The Dearborn Heights City Council Meeting taking place Tuesday, July 14th 2020 via Zoom.

This
is
the
legacy
that
we're
leaving
for
the
future
generation
of
dearborn
heights
is
last-minute
decisions,
always
last-minute
decisions
and
not
to
have
had
the
input
of
the
residents
of
this
city
for
the
last
10
years
is
unbelievable
to
me
at
best.
Now
I
know,
as
a
city
councilman,
I
have
a
decision
to
make.
D
E
E
It
is
not
a
common
practice
to
submit
anything
prior
to
that
being
finalized.
I
have
no
problem
submitting
it
when
the
financial
report
is
ready
and
finalized,
and
that's
what
I'd
like
to
say.
I
mean
this
is
it's
the
year-end
report?
It's
not
like
a
monthly
report
like
the
other
ones.
The
monthlies
are
done
on
a
cash
basis.
E
A
C
A
A
H
What
is
the
old
saying?
It
is
better
to
stay
quiet
than
to
speak
and
let
the
whole
world
know
how
little
knowledge
you
have
on
a
subject.
Councilwoman
lisa,
hicks
clayton
is
showing
us
how
little
knowledge
she
has
on
financial
matters,
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
before
the
election
for
treasure.
A
A
A
I
J
J
J
Let's
not
forget
that
the
mayor
hired
five
hundred
dollars
an
hour
lawyer.
So
far
we
spent
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
if
we
go
to
court
on
this
issue,
we're
going
to
spend
more
money,
which
is
enough,
in
my
opinion,
to
do
the
forensic
artist
from
big
from
the
beginning
to
the
end.
I
think
we
should
you
know,
come
to
our
senses
and
stop
this.
You
know
back
and
forth
fight
and
let's
get
on
with
our
business,
because
this
is
not
your
money.
J
A
D
I
I
This
is
an
8b
whether
you
want
to
call
it
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
or
the
11th
hour
10
10
years
ago
we
were
in
a
financial
crisis
and
it
was
work
was
postponed
because
of
that-
and
I
think
this
is
a
smart
idea.
I
think
it
should
get
passed
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
in
advance
to
all
the
council
members
that
are
going
to
vote
yes
for
this,
and
that
is
it.
L
L
L
L
I'm
not
given
an
opportunity
to
raise
these
issues
if
I,
if
I
try
to
raise
them.
So
that's
why
I'm
raising
the
issues
at
this
point
and
I'm
not
charging
for
the
time
consistent
with
what
I've
stated
to
councilman
bazi
before
with
respect
to
this,
my
point
is:
is
that
I
don't
think
the
mayor's
veto,
nor
the
comments
that
I've
raised
have
ended
up
having
to
say
that
you
cannot
do
a
financial
review.
L
It's
just
a
comment
about
how
it
should
end
up
being
pursued
and
trying
to
make
sure
that,
for
example,
you
don't
violate
the
open
meetings
act
and
that
you
also
are
in
a
position
where
you
know,
for
example,
are
you
paying
2
250
per
hour
for
raymond
robeson?
Are
you
paying
375
dollars
per
hour?
Very
simple
things
like
that
who's?
The
contract
with
there
is
no
clarity
with
regard
to
that,
because,
frankly,
these
issues
should
have
been
clarified
in
advance
and
they
haven't
done
so.
These
issues
should
still
be
clarified.
L
If
they
are,
you
can
still
proceed
with
your
financial
review
and
I
think
until
you
know,
what's
going
to
happen
or
have
some
sort
of
maximum
amounts
involved
in
in
this
any
sort
of
an
agreement.
It's
very
difficult
to
say
how
much
is
going
to
end
up
being
incurred
with
regard
to
this
financial
review.
Okay,.
A
M
D
D
A
D
Yeah
and
there's
so
much
charging
going
on
about
the
covet.
I
I
understand
we're
gonna
pay
it,
but
we
need
to
curtail
it
a
little
bit
here.
Okay,
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
on
something
that's
coming
from
the
governor's
office
and
probably
the
attorney
general's
office
has
already
looked
at
it.
So
that's
my
main
concern
about
about
that
and
the
other
one
question
I
have
is
on
631
the
water
main
on
the
on
on
that
it
says
cdbg.
O
I
would
like
to
send
this
to
director
salome,
I'm
not
really
sure
we
did
contribute
ourselves
to
150
000
to
the
water
main.
However,
I
really
cannot
speak,
of
which
one
this
is
and
what
the
cost
is.
If
we
did
pay
some
money
into
it,
that's
probably
what
it
is.
We
did
contribute
250
000
last
year
to
the
water
main,
but
I
don't
have
the
documentation
to
support
which
one
and
director
stella
will
be
the
one
to
answer
that.
D
O
I
don't
have
that
information
in
front
of
me
councilman.
If
we
paid
for
it
again,
we
paid
250
000
to
order
water
main,
and
then
I
believe
we
did
pay
some
money
for
the
planning
for
the
new
water
main
the
engineering
that
is
now
how
director
salami
split
that
out,
I
don't
know,
I
don't
have
that
documentation
in
front
of
me.
I
think
that
question
should
be
answered
by
the
director.
D
D
A
P
A
F
I
move
that
we
concur
with
public
works
director
john
selmey,
who
has
reviewed
all
the
grass
cutting
bids
received,
and
it
is
the
recommendation
of
the
department
to
that
city
council
that
we
award
the
contract
to
artistic
landscaping
and
lawn
service,
an
amount
four
thousand
dollars
per
cup
for
all
city
owned
properties
listed
in
the
bid
document,
and
this
takes
effect
on
july.
The
1st
2020.
F
A
F
Q
Again,
you
know
I'm
not
comfortable
voting
for
this
one.
Like
I
mentioned
before
you
know,
items
under
15
asked
companies
to
have
worksman
comp
insurance
and
this
one
particular
company
does
not.
You
know
I
looked
it
up
again
and
it
still
does
not
have
it,
and
I
I
know
that
the
director
mentioned
that
somebody
they
can
hold
us.
You
know
there's
a
harmless
agreement.
I
don't
agree
with
that.
We
still
the
city
of
dearborn
heights
is
still
liable
if
any
of
their
employees
get
hurt
on
a
job.
Q
I
think
a
city
of
dearborn
heights
is
still
liable.
So
again,
I'm
not
comfortable
with
that
voting
on
this
one,
and
you
know
just
because
somebody
doesn't
have
insurance.
You
know
I
give
an
edge
over
this
contract
and
I'm
you
know
what
the
director
mcintyre
mentions.
You
know,
like
you
know,
he's
he's
trashing
another
company
which
is
pretty
unprofessional.
Q
A
E
E
So
that's
why
the
city?
When
we
do
our
bids,
we
ask
for
liability
insurance
because
it
doesn't
fall
on
us
if
he
has
the
insurance
or
not
for
his
employees.
It
falls
on
the
liability
insurance.
If
something
happens,
while
they're
mowing-
and
you
know
they
smash
into
a
vehicle
or
whatever
accident
or
something
happens
so.
Q
Q
And
another
thing
is
we
asked
dpw
to
also
quote
the
same
jobs.
I
have
not
seen
anything
from
dpw.
I
asked
that
few
months
back
before
covet
that
when
you
guys
put
this
in
front
of
us,
we
like
to
find
out
what
it
would
take
to
bring
it
in
house
and
for
dpw
to
do
the
same
job
and
that
has
not
been
provided
yet.
N
So,
with
the
with
the
quote,
that's
provided
it's
going
to
be
about
anywhere
from
forty
eight
thousand
to
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
for
the
entire
season
to
cut
the
grass
that
would
barely
employ
one
employee
with
benefits
and
legacy
costs
so
and
currently
we're
down.
Four
positions.
To
try
to
hire
people
right
now
is
is
very
difficult
is
something
they
look
that
hard
and
that's
the
best
spots
that
I
can
give
you
that
is
most
cost
effective
to
do
it.
This
way.
M
R
Yeah
I
just
in
response-
I
I
I
didn't
bash
a
company.
I
told
you
what
I
was
getting
from
a
company.
I
did
mention
that
when
I
first
came
here-
and
I
put
the
disclaimer
in
there
that
what
I
was
referring
to
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
contractors
that
are
applying
for
this
position,
I
made
that
very
clear,
but
I
did
wanted
to
show
you
the
progression
of
when
I
first
came
here.
