All the patients 194 00:14:25,980 --> 00:14:32,120 will be 65 and older and for the most part they will be trying you know the 195 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,080 patients will be transferred to this hospital not by emergency purposes per 196 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,720 say but they will be patients that are suffering from depression, acute 197 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:48,540 cognitive confusion related to dementia or Alzheimer's. While the primary diagnosis 198 00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:54,180 of these patients will be psychiatric, the program would be able to treat those 199 00:14:54,180 --> 00:14:58,580 with the common secondary issues related to these types of illnesses. 200 00:15:00,110 --> 00:15:10,090 So it's not dealing with the criminally mentally ill, it's dealing with people who have Alzheimer's to mention other associated issues, suicidal, for that reason. 201 00:15:10,450 --> 00:15:12,410 That is correct. That is correct. 202 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,620 Okay, any other comments, discussion? Okay, Mr. Grove, please take the roll call. 203 00:15:25,820 --> 00:15:34,140 Michael Flynn, yes, Stanley Grote, yes, Rick Stafficus, John Romulan, yes, Vince Viviano, 204 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:41,760 yes, Lisa Casale, yes, motion carries. Okay. Thank you, everybody. Item number three resolution 205 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,780 addressing the state of Mr. 206 00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:49,520 Stanley Grote and I have asked the board to consider 207 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,460 this next item. With this resolution, the Township Board tonight has asked to send a message to our 208 00:15:54,460 --> 00:15:59,800 governor that we do support executive orders that will serve to reduce the spread of COVID-19 209 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:06,400 virus so that the curve may be flattened. However, many of the items in the governor's order are 210 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,060 examples of her going a bit too far in terms of restrictions that will not serve to meaningfully 211 00:16:12,060 --> 00:16:16,900 slow the spread of the virus. Instead, Michigan should adopt standards that align 212 00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:24,500 with a centered disease control to mitigate the transmission of the virus. People should be able 213 00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:32,080 to buy garden supplies, plant their spring gardens, or buy can of paint to touch up work 214 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:38,440 in compliance with the CDC rules. Governor Whitmer has, should issue a new public health executive 215 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:44,520 order. U.S. Representative Paul Mitchell has stated this position publicly, and I would agree, 216 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,500 and I know Mr. Grove does too, and that's why we are addressing the board tonight. 217 00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:55,800 Tonight we are asking the board to consider and pass this resolution in support of laying 218 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,240 out an executive order that is more in line with what the federal government recommends. 219 00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:06,620 Our residents in Shelby Township deserve to have professional long-care service when those 220 00:17:06,620 --> 00:17:12,220 companies are not responsibly following or I should say when those companies are 221 00:17:12,220 --> 00:17:18,020 act responsibly and do indeed follow federal rules. Board tonight, I hope you 222 00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:22,000 will consider supporting this resolution this evening. Who would like to make a 223 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,520 motion? Mr. Chairman, I move to approve the resolution addressing the state of 224 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,480 Michigan's response to COVID-19. 225 00:17:34,410 --> 00:17:38,070 Second, the part. A motion made by Mr. Grote, 226 00:17:38,350 --> 00:17:42,670 seconded by Ms. Casali. Mr. Grote, is there anything I missed that you would 227 00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:51,910 like to add? Well, I think we can read the resolution. Laura White is ready to read the 228 00:17:51,910 --> 00:18:04,450 text of the resolution. So let's go on Laura White and let's put that out there in language 229 00:18:04,450 --> 00:18:10,550 that is written. Okay, Ms. White, if you could please read the resolution in its entirety. 230 00:18:10,550 --> 00:18:16,270 Thank you. Resolution addressing the state of Michigan's response to COVID-19 and the 231 00:18:16,270 --> 00:18:21,950 request to the governor's office to consider an amendment to the executive order 2020-42. 