[41:17]
We're now into open business.
Do we have anything that you need to No.
[41:23]
Nothing online. We'll take the audience
first. Anybody from the audience?
[41:29]
» Yeah.
[41:36]
So, my name is Anissa Kaya and I live at
11009 Beachwood Court. So, I don't know
[41:41]
if you need to know that. So, I'm here
I'm about um I'm here for something that
[41:47]
happened. So, um I'm here about the the
loitering and the begging that's going
[41:54]
on on the streets in Taylor. So I was in
the fast lane on telegraph going towards
[41:59]
north uh Vanborn and um there's always
somebody begging in the middle of the
[42:05]
median which is dangerous and I know I
have a brother who was a policeman for
[42:09]
25 years and he said that that is um
impeding traffic. So the guy in front of
[42:14]
me so the light's green and the guy in
front of me decides to stop and be kind
[42:17]
and give the um beggar money and I
almost hit them rear ended them and so
[42:24]
whose fault is that? Well, the fault is
to the homeless person because or to the
[42:29]
beggar because I'm not going to call
them homeless because most of those
[42:33]
people that are begging on the streets
look like able-bodied men. And I do have
[42:38]
empathy for veterans that are homeless
and that they beg and stuff like that,
[42:42]
but this is ridiculous in Taylor. So, I
almost hit the car in front of me
[42:46]
because he stopped to give them a
donation. And I did call the police and
[42:50]
I did tell them about it. You know, they
said, "Okay, thanks." You know, but the
[42:54]
thing of it is is that there should be
no begging on in the median on the fast
[42:59]
lane on telegraph and we need to have a
sign there. They need to say that
[43:04]
there's no loitering and there should be
a fine if they're doing that. There
[43:09]
should be a fine if they're doing that.
Um the other thing is um I don't know if
[43:14]
you guys have been to Detroit lately,
but they they're taking pretty good care
[43:18]
of their begging situation. But when you
get off at 94 and telegraph, it's
[43:24]
unbelievable
the amount of beggars that are sitting
[43:28]
there at the the blue bridge on
Telegraph that are begging.
[43:34]
I mean, I don't know about you guys, but
I pay a lot of money in taxes in Taylor.
[43:37]
I have a big house. I pay a lot of
money. But aren't we looking at property
[43:41]
value? Aren't we looking at our city
should be cleaned up and we shouldn't be
[43:46]
having these problems in the city of
Taylor? Ma'am, I'm gonna have the police
[43:49]
chief come up and and he can come out.
But I I want to make a quick comment
[43:53]
real quick.
>> I I agree with you. I I don't like them
[43:56]
there.
>> They have a right to be there.
[43:59]
» But
>> but but but it's not only Taylor, it's
[44:03]
Canon, it's Ingster, it's, you know,
it's everywhere. And
[44:08]
» I don't I don't know what the solution
is, but the chief will tell us what our
[44:12]
policies are.
>> Hi.
[44:15]
» You want me to talk? Sure.
[44:20]
» Mr. Chairman, council, Mr. Mayor. Yeah,
we agree. We all sit back and
[44:25]
everybody's doing this. Yeah, we would
love to um not have any homeless, any
[44:29]
beggars in the city. Um and there are
some things we do that in particular
[44:33]
area, they cannot be in that median. We
chase them out multiple times a week. Uh
[44:39]
it's like pushing water. You push them
out and they wait for us to leave. They
[44:43]
come back an hour later. So, it is a
problem. It is dangerous and I agree
[44:47]
with you. Um the unfortunate thing is we
do write them tickets for repeating
[44:51]
traffic as your brother told you. They
don't show up. Um you can't get water
[44:56]
from a rock. It is what it is. They have
nothing. They claim and it's a never-
[45:01]
ending cycle. We do have a program where
we receive federal funding to try to get
[45:06]
these people into treatment. Our
officers are out there. It's funded
[45:09]
again by uh the federal government where
officers go out there and give them the
[45:13]
option to get into housing and treatment
for maybe mental illness or substance
[45:18]
abuse, but unfortunately it's
continuous. I will agree with you. Every
[45:23]
city I drive through uh has these people
everywhere. So, it's a tough issue. Uh
[45:28]
I'm not sure that we can handle it on a
local level, but we'll do the best we
[45:31]
can. We can redouble our efforts.
>> So, my my my suggestion is I stopped
[45:36]
doing it years ago. I will give my money
to a a a place before I'll give it to
[45:42]
those people. Uh and and we need to stop
doing that. I I know we feel sorry for
[45:47]
them and our hearts go out to them, you
know, because some of them look really
[45:51]
bad. You can tell they need it, but we
got to stop because there's plenty of
[45:54]
places that they can go to get help that
could use our money. So, people just
[45:59]
need to stop.