R
We
had
a
lot
of
contractors
that
I
felt
were
over
inflating
invoices
and
we're
now
with
a
company
that
I've
never
ever
had
to
be
concerned
about
that.
So,
if
you
heard
it
that
way,
councilman
bezzie,
I
apologize
if
you,
if
you
heard
it
that
way.
So
that's
that
was
not
my
intention
to
do
that,
but
I
will
say
I
was
asked
directly
by
one
of
the
one
of
your
colleagues
to
to
tell
me
the
difference
of
good
and
bad
of.
R
Why
I
I
I
wanted
why
I'm
going
with
the
company
that
I'm
recommending-
and
I
thought
I
did
it
very
diplomatically-
I
thought
I
did
it
respectfully
by
by
just
going
with
the
the
compliments
of
the
company
that
we
have
the
reason,
if
you,
the
other
question
you
said,
is
why
are
we
going
out
for
bid?
Well,
you
asked
me
to
go
out
for
bed.
I
never
wanted
to
go
out
for
bed.
I
wanted
to
stay
with
the
company.
That's
doing
the
best
job
so.
P
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
councilman
bazi.
Do
you
mean
that
artistic
doesn't
have
workers
comp
insurance
for
their
employees,
you're,
not
saying
that
they
should
have
workers
comp
that
you're
saying
that
artistic?
It
appears
to
you
that
artistic
does
not
have
workers
comp
for
their
artistic
employees.
Is
that
correct.
Q
P
R
And
did
you
all
receive
a
letter
from
artistics
insurance
agent
where
he
carries
his
coverage
because
I
got
one
and
I
assume
that
you
were
all
copied
on
it,
where
it
states
that
he
has
liability
coverage
twice
the
amount
that
we're
asking
for
and
he
has
workers
workers
not
workmen's,
but
workers
compensation
insurance.
So
I'm
not
sure.
F
This
is
for
director
mcintyre.
I
just
wanted
to
to
get
a
clarification
and
that's
not
the
main
factor,
but
it's
a
factor
for
me.
I
always
prefer
that
we
go
with
local
companies,
local
dublin
heights
companies
that
are
from
dividend
heights.
So
the
question
I
have
for
you,
the
third
company
was
not
a
anything
to
do.
It
had
nothing
to
do
with
duplicates.
I
think
I
really
think
in
this
particular
case.
It
really
should
be
a
local
company
because
of
the
logistics.
Mr
constant.
I
F
R
R
F
Okay,
the
second
question
I
have
for
you-
and
this
may
be
appropriate
awkward
or
just,
but
I'm
just
gonna
talk
about
the
elephant
room.
Does
anybody
in
this
city-
and
I'm
just
this-
is
across
the
board?
Everybody
from
a
to
z
in
the
city
have
any
type.
So
this
is
not
mentored.
Somebody
specific
have
any
type
of
affiliation.
R
R
R
I
do
have
one
question:
if
you
don't
mind,
I
I
I'm
sorry,
but
I
didn't
realize
that
I
could
actually
put
this
on
the
agenda
today,
because
I
thought
I
had
to
wait
for
the
study
session
before
I
could
do
that.
I
guess
mr
sami
was
sat
more
savvy
than
I
was
and
just
assumed
that
this
was
the
study
session
was
going
to
take
place
today.
P
A
Q
A
B
A
B
A
D
A
F
A
A
F
F
Three
hundred
thousand
a
bond
would
be
spread.
This
would
spread
this
cost
over
many
years,
as
reflected
in
the
current
and
future
water
budgets
prepared
with
the
assistance
of
plant
moran,
and
he
mentions
that
without
bonding,
this
cost
would
drastically
increase
in
water
rates
over
the
next
few
years.
F
D
Chair
we
had
a
study
session
on
this
and
what
we
discussed
was
a
30
million
dollar
bond,
and
here
it's
only
16
million
300
000
one
I'd
like
to
know
what
we're
going
to
be
approving
here.
Is
it
just
a
163
or
close
to
30
million
dollars
and
as
far
as
the
other
things
that
were
spoken
about
earlier
today
in
the
public
comments
about
the
city
was
not
in
a
financial
position
to
do
this?
That's
hogwash,
okay!
This
was
something
that
would
have
been
paid
for
anyway,
it's
been
10
years.
D
H
So
what
I
basically
did
was
take
out
the
water
meter
project
and
thought
that
that
might
be
because
that's
discretionary,
but
these
three
projects
are
mandated
because
city
of
dearborn
was
forced
by
the
state
to
do
their
cso
projects.
Inkster
has
done
theirs
and
we're
just
the
strip
area
of
dearborn
heights
is
in
the
middle
and
the
state
wants
to
get
that
done.
So
the
resolution
that
really
needs
to
be
passed
was
that
resolution
that
bond
console
prepared.
H
I
was
simply
lowering
the
figure
down
because
I
don't
see
how
we
can
get
out
of
the
l43
41
and
42
cso
projects,
but
the
water
main
is
discretionary,
and
I
would
also
so
I
kind
of
came
up
with
a
number,
but
that's
what
I
did.
I
took
those
I
took
that
project
out,
but
if
I
had
it
all
over
to
do,
I
would
have
put
the
800
000
in
for
the
changing
the
lead
leads
to
the
people's
homes
council,
chair.
D
Because
it
does
concern
the
just
the
16
million
300
000,
and
I
do-
and
I
do
also
believe,
though,
the
water
meters
are
not
that
big,
not
mandatory,
but
I
do
believe
that
the
water
main
leads
to
the
homes
must
be
included.
So
if
the,
if
the
project
was
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars,
that
should
be
included
in
this
motion
because
we
can't
have
people
with
lead
in
their
water
can't
have
it.
I
won't
vote
on
this
at
all.
If
that's
not
included,
people
need
to
have
safe
drinking
water.
N
Yes,
thank
you
just
a
couple
clarifications
here:
the
red
water.
The
lead
line
replacement
program
is
already
in
place.
It's
already
a
budgeted
item
in
the
current
water
and
sewer
budget.
We
are
moving
forward
with
that.
That's
not
a
part
of
this
bond
sale.
The
l43
is
underway
now
that
construction
is
currently
starting
started
last
week,
that
could
be
part
of
the
bond
sale,
but
the.
J
N
Line
is
a
budgeted
item
and
this
budget
has
it's
not
anything
to
do
with
the
upcoming
bond
sale.
If
the
council
decided
to
go
in
that
direction,
l43
is
a
funded
project.
Within
this
current
budget.
Also,
the
thought
was
from
the
bound
council
was
to
use
money
from
the
bond
sale
to
help
pay
l43,
so
he
didn't
drain
down
the
cash
account
in
the
water
fund.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
this
this
is
also
I
mean
I.
I
don't
agree
with
that.
Today's
technology
we
we
can
still
have
the
town
hall
meetings
with
you
know
virtual
meeting
with
residents.
The
other
thing
is
it's.
You
know
director
selmy
already

We
we
already
budgeted
for
the
for
the
lead
issue,
and
the
other
thing
is
the
vagueness
of
this.
Q
This
thing
here
you
know
you're
mentioning
okay,
approximate
cost
of
16
million
300
000
and
again
you
know
it's
it's
it's
approximate,
there's
no
actual
cost
and
also
you're
talking
about
the
cost.
This
cost
over
many
years
as
reflected
in
the
current
water
budget.
So
I
mean
it's
pretty
vague
and
again
you
know
we
don't.
I
don't
feel
comfortable
voting
for
this
much
money
without
residence.
D
Again,
I'm
gonna,
I
know
as
long
as
it's
16
million
300
000,
because
that's
what's
on
the
paper,
if
that,
if
this
is
what
we're
going
to
be
voting
on,
I'm
okay
with
it,
I
just
don't
want
it
to
come
back,
say
well,
it
was
for
the
you
know.
The
the
30
million
that
we
were
talking
about
so
16
million
300
is
what
we're
gonna
vote
on.
Am
I
correct.
