1
00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:16,470
Good evening, everyone. We'll call the meeting of April 18, 2016 of the mayor and city council,

2
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:21,410
the city of Lincoln Park. Everyone would please rise for a pledge allegiance to the flag.

3
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:31,090
And we will then be followed by a moment of silence for those people in Japan and Ecuador that are reeling after the earthquake

4
00:00:31,090 --> 00:00:34,910
and I'll leave the desk and injuries there.

5
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:39,870
So I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

6
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:44,530
and to the Republic, which stands on Nation under God.

7
00:00:45,310 --> 00:00:48,350
We are in the visible liberty and the best for all.

8
00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:01,330
Thank you.

9
00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:02,190
We could have Roku.

10
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:04,550
House of Persons, guys, let's speak.

11
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:04,870
Here.

12
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:05,470
The Santa.

13
00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:06,530
Candace.

14
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:06,910
Here.

15
00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:07,530
Go see.

16
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:07,890
Here.

17
00:01:08,170 --> 00:01:08,270
There.

18
00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:09,190
Here.

19
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:09,650
there.

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,860
Again, good evening everyone.

21
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,620
We will hold that off for another time.

22
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:32,820
I have

23
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:42,720
noticed to everybody that the assessing department or assessors will be out and about in the

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,280
neighborhoods. We'll be going door to door. These folks will be doing this during rubber

25
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,260
business hours. They will have identifications on. If there is a question on whether they

26
00:01:56,260 --> 00:02:02,980
are proper and they should be there or not, you would call City Hall, the 3-8-6-1800 number,

27
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:10,960
and extension 2-3-1, I think it would be appropriate for that. Does that usually get answered?

28
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,900
and there are some things that will not be entering any structures if you are not home.

29
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,540
These will only be exterior pictures and measurements.

30
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:27,140
These contractors will have a contractor's ID badge for identification and will provide it upon request.

31
00:02:28,260 --> 00:02:31,620
If the assessing department comes to your property while you are not home,

32
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,540
they will leave a door tag on the front door.

33
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:39,400
The door tag will have the date time, contact information and status of your property.

34
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,880
please call the schedule appointment if it's indicated on your door. So you are

35
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,660
aware that they will be coming out and going door to door but if you have any

36
00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:54,840
questions again call city hall and if you can't get from there then you can

37
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,120
call the police department. Again, don't let anybody on your property that you're

38
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,740
unsure of or don't let anybody inside of your home that you have questions for.

39
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:08,100
There are fraudulent. There are people out there that try to take advantage of

40
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:12,400
you by misrepresenting themselves, so we want you to be sure with this.

41
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,140
Yes sir.

42
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,880
How are you sir?

43
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,100
Well you're properly so big sir they had to

44
00:03:37,660 --> 00:03:39,860
found the jug. I don't know

45
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:28,980
We'll check and see why they were at your address when they were and maybe they just got yours not ahead of time

46
00:04:28,980 --> 00:04:31,040
That's the little figure it out.

47
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,240
Looking for that gold you buried.

48
00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:40,600
Now we have the trash containers again.

49
00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:44,520
Most people are putting them in the proper place between the sidewalk and the curb.

50
00:04:45,140 --> 00:04:50,680
We ask that you hold out all out there and you know who you are.

51
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,820
To please put it between the sidewalk and the curb.

52
00:04:54,820 --> 00:05:02,660
particularly if you have a house that is on on a traffic lane. That's where it's

53
00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:08,200
supposed to be. Cruz take care of business there. Tomorrow in the state

54
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:15,400
capital they're going to be announcing child abuse on Wednesday. Now the city

55
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,440
two weeks ago declared able to be child abuse prevention month. Now the

56
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,300
The sad fact is, is that child abuse has been on the increase the last couple of years,

57
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,000
whether it's due to our financial conditions or not.

58
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:32,620
This is just something that we need to get behind.

59
00:05:33,260 --> 00:05:41,540
If you have witness child abuse taking place, if you think that you have, you need to call

60
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:43,360
the police department and report them.

61
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,720
Or if you can do it anonymously, that the child children's protective service too.

62
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:55,660
But the sad fact is that there are kids out there that are being injured and we need to

63
00:05:55,660 --> 00:06:01,080
do everything that we can in order to prevent this or to get them out of the circumstances

64
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,940
where they are having her.

65
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:14,580
As part of the program at the state capital, they plant a field of grouped inwheels and

66
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:20,320
And they keep those as a symbol that they are supporting child abuse prevention.

67
00:06:20,820 --> 00:06:27,400
So, as residents, if you want to show your support for child abuse prevention, you can

68
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:33,000
display some blue tin wheels in your yard or a blue ribbon.

69
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,740
And that is all that I have to

70
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,460
go to the consent agenda.

71
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:49,700
Resolved that the following items list are in the consent agenda be approved as presented to the Mayor and City Council.

72
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:54,300

73
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:59,340
Two charitable solicitation American Cancer Society, Arulae for Life.

74
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,780
Let's pull it.

75
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,160
Recall the roll.

76
00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:17,780
Yes,

77
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:38,020
actually, that we have a special event permit resolved that the special event permit number seven be approved for McCaffrey's bar to hold their annual beach bash party at 421-04th Street Lincoln Park, Michigan on August 13th, 2016 from 10th of May.

81
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,860

82
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:57,500
Three applicants will be responsible for cleanup of all debris associated with

83
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,700
the event from surrounding properties.

84
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,160
The further resolved that the above resolution be implemented and given a immediate

86

So, discussion, is there a plan to have live music?

88
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:22,820
Yep.

89
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,420
Yeah, this or that?

90
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:24,840
Uh-huh.

91
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:30,020
Amplifier.

92
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,660
And we received no complaints on that last event

93
00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:39,820
that they had where just recently.

94
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:40,200
Okay

95
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,280
From the discussion

103
00:09:32,950 --> 00:09:36,650
events from surrounding properties. The further resolved that the above

104
00:09:36,650 --> 00:09:40,410

Some move.

107
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:47,160
Special.

108
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:50,200
Quick call to roll.

111
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,460
Kelsey?

112
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:52,880
Yes.

113
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,540
Desantil.

114
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:54,420
Candace.

115
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:55,280
First, Murphy?

116
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:55,720
Yes.

117
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Zellman?

118
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:56,560
Yes.

119
00:09:56,780 --> 00:09:57,480
Mayor Pattsy.

120
00:09:57,700 --> 00:09:57,840
Yes.

121
00:09:59,420 --> 00:10:06,580
We have another item that's not on the agenda, but whereas Mayor and City Council wish

122
00:10:06,580 --> 00:10:12,080
to schedule meetings to discuss fiscal year in 2016, 2017 budget.

123
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:29,140
Now, therefore, it may be resolved that the mayor and council schedule study sessions on fiscal year 2016-2017 budget for Thursday, April 21, 2016 at 6.30 p.m., and Monday, April 25, 2016 at 6.30 p.m.

124
00:10:29,140 --> 00:10:32,000
and the John A. I always see council chambers,

125
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,000
one, three, five, five, southfield, road, Lincoln Park, Michigan.

126
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:39,380
Support, discussion,

127
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:42,400
critical role.

128
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:44,660
Council President DeSanto, Candace.

129
00:10:45,060 --> 00:10:45,220
Yes.

130
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,080
DeSansky?

131
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Yes.

132
00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:47,620
Kelsey?

133
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,140
Yes.

134
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,480
Murphy?

135
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:48,860
Yes.

136
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,200
Yes.

137
00:10:49,820 --> 00:10:51,640
We have

138
00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:59,790
an item from the city attorney, and it's a letter

139
00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:00,950
from the city attorney.

140
00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:05,030
We'll go out from the city attorney to our city manager, Mr. Popper.

141
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:18,370
The Michigan Attorney General's office contacted me today with a concern of the dates reflected in charter amendment language, which in the light of the previous 2014, 2017 section adopted by the voters needs clarification.

142
00:11:19,410 --> 00:11:30,610
This can safely be, this can be safely considered a scrutinist error in reduction to the proposal in minutes with no change in purpose.

143
00:11:30,610 --> 00:11:36,350
or intent. Adoption this evening in cursory submission to the art tab at tomorrow's meeting

144
00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:42,210
would be genuinely appreciated. Please pass this matter along to City Council for Miss

145
00:11:42,210 --> 00:11:47,970
Nene's Resolution and Task Trend, and that's our C.A. Attorney Ed Zelneck, so we'll fill

146
00:11:47,970 --> 00:11:54,110
for the resolution we can have discussion for this area after that. Resolve this resolution

147
00:11:54,110 --> 00:11:56,350
in 2016-14.

148
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:06,130
Prop Charter Amendment renew, grease and fire millage be corrected in part based upon a

149
00:12:06,130 --> 00:12:08,190
scrutiners' error to read as follows.

150
00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:16,190
Propose Charter Amendment, authorize a renewal of the millage not to exceed 3.4591 mills

151
00:12:16,190 --> 00:12:23,230
for three years, fiscal year 2017-18, fiscal year 2018-19.

152
00:12:23,830 --> 00:12:29,390
fiscal year 2019 to 2020, so early for police and fire purposes.

153
00:12:31,770 --> 00:12:33,870
Some move up good.

154
00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:38,390
Go up and up the discussion. City Attorney, would you take the lead?

155
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:41,630
The first thing I'm going to say, dictation doesn't always work as the word is

156
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:46,570
relation, not reduction. I don't know how that happened. Just so you know you stumbled

157
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:48,410
over that, we're a nice stumbled over hearing it too.

158
00:12:48,410 --> 00:12:53,410
You know, this one, it was always revealed that charter amendments, at least in my 37

159
00:12:53,410 --> 00:12:57,970
years here with the city, that we've proposed, said it's perfect, but in putting the map

160
00:12:57,970 --> 00:13:01,610
together on the timing, based upon the previous charter amendments, anyone back with the entire

161
00:13:02,290 --> 00:13:08,850
file on this particular marriage of rape, the yours have to be more clearly defined, and there

162
00:13:08,850 --> 00:13:09,450
is no change.

163
00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:13,850
I believe these are the three years you wanted, and if they are, it's a copy that I met

164
00:13:13,850 --> 00:13:18,390
out immediately met with the clerk and prepared this thing at 3.30 this afternoon. So you need

165
00:13:18,390 --> 00:13:22,850
to act today so we can just advise the RTA Board tomorrow. This is a brilliant review,

166
00:13:23,690 --> 00:13:27,170
bringing that down to the clerk as soon as the governor signs off. I understand this signature is

167
00:13:27,170 --> 00:13:27,370
eminent.

168
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:35,370
In further discussion? Clerk, all the roll. Councilor President, does this be?

169
00:13:48,050 --> 00:13:48,110

172
00:13:56,660 --> 00:14:00,800
Resolved that the account of some claims payable for those items greater than $25,000,

182
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:17,980
I'll move.

183
00:15:18,620 --> 00:15:20,900
This is for discussion.

184
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:23,770
We're calling the right.

185
00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:24,590
Mayor Ponds.

186
00:15:24,830 --> 00:15:24,930

187
00:15:25,250 --> 00:15:26,250
Councilperson Candace.

188
00:15:26,830 --> 00:15:26,930
Yes.

189
00:15:27,310 --> 00:15:27,850
Does it ski?

190
00:15:28,030 --> 00:15:28,170
Yes.

191
00:15:28,350 --> 00:15:28,790
The Santo.

192
00:15:29,210 --> 00:15:29,630

193
00:15:29,850 --> 00:15:30,050
Yes.

194
00:15:30,190 --> 00:15:30,490
Matthew.

195
00:15:34,390 --> 00:15:37,870
We'll do the city manager's report, Mr. Copper.

196
00:15:38,710 --> 00:15:39,350
We'll do everyone.

