From YouTube: 3/21/23 - Dearborn Heights Study Session
Description
The Dearborn Heights Study Session for the ARPA Survey Results & Updates taking place Tuesday, March 21st 2023 in the Dearborn Heights Council Chambers and via Zoom.
A
A
For
those
that
are
not
familiar
with
us,
just
in
case
the
city
particular
surveys
throughout
the
city
to
try
to
figure
out
what
different
residents
felt
about
as
far
as
our
fun,
how
the
money
is
going
to
be
spent
and
what
their
recommendations
are,
what
things
that
they
are
concerned
about
throughout
the
city,
those
who
will
be
looked
at
by
the
city,
Administration,
slash,
Council,
but
then
from
there.
It
will
be
determined
as
far
as
which
direction
we're
going
to
go
as
far
as
the
money
that
will
be
potentially.
C
All
right,
so
just
a
quick
introduction
of,
as
just
mentioned,
we're
with
bln
we're
hired
back
in
October
November
to
work
with
the
city
to
assist
with
looking
at
how
best
to
utilize
the
arpa
funds.
So
just
quick
background
of
myself
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
already,
my
name
is
Halle
stefanski,
my
background's
in
public
accounting,
I'm,
a
licensed
CPA
and
my
kind
of
specialty
has
been
a
Federal
grant,
compliance
and
management.
So
that's
that's
my
realm.
C
D
Yep
and
so
Lindsay
stefanski
and
my
background
is
really
focused
on
that
community
outreach
and
engagement
component,
especially
in
the
higher
education
realm,
and
so
I've
been
doing
that
for
over
10
years,
and
so
that's
why
this
felt
like
a
really
good
match
and
I've
really
enjoyed
doing
some
of
the
marketing
pieces.
That
you'll
see
in
the
survey
or
in
the
report.
D
So
that's
going
to
include
an
executive
summary
just
a
background
about
the
use
of
funds,
as
it
relates
to
arpa,
specifically
promoting
Equitable
outcomes
and
that
focuses
on
the
final
rule
from
the
treasury,
stakeholder
engagement
components
so
including
departmental
feedback,
Community
survey
summary
and
then
also
the
data
that
we
received
as
a
result
of
the
public
art
of
forums.
We
have
the
project
inventory,
so
we
compiled
all
of
the
different.
D
The
city's
been
working
very
hard
on
kind
of
getting
all
of
those
pieces
in
one
place
to
see
how
to
best,
you
know
best
utilize,
the
arpa
funding
specifically
and
seeing
where
those
gaps
could
be
filled,
otherwise
to
fulfill
the
most
of
those
projects
from
the
project
inventory,
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
planned
utilization
and
priority
projects
that
have
been
identified.
As
a
result
of
the
data
we've
collected
and
a
recommendation
summary.
D
So
the
executive
summary:
that's
just
really
talking
a
lot
about
arpa
itself,
what
it
is,
what
the
the
stimulus
Bill
included
in
terms
of
some
specific
Financial
figures,
as
it
relates
to
the
city
of
Dearborn
and
then
also
more
broadly
and
so
specific
components
of
arba
and
especially
in
dollar,
amounts.
Yeah.
C
Specific
to
the
city,
the
the
component
of
the
arpa
funds.
Obviously
you
know
arpa
itself
was
huge
1.9
trillion
dollars.
The
the
part
of
arpa
that
the
city
actually
received
that
we're
talking
about
today
is
specific
to
the
coronavirus,
state
and
local
fiscal
recovery
funds.
So
I
know
that's
it's
kind
of
a
long
term,
but
that's
really
what
we're
focused
on
today
and
the
city
received
you
guys
received
just
over
about
24.3
million
and
we'll
go.
C
D
Okay
and
so
the
use
of
fun
page
if
anybody
was
at
the
community
forums,
we
went
over
those
in
great
detail,
so
those
five
different
buckets
or
those
expenditure
categories,
suppose
how
talking
and
those
are
going
to
see
those
throughout
the
report.
So
this
is
kind
of
this
kind
of
a
definition
in
the
Forefront
of
the
report
so
that
we
were
able
to
kind
of
suss
out
what
all
of
those
terms
mean
throughout
the
rest
of
it.
So
talking
about
public
sector,
Revenue
replacement,
essential
worker
premium,
pay
compensation,
Broadband
connectivity,
water,
I'm,
sorry.
A
D
C
So,
within
those
five
categories
that
were
kind
of
layered,
underneath
those
those
are
the
the
broad
allowable
uses
of
the
funds.
So
within
that
there
are
specific
rules.