P
D
H
Dollars
what
we,
what
we
need
to
do
and
I'll
bring
it
up
at
the
next
meeting,
is
bond
council
is
not
part
of
this
meeting,
but
bond
council
get
very
conservative,
so
they'll
jump
it
up
a
little
bit
higher
than
16
million
three.
But
my
intent
was
that
with
the
ongoing
of
l
43
and
having
to
do
41
and
42
that
we
bond
for
that,
I
apologize
for
the
800
000.
D
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah.
I
don't
hear
anyone
saying
that,
as
far
as
the
improvements
to
the
sewer
system
that
are
mandated,
that
we
shouldn't
do
them
they're
required.
The
issue
is
how
we're
going
to
pay
for
them
and
if
we
don't
bond,
if
we
upped
our
water
rates,
400
percent,
it
would
be
a
disaster.
If
we
had
a
town
hall
meeting,
I
would
think
generally
number
one
we'd
be
the
first
city
that
has
a
town
hall
meeting
about
issuing
municipal
bonds
and
number
two.
The
residents
will
just
hear.
P
M
P
F
Hi
a
couple
different
questions:
the
first
question
because
of
the
covet
situation
right
now
and
a
lot
of
people
either
out
of
work
or
making
less
money
or
their
business
is
not
making
the
same
amount
of
money
personally
I'd
rather
delay
any
type
of
charges
to
residents
as
much
as
possible.
So
the
first
question
I
have
and
I'm
gonna
ask
four
different
questions:
I'm
gonna
make
them
short
is:
can
this
be
in
and
they're
kind
of
interrelated?
One
of
them
is.
Can
this
be
delayed?
F
F
The
third
question
is:
if
we
did
bond
it
out,
how
much
cost
would
that
be
to
the
average
resident
so
based
on
average,
suvs,
the
equalized
value
and
and
the
millage
rate
for
that
and
I'm
sorry
the
boundary
for
that?
How
much
would
it
cost
the
average
resident,
and
the
last
thing
is
a
comment
that
I
want
to
make
is
I
can
tell
you
based
on
my
business.
Obviously,
the
interest
rates
are
unbelievably
low
right
now,
so
that
particular
advantage.
F
N
Yep
I
can
answer
the
first
one
anyways,
so
on
june
30th
I
sent
an
email
to
the
deputy
director
of
eagle
regarding
the
permits
that
this
falls
under
I
told
him.
I
asked
him
that
the
city
is
planning
is
in
the
planning
and
financing
process
of
the
three
rouge
outfalls.
The
city
council
is
requesting
something
in
writing
from
ego,
for
these
projects
are
mandated
or
part
of
the
permit
to
make
the
city
in
compliance
he
wrote
back
will
do.
N
Let
me
talk
a
permit
section
and
the
district
and
respond
yes,
correction
is
required.
Thanks
and
I
haven't
seen
we
see
every
anything
since
so
I
I
am
proactively
reaching
out
to
them
to
see.
If
there's
you
know
a
time
frame
that
we
can
push
this
down,
you
know
push
it
out
a
year
or
so,
but
I
mean
it's
not
gonna
be
something
long
term.
It's
to
your
point.
It
would
be
something
short
term,
but.
F
Even
if,
but
even
for
what's
a
short
term
director
at
least
it'll
give
people
a
little
bit
of
a
chance
to
get
back
into
the
norms
of
making
whatever
income
you
know
most
people
had.
I
know
people
are
struggling
nowadays.
I
know
there's
unemployment,
that
they
pay
and
all
that,
but
obviously
it's
ending
at
the
end
of
this
month.
So
I'd
rather
delay
that
and
then
the
second
question
was:
how
much
would
it
cost
the
city
if
we
went
with
this
but
did
not
bond
it
out?
Yes,.
N
Yep,
so
I
I
can't
give
you
that
number
off
the
top
of
my
head
we'd
have
to
redo
the
model,
because
when
we
did,
the
model
was
with
the
26
million
in
there.
If
you
did
it
solely
on
the
back
of
rates,
it
would
be,
it
would
be
significant,
but
my
suggestion
would
maybe
we
have
another
study
session
with
bond
council
and
with
plant
moran.
We
can
lower
that
number
and
you
can
look
at
what
it
does
to
the
rates
with
a
bond
and
without
a
bond.
N
N
D
Council
chair,
yes
again,
you
know,
I
raised
a
big
stink
about
this,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
is:
is
it
was
explained
that
this
is
the
intent
to
bond
we're,
not
bonding
anything?
So
if
we're
just
going
to
have
an
intent
to
bond,
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
go
vote
for
that
intent
of
bonding
and
still
have
the
study
session.
Would
that
be
correct?
Mr
mayor.
H
L
S
F
P
A
F
P
C
Yeah
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
yeah,
I'm
pretty
disturbed
about
the
fact
that
we
were
going
to
vote
and
there
were
some
people
actually
ready
to
vote
on
something
that
we
don't
even
know.
I
know
we're
recommending
it
suggesting
it.
The
amount
was
spent.
What's
what's
going
to
be
spent
there
what's
what's
going
to
be
spent
on
it?
It
was
ridiculous
that
we
even
had
this
discussion
with
all
these
figures
being
thrown
around
and
contradicted.
C
A
C
A
A
Is
we're
going
to
be
referring
it
back
to
administration,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
that
was
opposed
there.
You
go
okay.
Next
item
on
the
agenda,
is
veto
of
motion
approving
resolution
of
the
dearborn
high
school
related
to
the
initiation
of
financial
review
at
this
time.
I'd
like
to
ask
mr
clerk,
would
you
please
read
the
chart.
B
B
Such
proceedings
will
then
become
effective
on
the
following
day.
Succeeding
such
meeting
of
the
council,
an
ordinance
is
so
passed,
shall
become
effective
immediately
there
upon
publication,
no
ordinance
resolution
or
other
proceedings
shall
be
published
until
the
meeting
following
the
meeting,
at
which
said
ordinance
resolution
or
proceeding,
was
adopted.
A
A
D
A
P
Q
D
C
C
I
L
A
A
A
The
court
of
appeals
also
found
that
mayor
pluck
will
wasted
the
city
council's
time
and
resources,
as
well
as
causing
unnecessary
drain
on
judicial
resources
by
pursuing
the
appeal.
That
is
all
in
your
opinion,
despite
losing
in
the
court
on
an
appeal.
The
mayor
continues
to
delay
a
lawful
investigation
by
issuing
a
beetle
on
a
unanimous
council
resolution
to
proceed
with
the
investigation.
In
that
statement,
the
mayor
generated
his
old
argument.
A
That
financial
review
is
unnecessary
because
the
city
books
are
audited
by
chet
moran.
When
the
mayor
could
certainly
understand
that
his
folks
have
served
are
entirely
different.
The
mayor
and
attorney
miyaki's,
unsupported
and
false
claims
that
the
an
assignment
agreement
was
not
provided
to
the
city
of
dearborn
heights
council,
as
well
as
the
false
claim
that
the
outmost
firm
has
been
dissolved
and
the
mayor
refuses
to
recognize
that
cooperative
purchase
agreements
such
as
my
deal
are
still
practiced
for
most
municipalities
in
the
state
of
michigan.
A
Mayor
pleco
is
dangerously
quote
to
malfeasance
in
office
by
voting
a
resolution
to
by
vetoing
a
resolution
to
implement
a
contract
that
has
been
lawfully
approved
by
the
city
and
blessed
by
the
courts.
It
is
deeply
disturbing
that
attorney
gary
miyake
has
assisted
in
drafting
the
final
message
before
mayor
palutko,
the
contract
and
the
investigation
are
legal.
The
city's
attorney
is
supposed
to
represent
the
city,
yet
he
is
charging
the
city
for
time
to
provide
the
mayor
with
political
problems.
A
F
Oh
I'm
sorry,
I
move
that
we
concur
with
mayor
dan
paletko
for
the
city
of
dublin
heights
proposed
sanitation,
military
renewal
and
the
city
of
david
hodge
should
be
authorized
to
renew
the
levy
previously
approved
under
section
10
that
I'm
sorry
period.
1
of
the
city
charter
of
up
2.9
of
one
mill
for
10
years
commencing
on
2021,
and
this
is
outlined
in
item
9b
support.
A
F
I
move
that
we
concur
with
public
works
director
john
selmey.
