C
C
I
for
one
I
tell
you,
you
know
personally,
I've
had
a
good
working
relationship
with
our
attorney
or
or
maybe
not
an
official
capacity
right
now
as
we
speak,
but
the
attorney
gary
miyatki,
I
think,
he's
done
a
pretty
good
job.
As
I
mentioned
in
previous
meetings
as
a
prosecutor
in
the
court
system,
I've
asked
and
again
I've
been
told
that
he's
done
a
good
job
there
and
they're
very
comfortable
with
them,
but
at
the
same
time
I
think
it
has
to
be
in
discussion
at
this
particular
point.
C
The
fact
that
for
multiple
years
there's
been
a
lot
of
requests
from
different
council
members
of
possible
changes
or
or
other
options,
and
I
for
one
have
always
been
of
their
opinion
and
will
still-
and
I
am
still
of
the
opinion
today-
that
a
gary
miyatki
be
one
of
the
people
that
would
be
considered
and
he'd,
be
one
of
the
favorites
out
very
serious
to
consider.
But
at
the
same
time,
I'd
like
to
see
what
other
options
we
have
available
to
us.
C
If
we
are
going
to
go
dire
in
a
direction
of
talking
to
possible
other
firms,
then
at
this
particular
point,
what
I
would
suggest
is
maybe
we
appoint
gary
miyatki
up
to
maybe
june
and
then
decide
where
we
go
from
there,
and
this
would
be
included
in
the
item.
If
you
recall
that
we
received
in
its
public
knowledge,
now,
okay,
we're
here
the
agreement
that
he
had
sent
us
and
that
one
said
through
june.
C
So
I
just
want
to
open
that
up
for
discussion,
because
we
need
to
discuss
it
now
for
all
I'm
bored
with
going
with
gary
miyaki.
Who
again,
I
would
say,
has
done
a
pretty
good
job.
Then
then
that's
what
it
is,
but
again
in
multiple
multiple
past
meetings.
There
was
talk
about
different
council
members
to
get
somebody
else
as
a.
G
You
know-
and
I
agree
with
councilman
dave
abdullah
about
you
know
I
was
one
being
wanted
to
see
our
other
options,
but
at
the
present
time,
with
everything
being
new.
The
council,
chair
with
with
a
new
mayor
two
new
appointees
on
on
on
the
city
council,
that
the
new
mayor
have
somebody
that's
familiar
with
the
city
through
at
least
the
election
and
then
after
the
election.
Whoever
may
be
fortunate
enough
to
win,
can
then
submit
names
at
that
time
in
january.
G
C
G
Or
jet
whatever
the
date
is
in
january
or
november,
would
be
good
for
me
because
of
familiarity.
You
know
it's
going
to
expire
on
january.
2Nd
excuse
me,
2022
is
outlined
at
8
a
so
that
would
be
good.
It
would
give
the
the
mayor
and
the
council
somebody
that's
familiar
with
the
city
up
until
the
election.
So
that's
what
I
I
I
want
to
stick
with
the
same
motion,
if
possible.
A
C
Abdullah,
so
I
I
I
was
looking
under
eight,
I
I
pulled
up
the
maintenance
maintenance
of
services
agreement
and
on
number
seven
of
that
agreement
says
this
agreement
shall
remain
in
effect
until
the
council
confirms
slash,
approves
the
appointment
of
a
corporation
council
or
until
june
30th
2021.
So
that's
the
date
that
was
coming
up
with
at
the
time.
So
if
we
approve
a
new
corporation
council
that
would
not
apply,
but
if
we
didn't
I'm
just
saying
in
that
agreement,
it
had
set
through
june
30th.
G
D
I
do
agree
with
councilman
dave
abdullah.
We
all
wanted
a
new,
at
least
a
group
of
names,
to
come
in
in
front
of
the
city
council
to
select
one
with
agreement
with
the
mayor,
and
I
would
like
really
to
see
if
we
can
make
it
to
june
30th,
and
maybe
at
that
time
the
mayor
can
bring
names,
including
mr
mayatki,
especially
now.
D
E
Madam
chair,
I
I
I
agree
with
you.
I
agree
with
councilman
abdul-haq
and
councilman
abdullah
ahmed
as
well.
I
think
it's
important
that
we,
you
know,
we
move.
You
know
immediately
with
having
a
corporate
council.
We
haven't
had
a
corporate
council
for
a
pretty
long
time,
so
I
mean,
I
think
we
do.
We
need
to
move
forward
with
that
motion,
but
I
also
think
that
we
have
to
put
it
to
the
dates.
I
think
that
councilman
abdullah
and
councilman
abdelhack
also
stated
so
that
we
can
have
all
their
bids.
G
Know
we
gotta,
we
can't
forget
that
we've
got
an
election
coming
up
in
november
folks
and
if
we
we
start
doing
this
in
june
and
then
pick
somebody
else
in
in
june
to
have
july
august,
it
doesn't
make
any
sense,
you
put
it
through
the
election
cycle
and
whoever
gets
elected
as
mayor,
we
may
have
the
same
mayor.
We
may
have
a
different
mayor.
Let
that
person
then
bring
the
names
forward
to
city
council
for
approval
that
it
doesn't
get
any
easier
than
that.
Okay,
we
do.
G
We
really
want
to
switch
in
the
middle
of
the
ball
game
here
and
and
that
really
hurts
the
administration
more
than
it
hurts
anybody
else.
There's
no
consistency
there.
So
that's
the
point
that
I
want
to
try
to
make
and
you
know
november,
is
right
around
the
corner.
It's
really
not
that
far
away.
If
you
you
want
to
look
at
it,
so
you
know
keep
that
well,
and
you
know
keep
in
the
back
of
your
head,
that
it
just
doesn't
make
sense.
G
C
C
Can
you
fill
me
in
as
to
why
you
feel
gary
miyatki
would
be
the
right
person
for
the
job
at
this
point,
and
also
again,
as
you
know,
I'm
very
direct,
I
don't
mince
any
words
at
one
point.
You
were
not
in
favor
of
him,
so
that
being
the
case,
why
would
you
be
in
favor
of
now
and
I'm
not
saying
that
in
a
any
disrespectful
way?
I
just
want
to
see
where
the
thought
process
is
changing.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
councilman
consul
pro
tem
abdullah,
so
for
the
last
week,
or
so
you
know,
we've
had
you
know
several
meetings
over
here
and
there's
there's
a
lot
of
issues
and
concerns
have
been
coming
through
the
city
and
mr
miyaki
has
been
actually
even
though
he
wasn't
paid.
You
know
before
before
today,
before
he
was
approved
for
his
fees
to
be
paid,
he's
been
volunteering
his
time
and
still
committed
to
the
city
trying
to
represent
us,
and
you
know
especially
right
now
with
that
with
the
pandemic.
L
You
know
with
the
recent
passing
with
our
long-standing
mayor.
You
know
we
urgently
need
an
attorney,
especially
some.
You
know,
an
attorney
that
you
know
he
knows
about
the
current
city
matters
and
also
you
know
with
without
you
know
what
delaying
anything
I
mean
just
like
today,
there's
stuff
that
came
up
and
mr
miyaki,
you
know
he
had
knowledge
of
some
of
the
things
that
kim
it
was
like.
L
I
can't
discuss
it,
but
it
was
some
court
documents
that
needed
urgent
matters
like
like
yesterday
and
he
was
willing
to
take
on
the
paperwork
and
go
file
with
the
court.
