43:57,043 --> 00:44:02,932
billing through grants funded, uh, through, through grant funding. So

528
00:44:03,033 --> 00:44:06,852
through the chair, the medical building is for our programs

529
00:44:06,892 --> 00:44:11,092
that are able to provide, uh, services that can generate

530
00:44:11,353 --> 00:44:18,452
revenue. And so for Medicaid, like rates, uh, private insurances

531
00:44:18,793 --> 00:44:23,152
of our immunizations, uh, reproductive health and so on. And

532
00:44:23,152 --> 00:44:27,252
so because those are grant funded, we do provide that,

533
00:44:27,252 --> 00:44:31,692
uh, payment for the, uh, service through Grandfast to be

534
00:44:31,692 --> 00:44:34,772
able to then, uh, generate and recoup the funds that

535
00:44:34,772 --> 00:44:37,812
we're able to get from insurance companies as we medical

536
00:44:37,833 --> 00:44:43,182
bill. Okay. Thank you. That makes sense. I am wondering

537
00:44:44,003 --> 00:44:46,142
then, um, as you know, we're trying to bring things

538
00:44:46,323 --> 00:44:48,782
in house to the city and to the states. This

539
00:44:48,782 --> 00:44:51,982
is a one year contract. Um, is there a possibility

540
00:44:52,003 --> 00:44:56,282
to try to get, uh, this medical billing services, um,

541
00:44:56,963 --> 00:45:03,090
closer to home. Through the chair, uh, that is something

542
00:45:03,130 --> 00:45:06,210
that we, we can explore. But as of right now,

543
00:45:06,210 --> 00:45:08,530
we want to make sure that we have, um, everything

544
00:45:08,951 --> 00:45:12,190
in place that we need, especially with both our, um,

545
00:45:12,631 --> 00:45:16,050
our actual, uh, electronic health record system and the systems

546
00:45:16,050 --> 00:45:18,690
we have in place to be able to build correctly.

547
00:45:18,690 --> 00:45:20,530
There may be something in the future that we can,

548
00:45:20,530 --> 00:45:24,970
uh, uh, look, uh, explore. But we definitely want to

549
00:45:24,970 --> 00:45:28,290
make sure that we have a system in place before

550
00:45:28,631 --> 00:45:32,770
kind of making that leap into being able to bring

551
00:45:32,791 --> 00:45:36,540
it in house. Heard. Okay. So we need to set

552
00:45:36,580 --> 00:45:38,620
up the systems to be able to do this in

553
00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:42,680
- house. Um, okay, we can work on that. Uh,

554
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,740
I know plenty of people that do medical billing seems

555
00:45:45,740 --> 00:45:47,660
to be like a good job. So I think it

556
00:45:47,660 --> 00:45:49,900
would be nice to do it here, uh, with our

557
00:45:49,921 --> 00:45:54,300
residents. Um, or with local vendors. Um, those were my

558
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:57,020
main questions. Thank you so much, Deputy. I see no

559
00:45:57,060 --> 00:45:58,940
other questions. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your

560
00:45:58,980 --> 00:46:02,571
day. Thank you through the chair. I have a great

561
00:46:02,571 --> 00:46:05,051
day. You as well. Is there a motion to approve

562
00:46:05,392 --> 00:46:09,131
6. 2 motion. Hearing no objection 6. 2 would be

563
00:46:09,171 --> 00:46:12,651
approved sent to new business with the recommendation to approve.

564
00:46:13,972 --> 00:46:19,558
I will move us now under the law department. 6.

565
00:46:19,558 --> 00:46:25,318
3. This is a resolution requesting the official establishments of

566
00:46:25,358 --> 00:46:29,478
the Ride to Rise Program for Detroit's K through 12

567
00:46:29,579 --> 00:46:35,345
students. Is there a motion to approve with discussion. Thank

568
00:46:35,345 --> 00:46:38,865
you member waters. I believe we should have director Kramer

569
00:46:38,865 --> 00:46:41,425

570
00:46:41,425 --> 00:46:50,795

00:46:50,795 --> 00:46:52,875
moved over to panelists. Thank you.

572
00:47:01,842 --> 00:47:04,221
Am I the right direction, Madam Chair or am I

576
00:47:17,347 --> 00:47:20,947
in mind state and your name entitled for The PublicRamer,

577
00:47:20,947 --> 00:47:23,970
executive director of transit for the city. Uh, good morning

578
00:47:24,151 --> 00:47:28,050
director. Thank you for joining us. Um, we are discussing

579
00:47:28,471 --> 00:47:32,290
the Ride to Rise Program Resolution. And I wanted to

580
00:47:32,290 --> 00:47:34,210
bring you in to just give us an update on

581
00:47:34,391 --> 00:47:37,970
how the program has been going so far. Um, I've

582
00:47:37,991 --> 00:47:43,710
heard success. And, um, where we are moving forward, um,

583
00:47:44,071 --> 00:47:47,283
given what we've learned about The Program. Absolutely. Thank you

584
00:47:47,283 --> 00:47:52,083
for the opportunity. Uh, so the Rise Program started in

585
00:47:52,083 --> 00:47:57,843
the beginning of April. And with the, um, opportunity for

586
00:47:57,864 --> 00:48:01,123
students to show their ID and Ride for free. Since

