Have
it
motion
carried
all
right,
we're

and
start
with
public
comments.
Like
I
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
give
residents
an
opportunity
to
speak
three
minutes.
H
Good
evening,
everybody
good
evening
rosemary,
thank
you.
I
have
a
question
for
our
controller
in
the
budget.
H
H
I
Mr
chair,
thank
you
as
council
will
recall,
as
council
will
recall
the
in
one
of
our
previous
budget
sessions.
I
I
So
if
you
look
at
your
proposed
draft
resolution,
that
was
with
your
package
for
this
evening,
you'll
see
on
page
one
of
the
draft
resolution.
If
you
go
there,
you'll
see
the
7.5059.
I
Is
this
so
the
rate
dropped
because
the
expenses
dropped
we're
paying
for
the
employer,
contributions
for
police
and
fire
5.186
million
dollars,
we're
going
to
pay
for
the
paygo
healthcare
for
retirees,
3.764
million
dollars,
we're
going
to
be
paying
for
out
of
this
levy,
operating
expenses
of
the
pa,
345
operating
expenses
for
the
pa,
345
pension
system
and
we're
also
going
to
be
making
an
opeb
a
future
funding
contribution
of
a
million
62-500.
I
Those
four
expenses
will
tote.
Yes,
those
four
expenses
will
total
10.677
million
dollars,
which
is
just
slightly
under
the
pa.
345
levy
that
we're
estimating
for
fiscal
year
july
1
2022,
and
you
can
see
we're
estimating
10.691
million
dollars.
Now
you
might
ask
why
isn't
it
right
on
the
right
on
the
on
the
right
on
and
that
takes
into
consideration
tax
capture?
I
You'll
collect
approximately
99.8
of
the
levy
and
when
that
so
you're,
basically
backing
away
a
little
bit
to
make
sure
that
you
have
enough
dollars
there
to
pay
the
bill
and
that
hits
it
right.
The
the
hammer
hits
the
top
of
the
nail
perfectly
so
again,
the
rate
is
that
we're
proposing
will
be
seven.
The
final
rate
is
7.5059,
generating
10.691
million,
covering
10.677
million
dollars
worth
of
expenses.
H
D
I
Well,
if
we,
if
we're
still
sitting
on
an
old
on
an
old
budget,
that's
on
on
the
internet
for
sure
that
would
come
down
and
we
put
the
the
revised
when
that's
up
that's
going
to
council,
we
can
make
sure
that
that's
up
there
for
for
monday
or
tuesday's
meetings.
H
J
H
I
A
Thank
you,
so
thank
you
so
for
that
though,
madam
clerk,
I
don't
know
who
actually
it'd
be.
Can
we
make
sure
that
this
new
budget
is
up
by
tomorrow,
the
one
that
the
council
members
have
on
the
website.
D
I
I
I
K
I
A
A
L
Hello,
rachel
lapointe
merrick
street
dearborn
heights.
I
have
a
variety
of
questions
that
I
know
you
guys
may
or
may
not
have
the
answers
to
so.
Regarding
the
union
negotiations
that
are
going
on,
I
believe
four
of
our
seven
or
eight
union
contracts
are
in
negotiations
right
now
and
we'll
have
even
more
coming
up
soon.
If
and
if
a
pay
increase
is
negotiated,
would
you
guys
then
have
to
do
a
budget
amendment
to
accommodate
the
salaries.
L
I
love
yes
or
no
answers,
because
they're
quick
saves
less
time.
I've
heard
that
overtime
has
been
cut
in
gpw
and
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
cutting
the
overtime
costs.
I
think
that's
great.
Do
we
have
a
list
of
how
like
in
dpw
things
would
get
prioritized
if
they
basically
run
out
of
time
to
get
everything
done
because
they're
not
allowed
to
have
over
time?
So,
for
example,
a
lot
of
people
are
concerned
that
their
streets
aren't
swept
right.
L
We
always
hear
that,
and
I
was
thinking
if
they
don't
have
overtime.
They
had
a
water
main
break,
they've
used
up
all
their
hours
what's
getting
cut,
and
that
might
be
something
more
for
the
administration
to
think
on.
I
don't
know
that
you
guys
have
that
answer,
but
it's
just
a
thought
as
we're
budgeting
these
things
and
trying
to
cut
over
time.
So
that
was
more
of
a
comment.
L
It's
okay.
He
wouldn't
need
to
answer
that.
Maybe
if
he
you
know
and
then,
if
someone's
salary
on
the
budget
did
not
match
their
contracted
salary,
which
one
takes
precedence,
the
contract,
I
would
assume
would
take
precedence
if
the
budget
is
different.
I
I
So
then
what
happens
here
is
we
we've
done
our
very
best
to
match
what
we
think
that
that
dollar
value
is
versus
what
they're
going
to
get
paid?
Now.
Remember
it's
a
budget,
and
when
you
look
at
a
departmental
budget,
you
have
multiple
people
on
a
salary
line
item
there's
not
one
there's
with
the
exception
of
the
three
elected
officials.
I
I
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
do
our
very
best
to
match
salary
to,
for
that,
for
the
for
the
budgeted
fiscal
year
to
the
contractual
salaries
and
contractual
salaries
would
dictate
in
control.
Thank
you.
I
L
Yeah
and
then
one
last
comment
kind
of
I
appreciate
very
much
the
better
detail
on
the
budget,
like
I
really
love
that
we
were
splitting
things
up
a
little
bit
better
by
department,
so
we
could
kind
of
understand
that
better.
I
think
that
was
excellent.
It
did
seem
like
some
things
could
for
next
year,
be
split
even
more
like
legal
fees
and
stuff.
L
If
we
were
going
to
split
that
better
among
departments,
I
know
the
planning
commission
said
that
they
use
a
lot
of
legal
fees,
but
it's
not
in
their
department
so
for
next
year.
I
think
that
that
would
be
really
helpful
for
everybody
to
see
more
how
the
legal
fees
are
spread
among
the
departments,
since
we
started
doing
that
with
the
hr
this
year.
Since
the
labor
lawyer
was
in
there.
A
I
thought
that
was
great,
though
yeah
I
mean
it's
a
good
point,
but
I
do
want
to
tell
you
mr
sabuda
here
put
together
a
budget,
probably
three
weeks,
I
think
maybe
four
after
getting
into
office
yeah
and
for
I
speak
for
myself.
I
probably
barely
signed
my
name
three
four
weeks
into
a
new
job.
Nevertheless
put
a
whole.
M
M
A
L
For
next
time,
I'm
sure
I
think
next
time.
I
think
that
would
be
great
to
see
even
more
detail
on
that
and
then
one
last
thought
about.
Maybe
if
we
could
budget
more
for
emergencies
like
if
there
was
some
sort
of
rain
event
that
we
needed
to
clean
up
or
some
other
natural
disaster,
like
a
tornado,
goes
through
budgeting,
some
sort
of
rainy,
day
fund
or
emergency
fund
for
things
like
I
know,
last
year
we
had
to
get
extra
trash
pickup.
A
C
I
Okay,
so
what
you
have
is
you
have
you
have
unfun
unrestricted
fund
balance
is
basically
emerging
would
be
theoretically
your
emergency
situation.
If
you
had
something
that
was
absolutely
disastrous.
Okay,
we
do
not
have
a
line
item
specific
specifically
for
for
ifcom.
What,
if
there's
nothing
in
that
budget
for
that,
and
I
would
not
recommend
that
so
emergencies
are
are
done
with
the
exception
of
a
rainy
day
fund.
That's
that's
set
up
by
council
and
is
in
the
as
and
as
a
ordinance.
I
You
have
a
disaster.
