[0:57] So once we appoint a new treasurer, we'll let him or her do that.
[1:03] It'll be a surprise if it is.
[1:06] Consideration of the following reports, CMF.
[1:09] Hello, so it's been four months, five months, maybe in the turning.
[1:13] For Royal Oak Schools, we did a number of Royal Oak Middle School concerts at the middle school
[1:18] sixteenth grade orchestra, the spring bands, spectacular concert, choir concert, we also
[1:24] to senior car crews, he did the honors complication.
[1:27] He was scheduled to remain high school graduation,
[1:30] but it was rained out this year.
[1:32] But we did do Churchill's graduation when it wasn't raining.
[1:37] And for the Royal Cotser fan, we covered three concerts
[1:39] May 15, June 22nd, 29th, both indoors and out.
[1:43] For the Royal Accent, the Orchestra, we did May 6th concert,
[1:46] Royal of Middle School.
[1:48] And on June 11th, I was in the Royal Occetive Managers Office
[1:51] setting up all that equipment to cover their
[1:53] and Mr. Juneteenth Page of Winters' Interview of Judy Davis.
[1:59] And we've been going every week to cover Reble at Woody Gantina's house
[2:04] for the Carbon Zero Neutral Environmental Advisory Board
[2:08] in Extravagance of Innovation.
[2:10] They're knocked everything down and are building it back up
[2:13] using no carbon and oil oil.
[2:16] I know Pleasant Reg is in here, but we're still doing their meetings
[2:19] and working right now on their wow and coder update
[2:21] at the final COVID-19 just arrived this week.
[2:25] They are still deciding on Comcast,
[2:27] and we ran some software updates on their equipment
[2:29] somewhere in the last four months.
[2:31] Troy, we continued sporadic meeting coverage.
[2:36] We also did coverage of the Troy State of the City,
[2:38] including the City Council members coming
[2:40] right in this room, pre-reporting messages,
[2:42] and then we've played them back
[2:43] and we did the event live the next,
[2:45] we did the event live a week later at Columbia Center,
[2:50] endorsed because of the rain again. And in the next day we did the Troy police memorial, and then we did the regular memorial day, and then we'd be doing concerts at Bolin Park. Also in this very room, we did League of Women Voters, Oakland area, judicial candidate forums for district 524, and two Troy area of League of Women Voters, candidate forums for district 50 sticks, state rep and county commissioners. They will all return again in late September for the main election candidate forums, and we did events.
[3:19] for the dedication of Gene Stein's Park, also in Zyphel, very rainy season, for the Troy schools.
[3:26] Kevin and Nancy, thank you Troy International Academy East High School, had their graduation
[3:31] at the Aritha Franklin Ampatheter, which is outdoors and was very limited as far as media
[3:38] access, so they went down with two cameras and covered that and then we covered the normal high school
[3:42] normal, the regular high school, Troy, and Athens high school graduations at Pine Up during June.
[3:50] City of Berkeley, we've been trading very free lancers on government meetings throughout
[3:54] all of our cities, including Berkeley and Rochester and Auburn Hills and Comcast.
[3:59] In City of Berkeley, Comcast visited, they installed their new fiber line,
[4:04] thank you stand for directing them to the correct room, it appears that it is in the correct
[4:08] which is no small feat for our friends at Comcast Universal Market Camp 70 million billion dollars.
[4:16] And encoder just arrived at their day to re.
[4:18] The picture will be installing that soon.
[4:22] Kevin, we're a pair of Gooseneck Mike for them.
[4:24] Advanced lighting and sound game quotes to update all of their audio system in the chamber
[4:27] and the tricaster.
[4:29] So that's been signed and submitted for waiting on the delivering those items.
[4:33] I hosted two episodes of the Berkeley local podcast for the chamber
[4:36] with guests, Tim Murad, and Yacht Doe, the Berkeley Business Community.
[4:43] We covered the perfectly art bash, the Berkeley Pride event, and the Berkeley Street art
[4:47] fest.
[4:47] And I'm sure there's more to come as the summer and fall rolls on in Berkeley, including
[4:52] cruise fest, which is tomorrow and parking will be fun.
[4:56] Auburn Hills, Kevin, over saw the installation of a new Tri-Castron City Hall, work with
[5:00] their IT department to get that working.
[5:02] We train freelancers James Risco and Carmen and Nancy on the meeting workflow and I've talked
[5:09] to advanced setting and sound about their audio issues which are always either too loud
[5:14] or not loud enough because of the physics of the council chamber so they're going to maybe
[5:19] get a quote.
[5:20] That's what we're looking at.