587
00:48:01,123 --> 00:48:03,603
then, uh, we've seen at least double the number of

588
00:48:03,864 --> 00:48:08,083
rides students are taking. Of course, this is available 24

589
00:48:08,264 --> 00:48:12,323
seven, 365. And it's something that we see even in

590
00:48:12,323 --> 00:48:16,323
the summer months, uh, student rides are continuing to track,

591
00:48:16,323 --> 00:48:19,203
um, significantly higher than they were before. So we're excited

592
00:48:21,624 --> 00:48:25,283
and energized by the results so far. And really looking

593
00:48:25,464 --> 00:48:30,803
for the six month pilot was, um, essentially the council's

594
00:48:30,803 --> 00:48:36,223
resolution that changed the fair to zero dollars temporarily. And

595
00:48:36,223 --> 00:48:38,483
in some analysis, kind of seeing how the program is

596
00:48:38,523 --> 00:48:41,603
working, consulting with the law department, kind of looking at

597
00:48:41,704 --> 00:48:45,363
opportunities for making the sustainable in the future. Uh, we

598
00:48:45,403 --> 00:48:48,083
actually believe that the best path forward to continue this

599
00:48:48,104 --> 00:48:53,123
is to allow the fair structure and ordinance to revert

600
00:48:53,144 --> 00:48:56,403
back to its original form, which officially has a student

601
00:48:57,064 --> 00:49:00,083
reduced fare, uh, for K - 12 students of 50

602
00:49:00,104 --> 00:49:04,083
cents per ride, 17 dollars a month and were prepared

603
00:49:04,184 --> 00:49:09,123
to, uh, implement a program that will actually help us

604
00:49:09,464 --> 00:49:13,123
track those rides. So the experience that students would experience,

605
00:49:13,123 --> 00:49:16,403
uh, that would students would have on the bus would

606
00:49:16,443 --> 00:49:19,763
remain unchanged. They're still not going to be paying for,

607
00:49:19,763 --> 00:49:22,483
uh, any of their rides. But with the fair structure

608
00:49:22,824 --> 00:49:24,883
in place and a way for us to track the

609
00:49:25,064 --> 00:49:28,163
rides that are taken, uh, were then basically accounting and

610
00:49:28,203 --> 00:49:31,283
accruing those. And then, uh, have opportunities to be able

611
00:49:31,283 --> 00:49:36,003
to, uh, seek reimbursement through a state federal grants or

612
00:49:36,043 --> 00:49:39,203
for through philanthropy. And in this case, the good news

613
00:49:39,243 --> 00:49:43,203
is that, um, a few weeks ago in the state's

614
00:49:43,203 --> 00:49:47,203
budget approval for 2027, there was a million dollars specifically

615
00:49:47,304 --> 00:49:52,003
set aside to support, uh, Detroit rides, uh, student rights

616
00:49:52,344 --> 00:49:55,923
to education. So we have a funding source that's available.

617
00:49:55,923 --> 00:49:59,443
We believe, uh, with law, we've got, uh, system to

618
00:49:59,443 --> 00:50:02,803
administer this program so that students can continue to use

619
00:50:03,624 --> 00:50:08,883
public transportation for free. And this is the, uh, kind

620
00:50:08,883 --> 00:50:11,043
of state rat right now and just excited for the

621
00:50:11,144 --> 00:50:17,861
continued support of the council. Thank you, Director. This is

622
00:50:17,962 --> 00:50:22,021
very exciting. Member waters are very happy to hear that

623
00:50:22,061 --> 00:50:24,981
we've got students on the buses, um, at double the

624
00:50:25,002 --> 00:50:29,461
rates. Um, and, uh, this resolution is to continue to

625
00:50:29,501 --> 00:50:34,481
support that, which I am incredibly happy to support. Um,

626
00:50:34,682 --> 00:50:38,981
I just want to share how nice it's been to

627
00:50:39,002 --> 00:50:42,341
see the people mover go free and just the impact

628
00:50:42,442 --> 00:50:45,701
that it's made on ridership now seeing free rides for

629
00:50:45,722 --> 00:50:50,741
students and a doubling ridership really just, I think emphasizes

630
00:50:50,842 --> 00:50:53,381
a need for us to make transit free in general.

631
00:50:53,381 --> 00:50:55,221
We will continue to work to see what we can

632
00:50:55,242 --> 00:50:58,101
do. Um, but this makes me excited to think that

633
00:50:58,202 --> 00:51:02,981
maybe we can again, the idea of providing, uh, free

634
00:51:03,021 --> 00:51:07,701
rides in the summer when the heat is high when

635
00:51:07,701 --> 00:51:10,101
we have poor air quality. And if we're trying to

636
00:51:10,122 --> 00:51:14,661
reduce vehicles, um, to, to reduce the impacts of bad

637
00:51:14,701 --> 00:51:17,381
air quality, um, maybe we can get the states to

638
00:51:17,402 --> 00:51:21,221
find free, free buses in the summer as well. We'll

639
00:51:21,242 --> 00:51:24,421
keep working on that. But thank you, Director. Um, member

640
00:51:24,442 --> 00:51:27,781
Waters, any thoughts, comments. If not, I believe there was

641
00:51:27,802 --> 00:51:31,243
a motion to approve. Motion to a point. Hearing no

642
00:51:31,243 --> 00:51:34,363
objection. 6. 3 will be approved since two new business

643
00:51:34,464 --> 00:51:38,299
with the recommendation to approve. Thank you, Director. Thank you.

