Description
The Dearborn Heights City Council Meeting taking place Tuesday, April 12th 2022 at Riverside Middle School and via Zoom.
A
All
right
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
it's
right
now
6
p.m.
We're
doing
our
regular
city
council
meeting
today
is
april,
the
12th
tuesday
at
6
p.m.
Before
we
begin
I'm
going
to
introduce
our
junior
mayor,
we
have
sarah
johnson
she's
in
seventh
grade
and
she's
gonna
be
doing
a
junior
mayor
job
today.
So
let's
give
her
a
round
of
applause.

A
A
A
D
A
A
Okay,
so
recommended
motion
item
4b
motion
made
by
councilman
b
dune
seconded
by
councilman
constant?
Is
there
a
discussion
on
that
all
in
favor?
Please
state,
I
aye
those
opposed
eyes
have
it
motion
carried
next
item
on
the
agenda?
Is
public
hearings
and
comment
on
agenda
items
only
you'll
have
two
minutes.
Please
come
on
up.
Please
state
your
name,
the
city
you
live
in
and
the
street
that
you
live
on
and
if
you
all
do
me,
a
favor
have
the
microphone
as
close
as
possible
to
you.
F
F
I
just
want
to
bring
up
a
couple
of
points
on
that
first.
I
believe
that
a
an
appointment
at
this
time
is
premature
simply
because
commissioner
crandall
has
filed
a
an
appeal
on
his
removal
from
the
commission
and
until
there's
a
determination
and
mr
mayor
or
corporate
council,
if
you
have
something
to
shed
on
that
some
light
to
shed
on
the
outcome
of
that
appeal.
F
Secondly,
it's
apparent
that
it
is
the
intention
to
appoint
a
president
to
the
commission,
and
I
would
like
to
just
bring
a
point
of
interest
on
that
that
this
body
or
the
mayor's
office
does
not
appoint
presidents
to
the
commission.
Only
the
com
active
commissioners
elect
the
president,
so
you
can
appoint
a
commissioner
and
it's
due
that
is
proper
to
do
that
once
we
know.
There's
a
vacancy
there,
but
we
choose
our
own
president.
So
that's
all
I
have
thank
you.
F
The
only
thing
I'm
aware
of
is
that
the
that
commissioner
crandall
appealed
his
removal
from
the
commission
which
per
the
act.
He
has
every
right
to
do,
and
then
it
goes
to
circuit
court
and
until
that's
heard-
and
it
just
so
happens-
that
mr
crandall
is
not
in
the
area
at
this
time-
he's
away
on
vacation
he's
expected
back
shortly
after
easter
so
next
week,
and
at
that
time
I
think
you
know
resolution
to
in
whichever
way
a
judge
determines.
I
mean
that's
up
to
a
judge.
F
F
D
H
As
I've
stated
before,
a
lot
of
these
issues
have
been
handled
by
labor
council.
There
are
some
issues
where
I
don't
feel
comfortable
being
involved
in
them
because
of
a
potential
for
a
conflict
of
interest,
because
some
of
them
have
to
do
with
acts.
78
and
commissioner
thomas
and
commissioner
thomas
had
been
employed
by
the
city
of
e-course.
I
had
been
involved
in
claims
against
the
city
of
e-course
pertaining
to
his
employment.
H
He
was
not
an
adverse
party
to
me,
but
it
looked
like
there
could
be
some
issues
with
respect
to
me,
potentially
giving
advice
to
the
city
with
respect
to
these
issues
in
a
way
that
might
be
considered
to
be
unfavorable
to
commissioner
thomas,
because
commissioner
thomas
was
in
a
position
that
two
of
my
clients
were
supposed
to
be
in.
So
I
want
to
put
that
out
there
first,
so
chris
makula
labor
council
for
the
city
has
been
advising
the
city
with
respect
to
this
now.
H
My
understanding
and
I
advise
the
act
78
commission
for
a
number
of
years-
is
that
indeed,
yes,
the
commission
membership
is
chosen
by
the
mayor
with
a
commissioner
that
he
appoints
subject
to
your
approval.
Then
there
are
the
active
employees
who
end
up
appointing
a
commissioner,
which
I
believe
would
be
mr
lopkovic.
I
think.
H
H
H
You
could
possibly
do
that
you
could
possibly
delay
it.
You
could
also
possibly
be
in
a
position
where,
if
mr
makula
would
meet
with
you,
it's
my
understanding
that
there
actually
is
one
case
I
haven't
looked
it
up,
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
pleadings.
I've
tried
to,
as
I've
stated
defer
to
him
with
regards
to
this,
so
that
I
don't
get
myself
into
some
sort
of
an
issue,
but
that
might
be
something
which
you
would
have
addressed
in
a
closed
session
with
mr
makula.
H
You
could
potentially
go
forward
with
this.
You
could
potentially
end
up
adjourning
it
to
end
up
getting
the
status
or
or
tabling
until
you
get
a
status
with
respect
to
that
issue,
and
potentially
his
advice
and
my
recollection
of
the
statute
is
that,
yes,
what
ends
up
happening
is
if
there
is
a
removal
and
then
the
person
who
is
removed
basically
appeals
that,
whether
it's
to
the
mayor
or
otherwise,
then
the
mayor
has
to
end
up
going
to
the
circuit
court
and
in
this
instance,
and
asking
for
a
confirmation
of
his
decision.
H
F
I
would
like
to
add
one
other
thing:
if
I
may
go
ahead,
yeah
it's
next
or
I'm
sorry,
monday,
may
2nd
10
o'clock
at
city
hall.
We
on
the
commission
at
this
time
have
a
quorum
so
appointment,
although
you
know
being
expeditious
with
this
once
there's
a
determination
of
mr
crandall's
outcome
would
be
definitely
beneficial,
but
at
this
time
we
also
have
a
quorum
so
that
our
business
can
continue
according
to
the
rules
and
regulations
of
acts,
78
and
dearborn
heights.
We
need
two
commissioners
to
have
a
core
and
to
handle
our
business.
F
F
I
believe
that
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
table
it
until
the
outcome
or
whatever,
but
I
don't
think
you
have
to
put
yourself
in
a
position
of
appointing
you
know
I
guess
in
conjunction
with,
or
you
know
the
outcome
in
court
I
mean
I.
I
just
think
it's
premature
to
have
any
action
at
this
time
at
all.
Okay,
thanks
steve.
C
Goodman,
council
chair,
so
I
did
consult
with
the
attorney
we.
We
talked
extensively
about
this
this
topic
here.
We
do
need
to
appoint
somebody
to
look
after
the
interests
of
the
city
and
follows
the
charter.
So
this
we
have
to
do
that.
You
know
we.
We
do
need
somebody
that
actually
knows
the
charter
and
to
make
sure
that
charter
is
followed.
A
Okay,
one
of
the
concerns
I
would
have
steve
is:
if
you
have
two
people,
you
can
have
a
lot
more.
When
you
have
votes,
you're
gonna
have
tie
a
lot
of
ties.
Obviously
that's
why
they
have
they
always
have
them
in
odd
numbers.
I.E.
The
city
council
is
seven
in
this
case
with
three
and
then,
when
you
have
two,
you
have
a
higher
likelihood
of
a
potential
tie,
especially
when
you
have
two
people
I
I
definitely
would
rather
have
three
eyes
on
something
than
two
persons.
F
H
H
H
So
if
that's
true,
then
mr
crandall
would
have
no
right
to
continue.
If
the
other
position,
which
sounds
like
what
mr
crandall's
position
is,
is
that
act
78
takes
priority.
If
he's
correct
about
that,
and
then
my
understanding
and
I
could
be
corrected
on
this-
is
that
act.
78
basically
says
that
the
person
is
suspended
if
they
end
up
objecting
to
their
removal
until
confirmed
by
the
circuit
court.
C
H
G
Gonna
wrap
this
up
yeah.
Well,
let's
wrap
this
up
in
just
two
points
number
one.
Mr
miyaki
has
told
us
that
there's
another
attorney
which
we
need
to
hear
from
the
attorney
from
ogletree.
The
the
labor
attorney
number
two
there's
a
circuit
course
case
pending
to
appoint
someone
now
would
be
like
appointing
someone
to
the
council.
In
the
event
I
resign
it's
not
until
the
position
is
vacant.
It's
not
vacant
until
the
removal
is
final.
D
Council
councilman
with
respect,
doesn't
the
mayor?
Have
the
right
wait?
Let's
follow
the
follow
the
rules?