I'm,
sorry,
sorry,
our
allergies
are
both
terrible
too,
so
our
voices
are
are
terrible,
not
great
shape
right
now,
so
under
underneath
those
broad
allowable
categories
that
Lindsay
just
mentioned
those
five
areas.
There
are
specific
rules
that
apply
to
each
one
of
those.
C
So
as
just
an
example
under
the
premium
pay
for
essential
workers,
their
stipulations
as
to
which
which
groups
of
employees
are
eligible
for
that
or
under
those
rules,
and
then
how
to
distribute
dollar
amounts
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
a
big
component
of
what's
what's
referred
to
as
the
final
rule,
which
really
stipulates
all
of
the
the
nitty
and
gritty
compliance
stuff
that
I
won't
worry
with,
but
but
are
very
important
to
the
use
of
the
funds.
The
big
focus
on
on
these
arpa
funds
was
Equitable
use.
C
So
that's
why
there's
stipulations
within
there
that
have
to
be
demonstrated
when
using
the
funds
that
you're
that
you're
following
those
things
within
the
rules?
So
that's
also
a
component
of
what
we've
been
assessing
and
looking
at
with
the
city,
along
as
we're
going
through
the
process
of
determining
best
utilization
for
those.
C
C
So
we
had
several
meetings
over
the
course
of
January
into
February
met
with
met
with
a
lot
of
different
different
departments
and
collected
their
feedback
in
terms
of
what
they,
what
they
felt
was
the
most
critical
important
needs
to
them,
based
on
their
own
experience
with
within
their
Department.
You
know
one
of
one
of
the
things
we've
mentioned.
C
If
again,
if
any
of
you
attended
the
forums
we
expanded
on
this
a
bit
more,
but
the
funds
are
obviously
it's
great
that
you're
getting
them,
but
there
is
not
an
endless
amount
of
them
so
part
of
it.
A
big
part
of
this
has
been
narrowing
down
the
focus
and
really
identifying
what
the
critical
needs
have
been.
So
a
big
component
of
that
was
meeting
meeting
with
City
officials
to
get
a
better
understanding,
so
we're
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
those.
D
All
right,
so
that
brings
us
to
what
I
think
everyone's
most
eager
to
hear
about,
so
we
did
send
out.
We
created
a
survey
and
then,
with
the
help
of
the
city,
distributed
that
survey
on
their
website
and
then
in
a
couple
of
other
mediums
and
talked
a
lot
about
that.
I
think
we
mentioned
that
at
the
forums
quite
a
bit
and
so
wanting
to
give
just
a
summary
of
the
data
that
was
collected
from
the
city
survey.
D
So
Jen
just
point
to
that
survey
was
open
from
January,
2nd
and
through
February
28th,
and
it
asks
all
of
the
respondents
to
rank
those
expenditure
categories
that
we
just
touched
on.
So
of
those
five.
What
they
felt
was
the
highest
priority
and
what
you
know
down
to
the
lowest
priority,
and
then
it
also
captured
some
demographic
information.
Again
Holly
mentioned
some
of
that.
The
component
of
the
final
rule
is
really
focusing
on
some
different.
D
You
know
making
sure
that
the
the
money
is
well
spent
in
some
of
the
underserved
populations,
so
wanting
to
make
sure
that
our
our
our
survey
was
capturing.
Some
of
that
data
too,
to
see
who
we
were
able
to
reach,
and
so
some
of
the
data
collected
includes
gender
age,
education,
ethnicity
and
affiliation
with
the
city,
and
so
all
in
all
the
survey
online
yielded
150
through
responses,
and
then
there
were
an
additional
38
print
surveys
that
were
collected.
E
E
D
So
I'll
just
go
back
over
those
slowly,
so
I
know
you
all
are
writing
those
down
too
so
the
lowest
priority,
Broadband
connectivity,
second
lowest
public
sector
Revenue
replacement
in
the
middle,
essential
worker
premium,
pay
compensation,
and
then,
after
that,
one
public,
health
and
well-being
and
the
highest
priority.
Water
and
Sewer
infrastructure.
D
Okay
and
so,
in
addition
to
asking
respondents
to
rank
those
categories
in
order
of
priority,
we
also
had
an
open-ended
question
where
folks
could
submit
comments
or
even
specific
ideas
about
what
they
would
want.
Those
funds
to
be
used
for,
and
so
all
of
those
are
listed
in
the
packet
that
you'll
get
to.
D
There
were
62
comments
in
total,
so
we
went
through
and
coded
those
by
if
they
were
eligible
in
one
of
those
arpa
eligible
spending
spending
categories
and
then
some
you'll
see
are
designated
as
other
meaning
that
they
really
didn't
necessarily
fit
into
one
of
those
arpa
buckets.