644
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:44,249
Moving us along to the Office of Chief Financial Officer

645
00:51:44,590 --> 00:51:49,074
Office of Development in Grants. 6. 4, this is the

646
00:51:50,695 --> 00:51:54,274
Grant's application to the Michigan Department of Environments, Great Lakes

647
00:51:54,314 --> 00:51:58,914
and Energy Eagle for the Michigan Brownfield Redevelopment Program Grants.

648
00:52:00,791 --> 00:52:04,050
Is there a motion to approve or discuss 6. 4

649
00:52:05,431 --> 00:52:11,090
discuss? Discussion for discussion for 6. 4, we should have

659
00:53:04,261 --> 00:53:07,761
And so good morning. Um, just a few questions. One

660
00:53:07,761 --> 00:53:13,061
I want to understand in what contain minutes we have.

661
00:53:14,740 --> 00:53:23,919
I couldn't find it. Then the 591 K. What is

662
00:53:24,100 --> 00:53:26,559
response activity? If you can just kind of explain that

663
00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:33,193
to us. Um, is this for an affordable housing project.

664
00:53:33,193 --> 00:53:36,553
If so, what is it? What would be the AMI

665
00:53:37,374 --> 00:53:40,364
if that's the purpose of it. And then it says

666
00:53:40,705 --> 00:53:46,204
1 36 K are for other experts. So what are

667
00:53:46,204 --> 00:53:53,764
those. Okay. Um, we might need to bring the needle

668
00:53:53,764 --> 00:53:55,924
on. I can't tell you a few things. This is

669
00:53:55,924 --> 00:54:03,604
for housing projects in, um, Southwest Detroit, uh, response activity

670
00:54:03,644 --> 00:54:09,970
plan is our. Is our response to the contamination soil.

671
00:54:09,970 --> 00:54:12,130
So that will be the removal and replacement of the

672
00:54:12,311 --> 00:54:20,581
soil. Okay. Here is Anita. If we can make Anita

673
00:54:20,602 --> 00:54:24,341
into a panelist. Oh, we see you now if you

674
00:54:24,381 --> 00:54:25,861
would in mind seating your name entitled for The Public.

675
00:54:27,179 --> 00:54:31,318
Anita Harrington Environmental Specialist 3 with BC to environmental affairs.

676
00:54:32,251 --> 00:54:36,770
Thank you for joining. Uh, I think, remember Waters. Did

677
00:54:36,770 --> 00:54:40,683
you want to repeat your questions. Okay. Well, I was,

678
00:54:40,683 --> 00:54:43,323
I was asking what type of contaminants that we have.

679
00:54:46,946 --> 00:54:51,645
And just a better explanation for the 509K for response.

680
00:54:52,492 --> 00:54:55,751
And Ms. Rogers did kind of, um, refer to that

681
00:54:56,332 --> 00:54:59,466
a little bit. And then tell us about the affordable

682
00:54:59,487 --> 00:55:06,771
housing piece. And 1 36 K, other expenses, what's other

683
00:55:06,792 --> 00:55:14,119
expenses. Okay. Yes. Thank you. Um, so the contaminants of

684
00:55:14,159 --> 00:55:23,239
concern are mainly semivolatil and metals. And they are exceeding

685
00:55:23,580 --> 00:55:28,039
dermal contact. So a dermal contact, um, barrier will be

686
00:55:28,039 --> 00:55:33,438
needed as well as excavation of soil. And then, um,

687
00:55:33,799 --> 00:55:38,258
the 136, 000 other, uh, that generally I'd have to

688
00:55:38,258 --> 00:55:40,098
go back and look for sure, but I believe what

689
00:55:40,138 --> 00:55:45,378
that is for is, um, additional like, um, operation and

690
00:55:45,378 --> 00:55:51,538
maintenance plans as well as, um, when the property is

691
00:55:51,578 --> 00:55:56,144
transferred, a baseline environmental assessment will be needed. For the

692
00:55:56,325 --> 00:56:01,264
entities that, um, take on that, those, uh, the ownership.

693
00:56:03,521 --> 00:56:08,261
And then you asked another question. Oh, that it's, uh,

694
00:56:08,261 --> 00:56:11,741
it is affordable housing. It's a 71 units. Most of

695
00:56:11,741 --> 00:56:16,261
them will be, um, affordable units at 81 percent.

696
00:56:22,210 --> 00:56:30,673
I'm sorry. I forget the term apologies. Okay. I don't

697
00:56:30,673 --> 00:56:35,286
think 80 percent is affordable. But okay, if you guys

698
00:56:35,387 --> 00:56:42,316
say so. Um, all right. Thank you. We can provide

699
00:56:42,337 --> 00:56:44,956
more details too. Like I said, I, I'm just thinking

700
00:56:44,977 --> 00:56:46,956
off the top of my head and I can provide

701
00:56:47,137 --> 00:56:51,956
the additional information. You certainly did provide some explanation. If

702
00:56:51,956 --> 00:56:55,916
I need more, I'll ask, Madam Chair here, she appears

703
00:56:55,916 --> 00:57:00,544
to be very familiar with the project. Thank you member

704
00:57:00,725 --> 00:57:04,944
waters. Yeah. No, this is for a project in Corktown.