197
00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:44,950
I will provide you with an overview of the last couple of weeks' worth of work.

198
00:15:45,490 --> 00:15:48,650
I just want to call out a couple of things to your attention tonight.

199
00:15:49,790 --> 00:16:08,790
First off, I remember three on the list is about last week with Jim Beziak, who is with global

200
00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:13,830
here. He is, we're telling him we're looking for him to come in at the May 16th meeting

201
00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:18,710
to do an update on where he stands in the renovation and sell each one of the properties,

202
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:25,470
and play with that potentially on that Sunday, which would be May 15th. He's going to open

203
00:16:25,470 --> 00:16:30,310
up a few of the homes, so we'll provide you the addresses if you'd like to go see the work

204
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:36,730
that's actually been done firsthand. I will say that the houses that he showed me are

205
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:46,750
they are done very nicely. I think they've met one of their roles of improving the value of the properties

206
00:16:46,750 --> 00:16:53,710
what he had said to me was the offers that they were seeing on the properties that had been placed out to sell

207
00:16:53,710 --> 00:16:59,730
are coming very close to what they anticipated. So I let you know specifically what the dates are,

208
00:16:59,730 --> 00:17:04,030
other items that are smaller-wise so we can get you out there to take a look and get

209
00:17:04,030 --> 00:17:06,090
him in here to give us an update on that.

210
00:17:07,870 --> 00:17:13,770
The other item is on the backside is the budget documents.

211
00:17:14,290 --> 00:17:19,270
I hope to have him to you today, unfortunately we're still working through some of the issues

212
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:20,510
of balancing the budget.

213
00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:26,910
My intention is tomorrow morning to have an electronic version out to everybody and we're going

214
00:17:26,910 --> 00:17:29,970
a hard copy in the boxes by the end of the day.

215
00:17:31,030 --> 00:17:35,710
So that's going, I think, you know, one of the rules that we're trying to do is keep

216
00:17:35,710 --> 00:17:39,410
it within, or I call it four rules, or the emergency manager's budget.

217
00:17:39,790 --> 00:17:44,850
I think we're pretty close and in a lot of the areas to do in that, so moving them around

218
00:17:44,850 --> 00:17:48,730
to address some of the bigger issues that we have within the city.

219
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:58,470
Also, I want to let people know that the dangerous voting board has technically set May 19th

220
00:17:58,470 --> 00:18:02,550
as their next meeting and there's been some interest in when that's going to happen.

221
00:18:03,170 --> 00:18:09,730
May 19th is where I was told, it's supposed to be finalized very shortly, but that will be the dates.

222
00:18:11,070 --> 00:18:13,690
And if there's any questions, I'm glad to answer.

223
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:50,360
Yeah, there's been a lot of different names there, but I think the purchase rise, you know,

224
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:55,300
If you see me, you say there in Ralph, we're going to just in the house, they're going to talk about it.

225
00:18:56,180 --> 00:18:59,220
Yeah, so as soon as I get that, uh...

226
00:18:59,220 --> 00:19:01,220
Yeah, yeah, as soon as I get that.

227
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:02,320
Now, they're marching.

228
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,480
Now, all that has to be done, they're working on it.

229
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:07,940
They're working on it.

230
00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:11,000
I hope they're going to work with it because they're going to see it work.

231
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:14,080
In the time, they're working on it.

232
00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:16,680
They're going to have a few more.

233
00:19:28,860 --> 00:19:36,120
Okay, then we will go to the Department of Head Report, and we have the DPS, hard drive to Mr.

234
00:19:36,260 --> 00:19:36,520
Kazoo.

235
00:19:38,970 --> 00:19:39,950
Thank you very much.

236
00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:47,040
Mayor and Council and City Manager and City Attorney.

237
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,200
I'm just here to give you an update on some of the projects that we're working on.

238
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,840
I'm Jim Hansworth from Hennessy Engineers.

239
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:57,940
Thank you.

240
00:19:57,940 --> 00:19:58,760
Thank you, Mayor.

241
00:19:59,540 --> 00:20:05,360
We'll start out with sanitary sewer, state revolving loan, which is the SRF project.

242
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:09,500
That's a sanitary sewer rehabilitation program.

243
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,280
That includes the cured and placed full-length lining, as well as some spot lining.

244
00:20:16,140 --> 00:20:21,160
So in that project, we'll have about 15,000 feet of cleaning and televised sanitary sewers.

245
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,040
And then we'll have full-length liners for those sewers.

246
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:34,400
We'll also have the care in place spotliners under this program and there's about 20,000

247
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:41,040
feet of cleaning and televising of sanitary sewers with approximately 84 repair locations.

248
00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:46,140
And we'll also have manhole rehabilitation as part of this project.

249
00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:52,920
The loan closing took place last Monday and the pre-construction meeting is scheduled for April

250
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,980
27th.

251
00:20:53,980 --> 00:20:58,380
The expected work should start in May.

252
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:03,980
So we'll have a better idea at the pre-construction meeting as to when the contractor plans to start.

253
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,580
Moving on, we have the Pagel Street Reconstruction.

254
00:21:09,180 --> 00:21:12,800
And this would be from west of electric to Wilson.

255
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,700
The survey work has been completed.

256
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:18,260
We are working on the design right now.

257
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:23,520
We anticipate putting that out for bids approximately the third week of May.

258
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:27,080
We have the asphalt resurfacing program.

259
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,760
That would include sea cut from Lafayette to Fort Street, Lafayette from Southfield to

260
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:43,000
Cuppen, progress from Lafayette to Fort Street, O'Connor from Fort Street to Chandler, college

261
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,520
from Howard to Lafayette.

262
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:52,000
We're finishing up the design right now, and we expect to have that going out to bed

263
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,700
sometime early next week.

264
00:21:54,980 --> 00:22:03,140
Then we have a concrete suctioning program, which includes Applewood from Lincoln to Champaign,

265
00:22:04,140 --> 00:22:14,780
Lafayette from Buckingham to Liberty, New York from Fort to Fort Park, as well as utilities

266
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,600
utility and catch basin repairs throughout the city. Again, the design we're

267
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,260
working on that design right now as well and we're expecting that to go out to

268
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:27,940
bed sometime next week or early the following week.

269
00:22:29,980 --> 00:22:31,940
Next we have electric

270
00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:36,760
avenue intersection improvements. That's the intersections of electric and

271
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,540
Monty, Electric and Russell, and Electric and O'Connor.

272
00:22:43,060 --> 00:22:48,260
The RTAB approval for the design is expected at tomorrow's meeting.

273
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:52,680
So once we have that approval, we will begin surveying right away.

274
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,600
We are already anticipating that, so we've put it into the schedule, but we'll wait for the approval.

275
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,480
One of the other projects we've been working on is the retention basin.

276
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:12,340
You may recall that we're having issues with the pond erosion and stabilization, so we did put together a plan.

277
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,480
We had some boring stuns so we know what type of soil conditions we're working on.

278
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:25,060
So we have designed a sheet piling for that pond to protect it and prevent further erosion.

279
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,220
We are expecting that to go out to bed early next week as well.

280
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:34,960
So one of the newest things are kind of not new, but we've been having issues with the retention

281
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:43,560
basin leaking in some undermining of the around the basin.

282
00:23:43,940 --> 00:23:50,700
So I know the Department of Public Works as well as some contractors have been looking

283
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:51,320
at that.

284
00:23:51,980 --> 00:23:54,260
And we're doing further investigation.

285
00:23:54,260 --> 00:23:57,920
We did find a rather large crack in the wall

286
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:05,220
between above the in-influent lines.

287
00:24:05,420 --> 00:24:07,620
What it does is the pumps pump water

288
00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:09,200
into the Influent Channel.

289
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,320
And then that gates control what?

290
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,160
Where the water goes into each basin.

291
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,320
We did find a crack in the wall.

292
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,340
And I believe John may talk more about that in his reports.

293
00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:23,580
which I won't go into that too much.

294
00:24:24,220 --> 00:24:26,740
The last project is the Hazel Street Bridge.

295
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,600
The plans and specifications are completed.

296
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,480
MDOT is issuing all the permits right now.

297
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,800
That project is scheduled to go out to bed

298
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,440
with a bit opening in June.

299
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:43,240
So we should be seeing that project start

300
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,640
in the very near future.

301
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,760
And I welcome any questions if anyone has any questions.

302
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:11,380
Yes, sir.

303
00:25:11,780 --> 00:25:11,840
Yes, sir.

304
00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:12,380
Yes, sir.

305
00:25:42,380 --> 00:25:46,900
have fitted that it take 5, 3, and 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5. I don't know if I said one,

306
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:56,960
one, a cost of $600 for which I've run a code, that I've done. And then the one after

307
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:06,740
the amount, I say, 5.51 side, 10 if it, next, which, you know, the 5.50 because I'm

308
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:48,700
I guess if I'm understanding you correctly you'd like to have the quantities in there

309
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:55,200
server if they do ten feet they get paid for ten you know ten feet by five feet they

310
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:01,480
do five feet they get paid five by five I know you gotta put them up yeah I put it $125

311
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,460
$5 and $125 and how much it is to put this down, because it's not a whole one to share.

312
00:27:08,020 --> 00:27:14,960
I don't want to lose this $1,200 and 25 feet, I don't believe in the contract, I don't

313
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,280
believe in nobody because it's nothing but a show and everything's safe.

314
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,580
Do you do that for me please?

315
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,420
Yeah, I do.

316
00:27:22,460 --> 00:27:26,820
I don't get what's wrong with that, but Ryan to make sure that's how we have it set on.

317
00:27:26,820 --> 00:27:30,780
And when you say that before they go out of the bed, you money,

318
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:34,660
pack a similar bed sheets, take a look at those,

319
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,660
rent them out of bed, done, because email, okay, do you want them faxed?

320
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,820
Email it to me.

321
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:40,860
Okay. Okay.

322
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,260
I don't know what to do with the English.

323
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,300
I don't done it.

324
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,020
No, I just wanted to make sure I did what you wanted done, for sure.

325
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:53,960
The rest of the, the rest of those of the job are left for you after this and that.

326
00:27:53,960 --> 00:28:05,900
I know you've got to go the other way, you know, to really chair the river because you've got to go in one inch and a foot, if you've got to take it out, two, four, five, five, four, come here to jump.

327
00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:09,540
But you've got a specific age of an arm and a square of feet.

328
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,380
I might cost a square of feet to replace it.

329
00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:13,960
Will it chair?

330
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:14,600
It sure am.

331
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:14,900
Yeah.

332
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:15,720
Thank you very much.

333
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:16,940
Thank you very much.

334
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,120
Anyone else?

335
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,840
May I serve the chair?

336
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:20,620
Yes.

337
00:28:20,620 --> 00:28:21,240
Yes sir.

338
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:22,420
Yes sir.

339
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:28,700
Would you please put on your geologist cap and explain the difference in clay content and

340
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:34,280
soil between the west side of the state and southeastern Michigan and how the effects

341
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,160
water run off in drainage?

342
00:28:36,820 --> 00:28:41,680
I would like to but I am mad at geologists to be honest with you so-

343
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,880
So you will not answer the question.

344
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,960
I don't have a head trip to that question to be honest with you.

345
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,340
I will take you over there and I'm doing counsel remarks thank you.

346
00:28:49,380 --> 00:28:49,500
Yep.

347
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:56,320
Okay. Very good. And if you need anything on that, I would be glad to do anything or find out for sure.

348
00:28:56,540 --> 00:29:01,540
So if you have something you would like me to check into, I would be absolutely glad to do that.

349
00:29:01,540 --> 00:29:03,480
I'll get your card after the meeting. Thank you.

350
00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:08,700
Good evening, Mayor and Council.