Please,
okay,
go
ahead,
council
chair
and
I'm
just
speaking
on
a
commission
and
you
know
I'm
being
on
the
cultural
relations
commission
does
the
mayor-
and
maybe
you
can
answer
this:
does
the
mayor
have
the
authority
in
the
autonomy
to
remove
somebody
off
a
commission
if
it's
an
appointment
by,
I
can
buy
the
mayor?
Does
the
mayor
have
the
right
to
remove
that
personal
commission
and
I'm
asking
that
for
myself
because
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
it:
circuit.
A
D
C
D
In
I
know,
council
m,
my
question
is
and
then
neither
the
mayor
or
even
if
councilman
bob
constant
or
mr
miyake
can
answer,
does
the
mayor
have
the
autonomy
to
remove
somebody
off
of
the
commission,
say
you're
no
longer
allowed
to
be
or
I'm
going
to
fire
you
or
I'm
suspending
you
indefinitely.
Do
they
have
that
and
if
so,
then,
why
is
it
going
to
circuit
court?
It
depends.
H
C
G
F
A
A
C
Chair,
we
are
actually
in
the
process
of
hiring
police
officers
right
now,
so
we
need.
We
need
to
have
that
on
agenda
at
the
next
next
act.
78
meeting,
so
that's
very
critical.
We
have
a
few
police
officers
there
in
line
to
get
interviewed
and
we
do
have
to
get
that
in
in
may.
Okay,
so
it
is
critical
to
get
those
police
officers.
A
A
L
Lapoint
merrick
street
dearborn
heights.
I
have
some
answers
to
your
discussion
just
now,
because
I've
been
researching
all
day
a
case
in
2014
mayor
of
cadillac,
the
blackburn.
The
court
ruled
that
it
was
the
same
sort
of
removal
of
a
commissioner
sort
of
thing.
The
mayor's
decision
removal
becomes
final
only
after
either
the
commissioner
fails
to
respond
or
the
circuit
court
confirms
the
removal.
L
L
If
the
commissioner
failed
to
respond
they're,
just
saying
yes
I'll
have
a
nice
day,
you
know,
but
until
the
circuit
court
finalizes
it.
It
is
not
final.
If
I
were
sitting
at
that
table
with
you
guys,
I
would
absolutely
table
this
appointment
until
the
next
city
council
meeting
and
incur
circuit
court
can
push
this.
L
The
way
x78
is
written
that
this
appeal
can
be
put
to
the
front
of
the
docket,
so
the
court,
if
requested
by
mr
crandall,
can
move
up
that
date
of
that
hearing
so
that
it
can
be
handled
in
a
timely
manner.
So
I
would
just
encourage
the
city
to
follow
up
on
that
and
table
this
appointment
until
the
actual
resignation
is
final
because
we
wouldn't
want
to
deal
with
another
lawsuit.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
A
D
M
M
Sim
street,
so
at
approximately
11
pm,
tuesday
april
5th,
I
was
at
canfield
at
the
ramadan
night
event
and
officers
run
public
safety
in
jeopardy
by
blocking
off
the
exit
of
canfield,
causing
an
approximate
35
vehicle.
Lineup
people
were
attempting
to
leave
the
event
and
many
people
were
trapped
and
delayed
from
reaching
their
home
destination
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
A
D
A
A
Motion
made
by
councilman
bedouin,
supported
by
councilman
ahmad.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this
and
for
those
not
familiar?
There's
a
company
on
daniel
street,
that's
looking
to
take
over
a
part
of
the
city
property
and
I
make
it
a
part
of
theirs,
and
this
is
what
the
hearing
is
for.
It's
anybody
that
would
like
to
comment
on
this
from
the
audience
and
what
about
zoom?
Do
we
have
everybody
on
zoom.
A
Right:
okay,
no
problem,
okay,
so
motion
made
by
councilman
bae,
doon
seconded
by
councilman
ahmad,
all
in
favor
of
the
motion.
Please
state
aye,
aye
aye,
those
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
meeting
is
now
considered
open.
Is
there
anybody
attending
the
meeting
that
has
any
comments
on
the
proposed
street
vacation?
A
A
E
E
N
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
in
the
long-term
growth
for
us
down
the
road.
This
little
piece
of
property
is
very
important
to
us,
we're
looking
to
add
a
warehouse
building
to
the
existing
piece
of
property,
so
the
adjacent
piece
of
property
is
very
important
to
us
for
our
groundwork
parking
vehicles,
just
encompassing
more
space,
which
is
going
to
allow
us
to
bring
more
jobs
into
the
city
plus.
N
A
Any
other
comments
or
any
questions,
since
they
are
up
here
from
any
council
members,
so
I
can
just
give
you
my
comments
on
this,
I'm
always
in
favor
of
having
somebody
develop
any
type
of
land
and
obviously
atlanta's
been
there
for
who
knows:
50
60
70,
whatever
it
is
years,
it's
never
been
sold,
obviously
nobody's
ever
made
a
bid
on
it.
At
the
same
time,
I
do
have
concerns
about
giving
up
land,
for
you
know
completely
for
free.
A
A
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
is
that
correct
right
around
there
and
the
concern
I
had-
and
I
did
some
research
as
far
as
property,
values
or
land
values
a
lot
of
the
land
in
the
area,
the
residential
that
is-
and
I
know
this
one's,
not
residential,
it's
selling
anywhere
between
15
18
000.
All
the
way
up
to
about
30,
35
000.
depends
on
a
particular
piece
of
land.
In
this
particular
case,
it's
commercial
and
it's
not
been
everybody's-
made
a
bid
on
it,
obviously
to
develop
it
over
the
years.
A
E
N
N
We
didn't
figure
that
it
could
be
developed
by
anybody
really,
but
us
and
that's
why
it's
important
to
us.
Having
that
extra
space,
I
mean
we've
already
outgrown
the
building
that
we're
in
when
we
started.
We
had
five
employees
in
peak
time.
In
the
summer
we
run
up
to
100
to
110
employees
now,
which
is
very
impactful
for
the
city
and
we're
hoping
to
continue
to
grow.
You
know
we
have
a
10-year
plan
in
place
and
part
of
that
plan
is
is
having
that
building.
You
know,
built
and
developed.
N
We've
actually
already
hired
an
architect
who's
done.
Some
initial
talks
with
the
planning
commission
and
the
building
department
to
make
sure
that
building
will
fit
appropriately
in
that
space
and
as
far
as
we
know
as
at
this
point,
you
know
that
will
work
the
building
that
we're
talking
about
putting
up
and
we're
actually
talking
about,
putting
that
building
up
on
the
existing
piece
of
property
that
we
have.
But
when
we
put
up
that
building
on
our
property,
we
we
lose
that
footprint
of
the
of
the
total
lot.
G
N
E
O
A
O
D
A
A
Right
so
I've
ever
so
raised
from
those
situations,
so
ray
muscat
is
homesick
and
we
had
looked
into
whether
he'd
be
able
to
vote
or
not,
and
unfortunately,
after
we've
gone
back
and
forth
with
the
clerk
and
and
the
rules
and
the
laws.
What
have
you
he's
not
allowed
to
vote,
but
he
is
of
course
allowed
to
be
on
and
he
is
capable
of
making
a
statement
as
a
resident.
A
H
E
A
But
at
any
point
any
one
of
us
says:
council
members
have
had
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
go
down
to
the
podium
and
say
I
dave
abdullah.
I
am
speaking
as
a
resident,
which
I
have
a
right
to
as
a
resident
speak
on
whatever
I
want
he's
not
going
to
be
voting,
but
he
has
a
statement
to
make
and
as
a
resident,
because
this
is
his
taxes
too,
he
has
a
right
to
speak.
So,
in
my
opinion,
I
think
it'd
be
okay.
I'd
be
okay.
E
H
In
other
words,
it's
it's
again,
not
only
is
a
member,
your
deliberations
and
your
decisions
have
to
end
up
being
made
in
compliance
with
the
open
meetings.
Act
is
his
comment
on
something
that
is
potentially
going
to
be
decided,
and
potentially
it's
not
going
to
be
decided
tonight.
It's
going
to
end
up
being
decided
another
time
this
is
a
public
hearing
on
this.
This
is
going
to
have
to
come
back.
H
A
A
P
B
B
N
Okay,
thank
you.
In
regards
to
the
costs,
I
mean
think
about
the
legacy
cost
of
not
maintaining
that
piece
of
property
anymore
and
that
we're
going
to
assume
that
legacy
cost
of
maintaining
that
property
and
then
once
we
put
a
building
up
the
increased
tax
revenue
from
that
building
and
then
the
jobs
and
all
the
other
things
that
come
along
with
it.
H
Because
if
I
make
oh
I'm
sorry
bro
gary
yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
say:
yes,
that's
all
wonderful
and
it's
obviously
a
decision
of
of
this
body,
but
there's
nothing
that
requires
you
to
do
so,
there's
nothing
that
is
being
required
other
than
once.