The
department
of
public
works
is
requesting
approval
to
engage
the
professional
services
of
roofing
technology
associates.
Limited
rta
will
assist
the
city
with
the
roofing
specifications
and
bidding
documents
for
the
replacement
of
the
roof
at
the
city
hall.
The
proposal
cost
is
eight
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
and
is
budgeted
in
the
city,
building
and
maintenance
department,
capital
outlay,
and
also
to
authorize
payment,
as
outlined
in
item
9c.
F
So
I
had
to
I
had
a
question
for
thank
you
councilman,
so
I
had
a
question
for
directors.
Tell
me
I
have
a
very
serious
problem
and
maybe
clarify
for
me,
but
if
we're
gonna
go
out
for
bids
for
a
roofing
contractor
to
do
the
roof
on
the
city,
you
know
at
city
hall,
eight
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
for
somebody
to
do
the
bidding
for
us.
You
know
just
logically,
I
have
a
problem
with
that.
F
If
we
had
it
out
for
bids
to
replace
the
roof
and
obviously
whoever
is
replacing
rough
company,
a
b
or
c
would
also
have
the
specifications
I
just
I
I
in
my
mind
at
least
I
can't
clarify
why
we
need
to
pay
an
additional
eight
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
for
a
company
to
do
the
bidding
for
us
can.
Can
you
clarify
that
for
me,
please
well.
N
N
All
right,
can
you
hear
me
now
yeah
much
better,
okay.
So
as
far
as
the
technical
part
of
that,
that's
not
that's.
Beyond
my
my
scope,
the
the
roof,
I'm
told
has
three
layers
on
there.
It
needs
to
be
stripped
down
to
the
deck
the
specifications
come
in
as
the
type
of
material,
the
warranties
the
workmanship
I
reached
out
to
waitram.
They
didn't
have
anybody
in
house
that
could
do
that
kind
of
work,
and
this
is
how
we
found
this
company.
This
is
what
they
do.
N
They
assist
a
lot
of
commercial
businesses
and
developing
the
specifications
to
go
out
to
bed.
You
know
I
can
put
a
bid
spec
together
and
you
know,
and
for
it
comes
in
and
the
roof
leaks
in
a
year
because
of
my
inability
to
know
exactly
what
type
of
material
and
how
to
install
it
and
warranties
and
stuff.
Like
that,
I
mean
I
would
suggest
this
is
like
an
insurance
policy,
but
I
mean
this
is
a
recommendation
to
the
council
and
the
council
can
do
you
know.
F
And
ignore
my
ignorance
on
this,
I'm
just
thinking
logically,
and
I
don't
understand-
I
know
a
home
is
much
easier,
obviously
yeah,
but
if
I
was
getting
company
to
do
concrete
or
rough
or
at
a
garage
or
whatever
it
is,
I
mean
I
get
three
four,
five,
six,
whatever
it
is
different
bids
and
I
take
a
look
at
them
and
I
just
see
which
one
jives
best.
Maybe
in
this
particular
case,
maybe
if
you
get
four
or
five
bids,
you
could
show
it
to
plant
moran
and
maybe
at
a
much
cheaper
cost.
F
N
Yeah
so
well,
I
did
reach
out
to
the
company
that
did
a
couple
other
city
buildings
and
it's
about
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
My
thought
was
the
com.
The
council
would
be
a
little
bit
uncomfortable
with
me
coming
there
and
say
I
want
to
award
a
contract
for
350
000
to
this
contractor
to
do
the
rough,
but
if
that's
the
direction
of
the
council,
I
will
I'll
gladly
do
that.
I
mean
I'm
just
trying
to
follow
a
charter
and
do
the
things
the
right
way
and
in
all
honesty
and
transparency.
N
Here,
I'm
not
a
commercial
roof
expert
by
any
means,
and
so
I
was
looking
for
some
assistance,
and
this
is
something
that
we
spoke
about
in
the
budget
hearings
and
so
trying
to
move
this
forward.
You
know
obviously
we're
into
july.
You
know
before
we
know
it's
going
to
be
october
november
before
we,
you
know
like
to
get
a
roof
on
before
the
end
of
the
year,
but
certainly
I'll
take
some.
You
know,
advice
from
council
and
do
whatever
it
is
that
they'd
prefer
me
to
do.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Q
Okay,
so
this
is
again,
you
know
I
have
the
same
issue
with
with
the
8600.
I
saw
an
email
a
few
weeks
ago.
I
can't
remember
I
was
trying
to
look
for
it
earlier.
Like
I
mean
I
I
know
I
know
we
have
it.
It
was
addressed
to
all
the
council,
and
also
it
was
directed
at
the
director,
mr
selmy,
that
this
company
was
going
to
be.
Q
They
were
going
to
come
and
do
the
same
thing
for
free,
so
they
were
going
to
give
us
the
same
service
for
free,
but
they
were
I've,
never
seen
any
email
traffic
that
was
replied
to
all
the
council
and
including
that
the
person
that
who
sent
that
email.
So
what?
What
was
the
outcome
of
that
email?
Mr
stanley,.
N
I
personally
don't
recall
seeing
that
email,
but
I
could
have,
but
I
think
if
I
recall
when
you
were
talking
about,
they
were
interested
in
bidding
on
the
project
is
what
they
said.
I'm
sure
I
have
it
somewhere.
I
mean
you
guys.
Don't
want
me
to
do
this.
I'm
okay
with
that
and
I'll
go
knock
on
three
doors
and
bring
three
vendors
in
my
concern
is,
though,
who
I'm
I'm
not
the
expert
on
type
of
roofing
and
how
that
how
that
is
installed?
N
How
is
how
how
the
three
roofs
are
removed
down
to
the
decking,
to
assure
that
this
roof
has
a
30-year
lifespan?
You
know
I'm
open
for
suggestions,
I'm
I'm
not
here
to
to
work
for
this
guy
or
anybody.
I'm
just
trying
to
do
the
right
thing
for
the
for
the
taxpayers.
So
whatever
your
direction
is
I'll
be
glad
to
do.
Q
N
So
so
I'd
have
the
company
that
has
done
two
other
city
buildings
for
350
000
was
his
estimate.
Would
the
council
be
comfortable
with
me
just
coming
to
to
the
council
and
say:
okay
go
ahead?
I
want
you
to
prove
this
guy
for
350
and
then
every
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
do
here.
The
council
wants
them
to
be
bid
out.
So
I'm
trying
to
put
it
out.
So
I'm
getting
a
little
contradiction
here.
So
I
just
need
some
direction.
D
To
to
everybody
involved,
replacing
a
roof
on
a
commercial
building
is
far
far
different
than
replacing
a
a
roof
on
a
home.
Commercial
and
home
are
two
different
things.
I
believe
city
hall
has
a
metal
decking
which
could
be
rotted
out.
I
think
the
8
600
would
be
wise
to
spend
for
a
complete
inspection
and
give
the
director
sell
me
some
idea
what
he's
really
dealing
with
he
doesn't
know.
I
don't
know
until
you
can
really
be
ready
to
get
in
here
and
dig
and
find
out
to
me.

F
N
N
N
D
Yeah,
you
know
just
to
reiterate
what
the
deputy
or
the
director
of
selmi
said.
You
know
77
000
miles
on
a
f-150
pickup
truck.
If
I
was
driving
it,
it's
not
even
broken
in
yet
you
put
that
same
mileage
on
a
pickup
truck
that
dpw
use
it.
You
might
as
well
say
it's
got
300
000
miles
on
it,
so
you
know
the
way
that
the
vehicles
are
used.
We've
got
to
take
in
consideration.
N
B
A
A
D
D
A
F
That's
for
the
truck
and
trailer
specialties
for
the
build-out
of
this
dump
truck
and
underbody
scraper
in
in
amount.
Eighty
four
thousand,
eight
hundred
and
thirty
five.
The
total
amount
for
this
vehicle
is
a
hundred
and
seventy
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty,
and
this
is
as
outlined
in
item
nine
h,
support.
P
N
A
A
M
A
F
S
In
addition
to
not
just
you
know,
delivering
to
households,
we
were
doing
something
with
schools
and
having
initiative
to
deliver
to
them,
and
as
I
mentioned
at
the
budget
hearing,
you
know
our
our
existing
model.