So
he's
he's
been
since
I've
been
here,
I
mean
for
the
last
week
or
so
he's
been
very,
very
helpful.
He's
been
he
you
know
anytime.
We
call
him,
you
know.
He's
is
always
for
the
city.
You
know
always
trying
to
represent
the
city
well
as
a
resident
himself.
So
and
the
reason
why
you
know
I
put
down
january
2nd
2022.
L
As
you
know,
a
few
council
members
mentioned
is
you
know
whoever
gets
elected
in
in
november
then
that
person
you
know,
gets
to
choose.
You
know
they
can
bring
somebody
forward
or
you
know
they
can
send
it
off
for
bed
and
they
can
put
mr
miyaki
and
you
know
in
the
mix
as
well
to
see
who's
best
fit.
You
know,
especially,
you
know
if
it
was
the
best
not
just
fit,
but
also
with
you
know,
cost
wise.
So
that's
that's
why
I
put
that
down
so
far.
L
I
don't,
I
don't
think
as
of
right
now
you
know
mid-year,
so
you
would
have
less
than
so.
If
we
say
june,
then
you
only
have
few
months
to
bring
somebody
on
board
so
that
somebody
who
comes
on
board
has
a
lot
of
work
to
do
before
the
end
of
the
year.
So
whoever
gets
elected
at
the
end
of
the
year,
then
they
have
to
bring
another
council,
maybe
so
right
now
I
think
we
should.
I
mean
my
opinion.
That's
why
I
put
january
2nd.
L
So
whoever
gets
elected
you
know
can
come
back
and
say:
okay,
let's
put
it
off
for
bed.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
put
that,
so
we
don't
put
our
city
in
jeopardy
and
cause
more.
You
know
more
chaos,
and
you
know
we
want
to
try
to
you
know.
As
we
discussed
earlier.
You
know
stability.
We
need
to
move
our
city
forward
and
right
now.
C
Okay,
but
mr
mayor
and
and
I
agree
with
all
the
statements
you've
just
made
there
clearly
he's
he
does
a
good
job.
He
has
good
commitment.
As
you
know,
as
you've
just
said
mentioned,
we
didn't
have
an
contract
with
him,
yet
he
continued
to
work,
and
I
respect
him
for
that.
You
know
in
his
commitment.
That's
very
respectful,
but
I
just
want
to
again.
C
I
want
to
talk
about
the
elephant
in
the
room
and-
and
I
think
it
has
to
be
addressed
because
you
at
one
point
not
trying
to
put
you
on
the
spot
honestly,
but
at
one
point
you
were
not
in
favor
of
gary
miyaki
and
you
don't
have
to
get
into
the
details,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
have
those
been
put
to
bed
where
your
comp,
those
things
that
were
of
concern
to
you
at
one
point.
Are
they
no
longer
an
issue
for
you
at
this
point,
because
that's
something
that's
got
to
be
addressed.
L
So
I
mean
that's
some
of
the
discussions
we
had.
You
know
we
had
after
a
day
after
my
appointment.
You
know
we
had
a
meeting
with
everyone.
Well,
first,
I
met
with
mr
miyaki
first
on
the
first
day
of
my
appointment,
and
we
talked
about
a
lot
of
issues
and
a
lot
of
my
concerns.
You
know
when
I
was
on
the
console,
so
a
lot
of
these
issues
have
been
resolved
and
you
know
I.
L
I
got
the
commitment
and
you
know
you
know
right
now
that
every
everyone,
including
you
know
my
department,
had
everybody
that
would
you
know
that
I
talked
to
that
everybody's
on
board.
You
know
we
gotta,
we
gotta
run,
I'm
hoping
you
know
that
we
can
run
a
smoother
or
better
council
meetings.
You
know,
you
know
with
respect
and
everybody
respects
one
another
and
just
make
sure
that
you
know
if
any
issues,
any
concerns
that
are
brought
forward.
You
know
are
addressed
and
that's
some
of
the
stuff
that
you
know
with
mr
miyaki.
L
L
We
don't
want
any
more,
you
know,
bickering,
you
know
anymore
any
issues
or
anything
like
that.
You
know
my
my
goal
or
my
vision.
My
objective
is
to
stop
stuff
right
now.
You
know
the
day
I
was
appointed
and
if
there's
any
any
concerns
that
you
guys
have
with
anyone,
you
know
you
come
to
me
and
I
will
make
sure
I
address
it
on
the
spot
and
you
know
I
said
mr
miyaki
has
been
more
than
helpful
and
you
know
we
got
a
chance
to
really.
L
You
know
talk
about
like
the
different
things
that
we
talked
about.
You
know
all
the
issues
that
we
had
as
council.
You
know
they've
been
addressed
and
you
know
we
we
can
meet
individually.
You
know
we
can
go
through
like
the
vision,
so
we
you
know
so
we're
not
violating
the
open
meeting.
You
know
so
we
can
talk
and
I
can
share
with
each
one
and
I'm
not.
L
So
again,
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
my
biggest
issue
that
we
had
in
the
past,
especially
me
as
council
is,
I
wanted
stuff
to
run
smoothly
and
I
always
wanted
to
move
forward,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if
any
of
the
council
members
have
issues
with
anybody,
including
our
you
know,
our
city
attorney,
you
know
to
bring
it
forward
and
I
will
guarantee
you
it's
going
to
get
addressed.
You
know
that
that
that
same
day,
okay,
thank.
D
D
M
M
I
think
mayor
bazi
and
I
have
worked
very
well
together
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
be
able
to
do
so
and
help
the
city,
and
I
would
note
just
as
a
practical
matter.
It
would
strike
me
as
being
very
difficult
at
this
time
to
end
up
changing
things
in
terms
of
any
sort
of
city
attorney
or
corporation
council.
M
Certainly,
if
mayor
bazi
is
successful,
then
it
could
be
a
much
longer
period,
but
there's
no
guarantee
for
a
firm
that
might
be
interested
in
the
position
and
you
would
potentially
have
proposals
being
made
with
the
idea
of
we
have
no
certainty
or
have
people
not
making
a
proposal.
So
in
my
view,
that
would
be
something
that
would
be
problematic
for
doing
the
process,
as
suggested
by
councilman,
abdullah
and.
B
M
Well,
mr
I'm
I
I
hate
to
say
this,
but
the
difficulty
is
is
that
my
bills
have
already
been
cut
and
even
with
the
maintenance
of
services
agreement,
essentially
they've
been
very
cut
back
so
and
all
the
work
I
did.
I
tried
to
end
up
being
very
circumspect
with
regard
to
that,
so
I
I
would
not
be
inclined,
I'm
sorry
to
cut
ten
thousand
dollars
off
and
find
myself
in
a
position
where
I
would
have
a
difficulty
to
do.
M
M
A
A
D
I
A
F
A
E
You
know
madam
chair
councilman,
you
know
thinking
about
it
and
you
know
with
what
mayor
basie
had
said
to
be
logical,
putting
you
know
our
corporate
council
there
for
six
months
and
then
getting
rid
of
them
looking
for
bids
trying
to
reappoint
going
back
going
forth.
If
we're
you
know
we're
going
to
approve
of
this,
I
say
we
prove
them
over
to
november
the
new
mayor
or
if
it's
stole
mayor
bezzie,
you
continue
on
it
and
everybody
moves
forward,
but
I
mean,
if
we're
going
to
approve
them.
