00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,040

community which he serves so very very

23
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,760
well in uh my hometown of Romulus which

24
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,599
is where I reside. Uh his church is

25
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,840
right down the street and uh he does an

26
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,000
absolutely incredible job of uplifting

27
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,760
the community and ensuring that those

28
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,800
are those people who are less fortunate

29
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:37,040
are served uh to the fullest extent. So

30
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,599
with that being said, it's my honor, my

31
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:45,319
pleasure, and my privilege to bring up

32
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:45,319
Dr. Mario A. Clark, Senior. Mario,

33
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:57,360
want to say good afternoon or good

34
00:02:54,239 --> 00:02:59,200
morning to everyone.

35
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,200
Kind of tall, so you'll have to excuse

36
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,200
me.

37
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:10,239
We just want to as we prepare to beseech

38
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,200
the Lord. We want to say it's an honor

39
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:16,879
to stand before you all. It's a

40
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,120
privilege. Um I praise God for all of

41
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:21,120
you that are here that work so

42
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,720
diligently in your prospective

43
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,360
positions.

44
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,080
And I want to give accolades and honor

45
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:32,879
to my good friend and brother Alan

46
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Wilson, the commissioner of district 11.

47
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:38,640
Um, as we were talking in the office

48
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,040
before I got here, I was just

49
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,280
reminiscing over the years that we had

50
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,879
time to fellowship.

51
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,440
And you have a good man on the team. I

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:51,599
just want to say that he has never

53
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,319
forgotten his roots. He has never

54
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:56,959
forgotten where he's come from.

55
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:59,760
Being a pastor, a lot of people think

56
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:01,120
that, oh, God just blesses the pastor

57
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,720
and they don't need help because they

58
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:08,879
can go straight to God. But last year, I

59
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,920
ran into some difficulties with some uh

60
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:13,680
things after my mother passed. And I

61
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,200
didn't know what to do and who to turn

62
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,400
to.

63
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,880
And I got up at 3:00 in the morning and

64
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,720
I I went down in my office and I began

65
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,720
to pray.

66
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,600
And

67
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,280
not even realizing that I had the Wayne

68
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,280
County Commissioner in my rolodex on my

69
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,280
phone,

70
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:37,680
it dawned on them. It just like a light

71
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:39,360
came on. You know, you've done all you

72
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,960
can do.

73
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,120
And I I just didn't know where else to

74
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,919
turn. And I thought about it. I said,

75
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,840
"God has given me all the tools that I

76
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:52,080
need to get this situation taken care

77
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:57,840
of." And I got on the phone and I called

78
00:04:52,080 --> 00:05:01,520
him and he worked diligently

79
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,440
to see us through our situation until it

80
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,039
was rectified.

81
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,759
And even when I gave up, I would get

82
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:12,160
calls from him letting me know he had

83
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:14,400
not forgot about us. So I just want to

84
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,240
give praise to him for the diligent work

85
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,880
he does in the community and all of you

86
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,000
as well.

87
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,000
» Thank you.

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,520
» And at this time if we bow our heads

89
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,080
please of a word of prayer.

90
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Dear heavenly and gracious father we

91
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,800
want to say thank you.

92
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,960
We want to give you praise, honor and

93
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,039
glory for even allowing us to see

94
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,759
another day.

95
00:05:35,039 --> 00:05:39,600
You let us know that each day brings new

96
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:42,880
mercies.

97
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,440
And we understand that you're the father

98
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,919
that is in heaven and whom created the

99
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,160
world out of nothing.

100
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:53,120
We know that you're the God who spoke

101
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,600
everything into existence.

102
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,160
And all of us here are the result of

103
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,560
your creativity.

104
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Lord, your word tells us that where two

105
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:07,039
or three are gathered together in your

106
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:09,680
name, you, God, would be in the midst.

107
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:11,840
Therefore, we ask that you would bless

108
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,520
each person present here today with your

109
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:15,520
grace,

110
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,440
your protection,

111
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,360
your wisdom,

112
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,319
and favor.

113
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,800
We pray for clear minds,

114
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:27,440
anointed communication

115
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,520
that the desired result may exceed all

116
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,160
expectations.

117
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,440
And finally, we say thank you for being

118
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,160
a God who is always understanding and

119
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,280
loving. And God, we thank you for

120
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,039
blessing us in ways that are beyond our

121
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,360
understanding.

122
00:06:43,039 --> 00:06:47,520
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we

123
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,160
pray and give thanks. Amen.

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,160
» Amen.

125
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:05,759
Thank you.

126
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,160

232
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:18,680
like to call on Commissioner Murki and

233
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,680
the team to come up for remarks, please.

234
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,600
Good morning everyone and happy new year

235
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,120
to everyone. Um,

236
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,560
look at this great group. I thought I'd

237
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,360
bring them up because it's a smaller

238
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:51,200
group and they fit right here in front.

239
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,040
Uh, thank you chair Bell and colleagues

240
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,120
for giving me a few moments during this

241
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,680
meeting to recognize the Northville High

242
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,639
School boys cross country team for yet

243
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:03,519
another outstanding season. You may

244
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:05,839
recognize some familiar names as this

245
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:09,040
marks their fourth consecutive Division

246
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:10,800
1 state championship. It's a real honor

247
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,720
for me to recognize a team that has

248
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,360
brought an incredible amount of pride to

249
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,440
Northville and to Wayne County.

250
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,279
I get to talk about many accompl

251
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,920
accomplishments in this role, but I can

252
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:24,160
honestly say this one is very special.

253
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,519
Winning a state championship is hard.

254
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,839
Winning four in a row in division one is

255
00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:32,399
something very few teams will ever

256
00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:34,800
experience. What they've done is truly

257
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:36,560
historic. This season, Northville

258
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,120
dominated all year. The team went

259
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,199
undefeated in division in its division

260
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,279
for the fifth year in a row, claimed a

261
00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:45,839
fourth straight Kensington Lakes

262
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:47,279
Athletic Association Conference title,

263
00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:49,600
and brought home a fifth straight

264
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:52,000
regional championship. That kind of

265
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,760
consistency doesn't happen by accident.

266
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,760
It comes from showing up every day,

267
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,519
holding each other accountable, and

268
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,519
believing in the process even when the

269
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:02,480
work gets tough.

270
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:04,560
This championship group includes and

271
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,800

00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:11,360

277
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,199
you have played a role in this

278
00:15:23,199 --> 00:15:27,199
remarkable run and together you've built

279
00:15:25,199 --> 00:15:30,240
something that will rem be remembered in

280
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:34,000

281
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,240
want to recognize the coaching staff,

282
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,639
head coach Tim Dalton, who will say a

283
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:43,600
couple words along with Jack Dalton,

284
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:45,600
Chris Inch, Lauren Peek, and Adam Gabra.

285
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,360
Yeah. You built more than a winning

286
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,680
program and you built a culture that

287
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,680
instills discipline, teamwork, and

288
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,160
resilience. and it shows up every time

289
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,160
these athletes step onto the course. On

290
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,759

291
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,079
County, congratulations on an

292
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:02,480
extraordinary accomplishment. It is my

00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:04,079
privilege to present this resolution

294
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,800
honoring your fourth consecutive

295
00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:08,720
division one state championships.

296
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,040
Congratulations and thank you for all

297
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,040
being here.

298
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,399
First, thank you to all of you as

299
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,959
commissioners and especially

300
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:30,399
Commissioner Mori for uh taking a couple

301
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:32,079
minutes. I know you have a ton of

302
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,160
important information to discuss, but to

303
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:36,560
honor our kids. Um she did a great job

304
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,639
of summarizing it. Four years in a row

305
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,399
um no matter what sport or activity in

306
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:42,720
life, to win it all like that is truly

307
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:45,040
incredible for these kids. Um, I will

308
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,800
give you a couple stats on the sport.

309
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,560
Cross country, you get each school gets

310
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,480
seven kids. They run 3.1 miles or a 5K.