[5:23] At the city of Rochester we received the new Comcast in Polter and we promptly installed
[5:28] it in the rack and then we waited on Comcast for a while.
[5:32] So, Comcast sent numerous teams out to Rochester City Hall.
[5:37] They'd one team ran the cable to the building, and then another team ran the cable from the wall to building to a room where it wasn't necessarily expected at the other side of the building.
[5:50] And then I assistant Anthony, and taking that cable out of the ceiling and Anthony crawled through the crawl space and he ran it to the correct room.
[5:58] And now Comcast is, but on, you said another crew connected to the box in the correct room next to their council chambers so that we can put their meetings out of high depth over their system.
[6:13] This started in January and we're coming up on the end of August, that's the new box. There's their cable. There it is.
[6:19] And Comcast is, we're going to end up engaging with the entirety of Comcast's workforce as this project.
[6:29] We train carbon, for any other fancers on meetings, we've been running very software updates
[6:34] on the equivalent in Comcast's room, and we covered it, and using the park concert
[6:39] through Abbott and Company Band and the Rochester Symphony Orchestra City of Oakland
[6:44] Township.
[6:45] There are various special perks and wrecks meetings at Oakland Township, there you are,
[6:50] including one held this look of the luxurious snow hill warming shed at Las Lakes Nature
[6:56] Mark and Elasnite's special emergency excited you were covered on Fox 2 this morning, I don't know
[7:05] Oh, I didn't know I missed that, they had a special Board of Trustees meeting because of the fun and excitement related to the Oakland County Water Commissioners resources department
[7:12] And you can go online and watch that as I did this morning. Very interesting, very interesting
[7:19] If I'm setting a sound, I'm going to set out there.
[7:21] We have essentially the quote for the update on the projector system, the track, and see where that goes.
[7:28] And that also did various.
[7:30] Your chaps and so forth, oh wait, I'm sorry, you look, if you squint anything's way in the background there in the Rochester City Opera space for the cable, that was right about the time I took a nail through the back, that was a value yeah, that was good.
[7:45] I shall also say for Rochester school district.
[7:48] Other duties as a sign.
[7:51] Rochester school district is the process of course of moving to a new administration building, while that's happening though.
[7:57] Their old administration building where we used to do meetings, the equipment is defunded,
[8:02] so they move, and they wanted to end large capacity. So this is actually a high school.
[8:07] We've been, our equipment has been there since June, and we cover their meetings there on
[8:12] one day, so we're coming one this coming one day. But with advanced setting and sound,
[8:16] they're going to outfit this auditorium in their own equipment. And then outfit the new
[8:21] administration building, eventually, but that boardroom isn't finished. We'll be moving
[8:25] you can get structured for quite a while, yes.
[8:28] So that's all underway.
[8:29] Kevin is at the schools right now.
[8:31] The middle school, West Middle School,
[8:33] filming some stuff with the student peers, mentors,
[8:37] program, and the superintendent this morning.
[8:40] So we covered all of those.
[8:42] Here's Kevin teaching, not profit organization,
[8:45] workshop in the solo pro.
[8:47] And here are some of the stills from the exciting legal
[8:50] women voters, candidate forums in this very room.
[8:53] was packed out as you can see. Any other questions?
[8:59] You have been busy.
[9:00] Incredibly.
[9:02] Anybody have any questions?
[9:04] Comments for Chris?
[9:07] It's got an ass under a shirt if you.
[9:10] You went into the darkness and I took a shot.
[9:14] So thank you.
[9:16] Take team effort on that one.
[9:18] We got it there only to what was the response?
[9:20] The plug was at the plug on the cable that that part that is that is the last mile is that little plug
[9:28] To go right on the end of there to plug
[9:31] Into there. Don't worry. We're coming out to do that
[9:38] Thank you Chris. Yeah, thanks for all you do
[9:44] We have no
[9:45] Cable companies here, so all business anything about the FCC cable order, you know?
[9:52] No, besides those new bills, they were introduced both in the Senate and in the House of Representatives indicating that as part of the franchise,
[10:02] the in-kind exchanges will not be included. There's been no moment that just checked today in the original state last year, December 2, 2021.
[10:13] And hopefully we get some movement on that, but you know how feels things go, they could move forward,
[10:18] they could be amended, or they could die as well.
[10:23] But I am monitoring it and nothing has a today.
[10:27] Sounds good.
[10:28] On it,
[10:31] I can't really speak to that, because Tim's gone, but we'll come back to the audit and
[10:37] our next week.
[10:38] I believe it's all taken care of.
[10:40] That's the last vacation I got from him.
[10:43] Right, we're all sad.
[10:44] Yeah, and we're all sad.
