Next

of

comments
from
council
members.
A
The
none
next
up,
we
have
a
closed
session
requested
by
the
mayor
and
administration.
E
I
moved
at
the
Dearborn
Heights
city
council
moved
to
a
closed
session
at
4,
34
PM,
so
that
the
city
council
may
discuss
police
Personnel
issues
which
may
include
mayor
bezier,
Corporation
Council
for
arena,
human
resource
director,
Hazel
police,
chief
heart
director,
swole
and
director
vendor
plow,
as
outlined
in
15-8.
D
Chair
councilman
I,
don't
believe
that
this
closed
session
on
designated
as
police.
D
A
Session,
okay,
I
I
can
tell
you
councilman
that
further
mayor's
initial
request
to
me.
It
was
in
regards
to
Personnel
issues
and
evaluation
with
the
police
department,
but
I,
don't
know
the
specifics.
We
just
authorized
it
based
on
that,
so
clerk
can
speak
or
Roger.
Do
you
have
something
that.
B
A
Yeah
I
mean
contracts,
negotiations
and
evaluations
do
fall
under
closed
meetings
act.
But
again
when
we
set
the
meeting
councilman,
we
don't
go
into
a
full
discussion
as
far
as
what
the
specifics
of
the
meeting
are.
It's
just.
The
request
is
based
on
allowable
closed
session
criteria,
Well.
C
C
I,
don't
even
know
the
specific
stuff,
so
under
the
open
meetings
actors
we
all
know,
items
such
as
this
are,
you
know,
should
be
discussed
in
a
closed
session,
but
number
two
in
just
to
mention
the
the
council
that
decision
on
whether
something
should
be
in
a
closed
session
is
made
prior
to
now,
when
it's
brought
to
the
city
council.
F
C
So
it's
just
a
pro
forma
sure.
You
know
the
mayor
and
the
City
attorney
they're
aren't
familiar
with
the
open
meetings
active.
What
should
be
in
a
Open
Session
should
be
in
a
closer.
So
it's
not
something
that
we
should
be
debating.
You
know
just
before
the
just
before
the
meeting.
If
somebody
has
any
questions,
they
can
call
before
me
sure.
D
A
Don't
know
if
we
could
necessarily
say
that
I
can
tell
you
something:
I
mean
I
had
to
pull
up
my
emails
and
I.
Don't
want
to
stop
the
meeting
to
pull
up
the
emails.
I
can't
tell
you
in
the
emails
that
were
coming
in.
It
was
in
regards
to
evaluations
of
members
of
specific
members
of
the
police
department
requested
by
the
police
chief
and
the
mayor.
D
Is
this?
Are
these
people
questioned
going
to
attend
yeah.
A
D
E
D
C
F
Think
the
answer
was
clear:
that
we've
already
identified
evaluation
and
Personnel
issues,
no
I
haven't
seen
anything
in
the
last
year,
but
you
go
into
more
details
and
for
beforehand
for
a
closed
session
and
I.
Think,
as
as
city
council
pointed
out
correctly,
there
are
times
to
raise
these
issues
rather
than
right.
When
we're
going
into
the
meeting.
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
on
this,
like
I'm,
trying
to
pull
it
up
right
now
on
my
phone
councilman,
but
obviously
I
don't
hold
up
the
meeting
while
I'm
trying
to
pull
up
something
on
my
phone,
but
you're
welcome
to
address
this
at
the
beginning
of
the
closed
session,
we
can
go
from
there
keep
in
mind.
Let's
just
use
a
hypothetical
here.
If,
let's
just
say
for
the
sake
of
argument
councilman,
your
argument
is
correct:
it
not
be
into
a
closed
session.
A
A
A
The
email
was
sent
to
myself
as
a
Council
chair,
buy
from
my
best
of
my
recollection
by
the
mayor
and
police
chief.
The
mayor
would
be
obviously
oh
he's
right
there.
Do
you
mind
coming
in.
Maybe
you
could
answer
this
a
little
bit
better,
so
councilman,
Wenzel
councilman,
the
mayor
is
here
so
I
just
ask
him
directly:
I
don't
want
to
either
go.
D
D
C
C
C
D
A
Motion
carry
thank
you
very
much
so
at
this
particular
Point.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
go
into
a
closed
session
for
the
vote.
I
do
want
to
let
members
of
the
audience
know
that
are
here
and
on
Zoom
for
the
email
from
the
chief
and
the
mayor.
This
is
going
to
be
roughly
60
to
70
80
minutes,
so
just
giving
you
guys
at
least
a
heads
up,
we'll
be
coming
back
to
an
open
meeting,
we'll
go
ahead
and
and
make
whatever
decision
it
is
from
there.
A
E
A
Okay
motion
made
by
councilman,
Ahmad
and
seconded
by
councilman
constant
any
discussion
on
that.
Okay
just
quickly
for
those
in
the
audience
we
do
have
to
apologize
to
you
that
we
had
a
closed
session.
That
was
supposed
to
take
about
60
to
90
minutes,
but
unfortunately
it
took
a
little
longer
than
that
I
apologize,
but
we
had
no
choice
so
we're
back
on
track,
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
off
this
meeting
and
then
start
off
the
regular
city
council
meeting.
A
We
got
a
vote
on
the
Atlanta,
that's
what
I'm
saying
yeah.
So
any
discussions
on
that
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
stay
right.
Any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
motion
carried