311
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,399
You add up their finishing places in the

312
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,560
low score win. So, like golf and low

313
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:58,399
score. We had three finish in the top 10

314
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,759
in the state of Michigan. Brandon Cloud

315
00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:03,279
Jr. ran 14 minutes and 52 seconds. I'm

316
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:05,679
not a math major, but if you divide that

317
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,679
by three, figure out his mile pace. Um,

318
00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:09,039
super impressive. Ben Hardigan, a

319
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:12,959
senior, finished eighth in the state of

320
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:15,839
Michigan. and Ryan Stojove was 10th. Um,

321
00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:18,880
our fourth runner was senior Ethan

322
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:20,720
Herza. Fifth runner was Manny Coats. Uh,

323
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,600
sixth runner was senior Colton

324
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,839
Blackburn. Seventh was Lucas Mullen. And

325
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,319
our junior, we had an alternate um, Jack

326
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:29,840
Lewis. So, it's really about them. Super

327
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,120
uh, proud of them, the way they

328
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,799
represented not only our high school,

329
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:34,799
but our community and really Wayne

330
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:36,640
County on a state level. And then the

331
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:38,880
last thing I will say, can't do it. We

332
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,720
had 91 boys on our team total. Couldn't

333
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,240
do it without assistant coaches. So

334
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,480
truly appreciative for the two that are

335
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,679
here today, Coach Lauren Peek and Coach

336
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,679

00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:02,640
Okay, Commissioner Garza.

Right. Thank you so much.

Next item, we're moving to new business

386
00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:25,919
immediate consideration. There are 10

387
00:20:23,679 --> 00:20:27,120
items listed. Item number one is

388
00:20:25,919 --> 00:20:28,400
requesting commission approval of

389
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,919
» One second please for me. I just want to

390
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,679
explain what we're doing here. So we

391
00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:33,840
have immediate considerations on the

392
00:20:31,679 --> 00:20:35,760
agenda for today because obviously this

393
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,679
being the first meeting of the year we

394
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,480
did not have committees prior to these

395
00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:42,720
items coming before us. So we will go

396
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,559
through these items as if we're in a

397
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,640
committee format. The representatives

398
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:48,720
from departments will come and speak to

399
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,400
the items and then the floor will be

400
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:53,200
open for questions from the

401
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,000
commissioners before we uh vote on the

402
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,480
items. So, with that being said, madam

403
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,080
clerk,

404
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,600
» Item number one is requesting commission

405
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,600
approval of a three-year professional

406
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,120

treatment basins and the Rouge Valley

414
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:26,640
sewer disposal system lift station.

415
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,799
Okay. All right. Who's here to speak to

416
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,799
this item?

417
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:42,159
» You're on.

418
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,000
» Hi, my name is Elizabeth Pereira. I'm

419
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:46,480
the assistant division director for DPS

420
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,679
environmental services division. This

421
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,159
contract um is for as needed and testing

422
00:21:49,679 --> 00:21:54,000
and analysis for the um electrical

423
00:21:52,159 --> 00:21:56,480
systems at four of our pump stations,

424
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,919
the CSO basins along with the pump

425
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,320
stations that are located at the Rouge

426
00:21:57,919 --> 00:22:02,240
Valley sewage disposal system. Um this

427
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,480
contract was needed because um the

428
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,159
systems are very old and outdated and

429
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,559
there's been a lot of electrical issues

430
00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:11,840
there and so we needed to get a contract

431
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:13,360
in place so that we can have these um we

432
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,960
don't have emergency situations that

433
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:16,960
arise. We have a contract in place with

434
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,960
a company that can handle this. Went out

435
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,840
for bid and this this company was the

436
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,080
one that won the bid.

437
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,799
» For these particular sewage lines, are

438
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,799
there others that are in need of this

439
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:29,520
type of support or this will complete

440
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:31,919
all of them?

441
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,720
» This will complete all of them.

442
00:22:31,919 --> 00:22:36,400
» Any discussion on item number one?

443
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,400
Discussion. Commissioner Peterson

444
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,400
Mayberry.

445
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,400
» Thank you, Madam Chair. Um, so you did

446
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,840
ask my one question. Um, but I did have

447
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,320
one additional question. So I noticed

448
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:51,280
that so the headquarters for this is is

449
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,080
in Minnesota.

450
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,159
» I'm sorry.

451
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,480
» The headquarters for RMS, I'm sorry.

452
00:22:54,159 --> 00:22:56,799
» Yes, they have local office.

453
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,280
» Yes.

454
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:01,919
» Okay. And then the other question was,

455
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,919
have we had these repairs before? And is

456
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:04,559
this the company that we've used in the

457
00:23:03,919 --> 00:23:06,400
past?

458
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:08,480
» We have used them in the past for an

459
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,320
emergency situation. Um, but we've had

460
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:14,559
situations before where we've had to ask

461
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:16,000
for either emergency um assistance or um

462
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:19,760
we've had companies that we've had

463
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,559
appeal with before. Um, this company um

464
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,080
it went out as an RFQ so they were the

465
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:26,559
most qualified.

466
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,039
» Okay. I saw the rubrics and so the last

467
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:31,039
question I'll ask is in the rubrics that

468
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:33,600
was used I know there was one other

469
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:35,440
vendor and so do we typically is it best

470
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,240
practice to just go by the highest

471
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,080
score? Are there other mechanisms in

472
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,320
place to decide when you're deciding

473
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,559
like who the final who the final company

474
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,120
is that receives the bid?

475
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:48,559
» So, usually when when it's an IFB, it's

476
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:51,039
usually the lowest bidder, but this one

477
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:53,120
was an RFQ, so it was um request for

478
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,840
qualification um and they were the most

479
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,679
qualified.

480
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,799
» Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair.

481
00:23:55,679 --> 00:24:02,039
» Thank you. Any additional questions on

482
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:02,039
this item?

483
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:08,880
and let's do items one through six

484
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,120
together and then we'll do seven through

485
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,760
10. Thank you.

486
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:12,880
» Thank you.

487
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,279

County parks director uh this item is

00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:55,840
for purchase of uh equipment a front

502
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:58,880
loader um to replace uh equipment that's

503
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,960
aged out.

504
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,960
Do you know how long the equipment that

505
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,600
we had previously we'd had that for? How

506
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,840
many years?

507
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:10,240
» I believe at 25 years what I was

508
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,720
pretty aged out. [laughter]

509
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,240
Okay.

510
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,279
» Yeah, we have some old equipment. We're

511
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,919
very excited about this.

512
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:19,600
Okay. Any additional questions on this

513
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:21,600
item?

514
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,919
Commissioner Baker McCormack

515
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:30,240
» Point about the age out. Um, is that the

516
00:25:25,919 --> 00:25:31,120
usual life of the uh expectancy of this

517
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,880
uh type of

518
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:35,679
» That's a great question. Seems like

519
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:38,480
things that were constructed years ago

520
00:25:35,679 --> 00:25:40,559
last a little longer. Um, you know,

521
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,360
often what happens to equipment, we use

522
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:46,960
it for as long as we can and replace it

523
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:48,720
uh usually when we need it. Um it's good

524
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,799
to have a plan in place for replacing

525
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,799
but I think parks is a little behind

526
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:55,120
just uh you know with re limited

527
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:57,200
resources and rising costs for equipment

528
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:59,679
like this. Uh but this had been planned

529
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,559
for uh and budgeted in the parks

530
00:25:59,679 --> 00:26:03,360
millillage.

531
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:06,320
» What's the warranty on on this?

532
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:10,039
» That's a great question. Um I will have

533
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,039
to follow up on that.

534
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,600
» Mr. Colleen,

535
00:26:12,159 --> 00:26:17,679
» Thank you Madam Chair. Morning. What is

536
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,559
a wheel loader and what do we do with

537
00:26:17,679 --> 00:26:21,279
it?

538
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:23,600
» Um, from what I know, the front loader

539
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:24,559
is used for a variety of things. It can

540
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,799
uh lift

541
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:27,520
» Wheel loader. Is that the same thing as

542
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:29,520
a front loader?

543
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,080
» Yeah, I think we call it in-house a

544
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:35,279
front loader. So, it's equipment with a

545
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:37,679
big kind of um bucket on the front. So,

546
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:40,640
it can be used for lifting things,

547
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:42,159
moving them. Um

548
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,240
sometimes there's attachments you can

549
00:26:42,159 --> 00:26:47,360
move on can put on them for a few

550
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,640
different um activities. Um it's

551
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:49,840
» But it's a front loader.