705
00:57:07,726 --> 00:57:12,665
And as you mentioned, uh, we've do have, this is,

706
00:57:12,665 --> 00:57:15,385
we've got a lot of mixed use projects coming into

707
00:57:15,486 --> 00:57:19,945
the neighborhood. A lot of them are starting at 80.

708
00:57:19,945 --> 00:57:22,885
We are pushing for more to be at 60. Um,

709
00:57:23,726 --> 00:57:27,465
and this is to support those efforts of mixed use

710
00:57:27,505 --> 00:57:31,705
development. Um, but I appreciate the questions. I don't have

711

818
01:06:32,493 --> 01:06:36,613
be paired with a separate M. D. project that'll occur

819
01:06:36,634 --> 01:06:40,753
in 2027, uh, from CAF all the way to, uh,

820
01:06:41,114 --> 01:06:44,718
I - 96 for an additional streetscape project. Uh, this

821
01:06:44,739 --> 01:06:49,998
particular street scape project, uh, will provide for, uh, new

822
01:06:50,038 --> 01:06:54,998
landscaping, uh, bus loading platforms, uh, improved pedestrian crossing. So

823
01:06:55,059 --> 01:06:59,005
we'll have protected bike lanes. As well as updating the

824
01:06:59,045 --> 01:07:02,125
traffic signals, uh, and reconstructing the road as part of

825
01:07:02,125 --> 01:07:06,039
the project. Uh, one of the reasons that we requested,

826
01:07:06,039 --> 01:07:09,479
uh, that this contract be considered before COFO goes on

827
01:07:09,519 --> 01:07:13,319
recess, uh, is because this footprint of Michigan Avenue between

828
01:07:14,140 --> 01:07:17,799
campus marxists and CAS. Of course, it's downtown, but it

829
01:07:17,839 --> 01:07:22,999
also is being includes the footprint of the Weston hotel,

830
01:07:22,999 --> 01:07:26,359
which is going to be the main headquarters, uh, next

831
01:07:26,359 --> 01:07:29,319
April, uh, for when the final four comes into town

832
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:32,359
in 2027. So we're looking to get all of this

833
01:07:32,460 --> 01:07:37,478
construction work completed, uh, before the end of 2026. Okay.

834
01:07:37,819 --> 01:07:41,878
Thank you. Just, um, just wondering what the design process

835
01:07:42,059 --> 01:07:45,558
was for the new street scapes. I know there was

836
01:07:45,598 --> 01:07:48,438
a lot of engagements with MDOT for the portion and

837
01:07:48,478 --> 01:07:50,278
court town. Do you know if there was any kind

838
01:07:50,278 --> 01:07:54,390
of engagement for this portion too. Uh, there was this

839
01:07:54,430 --> 01:07:57,510
particular because it is the streetscape project. We did have

840
01:07:57,550 --> 01:08:00,373
to go through the community outward shortness process. Uh, we

841
01:08:00,394 --> 01:08:04,693
did have two meetings, one in December of 2024 and

842
01:08:04,714 --> 01:08:08,373
then one in April on April 16th and 2025. Those

843
01:08:08,373 --> 01:08:11,973
were the two community outreached, uh, two community outreach meetings

844
01:08:11,994 --> 01:08:15,973
required by the ordinance. We've also had four additional community

845
01:08:16,154 --> 01:08:20,767
meetings. That occurred in 2024 and 25. They all went

846
01:08:20,807 --> 01:08:25,526
into the ultimate design of this particular bracket. Okay. Okay.

847
01:08:25,566 --> 01:08:28,486
Thank you. I want to make sure that we have,

848
01:08:28,486 --> 01:08:32,086
uh, those receipts in case someone, uh, doesn't want a

849
01:08:32,126 --> 01:08:35,046
bike lane and such. We did provide opportunity for that

850
01:08:35,067 --> 01:08:37,206
feedback. Um, I do want to be able to share

851
01:08:37,246 --> 01:08:40,326
that. Okay. Um, member Water is any questions for this

852
01:08:40,427 --> 01:08:44,726
contract. No. All right. Is there a motion to approve

853
01:08:46,187 --> 01:08:50,966
hearing no objections. We will approve contract six zero zero

854
01:08:51,387 --> 01:08:55,206
eight zero zero zero. Send two new business with the

855
01:08:55,227 --> 01:09:00,847
recommendation to approve. We have one last walk - on

856
01:09:00,847 --> 01:09:06,407
request member. Waters. This is, um, would need a motion

857
01:09:06,447 --> 01:09:11,767
to walk on the Paradise Valley encroachment request hearing no

858
01:09:11,807 --> 01:09:16,887
objections. We will walk on the resolution. It's usually done

859
01:09:16,908 --> 01:09:21,827
through resolution or we'll walk on the encroachment request. The

860
01:09:21,827 --> 01:09:26,327
encroachment has been on director. If you wouldn't mind a

861
01:09:26,327 --> 01:09:30,567
brief discussion, remember, waters. Thank you. Director, if you wouldn't

862
01:09:30,567 --> 01:09:34,087
mind sharing, um, with us and the public what's Paradise