Where
you
know
an
individual's
car
can
get
used
for
small
trips.
You
know
a
meeting
or
two.
You
know
a
little
pickup
from
a
store.
That's
okay
for
an
individual,
but
more
and
more
it's.
S
Our
insurance
company
does
not
recommend
that
library
employees
use
their
own
vehicles
all
the
time
and
but
yeah
in
terms
of
what
we're
looking
to
do,
I'm
gonna
try
to
find
the
best
vehicle
I
can
for
the
dollar
amount,
given
at
30,
000
or
less.
We
should
get
a
pretty
decent
vehicle,
pretty
decent
mileage
and
we'll
try
to
do
the
best
we
can
it.
S
D
D
S
But
when
I
was
looking
at
this-
and
I
was
looking
at
this
many
months
ago,
before
coveted
hit,
it
didn't
seem
to
be
the
best
option
at
that
particular
time
to
lease
based
on
what
we
were
doing
and
again,
our
situation
is
very
different
than
what
ordinance
is
doing
in
other
departments.
The
vehicle
we
were
looking
at
the
lease
didn't
seem
to
didn't
seem
to
work
out
in
terms
of
the
actual
cost
that
that
makes.
A
S
Transit
well
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
when
I'd
written
in
the
letter
we've
had
research
this
in
terms
of
what
vehicles
we
could
use,
and
there
was
always
something
missing.
For
instance,
we
want
two
people
to
be
able
to
be
in
the
vehicle
for
delivery
reasons,
so
we
want
a
passenger
seat.
Some
vehicles
didn't
have
a
passenger
seat.
Some
vehicles
needed
a
large
cargo.
S
We
needed
a
large
cargo
capacity
because
we're
putting
crates
and
books
in
this
particular
vehicle,
which
is
going
to
have
a
lot
of
weight
so
that
vehicle
has
to
be
able
to
handle
a
lot
of
weight.
Some
vehicles
didn't
qualify
for
that
some
needed
some
kind
of
a.
I
keep
forgetting.
What's
called
the
metal
shield,
you
put
to
make
sure
the
thing
the
books
don't
slide
up
and
hit
the
driver.
S
That
needs
to
be
make
sure
make
sure
that
that's
in
the
vehicle,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
it's
got
a
number
of
different
things
in
it
that
work,
and
we
also
want
some
degree
of
quality.
I
mean
we
don't
want
to
get
a
vehicle
from
you
know.
That's
just
going
to
break
down
on
us
too
quickly
because
we're
going
to
try
to
implement
a
model
of
regular
service
in
terms
of
doing
it
but
yeah
in
either
case
we
did
look
at
vehicles
in
the
city
pool
and
it
just
they
didn't
know.
S
A
Okay,
any
further
discussion.
Madam
chair,
thank
you
mancha.
I
just
want
to
express
appreciation
and
gratitude
toward
library,
director,
michael
mccaffrey
and
its
crew.
His
staff
they've
done
a
phenomenal
job
during
the
cobid,
with
providing
a
service
to
our
residents
continued
service,
including
the
home
delivery
of
all
these
craft
kits
and
things
for
families,
and
I
think
that's
a
great
job
well
done.
B
A
P
A
Q
A
F
F
I
move
that
we
concur
with
police
chief
mark
myers,
requesting
purchase
and
payment
of
the
following:
80
msa
millennium.
Full
mat
full
face,
masks,
80,
msa,
millennium
cbrn,
canister,
filter
and
36
millennium
mass
carry
pouches,
and
this
would
be
the
total
amount
for
this
equipment
is
55
336,
which
will
be
paid
from
the
bga
coronavirus.
Emergency
supplemental
funding
grant
is
outlined
in
item
9m
support.
D
P
B
A
L
D
A
Listings
we
have
councilwoman
hicks
clayton
resolution
of
the
dearborn
heights
city
council
to
subpoena
rogers
from
the
comptroller
madam
chair,
councilwoman
clayton.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
move
the
city
council
adopt
the
resolution
as
presented
in
11a.
This
is
the
subpoena
records
from
the
comptroller
support
required
by
councilman
bassey.
Is
there
any
discussion.
A
A
I
want
the
history
to
be
known
and
on
the
record
that
I
made
every
attempt
to
get
this
information
for,
and
I
know
the
difference
between
a
year-end
financial
statement
and
a
monthly
expenditure
revenue
report.
We
get
monthly
expenditure
revenue
reports
every
single
month,
11
months
prior
plus
the
12th
month,
which
is
june.
We've
done
this,
in
fact,
since
2012
2013,
when
I
first
asked
about
these
reports,
because
I'm
very
familiar
with
these
reports
again,
it's
provided
for
in
the
charter.
In
fact,
the
mayor
asked
for
a
statement
from
the
council.
A
He
would
have
released
this
information
and
the
statement
he
wanted
is
across
the
top
of
these
reports.
If
you
read
it,
I
don't
know.
If
you
can
see
it,
I've
got
it
right
here,
I'll
read
it
for
everybody.
It
clearly
states
note
available
balance.
Budget
use
does
not
reflect
amounts
encumbered,
and
we
know
what
that
means.
We.
This
is
not
a
year-end
financial
statement.
A
Moran
audit
information,
okay:
this
is
a
record
that
the
council
has
every
right
to
I'm.
Just
I'm
very
sorry.
It's
come
to
this
that
we
have
to
take
a
legal
action
to
get
a
document.
That's
provided
for
in
the
charter,
and
what
I
want
to
say
is
you
know,
I
know
the
marriage
here
to
quote,
if
I
may,
please
I
think
she
or
in
this
case
he
don't
protest
too
much
and
that's
william
shakespeare.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Next
we
have
councilman.
D
I
don't
think
that
well
yeah,
you
know
I
I
don't
understand
all
of
this
year
in
records.
I
don't
know
if
comptroller
vance
could
just
give
us
what
we
spent
and
what
we
took
in
on
just
a
month
of
june,
regardless
of
its
year
in
a
year
out.
I
don't
understand
the
difference
between
the
two,
so
I'm
confused
at
best,
and
I
really
don't
open
up
a
vote
on.
A
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
heard
councilwoman
clayton
say
she
wanted
the
monthly
report
for
june.
The
next
to
last.
Paragraph
of
her
resolution
says
that
the
newborn
height
city
council
hereby
subpoenas
the
comptroller
and
the
mayor
to
produce
reports
of
estimated
and
actual
income
for
all
budgetary
accounts
for
the
year
through
june
30th
2020..
A
F
Just
want
to
stay
up,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
personally.
I've
got
a
problem
with
how
a
lot
of
the
the
stuff
that
happens
on
the
council
happens.
It's
totally.
Unlike
anything
else,
I
see
in
the
outside
world,
I
mean
I
was
always
you
know.
I
was
fighting
back
and
forth
back
and
forth
bickering
and
I'm
just
going
to
be
blunt.
Sometimes
you
know
accusations
or
words
that
maybe
are
a
little
bit
stronger
than
maybe
I
would
use
in
a
normal
at
least
business
environment.
F
You
know
when
you
use
the
words
like
you
know,
refuse
to
and
I'm
sorry
councilwoman
with
all
due
respect.
When
I
was
looking
at
the
different
emails
going
back
between
you
and
the
comptroller
and
different
council
people,
it
was
not
one
time
when
she
said
I
refuse
to
give
it
to
you.
She
just
said
it
would
not
be
ready
within
that
time
period.
F
Now
you
could
very
well
be
right,
councilwoman
and
I'm
not
saying
you're
wrong
and
she
could
be
right
or
maybe
she's
wrong,
but
I
didn't
see
anybody
refused
to
give
it
because
the
words
refused
to
give
it
implies
that
somebody's
got
it
in
their
hands
and
they
just
don't
want
to
give
it
to
you.
I
didn't
get
that
vibe
or
that
feeling
in
any
of
the
emails
and
that's
where
I've
got
a
problem,
sometimes
with
the
burgers
it's
used
on
the
council
amongst
all
of
us.
F
It
just
takes
us
down
to
a
road
like
here
that
this
financial
audit
right
now
because
of
the
budding
heads
we
spent,
probably
200
300.
Who
knows
how
many
thousand
dollars
I
mean.