E
I
think
it's
silly
to
say
we're
just
going
to
do
it
for
six
months
and
then
we're
going
to
you
know,
come
back
and
look
for
somebody
else
who
knows
by
then
we
maybe
we
don't
find
anybody
and-
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
real
hard
to
try
to
find
another
corporate
council.
That's
gonna
come
in
and
say
hey,
you
know
work
for
us
for
five
months.
E
You
don't
know
much,
but
you
might
not
be
here
if
there's
a
new
mayor
or
a
new
council,
so
I
think
being
that
there's
gonna
be
five
seats
up,
you
know
come
november
and
you
know
the
mayor's
seat.
You
give.
You
know
our
miyaki
to
be
able
to
just
finish
us
off
to
november
or
till
january,
and
we
vote
on
it
again
then,
and
have
the
new
council.
A
G
E
A
A
C
I
make
a
motion
that
the
dearborn
heights
city
council
approved
the
proposed
maintenance
of
services
agreement
between
mr
gary
miyaki
and
the
city
of
davon
heights.
In
addition
authorized
the
mayor
and
the
city
clerk
to
sign
an
agreement
on
behalf
of
the
city.
The
city
shall
pay
mr
miyaki,
the
total
of
75
000.
Less
current
claims
612
in
the
amount
of
61
725
for
invoices
previously
submitted
to
the
city,
is
outlined
in
item
8b.
A

C
Okay,
so
I
make
a
motion
that
the
demon
heights
city
council
approved
the
proposed
maintenance
of
services
agreement
between
mr
gary
miyatki
and
the
city
of

In

The

the
total
sum
of
sixty
seven
thousand
five
hundred

for
invoices

as
outlined
in

A
C
Chair
councilman
black
just
mentioned
it,
but
I
just
want
to
say
I've
personally
been
inside
that
room
and
for
the
ladies
that
work
in
there
seriously.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
they
did
that
stopped
me
in
better
condition.
It
is
too
outdated
and
we
cannot
try
to
save
450
or
500
bucks
and
not
have
them
start
comfortably.
This
has
to
be
done,
so
I'm
in
full
support
of
it.
Thank
you.
E
Man,
I
I
just
also
want
to
just
put
it
for
the
record
I
reached
out
to
treasurer
hicks
clay,
and
then
you
know
I
asked
her
about
the
you
know
three
different
chairs
and
she
explained
to
me
funny.
She
said
mo
I'm
going
with
the
cheaper
chair
and
I'm
going
to
give
the
more
expensive
chair
to
the
employees
that
are
working
there.
E
So
I
wanted
to
thank
her
for
that
and
just
kind
of
shed
a
little
bit
of
light
on
who
lisa
is
on
that
and
that's
awesome
and
I
you
know
I
used
to
work
long
hours
in
some
chairs
and
you
really
need
comfortable
chairs.
So
I
think
lisa
on
that
and
I'm
glad
that
the
city
doesn't
have
the
seats
from
the
60s
anymore
and
we
got
some
new
20
21
shares.
F
C
C
So
I'd
like
to
ask
our
treasurer
question-
and
I
I
spoke-
I
called
her
and
spoke
with
her
on
this,
but
I
I
feel
that
everybody
should
have
at
least
a
general
idea.
As
far
as
what
I
called
iran,
he
said,
you
know:
we've
got
these
investment
reports
that
come
up.
We
have
different
investments
that
we
have
as
a
city,
but
I'd
like
to
know
what
is
the
strategy
of
us
as
a
city?
What
is
the
strategy
for
yourself
as
a
treasurer?
What
are
you
looking
to
get?
What
type
of
investments
are
you
looking
for?
C
Are
you
looking
to
take
on
a
lot
of
risk,
very
little
risk,
etc,
etc?
So,
give
me
a
little
bit
of
your
vision
and
she
took
the
time
to
have.
She
mentioned
me
that
she
had
already
been
working
on
something
then
she
just
finalized
it
and
sent
it
to
me.
You
know
some
pretty
good
stuff
and
I
think
we
owe
her
at
least
an
opportunity
at
least
a
couple
of
minutes.
C
P
P
P
P
P
Also,
you
need
to
diversify,
so
you
don't
put
all
your
eggs
in
one
basket.
So
when
you're
going
to
start
getting
reports
from
me,
you're
going
to
get
an
annual
report,
that's
going
to
show
you
the
portfolio
and
what
it
actually
looks
like
what
percentage
went
where
into
cds
or
with
morgan
stanley
investments.
By
the
way
we
work
with
morgan
stanley,
as
our
investor,
I
compare
those
rates
on
a
daily
basis
to
find
out
what
the
best
need
is,
but
how?
P
How
do
you
determine
how
long
you're
going
to
invest
something
for
and
that's
when,
where
liquidity
is
really
important?
We
have
to
be
able
to
get
to
that
money
when
we
need
it.
So
I
do
look
at
the
cash
flow
reports
which
I
do
monthly.
I
have
monthly
cash
flow
reports.
I
look
at
the
debt
schedule
that
we
have
for
debt
payments.
You
know
do
when
do
we
have
a
bond
payment
coming
up?
When
do
we
have
something
for
a
fire
station
or
this
you
know
the
fire
truck.
P
You
have
to
look
at
all
of
that
to
see
when
exactly
are
you
going
to
need
your
money
and
look
at
your
budgetary
and
economic
cycles
so
again,
as
we
get
closer
towards
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
towards
the
month
of
june,
and
I
have
taken
account
payroll
things
of
that
nature:
payroll,
seven
hundred
thousand
eight
hundred
thousand
every
pay
period.
So
I
take
a
look
at
that
too.
So
I
actually
created
a
calendar.
P
I
have
that
actually
has
everything
outlined
when
those
payments
are
going
out
and
when
we
anticipate
it
it's
part
of
our
cash
flow
report.
So
I
try
to
be
very
mindful
of
that.
Make
sure
we
have
money
when
we
need
it
make
sure
it's
a
safe
investment.
It
meets
public
act,
20
of
1943
as
amended
guidelines
and
standards,
and
then,
of
course,
when
you
go
into
the
back
part
of
the
document
I
provided
you,
it
includes
ethics
and
conflict
of
interest,
as
well
as
what
authorized
investments
are.
P
G
P
It's
pretty
much
a
steady
course.
I
mean
we
like
working
with
morgan
stanley,
it's
really
important
to
know.
As
I
mentioned,
when
I
have
something
come
mature,
I
shop
it.
I
have
morgan
stanley
shop
it
I
look
at
flagstar,
I
look
at
comerica.
I
look
at
msu
credit
union.
I
look
at
all
of
those
and
say
what
is
the
best
rate,
but
not
only
that,
but
I
have
to
look
at
the
duration
of
the
next
mature
date
and
again
that's
that
liquidity
right
is
the
money
going
to
be.
P
Can
I
stretch
it
for
90
days
because
I'm
not
going
to
cut
it
close
right
if
we
need
money
for
in
the
water
fund
or
the
library,
I'm
not
going
to
extend
it
past
the
date
that
we're
going
to
need
that
money
and
department
heads
will
tell
you
by
the
way
I
don't
know
if
they'll,
though
they
won't,
they
probably
won't
chime
in
they'll
tell
you.