863
01:09:34,108 --> 01:09:39,294
Valley is requesting. Sure, I'm sure Paradise Valley is requesting

864
01:09:40,755 --> 01:09:46,159
authorization through an encroachment permit. Uh, to install enhancement in

865
01:09:46,159 --> 01:09:49,599
the E. West Public Alley bounded by Grat Shed Broadway

866
01:09:49,639 --> 01:09:55,490
and Grand River. Uh, in Randolph Street. This particular project

867
01:09:56,231 --> 01:10:02,937
is part of multiple, uh, improvements and placemaking enhancements. That

868
01:10:02,977 --> 01:10:07,077
the Paradise Valley Conservancy is making in that area. The

869
01:10:07,077 --> 01:10:11,097
enhancedness include not only improvements in public spaces in this

870
01:10:11,097 --> 01:10:16,137
particular alley, but also be a Christopher Park, Degradship Plaza,

871
01:10:16,137 --> 01:10:18,937
uh, and again, the alley that we just talked about.

872
01:10:18,958 --> 01:10:22,777
One of the reasons that we're requesting, we requested that

873
01:10:22,798 --> 01:10:26,777
this particular resolution should be moved, uh, be added on,

874
01:10:26,777 --> 01:10:31,257
uh, before Council goes on recess, uh, is because the

875
01:10:31,518 --> 01:10:35,897
paradise value association of conservacy did receive brand funding for

876
01:10:35,918 --> 01:10:40,057
the placemaking improvements that they're making to this particular alley,

877
01:10:40,057 --> 01:10:42,857
uh, and they have a requirement for this particular for

878
01:10:42,857 --> 01:10:46,457
these grand funds, uh, they have the funds, all of

879
01:10:46,497 --> 01:10:49,362
the word completed. Uh, before the end of August. So

880
01:10:49,362 --> 01:10:52,122
we wanted to work with them. They're doing great work.

881
01:10:52,122 --> 01:10:54,282
I am Paradise Valley. And if the opportunity at all

882
01:10:55,183 --> 01:10:58,122
for this encroachment permit to be approved, uh, it would

883
01:10:58,122 --> 01:11:01,242
certainly be appreciated. We did get out there approvals from

884
01:11:01,343 --> 01:11:06,122
all of the City Departments and any impact of utilities.

885
01:11:06,122 --> 01:11:09,082
No one employed any objection to this particular inculture permit

886
01:11:09,423 --> 01:11:14,796
request. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Doherty, good to see you.

887
01:11:14,796 --> 01:11:16,876
Anything else that you would like to add regarding this

888
01:11:16,897 --> 01:11:22,459
request for encroachments. Uh, no. The Director Coverting pretty well.

889
01:11:22,499 --> 01:11:27,079
There is a maintenance agreement. We've processed with the, uh,

890
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:31,819
association. So they'll be responsible to maintain all the assets

891
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,299
they place into the alley as part of the encroachments.

892
01:11:38,958 --> 01:11:42,857
Okay. Thank you. Um, so folks can look forward to

893
01:11:43,598 --> 01:11:49,497
Dr. Payment. Looks like benches, some, some overhead string lights.

894
01:11:49,497 --> 01:11:53,737
So really trying to, um, enhance this area. Okay. Thank

895
01:11:53,737 --> 01:11:56,777
you for that overview. Is there a motion to approve

896
01:11:57,038 --> 01:12:02,297
the encroachment request? Hearing no objection. This request will be

897
01:12:02,398 --> 01:12:07,417
approved sent to new business with the recommendation to approve.

898
01:12:07,417 --> 01:12:10,377
Director Brundage, will I have you on? Um, can I

899
01:12:10,377 --> 01:12:15,871
ask you a random question. I mean, I'm going to

900
01:12:15,871 --> 01:12:20,711
do it anyways. And, but Paradise Valley just makes me

901
01:12:20,711 --> 01:12:23,191
think of, of what has happened in Cities when we,

902
01:12:23,191 --> 01:12:27,591
when we bulldoze neighborhoods to build freeways, really what that's

903
01:12:27,591 --> 01:12:32,391
done in the impact to our neighborhoods. Recently saw a

904
01:12:32,391 --> 01:12:35,271
video of, I forget which city now. They built on

905
01:12:35,271 --> 01:12:38,471
top of their freeway. I know that we have, the

906
01:12:38,471 --> 01:12:41,911
discussion around I 375. Where are we in that discussion?

907
01:12:41,911 --> 01:12:45,351
Is it still happening? Because I know, uh, we did

908
01:12:45,391 --> 01:12:48,631
discuss about reimagining that freeway. Um, but it seems like

909
01:12:48,892 --> 01:12:52,551
some other cities have built over their freeways. Is there,

910
01:12:52,551 --> 01:12:57,851
is this still being discussed. Uh, there might be better

911
01:12:57,891 --> 01:13:01,771
prepared to provide a more detail response than I can.