This
ends
up
taking
place.
It's
irreversible
and
the
property
belongs
to
jason
property
owner.
D
And
so,
and
I
I
appreciate
bringing
in
more
jobs
and
building
and
bringing
in
you
know,
making
things
look
great,
but
in
today's
zero
and
knowing
how
expensive
land
is,
I
just
don't
see
the
tax.
You
know
the
city
and
then
not
to
say
that
the
city
is
a
business,
but
just
to
not
see
that
the
city
is
not
going
to
benefit
from
this
or
most
likely.
You
guys,
won't
be
benefiting
from
this.
So
I
mean
it
just
in
my
personal
opinion
into
this
whole
body.
D
D
D
N
D
A
A
So
if
we
approve
it
today,
there's
a
public
hearing.
If
we
approve
it
today,
we
could
approve
it
to
just
give
it
to
them
in
general,
or
we
could
approve
it
subject
to
actual
dollar
amount
or
we
could
approve
it.
Let's
say
just
use
a
hypothetical
if
we
said
a
thousand
dollars,
we
could
agree
to
it.
Go
ahead.
Gary.
H
H
B
Q
Q
Q
They
went
back
and
re-signed
all
the
paperwork
they
discussed
with
a
neighbor
to
the
west
of
them
and
he
had
no
interest
in
the
property
he
signed
that
he
did
not.
You
know,
have
any
interest
and
this
property
is
to
the
east
of
their
building.
I
went
down
there
and
I
had
showed
you
how
it's
posted
down
there.
I
hadn't
seen
that
before,
but
they
post
the
property,
and
if
anyone
has
any
objections,
they
can
attend
tonight's
meeting
and
both
butch
and
aaron.
Q
You
know
they
want
to
move
forward
on
their
business
and
it's
a
council
decision.
I
just
said
I'd:
I
would
represent
it
like
they've
said
they
wanted
all
along.
They
want
that
property
if
it's
going
to
cost
them.
Okay,
but
you
know,
for
three
years
we've
been
trying
to
get
it
through
an
insurer
with
covet
in
in
transition
this
and
that
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
on
their
behalf
that
you
know
they've
been
waiting
three
years.
Q
So
hopefully,
whichever
way
the
council
goes,
we
let
them
get
the
property
in
which,
whatever
way
you
guys
decide
and
let
them
move
forward
with
their
building.
If,
if
you've
been
down
in
that
area,
there's
just
they're
building
and
I'm
adding
to
it
would
probably
enhance
the
area.
That's
all
I
really
got
to
say
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
lee,
so
just
to
clarify
for
some
of
the
council
members.
One
of
the
options
that
is
available
to
the
city,
of
course,
is
to
put
the
property
up
for
sale
and
sell
it
is
that
correct
gary?
Obviously,
yes,
okay
and
then
the
other
option
is,
of
course,
to
sell
it
to
them
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
agree
on
and
then
the
third
option
is
for
us,
as
a
city
for
whatever
reason
to
just
keep
the
land
ours
and
just
keep
maintaining
it.
A
H
A
Okay,
so
at
this
point,
public
hearing
for
the
street
vacation
of
the
unpaved
roadway
on
powers
and
courier
dearborn
heights
city
council
hereby
closes
the
public
hearing
at
6,
43
6,
43
pm,
and
this
motion
is
made
by
councilman
b
dunes
report
and
seconded
by
councilman
ahmad.
All
in
favor,
please
state
aye
aye.
A
A
H
D
And
council
chair
make
that
motion
call
well
before
I
do
that
before
I
refer
this
back,
I
just
I'm
asking
this
administration.
The
gentleman
said
they've
been
working
for
three
years,
maybe
on
and
off
what
not.
But
I
can
tell
you.
This
administration
is
working
extremely
fast,
and
I
know
that
mr
miyake
is
going
to
you
know
get
on
the
ball
on
this
one
and
we're
not
going
to
see
you
at
the
two
meetings
from
now.
A
So
motion
made
by
baidu
councilman,
b
dune
supported
by
councilman,
constand
and
discussion
on
that
I
tell
you
for
myself,
I'm
all
in
favor
and
sell
it
selling
it
to
them.
As
you
know,
for
three
years,
I've
said
this:
I'm
all
in
favor
of
this:
it's
not
an
area
that
has,
you
know
high
high
demand,
so
I'm
all
in
favor
of
giving
it
to
you
guys,
but
just
as
something
at
a
price,
not
not
for
free.
That's
the
only
thing
I'm
against
and
I'm
glad
we're
on
the
same
page.
So
thank
you.
A
D
A
C
J
A
Support
motion
made
by
councilman
baidu,
supported
by
councilman
ahmad.
Is
there
a
discussion
on
that?
Mr
deep?
If
you
don't
mind
for
those
in
the
audience
and
those
on
zoom,
because
this
is
such
a
large
amount,
if
you
don't
mind
just
giving
our
residents
just
a
general
outline
as
to
what
this
thing
is
all
about,.
R
So,
as
part
of
the
city's
effort
to
separate
well
we're
mandated
to
separate
sewers
sanitary
from
storm,
we
had
first
of
all,
this
is
a
bond
funded
project.
So
we
made
an
agreement
with
the
state
of
michigan
three
years
ago
on
the
number
of
outfalls
within
the
city
of
dearborn
heights
to
separate
sanitary
from
storm.
We
did
one
there's
three
of
them,
that
we
we
bonded.
R
R
The
project,
in
addition
to
being
a
requirement
by
by
the
state
environmental
group.
It's
also
to
our
advantage,
because
we're
going
to
free
up
some
capacity
within
the
city
by
eliminating
the
potential
for
combined
sewers,
meaning
that
storm
and
sanitary
go
on
in
the
same
pipe.
So
it
is.
It
is
a
an
important
project.
It's
it's
one
of
the
largest
ever
in
the
city
of
dubai
nights,
and
so
this
is
number
two
out
of
four
projects
that
we
bonded
for.
We
have
one
more
coming
up.
R
A
R
A
R
B
A
K
A
A
D
Comes
from
councilman
council
chair
good,
you
know,
I
know
that
there's
you
know
kind
of
going
back
and
forth
here,
and
this
is
one
of
my
reasons
for
tabling
this,
but
I
want
mr
lakovich
to
know
and
public
act
78.
I
actually
know
the
attorney
here,
mr
murad
and
one
of
the
most
high
level
people
I've
ever
met
in
my
entire
32
years
of
living
he's
younger
than
me
I
went
to
he
went.
You
know
I
actually
went
to
school
with
them.
D
G
G
I
think
it's
important.
We
follow
the
rules.
I
think
it's
important
for
the
independence
of
the
commission.
I
think
it's
important
for
the
enforceability
of
the
findings
of
the
commission
and
again,
the
city
has
filed
a
circuit
court
lawsuit
asking
the
circuit
court
to
determine
that
the
dismissal
of
mr
crandall
was
was
fair
and
right,
and
that
is
that's
been
filed
and
that's
pending.
So
until
that's
determined
under
the
act,
because
mr
crandall
appealed
it.
The
the
his
dismissal
is
not
final.
A
G
A
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
The
only
concern
that
I
do
have
is
what
the
mayor
brought
up
is
about.
Other
officers
are
looking
to
be
hired
and
obviously
this
may
possibly
slow
down
the
process,
and
obviously,
we've
been
looking
to
hire
officers
for
quite
quite
some
time
now
and
if
we
have,
I
don't
know
if
we
have
candidates
or
not
like
to
presume
that
we
do.
A
G
C
Chair
again,
as
I
mentioned,
we
need
somebody
look
after
the
interest
of
the
city
with
the
charter.
We
are
following
the
charter,
what
we
did
so,
but
you
guys
are
doing
this,
so
you
gotta
have
two
people
to
vote
and
again
I
don't
want
to
talk
about
some
issues.
This
is
legal
matters,
but
I
hope
that
you
guys
vote.
You
know
not
to
table
this
here,
because
we
still
have
some
police
officers
that
we
need
to
proceed
with
the
interview
process
and
that
can
take
a
while
council.
C
D
Council
chair
and
I
and
I
respect
the
mayor
on
this-
I
do
and
this
is
a
hard
decision,
but
I
don't
we
don't
even
have
an
opinion
letter.
I
don't
have
anything
here
to
tell
me
that
hey
this
is
a
I
mean
this.
Is
we
don't
know
that,
and
so
I
gary
won't
speak
on
it.
The
attorney
never
spoke
to
us
about
it.
There's
never
a
closed
session.
There's
a
court
ruling
here.