It's
going
to
be,
you
need
to
be
swift,
and
then
you
need
to
mend
your
budget,
because
it's
health,
first
health
and
safety
first,
and
you
always
want
to
take
care
of
health
and
safety
first.
So
that's
how
you
handle
your
emergencies
here.
I
want
to
remind
everyone
that
we
are
overspending
and
we're
using
fund
balance
to
cover
that
overspending
for
the
fiscal
year.
I
A
C
I
A
I
A
And
we
agreed
with
the
state
at
16
at
the
time,
16
reserves,
and
obviously
I
know
we
don't
have
that
right
now,
right,
that's
right!
One
of
the
things
that
I
was
going
to
have
on
my
notes
here
to
to
speak
with
you
about
is
slashing
overtime
currently
over
time
between
police
and
fire
by
itself
is
around
1.8
million,
and
then,
of
course,
you
got
other
overtime
now
some
some
particular
departments.
It
makes
a
little
bit
more
sense
like,
for
example,
dpw,
which
I
know
are
short
staffed
by.
I
C
I
A
Okay,
because
the
concern
is
that's
the
resolution
that
we
signed
all
of
us
as
council
members
agreeing
with
the
state
to
stay
around
that
number
and
one
of
the
conversations
I've
had
with
the
resident,
and
it
is
maybe
cutting
some
of
the
overtime
that
is
quite
drastic
and
in
in
most
departments
for
most
businesses.
When
there's
a
person
missing,
somebody
else
jumps
on
and
helps
take
over
david.
That
would
be
obviously
the
most
ideal.
A
One
of
the
things
that
were
brought
up
was:
maybe
the
departments
can,
instead
of
being
given
automatic
overtime,
bringing
you
know,
monthly
overtime
as
far
as
what
what
budget
they
need
for
overtime
for
that
particular
department,
so
that
we're
not
at.
I
think
it's
like
2
million
something
in
overtime
total,
which
I
think
is
way
too
high.
2.7.
A
Right
so
something
definitely
needs
to
be
done
about
that,
but
right
now
I
know
we
have
two
months
in
reserves
right.
I
A
A
I
J
Vince
trapkowski
columbia
street
mr
chair,
based
on
what
you
learned
earlier
governor
richmond.
J
A
So
what
he's
referencing
there,
mr
comptroller
and
for
those
council
members,
I
read
in
a
newspaper
article
that
there's
a
mandate
from
the
state
from
governor
whitmer
that
all
public
meetings
have
to
be
recorded
in
one
format
or
another.
Now,
obviously,
you
realize
in
a
newspaper
it's
not
going
to
be
all
the
details
of
what
the
mandate
is,
but
all
public
meetings
have
to
be
recorded,
one
form
or
another,
whether
it's
video
or
audio,
and
it
has
to
be
kept
for
one
year
now.
A
What
I
don't
know
is
the
specific
details
on
it,
so
I
had
a
little
sticky
note
on
my
desk
for
tomorrow
to
speak
with
the
clerk
about
it.
But
then,
while
speaking
here,
she
was
looking
at
me.
So
I
said
you
know
what
at
least
I'll,
let
her
know
right
now,
she's
in
the
process
of
looking
into
it
now
in
the
initial
stages
of
looking
into
it,
and
that's
not
the
final
answer,
but
she
believes
in
her
initial
stages
of
looking
into
it
just
before
the
meeting.
A
She
believes
it's
just
for
state
meetings,
only
that's
the
mandate
with
that.
Being,
let's,
let's
pretend
that's
the
case.
If
that's
the
case,
you
don't
look
into
the
specifics,
but
even
if
that's
the
case,
I
speak
for
myself
as
a
council
member
and
I'm
speaking
on
by
behalf
of
myself,
not
the
body,
I
would
prefer
everything
be
recorded.
I'd
prefer
residents.
A
Open
meeting
period,
so
I
would
be
all
for
it
and
if
something
can
be
done,
I'd
be
all
for
it
and
you'd
get
a
yes
vote
out
of
me.
Every
time.
A
That's
what
the
yeah,
like,
I
said.
The
first
step
is
our
clerk
is
looking
into
the
mandate
and
then
the
second
step
would
be
if
we
could
somehow
implement
it
again
myself,
I'm
saying
it
publicly.
I
would
be
all
for
it.
I
definitely
think
every
meeting
should
be
accessible
to
all
members
of
the
audi
look.
Let
me
give
you
an
example
like
right
now
we
have
a
city
council
meeting
and
it's
on
budget.
A
E
A
A
D
D
A
That's
what
I
thought
seconded
by
councilman
muscat,
any
discussion
on
that
hearing.
None
all
in
favor,
please
stay
die
hi.
Those
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
members
of
the
public.
First,
we'll
start
with
comments
from
council
members.
A
G
Nothing
to
do
about
the
budget,
but
this
one
my
travels
last
week
I
went
through
allen
park
on
trash
pickup
day
and,
as
I
traveled
through
allen
park,
I
seen
no
cars
on
the
road,
absolutely
none
zero.
Every
trash
can
lined
up
on
the
grass.
G
I
mean
just
as
almost
like
straight
as,
like
somebody
shot
a
laser
beam
down
down
the
grass
line
there.
Everybody's
trash
cans
put
out,
and
I
then
stopped
at
city
hall
there,
and
I
was
notified
that
they
don't
have
very
many
complaints
if
any
and
their
trash
pickup
people
are
gfl,
and
it
just
bothers
me
that
even
on
my
own
block,
I
see
trash
cans
lined
up
industry
cars
on
the
street
on
trash
pickup
day
is
the
people
in
allen
park
better
than
we
are.
Are
they
better
than
we
are.
G
And
you
know,
and
a
lot
of
places
have
it
as
a
misdemeanor:
it's
not
even
just
a
ticket
parking
ticket,
and
I
you
know
we
we
spend
thousands
of
dollars
sending
out
flyers.
Our
dearborn
heights
magazine
and
in
that
magazine
tells
you
a
lot
of
the
ordinances
and
we
do
this
at
different
changes
of
the
season.
G
G
I
don't
even
want
to
call
out
other
cities
around
us,
but
you
know
I
could
take
a
picture
of
a
house
in
a
different
city
and
a
house
in
our
city
and
put
them
together
and
you
wouldn't
guess
the
one
which
houses
in
what
city
so
folks
out
there
come
on.
You
know.
We've
got
a
lot
of
people
in
this
city
that
take
care
of
their
property.
G
M
All
right,
I'd
like
to
speak
to
the
same
issue
with
the
trash.
I
personally
experienced
it
this
time,
and
I
know
my
area
has
for
the
last
three
weeks
out
of
the
last
four
my
trash
pickup
day
was
friday
morning.
The
only
thing
that
was
picked
up
friday
evening
was
the
recycle
saturday.
They
came
and
they
got
the
yard
waste.
M
I
called
yesterday
because
myself
and
three
neighbors
left
our
cans
out
with
our
regular
trash.
Until
yesterday,
I
was
told
by
the
lady
at
priority
that
she
would
make
all
the
notes
and
get
to
it,
and
I
reinforced
that
thought
was
saying
that
I
was
a
councilwoman
and
I'm
tired
of
getting
the
complaints,
so
she
said
it
would
be
taken
care
of
yesterday.
However,
they
made
it
at
8
45
a.m.
Today
this
is
tuesday.
A
Okay,
there
has
been
without
getting
into
the
details,
but
there
has
been
a
change
with
priority
and
you're
going
to
see
some
improved
service
in
the
next
few
days.
I
I
can't
get
into
the
details,
but
there's
been
a
change
council
chair,
councilman
constant
was
next
yes
constantly.
N
I
was
going
to
address
some
of
the
issues,
so
I
did
talk.