I
call
them
and
I
talk
to
them
about
every
investment
point.
D
Unfortunately,
the
interest
rate
at
this
time
does
not
exceed
0.25
of
one
percent,
which
is
really
nothing,
but
that
is
you
know
the
main
job
of
the
treasurer,
and
I
thank
jean
reilly
who
set
the
ground
for
everything
going
on
right
now
and
lisa
is
following
in
in
in
steps.
So
I
think
the
people
in
the
city
should
feel
safe,
that
the
money
is
safe
and
everything
is
in
good
hands.
E
A
G
I
move
that
the
dearborn
heights
city
council
approved
the
updated
requirements
for
the
city
of
dearborn
heights,
2021
poverty,
exemption
policy
and
guidelines,
the
exemption
application,
the
waiver
of
confidentiality
and
also
an
authorization
form
to
conduct
property
inspections
to
meet
the
new
legislative
changes
in
the
state
of
michigan.
The
assessing
department
will
make
these
forms
accessible
for
taxpayers.
As
of
march
1st
2021,
as
outlined
in
9c
support.
C
I
was
at
one
point
on
the
tax
review
board
previous
to
being
on
the
city
council,
and
I'm
just,
I
think,
for
the
residents
at
least
purposes
if
she
could
give
us,
maybe
just
a
couple
two
three
minute
summary
and
for
those
of
us
on
this
call
as
far
as
what
potential
changes
are
coming
up
with
this,
because
we
approve
it
on
a
year
by
year
basis.
But
there
are
some
changes
that
do
come
up
and
I
just
want
to
first
of
all
commend
her
and
her
department
for
continuing
to
do
a
great
job.
C
C
Q
Oh,
it's!
Okay!
Thank
you
yeah!
So
there
are
some
changes.
This
year
there
was
a
new
legislation
passed
by
the
state
and
basically
we
have
to
switch
how
we
formulate
what
people
qualify
for
for
their
exemption.
We
are
allowed
to
reduce
by
percentages
and
those
percentages
have
been
outlined
in
the
new
law.
Q
So
what
we
have
done
is
we
have
taken
any
the
guidelines
would
qualify
where,
if
homeowners,
all
the
homeowners
collective
income
is
less
than
the
federal
poverty
guidelines,
they
would
have
a
hundred
percent
reduction
of
taxes
for
the
2021
year
and
then,
if
they
fell
between
our
typical
guidelines
in
the
federal
poverty
guidelines,
which
is
about
15
percent
more,
they
would
qualify
for
a
50
reduction
in
taxation
for
the
2021
year.
So
that's
one
of
the
major
changes
the
city
used
to
do
100
reduction,
but
that
was
changed.
Q
I
would
say
about
five,
four
or
five
years
ago,
so
now
that
the
state
has
made
this
decision,
we
are
switching
over
to
follow
that
new
guideline
in
the
new
law.
There
is
another
new
aspect
coming
up
where
we
would
be
able
to
extend
the
poverty
for
continuous
years,
but
I
believe
that
we
would
need
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
further,
because
we
would
need
to
create
an
audit
procedure
and
put
that
in
place
prior
to
being
able
to
do
that
extension.
Q
So
that's
something
we
could
work
on
this
year
is
creating
that
audit
procedure
if
necessary,
but
that
isn't
currently
part
of
the
new
guideline.
So
the
new
guideline
just
encompasses
that
percentage,
how
they
would
be
reduced
and
there
is
a
part
of
the
form
that
is
now
directly
from
the
state.
So
it's
our
guidelines,
the
state
form
our
questions
and
then
a
checklist
to
provide
that,
and
so
that
would
be
available
online
in
our
office
or,
if
you'd
like
to
call
the
department.
C
So
we
as
a
city
would
rather
have
ourselves
work
with
you
on
lowering
your
taxes,
instead
of
god
forbid
having
you
lose
your
property
because
you
couldn't
afford
to
pay
your
taxes
on
another
fast
note.
I
just
want
to
know
that
note
that
for
all
the
years
that
I've
been
on
the
council
six
seven
years
or
whatever
it's
been,
we
had
a
lot
of
rough
spots,
let's
just
say
at
the
very
minimal
with
the
assessor's
office
and
we
had
to
change
with
multiple
assessors.
C
I
think
it
was
two
or
three
you
know
within
a
year
year
and
a
half
period,
and
I
just
want
to
again
commend
tony
fulco
and
kimberly
calmer
for
taking
on
this.
We
heard
them
as
a
contract,
so
we
contract
them
out
and
they
take
care
of
the
assessor's
office
from
a
to
z,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
guys
have
done
a
great
job.
I
tell
you
as
a
realtor,
I
get
nothing,
but
compliments
about
you
guys
so
great
job
and
keep
up
the
great
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
With
this
from
the
state
and
their
property
tax
returns
and
any
source
of
income,
proof
of
income
is
important
as
well
as
things
like
their
bank
accounts.
They
would
need
to
provide
three
months
of
that
a
copy
of
their
driver's
license
and
there's
actually
a
checklist
right
at
the
back
of
the
application
that
has
just
every
single
thing
that
you'll
need
right
on
there.
So
it's
all
perfectly
laid
out
right
at
the
back
for
people,
so
they
would
have
access
to
that.
A
A
F
L
G
I
move
the
dearborn
knight
city
council
approved
the
purchase
of
rogue
fitness
equipment
for
both
fire
stations,
the
amount
of
twelve
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
three
dollars
to
be
paid
from
capital
outlay
upon
receipt.
This
is
the
last
of
the
equipment
to
complete
the
firefighters,
wellness,
functional
strength
and
injury
prevention
programs,
as
outlined
in
nine
f
support.
G
J
C
Probably
not
the
right
time,
I'm
going
to
do
it
anyways
what
the
heck
I
just
want
to
commend
dana
in
our
clerk's
office.
I
mean
she
put
the
stuff
together
here
for
us
to
make
a
motion,
and
I
tell
you
this
is
the
best
cheat
sheets,
not
that
I
cheated
before,
but
this
is
the
best
cheat
sheet
I've
seen
in
my
life,
so
I
just
want
to
give
kudos
to
her
in
in
the
clerk's
office,
good
job,
beautiful
stuff.
So
thank
you.
C
G
C
D
J
N
D
A
A
D
A
Q
D
I
said
I
understand
I
should
I
would
appreciate
it,
I'm
not
against
this.
Even
I
have
lots
of
concerns
about
it
and
I
know
I'm
going
to
get
flag
about
it,
but
you've
done
the
work
you
should
get
paid
for
it,
but
I
would
appreciate
it
if
you
remove
those
hours,
that's
fair
enough,
because
you
got
paid
as
a
chairperson.
A
A
C
This
was
a
concern
for
some
people,
whether
the
council,
chair
at
the
time
should
be
paid
for
that
first
30
days,
because
our
charter
states
that,
after
the
30
days,
they
start
to
get
paid
based
on
appropriated
amount
at
the
same
time,
a
lot
of
things
in
the
charter
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
not
in
the
charter
that
we
follow
as
a
city.
We
have
the
right
to
do
that.
C
Basically,
and
the
fact
you
know-
and
I
thought
about
this-
a
lot
and
spoke
with
different
people
and
hurt
their
concerns,
but
in
my
opinion,
based
on
the
fact
that
you
did
work
during
those
first
30
days,
despite
the
fact
that
it's
not
a
part
of
the
charter,
it
does
give
us
the
legal
okay
to
be
able
to
compensate
somebody
and
not
feel
that
you
should
be
compensated
based
on
the
fact
that
you
did
put
in
the
time.
