Anybody from the audience? 265 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,920 » Yeah. 266 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:44,640 So, my name is Anissa Kaya and I live at 11009 Beachwood Court. So, I don't know 267 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:52,079 if you need to know that. So, I'm here I'm about um I'm here for something that 268 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:57,119 happened. So, um I'm here about the the loitering and the begging that's going 269 00:41:54,319 --> 00:42:03,040 on on the streets in Taylor. So I was in the fast lane on telegraph going towards 270 00:41:59,359 --> 00:42:07,760 north uh Vanborn and um there's always somebody begging in the middle of the 271 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:11,599 median which is dangerous and I know I have a brother who was a policeman for 272 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:15,599 25 years and he said that that is um impeding traffic. So the guy in front of 273 00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:20,800 me so the light's green and the guy in front of me decides to stop and be kind 274 00:42:17,359 --> 00:42:27,040 and give the um beggar money and I almost hit them rear ended them and so 275 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:31,040 whose fault is that? Well, the fault is to the homeless person because or to the 276 00:42:29,599 --> 00:42:35,040 beggar because I'm not going to call them homeless because most of those 277 00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:40,880 people that are begging on the streets look like able-bodied men. And I do have 278 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:45,680 empathy for veterans that are homeless and that they beg and stuff like that, 279 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:48,160 but this is ridiculous in Taylor. So, I almost hit the car in front of me 280 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:52,720 because he stopped to give them a donation. And I did call the police and 281 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:56,720 I did tell them about it. You know, they said, "Okay, thanks." You know, but the 282 00:42:54,800 --> 00:43:02,720 thing of it is is that there should be no begging on in the median on the fast 283 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:06,880 lane on telegraph and we need to have a sign there. They need to say that 284 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:12,400 there's no loitering and there should be a fine if they're doing that. There 285 00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:16,160 should be a fine if they're doing that. Um the other thing is um I don't know if 286 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:21,520 you guys have been to Detroit lately, but they they're taking pretty good care 287 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:26,240 of their begging situation. But when you get off at 94 and telegraph, it's 288 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:31,040 unbelievable the amount of beggars that are sitting 289 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:35,680 there at the the blue bridge on Telegraph that are begging. 290 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:39,359 I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I pay a lot of money in taxes in Taylor. 291 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:44,160 I have a big house. I pay a lot of money. But aren't we looking at property 292 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:47,520 value? Aren't we looking at our city should be cleaned up and we shouldn't be 293 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,920 having these problems in the city of Taylor? Ma'am, I'm gonna have the police 294 00:43:49,359 --> 00:43:54,319 chief come up and and he can come out. But I I want to make a quick comment 295 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,200 real quick. >> I I agree with you. I I don't like them 296 00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:59,440 there. >> They have a right to be there. 297 00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:06,079 » But >> but but but it's not only Taylor, it's 298 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:09,760 Canon, it's Ingster, it's, you know, it's everywhere. And 299 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:14,880 » I don't I don't know what the solution is, but the chief will tell us what our 300 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:19,720 policies are. >> Hi. 301 00:44:15,839 --> 00:44:19,720 » You want me to talk? Sure. 302 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:26,480 » Mr. Chairman, council, Mr. Mayor. Yeah, we agree. We all sit back and 303 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:32,000 everybody's doing this. Yeah, we would love to um not have any homeless, any 304 00:44:29,839 --> 00:44:36,319 beggars in the city. Um and there are some things we do that in particular 305 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:41,599 area, they cannot be in that median. We chase them out multiple times a week. Uh 306 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:45,599 it's like pushing water. You push them out and they wait for us to leave. They 307 00:44:43,599 --> 00:44:49,920 come back an hour later. So, it is a problem. It is dangerous and I agree 308 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:53,520 with you. Um the unfortunate thing is we do write them tickets for repeating 309 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:59,280 traffic as your brother told you. They don't show up. Um you can't get water 310 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:03,839 from a rock. It is what it is. They have nothing. They claim and it's a never- 311 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:07,760 ending cycle. We do have a program where we receive federal funding to try to get 312 00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:12,240 these people into treatment. Our officers are out there. It's funded 313 00:45:09,839 --> 00:45:16,240 again by uh the federal government where officers go out there and give them the 314 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:20,560 option to get into housing and treatment for maybe mental illness or substance 315 00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:26,000 abuse, but