Wait
guys
please.
So
I
did
this.
I
had
the
owner
of
priority
called
me
today
twice
and
just
trying
to
figure
out.
What's
going
on
so
in
the
past,
we've
had
a
limit
on
the
lawn
bags.
You
know
where
about
10,
I
think
was
top
was
I
think
10
was
the
maximum,
so
the
the
owner
actually
sent
me
some
pictures
and
there's
one
resident
actually
he's
got
a
big
house,
so
he
has
his
yard
waste.
N
N
So
that's
the
issue
that
we're
having
it's
not
like.
They
weren't
they're
not
out
there
because
they
don't
want
to
just
take
the
maximum.
You
know
the
ten
bags
or
five
bags
or
whatever
they're,
taking
all
the
bags
they're
actually
going
through
each
house
and
taking
whatever's
outside
and
that's
what
set
them
up
set
them
back
is
the
amount
of
bags
that
they
have
to
pick
up.
There
was
one
truck
actually
filled,
they
went
down
half
a
block
and
they
filled
the
truck,
so
they
had
to
go.
N
N
Priority
waste
actually
has
four
trucks,
just
taking
care
of
yard
waste,
so
they
had
four
trucks
allocated
because
they
knew
that
in
may
is
going
to
be
heavy
yard
waste
days.
So
they
allocated
four
trucks
to
the
one
heist
and
they
still
couldn't
keep
up.
So
that
was
the
biggest
concern
is
because
they're
trying
to
satisfy
dearborn
heights
and
taking
whatever
is
put
out
there,
but
it's
actually
it
backfired
on
them
because
they
were
like
taking
everything
from
residents.
N
N
You
know
calling
us
ahead
of
time
or
even
calling
priority
waste
ahead
of
time
to
tell
them
hey.
We
have
that
many
bags,
you
know
so
they
know
because
planning
you
know
they
do
plan
for
average,
like
10
10
bags
for
five
bags
per
home,
but
when
somebody
puts
85
bags
you
know
so
you're
talking
about
you
know
eight
to
ten
homes
with
a
bag.
A
They
definitely
have
a
glitch
in
their
system.
There's
been
whole
neighborhoods
missed,
including
today
a
full
neighborhood
was
missed
north
of
warren
avenue,
and
some
residents
contacted
me.
I
got
a
hold
of
him.
He
said
he's
sending
a
truck
right
out,
so
he
gave
I
guess
if
you're
gonna
call
good
customer
service
on
that
end
and
getting
the
truck
out
there
right
away,
but
there's
still
too
many
glitches
missed.
I'm
gonna
tell
you
my
personal
opinion
on
this
anytime.
A
resident
knows
who
the
garbage
company
is.
A
It
means
they're
not
doing
a
good
job,
because
it's
very
similar
like
in
my
business.
I've
always
had
a
thing
in
my
real
estate
business.
If
a
home
seller
or
a
home
buyer
knows
who
the
title
company
is,
it
means
they're
not
doing
a
good
job
and
if
the
the
real
or
the
buy
the
seller
I
say
knows
who
the
mortgage
company
is,
it
means
the
mortgage
company
is
dropping
the
ball
and
in
general,
with
most
residents.
G
A
10
12
15
years
ago,
I
had
no
idea
who
our
garbage
collector
is,
and
I
didn't
care
as
long
as
they
got
the
job
done.
That
was
good,
but
if
I
did
get
concerns
on
a
consistent
basis
in
my
house,
I
would
definitely
know
who
they
are.
So
that's
the
point
I'm
making.
They
definitely
have
glitches
in
their
system
and
I'm
hoping
remember
we
we
had
a
conversation
about
that.
A
I'm
hoping,
I
know
you
said
you're
working
on
getting
a
study
session
soon
and
I'm
open
to
that
to
bring
them
in
here
and
answer
some
of
the
questions
that
some
of
the
council
members
have
and
some
of
the
residents
have
I'm
going
to
give
them
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
because
they
did
start
new
and
I've
told
a
lot
of
people
that
look
they've
been
here.
For
you
know
it's
not
been.
A
N
Council
chair,
I
recommended
at
the
last
meeting
that
they
actually
want
to
come
down
to
the
next
meeting
so,
like
you
know,
ahead
of
time
so
schedule
45
minutes
or
30
to
45
minutes
meeting
at
the
next
council
meeting.
So
next
tuesday.
A
O
You,
council,
chair
and
mr
cebuda
having
been
in
worked
in
lansing
you're,
probably
familiar
with
the
term
backfill,
so
we
might
be
able
to
for
our.
We
were
audited
by
the
state.
As
you
probably
know,
they
said
we
need
to
have
a
healthy
fun
budget
and
at
least
16
of
fund
balance
or
less
than
that.
But
we
have
the
error.
Money
might
be
able
to
use
that.
O
We
could
use
it
for
something
in
the
police
department,
the
big
expensive
player
and
then
that
money
saved
used
to
backfill
for
this
year.
That's
just
something
to
think
about.
We
used.
O
O
Priority
waste
paul
ruthenberg,
I
mean
the
city
had
a
while
ago.
Mr
miyagi
will
remember
a
lot
of
problems
with
painter
luther.
They
went
out
of
business,
they
had
commercial
clients
who
were
the
crash.
Pickup
was
demanding
cash
payments
because
they
said
they
hadn't
been
paid
weeks
is
paul,
rusenberg
he's
not.
Is
he
just
an
officer?
Is
he
he's.
C
N
A
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
constance.
Yes,
just
just
a
quick
statement
on
my
end
spoken
with
the
police
chief
today,
and
I
just
want
to
say
it
publicly,
they're
going
to
be
coming
down
hard
on
people,
speeding
playing
games
with
motorcycles,
stopping
traffic
on
ford
road.
A
All
this
stuff
is
going
to
stop
and
I'll
just
say
it
directly.
The
chief
is
just
not
happy
so
for
those
I
enjoy
speeding
and
acting,
like
idiots
I'll,
just
say
straight
up:
you're
not
going
to
be
happy
with
the
police
department
pretty
soon
next
few
weeks,
so
that
stuff's
got
to
be
cut
out
because
you're
putting
a
lot
of
people's
lives
in
danger.
A
D
You
know
just
give
a
little
bit
of
good
news.
I
actually
had
a
conversation
with
paul
the
manager
who
called
me
over
the
weekend
after
I
emailed
them.
If
there's
one
thing
that
you
know
when
it
comes
to,
you
know
waste
management
I
feel,
like
the
city
really
has
ptsd
of
what
has
happened
in
the
past
and,
like
the
mayor
said,
we
won't
name.
You
know
what
happened
so.
D
Conversation
with
paul-
and
I
swear-
I
absolutely
love
paul-
believe
it
or
not.
He
was
so
welcoming.
He
understood
he
shared
our
frustration.
He
he
had
me
sold
to
her.
I
couldn't
even
say
anything
to
him.
I
said
he
told
me
we're
wrong.
It
needs
to
be
fixed.
It's
going
to
be
fixed,
it's
happening.
Give
me
a
week.
I
couldn't
even
say
anything
to
him.
I
said
paul,
I
have
nothing
to
say,
hung
up
the
phone.
D
I
think
priority
waste
is
actually
going
to
do
a
good
job
like
like
the
consulate
chair
said
it's
only
been
three
months,
no
excuses,
not
even
if
they
collect
80
bags,
no
excuses,
but
I
promise
you
it's
going
to
get
better.
You
had
and-
and
I'm
I'm
just
speaking
verbatim
the
words
that
paul
told
me
he
seemed
very
sincere
like
they
said.
Well,
they
told
me
not
to
say
nothing
but
others
were
released
from
priority
ways
who
weren't
doing
a
good
job
in
dearborn
heights
and
the
new
manager.