I
was
surprised
how
much
they
get
paid
per
hour,
but
hey.
C
Idea,
no,
no,
I
I
understand
so
in
my
opinion,
I
think
we
should
you
know.
I
agree
with
councilman
abdullah.
I
think
there
should
be
an
adjustment
for
the
parts
where
you
were
in
as
at
the
council
meetings,
because
even
though
you're
not
compensated
for
that
hourly,
you
are
paid
for
that
time
to
be
there
as
a
salary.
So,
therefore
you
shouldn't
also
be
paid
hourly,
and
I
know
you
didn't
mean
it
in
a
blinding
way.
I
know
that.
C
G
I
think
all
the
council
people
here
will
agree
to
that,
because
it's
not
easy
and-
and
if
you
know
you
just,
I
think
we
should
just
come
to
a
conclusion.
You
take
some
hours
off
and
become
five
thousand
dollars,
even
that
that
should
cover
taking
those
hours
off,
and
we
can
settle
this
right
here
right
now.
F
As
indicated
for
the
subtract,
the
hours
with
the
city
council,
though,
as
long
as
everyone
is
aware
of
the
fact
that
the
council
people
are
paid
an
annual
salary
myself,
it's
a
you
know
10
000
a
year,
and
that
includes
whether
you
go
to
every
council
meeting
or
you
miss
every
council
meeting.
It's
it's
just
the
annual
salary.
It's
it's
divided
out,
but
but
if
you
want
to
take
those
hours
out,
I'm
fine
with
that
amendment.
D
I
did
read
the
charter
and
I
did-
and
I
do
agree
with
dave
abdullah-
that
we
we
need
to
bring
this
out
to
the
open,
but
there
is
a
precedence
that
the
public
should
know
that
when
mayor
canfield
left
office,
liz
asias
did
receive
salary
of
a
mayor
proton
and
that's
the
reason
I
am
voting
yes
for
this.
Yes,.
A
A
Last
year
I
had
a
study
session
about
the
charter
review
committee
back
in
february,
because
I
know
we
need
to
redo
this
and,
like
I
said
this
payment
does
not
affect
our
budget,
because
the
mayor,
when
he
passed
away
he
was
no
longer
receiving
a
paycheck
from
december
30th
to
january
26th,
so
the
money's
there
in
the
budget,
actually
the
mayor,
would
have
got
paid
more.
The
mayor
on
a
whole
on
a
bi-weekly
mate
basis
makes
3456.88.
A
E
E
Thank
you
and
I
I
concur
with
councilman,
get
with
that
as
well.
I
think
5000
is
even
you
did
the
work.
You
know
we're
following
the
president
here.
As
you
know,
councilman
abdul
haq
said
thank
you
for
all
that
you
did
in
those
times
and
you
know
moving
our
city
forward
and
I
think
we
just
need
to
put
you
know,
vote
on
this,
and
and
can
we
just.
I
A
B
A
A
F
Made
him
chair,
elseman
constand.
I
move
that
the
dearborn
heights
city
council
approved
the
resolution
authorizing
the
2021
capital
improvement
bonds,
limited
tax
general
obligation
bonds.
The
resolution
authorizes
the
issuance
of
the
bonds
in
an
amount
to
not
exceed
25
million
700
000
to
acquire
construct,
furnish
and
equip
various
capital
improvements,
including
sewer
system
improvements
and
combined
sewer
overflow
facilities
and
improvements.
F
G
G
We
should
be
looking
into
getting
some
of
this
money
to
pay
for
some
of
this,
and
I
I
you
know
unfortunately,
and
it's
my
fault-
that
I
don't
know
how
to
do
it,
but
we
gotta
find
someone
that
knows
how
to
do
these
things.
Okay
and
unfortunately,
the
resolution
that
myself,
councilman,
wenzel
and
councilman
zohair
put
in
was
going
to
address
that
issue.
G
But
we
can
you
know,
that's
you
see
you
promised
it'll
go
on
in
two
weeks,
but
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear.
I
think
there's
money
available
from
the
state
and
from
the
federal
government
to
help
us
with
this.
I
definitely
don't
want
to
stop
this
because
we've
kicked
the
can
down
the
road
for
10
years
on
this
okay
and
we
got
to
get
it
done.
But
that's
just
my
statement
on
this.
That's
all.
F
D
D
We
have
spent
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
just
for
basically
audit
forensic
audit,
a
forensic
addict
included
the
cso
money,
and
until
now
we
haven't
done
anything
except
wasted
over
150
000.
If
I
am
close
to
that
number
and
year
and
a
half
and
we've
done
nothing
and
the
public
don't
even
know
why
we
spent
the
money
in
what
is
the
financial
situation
of
our
city?
D
D
We
need
to
know
where
is
the
city
standing
financially
and
I
asked
not
to
approve
this
until
you
know
the
mayor
should
open
the
door
for
the
forensic
auditors
to
start
on
it.
Since
he
was
the
champion,
and
you
were
the
champion
of
forensic
audit,
I
think
we
owe
it
to
the
public.
We
owe
it
to
ourselves
to
know
before
we
put
25
million
on
the
on
the
head
of
the
taxpayers
to
know
where
we
stand
in
financially
and
how
much
money
really
we
have
in
the
cso.
D
Is
it
4
million
or
6.8
as
a
plant
moran
said,
and
I
did
submit
papers
to
show
year
by
year,
and
the
final
number
was
6.8
million,
not
3.8.
There
is
a
three
million
dollars
which
is
spent,
and
I
don't
know
as
a
taxpayer
or
as
councilman
where
that
money
is
so.
I
ask
you
not
to
vote
on
it
until
we
have
an
answer
from
the
auditors.
A
R
Sure,
if
I,
if
I
may
so
and
all
due
respect
to
the
new
councilman,
we
have
pat
mcgowan
on
the
line
from
miller
canfield
and
martin
from
plant
moran,
the
the
monies
for.
As
far
as
the
cso
is
concerned,
the
excess
funds
go
towards
the
first
payment,
the
first
bond
payment
of
this
bond
sale.
This
bond
sale
is
only
related
to
the
water
and
sewer
fund.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
general
fund
peg
funds
or
any
of
those
other
funds.
R
So
if
you'd
like
some
more
detail
into
that
they're
on
the
call,
I'm
sure
they
could
enlighten
you
some
more
on
that,
but
that
was
one
of
the
reasons.
The
first
payment
in
this
bond
is
the
four
million
dollar
payment
of
the
excess
funds
collected.
I
guess
is
the
term
from
water
and
sewer
bills.
So
just
so,
we
have
a
point
of
clarification
on
that,
but
I
would
gladly
turn
it
over
to
martin
he's
on
and
pat
mcgowan.
They
they're
they're
more
the
experts
on
this
so.
L
So
I
was
actually
going
to
thank
you.
Council
chair.
I
was
going
to
mention
exactly
what
mr
xiaomi
mentioned.
Also
what
mr
I'm
sorry
councilman
of
the
hub
mentioned
about
the
forensic
audit
yeah.