unfortunately it's continuous. I will agree with you. Every 316 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:30,079 city I drive through uh has these people everywhere. So, it's a tough issue. Uh 317 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:33,280 I'm not sure that we can handle it on a local level, but we'll do the best we 318 00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:38,960 can. We can redouble our efforts. >> So, my my my suggestion is I stopped 319 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:45,359 doing it years ago. I will give my money to a a a place before I'll give it to 320 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:49,839 those people. Uh and and we need to stop doing that. I I know we feel sorry for 321 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:53,280 them and our hearts go out to them, you know, because some of them look really 322 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:57,200 bad. You can tell they need it, but we got to stop because there's plenty of 323 00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:01,119 places that they can go to get help that could use our money. So, people just 324 00:45:59,599 --> 00:46:05,280 need to stop. >> Completely agree. And some of them are 325 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,520 as a grift where they live in a house together with five or six of them. They 326 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,119 have a car. >> Absolutely. 327 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:13,280 » It's parked around the corner and they're making hundreds of taxfree 328 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:16,880 dollars a day. If you have four or five people doing that, if they make three or 329 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:21,520 $400 a piece, you can do the math how much they're making. So, I would agree. 330 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:25,760 Um, I try not to give people money as well. If someone wants to give them 331 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:28,240 water or some food, you'll see that a lot of times they will turn that down. 332 00:46:27,599 --> 00:46:32,359 So, >> thank [snorts] you, Chief. Go ahead. 333 00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:37,720 offer. 334 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,680 » I'm sorry, I didn't catch that first part. 335 00:46:44,319 --> 00:46:50,400 » Yes, we do. Surprisingly, yeah, we have put a number of people into treatment. 336 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:55,040 It tends to be a little bit less of the homeless, more of the ones that have 337 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:58,480 substance abuse problems. So, yeah, our our federal grant has actually done a 338 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:03,760 really nice job of getting some of these people into treatment. So, word's out. 339 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:07,760 Um, but we do run into the same ones a lot and they see us coming and they 340 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:12,240 start flagging us away. Hey, we already know. But, yeah, we will continue to uh 341 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:17,119 monitor the situation, do the best we can. Um, trust me, I I know it's 342 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:21,280 aggravating. I really I really do. And I I empathize, especially with the trash 343 00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:24,560 being left there. I know our DPW has come out and cleaned up the mess a 344 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:31,200 number of times, so it's legitimate concern. So they put a sign there. 345 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,400 » Yeah, it's Yeah, sure they could, but the signs aren't going to help them. 346 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:38,880 It's already illegal to do where they're at. So you can beg. It's completely 347 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:42,640 lawful, but not in the roadway. That's where you run into the problem. The 348 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:46,400 center media there is not an area uh nor can they come out into the roadway and 349 00:47:44,319 --> 00:47:50,240 do that. Those are all violations and we would write those as simply impeding 350 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:56,720 traffic. >> Still in fraction. Uh, Chief Blair, what 351 00:47:54,240 --> 00:48:01,839 I disagree about, the people who are in the medians are part of the problem, but 352 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:06,800 the people who stop traffic their cars. So, would it be reasonable that if there 353 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:10,800 happened to be an officer in the area and they saw somebody holding up 354 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:14,800 traffic, you said you understand you can't get blood from a rock, but the 355 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:20,160 driver more than likely would be somebody who would feel compelled to 356 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:22,960 actually pay a penalty. Um, is that is is it illegal for them to hold up 357 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,760 traffic? >> Yes, it is. They're impeding the flow of 358 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:31,200 traffic as well. Um, I can't recognize any instance where we've actually done 359 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:35,760 that, but yes, it is the traffic. >> I mean, you know, whenever look how they 360 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:39,359 got kapone, anytime there's a problem we want to solve, but due to civil 361 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:43,119 liberties, we can't do it one way. There might be another way that would let 362 00:48:41,359 --> 00:48:47,520 people know that I'll tell you one thing. You don't want to stop traffic 363 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:52,319 and Taylor by doing this because there are many wonderful ways that you know we 364 00:48:50,319 --> 00:48:55,119 have to help people who need help and the programs that you're doing are are 365 00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:59,599 very good too.