D
Now
that's
gonna,
be
taking
over
the
urban
heights
is
paul.
I
told
him
that
anytime,
I
hear
a
complaint
paul.
I'm
sharing
your
contact
number
with
the
residents
he
said.
Please
do
so
he's
all
open
for
it.
Secondly,
I
know
we
had
the
grass
recently
cut
in
at
the
warren
valley
golf
course
to
buy
mr
isa
and
his
company.
I
appreciate
them
for
doing
that,
and
I
just
kind
of
you
know.
Maybe
we
can
get
a
quick
moment
of
silence.
D
Recently,
a
a
family
friend
of
ours
to
this
community
was
hit
while
he
was
riding
a
motorcycle.
He
actually
passed
away
as
they
were
pulling
out
of
a
business
on
ford
road.
So
if
we
can
go
out,
council
chair
have
a
moment
of
silence
for
the
family
of
laith
and
who
who
just
passed
away.
May
he
rest
in
peace.
F
Wenzel
yeah.
Thank
you,
council
chair,
I'm
not
going
to
lie
to
everyone
and
say
I
I
understand
100
this
budget
because
there's
so
many
things
that
have
happened
through
the
budget
hearings
in
each
department.
Things
were
said:
their
mistakes
were
made
and
they're
gonna
be
corrected.
F
I
don't
know
if
they're
corrected
there
were
so
many
things
we're
taking
taking
the
administration's
word
that
all
these
things
are
being
taken
care
of,
and
it
was
just
said
by
the
comptroller
that
we
were
overspending
about
a
million
over
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
whatever
it
was.
Why
can't
you
know?
Why
can't
we
overspend
on
our
contract
employees,
our
union
employees,
we
overspend
on
everything
else?
F
But
it's
all
it's
been
said
throughout
the
hearings
that
you
know
it
can
be
changed
and
I
don't
know
how
what
the
process
is
I
mean,
should
it
be
changed
before
we
approve
the
budget,
but
everyone
knows
that
I'm
backing
our
union
members
in
their
contract
negotiations
to
get
as
much
as
they
can
as
much
as
they
deserve.
I
should
say.
C
F
F
D
A
But
but
but
in
all
fairness
of
councilman
I
mean
we've
had
about
what
was
that
look
at
like
10
12
8,
whatever
it
is
meetings
on
this,
so
you
know
there's
been
many
times,
and
I
know
you
brought
up
some
things.
Obviously,
there's
been
many
times
and
many
discussions
on
all
the
specifics,
so
it's
not
like
we
haven't
had
the
opportunity,
as
council,
members
or
or
residents
to
be
able
to
to
bring
up
discussions
on
specific
items.
A
A
So
if
we
have
a
57
million
dollar
budget
and
somebody
let's
say
councilman
baidu
and
says
well,
I
think
we
spend-
I
don't
know
two
million
dollars
on
on
on
this.
You
know:
well,
then,
that
two
million
is
gonna,
come
from
somewhere
else
or
we're
gonna.
Add
we
gotta
add
additional
revenue,
which
in
this
case
would
be,
you
know,
are
no
taxes
or
any
other
particular
format.
So
that's
what
yes,
it
is
fluid,
but
if
you're
gonna
something's
gotta
be
canceled
out
to
add
something
is
what
I'm
saying.
F
Yeah,
I
I
I
respect
your
with
all
due
respect.
I
respect
your
your
comments
there,
but
every
time
I
did
make
a
comment
about
it.
It
said,
but
you
know
councilman,
that
you
know
this
budget's
fluid
and
it
could
be
changed
and
that's
the
only
response
I
ever
got.
It
wasn't
say:
hey,
let's
set
up
a
special
meeting
to
hear
about
everyone's
concerns
in
the
residence
and
city
council.
What
do
they
think
about
the
budget
like
in
today
the
budget?
Here
you
know
what
what
do
they
think
needs
to
be
changed.
F
I
don't
think
anyone
said,
except
for
rachel
the
point
about
the
you
know.
What
would
we
do
if
the
contracts
were
raises
were
given
to
the
union
employees?
They
said
well,
the
budget
would
be
amended.
F
I
mean
it
would
just
say:
oh
it'd
be
amended,
so
you
know
you
got
to
cancel
stuff
out.
I
mean
what's
the
procedure,
I
mean,
what
do
you
cancel
out?
I
mean
what
department
I
mean
it's
just.
I
I'm
just
confused
about
this
whole
process.
If
you
want
something
how
you
go
about
getting
it,
I
mean
it's
impossible,
probably.
I
Certainly,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
there
is
a
budget
process.
Okay,
we
go
through
it.
Almost
every
council
meeting.
You
voted
on
multiple
budget
amendments
over
the
since
I've
been
here
and
what
ends
up
happening
here
is
the
recommendation
is
usually
you're
reducing
one
line
item
and
increasing
another
line
item
or
you're
increasing
a
revenue
line
item
in
order
to
spend
more
at
the
end
of
the
day.
I
There
are
times
also
when,
when
fund
balance
is
also
utilized,
but
all
that
is
clearly
communicated
to
the
council
and
I
I
can
name
at
least
I
believe
there
were
at
least
two
budget
amendments
since
I've
been
like
the
comptroller.
Don't
hold
me
to
that.
But
I
budget
amendments
come
to
the
council
they've
been
here
and
you
voted
on
them.
F
F
F
I
C
I
I
We've
covered
every
line
item
87
pages
108
million
dollars
in
109
million
dollars
in
revenue,
you've
seen
and
you've
seen
118.1
million
dollars
in
expenses,
you've
seen
it
all
over
five
budget
hearings
and
we've
made
that
recommendation,
and
you
have
that
recommendation
before
you
this
evening.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you.
A
But
up
to
up
to
councilman
up
to
including
during
any
of
those
meetings,
if,
whether
it's
you
counseling.
A
Whoever
it
is,
brings
up
a
particular
budget
item
and
we
all
negotiate
it.
Obviously,
it's
a
democracy.
So,
even
if
you
brought
up
something
or
I
brought
up
something,
I
could
agree
with
you
or
disagree
with
you,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we,
as
a
council
body,
are
going
to
vote
if
we're
going
to
make
that
change
to
the
budget,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
budget
is
brought
forward
by
the
administration.
A
But
it's
not.
It
is
not
up
to
them
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
is
up
to
us,
as
far
as
what
we
do
in
the
budget,
within
the
expenditures
and
the
revenues
that
we
have,
and
so
even
if
you
had
something
specific
and
you
would
have
brought
it-
and
I
know
you
brought
some
stuff
forward-
I'm
not
saying
you
didn't,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
all
of
a
sudden,
the
body
would
agree
or
disagree
to
either
make
that
change
or
not
make
that
change.
Everybody
has
had
ample
opportunity.
F
A
And
let's
talk
about
the
elephant
room
and
I'm
just
gonna
start
it
out.
I
think
what
you're
referencing
is
obviously
some
of
the
employees
and
a
lot
of
us
as
council
members
have
said
how
we
feel
about
it,
including
myself.
I've
said
you
know,
I'm
all
for
making
sure
that
they
are
paid
fairly
and
equitably.
A
I
personally,
as
a
person
as
a
council
member,
have
no
problem
with
that.
We've
also
had
multiple
closed
sessions
on
that,
where
we
had
deep,
deep,
deep,
deep
conversation
with
administration
with
the
mayor
and
with
hr
about
that,
and
obviously
I
can't
state
what
the
specific
conversations
were,
because
it
was
in
a
closed
session.
But
that
particular
item
and
I'm
talking
about
the
elephant
in
the
room
has
been
addressed.