552
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,159
» Yeah.

553
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,400
» Never heard of a wheel loader. Thank

554
00:26:52,159 --> 00:26:55,400

Township.

584
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:14,880
» Thank you for that runon sentence. Um

585
00:28:13,849 --> 00:28:16,320
[laughter]

586
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,520
sir,

587
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,279
» Good morning everybody and happy new

588
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,039
year to everybody. This is Sammy Ki,

589
00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:23,840
director of engineering county highway

590
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:25,360
engineer. This project is related to a

591
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,480
bridge design for one of our

592
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:31,039
consultants. Uh we had to uh do a little

593
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,120
bit of extra work that was required. So

594
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:35,520
that's why we're uh seeking additional

595
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,880
funding to cover the design of this

596
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,360
bridge.

597
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,480
» Name for the record, please.

598
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,440
» Your name for the record.

599
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,520
» Tammy Caldi.

600
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,919
» Thank you. Uh discussion. Commissioner

601
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Colleen.

602
00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:52,880
» Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning,

603
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:56,799
Mr. Caldi. Um

604
00:28:52,880 --> 00:29:00,000
so we are looking at uh obtaining state

605
00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:02,159
historic preservation.

606
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,919
» Yes sir. uh that's like a category that

607
00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:10,000
that bridge would be an historic

608
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:13,120
» During the uh design of this bridge we

609
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,360
and searching the information we uh

610
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,240
determine this bridge is a historical

611
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,799
bridge and then we have to seek the

612
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:23,440
permit from US coro engineers as well as

613
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:25,840
from the state too.

614
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,720
» So what's the I didn't quite hear all of

615
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,520
that. What's the uh what's the

616
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,520
consequences? What

617
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,520
is good for Wayne County? If this does

618
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,399
have historic preservation, how does

619
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,840
that change the management of it?

620
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:42,320
» Speak closer to the mic, please.

621
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,640
» Yeah, I mean, if it is determined to be

622
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:48,480
a historical bridge, there are a lot of

623
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:50,080
extra steps that required from us to do

624
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,760
uh you know, we have to document the

625
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,880
whole history of the bridge. We have to

626
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,960
do uh take photos and make sure

627
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,840
everything is being preserved. So, it's

628
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,960
a little bit of a lengthy process to uh

629
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:05,520
get this bridge approved by the state

630
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:09,200
and US corp of engineers before we do

631
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,480
any uh any uh reconstruction of this

632
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,919
bridge.

633
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:16,159
» Still having trouble hearing you, Mr.

634
00:30:11,919 --> 00:30:17,600
Cali. Maybe it's me. Um

635
00:30:16,159 --> 00:30:19,600
there's a different regulatory

636
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,240
environment if you're on the historic

637
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,880
preservation list or historic list.

638
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,960
» Yes. Typically when it is a historical

639
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,760
bridge you have to go through the

640
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:32,480
process of getting a permit from MD for

641
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:35,279
we call it the ship and uh like I said

642
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:37,360
it's a it's a lengthy process to

643
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:40,480
document everything the state needs for

644
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:42,880
that particular bridge or even uh any

645
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,840
entity we run it through it if we are

646
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,640
doing a road job too. So it's it's

647
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,480
required but if it is it's not

648
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,840
historical or it doesn't have any

649
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:57,440
history then we don't have to uh get a

650
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,799
permit from MD that

651
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:02,240
there any help from the state of

652
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:05,360
Michigan in terms of uh maintaining it

653
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:09,039
once it's historic. Does the state kick

654
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:12,000
in anything for maintenance?

655
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:13,679
» No sir. uh you know the the state want

656
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,840
to make sure everything is being

657
00:31:13,679 --> 00:31:19,399
recorded and preserved for that

658
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,399
particular structure.

659
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,919
» Thank you Madam Chair.

660
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:27,760
» Thank you Commissioner Murki.

661
00:31:25,919 --> 00:31:30,320
» Thank you Madam Chair. So just a couple

662
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,720
questions. Who initiated

663
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:36,000
this process to find out if this is a

664
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:39,760
historic bridge?

665
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:42,159
Typically this is in any design process.

666
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,200
It's in any design process. In any

667
00:31:42,159 --> 00:31:45,360
design project they do.

668
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,919
» Yeah. We have to make sure we are in

669
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,080
compliance with all these requirements.

670
00:31:47,919 --> 00:31:51,679
» Okay. So if it's deemed historic too

671
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,240
it's going to be more money a lot more

672
00:31:51,679 --> 00:31:56,880
money probably to

673
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,519
» It's the cost will be to go through the

674
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:02,880
process of the approval which is it

675
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:05,919
costs sometimes from 20 to $30,000 just

676
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,760
to do this part of the shu. Okay. But

677
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:10,000
you don't think there'd be added costs

678
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,519
as time moves on because it's historic.

679
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,399
It would just be this.

680
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:17,120
» Yeah. So far, this is what uh we have

681
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:19,919
received from the design engineer.

682
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:23,360
» Okay. So, we do this

683
00:32:19,919 --> 00:32:26,080
with every bridge that Okay. I didn't

684
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:28,240
know that. All right. I guess that's it.

685
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,519
Thank you.

686
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,519
» Additional discussion. Commissioner

687
00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:34,960
Baker McCormack.

688
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:37,840
So for clarification, do is is there

689
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:41,039
some type of placard or something that

690
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:45,279
goes on the bridge that says it's

691
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:48,080
historical after it's deemed that

692
00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:50,880
» There are there are rules and guidelines

693
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:53,039
by the state to determine which

694
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:56,720
structure in general is historical or

695
00:32:53,039 --> 00:33:00,000
nonhistorical. So it's it goes by years

696
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,760
and the way it's it's constructed too.

697
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,360
So yeah, there are a lot of guidelines.

698
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,720
That's why it takes a little bit of time

699
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:09,440
and extra money effort to make sure like

700
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,200
we preserving everything for this bridge

701
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,640
before we demo the bridge.

702
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:17,360
» Right. But is there a certification or a

703
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:20,080
placard that goes on the bridge that

704
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,600
that states this this is a historical

705
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,679
designation?

706
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,279
Is do you know if there's no

707
00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:27,760
» I don't think there is a plaque. I think

708
00:33:25,279 --> 00:33:29,840
there is a black usually with with uh

709
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,000
every bridge that was when it was

710
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,760
constructed. We preserve that too.

711
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,559
» It's just part of the process of

712
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,480
» Yes. Thank you.

713
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:38,640
» Yeah. You're welcome.

714
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,320
» Additional remarks questions.

715
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,559
Commissioner Clemente.

716
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,279
» Thank you, Madam Chair. So, as we're

717
00:33:42,559 --> 00:33:49,279
waiting for this, I'm wondering about

718
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:52,720
the safety of the bridge. Is it fine to

719
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:55,120
be used while we're waiting to do the

720
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,880
reconstruction for the state to say if

721
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,440
it's historic or not?

722
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,440
» Yeah, I mean if if we determine that the

723
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,919
bridge is not safe, we will close it.

724
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,840
But the bridge is open to traffic, this

725
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:08,399
mean it is safe to keep it open.

726
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,159
» Okay, very good. Thank you,

727
00:34:08,399 --> 00:34:13,359
» Commissioner Palam.

728
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:15,520
» Thank you, Madam Chair. uh to some of my

729
00:34:13,359 --> 00:34:17,520
colleagues questions. Yes, I believe at

730
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,359
some point there will be a placard

731
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,679
that's put up on the side of the bridge

732
00:34:19,359 --> 00:34:24,399
that designates that as a historic

733
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:26,320
structure to Commissioner Clemente. Yes,

734
00:34:24,399 --> 00:34:29,280
I believe it's safe. I drove over it

735
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,839
yesterday and

736
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:35,440
uh also request to be the maker of this

737
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:37,760

746
00:34:51,359 --> 00:34:55,280
commission approval of retroactive

747
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:57,280
amendment number one to a one-year

748
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,200
construction contract with a one-year

749
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,079
option to renew between the Charter

00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:05,800
County of Wayne and Dan's Escavating not

751
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:05,800
to exceed $64,88.91.