I
can't
make
a
decision
on
this
and
I
don't
think
anybody
should
make
a
decision
on
this.
Listen,
that's
just
being
logical.
D
I
know
I
mean
and
I'm
sorry
for
the
officers
they
were
interviewing.
Do
you
still
have
a
quorum?
I
I
mean,
I
believe,
the
two
gentlemen
that
are
on
there
are
a
former
police
officer
and
a
former
fireman
or,
if
not,
I
know,
I
think
his
son
is
a
fireman.
Yes,
if
I
mean
I'm
sorry
I
I
just
I
don't
see,
the
body
should
be
making
a
decision
today
on
something
that
we
don't
have
anything
in
front
of
us.
D
C
Council
chair,
I
mean
everybody
as
we
talked
about
this
in
the
past,
not
just
this
one.
In
particular,
you
guys
have
had
this
here.
You
could
have
called
the
attorney
so
now
we're
discussing
legal
issues
here
you
could
have
picked
up
the
phone
and
called
the
attorney
yourself
yeah,
and
you
know
you
could
have
had
more
than
just
a
legal
opinion.
D
And
look
I'm
sorry,
I'm
not
here
to
go
back
and
forth
with
this
on
this,
I
don't.
I
ask
the
table
it's
because
we
don't
have
enough
information
on
this.
It's
not
that
who's
right
and
who's.
Not
to
be
honest
with
you
guys
me
personally,
if
if
this
was
already
approved
by
the
accords
or
not,
I
would
be
approving
royal
murad.
That's
one
of
my
best
friends
he's
literally
one
of
my
best
friends,
a
huge
supporter
of
mine,
but
and
if
rose
watching
right
now,
I
want
you
to
know.
D
E
A
A
But
with
that
being
the
case,
then
we're
not
getting
legal
advice
at
this
particular
point:
that's
the
concern
yeah!
So
it's
not
honestly.
I
was
under
those
things
to
mayor
that
we'd
be
able
to
get
whatever
answers
we
needed
from
gary,
but
again
I'm
not
saying
gary's
not
giving
it
to
us.
I
respect
his
opinion
and
why
he's
not-
and
I.
D
I
came
in
here
going
to
approve
this
guy
go
through
the
chair
council
chair
go
ahead.
I
I
came
in
here
today
wanting
to
approve
this.
I
swear
to
god.
I
did
mr
lokovich
brought
up
a
great
point.
There's
a
storm
circuit
court
still
pending
the
city
is
filing.
You
know
the
the
for
the
courts
to
approve
the
removal
of
him
and
if
he's
removed,
roe
is
going
to
get
on
and
the
murad
is.
The
role
is
his
nickname
but
yeah.
So.
A
I
I
can't
I
can't
say
with
with
ray
murad
very
reputable
attorney.
I've
heard
nothing
but
great
things
about
him.
I've
not
personally
used
them,
but
I've
heard
nothing
but
great
things
about
him,
so
I
I'm
very
comfortable
with
raymoron
being
on
there
at
the
same
time,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
follow
the
right
protocols
gary
you
had
something
you
want
to
say.
H
I
wanted
to
clarify
in
general,
I
have
an
issue
in
terms
of
potential
conflict
of
interest
if
I
was
to
address
anything
having
to
do
with
any
merits,
to
the
degree
that
I
don't
think,
there's
conflict
or
there's
very
unlikely
to
be
an
allegation
of
that.
I
would
only
say
it
in
a
closed
session.
Okay,
I
respect.
A
H
I
would
imagine,
since
it
is
a
process
where
it
is
just
a
de
novo
review,
as
I
understand
it,
that
it
would
really
be
a
matter
of,
is
the
circuit
court
judge
going
to
hop
on
it,
or
is
the
circuit
court
judge
not
going
to
if
the
circuit
court
judge
hopped
on
it?
It
could
be
done
relatively
quickly
if
the
circuit
court
judge
says
I'm
going
to
take
my
time
with
this.
H
H
I'm
I'm
sorry!
I
can't
give
you
a
better
answer
than
that.
This
is.
This
is
very
unusual.
I
have
never
personally
dealt
with
these
particular
issues
in
representing
the
city
or
any
other
city.
I
was
actually
special
legal
counsel
to
the
act.
78
commission
in
the
city
of
westland,
probably
in
about
1990
1991,
and
never
ran
into
it
there
either.
So
this
is
a
very
unusual
proceeding,
doesn't
normally
happen.
A
A
G
Quickly,
council
chair
when
I
was
with
the
shortly
with
the
city
of
dearborn,
the
three
attorneys
in
the
corporation
council
office
and
their
employees
appealed
the
decision
of
the
civil
service
commission
appointing
a
particular
attorney
with
less
than
the
number
of
years
experience
required.
They
appealed
it
to
circuit
court,
and
that
was
heard
in
just
really
a
matter
of
about
60
days.
N
E
A
O
O
A
A
J
Constant
chair,
councilman
ahmad,
I
move
that
the
debra
head
city
council
approve
charge

change
order.
I'm
sorry
change
order,
1a
and
change
order,

the
amount
of
3875

In
addition,

as
outlined
in

A

A
R
R
They're
on
the
punch
list
items
we've
contacted
I've
contacted
his
wife
and
today
she
assigned
a
project
manager
to
carry
on
the
work
that
her
late
husband
was
supposed
to
finish
so
we're
at
95
percent.
I
mean
we're
real
close,
it's
it's
beneficial
occupancy,
but
so
I'm
holding
off
on
all
payments
we're
not
going
to
pay
him.
We
owe
them
a
lot
more
than
the
items
are
worth
so
we
had
one
of
two
choices:
either
find
someone
else
to
finish
the
work
since
the
company.
R
It
was
a
design-build
project
or
give
her
the
chance
to
step
up
and
and
finish
the
project
and
get
her
money
back
because
we
were
close
to
like
85
000.
I
kept
retainage
on
every
payment
we
made
so
not
thinking
that
we're
going
to
lose
the
contractor,
but
so
tomorrow
we
have
a
meeting
with
the
new
project
manager
and
hopefully
by
you
know
in
the
month
we
should
we
should
wrap
it
up.
It's
not
that
many
items
left
very
few.

A
Motion
made
by
councilman
ahmad
sported
by
councilman
badoon.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this?
I
got
a
question
for
mr
d.
As
you
are
aware.
Obviously,
the
rough
city
hall
roof
situation
has
been
an
ongoing
issue
for
multiple
units
in
our
city
hall.
Yes,
sir,
provided
and
again
just
provided
this
is
approved
or
denied
either
way.
How
long
is
it
before
the
roof
is
going
to
be
completed.
R
It's
we're
final,
we're
on
the
finals.
Now
we're
really
punchless.
So
what
we
did
is
we
did
the
work
in
the
middle
of
winter,
so
it's
an
overlay
and
we
tried
to
do
it
in
a
way
to
extend
the
life
as
much
as
possible,
because
this
is
what
this
wasn't
a
replacement.
You
know
the
full
replacement
will
get
you
into
structural
repairs
underneath
and
stuff.
R
R
The
only
thing
we
didn't
include
on
that
roof
was
a
new
coping
which
is
the
aluminum
part
on
the
outside,
because
it
still
looked
good
plus
the
contractor
we
utilized
doesn't
do
aluminum
so,
instead
of
having
them
hire
a
sub
and
we
pay
markup,
we
figured
we'll
do
if
we
ever
have
to
do
it
we'll
do
our
own.
We
can
hire
someone
directly
and
save
money,
but
this
this
you
know
the
roof
is
functioning
fine.
Now.
Thank
you.
It's
a
big
difference.
Thank.

J
A
Motion
made
by
councilman
bay
dunes,
supported
by
councilman
ahmad
any
discussion
on
this.
Mr
d,
if
you
could
do
my
favorites
for
the
residents,
can
you
clarify,
because
we're
going
back
here,
two
three
years
and
we're
paying
backwards
for
this
information
that
you
feel
you
need?
What
is
the
advantage
to
us
as
a
city
in
a
sense
or
two
by
having
us
right.
R
So
so
this
is
a
piece
of
equipment
that
the
prior
administration
had
worked
out
with
the
united
states
geological
survey.
That's
the
only
monitoring
station
on
the
south
end
in
the
e-course
creek,
but
unfortunately,
the
new
administration,
including
myself.
No
one
was
aware
of
that
agreement,
so
we
didn't
utilize
it
we
didn't
know.
Last
year
until
we
were
contacted
by
the
usgs,
do
you
guys
want
to
stay
with
in
that
program?
I
I
contacted
the
engineer
in
charge
of
this
project
and,
and
we
met
on
site,
we
actually
found
the
piece
of
equipment.