232 00:18:22,570 --> 00:18:28,290 Whereas on March 10, 2020, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services identified the first 233 00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:33,870 two presumption positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. And whereas in response to the spread 234 00:18:33,870 --> 00:18:39,170 of COVID-19 in the state of Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer on March 10, 2020, 235 00:18:39,170 --> 00:18:45,150 issued Executive Order 2020-4, declaring a state of emergency across the state of Michigan 236 00:18:45,150 --> 00:18:51,210 under Section 1 Article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, the Emergency Management 237 00:18:51,210 --> 00:19:04,070 Act MCL 30.401 at SEQ and the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945, MCL 10.31 at 238 00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:11,570 SEQ. Whereas on March 23, 2020, the governor issued governor's executive order 2020-21, 239 00:19:12,170 --> 00:19:18,010 temporary requirement to suspend activities that are not necessary to sustain or protect life, 240 00:19:18,670 --> 00:19:27,290 order 2020-21. The stated purpose of order 2020-21 was, in revelant heart, to suppress the 241 00:19:27,290 --> 00:19:32,650 spread of COVID-19, to prevent the state's health care system from being overwhelmed, 242 00:19:32,650 --> 00:19:37,450 home, to allow the time for the production of critical test kits, ventilators, and personal 243 00:19:37,450 --> 00:19:42,730 protection equipment, and to avoid needless deaths. It is reasonable and necessary to direct 244 00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:47,570 residents to remain at home and in their place of residence to the maximum extent 245 00:19:47,570 --> 00:19:56,290 feasible. Whereas on April 9th, 2020, the governor issued Order 2020-42, which essentially 246 00:19:56,290 --> 00:20:05,650 rescind it and restate it order 2020-21 and extend it the stay at home mandate order 2020-42. 247 00:20:06,010 --> 00:20:12,810 While the stated purposes of the orders remained on change, order 2020-42 places additional restrictions 248 00:20:12,810 --> 00:20:18,170 on those businesses which are deemed essential. For example, home improvement stores are allowed 249 00:20:18,170 --> 00:20:22,790 to stay open but only to sell products necessary to maintain the safety, sanitation, 250 00:20:22,790 --> 00:20:25,310 and basic operations of residences. 251 00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:28,770 Requiring stores like Home Depot to close its paint section, 252 00:20:29,050 --> 00:20:31,130 flooring section, and outdoor gardening center 253 00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:33,770 and continue to restrict landscaping, lawn care, 254 00:20:34,030 --> 00:20:35,110 tree service, irrigation, 255 00:20:35,890 --> 00:20:38,470 and related outdoor maintenance companies from operating. 256 00:20:39,330 --> 00:20:41,610 Whereas the Charter of Township of Shelby 257 00:20:41,610 --> 00:20:43,890 understands the gravity of the pandemic 258 00:20:43,890 --> 00:20:46,870 and the intent of the order to prohibit in-person work 259 00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:50,210 that is not necessary to sustain or protect life. 260 00:20:50,210 --> 00:20:57,510 Order 2020-42 Section 1, as well as the mandate that no person or entity shall operate a business 261 00:20:57,510 --> 00:21:02,470 or conduct operations that require workers to leave their homes or places in residence, 262 00:21:03,170 --> 00:21:07,510 except to the extent that those workers are necessary to sustain or protect life or to 263 00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:15,490 conduct minimum basic operations. Order 2020-42 Section 4, whereas as a result of the executive 264 00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:19,690 orders shall be township residents along with all Michigan residents have complied 265 00:21:19,690 --> 00:21:24,310 with these orders in spite of the restrictions placed upon their ability to work outside their 266 00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:28,990 homes and earn a living to support themselves and their families. Many locally owned businesses 267 00:21:28,990 --> 00:21:33,070 have been forced to close and more than one million people in the state of Michigan can't 268 00:21:33,070 --> 00:21:38,230 file for unemployment. Whereas the charter township of Shelby acknowledges that the initial 269 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:43,710 terms of these executive orders were set forth to reduce the spread of COVID-19 virus and 270 00:21:43,710 --> 00:21:48,390 to flatten the curve of new cases in order to ease the strain upon the healthcare system 271 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:53,550 that also acknowledges the suggestion posed by members of the state legislature to consider 272 00:21:53,550 --> 00:21:58,850 an amendment to these orders designating business sectors of our society by a different classification 273 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,670 that of safe or unsafe as more reasonable way to manage this public health challenge while 274 00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:08,970 avoiding further damage to our economy and the lives of the residents and business owners. 275 00:22:09,790 --> 00:22:13,830 Whereas Shelby Township Police Department is fielding calls and responding to a wide 276 00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:18,750 range of essential services complaints, which causes a burden that makes it more difficult 277 00:22:18,750 --> 00:22:23,270 to respond to emergency matters and run routine crime prevention patrols. 278 00:22:24,150 --> 00:22:29,970 Whereas U.S. Representative Paul Mitchell stated in part, the governor should issue a public 279 00:22:29,970 --> 00:22:34,390 health order that aligns with the Centers for Disease Control Guidings to mitigate the 280 00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:39,130 transmission of the virus rather than her current, more restrictive, arbitrary executive 281 00:22:39,130 --> 00:22:39,830 order. 