drilling is proposed in Sayo Township
[5:10] within two miles from the an arbor City
Limits and less than 1 mile from the

oil exploration and

[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
[25:54] where we're at with the ad hoc and
finding a third party firm and all that
[26:02] please okay I can provide that uh we
we'd actually have a a new develop as of
[26:07] this evening the information that the ad
hoc subcommittee has requested has all
[26:12] been received the last of it uh coming

meeting uh to review that for
[26:23] tomorrow
[26:26] evening you're welcome
unfinished business council member
[26:32] Malini um only a comment about that
think that's is is that aot committee is
[26:39] probably an open
meeting but uh if councilmen if other
[26:44] Council people come they would not be
allowed to speak because it's an ad hoc
[26:49] committee can I can we clarify
that you can't have a for that's right
[26:55] we correct so it's strictly the ad hot
committee at this point to remain a sub
[27:00] Quorum okay and then the subcommittee
will pre present their recommendations

council meeting or specially special

on uh the business of the historical
[32:47] commission uh I had gotten filled by in
by Dave Haywood that the petitioner was

request was to go ahead with that uh uh
[33:01] particular U building which is part of
our historical downtown uh area and
[33:07] they're going to uh remove the uh
carefully remove all of the Stone from
[33:14] the addition and the side of the
building extend the primary footprint of

this evening Mr Mayor proam Brown thank
[33:51] you Mr Mayor very briefly I just wanted
to share that uh last week on uh June
[33:56] 23rd the Michigan Municipal League held
what was called the Locust development
[34:01] Summit and it was in Detroit it was a
partnership between the MML and smart
[34:06] growth America and the title of the
conference was closing the next smart
[34:10] growth deal it was a opportunity to talk
with business developers as well as
[34:17] other municipalities about their
initiatives to promote walkability to
[34:22] promote Place Banking and also to
promote Economic Development within
[34:26] their communities and I had had a very
interesting Round Table discussion with
[34:30] some leaders from the city of ipsilanti
so I wanted to bring in a copy of the
[34:36] program to share with uh my Council
colleagues it's free for you to take a
[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