752
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,680
exercising the option to renew to

753
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:14,560
continue improvements to the Joy Road at

754
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,800
McClumpa Road intersection in Canton and

755
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,520
Plymouth Townships.

756
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,160
Sir,

757
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,960
» Yes. Uh this is a project nearby Canton

758
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:25,200
Plymouth School. Uh we had to do some

759
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:28,320
safety improvement at the intersection.

760
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:31,040
There was no uh traffic signal. So we

761
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:35,520
also determined that the traffic signal

762
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:39,520
is warranted and we also had to make uh

763
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:45,040
crosswalks safe to students to cross and

764
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:48,640
this project uh started uh um on time

765
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:51,200
and we determined uh that because of the

766
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:55,760
signal there was like 6 months lead time

767
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:57,680
on these ones. So, and uh the contractor

768
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,800
continued to work to make sure

769
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:05,680
everything is in place before the school

770
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:08,400
opens up again. And uh we uh we're most

771
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:11,760
the majority of the work was completed

772
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:14,720
in May 2025. We just had to do some

773
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:17,520
restorations to complete the job before

774
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:19,920
the school students come back to school.

775
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:22,240
So, the project has been completed. uh

776
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:25,359
in order to close the job. Usually it

777
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:29,440
takes about 180 days to close the job.

778
00:36:25,359 --> 00:36:32,480
We we have to have an active contract.

779
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,240

Um what else needs to be done? I've I've

788
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:58,720

timeline? And is the intersection going

00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:03,520

886
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:35,599
» Just the timing but there has not been

887
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,839
any towing services provided at this

» Thank you, Madam Chair.

893
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:54,320
Towing contracts make me nervous.

894
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:58,000
There's a long history in Southeast

895
00:40:54,320 --> 00:41:00,400
Michigan with towing contracts.

896
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:03,359
Sometimes it involves the Kosanostra and

897
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:06,640
other. How do we assess

898
00:41:03,359 --> 00:41:10,480
whether this is the proper company

899
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:12,240
uh to provide these services?

900
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,480
» This uh towing company was selected

901
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:16,560
through a RFP. There was an official bid

902
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,560
and an evaluation committee. So this

903
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,760
Martins as well as J&T were both

904
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,839
selected.

905
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,800
» What do we look for in that RFP? You

906
00:41:21,839 --> 00:41:27,680
know, I'm I'm concerned about citizens

907
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,680
showing up to get their cars back and

908
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:33,880
how that process goes and how the

909
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,880
company handles it. Uh,

910
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,119
in the RFP, what are the things that

911
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,839
we're looking for out of a towing

912
00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:45,520
company other than just getting a car

913
00:41:41,839 --> 00:41:47,760
off the road? Well, our operations team

914
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:50,160
provides the information that they um

915
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,400
really need to the procurement

916
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:54,560
department and they go out and they do

917
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,880
the selection. They have a entire list

918
00:41:54,560 --> 00:42:00,079
that the criteria has to be met and it's

919
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,160
a scoring evaluation that's done.

920
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:05,760
And I can't give you details as to each

921
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:08,480
and every piece of it, but um the time

922
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:11,280
that they've been in business, uh as far

923
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,520
as the employees that are employed, uh

924
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:17,319
their ethics that's involved. So there's

925
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,319
a lengthy process.

926
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:20,400
» All right. They just make me nervous.

927
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,040
Thank you. Thank you, Madam.

928
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:25,839
» You're welcome.

929
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:27,839
» Mayberry.

930
00:42:25,839 --> 00:42:30,079
» Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh, Miss Terry,

931
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:32,000
so I know you've mentioned in previous

932
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:34,319
meetings that you've come and changed

933
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,319
some of processes that were or were not

934
00:42:34,319 --> 00:42:38,560
in place. So, thank you for that. And

935
00:42:36,319 --> 00:42:41,680
so, when I look back at the history with

936
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:44,319
this company from 2012, it seems as if

937
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:46,560
we started a new contract right button

938
00:42:44,319 --> 00:42:48,560
up until the end of one contract. So, I

939
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:51,599
know you said timing on this one. So, it

940
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,880
ended in October and so now it's January

941
00:42:51,599 --> 00:42:54,800
and we're seeing it. So there was

942
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,319
nothing done. But do we have something

943
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,920
going forward so that there's not a

944
00:42:56,319 --> 00:42:59,200
overlap in contracts like this? I mean

945
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,480
when we're talking about towing, not

946
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:04,880
like interrupting an existing project.

947
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:07,280
Yes. And we continue to try to move

948
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:10,160
forward with getting our contracts with

949
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:12,640
doing like a fourmonth lead time. But

950
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,280
between your staffing, not just for our

951
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:17,760
department, but staffing and procurement

952
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:20,760
and new systems, it's been a timing

953
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,760
issue.

954
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,319
» You're welcome. Thank you, Commissioner

955
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:28,240
Mori.

956
00:43:24,319 --> 00:43:30,000
» Madam Chair, um our legal

957
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:32,480
um committee

958
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,640
has said there there have been services

959
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:38,240
provided since the end of September.

960
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:41,680
» Yes. And I um did speak with uh he's

961
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:44,079
more like a director now. And uh he did

962
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:46,640
assure me again that there has not been

963
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:49,440
any revenue that we received. So if a

964
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,119
vehicle was towed, I know that's listed

965
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,800
on there and I seen yes that services

966
00:43:51,119 --> 00:43:54,480
were provided but I wanted to clarify

967
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,560
that piece.

968
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,440
» We did not actually have a vehicle towed

969
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,040
during since

970
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,839
» They haven't had a vehicle no for 4

971
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,280
months.

972
00:43:59,839 --> 00:44:02,240
» Not with Martin's towing.

973
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,560
» Not with Martin [clears throat] towing.

974
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:04,160
» Yes.

975
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,880
» So with another towing company

976
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:09,359
» G& I'm not even sure because there is

977
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:12,000
outside of this there's a lawsuit right

978
00:44:09,359 --> 00:44:15,520
now with forfeite laws. So we are really

979
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:18,160
cautious on towing vehicles right now.

980
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,599
Okay. So, we're just kind of paying.

981
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,680
» No, we're not paying. This is a revenue

982
00:44:19,599 --> 00:44:24,000
contract. We get paid when these

983
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:27,560
vehicles are auctioned and we have not

984
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,560
received any revenue.

985
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:34,599
» Our legal counsel want to weigh in

986
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,599
through the chair by any chance

987
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,880
» Through the chair to this honorable

988
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,480
body. Um, we don't have any specifics.

989
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,960
So, we have to rely on the department

990
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,640
with regards to the um actions that have

991
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,680
or haven't been taken and services

992
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:52,880
provided by the vendor. Um so, I I would

993
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,160
have to refer back to Miss Terry.

994
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,200
» All right. Thank you,

995
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,760
» Commissioner Kenlock.

996
00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:00,880
» Yes, Madam Chair. Um yes, she just

997
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:05,200
mentioned a lawsuit. Um, I'd like to um

998
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:07,839
ask um uh both our ask our council um to

999
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:10,400
um coordinate with the department uh to

1000
00:45:07,839 --> 00:45:12,640
get um an update as relates to the

1001
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:16,720
circumstances surrounding that um as

1002
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:18,640
well as your office as well. Yeah.

1003
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:20,560
» Yes. I'll coordinate with corporation

1004
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,880
council with regards to that. We also

1005
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,640
received recently a foyer related to

1006
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,240
towing um which so you may hear

1007
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,560
something about that in the future too.

1008
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:30,720
» Okay. I just wanted to make sure that we

1009
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,200
were on this side made aware of what's

1010
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:34,560
going on there. That's what I'm saying.

1011
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,240
» Thank you, commissioners.

1012
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,400
» Good morning through the chair Suumo,

Director Terry is a lawsuit that's been

County

00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:04,079
the lawsuit obviously against Wayne

1023
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:06,640
County is part of a a national effort to

1024
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:08,640
uh bring about change in forfeite laws.