[10:45] A agreement with, as a as a bond, and it's coming along.
[10:51] We're moving through the process.
[10:52] We got the MUU signed to the cable to the companies and the one piece that we're working on
[10:59] now is just getting the mailing addresses and the property addresses laid out so they can
[11:05] start auditing for making sure who's in where and then all of those are captured correctly.
[11:10] So that's where that stands right now.
[11:13] I wanted to tell everybody what addresses exactly everyone's supposed to supply you in.
[11:19] So the addresses are trying to get are all of the addresses in each municipality.
[11:25] And what they do is they load that into GIS and they make a boundary map.
[11:31] And then they take the addresses that, like, say, well, use Comcast example.
[11:35] So Comcast has these are all the addresses we have for Rochester.
[11:42] And it's really, it does any of them this service with Comcast for it, so they'll do all of them commercial residential, it doesn't matter.
[11:51] So they'll overlay what Comcast is collecting fees from in Rochester's gallery and give them a list of the addresses.
[12:00] And then they'll also do that for the surrounding, and then they make sure that, okay, well, you're the fees, you're sending those to Rochester Hills,
[12:07] But those are really Rochester's, even though the mailings
[12:10] says the hill, so these need to be rerouted to Rochester.
[12:13] These need to be moved to the hills.
[12:15] You're missing these and that sort of thing.
[12:18] So that's what they start doing on their overlays,
[12:21] on the maps to just see that everyone,
[12:24] all the ones that are being charged fees,
[12:26] that it's going to the correct municipality
[12:29] and that the amongst are being correctly allocated
[12:32] to the municipalities as well.
[12:35] Okay, sounds good. It's it's moving. It's moving a lot. Anybody have any questions for Anthony?
[12:44] Do you need any more from us?
[12:46] Because that's as I do. Open county GIS is taking care of it.
[12:49] That's that's how I've reached out to
[12:53] Calix hopefully he's been on the felt me in the past at the county with that.
[12:57] So it's seen that well, you know, the county has
[13:00] But he's address is anyways, I'm like, no, really reach out to him.
[13:05] That may be the easier way to get by each communal, just the master list of them.
[13:11] So that's where we're at there.
[13:13] So I think that'll be for him probably a 10 minute thing.
[13:19] I'm trying to do stuff out of BS today and all of this.
[13:22] Oh, utility billing.
[13:24] Well, wait a minute.
[13:25] I could just, they have that.
[13:27] All right.
[13:28] Okay.
[13:28] I have all of them.
[13:30] New business as everybody knew that Tim Rollin was
[13:34] left hunting towards.
[13:35] He took another job in another community.
[13:38] And I have before me a memo that Huntington Woods
[13:41] has appointed, well, Ethan Han is their new finance director.
[13:46] Yay!
[13:46] So for everybody.
[13:48] And then they also appointed him last week as the ICCA RAP.
[13:53] So I would like to make a motion that the ICCA that we appoint Ethan
[13:57] as our treasurer of the ICCA.
[14:00] Second,
[14:03] any discussion?
[14:07] Ethan Campt.
[14:08] You're just sailing from discussion.
[14:11] And voting.
[14:12] And voting campsite.
[14:15] All I'm favorite, I oppose.
[14:19] Martin Carrey.
[14:25] All right.
[14:26] Any legal counsel's report?
[14:30] Yes, there was a mission court
[14:32] appeals opinion, and in a turning general opinion, basically stating that a governmental
[14:38] body, such as yourself, if one of the members or a number of the members wanted to attend
[14:44] remotely or telephonically, and could have a ADA disability that qualified they could do
[14:53] so through phone or through Zoom, that doesn't necessarily apply to the public, the public.
[15:01] It would not apply to that, but if one of you members or any other member of the governmental authority had a 88 issue and asked for reasonable accommodation to attend the telephone conference or Zoom, they could do so and the governmental unit would have to comply.
[15:20] So, both the machine court of appeals and the attorney general issue basically is the same opinion.
[15:28] It is especially important now with the pandemic and other issues and if somebody has a serious issue
[15:34] when they go on in time because they're afraid of COVID that could be something that alleviates them attending in person.
[15:41] Good, and I know with CMN we've got the capability to do like for our members.
[15:47] Yeah, and we've run variations on that since COVID has begun.
[15:50] and Rochester for city council and planning we're still doing that regularly having the Zoom
[15:55] open for participants. But we have public. Yeah, we still have it set up in other cities if need be.
[16:01] I don't understand. All right, Troy is doing it if we need. Yeah. Good. Anything else?
[16:10] That is it. All right, public discussion. We have no public. 30 member comments, Jamie.