R
It
is
extremely
good.
I
personally
use
it.
It
provides
a
lot
of
data
this.
I
wish
we
had
it
last
year
during
the
flood,
because
that
would
have
been
valuable.
I
wish
we
were
aware,
but
there
was
no
records
in
the
city,
but
anyway,
so
it
is
fully
functioning.
The
the
equipment
works
great.
It
provides
live
data,
24
7..
It
provides
historic
data.
You
can,
you
can
query
the
data,
and
this
is
another
tool
in
our
effort
to
fight
the
flooding
situation
on
the
ecoworks
creek.
R
It's
the
only
one
in
the
city
of
dearborn
heights.
On
the
south
side,
we
have
one
on
the
north,
but
the
south
side.
That's
the
only
the
monitoring
station
we
have
and-
and
what
I
like
to
do-
is
eventually
make
the
make
it
available
to
the
citizens
that
they
can.
You
know
just
get
their
data,
it's
public
data,
it
is
valuable
and-
and
it's
it's
part
of
our
you
know-
flood
mitigation
efforts.

S
A
A
Support
motion
made
by
councilman
ahmad
supported
by
councilman
constand,
any
discussion
on
that.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
I
drove
by
the
building
and
it
is
really
looking
beautiful.
So
I'm
glad
you
know
it's
an
older
building
there,
and
this
has
been
totally
rehabbed
and-
and
I'm
happy
with
this
because
now
we
have
a
lot
of
very
nice
businesses,
beautiful
businesses
in
the
area
we've
got
bellagio.
A
We
got
this
place
coming
up,
we've
got
hype
very
nice
place,
so
the
entrance
into
the
city
coming
from
east
west,
or
even
going
from
west
east-
it's
just
it's
just
beautiful.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all.
You
guys
do
all
in
favor,
please
state!
I
I
those
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
motion
carried
next
item
on
the
agenda.
Is
item
11b.
A
O
All
right,
I
make
a
motion
that
the
dearborn
heights
city
council
adopt
the
different
heights
resolution,
demanding
impacted
glwa
member
communities,
not
be
responsible
for
the
city
of
highland
park's
glwa
debt
and
receive
note
and
file.
The
resolution
from
the
conference
of
western
wayne
cww
demanding
impacted
glwa
member
communities
not
be
responsible
for
the
city
of
highland
parks,
gl
or
gwla.
Debt
is
outlined
in
11b.
K
C
C
So
with
that
one
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
actually
want
us
to
make
sure
we
get
the
council
in
our
case
and
if
there's
like
commissioners
other
communities
to
also
concur
with
the
resolution,
which
is
20,
20
22-001,
that's
from
the
cww
that
we
passed.
How,
in
addition
to
that,
we
had
a
meeting
on
friday
this
past
friday
and
what
they
asked
all
the
communities
they
passed
their
own
resolution
to
withhold
the
payment.
C
So
right
now
with
the
resolution
that
we
just
that
was
just
read,
that's
pretty
much
saying
to
the
state
that
we're
not
going
to
be
responsible.
So
we
want
the
state
to
take
ownership,
so
the
cww
right
now
they'll
go
after
the
state
and
say
hey.
You
know
we're
not
gonna
we're
not
responsible.
The
state
needs
to
intervene,
since
that
was
a
state
decision.
C
So
that's
the
resolution
by
the
city
that
I
actually
put
in
place
and
that's
to
tell
the
state
that
or
glwa
which
stands
for
great
lakes,
water
authority
that
we're
not
going
to
pay
any
more
money,
and
so
there's.
However,
the
money
we
still
have
to
take
it
out
and
we
have
to
put
an
escrow
in
case.
You
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
lawsuit.
It's
like
a
54
million
dollar
lawsuit,
so
we're
not
going
to
pay
to
glwa.
C
However,
we
we
still
have
to
take
the
money,
put
it
in
escrow
to
see
what
the
judge
is
going
to
rule.
So
what
this
wrote.
The
second
resolution
that
I
put
in
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
council
concurs
and
again
cww
needs
that
information
to
make
sure
that
we
concur.
So
we
can
go
to
glwa
and
tell
them
we're
not
going
to
even
pay
that
amount.

five
for
any
residents.
I've
already
had
him
purchase
mine,
so
he's
got
four
more
councilman
dave,
abdullah,
just
whispered
in
his
ear,
there's
three
more
out
there
that
he's
going
to
be
purchasing.
Also
the
councilman
dave,
abdullah
who's.
Putting
I
wrote
this
down
by
the
way
right
when
I
first
walked
in
is
just
saying.
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
in
and
engaging
our
youth
into
being
a
part
of
this.
D
Today
I
mean
this
is
spectacular.
I
remember
my
one
of
my
cousins
actually
sat
on
on
the
council
and
played
the
mayor
for
the
day
in
dearborn,
my
cousin
ali
foreign,
and
it
was
very
exciting.
I
always
wanted
to
do
it,
but
here
we
are
on
retrospect,
I'm
standing
up
on
here
and
I'm
the
councilman,
but
this
is
awesome
and
hopefully
you're
engaging
with
us
and
yes,
who
knows
down
the
line,
you
will
potentially
be
our
council.
B
D
B
D
You
know,
like
I've,
said
many
times,
you've
paved
the
way
for
me
and
for
a
lot
of
the
new
members
on
this
council.
Really
I
mean
you
go
above
and
beyond
so
I
appreciate
you
appreciate
it.
Also
thank
you
to
our
urbanized
firefighters.
I've
recently
were
able
to
break
fast.
Breaking
fast
is
definitely
you
know,
passing
their
ramadan
is
not
easy.
I
believe
seven
of
the
fire
men
were
able
to
fast,
including
our
fire
chief,
who
fasted
for
like
half
the
day,
I'll
give
them
half
of
that
credit.
D
So
I
appreciate
them
and
having
that
you
know
breaking
bread
with
them
and
the
mayor
and
our
councils,
it
was
really
really
nice
and
the
last
but
not
least,
happy
easter
to
all
my
brothers
and
sisters
of
the
christian
faith.
I'm
wishing
you
guys
to
have
a
safe
and
fun
and
happy
easter
god
bless
you
all.
D
Thank
you
and
one
last
comment.
I
I
told
the
council
chair
to
er
our
madam
chair
and
dana.
Today
we
were
going
to
make
this
councilman
go
extremely
fast.
The
mayor
said
hurry
up
and
get
it
going.
So
I'd
like
to
believe
it's
only
7
30
we're
going
to
be
able
to
break
fast
in
less
than
an
hour,
so,
let's
keep
it
rolling.
Thank
you.
A
G
You
council,
chair-
and
I
too
want
to
wish
everyone
this
sunday,
a
happy
easter
who
follow
the
particular
calendar
and
next
sunday
for
the
gregorian
calendar,
the
orthodox
easter,
happy
easter,
and
I
want
to
thank
councilman
bae
doom
for
having
the
iftar
dinner
for
the
and
having
the
firefighters
fast.
It's
good
exposure
to
ever
to
the
city
and
everyone,
for
you
know
what
what
goes
on
during
ramadan
the
the
fasting
and
the
reading
of
the
quran
and
so
forth.
So
thank
you.
G
The
I
really
support
the
resolution
regarding
the
great
lakes
water
authority,
making
sure
that
all
the
cities
pay
their
fair
share.
I
lived
through
the
city
of
detroit
bankruptcy.
It
was
one
of
like
three
municipal
bankruptcies
ever
filed
and
it
everybody
has
to
agree
and
vote
and
it
I
think
it
did
a
lot
more
damage
than
than
it
than
people
would
thought
it
would
do
a
lot
of
cities
in
the
area.
City
of
inkster
city
of
garden
city
have
had
to
assess
all
their
residents
for
the
city
garden
city.
G
For
a
couple
of,
I
think
it
was
like
a
15
million
dollar
judgment
against
the
city
of
garden
city.
That
was
appealed
all
the
way
to
the
michigan
supreme
court
and
the
city
lost,
and
so
it
went
on
the
tax
rolls
city
of
inkster.
The
settlement
for
the
gentleman
who
was
beaten
up
in
the
city
and
and
a
lot
of
cities
are
strapped,
but
it's
important
for
the
whole
system
to
work
that
everyone
pay
their
fair
share.
K
K
A
Is
that
the
one
that's
shut
down,
I
do
know
actually,
as
a
realtor,
that's
been
shut
down
for
a
while.
It's
been
up
for
sale
for
quite
a
while
and
unfortunately
not
the
right
buyers
come
forward
as
of
yet,
but
it
is
for
sale.