1025
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:11,040
» Okay. So, so just [clears throat] want

1026
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,520

Yep.

00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,839

Martins's Towing, which is this contract

1034
00:46:23,839 --> 00:46:26,800
here, and then JT towing. Are those the

1035
00:46:25,599 --> 00:46:28,000
only two that we use?

1036
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,079
» Yes. Yes.

1037
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,000

1043
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,599
months.

1044
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,160
» Yes, that's correct.

1045

1104
00:49:14,084 --> 00:49:17,280
» [clears throat]

1105
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:20,480
» Um the um uh the human capital

1106
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:23,599
management HR payroll system HCM. Uh

1107
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,280
essentially uh the the the the goal of

1108
00:49:23,599 --> 00:49:28,960
this contract is two or these contracts

1109
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:32,319
are twofold. Uh the first is to serve as

1110
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:34,960
a bridge to allow us to uh enter into

1111
00:49:32,319 --> 00:49:39,040
new contracts long-term that allow us to

1112
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,920
align the start and stop dates between

1113
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:44,720
the Wayne County uh the Wayne County uh

1114
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:46,880
systems and the Oracle systems uh which

1115
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:49,839
we'll you'll see uh four contracts

1116
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:53,359
coming up uh for for a for a May uh May

1117
00:49:49,839 --> 00:49:55,280
amendment. The second is uh the the

1118
00:49:53,359 --> 00:50:01,119
private the prior contract which expired

1119
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:04,319
on 9:30 bundled uh HCM, ERP and EPM into

1120
00:50:01,119 --> 00:50:06,960
one contract and because we had

1121
00:50:04,319 --> 00:50:09,280
different start uh start dates for you

1122
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:12,160
know related to the uh to the replans of

1123
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:16,160
the the implementations for

1124
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:18,000
ERP, HCM and EPM. uh all of the

1125
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,559
contracts were essentially bundled under

1126
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:23,440
one contract with the same start and

1127
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:26,079
stop date uh in in in our system in

1128
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:29,040
Oracle system because we're starting the

1129
00:50:26,079 --> 00:50:31,760
services on different times. So uh just

1130
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:36,240
to level set for everyone uh we went

1131
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:41,119
live with HCM July 1st of 2024. Uh the

1132
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:44,319
ERP system went live October 6 of 2025

1133
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:48,160
and the uh EPM system went live October

1134
00:50:44,319 --> 00:50:51,119
27th of 2025. Then they had a one-year

1135
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:53,760
uh or or one month uh hyperare session

1136
00:50:51,119 --> 00:50:55,440
under the implementation contract which

1137
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,599
was the contract that you know we've

1138
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,599
been uh dealing with primarily since

1139
00:50:57,599 --> 00:51:01,440
we've been having these discussions the

1140
00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:03,440
actual implementation of the systems.

1141
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:07,280
And so this managed services contract

1142
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:09,839
was primarily applying to HCM. And so

1143
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,839
these contracts were intended to

1144
00:51:09,839 --> 00:51:14,559
essentially

1145
00:51:11,839 --> 00:51:16,880
ensure we had funding for the services

1146
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:19,920
through the end of April which is when

1147
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:22,640
the the the the services expire in

1148
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:24,240
Oracle system. And so ultimately it

1149
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,319
would allow you know it would allow us

1150
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:27,839
to

1151
00:51:26,319 --> 00:51:29,359
fund the services which we weren't

1152
00:51:27,839 --> 00:51:31,680
intending for them to be retroactive

1153
00:51:29,359 --> 00:51:33,920
when we initially submitted but uh we

1154
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,520
had we had some some delays in in

1155
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,599
getting some changes made in the Oracle

1156
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:41,200
system which uh you know we put it on

1157
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:43,440
the uh uh uh on the agenda to the uh to

1158
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:46,319
the internal team with a little tight

1159
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:48,400
timing. And so the the game plan really

1160
00:51:46,319 --> 00:51:50,559
is uh to

1161
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:53,440
approve have these contracts approved

1162
00:51:50,559 --> 00:51:56,480
and then present new contract amendments

1163
00:51:53,440 --> 00:52:01,200
for longer terms that will tie up ERP,

1164
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:02,800
HCM and EPM uh you know for for you know

1165
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,920
a two to threeyear period. We're still

1166
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,559
kind of working through that with

1167
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,800
Oracle. Uh and so in the interim, these

1168
00:52:06,559 --> 00:52:11,839
contracts would be the bridge between

1169
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:14,400
the end of the prior combined uh managed

1170
00:52:11,839 --> 00:52:16,319
services contract and then the uh the

1171
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:18,319
start of those new contracts that that

1172
00:52:16,319 --> 00:52:21,319
will be forthcoming for uh for a May

1173
00:52:18,319 --> 00:52:21,319
approval.

1174
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,920
» Thank you. Uh remain remain on the line

1175
00:52:24,319 --> 00:52:26,960
for questions, please.

1176
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:30,680
» Absolutely.

1177
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,680
» Okay, Commissioner Kenlock.

1178
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:39,920
» Thank you, Madam Chair. My question is

1179
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:42,160
um one uh so you intend on bringing to

1180
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:46,079
us an extension uh up to like three

1181
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:49,440
additional years. Um when does the

1182
00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:52,201
sunset on this project when is it

1183
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:54,319
expected to end? Um as well

1184
00:52:52,201 --> 00:52:58,319
[clears throat] as um definitely want to

1185
00:52:54,319 --> 00:53:01,760
have a meeting to discuss this um this

1186
00:52:58,319 --> 00:53:03,760
um ongoing uh contractual relationship

1187
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,400
uh and the costs associated with all the

1188
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:09,280
various aspects associ with these um

1189
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:11,200
with these contracts. Um ju just wanting

1190
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:13,200
to know do you have a sunset? Is it

1191
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,599
going to go beyond the three years? Uh

1192
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,520
what what's going on here? This is

1193
00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:20,319
» So Yeah. Yep. Yep. Good good question.

1194
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:23,200
So uh just just for everyone's

1195
00:53:20,319 --> 00:53:27,760
edification the connect 43 project

1196
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:29,920
involved four major pillars ERP HCM EPM

1197
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,800
and then the uh data warehouse or we we

1198
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:35,520
call it you'll see it as ADW. Uh three

1199
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,839
of three of the four have been fully

1200
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:41,200
implemented. So we again we went live

1201
00:53:37,839 --> 00:53:45,200
with HCM July 2024

1202
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:50,640
October we went live with ERP and EPM we

1203
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:53,680
are live with the ADW for HCM so ADW the

1204
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:57,119
warehouse has two components there's a

1205
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:59,680
HCM component uh which is in production

1206
00:53:57,119 --> 00:54:02,480
and then there's a ERP component which

1207
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:05,280
we haven't started implementation yet uh

1208
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,680
the the game plan to answer the question

1209
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,599
of when think we will be done with the

1210
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,760
implementation. So essentially kind of

1211
00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:13,760
the the last step of the pro of the

1212
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,319
connect 43 project and then it

1213
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,760
essentially uh reverts to a ongoing

1214
00:54:16,319 --> 00:54:21,040
maintenance of the county's Oracle

1215
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:24,160
platform. We're anticipating uh June or

1216
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:28,079
July. Uh we what what what we are doing

1217
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:29,599
is we are preparing a data warehouse

1218
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:31,920
ERPon

1219
00:54:29,599 --> 00:54:34,559
ordering document that we would plan to

1220
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:36,079
present uh sometime in the early late

1221
00:54:34,559 --> 00:54:38,160
March early April time frame just

1222
00:54:36,079 --> 00:54:40,400
depending on how how fast things go in

1223
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:44,559
the process and then we would start the

1224
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:46,880
ADW ERP implementation when that

1225
00:54:44,559 --> 00:54:49,680
contract is approved and we're

1226
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:51,280
anticipating 3 months or so but you know

1227
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,960
there you there's things that can

1228
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,720
happen. So, you know, potentially

1229
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:57,280
longer. So, we would bogey in some time

1230
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:59,280
for the unexpected. But under a

1231
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:02,400
three-month time frame, we would be

1232
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:05,680
anticipating uh the implementation of

1233
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:08,240
Connect 43 being complete in the uh June

1234
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,440
July time frame of 2025.