282 00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:46,090 The CDC guidelines lay out a very specific steps to protect public health that were developed by experts. 283 00:22:46,750 --> 00:22:52,670 Businesses can ensure people remain six feet apart, properly sanitized, set up sneeze guards and protective barriers, 284 00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:56,730 promote proper hand washing and cleaning techniques for their employees, 285 00:22:57,090 --> 00:22:59,990 while also protecting customers with similar guidelines. 286 00:23:00,830 --> 00:23:05,630 People can buy gardening supplies to plant their spring gardens or buy a can of paint for touch-up work 287 00:23:05,630 --> 00:23:11,610 and compliance with the CDC guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19, instead of needlessly 288 00:23:11,610 --> 00:23:15,550 setting down large sectors of the economy and further restricting the lives of residents. 289 00:23:16,090 --> 00:23:20,610 Whitmer should issue a new public health executive order and enforce the order upon 290 00:23:20,610 --> 00:23:27,490 those blatantly violating CDC guidelines to try to repress April 4th, 2020, whereas the 291 00:23:27,490 --> 00:23:31,390 Charter Township of Shelby is in support of the position to establish a revised public 292 00:23:31,390 --> 00:23:35,950 health order as suggested by the esteemed members within the United States Congress. 293 00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:41,650 Now, therefore, be it resolved, the Charter Township of Shelby Board of Trustees hereby 294 00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:47,090 adopts this resolution as a record of its request to Governor Whitmer to consider 295 00:23:47,090 --> 00:23:50,890 the classifications or designations of essential businesses and amend 296 00:23:50,890 --> 00:23:57,050 parts of the executive order 2020-42 to provide for or allow certain businesses 297 00:23:57,050 --> 00:24:01,990 within the community who can adopt safe social distancing measures pursuing to 298 00:24:01,990 --> 00:24:06,010 strict health and safety guidelines as promulgated by the Center for Disease 299 00:24:06,010 --> 00:24:11,010 Control and Prevention to operate for those employees to safely return to 300 00:24:11,010 --> 00:24:11,350 the workforce. 301 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,800 Okay thank you very much Laura and I would ask if there are any 302 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:25,160 questions or comments now would be the time. Mr. Supervisor Laura the 303 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:32,680 The Detroit Free Press article was written April 14th, you stayed at April 4th. 304 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,420 So that's a correction, every now and then it looks good. 305 00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:38,980 Thank you. 306 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,080 And I will say too, I think it was April 9th, it was a Thursday. 307 00:24:42,740 --> 00:24:48,400 I was on a phone for eight, nine hours just with people wanting to cut lawns and that's 308 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,660 really kind of what got us going. 309 00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:54,640 I know Mr. Groke had the same situation and they were calling you, they were calling 310 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,880 me and I know some of you got phone calls as well. So, we promised them that we would 311 00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:05,580 do something in terms of resolution. So, hopefully, I'm not going to say this will suffice, 312 00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:11,880 but it will be a good step forward in letting the governor know she's gone too far. 313 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,600 Any other questions? Go ahead and we'll do a real call. Thank you. 314 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:25,760 Stanley Grote, yes. Lisa Casale. Yes. Michael Flynn. Yes. Rick Stavakas. Yes. John Ramilin. Yes. 315 00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:32,520 Vince Viviano. Yes. And Len Wilhelm. Yes. Martian Carries. Okay, great. Thank you very much. 316 00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:38,800 This next one, we have another resolution tonight in response to government state home, 317 00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:45,400 say, state executive order. This resolution is actually authored by Lisa Casale, Stan Grode, 318 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:52,240 myself and we had Rob Huth, of course, write it. But this resolution covers a loophole that 319 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,400 needs to be addressed by the governor. Currently, the order has restrictions placed on, and I quote, 320 00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:03,540 non-essential medical and dental procedures, unquote. This portion of the order covers 321 00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:10,380 procedures such as dental cleanings and any other procedure that a dentist, a doctor, surgeon, 322 00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:16,340 government or other licensed medical provider decides is not, quote, necessary to address 323 00:26:16,340 --> 00:26:22,240 a medical emergency or to preserve the health and safety of a patient, unquote. 