A
Is
it
to
the
satisfaction
of
each
and
every
one
of
us?
Probably
not,
but
that's
a
part
of
whenever
you
have
a
body
of
seven
of
anything
we're
not
all
going
to
be
in
agreement
and
when
you
have
multiple,
multiple
bodies
of
any
administration
or
any
government.
You
know
in
this
particular
case
you
got
the
executive
or
administrative
branch
and
you
got
us
the
legislative
branch
we
may
not
always
be
in
disagreement.
A
A
F
We've
spoken
up
about
that
and
now,
as
far
as
the
contrary
of
the
budget
approval,
I
know
only
the
corporate
part
of
it
has
to
be
approved
by
june
the
1st
of
june
or
something
how's.
A
I
I
A
Pull
it
up
here,
but
you
guys
know
what
I'm
referencing
we
get
so
much
papers,
but
what
I
had
the
controller
do
because
of
that
specific
subject,
and-
and
I
commend
you
for
being
upfront
and
honest
about
the
fact
that
either
you
I
or
any
one
of
us-
are
cpas
or
financial
analysts
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
So
I
get
that
I
totally
get
that
and
because
of
that
I
asked
the
comptroller
in
a
meeting
with
them.
A
A
Ultimately
what
you'll
be
voting
on,
and
that's
this
particular
one
right
here:
5
8
specifically,
but
it's
one
that
was
in
the
initial
part
of
the
budget
right
here,
the
resolution
okay
and
on
this
one
I
asked
the
comptroller
and
he
obliged-
and
I
appreciate
that
I
said
you
know-
there's
a
lot
of
numbers
here,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
going
to
be
voted
on,
and
this
particular
resolution
is
a
different
format
from
the
format.
At
least
I
speak
for
myself.
A
It
had
previously
been
used
in
the
past,
which
was,
if
you
recall,
councilman,
someone's
older
councilman
they've,
been
in
here
a
while.
We
do
one
line
at
a
time.
If
you
recall
you
remember
that,
and
each
and
every
council
member
would
read
one
line.
The
controller's
got
a
new
format.
A
I
I
think
it's
a
better
one,
honestly,
I
I
like
it
personally,
but
with
that
being
the
case,
I
asked
him
to
reference
each
one
of
these
numbers.
I'm
you
know
you
can't
see
the
number
here,
but
I
asked
the
controller
to
reference
each
one
of
those
line
items
in
the
resolution
to
a
specific
page
in
the
budget,
and
that
would
be
in
this
booklet
here,
that's
where
he's
referencing,
the
90
pages
or
so
to
reference
it
in
there,
where
we
specifically
discussed
it.
A
So,
for
example,
if
you
had
you
know,
federal
state
grants.
Okay,
I
don't
have
that
particular
page
with
the
numbers
on
there,
but
he
put
on
their
page.
Like
let's
say
not,
you
know,
82
you
go
to
page
82
and
you
see
we
had
the
full
conversation
on
that.
So
he
did
make
it
as,
and
I
appreciate
it
as
easy
as
possible,
but
to
be
clear,
it's
still
not
easy.
This
is
complex
stuff,
and
I
appreciate
your
comment
on
it
make
sure
we
all
sat
down.
Okay,.
G
You
can
vote
no
on
that
correct
when
it
comes
up
through
the
year.
So
when
somebody
said
we
budgeted
256
000
for
something
doesn't
mean
that's
an
automatic
payout,
you
can
say
no
and
you
look
at
it
and
you
get
your
monthly
statements
from
the
treasurer
from
the
comptroller
and
you
look
at
stuff
like
that,
and
you
say
you
know
what
I
don't
think
it's
a
very
good
time
right
now
to
spend
256
000.
G
A
And
and
and
something
that
all
those
council
members
can
do,
because
I
I
give
you
kudos
for
saying:
look,
I
don't
fully
understand
the
stuff,
a
hundred
million
percent
and
I
get
that
it
and
I've
done
it
myself.
Many
times
I
say
the
controller
hey
you
know,
can
you
explain
to
us
in
just
plain
english,
because
just
like
in
his
industry
in
any
other
industry,
they
start
talking
it
industry,
lingual
and
this
is
easier
for
them
than
it
is
for
us.
It's
not
our
specialty.
A
So
there's
nothing
wrong
when
I'm
saying
to
all
the
council
members,
if
there's
an
item,
you
don't
fully
100
understand,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
saying.
Please
explain
to
me
in
just
layman's
terms
and
that's
what
I've
asked
and
then
also,
if
you
remember,
I
also
asked.
N
L
A
Yep
yep,
this
is
the
one
I
asked
him
for.
I
asked
him
to
give
us
a
memorandum
and
he
gave
it
to
us
if
you
remember
explaining
what
each
and
every
item
what
the
specific
plain
english
meaning
of
it
the
vocabulary
sheet
and
when
he
did
the
budget,
he
did
it
and
also
this
format.
I
I
mean
he
did
a
lot
and
this
is
one
where
you
he
broke
it
down
with
the
graphs.
A
You
know
so
he's
given
us
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
again,
if
there's
something
you're
not
fully
in
in
full
understanding,
I
mean,
of
course,
you're
understanding
it,
but
full
understanding,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
asking
them
or
go
meet
with
them
face
to
face,
but
thank
you,
councilman,
any
other
questions
from
any
other
council
members.
All
right.
Anybody
from
administration,
mayor.
M
All
right,
the
most
important
announcement
I
have
this
time
is
that
the
south
dublin
high
civic
association's
normal
meeting
on
the
26th
of
may
thursday
evening,
7
to
approximately
9
p.m.
It's
going
to
be
very
special.
We
will
be
interviewing
kind
of
a
meet
and
greet
with
the
three
candidates
running
for
the
district.
The
15th
district
for
state
house
of
representatives,
questions
that
anybody
wants
to
have
asked.
They
can
contact
me
I'll,
get
it
on
the
agenda.
M
M
D
C
M
And
also
on
wednesday,
if
you're
interested
in
the
e-course
crete
commission,
we
will
have
that
meeting
at
six
o'clock
same
location,
we'll
update,
what's
been
going
on,
ali
deeb
will
be
there
to
present
his
his
findings
as
of
today
that,
where
we're
going
with
that,
hopefully
we'll
have
the
information
on
on
the
drone
that
went
across
the
creek
a
few
weeks
ago.
M
A
P
What
mike
blackburn
arnold
street
dearborn
heights
usually
councils
when
they've
done
the
budgets
in
the
past
on
this
last
day,
council
used
to
go
through
department
by
department
to
see
if
there
was
any
changes.
This
might
be
the
first
budget
ever
that
council
did
not
make
one
single
change
in
the
proposed
budget.
Last
year.
You
guys
made
a
whole
bunch
of
changes
and
even
when
the
mayor
was
on
city
council,
the
council
always
changed
something
in
the
budget.
P
A
G
G
So
you
know
we
did
do
that.
We
went
department
by
department
and
if
there
wasn't,
if
we
saw
overtime
and
we
discussed
stuff
about
overtime-
and
I
think
we
discussed
many
things
so
to
say
that
we
didn't
go
line
by
or
we
didn't
go
line
by
line
like
we
did
before
we
went
department
by
department
and
with
the
comptroller,
putting
everything
together
instead
of
having
to
go
from
the
apartment
and
go
back
to
another
page
and
look
at
this
and
then
look
at
that
friends
benefit.
G
We
combined
everything
together
and
everything
was
much
smoother
and
that's
why
the
questions
weren't
asked
like
they
were
in
previous
years,
and
I
know
this
is
my
sixth
budget
and
I
had
plenty
of
questions
on
previous
budgets,
but
the
way
they
were
put,
what
put
forward
you
didn't
understand
it
like.