1235
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:10,800
» Okay. Okay. So, when I'm talking about

1236
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,960
those extensions that you're talking

1237
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:16,960
about the three years, okay, as you all

1238
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:20,240
are um in your um uh I guess in in your

1239
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:23,359
uh huddle discussing um the timeline

1240
00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:26,079
associated with this, I want you all to

1241
00:55:23,359 --> 00:55:29,119
understand that uh to think around

1242
00:55:26,079 --> 00:55:32,240
shortening and getting this thing done

1243
00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:34,240
on the on the as soon as possible, not

1244
00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:37,119
looking extending outward. Of course, we

1245
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:39,839
want it to work. Um but it it's just I

1246
00:55:37,119 --> 00:55:42,160
I'm just very u concerned about um

1247
00:55:39,839 --> 00:55:44,000
issues that I will meet with you all to

1248
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:47,520
discuss along with the chair and the

1249
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:49,760
chair of um of gov ops as it relates to

1250
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:53,200
this issue because this this this has to

1251
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:55,200
stop. Thank you.

1252
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:58,240
» Thank you commissioner. Any other

1253
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:59,920
questions or discussions on these items?

1254
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:03,359
Commissioner Becker McCormack.

1255
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:08,240
» Thank you madam chair. I too am very

1256
00:56:03,359 --> 00:56:11,200
concerned about this project. I believe

1257
00:56:08,240 --> 00:56:14,160
I think 3 years ago we were saying that

1258
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:20,640
it would be done and complete up and

1259
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:22,960
running. Um I don't even know where what

1260
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:25,119
at this point what we've spent on the

1261
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:29,359
project. this kind of hard to keep up

1262
00:56:25,119 --> 00:56:33,839
because we keep extending and I know

1263
00:56:29,359 --> 00:56:37,760
that there's been um a lot of issues

1264
00:56:33,839 --> 00:56:41,040
with this and um with the whole project

1265
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:45,680
um and I know what we're trying to get

1266
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:47,520
to, but it's it is concerning that we

1267
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,760
keep

1268
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:52,640
spending more and more money towards

1269
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:54,720
this project and it seems like we're not

1270
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:58,400
getting anywhere. I don't know if it's

1271
00:56:54,720 --> 00:57:02,480
just me, but I don't know. Um, is there

1272
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:05,920
any penalties? Maybe we could ask our

1273
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:07,280
council um

1274
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,079
what we can

1275
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:14,079
» Madam chair

1276
00:57:08,079 --> 00:57:19,760
» Do or is there any uh ramifications for

1277
00:57:14,079 --> 00:57:21,680
each extension going beyond the point as

1278
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,680
you know

1279
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:27,599
is there any

1280
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:29,839
penalties that's that's what I'm asking

1281
00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:33,599
» Through the chair to this honorable body

1282
00:57:29,839 --> 00:57:36,400
um commissioner it it all depends on the

1283
00:57:33,599 --> 00:57:39,839
way the contract is written. If there is

1284
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:41,760
no breach or no delay this on the part

1285
00:57:39,839 --> 00:57:43,200
of Oracle and it's within the county

1286
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,359
then there wouldn't be a penalty. So I

1287
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,640
think that's a complicated question. Um

1288
00:57:45,359 --> 00:57:48,240
nothing has been brought to our

1289
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,760
attention as we reviewed these that

1290
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:52,000
would give us the impression that a

1291
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:54,079
penalty should be imposed. But I will

1292
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,240
rely obviously on the department and

1293
00:57:54,079 --> 00:57:57,920
those who are intricately involved and

1294
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,760
know all the details of this. But

1295
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,680
nothing came to our awareness that would

1296
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:04,400
even give us the impression that was um

1297
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:06,000
an issue at this point. Um but again, it

1298
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:08,000
all depends on the delay. And if there

1299
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,760
is a delay or it's just a slow process,

1300
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,440
I I can't speak to that. I would again

1301
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,400
have to rely back on the to the

1302
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,559
department.

1303
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:19,040
» Okay. So you're saying that each

1304
00:58:14,559 --> 00:58:22,079
extension that we've had over the last I

1305
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:24,400
don't know five years I think. I I can't

1306
00:58:22,079 --> 00:58:26,640
even remember how long the project has

1307
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:29,760
been going on, but I know it's been a

1308
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:32,319
long time. So, um you're saying that

1309
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:34,400
each delay there's

1310
00:58:32,319 --> 00:58:35,520
you don't think that there's a problem

1311
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,640
with

1312
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,319
» We can't determine that,

1313
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,920
» Right? I'm saying that we have to rely

1314
00:58:38,319 --> 00:58:41,520
on the department because we're not

1315
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,440
involved in the day-to-day. I can't

1316
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,520
speak to why there has been a delay or

1317
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,640
why there is a need for an extension. I

1318
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,119
think that would have to be a

1319
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,720
conversation with those involved in the

1320
00:58:49,119 --> 00:58:52,160
department to really get to those nuts

1321
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,640
and bolts. I can't speak to that.

1322
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:56,480
» And based on that, I will be calling a

1323
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,960
committee of the whole just to talk

1324
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,559
about Oracle because it has been a while

1325
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,880
since we've talked about it, had any

1326
00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:04,319
information, to know what the cost is,

1327
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,920
to know what the delays have been, to

1328
00:59:04,319 --> 00:59:07,599
know what the problems have been, what

1329
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,599
have been the corrections to the

1330
00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:12,559
problems. So, anticipate a committee of

1331
00:59:09,599 --> 00:59:14,960
the whole early February to go over all

1332
00:59:12,559 --> 00:59:16,400
things Oracle. And madam chair to that

1333
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:19,599
point what

1334
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:21,760
» It seems like we set up a

1335
00:59:19,599 --> 00:59:25,520
» Um committee to no

1336
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:27,280
» To a board to review it or no to kind of

1337
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,359
stay on top of it. No, the commit that's

1338
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,799
gov ops is dealing with it. Ways and

1339
00:59:29,359 --> 00:59:32,799
means from a general piece and the chair

1340
00:59:30,799 --> 00:59:34,240
has been calling committee a whole.

1341
00:59:32,799 --> 00:59:36,240
» Um do you recall?

1342
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,960
» I don't think we had a because it's been

1343
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,920
a long time.

1344
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:42,240
» It has been. That's why I thought we had

1345
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:45,200
um but anyway, maybe that's Yeah,

1346
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:48,079
» That is something we can do just so we

1347
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:52,079
can keep on top of it and figure out

1348
00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:53,680
when this project will end. Um thank

1349
00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:55,839
you. That's all I had to say. Yeah,

1350
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,839
there's been discussions in the gov ops

1351
00:59:55,839 --> 01:00:00,640
committee over the years, but I think

1352
00:59:57,839 --> 01:00:02,880
all of us need to a little get briefed

1353
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:04,559
on what has happened over the last uh

1354
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,240
few years and just see where we are with

1355
01:00:04,559 --> 01:00:08,079
this contract?

1356
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,440
Uh Michael, anything additional?

1357
01:00:08,079 --> 01:00:12,000
» Yeah. No, I'll just say through the

1358
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,359
chair and ju just and and that that

1359
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,520
that's a great question and great

1360
01:00:13,359 --> 01:00:18,960
discussion. I I I do want to clarify it.

1361
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:21,040
Um when we go live, that is really the

1362
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:23,680
end of the implementation slash the

1363
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:26,240
project. So of the you know again of the

1364
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:28,240
three major systems uh or the four major

1365
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:30,559
systems that we procured as part of this

1366
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:33,280
project we're we're done with the

1367
01:00:30,559 --> 01:00:35,520
implementation of the financial

1368
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:38,400
management system the budgetary planning

1369
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:41,200
system and the human capital uh HR

1370
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:43,040
payroll system. So the contracts that

1371
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,359
we're talking about now are for the

1372
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:48,640
ongoing maintenance. These would be the

1373
01:00:45,359 --> 01:00:50,880
contracts that we would have annually

1374
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:52,799
perpetually as long as we maintain

1375
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:55,040
Oracle. These are managed services

1376
01:00:52,799 --> 01:00:57,440
contracts which is a a different area of

1377
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:59,920
the industry than implementation. So the

1378
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:02,480
only project item that is still

1379
01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:05,040
outstanding as of right now is uh

1380
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:08,880
implementing the data warehouse for ERP

1381
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:11,280
which uh went live in October.