351
00:29:09,740 --> 00:29:17,800
John, because of GPS factor, couple of items, Jim touched basically, or lightly on the crack that we had found at the retention basin.

352
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,200
and it is an ugly crack.

353
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:24,240
We will, Tennessee and the deep gas will be meeting

354
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,820
with various contractors in assessing what has to be done

355
00:29:31,090 --> 00:29:32,960
and how quickly we can get it done

356
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,860
and a best method of correcting it.

357
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:38,120
We do have some leakage and we've,

358
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:43,460
where it's leaking externally and also back into our well wall.

359
00:29:43,460 --> 00:29:47,120
When you say externally, you're saying that it's going into the creek?

360
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:53,520
No, right now it is going into a courtyard at the retention basin.

361
00:29:54,740 --> 00:29:58,300
So it's being right now conditionally contained.

362
00:30:01,650 --> 00:30:03,130
And I'm just going to leave it at that.

363
00:30:05,630 --> 00:30:09,530
Some of your other items that Jim did not touch on because

364
00:30:09,530 --> 00:30:16,250
there was an issue for a while with Wayne County. Wayne County has started the construction

365
00:30:16,250 --> 00:30:23,070
process on Moran. They started that knowing process last Friday. And I want to call it

366
00:30:23,070 --> 00:30:29,010
Moran. Wayne County calls it Goddard, but it's basically from my 75 to Dicks, so that process

367
00:30:29,010 --> 00:30:29,750
has started.

368
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:37,890
The other thing, a couple of other things, and I don't know if you have a copy of

369
00:30:37,890 --> 00:30:44,510
our muffler report from March that's going to be going to the out tab. If you do, great, if not,

370
00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:51,770
I'm going to go through it here pretty quickly. Some of those items that we have addressed at some

371
00:30:51,770 --> 00:30:59,850
in the various buildings, we've had 11 issues here at City Hall, 12 at the courthouse,

372
00:31:00,270 --> 00:31:07,670
2 at the fire, 4 at the library, 6 at the place department, 15 at the senior center,

373
00:31:09,350 --> 00:31:21,110
Multiple has completed 20, 21 service calls, 44 majors, excuse me, 44 minors, 7 majors.

374
00:31:22,030 --> 00:31:30,350
We've had service calls, which is where we have to go out to intersect or retrieve the vehicle off the street.

375
00:31:33,530 --> 00:31:37,590
We have received 450 calls into our dispatch.

376
00:31:38,650 --> 00:31:40,930
We've replaced 45 signs,

377
00:31:43,330 --> 00:31:48,010
core patch, we've put out 50 times, we've put approximately 640

378
00:31:48,010 --> 00:31:49,290
man hours into that.

379
00:31:50,190 --> 00:31:57,570
We are trying to get our spray patch out so far, the asphalt plants are not yet producing

380
00:31:58,100 --> 00:31:58,430
emotion.

381
00:31:58,910 --> 00:32:04,730
They just started forming up the asphalt or the tuneless plants yesterday, so we're hoping

382
00:32:04,730 --> 00:32:09,730
to receive that emulsion this week, and if that's the case, we'll get the spray patch

383
00:32:09,730 --> 00:32:10,390
machine out.

384
00:32:11,950 --> 00:32:14,750
We've picked up four evictions.

385
00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:21,010
Water product, we've had 59 citizen request issues or items.

386
00:32:21,770 --> 00:32:27,250
We've done nine water shutoffs, 27 water turnouts.

387
00:32:27,690 --> 00:32:30,210
We've cleaned out 23 catch basins.

388
00:32:30,210 --> 00:32:43,390
We have jetted out 1672 linear feet of storm sewer and we've cleaned out 20,684 linear feet of sanitary sewer.

389
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:57,120
We also have tables and chairs, excuse me, tables and garbage cans out in the parks because with the warm of weather people are getting out into the parks more.

390
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:11,500
This may not mean a whole lot to this board here, where the mayor and council, but all of the lights on all of the city buildings, exterior lights are functioning.

391
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,240
That is the first time in the time that I have been here in seven years that that has happened,

392
00:33:19,420 --> 00:33:20,800
and I think that's pretty amazing.

393
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:27,680
Park for the little leagues and here in the community have what we call little league south

394
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,900
and little league north. All of their facilities are functioning except for one concession stand

395
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,240
and we're having some electrical issues with that presently and soon to be resolved.

396
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:51,600
One of the things that has been very paramount so far and I'm thankful that it's mother nature that has helped us.

397
00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:58,840
Last show about this time, the city had been in receipt of approximately 180 water man breaks, 180.

398
00:33:59,780 --> 00:34:01,660
This year we have only had 17.

399
00:34:04,220 --> 00:34:08,240
And I am hoping it's all because of mother nature being very forgiving.

400
00:34:10,570 --> 00:34:15,010
So we're very light on water man breaks, but I hope saying this doesn't jinx us.

401
00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:20,650
Does anybody have any questions or comments that I could help them with?

402
00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:22,410
Mayor, through the chair?

403
00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:23,410
Yes, sir.

404
00:34:23,510 --> 00:34:23,530
Good.

405
00:34:24,090 --> 00:34:24,750
Okay, John.

406
00:34:25,690 --> 00:34:27,890
All exterior lights are working at all city buildings.

407
00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:28,590
Yes, sir.

408
00:34:28,810 --> 00:34:29,890
It's a very, very big thing.

409
00:34:30,090 --> 00:34:32,010
Speaking for someone that has glaucoma,

410
00:34:32,010 --> 00:34:33,490
red and allentral fibroplasia,

411
00:34:33,790 --> 00:34:34,310
night blindness,

412
00:34:34,990 --> 00:34:38,050
and a whole bunch of other Latin things that are wrong with my eyes.

413
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:40,430
So, that's a big thing,

414
00:34:40,650 --> 00:34:42,090
and it's a great thing,

415
00:34:42,350 --> 00:34:44,290
because it makes it everything more safe.

416
00:34:46,370 --> 00:34:46,870
Thank you, Mayor.

417
00:34:47,230 --> 00:34:47,530
Thank you.

418
00:34:47,970 --> 00:34:48,450
Through the chair.

419
00:34:48,690 --> 00:34:49,250
Oh, sorry.

420
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:55,330
just one thing when you do get these freight hatching machine out if you

421
00:34:55,330 --> 00:35:01,770
look at Harrison. Harrison was just redone. I suggest it was probably

422
00:35:01,770 --> 00:35:08,230
70 years ago but I think that there's a cracking that's going on the

423
00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:15,790
center of that. Harrison from right away. Harrison from Fort Street to River Drive

424
00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:20,510
basically, where it was, where I noticed the cracks were between

425
00:35:20,510 --> 00:35:22,410
ghoul, yeah,

426
00:35:25,050 --> 00:35:28,250
already, buttons down and down the center, it's

427
00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:33,210
something, I think that's something that they're preventive

428
00:35:33,210 --> 00:35:36,050
maintenance, it's something that could be done like a

429
00:35:36,670 --> 00:35:41,910
computer basis, I mean we want to keep the decent rows that we got

430
00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:45,490
decent, right? Exactly. And that's what we got the spray

431
00:35:46,470 --> 00:36:02,720
That's one of many items, just a question for you John, a good report by the way, thank you, most of that stuff being Mario here were there Friday's but it was nice to hear the rest of the stuff that we don't hear.

432
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:14,800
I got a question for you, I had a resident call and asked me that the Nights of Columbus Hall and out of drive, it backs up to the creek and then it backs up to a field and it backs up to a residential street.

433
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:23,800
A couple of the residents called, and we're asking if they take some of that debris down along the creek there between the KSC and the actual field.

434
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,100
If they bundled up, it'll nice if you could send somebody over there to pick that up and dispose of it.

435
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,080
Is that possible or does that sound different?

436
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,140
If they bundle it, no.

437
00:36:32,660 --> 00:36:36,460
My question is, is it within the drain right away?

438
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:38,920
I don't know. They've had an issue.

439
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,440
I think the Knights of the Columbus have been taking care of that drain or that creek

440
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,540
I should say the area there and they were asking if they volunteered and did it

441
00:36:47,540 --> 00:36:52,840
I don't know what that entails. That's why I'm asking you typically I would say that would be up to Wayne

442
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:59,320
County but I don't think Wayne County unless it is a tree that has physically fallen into the creek

443
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:04,020
we're really not going to give much participation from Wayne County so

444
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:08,360
So accident that, if they wanted to put in the time and effort, we'll do our damnedest

445
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:16,000
to get it picked up because they're trying to make it look better in order to get rid

446
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:16,380
of it.

447
00:37:16,860 --> 00:37:18,120
Yes, we would try to do that.

448
00:37:18,340 --> 00:37:21,820
They're going to drag it out to the streets, so it's not going to be in a click, it'll

449
00:37:21,820 --> 00:37:22,480
be dragged out.

450
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:22,700
Right.

451
00:37:22,860 --> 00:37:23,460
Street, so you can.

452
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:32,340
But what I worry about is them doing a tremendous job in creating a tremendous workload.

453
00:37:32,340 --> 00:37:32,520
Hello.

454
00:37:32,820 --> 00:37:36,860
I would suggest that if the KSC got a hold of our intern

455
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,820
and he could facilitate between both parties

456
00:37:40,820 --> 00:37:43,860
and set up, because we used to have a correct cleanup day.

457
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,480
They used to do that, you're on it,

458
00:37:45,540 --> 00:37:47,760
but they don't do what haven't done for the last numerous years.

459
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,240
But we can start something.

460
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:51,860
That's fine.

461
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,700
I think they were just answering that.

462
00:37:53,940 --> 00:37:57,660
That Adam would be the person to go through.

463
00:37:58,340 --> 00:38:00,320
As we did the park clean-ups last year,

464
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:06,300
this could be the start of you know the sections of correct I'll do that then I'll

465
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:09,340
give that on the residence phone number and he can coordinate that and they can coordinate

466
00:38:09,340 --> 00:38:14,200
with you Johnny what was that okay with you then thank you very much I appreciate you thank you

467
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:21,830
anything further excuse me well thank you sir I'm going to thank you

468
00:38:21,830 --> 00:38:32,650
Mr. Rale had a complaint about a block, let me call those things, sewer, retention basin

469
00:38:32,650 --> 00:38:38,610
out on the street, yes sir, and he took care of their problem properly, so nice job

470
00:38:38,610 --> 00:38:38,970
on that.

471
00:38:39,390 --> 00:38:44,310
And if you would not mind staying during citizen communication in case there's a question

472
00:38:48,650 --> 00:38:53,290
We will move into citizen communication my

473
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:07,880
name is I do share here live in Lincoln Park and I think all the Lincoln Parkers got their summer

474
00:39:08,610 --> 00:39:11,920
2016 issue of city of Lincoln Park happenings

475
00:39:12,860 --> 00:39:17,960
There's four pages of water report in the issue on page 12

476
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,780
There was a good paragraph about lead. I hope everyone reads it.

477
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:27,040
The article says some of the things I have been saying for the last couple of

478
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:33,420
council meetings. Now we hear that the public schools in Detroit, some of the

479
00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:38,600
public schools in Detroit got lead in their water. How did it get there? They

480
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:43,040
didn't say. Maybe like we get lead in our water from the lead in the

481
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:48,640
the solder which was used to solder the copper pipes together until Congress banned the

482
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,400
use of lead solder in 1986.

483
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,460
And through the chair, I'd like to ask Mr. Kazoo

484
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,620
about, we had about ten houses in the

485
00:40:01,620 --> 00:40:07,460
last few years that were demolished, and I think the DPS disconnected the water services

486
00:40:07,460 --> 00:40:08,920
to those houses?

487
00:40:12,060 --> 00:40:17,420
Did anyone notice what kind of pipe was used? The lead iron or copper?