You
could
understand.
C
A
We
did
have
discussion
department
by
department
during
each
and
every
one
of
those
meetings.
Now
it's
a
different
format
than
in
the
past,
I'll
I'll
give
you
there
absolutely,
but
at
the
same
time,
don't
forget
one
of
the
things
that
we
decided
on
and
when
we
started
with
this
budget
is
anything
that
was
of
a
major
discussion
or
needed
further
discussion
further
looking
into.
If
you
want
to.
C
A
P
Yeah,
that's
what
I'm
getting
as
is
just
different
than
the
previous
year.
So
usually
the
last
this
last
meeting,
you
guys
would
go
through
department
by
department.
After
all,
these
meetings
that
you
had
in
the
past
to
see
if
there
was
any
changes
from
all
your
discussions,
I
think
that's
what
councilman
wenzel
was
getting
at
was
you
went
through
and
okay,
we
had
all
these
meetings,
you
know
do:
do
we
want
make
any
changes
to
the
building
department?
Nobody
says,
no,
you
move
to
another
department,
you
move
to
another
department
that
way.
A
Oh
and
again,
there
was
changes
and
keep
in
mind
mike.
That's
an
excellent
question,
keep
in
mind
even
tomorrow.
Hypothetically,
let's
say
I
could
contact.
You
know
different
ones.
We
could
set
up.
You
know
a
meeting,
let's
say
special
meetings
say
we're
gonna,
I
don't
know,
add
a
hundred
thousand
or
something
or
subtract
a
hundred
thousand
from
something.
Technically,
it
still
happened,
but
again
we
had
multiple
meetings.
The
format
changes
for
two
for
two
reasons:
number
one.
You
got
a
new
new
body
of
council
members
and
which
direction
they
want
to
go
and
number
two.
A
More
importantly,
between
a
new
comptroller,
a
new
administration
there's
a
certain
way
that
you
would
have
been
used
to
it,
and
I
I
totally
understand
with
you
know:
god
rest
his
soul,
mayor
paletco.
He
was
the
mayor,
he
had
controllers
under
him
and
he
had
a
particular
format.
They
probably
preferred,
and
the
controller's
putter
probably
put
it
in
that
format.
That's
what
was
always
brought
to
council,
so
it'd
been
in
that
format
that
you
used
to.
A
I
get
that
we
have
new
mayor,
new
controller,
new
system
that
that's
been
used
and-
and
I
think
it's
worked
honestly,
my
personal
opinion-
I
can't
be
on
behalf
of
the
rest
of
the
council
members.
I
believe
it
was
for
the
better
okay.
But
if
there's
something
that's
a
question,
you're
welcome
to
ask.
P
And
I
want
to
speak
as
an
employee
for
a
second,
when
you
guys
are
talking
about
the
excessive
amount
of
overtime
overtime
gets
high
when
you're
short
on
employees,
because
when
you're
short
on
employees,
you
need
more
overtime
to
keep
the
same
level
or
better
services
than
what
you're
getting
so
when
overtime
is
really
high.
P
Your
manpower
is
down.
Our
manpower
is
down,
it's
nobody's
fault,
nobody
wants
jobs,
I
understand
it,
but
when
manpower
is
down,
more
overtime
is
needed
and
it
seems
like
overtime
is
a
bad
word.
When
you
say
you
want,
you
know
you
want
cut
over
time.
We
need
which
is
true,
but
as
overtime
is
slim
right
now,
some
things
are
not
getting
done
as
fast
as
they
would
have
been
because
of
certain
things.
P
So
when
manpower
is
down
the
overtimes
go,
it
is
going
to
be
high
because
you
got
to
get
that
same
level
of
service
done
when
you
have
in
the
winter
time.
When
you
have
shorter,
you
know
when
you're
short
employees,
winter
time
and
snows
you
gotta,
come
in
earlier
than
what
you
would
to
get
the
snow
done
in
the
same
amount
of
time
that
you
want
to
get
done,
so
it
just
causes
more
overtime,
and
I
think
overtime
is
being
treated
like
a
bad
word
right
now.
Thank
you.
A
A
If
they
can,
this
month,
we're
going
to
need
x,
amount
of
dollars
in
overtime
and
us
as
council
members
can
decide
if
that's
going
to
be
workable
or
not,
and
ask
additional
questions
or
at
the
very
minimal
at
the
end
of
the
month,
come
to
us
month
by
month,
instead
of
yearly,
because
usually
it's
almost
impossible
to
decipher
what
happened
like
you
know,
but
let
me
give
an
example
police
and
that's
just
as
an
example.
I
don't
want
to
be
pulled
over
when
I
walk
out
of
here.
A
Okay,
but
just
as
an
example
police,
almost
a
million
dollars
in
overtime
right.
So
right
now
I
asked
the
question:
what
was
that
million
dollars
used?
For
I
mean
you
know,
you're
talking
about
a
year's
worth,
there's
no
way
you
can
go
back
and
give
I
mean
you
can,
but
obviously
it
wouldn't
be
practical
to
go
back
and
see
one
year's
worth.
But
if
you
came
every
month
and
said
you're
using
like
hypothetically
in
dpw,
you
know
50
000
in
overtime,
then
I
or
other
council
members
are
going
to
say
well
what's
going
on
here.
A
Well,
it's
an
employee's
lack
of
employee
situation,
it's
whatever,
then.
Obviously
we
could
work
on
it
right
there
and
then
on
the
month.
That's
why
my
personal
preference
is
monthly.
They
give
us
either
the
budget
for
overtime
or
how
much
they
actually
spent
in
overtime.
That's
my
personal
preference!
A
L
Rachel
point
eric
street
dearborn
heights.
If
the
updated
budget
with
the
changes
that
were
made-
which
I
don't
believe
any
were
made
at
meetings
the
study
sessions,
I
think
they
were
all
made
at
outside
meetings.
Like
you
mentioned,
the
clerk
had
talked
to
the
comptroller
separately
and
that's
when
the
changes
were
made.
They
weren't
made
at
that
meeting
when.
A
It
was
discussed,
I
don't
want
to
go
in
the
wrong
direction,
absolutely
they
were
made
at
the
meetings.
The
situation
with
the
clerks
is,
we
talked
back
and
forth
and
it
was
just
a
little
bit
of
discrepancies
between
the
two
of
them.
So
we're
not
gonna
sit
and
go
into
right.
I'd,
say,
there's
an
argument,
so
I
said
to
them.
L
L
L
L
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Every
change
that
was
made
every
change
that
was
made
was
brought
out
loud
to
the
council,
with
the
dollar
value
and
at
certain
times
even
the
department.
The
department
number
was
also
given.
Every
change
was
highlighted.
Every
change
was
told
to
the
council.
There
was
discussion
right.
I
L
If
the
public
does
not
have
a
record
of
that,
not
everybody
can
attend
the
meetings.
Not
everybody
could
view
the
meetings.
Perhaps
maybe
someone's
deaf-blinded
mute
and
can
only
read
a
document,
but
they
want
to
email
you
their
comments
before
you
vote
on
it.
If
they
don't
have
that
line
item
thing
on
the
website,
how
are
they
supposed
to
comment,
and
I
don't
expect
an
answer,
it's
more
for
you
guys
to
think
about.
How
could
we
tell
you
what
we
think
if
you
don't
give
us
the
information
and
that's
all
thank
you.
A
But-
and
thank
you
but
I'd
like
to
ask
you
on
that,
because
I
can
tell
you
for
myself
specifically,
I've
said
it
publicly.
Many
times
had
made
conversations
with
mayor
about
that
and
many
many
many
many
many
many
enough
to.