1382
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:15,520
And just for clarification, these four

1383
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:16,960
contracts total roughly 140 was about

1384
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,880
400,000

1385
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:21,119
» Uh 301,000 round.

1386
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,880
» So every so every year will have a

1387
01:01:21,119 --> 01:01:24,319
300,000

1388
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,760
maintenance bill.

1389
01:01:24,319 --> 01:01:27,599
» Well, we you know the plan would be to

1390
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:29,839
lock it in long term, but yes. Yeah. the

1391
01:01:27,599 --> 01:01:31,359
man that that the managed services is

1392
01:01:29,839 --> 01:01:33,680
for

1393
01:01:31,359 --> 01:01:38,400
Oracle providing assistance to the

1394
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:40,720
county in troubleshooting issues or

1395
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:44,559
implementing enhancements and and so we

1396
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:46,880
we kind of uh at a high level separate

1397
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:49,599
any any item related to Oracle into an

1398
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:51,839
issue or an enhancement. These contracts

1399
01:01:49,599 --> 01:01:55,760
assist for those particular uh

1400
01:01:51,839 --> 01:01:57,440
environments with the county resolving

1401
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,599
those issues or enhancements and that

1402
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,920
would be in perpetuity particularly as

1403
01:01:59,599 --> 01:02:03,119
we're getting new functionality uh every

1404
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:06,000
quarter.

1405
01:02:03,119 --> 01:02:07,119
» So at least 300,000 a year for the

1406
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,160
maintenance at least.

1407
01:02:07,119 --> 01:02:11,520
» Correct. Correct.

1408
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:13,680
» Okay. Thank you, Commissioner Clemente.

1409
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:16,400
» Thank you, Madam Chair. I think it'll be

1410
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:19,200
very beneficial uh when we do have our

1411
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:21,599
committee of the whole that we give a

1412
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:24,319
cheat sheet that explains all these

1413
01:02:21,599 --> 01:02:27,440
letters that Michael has been spewing

1414
01:02:24,319 --> 01:02:32,079
out because not everybody understands

1415
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:33,440
exactly what those all mean. Uh we as a

1416
01:02:32,079 --> 01:02:37,280
I won't talk for everybody on that

1417
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:41,599
committee but we have been um discussing

1418
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:47,520
this a lot. We get reports every month

1419
01:02:41,599 --> 01:02:50,000
about it and it is a um indepth read to

1420
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:52,640
understand everything. So I appreciate

1421
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,400
you bringing us all together to discuss

1422
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:57,599
this. Thank you

1423
01:02:54,400 --> 01:03:05,079
» Commissioner. Thank you. Any additional

1424
01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:05,079
questions on items 7, 8, 9, and 10?

1425
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:10,400
Any additional questions? Commissioner

1426
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:13,520
Wilson. Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh, not

1427
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:16,000
to pile on, but

1428
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,520
every time I see Oracle, I'm like,

1429
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,799
Commissioner Colleen, I guess I get a

1430
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,480
little nervous. I think you mentioned

1431
01:03:18,799 --> 01:03:22,559
get a little nervous about the towing

1432
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:25,520
companies. I get a little nervous about

1433
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:29,119
Oracle. Uh, and just in a nutshell, I

1434
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:31,599
can say that uh several individuals,

1435
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:33,599
whether you're on uh county staff or

1436
01:03:31,599 --> 01:03:36,799
whether you're uh member of the

1437
01:03:33,599 --> 01:03:39,760
commission, still waiting on checks.

1438
01:03:36,799 --> 01:03:43,680
So, I'm not sure what the issue is here

1439
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:47,680
because this has been ongoing. So, I do

1440
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:49,839
uh appreciate you, Madam Chair, for uh

1441
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:52,319
calling together committee of a whole so

1442
01:03:49,839 --> 01:03:54,160
we can hopefully get this resolved once

1443
01:03:52,319 --> 01:03:55,280
and for all because it's getting to the

1444
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:58,319
point right now where it's becoming

1445
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,920
absolutely ridiculous. So, thank you for

1446
01:03:58,319 --> 01:04:01,119
that. That was just my commentary.

1447
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:03,280
Appreciate you.

1448
01:04:01,119 --> 01:04:06,160
» Thank you, Commissioner.

1449
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:09,160
Any additional discussion before we

1450
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,160
vote?

1451
01:04:09,359 --> 01:04:14,000
Pardon?

1452
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:18,480
Need a motion. Moved by Commissioner

1453
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:22,200
Clemente, supported by Commissioner Dob.

1454
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:22,200
Any further discussion?

1455
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,440
Hearing none, please vote.

1456
01:04:40,319 --> 01:04:43,559
and carries.

1457
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,720

» Thank you, Madam Chair. Um, just want to

1600
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,480
make [clears throat] a remark about uh

1601
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:56,880
flu cases. Um, flu cases are surging in

1602
01:10:54,480 --> 01:11:00,080
Michigan right now. Our state is been

1603
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:02,159
hit hard harder than most states in the

1604
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:04,239
country. And it's not too late to get

1605
01:11:02,159 --> 01:11:07,280
your flu vaccine if you haven't got it

1606
01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:09,440
already this season. Um it's not been

1607
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:11,520
too long since we have come out of a

1608
01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:15,920
global pandemic. So we all know what to

1609
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:17,920
do with these sorts of um uh situations.

1610
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:20,800
You know, stay home when you're sick,

1611
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:24,560
wear a mask, wash your hands, don't

1612
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:26,719
cough with your mouth open. Um and so

1613
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:28,640
hopefully everyone can stay well this

1614
01:11:26,719 --> 01:11:31,040
flu season. Thank you.

1615
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,880
» Thank you, Commissioner Commissioner

1616
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:35,120
Peterson Mayberry.

1617
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:39,360
» Thank you, Madam Chair. I just wanted to

1618
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:43,840
um lift up and thank um our new mayor

1619
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:46,400
for the city of Detroit um Mayor Madam

1620
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:49,360
um Sheffield um with the RX Kids

1621
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:51,840
announcement that was done last week. I

1622
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:55,360
think I know we have passed that as a as

1623
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:57,280
a body here a couple of weeks ago and we

1624
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:59,679
know that that is an extremely important

1625
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:02,000
program and when it passed the

1626
01:11:59,679 --> 01:12:04,960
commissioners who actually have Detroit

1627
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:08,080
we received lots of calls, text messages

1628
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:10,320
and emails about why Detroit was not a

1629
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,840
part of that program. And at that time,

1630
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,679
several of the leaders in Detroit

1631
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:16,000
mentioned that it was something that was

1632
01:12:13,679 --> 01:12:18,480
on their radar. And I know um Madame

1633
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,080
Sheffield um mayor, she actually talked

1634
01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:22,239
about that during her campaign. So, I'm

1635
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:24,960
just excited that the city of Detroit is

1636
01:12:22,239 --> 01:12:26,719
now um also one that's supporting RX

keep moving us forward. So, thank you.

1652
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,760
» Thank you. And the two of you must have

1653
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,040
read my notes cuz I had it for something

1654
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:16,159
to say. [laughter]

1655
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:19,280
So, thank you, Commissioner Wilson.