912
01:13:01,771 --> 01:13:04,571
And Rick, if you want to tackle this, if not,

913
01:13:04,571 --> 01:13:09,410
uh, I think I can respond to some degree. I

914
01:13:09,410 --> 01:13:14,590
can certainly try. I know, uh, the 375 project, uh,

915
01:13:14,590 --> 01:13:20,530
from Gresh. It's south to the river to remove the

916
01:13:20,551 --> 01:13:23,730
below grade freeway and bring a boulevard up to street

917
01:13:23,751 --> 01:13:28,050
level that that efforts well underway. We're doing plan reviews

918
01:13:28,391 --> 01:13:31,810
with, uh, with M. to ensure that, uh, as that

919
01:13:31,911 --> 01:13:35,470
Boulevard comes through, how it interacts with our streets, uh,

920
01:13:36,071 --> 01:13:38,770
you know, we're able to weigh in and make sure

921
01:13:38,810 --> 01:13:44,290
that there's good consideration for, uh, accessibility, uh, the ability

922
01:13:44,330 --> 01:13:47,090
to cross, obviously with that work, there will be some

923
01:13:48,071 --> 01:13:51,730
land that will be developable out of the excess land

924
01:13:51,751 --> 01:13:55,010
from the freeway. So that's, uh, all part of that

925
01:13:55,031 --> 01:13:57,890
effort, but it is a downsized project. Like I said,

926
01:13:57,890 --> 01:14:02,530
it is from crash. It's south. So the final phase,

927
01:14:02,530 --> 01:14:08,850
uh, Crescia North to where 75 curves, uh, west across

928
01:14:09,031 --> 01:14:13,630
downtown, uh, that second phase still needs to be, uh,

929
01:14:13,991 --> 01:14:18,530
finalized. And I know downtown Detroit partnership is working with

930
01:14:19,031 --> 01:14:24,050
M. on an effort to, uh, bridge across 75 at

931
01:14:24,050 --> 01:14:30,210
several points with more of a streetscape style, bridges and

932
01:14:30,210 --> 01:14:37,810
that, uh, to, uh, to improve connectivity from basically large

933
01:14:37,850 --> 01:14:42,970
freeway all the way to, uh, 75, 375 interchange. So

934
01:14:43,111 --> 01:14:46,690
I know the public input into those efforts as well.

935
01:14:48,810 --> 01:14:53,989
Okay. Great. Thank you. I, I appreciate the updates because

936
01:14:53,989 --> 01:14:56,629
we haven't heard anything. I haven't heard anything. Remember waters?

937
01:14:57,050 --> 01:15:01,269
Yeah. And thank you. You know, I have issues with

938
01:15:01,450 --> 01:15:05,269
that project first and foremost. Then the state has not

939
01:15:06,010 --> 01:15:10,789
done what they have been totally disrespectful of this, of

940
01:15:10,890 --> 01:15:13,829
this body. In fact, they've been making all of these

941
01:15:14,170 --> 01:15:18,469
plans. The community is not engaged enough. I live right

942
01:15:18,509 --> 01:15:21,589
there myself. You would think that somebody would care about

943
01:15:23,050 --> 01:15:24,949
what I thought. Since I have to vote on this

944
01:15:25,050 --> 01:15:29,269
project. So I'm thinking people who don't live in that

945
01:15:29,290 --> 01:15:32,229
neighborhood and making all of these plans, all of these

946
01:15:32,250 --> 01:15:35,429
decisions. And they're not keeping us in the loop. Well,

947
01:15:35,429 --> 01:15:37,989
I just, I just resented. So if you guys could

948
01:15:38,029 --> 01:15:40,789
just let them know, um, I mean, I take issue

949
01:15:40,970 --> 01:15:43,509
with it. In fact, I love being able to get

950
01:15:44,010 --> 01:15:47,349
on and off the freeway real fast. So to tell

951
01:15:47,349 --> 01:15:50,291
you the truth. So I'm not a fan of the

952
01:15:50,291 --> 01:15:53,091
project. Somebody's going to have to show me something a

953
01:15:53,091 --> 01:15:55,731
little bit different, you know, and I need the community

954
01:15:55,992 --> 01:15:57,971
to be excited about it. And I don't see that

955
01:15:57,971 --> 01:16:02,211
yet either. So that's my two cents worth, Madam Chair

956
01:16:02,211 --> 01:16:03,571
and, you know, you just had to get me worked

957
01:16:03,571 --> 01:16:09,491
up today about that. A little something came around. Yes,

958
01:16:09,491 --> 01:16:13,411
director. Uh, Madam Chair, we can certainly reach out to

959
01:16:13,432 --> 01:16:16,931
MDOT and request that they come to Council when you

960
01:16:16,952 --> 01:16:20,730
guys return back Marisa, September to provide you guys. An

961
01:16:20,730 --> 01:16:22,970
update on where things stand and, you know, what the

962
01:16:23,151 --> 01:16:27,479
current plans look like. That would be most excellent director.

963
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,399
Thank you so much because we do not know what's

964
01:16:29,399 --> 01:16:32,279
going on. I am being asked by the public because

965
01:16:32,279 --> 01:16:34,839
they want to provide input. And then we're seeing exciting

966
01:16:34,860 --> 01:16:38,199
new projects across the country. So would like to know,

967
01:16:38,199 --> 01:16:41,079
um, how we can make sure that we are imagining

968
01:16:41,420 --> 01:16:45,159
our city with our residents. Um, Madam Chairman. Yes, number

969
01:16:45,180 --> 01:16:50,839
waters. I have said for years when you're making plans

970
01:16:51,020 --> 01:16:55,879
that impact an entire community, the community need to be

971
01:16:56,700 --> 01:16:59,639
engaged at an intimate level. I've always felt very strong

972
01:16:59,740 --> 01:17:03,079
about that because I basically feel as though you have

973
01:17:03,340 --> 01:17:06,439
outsiders in a sense. I mean, even though some of

974
01:17:06,460 --> 01:17:08,759
some people might live in this city, but if you

975
01:17:08,759 --> 01:17:12,199
don't live in that community, I mean, I have a

976
01:17:12,199 --> 01:17:15,479
problem with that. I just believe that we should engage

977
01:17:15,740 --> 01:17:20,279
the community and it is just really does not happen.