Maybe
they
were
almost
ready
to
throw
me
out
to
clerk's
office
conversations
about
making
sure
that
everything
is
transparent.
A
Everything
is
accessible
up
to
and
including
speaking
to
clerks.
Right
now-
and
I
spoke
with
vince
to
you-
know
the
planning
commission,
the
zoning
commission,
everything
is
going
to
be
accessible,
so
I
don't
want
anybody
to
get
the
impression
that
anybody,
including
an
administration,
is
trying
to
block
anything
from
being
accessible.
A
Everything's
been
fully
accessible,
including
each
and
every
one
of
these
meetings
has
been
on
zoom,
so
people
do
have
access
to
it
and,
of
course,
in
person
and
of
course
we
have
newspaper
reporters
reporting
it
and
of
course
a
lot
of
things
are
being
put
up
on
our
website.
So
there's
multiple
avenues
for
residents
to
be
able
to
access
it.
A
D
D
You
got
a
quick
question
and
I'm
just
kind
of
like
food
for
thought
here
and
I'm
going
to
use
the
clerk's
situation
just
as
in
our
example.
I
know
we
went
over,
it
was
seventeen
thousand
dollars.
Is
that
correct.
B
D
It
was,
it
was
resolved
yes,
so
I
go
back
to
the
thought
that
did
we
ever
come
to
the
public
and
say
hey
guys.
We
went
back
to
this
line
item
was
that
because
I
asked
I'm
just
asking
because
I
mean
I.
D
And
council
chair,
I
just
got
to
say
one
more
thing:
let's
just
put
it
with
respect.
If
I'm
gonna
ask
a
question,
please
I
mean
I
don't
want
to
be
insulted.
I
mean
if
somebody
asks
us
a
question,
it's
it
is
okay.
I
understand
your
first.
You
did
a
great
job
with
this
and
I
completely
get
it,
but
I
feel
like
any
time
a
question
is
being
responded.
Yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
sarcasm
that
comes
with
it
with
respect.
Just
please
respect
us
on
here.
That's
all
I'm
asking
for
please
it.
A
D
A
Because
it
came
back
and
said
it
was
resolved,
and
this
is
how
we
resolved
it
and
then,
if
you
recall,
I
can't
remember
the
word
for
word.
If
you
recall
dana
when
I
said
to
you,
okay,
I
think
we're
comfortable
with
that
when
we
take
this
one
off
of
the
major
discussion
item,
if
you
recall,
but
again
I
remember
word
for
word:
we've
had
87
pages
of
discussion,
so
I
I
can't
remember
word
for
word
what
was
this
because
we
did
have
a
discussion
about
it
right
and
approval,
and
it's
still
there.
D
C
L
R
A
A
H
H
H
I
The
one
million
zero
0
55
47
in
new
and
open
positions,
so
the
new
positions
there
was
one
in
it.
We've
we've
gone
over
this
a
number
of
times
in
the
study
sessions.
There
are
there's
a
new
position
in
I.t
there's
a
new
position
in
ordinance.
I
Okay,
then
there's
also
five
positions
within
the
dpw
that
are
open
and
there
were
seven
in
the
police
department
and
three
in
the
fire
department
that
are
in
there
that
are
open.
That's
what
accounts
for
the
million
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
that
you're
referencing
and
again,
that's
all
been
discussed
with
council.
H
H
A
A
H
D
H
A
I
D
C
D
D
H
H
I
So
the
budget
accounts
for
those
step
increases
because
underneath
the
contracts
those
employees
are
entitled
to
those
step
increases.
So
we
appropriated
we're
recommending
an
appropriation
to
the
council
and
those
are
estimated
to
be
one
million
point
zero
one:
five,
one
million
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
H
A
A
And
that's
what
I'm
saying
we
did
address
those
during
the
council
meeting,
because
I'm
gonna
type,
my
personal
preference,
instead
of
addressing
them
to
you
specifically
one
by
one
to
emailing
you
back
hypothetically,
we
addressed
them
during
the
council,
not
council,
meeting
during
the
study
session.
So
this
way
anybody
in
the
audience
has.
A
Q
Just
so
you
all
know
I
I
did
track
all
of
your
requests
and
the
date
of
when
they
were
resolved.
I
believe
that
mr
abdelhax,
again,
his
list
was
very
vast,
so
it
was
answered
in
various
meetings,
including
422,
419
and
428..
So
those
were
the
meetings.
H
A
C
N
I
mean
again:
that's
why
we
have
these
public
hearings.
We
go
through
it
item
by
item.
This
is
ridiculous.
We
have
to
go
back
and
we
have
to
address
each
one
as
we,
as
the
chief
of
staff,
already
mentioned.
What
meetings
all
you
have
to
do
is
go
to
these
meetings
that
she
references
and
you
can.
You
can
get
all
your
answers
right
there
so
now
to
waste
another.
You
know
his
time
to
go
back
and
recreate
everything
that
he
mentioned.
It's
it's.
You
know
it's
a
waste
of
time.
N
We
still
have
to
finish
this
budget.
We
have
an
audit
that
we
have
we're
preparing
for
right
now,
there's
no
time
and,
as
you
know,
he's
going
to
be
in
less
than
a
month,
and
you
know
we
still
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so.
Go
back
to
these
meetings
that
we
had
as
reference
and
you
can
see
all
the
questions
were
answered
in
these
meetings.
I
was
there.
Everybody
in
the
council
was
here,
but
now
everybody's
asking
that
question
was
here:
that's
not
our
problem,
so
whoever
is
asking
their
questions.
A
C
D
A
H
H
H
A
M
C
A
A
I
would
like
to
ask
controller
if
he
could
provide
that.
I
think
it
would
be
in
my
opinion,
if
you
provide
them
with
one
or
two
sentences.
Yes,
they
have
access
to
it
via
video
or
or
being
here,
but
I
think
for
the
time
the
resident
spends
putting
these
questions
together.
I
think
it's
okay
to
give
them
one
or
two
sentence
answers.
It
would
take
us
10-15
minutes.
Somebody
like
dave
shabu,
who
does
this
24-7
would
be
able
to
knock
this
top,
probably
in
10-15
minutes.
D
I
also
wanted
to
say
council
chair,
that's
okay,
but,
mr
heck,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
vague
answers,
but
if
I
think,
if
you
want
to
get
the
dates
from
marianna,
just
take
those
dates
down,
skim.
H
F
Okay,
it
was
mentioned
by
the
comptroller
that
the
step
program-
just
let
people
know
this-
this
step
program,
it's
it's
part
of
your
contract
or
where
first
four
or
five
years
you
get
a
pay
raise.
It's
figured
in
how
many
do
you
have
any
idea?
How
many
people
are
in
this
program
in
this
budget.
I
Like
I
said,
I'd
have
to
look,
I
don't
want
to.
I
don't
want
to
throw
out
a
number.
It's
across
all
departments,
all
all
units
there's
there
there
are.
There
are
a
few.
F
C
F
A
K
K
K
K
K
I
Okay,
page
six,
I
would
be
the
one
of
them
would
be:
101
0,
000,
608,
0
000.
Those
aren't
it's
that's
part
of
it
and
there
is.
I
O
F
I
K
I
Mr
sheriff,
I
may
okay,
the
software
we
talked
about
this
last
meeting.
You
had
asked
for
that.
Okay,
so
what
ends
up
happening
here
is
the
software,
the
bsna
software.
First
of
all,
the
resolution,
that's
in
front
of
you
as
part
of
your
package,
is
what
you'll
be
approving
and
that
support
that
is
supported
by
the
90
pages
of
of
budgets.
Budget
pages
that
we
went
through
the
bsna
software
will
not
allow
to
color
the
line
item.
As
we
had
spoken
about.