I
was
always
for
it
and
in
fact
we
we
are
still
going
to
proceed
forward,
but
now
the
council
has
to
make
the
determination,
but
I'm
still
for
it
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I've
done
is
talked
to
mr
miyaki
regarding
that,
so
we
can
move
forward
with
that.
L
D
C
That's
what
most
residents
really
care
about.
I
mean,
of
course,
he
wants
to
do
what
we
do
and
that's
fine
we're
talking
about
all
these
technical
things.
It's
great
and
beautiful,
but
you
have
a
resident,
wants
to
know.
How
much
is
he
or
she
going
to
pay
extra
per
year
roughly,
and
when
would
that
start?
If
any
so
can
somebody
answer
that
for
the
residents
please.
N
You
know,
while
he's
doing
that,
if
I
may
answer
the
first
question
then
be
a
lead
into
this
one,
which
is
when
we've
been
talking
about
this
project.
There
are
these
two
sources
of
funding
that
are
going
to
pay
that
back.
As
has
been
discussed
here,
there
was
a
cso
millage
at
the
city
city
levied
for
a
number
of
years,
which
was
approved
by
the
voters
specifically
to
pay
debt
service
on
bonds
for
cso
projects.
N
That's
the
money
that
we
were
talking
about
that
as
of
the
end
of
the
last
fiscal
year,
there
was
about
3.8
million
dollars
remaining
in
that
account.
It
has
been
several
years
since
the
city
levied
that
millage,
but
that
money
can
only
be
used
to
pay
debt
service
on
bonds
for
cso
projects.
It
can't
pay
for
it
directly.
So
when
this
bond
issue
was
structured,
it
was
set
up
so
that
the
first
payment
will
essentially
come
from
that
cso
money.
N
And
then
the
remaining
payments
are
expected
to
be
paid
from
the
rates
and
charges
that
they
go
on
the
water
and
sewer
bills.
To
answer
the
prior
question:
if
it
turns
out
that
there
is
more
money
from
that
millage
that
a
forensic
audit
or
the
city
later
determines
that
could
still
be
used
and
can
only
be
used
to
pay
debt
service
on
the
bonds,
so
it
would
still
go
towards
paying
down
cso
debt.
So
essentially
that's
what's
going
to
pay
back
the
debt
service,
the
money
that's
been
levied
already.
N
S
S
So,
looking
at
the
model
that
the
city
has
provided
the
water
sewer
budget,
that
was
done
approximately
four
or
five
months
ago,
if
the
numbers
change
by
not
having
the
debt
payments
in
there,
so
the
proceeds
from
the
bonds-
and
you
know
you
don't-
have
to
worry
about
the
bond
payments,
your
overall
in
your
bills.
The
minimum
bill
would
actually,
instead
of
so
before
it
was
projected
to
be
54.60
roughly
for
the
upcoming
year.
It
would
drop
by
about
literally
about
a
dollar
per
bill
and
then
for
the
average
bill.
S
S
C
Every
two
months
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
it
this
way
because
that's
what
the
average
homeowner
wants
to
know
I
mean
this.
You
know
I
mean
if
I
was
a
average
homeowner
and
I
see
twenty
five
point:
six
million
we'd
look.
You
know
I
already
can't
afford
my
taxes,
my
monthly
payments
and
then
here
you
are
adding
26
million
million
dollar
debt.
So
that's
why
I
want
to
clarify
in
in
terms
of
the
average
resident,
how
much
are
they
paying
additional
taxes?
Thank
you
that
clarifies
it
perfectly.
S
No
problem
the
important
thing
to
note
so
the
bond
payments,
as
they're
projected,
I
believe,
they're
about
1.4
million
dollars
a
year.
So
if
you
divide
that
up
by
all
the
you
know,
users
of
the
system
and
so
on,
that's
why
it
becomes
such
a
small
dollar
amount.
I
guess
on
a
every
two
month
cycle
right,
perfect!
Thank
you.
G
A
couple
of
my
questions
were
already
answered
by
martin
through
councilman
abdellah.
I
guess
we
are
on
the
same
wavelength
there,
but
you
know
I
I
believe
that
putting
it
on
a
bond
and
putting
it
on
our
taxes.
We
get
to
write
some
of
that
off
at
the
end
of
the
year,
instead
of
it
going
on
our
water
bill
and
making
the
water
rates
go
much
higher.
So
I
think
that's
a
big
plus
if
I'm
correct
on
that
martin
can
you
address
that?
S
I
would
say
historically,
the
answer
would
have
been
yes
with
the
tax
cuts
act
in
2017.
I
believe
that
was
passed
most
of
the
standard
deductions
increased
substantially
for
individuals
and,
for
you
know,
individual
filers.
So
instead
of
having
a
smaller
dollar
amount,
the
standard
deduction
went
up
to
24
000,
with
some
change
with
inflationary
increases
and
therefore
most
people
actually
cannot
deduct
much
of
their
property
taxes
to
be
honest
because
they
just
use
the
standard
deduction.
They
don't
itemize
anymore.
S
Okay,
so
that's
one
thing
too:
your
taxes
are
limited
to
ten
thousand
dollars
in
that,
if
you
itemize
and
what
ends
up
happening,
if
your
state
income
taxes
that
you
pay
on
your
wages,
plus
property
taxes
and
everything
all
that
up
into
one
bucket
and
if
it's
over
ten
thousand
you're
just
limited
to
ten
thousand,
no
matter
what
so
there's
a
lot
of
limitations
that
you
didn't
have
before
so
very
seldom.
Does
somebody
actually
get
the
benefit
from
the
tax
deduction?
Okay,
thank
you.
A
A
H
S
H
F
F
R
As
far
as
the
water
meter
goes,
I
wouldn't
know,
if
would
be
a
savings,
but
we
would
be
more
accurate
and
we
would
try
to
be
reducing
our
water
loss,
which
you
know
ultimately
has
a
effect
on
the
budget.
You
know
when
you
start
talking:
10
15
18
water
loss.
This
is
just
another
component
of
tightening
up
the
system
is
the
metering
system,
the
water
mains
and
those
things
there
so.
F
R
R
So
this
as
fire
is
the
flooding
of
the
e-course
creek
this.
This
does
not
do
anything
with
that.
What
this
does
is
we're
separating
sanitary
sewer
and
storm
water,
so
that
when
we
have
an
event,
we
have
what
we
call
a
combined
system
when
the
sanitary
sewer
can't
handle
that
flow
it
ultimately
dumps
out
or
into
the
river,
mainly
the
the
rouge
river
and
basically
north
of
michigan
avenue,
so
short
answer
no
on
the
e-course
creek,
but
yes,
on
sanitary
overflows
into
the
river.
N
J
G
H
H
A
F
C
So,
just
just
listening
to
this
to
the
names
of
the
businesses
right
here.
It
just
reminded
me
that
we
should
remind
our
residents
too
as
much
as
possible,
and
I
go
out
of
my
way
to
do
this
anytime,
I
gotta
eat
or
anytime.
I
can
do
any
type
of
service
to
go
out
of
our
way
to
give
our
small
businesses
in
daven
heights
business.
I
mean
I'm
looking
at
the
names
here.
You
know
the
boneyard
I've
been
going
there,
for,
I
don't
know
40
50,
whatever
it
is
years.
C
Cordy's
collision
is
a
great
collision
shop
and
van
bourne
tavern,
I'm
sure
is
also
a
great
place
on
vanborn.