I
know
the
council
chair,
somebody
mentioned
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
actually
our
our
current
treasurer
zahara
blaha.
F
I
think
it's
even
more
than
that
personally
and
I
did
ask
the
comptroller:
how
much
is
it?
I
think
it's
more
than
that,
but
it's
all
because
of
the
bickering,
this
back
and
forth
back
and
forth,
and
this
causes
this
type
of
situation.
So
all
I'm
saying
is,
I
don't
know
just
some
sort
of
decorum
and
I
know
those
words
used
before
counseling
and
I'm
not
saying
you're
not
using
it.
Maybe
this
is
not
meant
against
you,
specifically
I'm
talking
about
as
a
whole.
A
E
E
I
think
it
would
not
be
it's
not
good
to
give
out
numbers
that
aren't
accurate,
as
I
explained
in
my
emails,
because
I'm
doing
all
the
closing
processes
and
it's
a
long
process,
there's
a
lot
of
activity
at
this
city.
These
numbers
are
going
to
change
daily,
so
to
save
the
monthly
financial
for
june.
E
E
No
one
wants
to
hand
out
a
piece
of
paper
that
is
wrong
and
needs
to
be
corrected.
I
don't
want
it
distributed,
and
people
thinking
that
this
is
what
our
numbers
are
at
and,
like
I
said,
I'm
not
refusing
to
give
it
it's
just
it's
not
customary.
It's
not
best
practice
practices
and
accounting
to
give
numbers
that
aren't
reflective
of
what
actually
is
is
what
the
numbers
are
going
to
be,
and
I'm
just
asking
for
you
guys
to
wait
until
the
process
is
finished.
F
But
at
the
same
time,
though,
we
do
respect
controller.
You
got
month
number
one,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
ten
eleven,
the
twelfth
one
is
not
automatically
accumulation
of
all
of
them.
There's
the
twelfth
and
it's
on
its
own
and
then
there's
the
end
part
after
the
end
of
the
month.
M
F
The
councilwoman
is
asking
for
is
that
one
month
and
I
think
it's
fair
to
give
it
to
her.
I'm
not
saying
it's
not
fair.
I
think
it's
fair
to
give
it
to
her
and
us
in
general,
and
maybe
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
delay,
but
I
don't
necessarily
we
don't
necessarily
need
to
wait
to
accumulate
the
whole
12
months,
even
though
it
sounds
like
it's
the
same.
It's
really
not.
F
F
E
So
it
would
be
a
wrong
assumption
by
looking
at
it.
If
you
looked
at
it
and
just
compared
revenues
as
of
this
minute
and
expenditures.
As
of
this
minute,
it's
if
their
numbers
aren't
going
to
be
right,
it
could
reflect
that
one
is
higher
than
the
other
and
and
two
days
later,
it's
the
other
way.
Do
you
know
what
I'm
saying?
So
it's
not
a
good
portrayal
of
what's
going
on
because
of
all
the
adjustments
that
are
done
at
your
end
and
the
the
mayor
is
raising
his
hand,
he'd
like
to
speak
on
that.
C
D
D
E
D
D
H
If
you
check
with
any
cpa
and
ask
them
if
it
was
reasonable
that
a
city
as
large
as
dearborn
heights
would
have
its
financial
records
all
done
in
five
or
20
days,
they
would
tell
you
that
is
impossible,
and
I
had
talked
to
the
council
chair
and
I
thought
we
had
come
up
with
a
compromise
and
all
of
a
sudden.
This
thing
appears
on
the
agenda
and
is
very
vicious
and
attacking
all
of
us,
and
I,
mr
councilman
abdullah
hid
it
right.
All
you
have
to
do
is
ask
we
don't
hide
things
from
you.
H
People,
even
though
you
think
we
do
the
concern
we
have
is
if,
as
controller
advance
had
indicated,
if
we
provide
you
data,
when
we
know
it's
not
correct,
you
have
every
right
to
come
back
a
month
or
two
and
say
that
you
gave
us
bad
data.
So
what
I
had
talked
to
the
share
about
is
that
each
councilman
that
wanted
to
receive
a
preliminary
report
that
you
acknowledge
this
preliminary
report
is
not
correct.
H
I
linda
was
not
in
the
office
on
thursday,
but
we
had
this
discussion
late
thursday,
I
talked
to
linda
the
first
day.
She
came
back
at
the
department
head
meeting
at
approximately
10
or
11
o'clock
on
monday,
and
we
were
all
set
to
proceed
on
that
basis
before
we
even
got
a
chance
to.
I
get
a
revised
agenda
with
this
resolution,
ripping
everybody
and
that's
why
I
got
mad.
So
you
can
understand
why
I
got
married.
A
Thank
you
ma'am,
because
this
is
not
ripping
anybody
in
that
talk
about
strong
language.
I
mean
that
actually
contradicts
what
councilman
abdullah
had
said,
and
I
agree
with
councilman
abdullah.
We
went
through
the
process.
I
went
through
the
channels
I
asked
for
it
and
yes,
I
didn't
receive
it.
So
maybe
refuse
is
a
strong
word,
but
I've
been
civilized
the
whole
time
and
I
did
not
come
out
and
attack
somebody
at
the
beginning
and
violate
council
policies.
So
we
do
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
but
nobody's
ripping
anybody.
P
M
Q
F
C
A
D
D
C
Yeah,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
our
local,
south
and
neighborhood
watch
patrol
frank
zach
and
the
psychic
grant
who
ate
in
the
with
the
police
department
patrolling
the
businesses
and
homes
and
schools
in
the
south
end
they're
doing
a
great
job,
and
if
anybody
would
like
to
help
them
out
with
gas
cards
or
any
kind
of
auto
maintenance,
please
contact
city
city,
council,
member
they're,
doing
a
great
job,
they're
a
great
asset.
They
do
it
on
their
own.
C
They
spend
their
own
money
for
everything
two
great
guys,
and
they
need
to
be
applauded.
For
that
also,
I
was
wondering
if
we
because
of
this
covet
thing
and
that
reduced
our
number
of
trips
to
city
hall,
if
the
mayor
and
the
police
chief
could
go
back
to
having
the
police
department
deliver
our
packets
to
our
homes,
which
was
convenient
for
everyone.
The
police
are
out
anyway
and
make
making
unnecessary
trips
to
city
hall,
and
we
know
something's
some
some
positive
results
that
happened
at
city
hall
recently.
C
If
I
could
save
a
trip
with
all
the
things
I've
got
going
on,
and
also
with
this
covid
we've
got
a
thing
called
the
new
normal,
and
I
think
one
of
our
new
normals
in
the
city
of
dublin
heights
should
be
the
new
normal
of
a
five-day
work
week,
city
hall,
and
I
would
like
all
department
heads
to
come
up
with
a
plan
to
return
to
a
five-day
work
week
in
the
next
30
days
presented
as
council
chair.
This
is
something
that
we
might
not
do,
but
we're
going
to
do.
Thank
you.
Q
Okay,
I
have
two
items.
This
was
brought
up
a
few
months
ago
when
we
didn't
renew
the
contract,
for
the
attorney
need
to
know
the
status
you
know.
I
know
it
was
mentioned
with
the
covet
issue,
but
I
know
that
a
lot
every
attorney
is
working
right
now,
so
we
need
to
know
the
status
on
that
getting
a
new
attorney
to
represent
the
council,
the
city
and
the
mayor.
H
Q
A
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
glad
to
see
city
hall
open
and
the
signage
up,
particularly
around
the
building
department
and
the
forms
available,
and
thank
you
to
our
building
director,
larry
domski,
for
putting
up
all
the
sneeze
guards
or
whatever
you
call
them
the
glass,
great
job
and
and
the
signage
I'm
glad
to
see
our
parks
open,
and
hopefully
our
sporting
programs
will
get
back
and
we'll
have
some
sporting
activities
for
our
youth.
I
know
we're
going
to
start
being
able
to
see
baseball
games.
P
I
I
hope
everyone
understands
I've
heard
some
of
the
council
members
say
well
we're
spending
all
this
money
that
sewers
are
expensive,
the
sewer
system
that
runs
through
inkster
through
dearborn
heights
through
garden
city.
It's
all
really
one
sewer
system,
it
doesn't
change
at
the
particular
city
border,
it's
it's!