488
00:40:17,980 --> 00:40:19,500
All the top of my head.

489
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:31,460
The answer to that question is no, but we do have three by five cards,

490
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:38,340
and some of that information is on those cards, but every home, no, we do not have every home.

491
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,000
Because the fuel when they disconnected the pipes, I thought maybe they made a record

492
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:44,800
of it.

493
00:40:45,060 --> 00:40:52,000
Because it would, this will give us an idea of the older homes in Lincoln Park, how they

494
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,820
get their water if it's from lead pipes like in Flint there.

495
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:02,540
No one seems to know what kind of, what we have a lot of lead pipes or we don't have any

496
00:41:02,540 --> 00:41:03,220
or what.

497
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,040
And I was thought maybe when you disconnect these houses, somebody would have noticed.

498
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,060
is what it was. They lead the pipe right in the ground when they disconnected.

499
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:23,420
As you what does happen is we terminate it. If it's out in the street, I'd rather

500
00:41:23,420 --> 00:41:27,560
not terminate it. Break up the street to terminate it at the water main. So all we do

501
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:35,620
is we will put a fitting on it and terminate it back of curb. And if you have those addresses

502
00:41:35,620 --> 00:41:40,600
and you'd like to know, we could probably locate through our records, limited records,

503
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,060
What kind of pipe it is?

504
00:41:43,140 --> 00:41:43,940
Thank you.

505
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:51,520
I wonder if anyone is checking with the Great Lakes Water Authority

506
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,660
to see if they are putting phosphates in the water to stop the lead

507
00:41:56,660 --> 00:41:58,700
from leaching to the drinking water.

508
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,280
And don't forget to bring your old newspapers to the bins on

509
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,300
Cleophus behind the library.

510
00:42:05,300 --> 00:42:14,680
and April 29th is the beginning of the friend's book sale at the library and so it gets your

511
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:19,660
library update to give you all the details on the book sale coming up. Thank you.

512
00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:20,400
Thank

513
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:23,300
you, sir.

514
00:42:26,230 --> 00:42:32,130
Good evening, Mayor and Councilor Richard Kudrek. I keep talking about lawsuits, tax increases.

515
00:42:33,690 --> 00:42:37,870
The Honeywell lawsuit that nobody better to tell us about the righty special assessment

516
00:42:37,870 --> 00:42:44,230
district, $50,000 per motion of tax, charging me $25 just to process my property taxes.

517
00:42:44,970 --> 00:42:50,090
Get the Moors lawsuit for retiree pensions coming up, that'll be added to tax bills.

518
00:42:50,870 --> 00:42:54,850
We got the lawsuit for retiree, health care, lawsuit, that'll be added to tax bills.

519
00:42:55,490 --> 00:43:00,030
We're going to vote on the head, we're going to vote on public safety, ballot proposals again.

520
00:43:00,650 --> 00:43:04,510
And the city is going to be getting lots of money and, of course, I'm worried what's

521
00:43:04,510 --> 00:43:05,570
the city going to do for residents.

522
00:43:06,270 --> 00:43:11,230
Having a massive problem of fixing the roads, I know you got a road improvement plan going

523
00:43:11,230 --> 00:43:13,130
now, but my road is down under this.

524
00:43:13,850 --> 00:43:17,130
I don't know why anybody voted for that $20 million road bond proposal.

525
00:43:17,730 --> 00:43:22,210
I know I did want you to raise my property taxes for 10 years if you're not going to fix

526
00:43:22,210 --> 00:43:22,810
my road.

527
00:43:23,330 --> 00:43:25,030
They didn't make a lot of sense to me.

528
00:43:25,930 --> 00:43:29,970
Well, when we're passing police and fire, we're not hiring any more police and fire

529
00:43:29,970 --> 00:43:34,210
so public safety is not being improved and I was going to say you're not

530
00:43:34,210 --> 00:43:39,210
increasing my property values that I got my notice of assessment. Hey my

531
00:43:39,210 --> 00:43:45,390
property value, my tax value, you want up $141. Lord and I said that was

532
00:43:45,390 --> 00:43:51,130
exciting and then I saw I was checking on the the pretty my agenda and I read

533
00:43:51,130 --> 00:43:55,850
about oh I'm going to have contractors, not employees, contractors running on

534
00:43:55,850 --> 00:44:01,150
the neighborhoods, taking pictures and taking measurements, and of course the only purpose

535
00:44:01,150 --> 00:44:06,710
of this is to raise property taxes, and I'm afraid to do something good for the residents

536
00:44:06,710 --> 00:44:11,150
with all of the sex to many of you folks that are trying to get, do the chair and I ask

537
00:44:11,150 --> 00:44:11,670
a question.

538
00:44:14,180 --> 00:44:17,580
The last meeting, this has nothing to do with the fire department by the way, this has to

539
00:44:17,580 --> 00:44:18,380
do with city council.

540
00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:23,320
The last meeting, the fire chief mentioning the two captains who were going for training,

541
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:33,060
$6,000, they got a grant for $3,000, and I was going through past the genders and I couldn't find any

542
00:44:33,060 --> 00:44:39,020
counsel approval for this $3,000. So I sent an email to the city manager and they were asking

543
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:45,500
what did this approval come from and how we got no response, I'll ask in public. Why does the

544
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:50,400
council have to approve and get the account number for training for the police department but

545
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,060
It doesn't have to do that for a federal department, and that's not a negative question.

546
00:44:54,180 --> 00:44:56,220
That's a statement of understanding question.

547
00:44:57,420 --> 00:44:59,960
Why do you not have to approve training?

548
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,000
For the fire department, when you do that for the police. Good question. What's good for one is good for all.

549
00:45:08,540 --> 00:45:21,940
I have to look into it, sir. I can't give the answer right now. Okay. Well, I said I did try to do this privately, but if you don't respite in my email, I'll ask you in private in public, rather so about three or four days after the last meeting.

550
00:45:21,940 --> 00:45:23,100
Thank you.

551
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:25,580
Okay, good night, please.

552
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,760
You responded.

553
00:45:37,060 --> 00:45:38,320
Oh, all right.

554
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,560
There were Council for Direfits.

555
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:44,600
One thing I did when I was saying,

556
00:45:46,060 --> 00:45:48,260
I wanted all of those other residents

557
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,520
to stay there.

558
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,740
today, getting some exercise and acting all through the way around the park.

559
00:45:56,460 --> 00:46:00,880
I was presently surprised at the good job that the city did a keeping the restrooms clean.

560
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:06,060
I would urge the citizens when you patronize parks to do the same thing.

561
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,480
I really know there was a lot of trash to be around the creek.

562
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:17,760
The city does put trash receptacles out, so residents please make use of those trash receptacles.

563
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,060
is the grass on the creek, as well as life and it's not a place for the trash.

564
00:46:23,820 --> 00:46:30,480
And speaking of things that are trash, last meeting I talked about my friend's house,

565
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,260
so it's 70 white street, whatever they go.

566
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:41,420
And I noticed that even though the trees aren't bloom as big as the base of those trees are,

567
00:46:42,020 --> 00:46:46,640
you've got a section between the street and the saddle up there, it's this big, but the

568
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:51,020
trees like this big, and you've got the root system growing up, pushing up the sidewalk

569
00:46:51,020 --> 00:46:51,580
to that.

570
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:56,980
I think regardless of whether or not the trees are still in good shape, they've got

571
00:46:56,980 --> 00:47:02,660
a lot of old branches on that are practically killing the trees.

572
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,240
And I think the field falls on, his trunk, or their trunk, around their house.

573
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,940
I think the trees should just basically be removed, because the stumps are too wide for that

574
00:47:12,940 --> 00:47:13,860
section of grass.

575
00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:21,440
It doesn't make sense to leave an inacquainted tree, you know, that fire, you know, down in there.

576
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:28,060
I've noticed that those portions of the street that are even raised up, the sidewalks are raised up.

577
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:35,120
Somebody went out there and I was trying to get a follow-up on it, hopefully they can get those trees down,

578
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:41,940
because it just doesn't make any bit of sense to have, you know, a section of grass that is right,

579
00:47:41,940 --> 00:47:46,580
but then you've got a tree twice as wide in there where it can push up the sidewalks.

580
00:47:46,660 --> 00:47:51,380
It wouldn't make any sense to replace or repair the sidewalks without first getting rid of the trees

581
00:47:51,380 --> 00:47:54,160
that are causing the problems with the sidewalk in the first place.

582
00:47:55,060 --> 00:48:02,240
And I think since people invest a lot of money in their houses and are here for the duration,

583
00:48:03,140 --> 00:48:05,580
I think, you know, that's something that should be looked into.

584
00:48:05,580 --> 00:48:11,840
and we know it's kind of, you know, only fair to the residents who are paying their taxes

585
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,140
and being good citizens and keeping your hearts up.

586
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,280
So, thank you.

587
00:48:27,340 --> 00:48:28,680
Good evening, my name is Tom Parkinson.

588
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:36,120
The coming out with the assessors to measure your lot and everything, that's all already

589
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:36,520
been done.

590
00:48:37,660 --> 00:48:41,140
I have friends up north that they hired outside contracts to do this.

591
00:48:41,580 --> 00:48:45,360
They double and triple taxes up north, and all is because the outside contracts don't

592
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:51,340
care. And as far as allowing them in your house, I won't allow anybody in my house. For sure,

593
00:48:51,340 --> 00:48:56,600
not our outside country is going to do things like that. Never know who you like. We've never, ever

594
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:01,240
before had assessors come inside your house. So why, why are they, really want to come in your house now?

595
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:06,900
They know. Well, it's listed on the thing. It's just, uh, it's just something about in your house.

596
00:49:09,370 --> 00:49:09,730
Out.

597
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:23,280
Yes, you're going to. They will not be entering any structures if you're not home. They will

598
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,540
No, there's no plan for them to go inside of the homes.

599
00:49:29,620 --> 00:49:29,820
Okay.

600
00:49:30,140 --> 00:49:33,460
Did anybody, when they were looking at all the bridges over the creek?

601
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,420
Did anybody ever inspect the Victoria Street Bridge?

602
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,040
I don't think anybody knows it's there anymore, but it's a bridge that the city is supposed to maintain.

603
00:49:43,060 --> 00:49:44,680
Does anybody, John?

604
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:48,680
The Victoria Street Bridge? Through the chair?

605
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:09,480
I just thought about the other day and I think I saw the handrails behind that thing's

606
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:10,060
still sticking up.

607
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:11,440
So there is a bridge here.

608
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,800
My hand used to live just two dollars down from that before that they tore everything

609
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,700
up there on Victoria Street.

610
00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:17,340
I

611
00:50:22,270 --> 00:50:25,410
think they don't go over that long time ago, but I don't know if you got a bit of

612
00:50:25,410 --> 00:50:30,570
marshal to Victoria and make a laugh and you'll go up to the end and there's a bridge

613
00:50:30,570 --> 00:50:30,710
there.

614
00:50:32,950 --> 00:50:35,730
I just thought about it the other day to wonder if you're going through all those bridges.

615
00:50:36,610 --> 00:50:38,690
You might want to see if that's the two of you in any way.

616
00:50:40,450 --> 00:50:41,090
Thank you.

617
00:50:49,870 --> 00:50:53,070
And we'll move on to our report on Council on Mayra.

618
00:50:53,930 --> 00:50:54,830
Council President Murphy.

619
00:50:55,530 --> 00:50:55,970
Thank you, Art.

620
00:50:56,810 --> 00:50:59,970
I've got a number of things I need to talk to you about tonight.

621
00:50:59,970 --> 00:51:07,870
First of all, instead of something good, Cliff Eberts, one of our council audience people

622
00:51:07,870 --> 00:51:12,710
that come up here every week, he's got a birthday tomorrow, so Cliff, I want to wish you a happy birthday.