Let's
all
the
residents
go
out
of
our
way
as
much
as
we
can
to
give
the
businesses
to
these
local
businesses
and
for
those
who
don't
feel
comfortable,
for
example,
at
restaurants.
You
know
sometimes
in
my
business
century
21,
you
know
we
pick
up
from
one
of
these
restaurants,
carry
out
order
and
bring
it
and
and
eat
not
inside.
C
A
H
Yeah,
thank
you,
council,
chair.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
as
being
black
history
month
and
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
experiencing
the
blast
history
month.
The
exhibition
at
the
henry
ford
museum
very
interesting,
all
the
accomplishments
that
black
americans
have
made
throughout
the
years.
I
encourage
everyone
to
go,
see
this
exhibition
and
also,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
the
the
some
of
the
employees
in
dearborn
heights
have
recently
left.
H
He
wasn't
really
happy
with
things
that
were
going
on
and
his
his
his
time
came
up
where
he
was
eligible
for
retirement,
but
he
is
he's
willing
to
stay
on
and
in
his
position
of
director
and
also
do
the
job
of
electrical
inspector,
both
jobs,
which
we
would
not
have
to
hire
an
additional
electrical
inspector,
and
he
has.
He
assured
us
that
that
he
can
actually
definitely
fulfill
both
positions.
A
H
A
B
H
I
want
to
make
a
motion
to
not
only
restore
rick
watlin's
pay,
which
he
was
getting
of
61
000.
He
took
us
a
pay
cut
to
55
000,
restoring
to
his
61
000
and
also
an
additional
4
000
raise
which
would
get
him
up
to
65
000
this
this.
This
would
save
the
city
50
50
000
at
least
a
year.
So
it's
like
a
no-brainer
and.
H
E
H
M
A
L
Yeah,
I
know
in
the
past
I'll
probably
need
director
elizabeth
to
actually
answer
that
question
that
mr
miyaki
presented,
but
I
know
in
the
past
previous
directors
have
done
inspections.
They
weren't
just
directors.
They
were
also
doing
inspections,
various
inspections,
but
not
just
electrical
or
plumbing.
You
know
pretty
much
any
inspection
that
came
forward
and
they
needed
help.
I
know
that
in
the
past
years,
directors
stepped
up
and
they
they
helped
the
inspectors.
L
O
E
And
I
just
want
to
kind
of
just.
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear:
it's
a
no-brainer
that,
if
he's
going
to
do
both
jobs
and
only
take
a
five
five
thousand,
six
thousand
dollar
pay
increase.
I
I
don't
think
it's
a
no-brainer.
I
think
we
go
through
with
that,
but
you
know
my
only
thing
is
two
years
down
the
line
you
know:
do
we
give
them
this
raise?
Then
we
hire
an
inspector.
You
know
what
happens
there.
E
So,
as
you
know,
as
councilman
once
saw
said,
it's
a
no-brainer
but
saving
us
50
000
over
over.
You
know
if
it's
saving
us
50
000
a
year,
yeah,
that's
great,
but
if
two
years
down
the
line,
we're
gonna
hire
an
inspector
we
haven't
raised
it
which
I'm
okay
with
giving
a
raise.
We
just
have
to
understand.
O
If
I
could
just
interject,
we
also
need
to
make
sure
that
this
carpenter's
union
is
okay
with
us,
taking
they
would
take
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
members,
so
they
would
go
from
three
members
to
two
members.
Of
course,
they've
been
as
little
as
one
member
in
the
past.
It's
been
mr
watlin
for
a
long
time,
so
we
just
that
is
something
that
we
would
have
to
negotiate
with
them.
A
G
Yeah,
you
know
I'm
all
in
favor
and
that's
why
I
seconded
the
motion,
but
if
we
can
get
some
sort
of
guarantee
from
mr
bazi,
our
mayor,
bazzie,
mistoba,
perry
and
corporation
council
that
we
can
get
back
within
two
weeks,
so
we
know
what
we
can
do
and
we
can
get
it
done
and
over
with,
if
that's
possible,
is
that
possible
between
the
three
people?
Can
we
get
an
answer
from
them?.
O
C
C
We
are
gonna,
bring
it
to
the
council,
then
let's
put
it
on
the
agenda
and
put
the
who's.
The
where's
and
the
y's
make
sure
all
these
have
been
crossed.
Our
eyes
have
been
dotted.
The
attorneys
looked
it
over
our
attorneys.
Looked
it
over
the
mayor's
on
board
our
hr
directors
on
board
and
then
bringing
between
last
second
like
this,
with
due
respect
to
rick
and
to
councilman
tom
once
so.
I
don't
think
it's
the
right
time
for
us
to
make
this
type
of
decision
at
the
next
meeting
with
altis
cross
eyes
dotted.
C
E
E
I
mean:
did
he
remove
his
emotion?
Yes,
he
did
awesome
perfect.
Well,
I
just
want
to
shed
a
little
bit
of
light
about
councilman
abdullah.
You
know.
Obviously
you
guys
know
I'm
in
mexico,
I'm
really
enjoying
myself.
I
know
ray
musca.
Councilman
musk
gets
a
little
annoyed
by
that.
Okay,
that's
okay,
we'll
get
you
got
a
little
bit
of
like
councilman
abdullah
sat
with
me
on
the
phone
for
two
hours
and
17
minutes.
E
I
I
cannot
thank
you
more
enough
showing
his
true
leadership.
I
I
mean
I
I
swear.
He
is
just
one
of
a
kind
he's
so
good
to
our
city
and
and
I'm
so
happy
to
say
that
I'm
sitting
on
this
council
with
you,
I
mean
two
hours
and
17
minutes
and
not
one
time
that
he
tried
for
one
second
to
tell
me
which
way
to
vote
or
how
to
vote.
It
was
simply.
This
is
what
you
need
to
understand
from
looking
at
the
agenda
items.
E
Looking
at
when
the
actual
meeting
starts,
you
should
give
yourself
two
hours
before
every
meeting.
Believe
it
or
not.
I
was
in
mexico.
My
wife
was
so
mad.
Tell
me
come
on.
Let's
go
to
the
pool,
and
I
said
councilman
abdullah
told
me:
I
gotta
sit
two
hours
and
just
review
one
more
time,
mind
you.
I
went
through
it
four
different
times
because
he
told
me
to
go
through
it
four
different
times.
It
definitely
works,
and
I
thank
him
very,
very
much
for
that
also
councilman
musket
reached
out
to
me.
E
E
E
The
second
thing
I
just
want
to
also
recognize
latonya
who's,
also
with
the
commission
she's
on
the
cultural,
diverse.
You
know
on
the
commission
that
I
serve
on
as
well.
She
does
a
great
job,
it's
black
history
month.
She,
you
know
they're
really
going
above
and
beyond
with
this
commission,
I
hope
that
we
can
always
get
the
support
from
the
administration
and
the
council,
and
I
want
to
thank
her
for
all
that
she's
doing
and
the
entire
commission.
E
So
as
her
chair,
I
want
to
congratulate
and
thank
her
for
that
as
well,
and
then
elizabeth,
who
has
also
helped
me,
get
my
badge.
I
don't
like
the
photo
that
I
took
elizabeth
to
be
honest
with
you,
but
it's
okay.
You
know,
I
won't
go
any
further
with
that,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
elizabeth
and
for
everything
that
the
hr
department
has
done
with
me.