That's
just
it's
a
physical
impossibility.
I
The
only
thing
I
can
do
is
highlight
the
line
items
that
were
adjusted
through
our
discussions
with
the
yellow
marker
and
when
they
go
up
to
we
put
it
up
there,
you
can
see
what
lineups
were
adjusted.
Also,
please
know
in
your
communications.
We
give
you
a
summary
of
the
net
changes
in
revenue
and
expenses
in
your
communication,
so
there
were,
after
all,
changes
were
made.
I
There
were
six
hundred
ninety
five
thousand
in
net
operating
revenue
adjustments,
and
that
was
a
reduction
and
on
the
expense
side
there
was
a
total
increase
of
266
000
in
appropriation,
increases
across
the
board.
I
No
in
my
letter
to
the
council,
david,
which
is
may
10
2022,
which
was
on
this
agenda,
so
there
was
approximately
net
net
net
695
000
in
revenue
reductions
and
an
additional
266
000
and
expenditure
increases.
So
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
took
almost
a
million
dollar
hit
in
adjustments.
Okay,.
K
F
Thank
you
mike
council
chair.
Yes,
quick
follow-up
on
mr
mackey,
the
the
line
item
for
the
cell
towers.
What
what
was
the
the
final
figure
for
that
you
got
it
right
there.
F
000
now
those
are
for
cell
towers.
What
about
you
know?
For
years
we
debated,
or
we
talked
about
the
5g
antennas
going
up
and-
and
I
was
a
big
big
opponent
on
those
and
ironically,
they
just
put
one
up
yesterday-
100
feet
from
my
front
door
and
do
we
get
revenue
from
them
5g
antennas,
and
you
know
if
so
they
put
one
up
in
the
city
every
day,
how's
that
regulated.
Do
we
get
money
for
those?
F
I
That
number
was
given
to
us
from
from
the
director
from
engineering
and
building,
and
we
went
through
those
to
ensure
that
we
had
a
good
number.
F
I
F
Is
that
I
mean
is
that
the
100
and
whatever
I
kept
186
000,
is
that
including
normal
cell
tower
rental
fees
that
we
have
existing
already?
That's.
A
Right
on
zoom,
we
looks
like
we
have
two
hands
up.
Is
that
correct?
So,
madame
clerk,
can
you
let
somebody
on.
S
A
S
Yeah,
okay,
so
one
of
the
responses
to
a
lot
of
these
questions
has
been
that
we
can
do
budget
amendments
and
I
don't
think
we
need
to
be
like
accountants
or
controllers
to
understand
that
budget
amendments
are
great
because
things
come
up
that
you
can't
plan
for,
but
I
think
that
it
shouldn't
be
used
as
a
response
to
legitimate
questions
about
outstanding
issues.
So
we
know
about
the
pending
contract
negotiations,
the
possible
election
cost
increase
and
whatever
else
was
cut
from
the
budget.
S
S
S
For
those
of
us
who
are
attending
via
zoom
all
right
last,
I
want
to
know.
Are
we
able
to
see
the
original
budgets
that
were
submitted
by
each
department
prior
to
the
changes
that
were
made
to
the
one
that
was
posted
publicly?
I
am
personally
interested
in
that
information.
Then.
I
have
two
separate
comments
that
are
not
related.
A
A
A
Points,
thank
you.
Leslie
appreciate
it.
I
can
answer
you
the
first
one
regards
the
recreation
department,
other
department.
If
they
got
what
they
asked
for,
I
tell
you
every
based
on
our
all
of
our
conversations.
A
So
as
the
comptroller
and
administration
mentioned,
you
know,
people
came
up
with
a
lot
of
their
wants
and
needs,
and
there
was
you
know:
10
20,
30
40,
whatever
it
happens
to
be,
and
then
when
they
negotiated
back
and
forth
with
administration,
then
they
came
to
an
agreement
as
far
as
what
they're
going
to
bring
forward
for
us
as
council
members
to
give
final
approval
or
disapproval
of
so.
If
you're
asking
your
question
was:
did
they
get
everything
they
initially
asked
for?
More
than
likely
not
including
with
kim
lauren
sells?
A
We
had
her
during
one
of
the
budget
meetings
and
I
know
for
a
fact
she
didn't
get
everything
she
asked
for
some
things
with
her
and
other
department.
Members
had
to
be
bumped
off
to
you
know
the
next
year,
or
maybe
two
or
three,
as
we
have
funds
available
to
be
able
to
meet
a
lot
of
the
needs
and
wants.
Was
there
any
other
answers
you
needed
to
give
to
comptroller.
I
Mr
chair,
you
covered
the
ground.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
Mr
hussein,
are
you
able
to,
and
by
the
way,
madam
clerk?
I
think
it's
an
excellent
idea
by
leslie.
I
thought
this
was
a
more
fair
way
for
people
that
came
in
person
to
have
them
go
first,
but
you
know
what
we.
B
A
J
E
E
Okay,
I
got
a
question
for
councilman
one.
So
if
you
don't
mind,
please
god
we
had
several
budget
meetings
throughout
this
whole
session
right
now
and
unfortunately
he
only
showed
up
to
few
of
them
and
now,
during
the
last
meeting,
he
decided
to
question
items
that
were
previously
presented.
People
discussed
few
fears
at
all
I
mean
is
that
is
there
any
explanation
for
from
him?
E
A
A
E
A
F
Yeah
sure
I
I
the
first
few
meetings
I
was
out
of
town,
but
I
did
attend
all
the
meetings
when
I
was
out
through
zoom
I
was,
I
did
didn't
I
most
of
them.
I
was
yeah.
I
was
on
every
meeting
and
on
zoom,
but
the
the
few,
the
the
the
two
or
three
that
I
didn't
attend.
F
F
E
F
E
Well,
if
you
voiced
your
opinion,
got
councilman
winslow.
I
believe
we
had
a
lot
of
discussion
and
I
brought
forward
to
you
a
lot
of
points
that
yes,
some
people
in
the
city
do
deserve
raise,
who
are
working
super
hard,
but
honestly,
I'm
not
in
favor
for
asking
for
sp
for
raises
for
just
union
worker,
and
I
believe
we
had
the
discussion
before.
E
I
even
brought
it
up
to
the
council
to
the
council
meeting
before
and
I'll
repeat
myself
again,
it's
real
bad
to
use
personal
things
on
behalf
of
the
resident
and
it's
real
bad
as
a
council
member
to
be
spreading
bad
rumors
about
siri
entities
to
a
lot
of
residents,
and
I
hope
you
understand
what
I'm
talking
about.
If
you
would
like
to
clarify
more,
you
got
my
number,
you
may
call
me
and
we
can
have
another
conversation
as
well.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
You
know
I
I
I
was
elected
to
represent
the
residents
of
dearborn
heights
and
every
decision
I
make
is
on
their
behalf
to
to
do
what
I
think
is
best
for
them.
I
don't
have
any
agendas.
I've
been
accused
of
having
agenda.
The
only
agenda
I
have
is
to
be
fair
and
if
that's
not
what
people
think
I
should
be
doing
then
sorry
that
that's
what
I'm
here
for
I
want
to
be
fair
and
I
I
back
the
administration
on
many
many
things.
F
I've
got
the
right
to
have
my
opinion
and
the
fight
for
what
I
think
is
right.
Anybody
that
thinks.
Otherwise,
I
don't
care
about
you.
Then
I've
got
my
opinion
and
everyone
has
their
opinions.
I
never
objected
to
anyone
making
opinions
about
me
making
comments
about
me.
I
really
don't
care.
I
never
have
about
what
people
think
about
me,
except
for
the
voters
and
it
shows
on
election
day.
Thank
you.