>> Completely agree. And some of them are
[46:02]
as a grift where they live in a house
together with five or six of them. They
[46:06]
have a car.
>> Absolutely.
[46:08]
» It's parked around the corner and
they're making hundreds of taxfree
[46:11]
dollars a day. If you have four or five
people doing that, if they make three or
[46:15]
$400 a piece, you can do the math how
much they're making. So, I would agree.
[46:18]
Um, I try not to give people money as
well. If someone wants to give them
[46:22]
water or some food, you'll see that a
lot of times they will turn that down.
[46:27]
So,
>> thank [snorts] you, Chief. Go ahead.
[46:34]
offer.
[46:38]
» I'm sorry, I didn't catch that first
part.
[46:44]
» Yes, we do. Surprisingly, yeah, we have
put a number of people into treatment.
[46:48]
It tends to be a little bit less of the
homeless, more of the ones that have
[46:52]
substance abuse problems. So, yeah, our
our federal grant has actually done a
[46:57]
really nice job of getting some of these
people into treatment. So, word's out.
[47:01]
Um, but we do run into the same ones a
lot and they see us coming and they
[47:05]
start flagging us away. Hey, we already
know. But, yeah, we will continue to uh
[47:10]
monitor the situation, do the best we
can. Um, trust me, I I know it's
[47:14]
aggravating. I really I really do. And I
I empathize, especially with the trash
[47:18]
being left there. I know our DPW has
come out and cleaned up the mess a
[47:22]
number of times, so it's legitimate
concern. So they put a sign there.
[47:28]
» Yeah, it's Yeah, sure they could, but
the signs aren't going to help them.
[47:32]
It's already illegal to do where they're
at. So you can beg. It's completely
[47:36]
lawful, but not in the roadway. That's
where you run into the problem. The
[47:40]
center media there is not an area uh nor
can they come out into the roadway and
[47:44]
do that. Those are all violations and we
would write those as simply impeding
[47:48]
traffic.
>> Still in fraction. Uh, Chief Blair, what
[47:54]
I disagree about, the people who are in
the medians are part of the problem, but
[47:58]
the people who stop traffic their cars.
So, would it be reasonable that if there
[48:04]
happened to be an officer in the area
and they saw somebody holding up
[48:08]
traffic, you said you understand you
can't get blood from a rock, but the
[48:12]
driver more than likely would be
somebody who would feel compelled to
[48:16]
actually pay a penalty. Um, is that is
is it illegal for them to hold up
[48:22]
traffic?
>> Yes, it is. They're impeding the flow of
[48:24]
traffic as well. Um, I can't recognize
any instance where we've actually done
[48:29]
that, but yes, it is the traffic.
>> I mean, you know, whenever look how they
[48:32]
got kapone, anytime there's a problem we
want to solve, but due to civil
[48:37]
liberties, we can't do it one way. There
might be another way that would let
[48:41]
people know that I'll tell you one
thing. You don't want to stop traffic
[48:45]
and Taylor by doing this because there
are many wonderful ways that you know we
[48:50]
have to help people who need help and
the programs that you're doing are are
[48:54]
very good too. Thanks.
>> Yeah, we're trying. It's not perfect but
[48:56]
we are trying and um I agree your
complaint is legitimate.
[49:02]
I'm charging them a when I get a garage
sale since I get a permit to have a
[49:07]
garage sale
[49:11]
by a permit once a month. I don't know.
All these don't be a deterrent of the
[49:16]
situation.
You know,
[49:19]
» just like
[49:26]
traffic
[49:33]
res
[49:45]
and sometimes completely wrong. Just
like
[49:50]
the biggest
[49:54]
stop
[50:02]
is
[50:09]
because people are decent.
They're not putting their resources in
[50:18]
I don't
[50:23]
know that usually if they're there to
make them clean up, but still it's time
[50:29]
on a regular basis and that's the
>> Well, I I feel for the people giving
[50:35]
them because they're being kind and
[clears throat] they care about them.
[50:39]
» Well, that's the issue. People down the
river tend to be very generous.
[50:44]
» Yes. you know, and and you know, we just
got to stop. Give it to the church. Give
[50:48]
it to the the fish and loads. Give it to
those people so that we can help them
[50:54]
the the other way, you know.
>> Well, maybe we have an article in the
[50:57]
newspaper and our
[51:02]
» I don't know. I mean, that's a
suggestion. So, it just makes Taylor
[51:06]
look trashy, especially if you're from
out of town and you're coming off a 94.
[51:10]
» Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well,
>> and it's 275 in Ford Road, Canton area.
[51:15]
» Yeah,
>> you know, same thing.
[51:18]
» Okay, thanks for listening.