324 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:28,220 Now what is not covered by these restrictions are elective abortions as a governor has 325 00:26:28,220 --> 00:26:28,940 done nothing. 326 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,400 He's done nothing to interfere in these procedures despite their direct impact 327 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,300 on the state's health care system. 328 00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:51,240 So this resolution is asking the governor to close this loophole and make sure that these procedures are not contributing to an increased burden on our healthcare system in a spread of COVID-19 virus. 329 00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:52,980 Mr. Chairman. 330 00:27:04,660 --> 00:27:04,900 Motion. 331 00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:14,030 not essential. Second. Okay, a motion made by Mr. Rhoads seconded by Mr. 332 00:27:14,150 --> 00:27:21,330 Vermeulen. And I'm going to ask Ms. Laura White to read that it's it's quite 333 00:27:21,330 --> 00:27:26,890 lately but I think it's important that is right. Yep. And before we do that Ms. 334 00:27:27,050 --> 00:27:31,330 Casala you have any comments since you were one of the authors? No just in 335 00:27:31,330 --> 00:27:39,950 full agreement and supportive of our we're suggesting so go ahead all right 336 00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:44,110 resolution addressing the state of Michigan's response to COVID-19 and a 337 00:27:44,110 --> 00:27:47,390 request to the governor to issue new orders that state non-essential 338 00:27:47,390 --> 00:27:51,950 abortions procedures are not an essential service as previously defined 339 00:27:51,950 --> 00:27:59,610 and actually I'm sorry executive order 2020-17 whereas on March 10th 2020 the 340 00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:04,170 Michigan Department of Health and Human Services identified the first two presumption positive 341 00:28:04,170 --> 00:28:09,770 cases of COVID-19 in Michigan. And whereas in response to the spread of COVID-19 in the 342 00:28:09,770 --> 00:28:16,330 state of Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer on March 10, 2020 issued executive order 2020-4 343 00:28:16,330 --> 00:28:21,250 declaring a state of emergency across the state of Michigan under Section 1 Article 5 of the 344 00:28:21,250 --> 00:28:28,950 Michigan Constitution of 1963, the Emergency Management Act, MCL 30.401 at 345 00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:36,230 SEQ and the Emergency Powers of the Governor's Governor Act 1945, MCL 10.31 at 346 00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:43,330 SEQ. Whereas on March 20, 2020, the Governor issued Governor's Executive Order 347 00:28:43,330 --> 00:28:48,310 2020-17 temporary restrictions on non-essential medical and dental 348 00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:55,590 procedures. Order 2020-17. The stated purpose of Order 2020-17 was, in 349 00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:59,410 Revolent Part, to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, protect the public health, 350 00:28:59,710 --> 00:29:03,750 provide essential protections to vulnerable Michealanders, 351 00:29:04,330 --> 00:29:06,710 and ensure the availability of healthcare resources. 352 00:29:07,550 --> 00:29:10,930 It is reasonable and necessary to impose temporary restrictions on non-essential 353 00:29:10,930 --> 00:29:16,590 medical and dental procedures. Emphasis added. Further, the Order 2020-17 354 00:29:16,590 --> 00:29:22,190 defines a non-essential procedure as a medical or dental procedure that is not necessary to address 355 00:29:22,190 --> 00:29:27,690 as a medical emergency or to preserve the health and safety of a patient as determined by a licensed 356 00:29:27,690 --> 00:29:34,770 medical provider. Whereas, pursuant to order 2020-17, certain healthcare businesses or 357 00:29:34,770 --> 00:29:40,550 operations are required to implement a plan to temporarily postpone all non-essential procedures. 358 00:29:40,550 --> 00:29:48,130 Whereas on March 23, 2020, the governor issued governors in second of order 2020-21. 359 00:29:48,770 --> 00:29:56,070 Temporary requirement to suspend activities that are not necessary to sustain or protect life, order 2020-21. 360 00:29:56,530 --> 00:29:59,590 The stated purpose of order 2020-21 was 361 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:21,480 To prevent the state's health care system from being overwhelmed, to allow time for the production of critical test kits, ventilators and personal protection equipment, and to avoid needless deaths, it is reasonable and necessary to direct residents to rooming at home or in their place of residents to the maximum extent feasible. 362 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:28,960 Whereas the first enumerated section of Order 2020-21 states that this order must be construed 363 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,560 broadly to prohibit in-person work that is not necessary to sustain or protect life. 364 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,720 Order 2020-21, section 1, emphasis added. 