623
00:51:12,990 --> 00:51:13,970
Thanks for coming down again.

624
00:51:15,390 --> 00:51:19,790
Also want to let you know that I've been meeting with Paul Clementi, our state representative.

625
00:51:20,230 --> 00:51:25,650
Many of you may or may not realize that you're going to be getting an insurance increase

626
00:51:25,650 --> 00:51:32,950
for your other insurance and it's because the wise people in the state have

627
00:51:32,950 --> 00:51:38,870
decided that you're not paying enough money for the fund, the catastrophic

628
00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:47,290
fund that they charge you for. That fund is drawing in excess of 184 million

629
00:51:47,290 --> 00:51:52,750
dollars in interest every year because it's not really being used to any great

630
00:51:52,750 --> 00:51:59,070
except, but your insurance is going up because they have calculated in their own minds that

631
00:51:59,630 --> 00:52:04,230
you're not paying enough and that somewhere down the line you're going to have to, they're

632
00:52:04,230 --> 00:52:09,430
going to have to be paying out more money. So even though we're not using even the interest

633
00:52:09,810 --> 00:52:15,590
on the money for that cash drive fund, you're going to be getting an auto insurance increase.

634
00:52:15,590 --> 00:52:21,710
You meet Paul Clomenius is looking at that. I asked him to look into it when I got my

635
00:52:21,710 --> 00:52:28,270
notice last week. But this kind of stuff is ridiculous. You know, the state seems to

636
00:52:28,270 --> 00:52:35,090
think that money grows on trees. And the fun that the have a raise in our insurance

637
00:52:35,090 --> 00:52:42,450
rates for money that they're not even using now is totally ridiculous. Paul was going

638
00:52:42,450 --> 00:52:45,470
I'll be here tonight, I ask them to come down and give us a little report on that.

639
00:52:46,210 --> 00:52:50,370
And he is looking into it and I'll get back with you and let you know what's happening

640
00:52:50,370 --> 00:52:53,510
on that because it just doesn't seem right to me.

641
00:52:54,770 --> 00:53:01,590
The other thing I asked a couple of minutes ago about the update for the foreclosure information.

642
00:53:02,790 --> 00:53:09,590
As you may or may not know at the end of March the Wayne County sends the city's aid notice

643
00:53:09,590 --> 00:53:13,530
of all the people who are in danger of having their homes

644
00:53:15,150 --> 00:53:16,090
foreclosed on.

645
00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:20,490
We have committed through the emergency manager

646
00:53:21,210 --> 00:53:25,290
to get that list and forward information

647
00:53:25,290 --> 00:53:28,510
to people on that list, different ways

648
00:53:28,510 --> 00:53:31,470
that they can be helped through different agencies

649
00:53:31,470 --> 00:53:32,190
and whatnot.

650
00:53:32,970 --> 00:53:37,550
I just trying to find out, manager, where are we on that?

651
00:53:37,550 --> 00:53:46,150
because that list should come to us about three weeks ago and our city treasurer had not

652
00:53:46,150 --> 00:53:50,670
received at that time, but I want to stay on top of this because we don't need more homes

653
00:53:50,670 --> 00:53:51,970
going into foreclosure only in part.

654
00:53:52,470 --> 00:53:54,070
Yeah, as of last week, we have received it.

655
00:53:54,390 --> 00:53:58,010
Okay, what do we need to do to get on somebody to make sure that we get that information?

656
00:53:58,170 --> 00:54:02,970
Because, you know, we're going to be doing the foreclosures right about in August.

657
00:54:02,970 --> 00:54:10,650
So we've got a very tiny window to get with our people that are in trouble and let them know what they can do to save themselves.

658
00:54:11,250 --> 00:54:22,250
And I want to make sure that we do as people that are representing everyone in Lincoln Park, I want to make sure that we do everything we can to keep those houses for being foreclosed.

659
00:54:22,250 --> 00:54:29,150
Not only is it harmful for the people who are losing their homes, but for the next door neighbor and neighbors on the block

660
00:54:29,150 --> 00:54:35,090
that have to live with those big orange stickers all over the homes that do go under.

661
00:54:35,650 --> 00:54:39,510
The property maintenance that isn't done because those homes are gone under.

662
00:54:40,030 --> 00:54:46,850
We need to do everything we can to help these people make sure that everything possible has been done

663
00:54:46,850 --> 00:54:48,490
to keep them from going in for closure.

664
00:54:48,490 --> 00:54:56,450
So if you could find out what we need to do, let's do it because, you know, we've had quite a few foreclosures and I can park.

665
00:54:56,590 --> 00:54:57,370
We don't need more.

666
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:08,220
The last thing that I have heard tonight is something that has, I received word from a state senator on this week.

667
00:55:08,220 --> 00:55:24,300
and it really kind of upset me because apparently the LGBT, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender

668
00:55:24,300 --> 00:55:32,540
group is coming together in the state of Michigan and they're trying to adopt some policies

669
00:55:32,540 --> 00:55:40,620
and regulations that are going to seriously affect every man, woman, and child in the state

670
00:55:40,620 --> 00:55:49,740
of Michigan. The state is having a hearing on May 10th in Lansing, regarding some changes

671
00:55:49,740 --> 00:55:57,520
in our schools. They're going to discuss whether or not these proposals at the LGBT have requested

672
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,100
that are going to be put in effect or not.

673
00:56:00,420 --> 00:56:09,360
Now, just to give you a little idea of what we're talking about here, the LGBT is apparently

674
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:16,800
recommending, as in a group, that the responsibility of determining a student's gender identity

675
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:25,800
rest with a student, 10, 12, 13, 14 years old, outside confirmation from medical, mental

676
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:32,900
health professionals or documentation of legal changes is not needed so you're

677
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:39,880
going to have a child determined that today he's little Johnny but tomorrow he's

678
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:44,120
going to be little Johnny he gets to make that decision while anybody else

679
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:50,640
saying anything about it and little Johnny today can go in your daughter's

680
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:57,760
bathroom tomorrow as little Jenny and share the bathroom with her. Little Johnny, who

681
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:03,780
is now a girl, can go into your child's, your little girl's showers.

682
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:07,520
This is something

683
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:12,560
that we cannot permit to happen in the state of Michigan. It's happened to other places.

684
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,600
If you want to make sure this does not happen in the city of Lincoln Park and in the state

685
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:23,280
Michigan, you need to get a whole of your state board and let them know that you're upset

686
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:23,860
about this.

687
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:31,040
You need to contact your local school boards and have those officials get on the horn

688
00:57:31,660 --> 00:57:34,920
and let it be known that this is not something that we want.

689
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:41,060
Now there are some other considerations that this group has put together about dealing with

690
00:57:41,060 --> 00:57:48,380
the feelings of transgender gay and bisexual people that seem to make somewhat sense

691
00:57:48,380 --> 00:57:48,840
anyway.

692
00:57:48,980 --> 00:57:54,720
But these kind of things here, when you're going to have kids deciding who they are and

693
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,700
nobody can say anything about it, you're going to have little Johnny deciding that if he

694
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:01,440
wants to go in the girls bathroom today, he's little Jenny.

695
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:08,340
If he wants to watch the little girl shower, he's little Jenny, we cannot let this happen.

696
00:58:09,620 --> 00:58:17,960
And there's a saying in the past that all that needs to happen to let evil occur is for

697
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,560
good men and women to do nothing.

698
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,680
We have got to stand up and do something.

699
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:28,260
So I urge you, contact your school board here in Lincoln Park, we are meeting tomorrow

700
00:58:28,260 --> 00:58:31,940
night in Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park Schools have a school board meeting.

701
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,460
Let your rep is, you know, turn them to their channel.

702
00:58:36,100 --> 00:58:38,680
Let them know that you're aware of this

703
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,860
and you don't want this happening in your city.

704
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,880
You don't want this happening in the state of Michigan.

705
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:47,780
And if you don't do anything, you deserve what you get.

706
00:58:48,700 --> 00:58:49,640
That's all I have, you all right?

707
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:51,800
Yes. Thank you, sir.

708
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:53,480
Councilman Kansas.

709
00:58:53,980 --> 00:58:55,260
I will pass. Thank you, Mayor.

710
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,360
Councilman Zone is not here.

711
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:13,820
You are, before you talk about John as a gardener, Alison Sweet, I give it to him to the

712
00:59:13,820 --> 00:59:14,060
same.

713
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,360
If we don't do nothing for those sweet,

714
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,880
still we'll serve it, all over the bed, you'll

715
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,600
say to me where we write to you.

716
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:33,720
This is something that we've done at least a couple of years since June and it's true.

717
00:59:34,540 --> 00:59:38,180
I think that Mr. Motu will soon watch it coming up.

718
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:45,100
Some of the ways are how you got to put some money to put out a blue suit during it,

719
00:59:45,140 --> 00:59:48,660
because the DPS there used to do it.

720
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,300
There used to have a machine too.

721
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:51,800
There used to have any guys.

722
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:59,800
back to the machine as I know it happened and then they never done. I think if you can find the money.

723
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:58,660
I'm a million, million dollar to spend a year, status on one, but on one, they still get it bad. Which, you understand the matter? You say, quote, 406 is a less than a million dollar, no matter, no matter. And then we've got to use, uh, maybe a million dollar a pebble. Still, we've got a million and a half, a lot for it. What's the purification of those money and make it sick?

724
01:01:28,700 --> 01:01:32,460
to have passed it to say was a mistake. That's a little heavy.

725
01:01:36,340 --> 01:01:39,820
Councilman Kelsey. Did you want to ask Mr.

726
01:01:39,900 --> 01:01:41,800
Zeldt councilman? No, he was. Okay, no.

727
01:01:41,900 --> 01:01:44,960
Just deferred. Just deferred.

728
01:01:45,620 --> 01:01:47,600
Thank you. Who's a soup?

729
01:01:50,940 --> 01:01:52,540
Unfortunately, I got quite a few things

730
01:01:52,540 --> 01:01:53,900
and I'll try and make him brief.

731
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,040
I had a question

732
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,300
underneath the mayor's remarks, but I waited till now,

733
01:01:59,300 --> 01:02:02,980
Because the question I had is for the city manager is on the assessing of the houses.

734
01:02:03,500 --> 01:02:04,300
What is the purpose?

735
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:05,780
It never said what the purpose was before.

736
01:02:05,940 --> 01:02:08,960
I'm assuming what the purpose, but assuming it's not a good word to use.

737
01:02:09,580 --> 01:02:10,860
So why are we doing this now?

738
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,140
We use every 10 years, every 5 years, every 1 year.

739
01:02:13,140 --> 01:02:14,460
The state requires it.

740
01:02:14,580 --> 01:02:14,940
Okay.

741
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:16,060
I think it's every 5 years.

742
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:17,940
You have to do a review.

743
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,640
I think if I have to think, I think they're spreading the syndrome up and doing a section

744
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:22,060
each year.

745
01:02:22,340 --> 01:02:22,540
Okay.

746
01:02:22,700 --> 01:02:23,240
I would just curious.

747
01:02:23,460 --> 01:02:24,140
I just didn't say.

748
01:02:24,380 --> 01:02:24,600
Yeah.

749
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:25,040
Go ahead.

750
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:33,300
which this is amazing to the church. Before we come in the book, by four four years ago, the

751
01:02:33,300 --> 01:02:39,840
government gave it to us and the people who chose him in the park, and they were going

752
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:46,520
to have a blueprint, and all of us had taken some people, and now we got to do again. The

753
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,700
government did it by far, because it is a book.

754
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,700
It was a book, a book, a book, a book, a book,

755
01:02:53,700 --> 01:02:57,360
Well, once a week with the report, what are they not going to see?

756
01:02:57,860 --> 01:02:58,420
Why is this?

