[4:51] resolution passed by the city counil an arbor expressing their opposition to

[5:03] Township whereas oil exploration and drilling is proposed in Sayo Township
[5:10] within two miles from the an arbor City Limits and less than 1 mile from the
[5:16] Huron River whereas oil exploration and
[5:21] drilling can produce significant air pollution heavy truck traffic and the
[5:26] risk for the release of hazardous substances above and below ground which
[5:33] had the possibility of traveling into or impacting the city of an arbor and its

[6:05] council expresses its opposition to said oil exploration and
[6:12] Drilling and any future oil exploration and Drilling in areas adjacent to or in
[6:20] close proximity to the city of an arbor resolved that the city of an arbor

[17:56] sir Mr Mayor again I'm going to interrupt I was just wondering if the
[18:00] council has any questions for the City attorney and if not I think he should be
[18:08] excused thank you Mr Price are there any questions specifically for the attorney
[18:12] this
[18:14] evening seeing none that good evening turn the clock glad you could join us
[18:20] for a few moments at the
[18:23] meeting have a great evening thank you Mr hitch
[18:29] first item of regular business then is the uh special council meeting of June
[18:35] 15 Mr May Mayor proen Brown thank you Mr Mayor uh I understand that Council has
[18:40] been provided with a revised copy of the minutes I did have one question uh or at
[18:45] least one comment on the report of the ad hoc subcommittee to recommend an
[18:51] acting City administrator uh it was my hope that the actual criteria that was
[18:58] determined to be used in the selection of the temporary appointment uh would
[19:02] actually be listed in the minutes I know the minutes do not require that but
[19:06] given that this meeting was not televised and that we want to make sure
[19:11] that our our city manager transition is as transparent as possible I would
[19:16] simply ask if it's the will of the council that we actually include that
[19:19] criteria in the body of the
[19:23] minutes mayor protm I from my recollection I believe that the motion
[19:30] to include them was simply to accept them and place them on file I mean will
[19:34] that suffice or is
[19:38] that sure yeah normally normally we would not include the text of uh of a
[19:44] report or or anything of that nature in the minutes it's not required under the
[19:48] Oma or required under uh Robert's rules I just thought that this was a unique
[19:53] case and I do remember at the last meeting that there was some discussion
[19:57] about what we actually approving when we made that motion so if it's not the
[20:02] consensus of the council I'm fine approving the minutes as they are it was
[20:05] simply a suggestion on my part and I'll only um I only offer it up as a
[20:14] consensus council
[20:18] members I'd support that I asked for a copy of them at the last meeting and
[20:21] didn't get them so um either they're a very well regarded secret or um we just
[20:28] don't want to publicize them but I think they should be
[20:36] public I'll
[20:41] concur did you receive a copy of a Madam clerk I mean I believe you did but just
[20:46] to be sure I can get you a copy another one if you need it
[20:50] okay yeah I believe I um had given that copy to another person that had asked
[20:57] for them so okay I would need that thank you okay that's not a problem I would
[21:02] support that as well if that's a consensus mayor protm if that is the
[21:07] consensus I'll move the adoption of the special city council meeting minutes
[21:11] from June 15 2015 with the noted uh addition for the
[21:17] ad hoc committee report
[21:22] second motion's been made and seconded to approve the Amendments with the
[21:26] addition of the subcommittee criteria all those in favor signify by
[21:32] saying I I all those oppose motion passes
[21:40] 70 next item of regular business is the motion to consider uh continuing
[21:45] demolition at 1020 East Ash Street Mr Price would you like to give
[21:52] us a briefing on where you're at with that well apparently this has been on
[21:57] going for quite some time I saw that the that the some of the bids were received
[22:03] a year ago however I know that uh that council
[22:07] member Bruno had a question about whether or not the hauler would be U
[22:12] licensed and certified to haul certain kinds of materials and in this case
[22:16] we're talking about asbest I wasn't aware that that had been a question
[22:21] previously made but the only thing I can say is that it is a the that the parent
[22:27] low bidder or the lowest proposal submitted uh was um Anderson Fisher
[22:33] Associates and they have on their stationary and m. pre-qualified
[22:38] contractor now I think that from that would indicate that they are however if
[22:46] they if you'd like to make it contingent but I would like to get this going and
[22:49] get it over with uh that I will make sure that that this company is properly
[22:58] C certified license to to haul this
[23:04] material council member Bruno with that Assurance by Pat I would move that we
[23:09] accept the bid subject to his finding if the contractor is properly
[23:15] licensed second motion's been made and seconded
[23:20] to accept the bid with that Assurance is there any
[23:24] discussion all those in favor signify by saying I I all those opposed motion
[23:31] passes
[23:37] 70 next item regular business is item on your agenda is item 8A a first reading
[23:44] of an ordinance to add article 7 to chapter 42 of the code of the city of
[23:49] Mason Mr Price would you like to brief us on that one as well please yes this
[23:54] is an ordinance that in fact I'm a little surprised that that it hadn't
[23:59] been part or inclusive already but this basically says that it's a crime it's a
[24:05] misdemeanor to fall in to call in a false report involving the police the
[24:10] fire or even ambulances and there is a there is a um
[24:15] a penalty uh in fact there are several paragraphs involving the penalties in
[24:20] terms of what the judge May impose upon that person whether it's a juvenile or
[24:25] whether an adult it could be Community Services or it could be $500 and 90 days
[24:30] in jail so this all this does is I think do something that probably we all
[24:36] thought was was in there to begin with so I think this is sort of like a
[24:41] housekeeping kind of thing with this ordinance thank
[24:49] you mayor proam thank you Mr Mayor I move uh that
[24:54] we introduce the proposed ordinance contained under agenda item 8 a fire
[24:59] code ordinance and also consider it read for the first
[25:03] time second motion's been made to introduce the
[25:09] ordinance to add article 7 to chapter 42 of the code of the city and consider it
[25:15] R for the first time is there any discussion all those in favor signify by
[25:20] saying I I all those oppose
[25:32] motion passes
[25:36] 70 unfinished business council member
[25:41] drosa just one quick uh bit of Unfinished Business uh and I don't care
[25:47] if it comes later on as a leaon report I'd like a just a quick uh update on

