it

Because
of
this
technical
difficulty,
the
city,
you
can
call
the
city
council
members,
they
all
have
a
copy.
They
can
share
a
copy
with
you
by
email
or
or
the
all
of
them.
They
have
a
copy
of
it.
They
may
not
have
a
copy,
and
it's
available.
A
A
We
are
taking
money
that
it
being
awarded
to
the
city
of
Dearborn
Heights
back
in
2019,
responding
to
the
covert
epidemic,
to
spend
the
money
on
program
related
to
the
covert
to
the
coveted
respond
effort
to
to
deal
with
the
covet
itself
as
an
epidemic
and
the
residue
of
the
covet
after
after
that,
you
know
wind
down
due
to
too
many
factors.
One
of
them
is
that
the
city
of
Dearborn
Heights
seized
operation
for
a
while,
and
they
were
the
you
know.
Everybody
was
struggling
with
with
covert
themselves,
so
the
lack
of.
A
We
are
going
to
lose
this
money
by
by
June,
30
or
beginning
of
of
July
of
this
year.
So
we
tried
to
find
where
we
can
spend
the
money
where
there
is
a
need-
and
you
know
there
was
a
need
for
for
for
Windows
replacement
in
the
in
the
Berwin
Center
Senior
Berman
Center.
They
are
all
about
40,
50
years
old
and
they
have
very
restricted
ventilation.
A
So
now
the
new
windows
we
are
putting
there,
it
helped
ventilate
their
Center
when
there
is
a
need
for
ventilation,
for
whatever
reason
is
ventilation
of
the
of
the
senior
centers
are
part
of
you
know
trying
to
minimize.
You
know
the
effect
of
the
covet
on
centers
that
the
senior
citizens
use
you
know
to
entertain.
You
know
to
entertainment,
to
recreational
sitting
down.
You
know
cultural
Gathering
and
Senior
senior
services
and
Senior
as
a
group.
They
are
qualified.
A
You
know
under
the
national,
the
national
obligations
or
national
objectives
and
sends
the
senior
centers
are,
you
know,
need
ventilation.
So
that's
the
tie
down
to
the
covet,
responding
to
the
covet,
that's
two
of
the
conditions
that
any
project
need
to
be
making
sure
to
be
qualified
to
spend
the
money
on.
So
we
satisfied
both
requirements
by
by
actually,
you
know
doing
this
project.
This
project
was
vetted.
It
was
on
our
CIP,
which
is
you
know,
the
captain
investment
a
plan.
So
that's
that's
needed.
A
It
was
planned
for
in
the
past,
and
now
we
found
you
know
the
the
the
proper
and
the
eligible
funding
for
it.
At
the
same
time,
we
utilize
the
fund
that
probably
most
likely,
will
be
lost
and
will
be.
You
know,
captured
back
by
Hud,
trying
to
see
if
they
can
spend
someone
else.
So
we
combined,
we
combined.
You
know
one
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
nine
different
programs.
A
A
The
other
one
is,
we
are
gonna,
probably
expand
about,
see
four
thousand
dollars
and
trying
to
buy
a
PPE,
which
is
personal
protection
equipment
like
Senator
Senator
sanitizers
preparing
for
in
case
that
this
is
something
coming
back.
You
know
for
masks
for
a
specialized
some
of
the
medical
necessary
for
the
senior
centers.
We
are
gonna,
try
to
go
out
for
bed
and
use
the
rest
of
the
money
and
the
the
other
one
is.
A
We
cannot
keep
for
admin
like
you
know,
trying
to
manage
this
project,
you
can
keep
about
19,
500
51.76
and
the
other
one
is
64
382
dollars.
The
the
rest
which
is
600
is
going
to
be
allocated
to
the
building
center.
Keep
keep
in
mind
that
this
this
substantial
Amendment
needed
to
be
done
because
it's
required
because
the
amount
is
over
25
percent
of
our
1
million
dollars.
So
that's
why
substantial
amendment
is
needed.
A
We
cannot
amend
it
by
by
Council
approval
for
the
amendment
we
need
to
take
it
out,
have
a
public
hearing,
as
I
said,
and
have
the
people
the
opportunity,
give
the
opportunity
to
comment
and
and
and
respond
to
their
comment
and
accommodate
their
comment.
If
there's
any
other
than
that,
we,
you
know
it's
it's
very
simple.
This
project
is
ready
to
go.
I
think
it
is
very,
very,
very
a
good
project.
A
We
are
fortunate
to
to
be
prepared
for
this
to
be
ready
to
use
the
use
this
fund
and
not
losing
this
particular
fund.
With
that
I
I
am
I,
am
done
now,
I
open
the
floor
for
questions,
I'm
gonna
say
one:
two:
three
go:
I
have
Council
Dearborn
Heights,
Council,
Pro
Tem,
honorable
Ray
Muscat
have
a
question.
B
Yes,
director
Jamal
I'm
speaking
as
a
citizen
and
not
as
a
councilman
tonight.
My
question
to
you
is
that
I
I'm
fully
aware
of
this
project,
but
are
we
going
to
have
available
funds
for
things
like
that?
Eaton
Center
for
repair
asbestos
repair
in
a
boiler,
room,
88
bathrooms?
Maybe
a
new
lighted
sign
throughout
into
some
that's
very
geared
to
the
to
the
the
seniors
plus
safety
for
the
seniors
with
the
bathroom
and
the
boiler
boiler
repair
and
the
asbestos.
Can
you
comment.
A
A
The
other
money
which
is
C
dbg
without
the
C
deceive,
covet
covert
money,
which
is
which
was
respond
to
the
covet
epidemic.
The
answer,
yes,
we
do
have
money
allocated
already
for
the
other
services.
Now
we
will
be
able
to.
We
are
flexible
and
adding
and
taken,
but
at
this
time
we
have
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
Berwin,
already
allocated
and
available
immediately
to
fund
other
activities
not
related
to
covet.
We
do
it's
already
approved
it's
in
the
process,
so
that's
gonna,
go
towards
other
repairs.
I
mean
not
repairs.
A
Other
Improvement
replacement,
like
the
like
the
havc,
which
I
talked
to
engineer
the
city,
engineer
Mr
Mr,
deep
PE,
deep
about
it.
We
cannot
go
and
and
go
out
for
bed
and
see
if
what
we
have
enough.
If
not,
we
will
add
some
money
this
this
fiscal
year,
and
this
is
sure
it's
gonna
come
in
front
of
you
sometime
later
like
in
June.
You
know
we
propose
and
we
have
public
hearings.
We
have
two
public
hearings
for
the
other
than
this.
The
cdbg
so
I
hope
I
answered
yes,
Ethan
Center.
Yes,
yes,.
B
A
A
The
only
hold
right
now
is

are
suffering.
There
is
no
contractors
out
there.
We
bid
sometimes
several
times.