It
is
shut
down
and
actually,
as
a
city,
we'd
love
we'd
love
to
have
its
help.
Go
ahead.
Gary.
H
A
C
So
address
their
concern.
Also
so
there's
a
company
outside
the
gas
station
today
or
the
old
gas
station.
They
were
cleaning
up.
They,
they
got
all
the
branches,
all
the
a
lot
of
shrubbery.
They
actually
cleaned
it
up
and
it
looks
pretty
good
for
the
last
at
least
the
last
couple
hours,
so
they
did
clean
up
the
site
today.
D
O
I'd
like
to
thank
our
parks
and
recreation
and
all
the
people
that
participated
in
saturday's,
marshmallow
drop,
we
had
two
go-arounds
with
a
helicopter
and
the
kids
enjoyed
it
thoroughly
and
there
were
over
500
people
there.
So
it
was
a
great
thing
put
on
by
the
city
for
the
families
of
the
community,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
our
fire,
or
rather
our
police
department,
because
I
personally
had
experience
on
my
block
two
and
a
half
weeks
ago.
When
there
there
were
shots
fired
and
they
were
there.
S
O
Time
at
all,
and
they
took
care
of
the
situation
and
my
cats
enjoyed
looking
out
the
window
at
the
red
and
blue
lights,
but
we
also
had
an
instance
last
night
at
12
30.
somebody
running
down
the
street
really
fast
and
they
took
care
of
that
as
well.
So
I
really
want
to
give
a
hand
to
our
police
department.
J
I
also
would
like
to
congratulate
our
libraries
and
mr
mccarthy
for
the
for
being
the
finalists
for
the
imls
2002
national
medal
from
museum
and
library
services,
and
I
know
this
sunday
is
easter,
which
is
all
about
joy,
hope
and
coming
together
with
neighbors
or
sitting
down
to
a
special
meal
with
loved
ones.
So
I
would
like
to
wish
all
the
residents
who
observe
a
very
happy
easter
also
april
is
the
national
arab
heritage
month.
J
A
Any
other
council
members
just
a
quick
comment.
I
just
want
to
commend
a
lot
of
the
vendors
that
we've
had
in
the
city
for
ramadan,
especially
the
one
that
I
went
to.
I
happened
to
go
to
the
elite
sports
one
and
just
well:
organized
well,
kept
safe,
just
just
a
whole,
just
really
really
nice
event.
So
I
want
to
commend
the
administration
of
helping
put
that
together
and
it's
been
very
well
run.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next.
P
Okay,
there
you
go.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
everybody
I
just
want
to
let
everybody
know
I'm
home,
my
whole
household's
been
hit
with
coven,
and
so
we
couldn't
take
a
chance
on
coming
even
sitting
in
the
back.
So,
but
I
thank
you
for
this
opportunity,
as
you
know,
or
most
know
that
this
is
the
monday
was
the
start
of
the
holiest
week
in
the
christian
faith.
P
It
hurts
because
my
very
good
friend
selena
has
a
nice
place
there
at
elite
sports,
and
I
really
want
to
visit
her
she's
using
my
driveway
for
her
car
once
she's
here.
So
I
feel
bad
that
I
can't
I
can't
get
there,
but
hopefully
in
the
next
week
or
so
I
should
be
able
to
join
you
all
for
for
breaking
fast
and-
and
I
thank
everybody
and
everybody
have
a
good
evening
and
I'm
very
proud
of
my
council
members-
you
all
did
a
great
job
tonight-
very
good
job.
A
C
C
I
also
just
echo
a
lot
of
the
comments
that
were
made
here.
Thank
I
want
to
thank
all
the
directors
doing
a
great
job
and
also
for
the
budget.
You
know
a
lot
of
them
worked
a
lot
of
hours.
I
know
mr
cebuda
worked
15
16
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week
with
the
chief
of
staff
mariana
trying
to
put
this
thing
together,
glad
that
they're
both
still
okay,
they
didn't
rip
each
other's
hair.
C
C
They
started
a
fight,
but
the
police
officers
on
the
scene.
You
know
they
called
back
up
and
it
was
within.
Like
few
minutes
there
was
five
police
officers
on
the
scene
defuse
the
situation.
It
was
great.
Nobody
noticed
anything,
so
I
want
to
thank
the
police
officers
for
their
professionalism.
The
way
they
reacted
to
the
scene
and
just
diffused,
it
was
very
quick,
the
residents
they
loved
it,
the
the
presence
of
our
police
officers.
Also,
I
want
to
recognize
our
chief
heart,
so
him
and
his
wife
they
came
down.
C
She
noticed
that
barbecue
was
was
damaged,
so
she
spent
she
came
back
a
few
a
few
days
ago,
spent
few
hundred
bucks
and
bought
the
police
officers
a
brand
new
barbecue.
So
mrs
hart,
the
chief's
wife.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
one
of
just
an
update
on
warren
valley
golf
course.
We
had
a
meeting
on
wednesday
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion.
C
As
we
all
know,
the
previous
concession
there
left
the
place
a
mess.
They
pretty
much
took
everything
you
know
I
was
trying
to
hold
back.
You
know
not
to
say
anything,
but
I
keep
getting
calls
from
residents.
You
know
like
hey
how
come
you
haven't
opened
this
place
up.
You
know-
and
I'm
compelled
again
to
mention
really
what
happened.
They
pretty
much
took
everything
anything
that
was
not
bolted
down
to
the
ground
they
took,
including
stuff.
C
C
So
we
are
discussing
the
contract
right
now,
and
so
we
instructed
they.
They
wanted
to
put
some
numbers
together
because
they
came
back.
They
did
a
walk
through
on
friday.
They
noticed
a
few
things
that
they
haven't
noticed,
and
you
know
when
they
did
look
that
when
they
did
look
at
the
course
initially,
there
was
a
lot
of
items
that
were
at
the
co
at
the
bankwood
and
also
at
the
golf
course
in
the
garage.
But
when
they
came
back
on
friday,
a
lot
of
items
disappeared,
so
it
was.
C
There
has
to
be
a
lot
of
negotiations
and
again,
you
know
we're
meeting
again
on
wednesday
morning
to
go
through
a
lot
of
the
details.
So
I'll
keep
you
guys
in
the
loop
on
that.
So
today
also
was
a
good
day.
They
actually
launched
a
drone
to
fly
over
the
e-course
creek.
It
was
amazing.
It
was
this.
This
drone
was
just
like
outstanding.
C
You
know
the
technology
that
was
in
it,
and
so
they
they
did
launch
the
drone
around
10
o'clock
this
morning,
and
I
don't
know
the
details
yet
you
know,
but
they
were
supposed
to
fly
all
the
way
from
inkster.
That's
what
we
started
and
they're
going
to
go
all
the
way
down
to
south
field,
so
the
whole
city
of
dearborn
heights
e-course,
where
the
e-course
creek
is,
they
will
map
it
and
it
was
explained
it
was
it's
amazing,
the
technology
that
they
have.
You
know
what
they
can
find,
what
they
can
see.
C
C
You
know
where
there's
you
know
sediments
also
in
in
the
creek,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
get
the
final
report
to
see
this
is
going
to
really
help
the
city
of
dearborn
heights
apply
for
grants,
so
we
can
actually
see
you
know
where
the
issues
are,
where
the
obstacles.
What
needs
to
be
done?
You
know
if
we
have
to
widen
it
dredge
it.
A
A
Yeah
they
they,
I
know,
I
know
the
attorney
is
not
giving
me
that
he's.
Give
me
the
bad
I'd,
not
say
more,
but
I
have
my
feelings
on
this,
but
it's
not
the
word
took,
but
I've
got
it.
I've
got
a
little
concern
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
Mr
mayor,
so
I
looked
through
the
budget,
just
a
quick
run
through
through
it,
and
we're
going
to
start
on
the
19th
going
through
this
and
for
those
in
the
audience
and
maybe
on
zoom.
It
is
up
on
the
website.
Is
that
correct?
A
D
C
A
A
So
therefore
the
tech,
you
know
for
a
lot
of
the
residents,
we're
saving
on
having
them
pay
more
taxes,
but
I
just
like
to
get
somebody
for
the
city
as
a
whole
and
just
bring
in
their
grants
it.
I
think
it'd
be
really
really
important
and
I'm
I'd
like
to
hope
you
think
everybody's
going
like
this,
so
yeah,
I'm
hoping
it
would
be
in
favor
of
that.
So.
C
She
would
love
that,
because
she's
tracking
a
lot
of
things
right
now,
she's
doing
just
not
just
her
job
she's
she's
tracking
grants,
she's
making
sure
that
you
know
they're
closed
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
to
go
with
the
grants.
So
she
is
open.