365 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:44,560 Section 5, whereas Section 5A and B logically defines those workers who are necessary 366 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:50,240 to sustain or protect life as critical infrastructure workers as those workers in healthcare and 367 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,280 public health but also require those businesses and operations to restrict 368 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,180 in-person activities that are not necessary to sustain or protect life 369 00:30:58,180 --> 00:31:04,840 must be suspended until normal operations resume. Order 2020-21, section 5A, 370 00:31:05,140 --> 00:31:11,820 the emphasis added. Whereas on April 9th 2020 the governor issued order 2020-42 371 00:31:11,820 --> 00:31:17,620 which essentially rescinded and restated order 2020-21 and extended 372 00:31:17,620 --> 00:31:25,940 at the stay-at-home mandate, Order 2020-42, whereas the effect of Order 2020-21 on health 373 00:31:25,940 --> 00:31:31,920 care businesses and operations was wide-ranging and impacts entities whether or not they meet 374 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:38,020 the definition of covered facility and as Order 2020-17 still remains in effect, it 375 00:31:38,020 --> 00:31:42,100 continues to impact the scope of procedures that health and care businesses and operations 376 00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:48,380 are required to postpone. Whereas the Charter Township of Shelby understands the 377 00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:52,500 gravity of the pandemic and fully supports the intent of the order to 378 00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:56,800 prohibit in-person work that is not necessary to sustain or protect life. 379 00:31:57,460 --> 00:32:03,800 Order 2020-42, Section 1. Whereas on March 14th, U.S. Surgeon General Jerome 380 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,620 Adams tweeted the hospitals and health care systems should consider 381 00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:11,880 stopping elective procedures amid the COVID-19 outbreak. 382 00:32:13,140 --> 00:32:20,700 Whereas on March 18, the Centers for Medical and Medicaid Services, CMS, part of the Department 383 00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:25,540 of Health and Human Services that oversees hospitals and providers released a recommended 384 00:32:25,540 --> 00:32:31,140 three-tiered decision-making guidance document for hospitals entitled non-emergent elective 385 00:32:31,140 --> 00:32:33,380 medical services and treatment recommendations. 386 00:32:33,380 --> 00:32:40,080 The CMS urges hospitals and providers to consider these guidelines when limiting non-essential 387 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:45,560 adult elective surgery and medical and surgical procedures, including all dental procedures. 388 00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:51,060 The stated purpose for the adoption of the guidelines is to aggressively address COVID-19. 389 00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:56,540 CMS recognizes that conservation of critical healthcare resources is essential. 390 00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:02,100 In addition to limiting exposure of patients and staff to the virus that causes COVID-19, 391 00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:08,160 CMS also recognizes the importance of reducing burdens on the existing health system and 392 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,400 maintaining services while keeping patients and providers safe. 393 00:33:11,980 --> 00:33:18,480 Whereas the Charter Challenge of a Shelby also acknowledges that CMS tiered guidelines 394 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:24,540 also state, when determining the risks and benefit of planned procedures, not only must 395 00:33:24,540 --> 00:33:30,000 the clinical situation be evaluated, but resource conservation must also be considered. 396 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,120 but decisions remain the responsibility of local healthcare delivery systems and those 397 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:41,560 surgeons who have direct responsibility to their patients. Whereas, relatedly, CMS National 398 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:50,280 Coverage Determination, NCD, or abortion 140.1 may further establish a general precedent 399 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:56,720 for situations or events when abortion is deemed essential and limits it to 1, if the 400 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,720 pregnancy as a result of an act of rape or incest, or in the case where a woman suffers 401 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:07,300 from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life-endangering 402 00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:13,200 physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified 403 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,640 by a physician, place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed. 404 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,620 Whereas the Charter Township of Shelby supports the argument for, I'm sorry, 405 00:34:23,620 --> 00:34:30,380 of life from the moment of conception and supports a hospital's decision to ban non-essential 406 00:34:30,380 --> 00:34:34,320 abortion procedures during the state of emergency within the state of Michigan. 407 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,960 Whereas the Charter Township of Shelby further supports a general definition of an essential 408 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,560 surgery as surgery that is required when there is a threat to a patient's life if 409 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,100 the particular surgery or procedure is not performed. 