757
01:02:58,820 --> 01:03:02,420
Now, you look at SKJ all the time.

758
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,040
Well, he's in charge of this.

759
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:05,000
He's a high contractor.

760
01:03:05,380 --> 01:03:06,220
So what's going on?

761
01:03:06,220 --> 01:03:08,520
He comes in agronon or the city manager answered.

762
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:09,360
Well, I think he has.

763
01:03:09,540 --> 01:03:11,340
So I can verify that tomorrow.

764
01:03:12,340 --> 01:03:13,760
Let's send him back to the other way.

765
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:22,520
A couple other questions I got is that we have a business here at Metro PCS

766
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:28,800
BCS business over there on Ford Street, that we'll have to ask the city attorney, I'm

767
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,860
assuming because I asked that to write a letter and we've had the police department

768
01:03:31,860 --> 01:03:32,300
over there.

769
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,900
I don't know how many times given them tickets.

770
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:41,380
So you know, it's kind of hard to build a relationship with the business when the business

771
01:03:41,380 --> 01:03:45,800
fronts itself off to the city and we spend, because I'm going to mind time on this issue.

772
01:03:46,260 --> 01:03:52,700
In this, and finally, I just got to email from the billion departments as they actually

773
01:03:52,700 --> 01:03:55,500
removed the illegal sign they had up there for four or five months.

774
01:03:56,660 --> 01:04:00,420
So I don't know if we're having a problem with enforcement because this thing was a long

775
01:04:00,420 --> 01:04:04,560
and well process, but I'd like to have a discussion of later things.

776
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,580
What is our process for these problem people?

777
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,720
And there's more here I'm going to get into, but that's one of them, okay.

778
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:15,480
because, you know, I think it's very ridiculous as a city to send an ordinance officer every

779
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:19,080
time you turn around on the weekend because they violate and they give them a ticket and

780
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:23,120
they go for 30 days in front of the judge and guy knows what happens or doesn't, it's

781
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,320
not my preview, but it's only ridiculous for the city when somebody fonts the rules that

782
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:28,120
we put in place.

783
01:04:30,050 --> 01:04:36,590
The other issue I got is that there's a house that's been on cross from the Catholic Church

784
01:04:36,590 --> 01:04:41,130
number bank that was bought by the resident from HUD three years ago in the

785
01:04:41,130 --> 01:04:45,270
garage has been collapsed and it's still collapsing okay now I understand we

786
01:04:45,270 --> 01:04:48,970
going through a lot with the issue of the well-organization and blah blah blah

787
01:04:48,970 --> 01:04:52,410
we need to find a better system for that dangerous building board I don't know

788
01:04:52,410 --> 01:04:56,250
what it is but we need to talk about the process for that because this has been

789
01:04:56,250 --> 01:05:00,270
three years this house I mean the person I talked to at the polling place was

790
01:05:00,270 --> 01:05:03,410
there when he left or again left when he voted these would have been our

791
01:05:03,410 --> 01:05:06,830
Again, again, as you can ask me to say, three years later, what's going on with the house?

792
01:05:07,410 --> 01:05:12,850
I understand that, but the trouble is, nothing happens, that's my point.

793
01:05:13,290 --> 01:05:15,630
And there should be a penalty, which I think they're supposed to be.

794
01:05:16,430 --> 01:05:18,710
Why does that not be an elevated to the proper process?

795
01:05:19,850 --> 01:05:24,350
The other issue, there's a house next to Hoover School that was a rental,

796
01:05:24,630 --> 01:05:27,850
or a house that went in the foreclosure, whatever I call it.

797
01:05:27,850 --> 01:05:33,930
The garage between here still has the plastic turf over the garage.

798
01:05:34,390 --> 01:05:36,210
You can see from the Hoover School parking lot.

799
01:05:36,530 --> 01:05:39,570
I think we're playing in the Bob Dances July of last year.

800
01:05:40,170 --> 01:05:41,450
I mean, what am I missing here?

801
01:05:42,670 --> 01:05:43,070
It's all right.

802
01:05:43,650 --> 01:05:43,830
Okay.

803
01:05:43,910 --> 01:05:48,310
Now, I don't know if I didn't do that or somebody who didn't do it that follows the rules.

804
01:05:48,770 --> 01:05:51,490
We've been following the judge or be a happy fine for us, okay?

805
01:05:52,770 --> 01:05:54,810
The other issue I got is that there's a high to hit.

806
01:05:54,810 --> 01:05:55,830
I'm going to give you a picture of this.

807
01:05:55,830 --> 01:06:00,770
There's a hydroponics pass I wanted to counsel would you there's a hydroponics store down there

808
01:06:00,770 --> 01:06:03,350
You don't want to talk about something? Well, I went by there today

809
01:06:03,350 --> 01:06:07,370
It was out again, and this is on the weekend. This was taken. They put it out again today

810
01:06:07,370 --> 01:06:10,310
And the high little family took it off the front because it's getting close in time

811
01:06:10,310 --> 01:06:15,190
It went down the street to put it in the back. Why don't you want a main drag? You can't miss it

812
01:06:15,190 --> 01:06:21,090
Excuse me. We were framed from personal conversations. We will keep that room of the meeting

813
01:06:21,090 --> 01:06:24,210
It says it's something where you can just speak out when you choose to

814
01:06:26,270 --> 01:06:31,430
There's a for the council take a look at the question I got also was the fact that

815
01:06:31,950 --> 01:06:36,630
We have a problem with the fact that we're asking the residents to file the rules and

816
01:06:37,530 --> 01:06:41,330
It might be me maybe I get involved in too much like some of the other council people

817
01:06:41,330 --> 01:06:46,590
But I've got three or four that just seem to be a high process or enough to crack for some reason I don't understand the process

818
01:06:47,390 --> 01:06:51,150
And I've talked to the city manager, and I know I've talked to him and he's talked to

819
01:06:51,150 --> 01:06:57,770
court and then court has the ability or inability to contact or communicate with the

820
01:06:57,770 --> 01:07:02,490
county or a council person me okay and I had that talked to Matt about that. I don't

821
01:07:02,490 --> 01:07:06,930
think that's appropriate. We can't even sell it last time I checked even though there's

822
01:07:06,930 --> 01:07:14,260
a contractor. You know I go down there for legitimate, I would expect an email, I don't

823
01:07:14,260 --> 01:07:22,880
that. I got a problem with that. The other issue is that there was a person and

824
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,680
here's the other email because I have a, I love paperwork just like everybody else

825
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:31,320
does. Oh come on. Pass this on to the mayor and the city manager would you please?

826
01:07:31,700 --> 01:07:35,720
Yes sir. There's a person. Thank you councilman. There's a person that emailed me and I

827
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:39,260
talked to man about this on a day. He'll be back and I still waiting for an answer on

828
01:07:39,260 --> 01:07:41,900
that. And man had told me a week ago that he'd take care of that.

829
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:48,660
The other issue

830
01:07:48,660 --> 01:07:56,460
was is that we have the, I think that Mr. Kutrek was asking about last council meeting

831
01:07:56,460 --> 01:08:01,600
about lawsuits. I happen to go down to the Judge Drain's office when they have the

832
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,680
lawsuit for the health care, and I can let him know in everybody else. The motions were

833
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:10,300
read and the judge put a hold on it until he makes a decision on emotions. So that's where

834
01:08:10,300 --> 01:08:14,680
that health care lawsuit is for the retirees against the city and the pension board and

835
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,200
and et cetera, et cetera, okay?

836
01:08:16,620 --> 01:08:22,240
By the way, the emergency manager order number 60 requires the city to discuss those

837
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:26,320
when their clothes are in an open, and they discuss them in open so that the residents

838
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:27,940
are aware of what happened to these lawsuits.

839
01:08:28,740 --> 01:08:32,400
And I think that's highlighted, but it's in louder 60, you can't miss it.

840
01:08:33,420 --> 01:08:38,140
The other thing is it's a road street, I think, could put up last week, talking about a

841
01:08:38,140 --> 01:08:38,600
white street.

842
01:08:39,700 --> 01:08:43,100
I went over there, and I took about kind of you can pass this to the council.

843
01:08:43,100 --> 01:08:47,140
All kinds of pictures of white street and I went and talked to the lady at white street.

844
01:08:47,580 --> 01:08:49,080
She was surprised I was there, Cliff.

845
01:08:50,340 --> 01:08:52,020
So I talked to her and I explained why I was there.

846
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:53,120
She said, oh yeah, I'm not Cliff.

847
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:53,820
We talked to them.

848
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,700
I'm supposed to talk to you, I said, well, so I took pictures of the trains.

849
01:08:58,340 --> 01:09:03,760
I talked to John, well, John, John went over there and talked to the owner of the house.

850
01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:08,500
But to answer your question, I looked around the house because I didn't have, you know,

851
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:09,360
I went there physically.

852
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:14,460
It's on a brand new cement around there. What the person was complaining about is white street back on Fort Street

853
01:09:14,460 --> 01:09:18,980
Well white street runs into Fort Street, which is in those pictures, a lot of panels weren't fixed

854
01:09:18,980 --> 01:09:23,620
So I'm thinking it's in front of the person's house. I'm working on it. I won't take I can't find nothing

855
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:31,880
Well, I've got those are two I talked to but I'm just saying I would appreciate and this is just one that if you give

856
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:37,600
If afterwards give us a phone number or a second car or a lady or call the person because that's all I'm saying

857
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,680
I'm sorry again. It's not you councilman. This isn't a free. I'm sorry.

858
01:09:45,010 --> 01:09:47,330
I guess on a different note the

859
01:09:48,450 --> 01:09:54,110
museum has spaghetti fundraisers at the moose lodge and I guess I don't know how many people came but

860
01:09:54,110 --> 01:09:58,810
it was nice because they're trying to raise money for the clock so if anybody they have any more fundraisers

861
01:09:58,810 --> 01:10:02,950
I think maybe we can help support that particular issue because they're trying to raise money for the

862
01:10:02,950 --> 01:10:06,970
clock and from the museum that they paid up front for to fix it and they're trying to get the

863
01:10:06,970 --> 01:10:13,450
money back. So, and there will be a fund, there will be really cloud is having a

864
01:10:13,450 --> 01:10:20,030
fund night at the cafeteria Lincoln Park on the 28th of April from 6 to 8 p.m.

865
01:10:20,630 --> 01:10:23,630
and if anybody can make it's a fun night for the kids they've got all kinds of

866
01:10:23,630 --> 01:10:28,330
groups there the police departments there the canines there the neighborhood watch

867
01:10:28,330 --> 01:10:32,350
a lot of the ROTC a lot of the groups are there it's nice for the kids and the

868
01:10:32,350 --> 01:10:36,150
family to have a good time and enjoy it at the thing so if anybody can come there

869
01:10:36,150 --> 01:10:36,790
It's very nice.

870
01:10:37,430 --> 01:10:39,230
I thought that man, I'm pretty well done.

871
01:10:39,370 --> 01:10:40,330
Thank you for the time, y'all.

872
01:10:41,630 --> 01:10:42,710
College of Endur Jenski.

873
01:10:43,590 --> 01:10:44,150
Thank you, Mayor.

874
01:10:45,470 --> 01:10:49,050
Let me see if I can tack Larry up the number of things

875
01:10:49,050 --> 01:10:49,950
I need to talk about.

876
01:10:50,990 --> 01:10:52,350
You want me to step to DDA meeting.

877
01:10:53,310 --> 01:10:55,710
And my apologies to DDA board.

878
01:10:56,010 --> 01:10:57,370
I think I'll have to miss in May.

879
01:10:57,690 --> 01:10:58,650
Hopefully I can make it.

880
01:10:58,670 --> 01:11:02,530
There's just still only 24 hours in one day, which

881
01:11:02,530 --> 01:11:04,590
someone would manufacture me a 30-hour day.