P
F
F
It
needs
to
be
worked
on
at
the
state
and
the
federal
level
and,
most
specifically,
the
fcc.
That's
who's
going
to
be
able
to
make
some
of
the
changes
that
some
of
the
residents
are
requesting,
and
it's
very
very,
very
unfortunate
that
we
have
sadly,
and
and
madly
almost
no
control
over
this.
Thank
you.
A
A
H
The
only
other
item-
and
please
don't
unmute
me,
but
I
think
it
was
per
the
charter,
I'm
supposed
to
be
permitted
to
speak
on
all
matters
that
come
before
this
council
per
the
charter
and
when
you
meet
me,
I'm
not
able
to
the
other
problem
was
you've
talked
for
a
long
time
on
after
my
veto,
but
you
didn't
give
me
a
chance.
There's
two
sides
to
the
story
and
I
think
the
public
I'm
trying
to
protect
the
public's
cost
related
to
this.
H
T
Okay,
you
can
hear
me
a
couple
things
I
want
to
touch
on.
First,
thank
you
for
realizing
how
important
those
grants
are.
The
fire
lisa
martin
at
the
fire
department
wrote
that
bja
grant.
Today
you
can
saw
we
use
every
penny
of
that
grant.
Looking
over
it
real
carefully,
you
notice,
I
didn't
buy
enough
pouches,
as
I
did
gas
masks.
That's
because
the
great
that's
all
we
could
get
for
the
grant.
T
We
are
trying
to
accrue
another
grant
with
the
help
of
lisa
martin
to
pay
for
the
rest
of
those
pouches.
So
if
you
see
another
one
for
the
same
type
of
equipment,
it's
because
we're
trying
to
finish
the
purchase,
but
we
are
trying
to
secure
grants
director
hashem's,
probably
going
to
talk
in
a
little
bit.
I'm
assuming
but
he's
helped
us
get
grants.
T
The
police
department
is
very
appreciative
of
all
that
help
and
we're
using
it
to
provide
better
service
to
our
customers,
but
also
to
protect
our
employees
because
we're
running
24
7.
second
thing
is
to
make
it
is
as
quick
and
as
and
painless
as
possible.
Masking
up
under
the
new
governor's
orders.
The
police
department
stance
is
this:
it's
advise,
educate
and
enforce.
T
If
we've
made
those
steps
to
try
to
advise
and
people
still
chose
to
do
it,
we
will
enforce
with
a
ticket
the
police
department.
Like
many,
we
are
not
actively
pursuing
people
that
aren't
participating
this.
We
are
responding
to
calls
for
service.
It
is
there's
too
much
question
to
do
that
and
too
many
opportunities
or
confrontations
that
could
be
involved.
So
we
are
responding
to
calls
for
service.
T
We
are
advising
we
are
educating
and
if
that
does
not
work
to
cut
down
on
our
time,
if
we're
spending
all
this
time
responding,
we
will
at
some
point
begin
to
enforce
it
as
we
track
who
we've
talked
to,
but
the
first
step
will
be
to
advise
and
advise
and
educate.
So
I
hope
that
answers
some
of
the
questions
I
had
many
come
in.
The
governor
was
nice
enough
to
put
that
on
a
friday
to
take
effect
on
a
monday,
so
7
a.m.
T
But
I
also
this
is
something
that
cannot
be
kicked
down,
as
you
saw
by
the
numbers
of
both
staffing
and
fiscally,
and
I
have
planned
on
having
corporate
creation
council
review
the
contract
and
in
the
near
future,
bring
it
to
council
to
be
on
the
agenda
to
be
discussed
and
voted
on.
So
out
of
you
know,
so
everyone
knows
that's
where
I
stand,
and
that
is
the
steps
I'm
taking
at
this
point.
A
A
D
K
Hi
everybody
I'll
be
quick.
My
name
is
latonya
gator
and
I
attended
the
city
council
meeting
last
month,
where
I
proposed,
maybe
that
we
could
have
a
dei
committee
and
I
learned
that
we
previously
had
a
dcc
commission
diversity,
culture,
commission
that
was
inactive
since
2007
and
I've
been
doing
my
due
diligence
and
trying
to
see
if
this
type
of
commission
or
committee
would
be
beneficial
to
the
community,
and
I
have
been
getting
some
positive
feedback
that
some
community
members
do
want
this
to
happen
in
the
city
of
dearborn
heights.
K
But
again
I
want
to
know
from
you
guys
on
the
call
if
anybody
was
around
back
when
the
commission
was
originally
founded,
what
were
the
pros
and
cons
of
what
that
commission
did
and
if
you
guys
want
to
see
that
be
reactivated?
What
could
be
some
positive
things
that
that
commission
could
do
now
if
anybody's
willing
to
speak
on
it?
I
am
listening
wrong.
P
Yes,
yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
then
councilwoman
van
houghton,
margaret
van
houten,
there
was
an
incident
in
the
north
side
of
dearborn
heights,
involving
some
harassment
of
a
african-american
resident.
I
believe
I
want
to
say,
was
a
member
of
the
detroit
lions
and
initiated
by
councilwoman
margaret
van
houten
and
and
joined
by
really
all
of
us
to
have
the
diversity
commission,
and
then
there
was
a
race
going
on
for
district
court
judge
and
some
people
on
the
council.
P
P
P
O
Yes,
good
evening,
madam
chair
good
evening,
mr
mayor,
I
have
a
personal
comment,
I'm
speaking
as
an
individual.
Obviously
my
name
is
joe
hashem.
I
live
on
wilson
drive,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
dpw,
because
during
the
heat
wave
that
we
had
in
the
last
two
weeks,
they
did
a
great
job,
not
just
only
in
my
neighbor
neighborhood,
but
all
around
the
city,
cutting
trees
and
trimming
them,
and
I
know
it
was
very
difficult.
It
was
very
hot
outside.
So
thank
you
very
much.
O
O
Lastly,
as
an
individual
I'd
like
to
offer
a
little
bit
of
advice,
if
you
happen
to
drive
on
wilson
drive,
which
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
streets
in
the
city
of
dearborn
heights-
and
you
see
somebody
parked
illegally
or
parked
in
the
wrong
spot-
do
not
take
matters
into
your
hands,
just
call
the
police.
They
are
very
fast,
they're,
very
quick,
and
they
know
the
law
just
call
them
and
they
will
respond
very
quickly
and
they
will
address
your
knee.
O
J
J
L
Okay,
I
do
not
normally
take
direction
from
the
city
treasurer.
With
regard
to
opinions,
I
will
respond
to
his
request,
for
assistance
always
will,
but
if
you
direct
me
to
do
so
or
the
mayor
directs
me
to
do
so,
but
I'll
start
with
mr
neil
lato's
opinion
as
a
starting
point,
because
I
believe
he's
already
given
opinion
on
this
and
he
has
more
expertise
than
I
do.
But
if
you
want
me
to
do
it,
then
council
chair,
I
will
certainly
end
up
doing
it.
If
you
direct
me
to
do
so,.
A
L
Q
L
A
L
U
U
My
name
is
mahar
ibrahim.
I
just
wanted
to
bring
an
issue
that
I
have
to
the
attention
of
the
council
members
and
the
mayor,
mr
gary,
so
it's
about
a
dealer
that
I
bought
last
year.
It's
something
that
I've
been
trying
to
a
business
that
I'm
been
trying
to
get
up
for
about
almost
a
year
now.
So
it's
a
used
car
dealership
that
I
bought
back
in
october
of
last
year.
It's
something
that
I
looked
for
and
I
did
a
purchase
agreement
in
september.
U
U
I
got
the
cfo,
I
went
and
did
the
actual
purchase
in
october
and
after
that
I
spent
a
couple
months,
just
making
sure
doing
more
remodeling
and
stuff,
like
that
at
the
dealer,
went
back
in
march
to
get
my
license
and
then
you
know
I
was
told
that
there's
a
moratorium
in
place
and
then
covet
19
happened.
I
had
to
wait
till
june
till
I
was
able
to
go
back
and
follow
up
with
the
city.
U
So
what
I'm
asking
for
in
my
argument
is
that
I
I
honestly
should
not
and
truly
believe
that
this
moratorium
should
shall
not
apply
to
me
because
again,
this
is
not
a
new
car
dealership
and
I'm
not
fully
understanding.