[26:17] holiday weekend and we have scheduled a meeting uh to review that for
[26:23] tomorrow
[26:26] evening you're welcome unfinished business council member

[26:49] committee can I can we clarify that you can't have a for that's right

[34:40] look at if you so desire and there's also more information on the M Michigan
[34:45] Municipal League website regarding this particular Summit thank you thank you
[34:50] mayor protm any other council member
[34:55] reports item 14 the agenda the administrator reports Mr
[35:00] price thank you Mr Mayor uh I have a number of items on here one is to uh
[35:07] permission to close alley this was of course before this meeting uh but uh but
[35:11] we received a request from Mr and Mrs Jeff at 2115 East Elm to close the alley
[35:16] between Oak and Elm and between uh Rogers and
[35:20] Barnes um that would have been um on um when was that 4th I
[35:29] believe uh but anyway we received I received responses from the police chief
[35:35] fire chief everybody was pleased all right so anyway that was granted and uh
[35:41] and uh they held a uh their their um party for America apparently uh
[35:47] short-term goals and objectives this has been brought before the staff as well as
[35:52] the council's been working on it um to to try to describe goals and objectives
[35:57] from a one to two or threee period at Max and for the idea of
[36:04] budgeting programming or planning and programming uh and I think it's a it's
[36:09] it's a excellent idea for for that purpose and uh the only issue is is that
[36:16] I do firmly believe that this should involve the new administrator whenever
[36:21] he or she comes on board after approximately a month with the city or a
[36:26] month and a half then and then to meet with staff and Council to to review
[36:31] these objectives that makes to me the the it's most logical sense uh and and
[36:37] accomplish I think an important
[36:41] task uh DPW work hours uh the uh we are doing a um sort of a trial U basis our
[36:50] our DPW Personnel are going to be working from 6:00 to 4:30 p.m. every day
[36:56] or in other words the 10-hour day um uh uh and of course that's a 4- day week
[37:02] for them uh we will have half the crew basically there Monday through Thursday
[37:07] and the other Tuesday through Friday which means that on every day of the
[37:11] week we will have people there uh doing DPW work and responsibilities taking
[37:18] responsibilities especially in the areas of water and sewer and and the rest and
[37:24] uh and we're going to try it until I believe September 5th so we're going to
[37:29] see how it how it works out our director of Public Works feels that there would
[37:34] be a number of efficiencies by going that way uh so on Tuesday Wednesday
[37:39] Thursday we will have a full force working again from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30
[37:45] p.m. I did bring it to the attention of the director of Public Works that we
[37:52] have a noise ordinance that says you do not do construction before 7 a.m. so the
[37:58] first hour is going to be and that was never going to be a problem for them
[38:02] because it's really setting up uh a lot of barricading and and every all the
[38:07] stuff getting ready for the work so we're not going to have the street
[38:11] sweeper going until 7 a.m. and and nothing noise nothing that's noisy that
[38:16] is going to hopefully bother anybody will not start until 700 a.m. so we were
[38:22] aware of that um let's see
[38:32] yes uh this was at the request of the city clerk of the numbering of
[38:36] resolutions and ordinances that she has asked that we take into consideration
[38:42] that when we number a resolution and or an ordinance and it fails so does the
[38:48] number the number and it leaves into it leaves our files in a gap in other words
[38:53] 1 2 3 8 7 or 89 10 it's like some something's missing Well we'd like to
[38:59] avoid that for 50 years down the road that this is what was done and let's get
[39:05] back on track so the city clerk will be responsible to give you that number
[39:10] after it's adopted okay whether it's a resolution
[39:14] or ordinance part of the minutes will be the number will be given at that time
[39:21] okay and I just pointed out the number of uh celebration activities that we
[39:26] were going to have this past weekend and uh and uh Mr Brown has spoken eloquently
[39:32] on that part of it so that's all I have Mr Mayor thank you Mr Price are there
[39:37] any questions for the acting City
[39:43] administrator hearing none we are adjourned I just doesn't have the same
[39:49] ring to
[39:54] it I feel like I crack the uh you