882
01:11:07,610 --> 01:11:15,870
Okay, all the way back to Sears, Slash Grand Sockwa, Slash Dicks and Southfield and Costco

883
01:11:15,870 --> 01:11:16,730
and everything.

884
01:11:17,050 --> 01:11:21,890
I gave two updates on this, I'm happy to, I went to my notes, made sure I was right.

885
01:11:24,430 --> 01:11:32,050
I actually talked to one, the real estate broker, the buyer, that buys properties and parcels

886
01:11:32,050 --> 01:11:42,570
for Costco back. I think three years ago? No. How many four years ago? Yes, there was four years ago,

887
01:11:42,690 --> 01:11:50,850
Pac-Rals administration. And he talked about the transitory nature of certain demographics of

888
01:11:50,850 --> 01:11:57,170
our neighborhoods, so forth, and so on, lots of economic stuff, so forth, and so on. Not enough money

889
01:11:57,170 --> 01:12:01,230
within that area for discretionary spending, so forth, and so on.

890
01:12:01,710 --> 01:12:02,230
That's all good.

891
01:12:03,290 --> 01:12:07,930
Although I mathematically told him that I've talked to people from Southwest all the way

892
01:12:07,930 --> 01:12:10,750
down the flat rock, and they're rich in for a casco.

893
01:12:12,750 --> 01:12:18,590
So it's not a decided issue at all, because you could probably get a smaller casco in there

894
01:12:18,590 --> 01:12:25,170
I have to do something with a DICS entrance there next to, um, is that Quampark?

895
01:12:26,110 --> 01:12:30,730
I'm a little off, so I'm a little off on target with that.

896
01:12:31,970 --> 01:12:37,580
It's been four years, has anybody checked the demographics and how they've changed

897
01:12:37,580 --> 01:12:39,420
in Lincoln Park? I sure have.

898
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:45,380
And what I see after talking with officials in the school system,

899
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:52,420
and with doing my own research is that the transitory component of our population is not

900
01:12:52,420 --> 01:12:56,560
so transitory anymore because we have a heck of a lot of Hispanic families that have

901
01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:04,240
moved in, put their kids in the school district, and we have now is kind of a solidifying demographic

902
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:04,920
in that area.

903
01:13:05,180 --> 01:13:11,680
So, just a fancy way of seeing that, that Costco is kind of a good fit for Lincoln Park.

904
01:13:12,500 --> 01:13:20,720
And also, as far as we in South Dakota put them to that parcel for sale, there's two parties involved on that corner there.

905
01:13:22,620 --> 01:13:27,880
So, I'm going to leave it right at that. There's two parties involved in the development or non-development of that corner.

906
01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:29,560
So, do your own research.

907
01:13:31,420 --> 01:13:34,180
So, and the other party is also a real estate company.

908
01:13:34,180 --> 01:13:38,160
me. Anybody that thinks that seers is some kind of retail store anymore, they're not

909
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:43,260
found on the news. So, do you research folks? There's a lot of information out there.

910
01:13:44,020 --> 01:13:47,300
You got to do more in Google search. You got to make some calls, but there's a lot of

911
01:13:47,300 --> 01:13:54,200
information out there. Thank you to a public printee and ASAP Signs. They've been very helpful

912
01:13:54,200 --> 01:14:01,420
in helping us get the proper promotional material for the time of a kind of book convention

913
01:14:01,420 --> 01:14:03,920
that is coming in July, more to come on that.

914
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,400
Things are rolling pretty nice right now to last month.

915
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:16,280
I'm point number three, if you.

916
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:20,380
Yeah, the Sears, the Sears Shopping Senator at Foreign Self

917
01:14:20,380 --> 01:14:23,580
Field, if you want to see that area revitalized,

918
01:14:23,900 --> 01:14:25,220
do you know how big an area that is?

919
01:14:25,380 --> 01:14:27,360
That's acres upon acres upon acres.

920
01:14:28,060 --> 01:14:28,860
So we have development.

921
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,140
You can put on $1,5 million in development there

922
01:14:31,140 --> 01:14:32,400
to pay on how high you want to go.

923
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:34,420
Get involved, people.

924
01:14:35,380 --> 01:14:35,840
Get involved.

925
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:37,020
Oh, yeah, right.

926
01:14:37,180 --> 01:14:38,900
It's matching the top of getting involved.

927
01:14:38,900 --> 01:14:45,960
So just to let you know, because you did it the last time, folks, there's a lot of

928
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,260
the stuff going on in the park and there's a lot more to come.

929
01:14:49,340 --> 01:14:53,860
But getting involved, the economic development corporation, they get less people at their

930
01:14:53,860 --> 01:14:57,840
meetings than the DDA, and the DDA gets three or four.

931
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,480
So...

932
01:15:00,480 --> 01:15:01,880
Because I can count them all.

933
01:15:04,850 --> 01:15:15,150
Developing that parcel, that's a big, big undertaking. It takes a lot of promotion, it takes a lot of planning, it takes a lot of hands. Get involved.

934
01:15:32,130 --> 01:15:35,850
want to be promoted and put out there. Please get involved. Please contact the

935
01:15:35,850 --> 01:15:42,810
Economic Development Corporation, go to our website. I, I, I, I just, it, it, it,

936
01:15:42,810 --> 01:15:47,450
my fellows meet to, to, to, to hear people talking about it, but talking and

937
01:15:47,450 --> 01:15:52,290
talking complaining is, is, is not the answer. Getting involved is the answer.

938
01:15:52,490 --> 01:16:00,030
There's a tagline for you. Okay. Speaking of getting involved. The next

939
01:16:00,030 --> 01:16:05,570
Next meeting through the Dumber Vertical Convention, we need 4 more volunteers so I can probably

940
01:16:05,570 --> 01:16:10,630
round out the number of adults that we need to handle the sensitive area and the ticket

941
01:16:10,630 --> 01:16:11,090
tables.

942
01:16:11,910 --> 01:16:19,510
Our next meeting we meet for planning is May 29th, 1.30 p.m., 4th Street Brewery, no RSVP

943
01:16:19,510 --> 01:16:21,430
required, although you can send me an email.

944
01:16:23,190 --> 01:16:28,670
And I would like 4 more adults to get involved, so we have enough people that, inside my

945
01:16:28,670 --> 01:16:33,350
own head, how many we need to to run that. And you know how this is shaping up to be a pretty

946
01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:38,470
good thing. There's only six bases left to run and then I'm going to start on a cancellation

947
01:16:38,470 --> 01:16:44,410
list after that. But we're looking at bringing it in. And for everybody that thinks that it's

948
01:16:44,410 --> 01:16:49,930
kind of okay, it's not. Kind of folks are very, very serious, kind of collectors are very serious.

949
01:16:50,910 --> 01:16:57,190
So I'd rather have 1,500, 2,000 kind of collectors coming into the city to want to

950
01:16:57,190 --> 01:17:01,590
or a convention that we're going to do as an annual regional event, right here in

951
01:17:01,590 --> 01:17:01,930
the city.

952
01:17:02,470 --> 01:17:07,410
So while we're putting together what it's starting to come together, and this is a partnership

953
01:17:07,890 --> 01:17:12,530
that I started with Terry Dangerfield in the school system, and he's been complete open

954
01:17:12,530 --> 01:17:17,410
hands and open arms on it, it's like, yep, let's do it, let's work on big projects and

955
01:17:17,410 --> 01:17:19,050
big events that benefit the city.

956
01:17:19,550 --> 01:17:25,190
So, and then after that we'll be a hands of the city general volunteer meeting, 2.30

957
01:17:25,190 --> 01:17:35,390
So in an hour after that, so given by our folks, there's good stuff going on and it's all about rebranding the city and so forth from Salon.

958
01:17:36,530 --> 01:17:36,870
Okay.

959
01:17:37,930 --> 01:17:42,210
Time how just so our residents know what I'm about to talk about.

960
01:17:42,430 --> 01:17:48,810
I did send an email, a advance to the mayor and other members of council and to the city manager.

961
01:17:50,270 --> 01:17:56,310
The three months that I've spent talking about the pension fund portfolio from an opinion

962
01:17:56,310 --> 01:18:01,010
point of view and analysis point of view, since there is no direct authority that Mayor

963
01:18:01,010 --> 01:18:07,290
and Council have regarding a police and fire retirement review board and that's a good

964
01:18:07,290 --> 01:18:08,210
thing to have it like that.

965
01:18:09,450 --> 01:18:15,410
So all my comments and any work I do on this, I do from an analysis point of view and opinion

966
01:18:15,410 --> 01:18:16,070
point of view.

967
01:18:16,070 --> 01:18:22,130
I'm not demanding that that that the board do anything just offering analysis and opinion

968
01:18:22,130 --> 01:18:25,230
and I say that six or seven times just to make sure we're all clear.

969
01:18:25,710 --> 01:18:31,630
Today I'm going to everybody please get out of pencil and of course I'll be splattering

970
01:18:31,630 --> 01:18:32,650
this all over the place.

971
01:18:33,310 --> 01:18:44,170
I'm going to host a time, hard workshop, Wednesday, July 27th, 6pm, VFW post 552, that's

972
01:18:44,170 --> 01:18:47,990
11th, 25th, 4th Street, corner of Fort and Monty.

973
01:18:48,650 --> 01:18:52,150
I'm hosting this workshop for you to residents.

974
01:18:52,990 --> 01:18:55,630
Everybody complains about the state of the pension funds.

975
01:18:56,450 --> 01:18:57,790
Everybody knows about it.

976
01:18:58,110 --> 01:18:59,710
Everybody greaves and everything.

977
01:19:00,430 --> 01:19:01,890
That doesn't cut it anymore.

978
01:19:02,330 --> 01:19:08,390
I cannot be more serious when I say that getting a handle on properly protecting and investing

979
01:19:08,390 --> 01:19:09,510
to pension funds.

980
01:19:09,510 --> 01:19:15,930
It might be even at some point, again, from an analysis point of view, repatriating the

981
01:19:15,930 --> 01:19:19,430
most component back in, so we have a larger pot to work with.

982
01:19:20,570 --> 01:19:26,230
I know that frees up a lot of money, if invested properly, and it starts sustaining itself,

983
01:19:26,390 --> 01:19:32,230
we hit that 60 percent, so forth and so on, I know that frees up a lot of money from the

984
01:19:32,230 --> 01:19:37,010
general fund for the other things that people say they want so much, more police, you know,

985
01:19:37,010 --> 01:19:44,930
3-4 million dollars a year for roads. This is a very, very big problem and it needs a very, very, very cohesive and concise solution.

986
01:19:45,610 --> 01:19:53,090
So be part of it. I'm putting on this workshop for you, the residents. It's going to be a very specific workshop.

987
01:19:53,950 --> 01:20:01,010
And the most specific thing we're going to start off with is that I'm planning on 150 people showing up at the VFW.