It
was
such
an
easy
process
of
getting
my
badge
and
and
also
lynn
in
the
clerk's
office.
E
I
love
all
of
them
and
at
the
clerk's
office
as
well.
Thank
you
guys
for
making
everything
so
easy
and
elizabeth
councilman
abdulheck.
I'm
also
going
to
thank
you
for
getting
reaching
out
to
me
and
congratulating
me,
which
I
should
have
reached
out
to
you.
First,
as
you
are
older
than
me,
but
I
also
want
to
recognize
you
on
that
as
well.
Thank
you
guys,
all
so
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
But
I
would
like
to
ask
the
chair
to
schedule
a
study
session,
so
we
all
can
learn
about
the
health
care
act
at
3,
4,
45
health
care
and
what's
the
meaning
of
self-insure
in
the
city
and
how
the
money
is
spent
and
how
it
is
calculated
for
the
health
care
every
year.
There
are
lots
of
question
about
how
things
function
for
the
health
care
and
I
think
it
will
be
very
beneficial
for
all
of
us
on
the
city
council
and
for
the
residents
to
know
how
this
program
functions.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I'm
glad
to
see
we're
moving
forward.
We
got
a
lot
of
work
done,
keeping
the
city
moving
forward,
I'd
like
to
wish
a
happy
75th
birthday
to
district
7,
dad's
club,
long
time,
chairman
gary
who's,
75
today,
and
also
happy
birthday
to
our
only
living
remaining
charter.
Commission
member,
my
father
clarence
constantis,
who
is
95
today.
F
L
Thank
you,
council,
chair
first,
I
would
like
to
first
welcome
our
two
new
council
members,
mr
abdulha
and
mr
badoon.
This
is
the
first
council
meeting
once
again.
Congratulations
to
both
of
you.
I
also
like
to
acknowledge
you
know:
councilman
abdullah,
you
know
he's
serving
as
the
new
council
chair
pro
time.
Congratulations,
council,
chair
pro
tem,
abdullah
and
that
as
well,
I'm
also
looking
forward
to
working
with
our
long-standing
council
members
and
also
on
newly
appointed
members
of
that
council
to
move
our
city
forward.
L
I
have
a
few
things
I
wanted
to
discuss
today,
so
we
had
a
meeting
earlier
today
on
the
van
board
corridor.
Right
now
it
looks
like
it
looks
pretty
good.
It
looks
like
we're
gonna
be
moving
forward.
We
have
we're
gonna,
be
creating
a
steering
committee
for
for
different
different
areas
and
that's
more
information
to
come
later
so
supposed
to
be
getting
an
email
here
shortly,
who's
going
to
be
on
on
the
steering
committee
and
which,
which
committee
so
I
will.
L
I
will
share
that
with
the
council
members
at
another
time
also.
I
know
well
with
this
pandemic.
We
you
know
once
once
it's
over.
I
know
we're
gonna
be
moving
back
to
the
council,
room
or
council
chambers,
and
I
don't
think
from
today
on
we're
gonna
be
I
I
think
that
the
norm
is
is
gone.
I
think
we
we
still
have
to
do
the
social
distance
even
after
this
pandemic.
L
So
what
I
was
proposing
and
I'm
going
to
bring
it
in
front
of
the
council
and
we
had
a
meeting
about
a
week
or
so
back.
You
know
with
a
few
few
people
from
the
administration.
Also
people
from
this
that
well
the
city
clerk
was
there
also
we
want
to
see
if
we
can
improve
the
room
to
try
to
make
some
changes.
L
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
go
back
and
try
to
get
a
quote
and
see
if
we
can
upgrade
some
of
the
cameras?
I
know
we
talked
about
that
in
the
past,
so
I'll
send
it
out
for
a
quote
to
do
a
revision,
so
we
can
have
the
council
room,
you
know
with
the
social
distance,
you
know,
we've
been
brainstorming.
I've
been
brainstorming,
some
ideas,
you
know
what
we
can
do
to
the
council
room
or
council
chambers
make
it
more.
L
L
Also
I
want
to
bring
to
to
everybody's
attention,
especially
our
senior
citizens,
there's
a
lot
of
scammers
out
there,
and
I
want
our
seniors
to
be
very
careful.
If
something
doesn't
look
right,
if
something
doesn't
sound
right,
you
know,
please
call
the
our
police
department
or
call
the
city
hall
and
ask
us
that
question.
If
somebody
asks
you
for
personal
information,
anything
with
like
your
social
security
card
bank
bank
account
statement,
I
mean
bank
account
numbers
or
credit
card.
Anything
like
that.
L
You
know
please
get
a
hold
of
the
police
department
or
us
here
at
the
city
hall,
because
there's
been
a
scam
with
a
water
bill,
somebody's
been
reaching
out
to
some
senior
citizens
and
they're,
asking
them
for
they're,
saying
that
you
owe
this
much
to
the
city
and
the
they're,
using
somebody
from
the
city
hall,
somebody's
name,
and
it
was
one
of
the
one
of
the
residents
actually
paid
that
a
big
amount.
So
we
want
to
try
to
prevent
that.
L
So
please,
please
make
sure
you
reach
out
to
us
if
this
happens
just
to
make
sure
we
confirm.
Also
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
also
acknowledge.
I
know
councilman
wenzel
mentioned
this
month
is
our
black
history
month.
We
have
something
posted
on
black
history
month
for
at
our
site
website
and
also
our
facebook.
So
please
visit
that
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
information
on
that.
Also,
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
we
have
recognition.
L
I
wanna
recognize
some
of
our
folks
from
our
fire
department.
We
have
paul
nieto,
we
have
marco
dion
casey,
workman,
brian
lopkovic
and
justin
human.
They.
Actually,
they
responded
to
a
call
for
one
of
our
disabled.
It
was
a
lady
that
was
this
recently
disabled
and
she
wasn't
she's
disabled
in
bed,
and
so
she
wasn't
getting
oxygen,
so
she
called
the
she
called
the
fire
department.
They
responded,
they
went
to
her
basement.
They
discovered
that
her
water
heater
was
leaking,
so
they
decided
to.
L
She
was
when
they
told
her
that
it
was
leaking.
You
know
she
couldn't
afford
it,
so
she
started
crying,
so
the
those
firefighters
they
actually
came
through,
they
went
purchase
a
heater
and
they
paid
for
it
out
of
their
own
fund
and
they
came
at
a
separate
time
and
they
replaced
the
water
here
for
her,
but
later
on,
the
union
actually
reimbursed
them.
So
that's
that's
very
commendable.
L
Also.
We
have
some
letters
of
appreciation.
Thank
you.
That's
amazing,
thank
you,
and
also
we
have
some
emt.
We
have
letter
of
appreciation
for
roger
chapman
and
bob
flynn,
a
good
letter
recommendation
from
one
of
the
residents
also
another
letter
of
appreciation
to
firefighter
jonathan
mcclay.
So
again,
thank
you
for
your
service.
Oh
I'm,
sorry.
I
missed
one.
We
have
lieutenant
nathaniel,
dunham
and
firefighter
derek
herman
and
firefighter
michael
metz.
Also,
they
got
a
good
letter
recommendation
here
from
one
of
the
residents.
R
Thank
you,
madam

just
real
briefly.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
on
behalf

so
just
wanted
to

a
personal
shout
out
to

what
we're
dealing
with

going

the
adjustments
everyone's
making.