>> Anything else from the audience?
[51:26]
» Anything from the council?
>> I can call Guido up for a minute. These
[51:30]
are questions for Guido.
[51:40]
» Good evening.
status on Lang Park.
[51:44]
» Lang Park, uh, moving along very
efficiently. The BMX pump track started
[51:48]
to get installed this week. Keep bumping
this. I apologize. Uh, so the parking
[51:52]
lot should be taking place in the near
future. Uh, the sliding hill is getting
[51:55]
shaped. They started that today. We met
with England Civil. A lot of drainage
[52:00]
issues were identified. They're going to
start installing the infrastructure to
[52:03]
properly move that water. I know people
are really concerned about that. We did
[52:07]
say that the uh project was not
completed, so just hold tight. So, those
[52:10]
items are all being addressed. Uh,
hopefully within the next month and a
[52:14]
half, we're really at a place where the
road can go in and, uh, the park can
[52:17]
open. Uh, so if you guys get a chance
and want to take a visit, just let me
[52:21]
know.
>> And second question I had was the pickle
[52:24]
ball courts at Heritage Park.
>> Yes, sir. They asked that etched them
[52:27]
yesterday. So, Tuesday of next week,
they'll start to put the uh paint uh on
[52:32]
them and striping them for pickle ball
use, and the fence will go up pretty
[52:35]
quickly, and then the ashvault paths
will be there to tie uh the walkways
[52:39]
into that so folks can uh they're
accessible to the public.
[52:42]
» Are the residents responsible for their
own equipment when they come in or
[52:46]
» uh they'll have nets and courts,
paddles? Yes, we won't have paddles for
[52:50]
them. Most of those who play
competitively and not competitively like
[52:54]
to have their own uh stick anyway, so
I'm sure everybody has those. and they
[52:58]
are pretty uh they just like any other
sport. There's the entry level level
[53:02]
models and then there's all pro models.
>> Thank you.
[53:06]
» Yes, sir. You guys have a good night.
>> Thank you.
[53:10]
» Anything else from the council,
[53:14]
» Mr. Chair?
Yeah,
[53:19]
» I actually have a we had a question
today on solic license
[53:25]
to the
pest control. They do not have license.
[53:30]
However, they have contacted my office
regarding applying for one just to let
[53:35]
residents know or if they show up at
their door not they should be wearing
[53:41]
a piece of paper city have their license
have their name on it. They are
[53:46]
individually background checked. So they
shouldn't be sharing um council bonded
[53:54]
process and we do have most stickers in
my office. I work with people all the
[54:00]
time they don't listen.
I wouldn't mind working as I'm
[54:07]
lic
and I know they don't. Um you remind
[54:12]
them for they keep coming back
proper authorities. Um but just to let
[54:20]
people know that there is a not
you should have a license to do so my
[54:26]
office. Um absentee ballots have been
mailed out.
[54:31]
If you request one and have not received
it, please let my office know. If you
[54:35]
want one, please reach out and we will
tell you how to get one. Early voting
[54:38]
will start July 25th. It goes through
August 2nd, 8:00 a.m. to 400 p.m. on
[54:44]
Saturday and Sundays and then 95 Monday
through Friday. And also lastly, we're
[54:50]
holding our public accuracy test where
we test the electric equipment on July
[54:55]
16th at 4:30 p.m. in the media center.
you've never been. It's very interesting
[55:00]
to watch. My deputy clerk puts in a lot
of work, a lot of effort, does an
[55:05]
amazing job explaining how it works, how
the machines work, how we test them,
[55:09]
make sure they're accurate, and that
there is no fraud. So, I don't think
[55:14]
it's a great opportunity for people to
see um instead of making accusations, I
[55:19]
think
the public advocacy test to see all the
[55:23]
hard work we put into making sure that
you're safe. Thank you. Anything
[55:30]
else from the council?
>> Hey chair, summer taxes are going out.
[55:35]
So I just want to know.
[55:41]
» So real one one other thing real quick.
Uh you know we just had the holiday. We
[55:47]
had a big storm on in on top of that we
had seven water main breaks. And not
[55:54]
everybody's going to agree, but I think
uh I think our departments did a a
[55:58]
wonderful job. Not everybody's happy. I
understand that. But as far as I'm
[56:04]
concerned, they went above and beyond to
get things in order on a holiday
[56:09]
weekend. So, thank you to the
departments for everything you've done.
[56:15]
» With that, I'll accept a motion.
>> Motion to adjurnn.
[56:20]
» Motion by Mr. Wall is supported by
>> Mr. Armstrong.
[56:29]
» All in favor?
>> Yes.
[56:33]
» All opposed.
The eyes have it. Motion carried. Thanks
[56:37]
everybody.