Why
and
why.
It's
done
like
that,
I'm
trying
not
trying
to
change
any
anything,
and
I
just
also
wanna.
You
know
I
talked
to
most
of
the
city
councilmen
and
been
trying
to
go
the
city
for
for
almost
like
nine
months
now,
back
and
forth.
U
B
A
A
M
M
The
commission
was
on
started
by
a
couple
people
that
were
really
active
at
the
time,
one
of
them
being
hamid,
sweden
who
grew
up
and
went
to
college
and
unfortunately
we
lost
him
for
a
couple
of
years
on
we'd
some
ideas
to
help
out
with
neighborhoods
and
to
get
not
only
racial
diversity
but
understanding
with
people.
So
I
will
email
you.
I
don't
want
you
to
think
that
on
that
some
of
us
don't
have
some
suggestions,
because
I've
got
suggestions.
M
Second
thing,
while
my
birds
are
going-
and
you
can
probably
hear
my
dishwasher
on-
I
am
going
to
mute
myself.
It's
really
hard
to
hear
counsel,
sometimes
because
there's
people
talking
and
having
conversations
in
the
background
and
other
people,
moaning
and
it's
and
I
don't
know
who-
and
I'm
not
blaming
anybody
on
council.
But
it's
really
hard
to
hear
you
guys
sometimes
when
the
person
has
the
floor,
if
other
people
are
talking
in
addition
to
my
birds
and
my
dishwasher.
So
thank
you
very
much.
G
G
Excuse
me
that
revenue
sharing
over
the
next
year
or
so
it's
going
to
be
really
tough,
I'm
sure
the
federal
and
state
level
is
going
to
cut
us
really
severely
and
if
we
can
cut
anything
back,
things
can
be
delayed
because
we
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen
with
revenue
sharing
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
I'm
sure
these
trillions
of
dollars
that
for
bailout
money
is
going
to
kill
us
in
the
city.
The
next
thing
is,
on
july
1st
I
sent
out
a
foia
request,
which
is
really
promptly
replied
to
you.
G
G
So,
if,
if
I
can
get
those
corrected
and
get
the
full
legal
names,
as
I
requested
my
foia
email
on
july,
1st,
that
was
sent
to
director
sabota
perry
and
it
was
sent
to
me
by
the
mayor's
chief
of
staff
and
finally,
on
february
25th,
I
know
this
is
going
going
back
a
ways.
However,
it
was
at
the
february
25th
meeting
amir
was
asked
about
an
ordinance
truck
parked
at
the
target,
another
city
on
saturday
nights.
G
I
have
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
problems.
There
number
one,
a
dog
was
transported
to
the
animal
shelter
in
an
unapproved
pickup
truck.
First
of
all,
when
you
transport
an
animal
you
transport
them
in
an
animal
transport
vehicle
which
I
believe
the
city
has
two
of
number.
Two
animals
are
to
be
transported
by
an
animal
control
officer.
G
That's
through
the
michigan
department
of
agriculture
and
rural
development,
they
have
to
attend
a
hundred
hours,
minimum
training
as
controlled
under
mcl,
287.289
c,
or
the
exception
to
that
as
a
police
officer
or
a
person
employed
as
a
animal
control
officer
prior
to
1973..
I'm
sorry,
sir,
but
mr
mcintyre
does
not
fit
any
of
those
descriptions.
G
He
is
not
certified
under
mdard.
He
is
not
a
police
officer
and
he
was
not
employed
as
such
prior
to
1973..
I
have
checked
mr
mayor.
Could
you
respond
please
why
an
animal
was
transported
in
a
vehicle
that
was
not
properly
contained
and
why
you
have
a
person
acting
as
an
animal
control
officer
who's
not
certified
by
the
states.
R
R
R
Well,
somebody
called
so
I
don't
know
if
what
name
you
asked
for,
but
I
I
definitely
am
certified.
I
went
through
the
training,
along
with
all
the
other
officers
when
we
back
in
2014,
when
it
was
decided
that
we
were
going
to
re,
reopen
the
animal
control
department.
Officially,
it
was
my
insistence
that
we
all
the
full-time
ordnance
officers
and
including
myself
go
through
the
training.
So
I
am
certified.
R
G
R
B
U
R
Know
what
mr
parish,
you
could
have
called
me
anytime.
I'm
insulted
that
you
would
assume
that
I'm
not
certified
in
since
that
certification.
All
of
my
officers
are
doing
continuing
certification.
I
almost
have
my
national
certification
and
animal
control
and
animal
cruelty
investigation.
So
again
I
don't
know
where
all
this
information
is
going
about,
but
I'm
going
to
speak
to
that
when
it's
my
turn
to
speak
in
a
second.
U

Another
issue
that
I
have
is
what
is
in
place
to
inform
ordinance
or
proper
department
when
the
water
is
shut
off
at
a
property
to
investigate
or
ensure
that
people
still
are
not
living
at
the
property,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
process
that
needs
to
be
put
in
place,
moving
forward
for
inter-departmental
communication
and
action
for
further
issues.
I
think
that
this
went
on
way
too
long
before
it
was
addressed.
It
was
not
properly
followed
up
on
on
a
regular
basis.
A
When
I
talked
to
officer
ortman
last
year,
he
agreed
with
me
that
these
people
were
going
to
continue
to
be
a
problem
and
continue
to
have
been
a
problem
for
years.
So
I
think
that
there
should
have
been
a
follow-up
process
in
place
where
these
people
should
have
been
followed
up
on
long
before
now,
and
action
should
have
been
taken
long
before
now,
and
that
is
my
statement.
D

D

It's
not
a
new
business,
it
may
be
a
new
owner,
but
it's
not
a
new
business
and
I
I
don't
think
we
should
penalize
that
business
because
of
that
moratorium
of
not
having
new
business.
Okay.
If
it
was,
you
know
something
that
was
a
different
type
of
business.
I
could
understand,
but
the
man
has,
you
know,
got
his
cfo.
He
got
everything
matter
of
fact:
there's
a
business
that
really
never
have
a
business
license
still
operating
as
a
hookup
business.
So
why
can't
this
gentleman
get
his
license?
A
R
Well,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
councilman
abdallah
for
bringing
up
the
elephant.
That's
in
the
room.
I
think
this
has
been
so
chaotic
at
times
all
of
us
trying
to
work
together
and
I'm
not
quite
sure
my
background
is
actually
and
and
if
people
want
to
research
it
they
can.
My
background's
in
mental
health-
and
I
just
feel
like
we
all
need
to
take
a
deep
breath
and
start
really
doing
the
work
for
the
people.
We
say
it
and
then
we
turn
around
and
we
do
other
things.
R
R
R
If
you're
going
to
be
an
animal
control
officer
in
this
department,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
you're
comfortable
dealing
with
animals.
So
everybody
goes
and
they're
evaluated
first
by
the
michigan
humane
society,
and
then
that
information
comes
back.
If
they
meet
the
requirements
to
be
an
animal
control
officer,
then
we
start
the
training
when
they
become
a
full-time
officer
in
our
department.
They
have
six
months
to
complete
the
training.
R
We've
hired
a
company
called
aces.
They
put
all
of
us
through
the
training.
It
was
very
brutal.
Our
first
day
on
the
job,
we
had
three
pit
bulls
that
were
literally
charging
us.
All
of
us
were
very
nervous,
but
we
we
were
training
and
we
do
it
consistently
and
I'm
actually
kind
of
glad
that
mr
parrish
brought
this
up,
because
I
was
really
stunned
when
I
saw
an
email
circular
circulating
around
questioning
whether
or
not
I
have
the
qualifications
or
the
certification
and
I'm
like
seriously
we're
gonna
go
to
this
level.
R
R
R
We
do
good
things
for
the
community
with
animal
control.
We
started
hosting
vaccine
clinics
here
at
city
hall,
where
we
offer
very
cheap
vaccines
for
people
and
what's
interesting,
and
this
just
came
up
in
a
conversation
today
when
I
was
in
hr
like
other
first
responders.
These
guys
are
first
responders
too.
They
do
a
very
critical
job
in
our
community
and
sometimes
they
don't
get
the
recognition.