988
01:20:01,530 --> 01:20:07,530
So please you have three months go to the go to the review board meetings that's

989
01:20:07,530 --> 01:20:11,730
how quick in the morning I know that's hard go to them start doing your own

990
01:20:11,730 --> 01:20:17,690
research start doing your own analysis when you show up at the VFW I want to see

991
01:20:17,690 --> 01:20:24,870
ideas concrete comprehensive cohesive ideas home down ready to go and each table

992
01:20:24,870 --> 01:20:28,870
there's gonna be pens and paper and clipboards you're gonna be combining your

993
01:20:28,870 --> 01:20:35,870
ideas. It's only get to the schedule. The very least I can do is feed all of you. So when

994
01:20:35,870 --> 01:20:45,510
pizza, pop, chips, cheesy bread, it's on me. So if you got a family and hopefully you know

995
01:20:45,510 --> 01:20:49,510
one of you stay home with the kids, you get a one of you come. It's three of them people

996
01:20:49,510 --> 01:20:54,010
show up while they're more happy, a little bit hungry. I just 150 people, that's what I'm buying

997
01:20:54,010 --> 01:21:01,550
pizza for. So we need to have six at six thirty to seven thirty. I'm going to give a historical

998
01:21:01,550 --> 01:21:10,230
and economic presentation specifically geared towards how we got to this point. And when

999
01:21:10,230 --> 01:21:16,690
I say to this point, and how we, I mean, we America got to this point, okay. Lincoln Park

1000
01:21:16,690 --> 01:21:22,150
does not operate in some kind of economic void. It's a very, it's a very smart economic system,

1001
01:21:22,150 --> 01:21:26,450
But it's but the pension funds and everything within the city operates within an entire world

1002
01:21:26,450 --> 01:21:29,430
So I'm going to put together a very specific

1003
01:21:30,470 --> 01:21:33,750
Economic and historical presentation is that how we got to his point

1004
01:21:34,410 --> 01:21:38,670
And this is the idea on my website too, by the way in the interest of full disclosure

1005
01:21:39,490 --> 01:21:41,130
So please come up your ideas

1006
01:21:41,590 --> 01:21:47,590
And how we go about resolving this this problem no ideas are going to be looked over. This is for you the residents

1007
01:21:47,590 --> 01:21:49,610
They just cannot stress this amount enough

1008
01:21:50,150 --> 01:21:56,870
from 7.30 to 8.15 or 8.30 you will talk amongst yourselves at the tables and you will

1009
01:21:56,870 --> 01:22:02,070
home down your ideas into comprehensive lists and then from 8.15 or 8.30 to 9.00

1010
01:22:02,550 --> 01:22:07,110
you're gonna provide that together in a plan and then you are going to work that

1011
01:22:07,110 --> 01:22:11,550
plan. Again, there's always so much I can do as a council person. I'm going to

1012
01:22:11,550 --> 01:22:20,470
this time hard workshop for you. So please, Wednesday July 27th, 6 p.m. VFW, pizza's on me.

1013
01:22:21,310 --> 01:22:25,730
Please show up. You want to solve this problem? You want to see it sign up? Get involved.

1014
01:22:27,330 --> 01:22:32,470
This right here is, is I must the entire parking? Get me not hanging on the pension funds.

1015
01:22:33,030 --> 01:22:36,050
The reason I'm going this route is because for three months there's been no

1016
01:22:36,050 --> 01:22:39,930
communication back to me. So that is what it is. I said it once. I won't say it again.

1017
01:22:40,770 --> 01:22:45,490
I am what will not happen. This is a workshop. And I do mean a workshop. I'm going to work

1018
01:22:45,490 --> 01:22:51,550
your heart. There's going to be no Q&A session. If you're coming to complain, don't

1019
01:22:51,550 --> 01:22:56,350
bother. Let me say this again. If you're coming to complain, don't bother. It's not going

1020
01:22:56,350 --> 01:23:01,490
to be a complaint session. This is a workshop. There will be no complaints. There's also

1021
01:23:01,490 --> 01:23:07,850
no comment section. Not even for myself. Not even for anybody else. Presentation. You'll

1022
01:23:07,850 --> 01:23:11,070
break down into your groups at the tables and then we combine it all together.

1023
01:23:11,490 --> 01:23:16,910
A very specific workshop. Come prepared to eat, come prepared to work. And I will do

1024
01:23:16,910 --> 01:23:20,450
a very best to promote this as much as I can. I hope I've said enough of it,

1025
01:23:20,570 --> 01:23:22,350
so that everybody's taken notes on it.

1026
01:23:26,050 --> 01:23:28,590
Forged street and out of drive. Hey, the

1027
01:23:28,590 --> 01:23:35,250
palace convened store and the new aisle, aisle and repair shop there. Hey,

1028
01:23:35,370 --> 01:23:39,210
white's not my color but it's not about what makes me happy. That corner is

1029
01:23:39,210 --> 01:23:40,470
is simply right now.

1030
01:23:40,650 --> 01:23:47,410
It's cleaned up that former $0.99 store that is now the repair shop.

1031
01:23:47,670 --> 01:23:49,830
There's a brand new fence on the front that's all been,

1032
01:23:49,830 --> 01:23:52,630
it's all been black topped over because that was

1033
01:23:52,630 --> 01:23:53,810
this nasty back there.

1034
01:23:55,070 --> 01:23:56,490
That's, it's smoking good.

1035
01:23:57,650 --> 01:24:00,690
And I know the business owners that own the palace

1036
01:24:01,350 --> 01:24:03,750
and a lot of money, a lot of time went into that

1037
01:24:04,830 --> 01:24:06,510
and look, looks good.

1038
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,400
Yeah, DBA, go to the meetings, second, Thursday,

1039
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,900
of every month, five PM.

1040
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:19,960
They meet right here in the council chambers.

1041
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,900
The Dorsey building has been demoed.

1042
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:25,440
That's right next to the park restaurant.

1043
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:27,100
If you don't know what a Dorsey is,

1044
01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:28,720
that's at Arlington, Ford Street.

1045
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:32,660
But there's a plan in place.

1046
01:24:32,940 --> 01:24:35,700
A plan that's being developed to turn it into a common area.

1047
01:24:36,460 --> 01:24:37,600
Please be informed of that.

1048
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,240
This is one of the biggest things that the DBA has done.

1049
01:24:41,300 --> 01:24:44,960
please get involved in that please come to the meetings please please

1050
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:49,780
offer suggestions please help to DDA it's a very large project this is going to

1051
01:24:49,780 --> 01:24:55,380
give us a common area in the downtown area and it shows how it's better than

1052
01:24:55,380 --> 01:24:57,560
a big old empty space.

1053
01:24:59,860 --> 01:25:03,960
Can you go to our study session I'll just get on board if this right now so

1054
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:08,320
everybody knows where I stand. If we have some kind of seminar for more

1055
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:13,860
information, I'm grateful for that. If we put out this information, I like the city manager

1056
01:25:13,860 --> 01:25:18,300
recommends all this information out there regarding the water and sewer line protection program,

1057
01:25:18,740 --> 01:25:25,540
that's great. I'm completely on board with going all the way in a city, getting involved in

1058
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:32,000
the partnership with this and being willing to municipality is willing to help you that, that is

1059
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:39,840
directly involved. For $14, $15 a month, it's pretty darn good coverage, so that's why

1060
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:40,480
I stand on there.

1061
01:25:42,660 --> 01:25:47,180
And, oh, yeah, the clay content in the soil. I'm not a geologist either,

1062
01:25:47,340 --> 01:25:52,040
but I do know what our clay content is like here in South-Eastor, Michigan. West-East

1063
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:56,060
side of the state, you don't have a lot of clay clay content. South-Eastor, Michigan,

1064
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:01,340
we have a lot more clay, just a facture drainage, a facture runoff, and what it really affects

1065
01:26:01,340 --> 01:26:04,140
is the type of building materials that you should use.

1066
01:26:04,420 --> 01:26:07,820
You have to use building materials that allow for elasticity

1067
01:26:08,500 --> 01:26:11,480
so that you get the product, so that they can handle the heaving

1068
01:26:11,480 --> 01:26:13,400
and the shrinking and the freezing and the fine

1069
01:26:14,100 --> 01:26:17,020
of brutal Michigan runners and then the hot summers.

1070
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:19,340
That's the way it is when you have four seasons.

1071
01:26:20,060 --> 01:26:22,860
We have a lot of clay content in our soil on the side of Michigan

1072
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:25,060
and on Lincoln Park.

1073
01:26:25,620 --> 01:26:27,520
And if you actually, like I said before,

1074
01:26:27,860 --> 01:26:29,440
some of the times now will go last five years,

1075
01:26:29,440 --> 01:26:48,920
You just drive this arc that starts right along Riverview and arcs up towards Pontiac and we just happen to sit on top of a big vein of quite it's the way it is and it's one of the reasons why the roads get busted up so easy sometimes and it's a reality geology, geology.

1076
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:57,540
So, so, proper materials, proper aggregates, so that's on, so that's your roads, he's up and down.

1077
01:26:59,260 --> 01:27:00,600
Okay, I'm done there.

1078
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:01,720
Ah, can barely talk.

1079
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:02,720
How's it going?

1080
01:27:03,140 --> 01:27:04,620
Hold it for my comments the next time.

1081
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:04,960
Thank you.

1082
01:27:07,270 --> 01:27:07,610
Already?

1083
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:19,960
First and foremost, information on lawsuits you get in the public is quickly as I receive them.

1084
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,100
to what I can receive and what I can update.

1085
01:27:23,740 --> 01:27:26,160
And we do that through the course of the council meeting.

1086
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:30,680
There is another way that you can obtain information that's up to date.

1087
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,500
It's called the Freedom Information Request.

1088
01:27:34,460 --> 01:27:36,260
I did miss an email.

1089
01:27:36,460 --> 01:27:38,080
I did miss them from time to time.

1090
01:27:38,260 --> 01:27:39,760
I apologize for that.

1091
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:45,920
But anonymous emails requesting updates, I don't really have faith to.

1092
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,000
I will respond for some general information.

1093
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:53,600
But if they want information on cases, go for the free of information.

1094
01:27:53,940 --> 01:27:58,200
That's the way to get that, and that's the proper channels in which that is to be released.

1095
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:03,020
There's an opening weekend for Little League this week.

1096
01:28:03,780 --> 01:28:08,100
I think Little League South, their program begins at about nine o'clock in the morning.

1097
01:28:08,620 --> 01:28:17,880
They have a little get together at car school, and then they go down to the ball field where there is a first-pissed ceremony.

1098
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:27,100
and I think that the family of part commissioner Carter will be throwing out the first pitch there.

1099
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:31,520
So if you're interested and you want to see a bunch of smiling kids down there, go down there.

1100
01:28:32,260 --> 01:28:37,900
And also on the same day for Little League North, which is over Kwant Park area,

1101
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:43,000
I think right around noon they're going to have a presentation of first pitch and

1102
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:47,080
and Evona Varga is going to be there at that particular time.

1103
01:28:49,020 --> 01:28:56,380
One of our council members mentioned upcoming, not litigation, but legislation that's being

1104
01:28:56,780 --> 01:29:01,800
looked at by the state senate or the state representatives.

1105
01:29:02,500 --> 01:29:11,720
What everyone needs to realize is that one councilperson opinion or what they say is not

1106
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:16,620
not be hold on the entire city nor is it on the entire council.

1107
01:29:16,860 --> 01:29:22,200
Everybody, individual council people have their own individual opinions, and that's

1108
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:24,940
where it goes from, and it is an opinion.

1109
01:29:25,660 --> 01:29:30,820
I don't begin to process to know everything about gay lesbian rights, where the problems

1110
01:29:30,820 --> 01:29:37,160
that those kids go through or the problems that the other children may face and it's what

1111
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:38,700
is really a confusing world.

1112
01:29:39,480 --> 01:29:43,540
However, that is the difficult choices that our legislature must make.

1113
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:50,560
If you do have pertinent information to them, use it to the power that you have and you have the power of the vote.

1114
01:29:51,220 --> 01:29:57,000
But I do not recommend hysteria going through when you try to work on this serious issue.

1115
01:29:57,580 --> 01:29:59,960
and when you talk about what was being talked about.

1116
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:23,280
So, with that, let's be adults about this. If you have information, by all means, contact your state senate, contact your representative. Let's do this in the way that it was meant to be. Let your word be heard through your voting. With that, entertain a motion.

1117
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:23,760
Thank you, Chair.

1118
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:24,460
We'll go.

1119
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:24,920
We'll go.

1120
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:27,580
Quick call.