The
idea
she's
actually
mentioned
that,
like
we
need
that
we
need.
C
C
T
T
T
Dearborn
heights
is
the
first
public
library
honored
as
a
finalist
from
the
state
of
michigan
since
2010,
but
I
want
to
thank
most
of
all
our
city,
our
residents,
administrations
and
councils
past
and
present
it's
been
a
long,
long
trip
for
making
this
possible.
This
is,
and
always
has
been
a
team
effort.
T
A
V
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
cultural
relations
commission,
so
our
april
meeting
was
cancelled
due
to
our
lack
of
quorum,
so
we
would
appreciate
it
if
you
guys
would
put
the
two
vacant
positions
on
the
next
agenda.
They
told
me
to
ask
nicely
because
I
normally
don't
our
autism
acceptance
and
awareness
basket.
Initiative
is
also
an
amazing
start.
So
we
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
dearborn
heights
fire
department,
which
graciously
agreed
to
pay
for
all
of
the
items
on
our
amazon
wish
list.
V

U
Hi

just
you,
know:
katie
king
deputy,
director
of
parks
and
recreation
councilwoman.
Thank
you
for
bringing
up
the
marshmallow
drop.
I
just
wanted
to
come
up
and
thank
everybody
for
coming
out
and
a
special
thank
you
to
our
dpw
department,

They
donated
1,
000,
goodie
bags
and
raffled
off
two
bikes
for
the
community.
So
it's
a
really
great
turnout.
Everybody.
Thank
you.
A
A
O
All
right,
I'd
like
to
announce
it
on
may
14th
our
public,
our
post
office
people
will
be
doing
a
collection
of
food
items
that
won't
fall
apart
or
get
stale.
So
if
you
could
remember
on
on
may
14th
to
put
them
out
and
identify
that
the
post
people
will
pick
it
up
for
you,
yeah
non-perishables,
what
I
was
looking
for,
okay
and
the
other
thing
is-
we
talked
about
the
course
creek.
O
We
do
have
a
meeting
coming
up
on
the
27th,
which
is
a
wednesday,
and
that
would
be
at
6
00
pm
and
we'll
update
you
on
everything.
That's
current.
As
of
that
date,
I'm
working
on
additional
speakers
other
than
poor,
mr
deeb
and
marianna
at
all
times,
and
that's
6
p.m.
At
3,
3,
3,
5,
south
beach
daily.
O
A
W
A
A
X
Good
afternoon,
just
to
remind
everybody
who's
attending,
including
council
members
that
the
city
already
seeking
applicant
for
the
rehab
applications
to
update
their
homes.
Those
applicants
should
be
eligible
if
they
are
meeting
certain
level
of
income
and
they
own
their
own
property
and
yearbook
heights.
X
We
have
a
lot
of
grant
money
to
apply
for
number
two.
We
do
still
have
a
help
for
rent
mortgages
utility
to
pay
any
related
covered,
19
expenditures
that
the
resident
homeowners
rentals
that
faced
a
result
of
dealing,
mitigating
covert,
19
effect,
which
still
raging
up
to
this
date.
To
also
give
the
chairman
of
our
city
council
an
idea
how
and
very
only
few
minutes
how
grant's
works
start
with
the
department,
the
department
initiate
grants,
basically
to
assist
their
own
operations
and
activity
to
pay
for
that.
X
W
W
I've
been
fielding
questions
all
week
because
I
have
a
meeting
at
the
canfield
center
coming
the
27th
wednesday
here
with
a
lot
of
your
constituents
and
I've
been
getting
calls
at
home
about.
What's
you
know,
what's
happening
and
everybody's
concerned
about
it
because
of
the
fact
that
everybody
was
happy
when
I
moved
the
league
over
here
when
the
city
took
over
the
golf
course
that
at
warren
valley
and
they're
concerned,
obviously,
negotiations
are
going
on.
W
I
was
glad
to
hear
the
information
I'm
happy
to
hear
about
the
state
of
affairs
with
the
physical
plant
with
the
way
it
was
left,
but
whether
wondering
when
it's
going
to
be
open
like
that,
but
the
work
they're
concerned
about
is
because
negotiations
are
ongoing
and
when
you
have
a
legal
aspect,
I
don't
think
it
can
take
a
while
longer
than
expected,
but
what
their
membership
is
concerned
about?
A
lot
of
them
been
golfing
for
many
years.
They
know
about
it.
W
The
question
I
wanted
to
ask
is
anything
being
done
so
that
I
can
tell
the
membership
of
the
league
and
and
also
make
it
aware
of
the
other
people
that
are
interested
parties,
because,
obviously,
like
yourself,
he
made
the
comment:
that's
the
jewel
of
dearborn
heights.
I
think
it's
got
tremendous
potential
samir,
but
I
wanted
to
get
some
information
about
that,
if,
at
all
possible.
C
Council,
chair
glad,
mr
mayor,
so
what
that's
one
of
the
negotiations
that
we're
doing
right
now
is
we're
talking
about.
One
of
the
words
that
was
mentioned
is
to
moth
ball,
obviously
to
go
in
there,
but
I
don't
like
that
term
because
I
do
want
somebody
to
make
sure
I
mean.
Obviously
I
mean
I
understand
what
needs
to
get
done,
especially
golf
courses.
I've
consulted
with
some
experts,
you
know
from
other
golf
courses,
they
came
and
viewed
it
as
well.
C
Excuse
me,
we
are
that's
one
of
the
negotiations
that
we're
doing
with
the
current
concession
here
is
what
they're
going
to
do
to
the
actual
greens.
You
know
in
the
meantime,
so
that's
that's
a
priority
for
us
too.
So
we
did
discuss
that
on
a
couple
days
ago
with
the
meeting
and
that's
why
we
actually
accelerated
to
make
sure
that
the
first
day
we
can
negotiate
it's
on
wednesday
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
brought
up.
You
know
for
them
to
come
back
and
tell
us
what
they're
going
to
do
with
the
greens.
W
W
Yeah
in
terms
of
a
golf
course,
that's
the
most
sensitive
part
of
the
greens,
because
they're
exposed
to
so
many
things
because
of
the
way
they're
cut
and
have
to
be
maintained
on
it,
and
you
have
to
have
somebody
who
doesn't
has
epa
approval
to
deal
with
the
chemicals
and
stuff
that
are
involved
on
a
golf
course.
They
can
be
quite
dangerous
and
so,
like
I
said,
I
had
a
number
of
long-time
residents
of
dearborn
heights.
Calling
me
up
since
I've
called
him
to
the
meeting
again
on
the
27th
at
canfield
center.
W
A
Y
Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
bilal
hamoud,
16860,
west
sider
drive.
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
appreciation
for
the
city
this
last
week,
specifically,
we
saw
dearborn
heights
operate
at
one
of
its
highest
performances
that
I've
ever
seen
in
my
life
as
a
resident,
the
marshmallow
drop,
was
a
phenomenal
event.
The
firefighters
event
was
amazing.
We
for
those
of
you
that
didn't
know
the
dearborn
heights.
Y
Firefighters
have
been
working
on
better
connecting
with
the
residents
of
this
city
and
in
a
way
to
do
this,
they
hosted
an
event
at
the
mosque
and
they
were
able
to
give
out
150
every
single
one
that
they
printed
of
the
translated
file
of
life,
forms
that
they've
been
giving
out
to
residents.
If
we're
talking
about
accessibility
and
better
connecting
with
residents,
it's
amazing,
the
mayor,
was
there
a
lot
of
the
council
members.
Were
there,
the
fire
department
was
there
and
we
saw
what
it
was
like
for.
Y
Residents
have
better
access
to
the
resources
that
they're
entitled
to
it's
awesome
and
we've
been
seeing
just
a
lot
of
success.
We
all
knew
that
the
libraries
of
dearborn
heights
were
the
best,
but
now
we
have
a
nationally
recognized
award,
that's
being
yeah,
that
we've
been
nominated
for
just
to
prove
that
it's
a
reason
why
I
literally
carry
my
library
card
on
me
at
all
times.
That's
a
shout
out
to
mike,
but
I
just
want
to
commend
the
city
for
the
work
that
you
guys
have
been
doing.
Y
C
L
Hello
again,
rachel
lapoint
woo,
that's
loud
today,
so
I
had
a
few
things.
First
off
I
know
everybody's
been
wishing
everybody
a
happy,
easter
and
happy
blessed
ramadan.
I
don't
want
to
forget
some
of
our
other
faiths
that
have
big
celebrations
right
now.
Our
jewish
friends
are
about
to
celebrate
passover
this
friday,
so
a
blessed
passover
to
them
and
our
hindu
friends
just
celebrated.