978
01:17:20,279 --> 01:17:23,879
So anyway, that's my two sets worth. Thank you member

979
01:17:23,900 --> 01:17:26,039
Waters. Thank you director. Thank you for letting me go

980
01:17:26,060 --> 01:17:29,479
on that side quest. And yes, would like to bring

981
01:17:29,580 --> 01:17:31,719
in M. when we come back from recess to hear

982
01:17:31,759 --> 01:17:37,651
about that project. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank

983
01:17:37,691 --> 01:17:40,291
you all. Have a good rest of your day. That

984
01:17:40,291 --> 01:17:43,011
was it for our walk - on request. We do

985
01:17:43,051 --> 01:17:48,531
have to go now back to five points eight and

986
01:17:48,531 --> 01:17:52,131
five point nine. So I tried my best to give

987
01:17:52,392 --> 01:17:55,891
member Mickey Anvil some time. Um, but I think what

988
01:17:55,912 --> 01:17:59,651
we'll do now is we will bring back 5. 8

989
01:17:59,832 --> 01:18:04,691
and 5. 9 on September 14th. Motion. Hearing no objections

990
01:18:05,272 --> 01:18:08,531
5. 8 and 5. 9 will be brought back on

991
01:18:08,712 --> 01:18:14,851
September 14th. I believe Council Member McCambell's walking in. Oh,

992
01:18:14,851 --> 01:18:19,971
awesome. You should remember Water said too late. Remember McCambell,

993
01:18:19,971 --> 01:18:23,731
we are still here. Thank you, Ms. Khan for letting

994
01:18:23,731 --> 01:18:27,331
us know. I have a note here for 6. 2.

995
01:18:27,331 --> 01:18:30,531
Madam Clerk. Did we already vote and discuss 6. 2.

996
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,819
Was moles to new business 6. 2 was moved to

997
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:41,339
new business. And if the clerk can please note, we've

998
01:18:41,339 --> 01:18:48,589
been joined by member McCambell. Thank you. Good morning. Sir,

999
01:18:48,589 --> 01:18:54,683
I know. Objection. Um, we are close to the end

1000
01:18:54,723 --> 01:19:01,003
here. Remember McCambell, I know you were dealing with personal

1001
01:19:02,464 --> 01:19:07,443
issues this morning. But, uh, we did want to, we

1002
01:19:07,443 --> 01:19:10,483
did just bring back 5. 8 and 5. 9. We

1003
01:19:10,483 --> 01:19:14,043
can also discuss if you would like. But these are

1004
01:19:14,464 --> 01:19:20,923
the memos regarding 5. 8 was regarding a firework curfews.

1005
01:19:20,923 --> 01:19:25,723
5. 9 was regarding the REAL ROARE tracks improvements in

1006
01:19:25,723 --> 01:19:33,187
D7. Thank you, Madam Chair. And good morning, everyone. Um,

1007
01:19:33,388 --> 01:19:42,407
if we could discuss 5. 8, we can discuss 5.

1008
01:19:42,407 --> 01:19:46,727
8 and 45. 8. Ms. Sullivan, who do we have

1009
01:19:46,727 --> 01:19:53,363
to discuss 5. 8. Before I wanted to discuss about

1010
01:19:53,544 --> 01:19:57,683
is that, um, 5. 9, they're now on E -

1011
01:19:57,723 --> 01:20:01,536
Scry. They're not on ESPS. Yeah. So wondering if we

1012
01:20:01,637 --> 01:20:08,656
could get that up there on eScribe if possible. Yeah.

1013
01:20:08,677 --> 01:20:13,216
I think so too, was this worked on by LPD?

1014
01:20:13,216 --> 01:20:15,456
It wasn't, it was by the departments. Okay. So we

1015
01:20:15,496 --> 01:20:20,896
have been discussing eScribe, the lag. Not sure if this

1016
01:20:20,896 --> 01:20:23,856
has already, no, response has been received. It hasn't been

1017
01:20:23,877 --> 01:20:27,536
uploaded to eScribe. So maybe that's the case for this

1018
01:20:27,576 --> 01:20:31,536
as well. Um, same for 5. 9 describe. Yeah. Item

1019
01:20:31,557 --> 01:20:34,656
received not on eScribe. So we can just confirm with

1020
01:20:34,757 --> 01:20:39,056
the administration, um, that this is already attached to eScribe

1021
01:20:39,056 --> 01:20:42,016
just to ensure that's the case, Ms. Sullivan, if you

1022
01:20:42,016 --> 01:20:48,256
are on with us, would you happen to know if

1023
01:20:48,437 --> 01:20:52,896
the appropriate departments for 5. 8 and 5. 9 submitted

1024
01:20:52,936 --> 01:20:57,691
their responses to E scribe. Good afternoon through the chair.