1656
01:13:16,159 --> 01:13:21,120
» Yeah. Just uh quickly uh

1657
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,800
just uh in addition to what uh

1658
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:26,320
Commissioner Peterson Mayberry alluded

1659
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:29,199
to, um I want to know where are we at

1660
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:33,600
with the RX kids for the for the county

1661
01:13:29,199 --> 01:13:35,600
for the the uh the indiv cities that we

1662
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:37,440
approved a few months ago. I know we had

1663
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:40,800
a discussion last time we were here

1664
01:13:37,440 --> 01:13:43,360
about uh the Michigan state legislature

1665
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:45,440
had uh

1666
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:48,880
they had dis discontinued the work

1667
01:13:45,440 --> 01:13:52,000
projects and I think uh since then uh

1668
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:54,640
attorney general Nestle uh get opine

1669
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:56,640
opined that uh that was wrong what they

1670
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:58,960
had did and they were going to uh

1671
01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:00,719
reinstitute I guess the funding. So and

1672
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:02,320
I think I heard prior to that that we

1673
01:14:00,719 --> 01:14:04,400
were not going to be impacted by that

1674
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:07,199
yet we had to vote on it. So I was

1675
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:09,679
somewhat perplexed and or confounded uh

1676
01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:10,640
in terms of where we are at as of as of

1677
01:14:09,679 --> 01:14:12,320
this date.

1678
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,400
» Do you mind if I ask the director to

1679
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:16,080
give a written report on that?

1680
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,640
» Sure. Sure. That'd be great. Thank you,

1681
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:20,239
» Director John. No, I can't see far away.

1682
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,520
If she's here, if we could get a a

1683
01:14:20,239 --> 01:14:22,800
written report to answer those

1684
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,120
questions, that would be helpful. Thank

1685
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,120
you.

1686
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,840
» Okay. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you,

1687
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,480
Madam Chair.

1688
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,440
» Thank you. Any additional Commissioner

1689
01:14:28,480 --> 01:14:32,480
Scott?

1690
01:14:29,440 --> 01:14:35,760
» Yes, I want to expound on that. also the

1691
01:14:32,480 --> 01:14:39,920
RX Kids for Detroit. I want to thank you

1692
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:43,120
for um putting it on uh guess it was on

1693
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:46,480
Facebook and you sent it to us and and

1694
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:50,320
um it was rather lengthy, but it was

1695
01:14:46,480 --> 01:14:54,159
really good to to see that and to know

1696
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:59,040
that uh we are expanding it in Detroit

1697
01:14:54,159 --> 01:15:01,040
and hopefully we can get ours going.

1698
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:04,400
And I do believe we have what was the

1699
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:07,520
the number before break was 800 people

1700
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:10,080
had um registered in Wayne County in the

1701
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:12,080
six cities and 500 were approved. Don't

1702
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,600
quote me on those numbers, but we had a

1703
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,520
great response to what we're doing in

1704
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:17,600
the six cities in Wayne County, but

1705
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,800
we'll get a written report to everyone

1706
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,440
um so you can know exactly where we

1707
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,600
stand today.

1708
01:15:19,440 --> 01:15:22,320
» Thanks again and happy new year's to

1709
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:23,520
everyone.

1710
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,040
» Happy New Year, Commissioner.

1711
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:28,320
» Good to see everybody back.

1712
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:29,360
» Yes. Amen. Healthy and back. Yes. Amen.

1713
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:32,080
Commissioner Wilson.

1714
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,679
» Yes. Just as a final comment, uh I

1715
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:36,080
suppose this is the elephant in the

1716
01:15:33,679 --> 01:15:37,600
room, but I think we all are aware of

1717
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:40,320
what happened the other day over in

1718
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:44,640
Minnesota uh with the ICE uh

1719
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:47,440
circumstances. Uh and we also uh most of

1720
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:51,040
us are probably uh cognizant of uh the

1721
01:15:47,440 --> 01:15:53,920
the rumors that there's ice facility in

1722
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:56,640
Highland Park or or potential ice

1723
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:59,199
facility in Highland Park. So I say all

1724
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:00,800
that to say this.

1725
01:15:59,199 --> 01:16:05,120
There's been obviously a lot of

1726
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:07,679
discussion uh a lot of chatter about ICE

1727
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:10,800
and uh the role that they are playing uh

1728
01:16:07,679 --> 01:16:14,159
in uh destroying neighborhoods. Uh so to

1729
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:15,520
that point uh is is there do we know if

1730
01:16:14,159 --> 01:16:17,600
there's anything going on in Highland

1731
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:19,600
Park? I'm looking at my my my

1732
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:20,800
commissioner over here, uh, Martha

1733
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,320
Scott, cuz I know that's part of your

1734
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:24,960
domain because there's been a lot of

1735
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:27,360
inquiries about these individuals and

1736
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:29,840
how they're setting up shop, uh, for the

1737
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:31,920
sole purpose of sort of uh, separating

1738
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:33,280
families and violating violating the

1739
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,800
Constitution of the United States of

1740
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:38,000
America.

1741
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:40,719
Commissioner Scott. Well,

1742
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:44,080
I have spoken to my mayor regarding this

1743
01:16:40,719 --> 01:16:48,239
and I guess just like on all of these

1744
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:51,520
states uh nobody knows you know that man

1745
01:16:48,239 --> 01:16:53,360
up there that's supposed to be heading

1746
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:58,239

01:16:53,360 --> 01:17:00,080
uh is um just sends people in and uh I

1748
01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:03,440

to send up uh the state rep, state

1753
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:20,320
senator, and my mayor and myself.

1754
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,560
» Let us know if we can be helpful for

1755
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:23,600
those individuals who would like to be.

1756
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,560
Okay. Thank you.

1757
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:24,960
» Thank you, Madam Chair.

1758
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:25,920
» Thank you.

1759
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,640
» Thank you, Commissioner.

1760
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:30,880
» Thank you, Commissioner Scott.

1761
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:34,239
» Thank you, Madam Chair. First, I would

1762
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:36,480
like to thank all of my colleagues for

1763
01:17:34,239 --> 01:17:39,520
renewing your trust in me to serve as

1764
01:17:36,480 --> 01:17:41,840
the vice chair prom uh on the Wayne

1765
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:44,960
County Commission. I appreciate all of

1766
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:47,679
your support. Madame Chair, this morning

1767
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:49,760
I'm making comments not about tragedies

1768
01:17:47,679 --> 01:17:52,159
in the Middle East. It seems to be a

1769
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:55,520
daily occurrence in the Middle East, but

1770
01:17:52,159 --> 01:17:59,280
I'm making comments about what happened

1771
01:17:55,520 --> 01:18:00,960
yesterday in in Minnesota. As my uh

1772
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:04,239
colleague, Commissioner Wilson alluded

1773
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:06,880
to, you know, the killing of Renee Good

1774
01:18:04,239 --> 01:18:10,320
by ICE agents in Minneapolis is a tragic

1775
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:13,040
and unjustifiable act of violence.

1776
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:16,159
I mean, we must all condemn the use of

1777
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:18,719
excessive force and brutality by law

1778
01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:21,360
enforcement agents against innocent

1779
01:18:18,719 --> 01:18:23,600
citizens. Renee Good was a beloved

1780
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:27,040
mother of her community and her life was

1781
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:28,159
cut short in a senseless and unnecessary

1782
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:30,560
manner.

1783
01:18:28,159 --> 01:18:33,760
This incident highlights the need for

1784
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:36,159
accountability and reform with ICE and

1785
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:38,880
law enforcement agencies to prevent such

1786
01:18:36,159 --> 01:18:41,760
tragedies from happening again. What

1787
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:43,840
happened yesterday was not self-defense

1788
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:47,440
as the administration came out and and

1789
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:50,560
and portrayed. This was a murder in cold

1790
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:53,520
blood. Our thoughts and prayers are with

1791
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:55,840
this family and the loved ones of Renee

1792
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:58,080
Good during this difficult time. Can you

1793
01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:01,120
imagine this mother dropped off her

1794
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:04,320
six-year-old daughter in school?

1795
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:07,440
Now the six-year-old has no mother. She

1796
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:10,320
lost her mother in cold blood. It's very

1797
01:19:07,440 --> 01:19:12,400
tragic and we must all

1798
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:14,719
condemn this act of violence and speak

1799
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,320
out. Thank you, Madam Chair.

1800
01:19:14,719 --> 01:19:19,520
» Thank you, Commissioner. Thank you for

1801
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:21,760
those words. Any additional remarks by

1802
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:24,320
members?

1803
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:27,679
Uh let me just say again congratulations

1804
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:30,080

um and all the new city council members.

01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:41,840
I'll be in in attendance at that
