Description
The Dearborn Heights City Council Meeting taking place Tuesday, April 23rd 2019.
A
C
C
Well,
let
the
record
reflect
that
councilman,
Abdullah
and
I
are
here.
The
meeting
was
originally
scheduled
for
today
there
were
a
series
of
emails
and
text
messages
sent
out
and
that
who
was
going
to
be
available
who
was
not
available,
but
the
procedure
is
under
the
Charter
as
I
read
it
and
as
other
people
have
read
it
as
the
chair
should
be
here,
and
the
city
clerk
and
I
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
then
adjourn
the
meeting,
because
the
quorum
is
not
available
and
it's
it's
not
possible
for
that
to
happen
tonight.
B
Acting
chair
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
unfortunate
that
the
City
Council
majority
has
chosen
that
to
meet
at
the
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting
tonight.
This
has
never
happened
before
in
my
tenure
as
a
mayor
nor
as
a
council
member
I,
even
remember,
holding
a
or
a
city
council
meeting
in
the
hallway
when
all
the
lights
and
the
electricity
was
out
due
to
a
storm
I
strongly
believe
this
is
not
coincidental
that
four
members
could
not
be
here
tonight.
B
A
Would
be
my
opinion
as
well
it's
supposed
to
take
place
at
the
next
regular
meeting.
This
is
the
next
regular
meeting.
There
is
not
a
provision
if
I
may
to
say
that
you
can
cancel
a
meeting
prospectively
section
six
point:
four
of
the
city
charter
states,
Section,
six
point
for
regular
meetings
of
the
council.
The
council
shall
meet
not
less
than
twice
each
month
in
the
council
chambers
at
times
and
dates
to
be
determined
by
the
council
at
the
first
meeting
thereof,
the
regular
city
election
in
April,
which
we
haven't
been
doing
in
that
way.
A
But
in
the
absence
of
a
quorum,
two
or
less
members
may
adjourn
any
regular
or
special
meeting
to
a
later
date.
So
this
situation
is
provided
for
in
the
Charter
and
because
it's
expressly
provided
for
the
mention
of
what
is
to
be
done.
If
there
is
a
lack
of
quorum,
is
what
we
need
to
end
up
doing.
In
other
words,
one
might
say
gee.
We
can't
have
a
meeting
for
whatever
the
reason
might
be,
but
because
the
Charter
expressly
addresses
what
is
supposed
to
be
done.
If
there
is
a
lack
of
quorum.
C
A
Your
motion,
whether
that
was
adopted
at
the
beginning
of
the
of
the
year
to
set
the
schedule
I
mean
if
it
had
ended
up
changing
something
differently
or
sutter's,
going
to
be
on
Wednesday
as
opposed
to
a
Tuesday
because
of
an
election
or
so
forth.
That
could
have
also
have
have
ended
up
being
done.
But
the
point
is:
is
that
this
body,
the
City
Council,
is
the
only
body
that
has
the
authority
to
change
that
schedule.
A
Otherwise
everyone
shows
up,
if
there's
a
lack
of
quorum,
then
at
that
point
there
can
end
up
being
and
the
German,
but
it
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
this
is
still
the
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting
and
it
still
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
it
was
not
and
he
handled
the
way
it
was
supposed
to
be
him.
Remember.
C
A
At
this
at
this
time,
they're
next
up
for
the
Charter,
the
only
business
they
can
trim
transact
is
to
as
to
move
to
adjourn
so
no
motion
by
one
second
by
the
other,
and
then
they
would
have
a
vote
to
adjourn.
They
could
entertain
further
comments
if
they
wish
to,
but
they
could
not
end
up
taking
any
business
because
there
is
not
a
quorum
for
business
that
exists.
I
thought
my
comments
from
the
residents.