410 00:34:47,820 --> 00:34:52,940 Whereas non-essential surgical abortion procedures or elective surgical abortions 411 00:34:52,940 --> 00:34:59,200 require personal protection equipment and close contact between patients, doctor and their staff 412 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:04,620 that could very likely contribute to the spread of COVID-19. Whereas the Charter Township of 413 00:35:04,620 --> 00:35:09,680 Shelby acknowledges the initial terms of these executive orders were set forth to reduce the 414 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:15,880 spread of the COVID-19 virus and to flatten the curve of the new cases in order to ease the 415 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:21,080 strain upon the health care system. Whereas despite the intent of these executive order, 416 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:27,460 Governor Whitmer is not inferring with the medical community when performing non-essential 417 00:35:27,460 --> 00:35:33,380 surgical abortion procedures, whereas the Charter Township is in support of the Governor 418 00:35:33,380 --> 00:35:38,980 amending her executive orders to ban non-essential surgical abortions procedures during the 419 00:35:38,980 --> 00:35:41,020 state of emergency within the state of Michigan. 420 00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:45,460 Now therefore be it resolved the Charter Township of the Shelby Board of Trustees, 421 00:35:45,460 --> 00:35:50,600 hereby adopts this resolution as a record of its request to Governor Whitmer to 422 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,680 amend and second of orders to ban non-essential surgical abortion procedures 423 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,840 during the state of emergency to address the COVID-19 pandemic. 424 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,040 Good job, Laura. 425 00:36:06,900 --> 00:36:13,660 Basically all we're saying is that unless there's life endangered, some kind of 426 00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:18,220 condition as such. Abortion is not medically necessary and should not be 427 00:36:18,220 --> 00:36:22,960 allowed during this crisis. That loophole should not be exploited as we believe 428 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:33,700 it is being exploited. So, any other discussion? Yes. Mr. Flynn. I agree with 429 00:36:33,700 --> 00:36:37,260 the concept, Mr. Chairman, but I just I think it's more a matter of fairness. 430 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,080 If you're going to allow abortion, you should allow knee replacements. 431 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:43,640 You 432 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,180 that are causing extreme discomfort, 433 00:36:45,380 --> 00:36:47,240 putting people in wheelchairs, et cetera, et cetera. 434 00:36:47,380 --> 00:36:49,580 So a different side of the same coin. 435 00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:50,300 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 436 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,700 Yeah, thank you, Mr. Flynn. 437 00:36:54,340 --> 00:36:55,020 Anybody else? 438 00:36:55,820 --> 00:36:56,500 Mr. Vemuelan? 439 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:56,740 Yes. 440 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,480 Yes, I'll tell you, I think that this points 441 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,060 to the governor's poorly conceived notion 442 00:37:04,060 --> 00:37:06,960 of exactly what's necessary to people's health 443 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:07,700 and what is not. 444 00:37:08,420 --> 00:37:10,400 And I'll tell you, I have a friend from high school. 445 00:37:10,580 --> 00:37:12,280 He's on a heart transplant list. 446 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:18,760 He cannot even get the appropriate testing to make sure that when a recipient does come in 447 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,180 That he can get a heart from it's not being done 448 00:37:22,180 --> 00:37:29,320 Where is the concern for life and all this it points to one more inconsistency. It's just inappropriate with common sense 449 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,860 It's incompatible, and it's unconstitutional. Thank you 450 00:37:32,860 --> 00:37:35,640 Thank you anyone else 451 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,820 Okay, real call, please 452 00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:46,260 Uh, Stanley grot. Yes. Uh, John Bremulan.

Okay overnight email and 457 00:38:11,900 --> 00:38:16,060 whatever else you can think of. Not only that but I think we need to put it out 458 00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:22,380 to the public in a form of press releases that we're not going to stand by 459 00:38:23,660 --> 00:38:32,440 overreach by our governor and misrepresenting what is really 460 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:39,020 important to sustain life or what's not? Can you please contact Brad Bates 461 00:38:39,020 --> 00:38:43,380 tomorrow so he can cover that in a couple releases?

I know that we have a target date of either April 30th or March 468 00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:24,920 1st, but that can change depending on the direction of the governor.