1025
01:20:57,691 --> 01:21:00,811
I do not believe these items were submitted through eScribe,

1026
01:21:00,811 --> 01:21:02,171
but we can work with the clerk's office to get

1027
01:21:02,192 --> 01:21:06,939
them attached. Okay. So the request to attach these to

1028
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:11,845
E scribe. It's a mountain chair. Yes, vice chair. So

1029
01:21:11,845 --> 01:21:14,885
we can make sure that it is a motion to

1030
01:21:14,885 --> 01:21:19,417
bring back five point in and 5. 9. Those motions

1031
01:21:19,598 --> 01:21:23,177
have been approved. Yes. Okay. We brought those back for

1032
01:21:23,177 --> 01:21:26,951
you. You good? Yep. Cool. All right. So then is

1033
01:21:26,991 --> 01:21:29,191
there anything else, sir? We are at the bottom of

1034
01:21:29,231 --> 01:21:32,631
the agenda. We have not done member reports just yet,

1035
01:21:32,631 --> 01:21:35,351
but we are here. We did approve all of the

1036
01:21:35,391 --> 01:21:38,711
items on the agenda. We moved everything out to new

1037
01:21:38,751 --> 01:21:42,471
business. Um, everything was sent out with motion to approve

1038
01:21:43,052 --> 01:21:46,151
memos were brought back that had not been responded to.

1039
01:21:46,151 --> 01:21:48,711
Is there anything on the agenda that you want to

1040
01:21:48,812 --> 01:21:54,071
change or discuss? Hope I'm also a member reports, member

1041
01:21:54,071 --> 01:22:01,572
waters. No report. Remember McCambell? Uh, no report. All right.

1042
01:22:01,673 --> 01:22:04,212
For myself, just want to remind everyone that it is

1043
01:22:04,793 --> 01:22:08,212
election day today. A voting early has started. I have

1044
01:22:08,233 --> 01:22:12,132

1046
01:22:16,892 --> 01:22:20,212

1047
01:22:20,212 --> 01:22:21,972
of us. So if you are able to, I hope

1048
01:22:21,972 --> 01:22:25,972
you're able to rest this August. I know for our

1049
01:22:26,012 --> 01:22:27,892
office, if you're going to be looking for us, we

1050
01:22:27,993 --> 01:22:31,652

1051
01:22:31,692 --> 01:22:34,452
weeks of August, um, but we will be back on.

1052
01:22:35,187 --> 01:22:37,966
September, August 31st. What we're going to be back that

1053
01:22:38,006 --> 01:22:40,766
week, um, to get us started. No, we won't. We

1054
01:22:40,787 --> 01:22:43,486
will be back September 7th. We will be back that

1055
01:22:43,526 --> 01:22:46,446
week. Um, but City Council will be back on the

1056
01:22:47,107 --> 01:22:51,435
fifth, on the 8th. I'm done, you guys. It's been

1057
01:22:51,435 --> 01:22:54,315
a long time. Yes, vice chair. Thank you. And thank

1058
01:22:54,315 --> 01:22:57,835
you for bringing up that election day. That's August 4th.

1059
01:22:57,835 --> 01:23:00,315
Just if you, just to remind folks, if you do

1060
01:23:00,315 --> 01:23:02,795
have the absentee ballot, it is recommended that you drop

1061
01:23:02,835 --> 01:23:05,515
it off at one of the mini drop boxes across

1062
01:23:05,555 --> 01:23:08,075
the city. Um, and also please make sure you sign

1063
01:23:08,976 --> 01:23:12,235
the envelope that you put your absentee ballot here. Thank

1064
01:23:12,235 --> 01:23:16,715
you. Thank you. There was also during public comments reminders

1065
01:23:16,896 --> 01:23:21,515
that, um, buses will be free as well on election

1066
01:23:21,536 --> 01:23:26,635
day. There was a question though of if paratransit services

1067
01:23:26,896 --> 01:23:33,155
will also be free for election day. Um, Sullivan, I

1068
01:23:33,155 --> 01:23:37,235
believe tomorrow Council will also remind The Public's Votes. If

1069
01:23:37,235 --> 01:23:41,035
you wouldn't mind, um, letting us know as well what

1070
01:23:41,075 --> 01:23:44,715
other transit opportunities will be provided if para transit will

1071
01:23:44,816 --> 01:23:47,595
be, will be free as well. Um, there was a

1072
01:23:47,696 --> 01:23:51,835
question on fixed lines. Um, I do know that D.

1073
01:23:51,875 --> 01:23:54,235
will be free. But wondering if he would in mind

1074
01:23:54,336 --> 01:23:57,965
confirming the other transit services tomorrow. Through the chair, we

1075
01:23:57,965 --> 01:24:00,165
can follow up with the department and follow up in

1076
01:24:00,165 --> 01:24:03,425
writing with the response. Okay. And if we could, uh,

1077
01:24:03,706 --> 01:24:06,325
be prepared to share that with the public tomorrow. That

1078
01:24:06,325 --> 01:24:10,045
would be great. Okay. Um, all right everyone, that is

1079
01:24:10,045 --> 01:24:13,365
it for me. Since the now adjourned.