I don't know. All these don't be a deterrent of the 370 00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:22,680 situation. You know, 371 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,680 » just like 372 00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:29,720 traffic 373 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,760 res 374 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:53,559 and sometimes completely wrong. Just like 375 00:49:50,319 --> 00:49:53,559 the biggest 376 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,400 stop 377 00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:05,720 is 378 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:17,760 because people are decent.

People down the river tend to be very generous. 384 00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:51,359 » Yes. you know, and and you know, we just got to stop. Give it to the church. Give 385 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:55,920 it to the the fish and loads. Give it to those people so that we can help them 386 00:50:54,480 --> 00:51:01,480 the the other way, you know. >> Well, maybe we have an article in the 387 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,480 newspaper and our 388 00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:08,640 » I don't know. I mean, that's a suggestion. So, it just makes Taylor 389 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:12,480 look trashy, especially if you're from out of town and you're coming off a 94. 390 00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:16,319 » Oh, yeah. Yeah.

The BMX pump track started 397 00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:53,680 to get installed this week. Keep bumping this. I apologize. Uh, so the parking 398 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:58,240 lot should be taking place in the near future. Uh, the sliding hill is getting 399 00:51:55,839 --> 00:52:02,319 shaped. They started that today. We met with England Civil. A lot of drainage 400 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:05,440 issues were identified. They're going to start installing the infrastructure to 401 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:09,119 properly move that water. I know people are really concerned about that. We did 402 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:12,720 say that the uh project was not completed, so just hold tight. So, those 403 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,520 items are all being addressed.

Yes, we won't have paddles for 414 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:56,720 them. Most of those who play competitively and not competitively like 415 00:52:54,240 --> 00:53:00,319 to have their own uh stick anyway, so I'm sure everybody has those. and they 416 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:05,920 are pretty uh they just like any other sport. There's the entry level level 417 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:09,040 models and then there's all pro models. >> Thank you. 418 00:53:06,559 --> 00:53:14,280 » Yes, sir.

They do not have license. 423 00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:38,000 However, they have contacted my office regarding applying for one just to let 424 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:44,880 residents know or if they show up at their door not they should be wearing 425 00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:48,720 a piece of paper city have their license have their name on it. They are 426 00:53:46,319 --> 00:53:57,760 individually background checked.

I work with people all the 428 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:09,760 time they don't listen. I wouldn't mind working as I'm 429 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:16,880 lic and I know they don't. Um you remind 430 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:24,319 them for they keep coming back proper authorities. Um but just to let 431 00:54:20,079 --> 00:54:29,359 people know that there is a not you should have a license to do so my 432 00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:33,359 office. Um absentee ballots have been mailed out. 433 00:54:31,359 --> 00:54:36,720 If you request one and have not received it, please let my office know. If you 434 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:40,880 want one, please reach out and we will tell you how to get one. Early voting 435 00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:47,280 will start July 25th.

So, I don't think 442 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:21,680 it's a great opportunity for people to see um instead of making accusations, I 443 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:26,000 think the public advocacy test to see all the 444 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:32,160 hard work we put into making sure that you're safe.