I'm
have
no
idea
if
I'm
pronouncing
this
right
ram
navami
so
to
them
as
well.
L
L
Close
enough,
the
general
ideas
there.
I
also
wanted
to
suggest
dave
with
your
students
that
you're
having
come.
We
have
in
d7
a
couple
of
our
middle
schoolers
that
have
been
coming
to
our
school
board.
Meetings
are
just
amazing.
They
will
they'll,
give
you
guys
great
ideas
like
you
want
them
here.
So
talk
about.
L
A
K
L
The
final
rule
and
guidelines
from
the
federal
government
have
been
released
and
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
is
included
as
an
allowed
expense
for
covid
funds,
including
things
like
green
infrastructure
items
like
bioswales,
and
you
know,
like
wetland
restoration,
permeable
pavement
all
these
kinds
of
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
years
to
do
with
the
creek,
even
some
of
the
smaller
projects
like
rain
gardens
and
these
small
things.
If
we
can
use
some
of
that
coven
money
for
this
we're
supposed
to
get
25
million
dollars,
it's
a
lot
of
money.
L
L
Also
one
other
thing,
and
I'm
kind
of
just
going
to
speak
from
the
heart
for
a
second
and
I'm
not
going
to
take
too
long.
I
don't
have
like
a
lot
of
skin
in
the
game,
necessarily
I'm
here,
because
I
care,
I
don't
have
any
financial
interests.
I
don't
have
any
personal
interests,
I'm
not
going
to
benefit
in
any
way
by
being
involved
in
the
city.
L
L
We
we're
right
here
talking
to
each
other,
and
I
just
want
to
you
know,
encourage
all
of
you
to
really
remember
that
and
keep
that
at
your
heart,
because
that's
important,
there's,
there's
people
getting
hurt
and
we
need
to
do
what
we
can
to
not
hurt
people,
and
I
think
all
of
you
understand
kind
of
where
I'm
going
with
that
and
that's
all
thank
you.
So
much
have
a
good
night.
Thank.
Z
Z
H
You're
over
simplifying
things,
for
example,
there
are
thresholds
and
there
are
things
that,
for
example,
the
mayor
can
set
the
the
amount
provided.
It's
within
budgeted
amounts
for
employees
who
basically
are
under
his
jurisdiction.
So
it's
kind
of
actually
a
vague
question
and
the
vagary
makes
a
difference
in
this
particular
situation.
So,
for
example,
you
have
various
thresholds
and
then
you
have
various
areas
of
authority
that
sometimes
are
vested
in
the
executive
branch
and
sometimes
are
vested
in
the
legislative
branch.
H
Some
of
these
things
are
pre-authorized
in
terms
of
that,
every
time
someone
ends
up
going
over
to,
for
example,
a
service
station
they're
actually
entering
into
a
contract,
people
don't
think
of
it
that
way,
but
that's
what
you're
doing
when
you
end
up
buying
fuel
and
if
those
things
are
pre-authorized,
it
doesn't
have
to
come
to
the
city
council,
it's
nowhere
near
the
threshold
that
would
end
up
being
involved.
So
your
question,
I
would
say,
is.
Z
The
reason
why
I
asked
is
like
employment
contract
back
a
couple
months
ago,
right
after
the
mayor
hired
a
police
commissioner,
somebody
had
asked
the
mayor
how
much
the
police
commissioner
was
making
the
mayor's
answer
to
that
question.
Was
he
didn't
know
he
didn't?
Have
the
contract
in
front
of
him?
Is
that
an
employment
contract
is
that
contract
readily
available?
Is
there
a
severance
paying
that
contract
do
other
employees
have
contracts
that
city
council
doesn't
know
about
that?
Might
cause
financial
payments
in
the
future?
H
Mr
blackburn,
specifically
one
of
the
items
that
you
mentioned
has
to
do
with
the
commissioner.
I
think
you've
been
here.
You've
heard
me
state
that,
with
respect
to
him
very
clearly,
I
don't
feel
comfortable
based
on
a
potential
conflict
of
interest,
because
his
former
employer,
I
had
ended
up
being
involved
in
claims
against
which
were
resolved,
and
they
had
some
pertinence
to
him.
Even
though
he
was
not
an
adverse
party,
all
right.
H
Z
Z
I've
been
employed
with,
say,
28
years.
This
is
the
first
year
in
the
sa
budget
that
employee
line
items
have
employees
have
not
their
salaries
have
not
been
posted
online.
I
items
I'd
like
to
know
what
the
change
is
with
the
line
items.
I've
seen,
departments
increases
in
salaries
from
this
current
budget
to
next
budget
are
two
different
dollar
amounts.
Why
are
they
two
different
dollar
amounts?
Is
there
aimed
by
non-union
gang
arrays?
I
don't
know.
Z
I
hope
city
council
requests
and
demands
that
the
individual
line
items
for
every
employee
is
listed.
My
salary
is
listed
in
also
in
there.
I
like
to
know.
If
departments
are
being
employees
are
being
cut
from
departments
that
stuff's
not
listed
in
order
for
city
council
to
make
a
decision
on
the
budget.
I
think
those
items
should
be
in
there
back
in
december.
Z
I
asked
state
council
to
reject
the
races
for
the
elected
officials,
because
I
had
heard
some
things
about
the
budget
that
were
not
sounding
good
and
I
asked
that
they
defer
for
last
for
next,
two
years
until
we
find
out
where
the
budget
is
at
that
time,
city
council
passed,
it
elected
officers
got
raises,
department,
heads
got
raises
I've
sat
here.
I've
listened
to
other
unions,
talk
how
they
were
up
for
nothing.
I've
heard
the
mayor
discuss
that
if
he
has
to
give
out
raises
the
city's
got
to
file
for
bankruptcy.
Z
Z
Until
all
you
all
unions
get
raised
across
the
board,
the
non-union
should
get
the
same
percentage
as
all
the
union
positions,
because
there's
about
five
contracts
up,
my
contract
expires
june
30th
of
this
year,
and
it's
not
fair
that
people
that
work
32
hours
a
week
get
21
000
raise
and
I
get
a
500
sign
bonus
or
whatever
is
offered
compared
to
what
these
other
unions
are.
I
think
it's
unfair
and
thank
you
very
much,
I'm
out
of
time.
AA
AA
AA
You
can't
use
that
money
that
money
is
specifically
for
act
345
for
the
pension,
and
I
want
to
know
why
it's
on
the
general
ledger
and
kind
of
mushed
in
with
everything
to
make
it
look
like
the
amount.
That's
in
the
ledger
is
something
different
than
what's
actually
there,
because
once
bills
start
getting
paid,
we're
going
to
be
in
the
negative
unless
you
go
into
pension
money,
unless
you
find
the
money
from
someplace
else
and
the
police
in
the
fire
pension
is
untouchable,
it's
illegal
to
touch
it.
AA
A
AA
AA
Nobody
likes
to
be
asked
to
do
different
things
if
their
mind
set
to
do
one
thing,
but
if
it's
a
safety
issue,
that's
what
police
are
hired
to
do
and
police
are
supposed
to
keep
the
public
safe
and
it's
not
fair
to
attack
them
for
doing
their
job.
So
that's
my
opinion
of
it
and
they're
there
to
keep
people
safe,
that's
their
job,
so
other
than
that.
That's
it.
A
E
I
I
I
don't
want
to
take
the
council's
time
up
this
evening
as
to
how
that's
all
done,
but
again
we
have
set
up
in
the
proposed
budget
for
2223,
specifically
the
employer
pension
contribution,
the
paygo
healthcare
and
the
expenditures
that
are
required
to
allow
the
pension
systems
to
run
on
the
public
safety
side
through
the
public
deck
public
act.
345
levy,
you'll
notice
in
your
packages,
we've
proposed
a
a
resolution
which
will
highlight
the
actual
rates
that
are.
We
are
recommending
in
order
to
pay
for
those
costs,
and
they
are
all.
I
G
A
Okay,
so
just
for
the
general
audience
and
I've
got
the
dates
here,
it's
online,
but
just
in
case
we're
gonna
have
budget
sessions
on
the
19th
at
5,
30
p.m.
There
will
be
opening
remarks
and,
of
course,
this
is
available
for
all
residents
to
show
up
to
I'm
99
sure
it's
going
to
be
on
zoom
also.
Is
that
correct?
Madam
clerk?
A
I
There
is
one
other
thank
you,
mr
chair.
There
is
one
other
comment
that
I
I
want
to
make
very
clear
here:
public
act,
2
of
1968
as
amended
michigan
pilot
law,
141
states
that
you
cannot
pass
a
budget
that
is,
that
is
in
a
deficit
position.
So
we
are.