So,
for
example,
you
know
lowering
taxes
in
some
cases
might
not
be
used,
and
you
know,
and
within
those
art
book
confined
spaces.
F
F
C
D
H
Number
two
yeah
I
wasn't
able
to
attend
any
of
the
presentations
you
guys
gave,
but
I
watched
some
online
and
no
one
seemed
to
be
able
to
answer
this
question
which
employees
are
eligible
and
which
aren't
for
this.
You
had
that
broken
down
somewhere
or
how
do
we
find
out?
You
know
if
our
just
say,
Parks
and
Recreation
people,
or
you
know
our
library
people-
are
they
eligible
for
something
that
yeah.
C
C
I
know
there's
the
interim
final
rule
actually
defines
what
an
essential
worker
is
and
that's
as
a
worker
working
in
work
involved.
Regular
and
in-person
interactions,
physically
handling
of
items
that
are
also
handed
by
others.
So
essentially,
what
they're
saying
is
that
an
essential
worker
has
to
be
in
person,
so
it
essentially,
if
you're,
working
remotely
during
that
time
period
or
I'm
working
remotely.
Now
you
wouldn't
be
eligible
to
receive
the
funds.
That's
that's
really
the
main
the
critical
point.
C
H
C
Yeah,
that's
really
the
administration
would
be
looking
at
and
that's
when
we
get
to
the
recommendations.
I'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
too.
That's
that's
really
one
of
our
next
next
things
that
that
we're
really
pushing
the
city
itself
to
focus
on
is
or
encouraging
them
to
take
the
next
Deep
dive.
You
know
we've
already
kind
of
established
that
that's
you
know
in
the
feedback
we've
gotten.
C
That
was
definitely
one
of
the
one
of
the
main
things
that
was
focused
on
so
the
next
step
after
that
would
really
be
saying:
okay,
here's
the
population;
now,
here's
all
of
our
employees.
How
can
we
utilize
the
data
that
we
have
to
figure
out
who's
eligible
and
really
come
up
with
dollar
amounts?
So
that's
that
it's
the
next
step
could.
H
C
And,
broadly
speaking,
fire
would
be
I'd
have
to
it
really
would
depend
on
the
exact
circumstance
and
circumstances
of
the
different
groups.
So,
broadly
speaking,
yes,
but
again,
there's
thresholds
like,
for
example,
the
it's
150
percent
of
the
low
to
medium
income
threshold,
so,
depending
on
the
wages
of
that
individual
is
actually
earning,
would
stipulate
whether
or
not
a
specific
individual
is
eligible.
H
C
Possible
yeah,
depending
on
the
circumstances
and
yeah
when
they
were
employed.
What
what
their
you
know
if
they're
doing
the
exact
same
thing,
it's
probably
pretty
pretty
Baseline
and
you're
just
looking
at
a
couple
components,
but
if
they
were
here
at
different
periods,
so
it's
really
diving
into
the
next
detail.
You
know
next
level
beyond
that
would
really
determine
specific
eligibility.
D
Okay,
so
just
to
round
out
that
part
about
the
comments
received,
I
also
just
took
a
look
and
separated
those
into
or
kind
of
coded
those
into
different
categories.
Those
five
categories,
the
expenditure
categories
as
well
and
the
again
we
saw
that
the
highest
priority
was
the
water
and
sewer
infrastructure.
So
consistent
with
the
other
survey
results
in
terms
of
demographic
data,
again
I'll,
this
is
going
to
be
included
in
reports
we
receive
so
just
go
through.
Some
of
these
majority
of
the
survey
takers
were
females.
D
H
D
D
E
C
So
one
of
those
forums
was
held
here
and
one
of
them
was
held
over
Justice
at
the
Joshua
Center
yeah.
So
there
were
16
attendees
here
nine
at
the
Justice
Center.
You
know
had
good
good
dialogue,
good
conversations,
so
if
I
believe
those
were
still
posted
out
on
the
website.
So
if,
if
any
of
you
are
interested
in
yeah.
A
A
You
know
I
realize,
of
course,
whatever
it
is
that
you
find
in
the
surveys
is
not
to
end
all
be
all
as
far
as
which
direction
the
city
will
go
as
far
as
where
the
expenditures
will
go,
but
nevertheless,
I
I
would
have
hoped
that
we
would
have
had
a
much
better
sample
again
I'm,
not
necessarily
blaming
you
I'm,
just
concerned
about
making
a
city
decision
on
behalf
of
63
000
residents
based
on
191
survey
sample
size,
which
I
consider
honestly
quite
small.
Obviously,.
C
I
But,
and
quickly
to
this
point,
I
probably
got
the
most
government
experience
here,
both
here
and
at
the
state
level
and
that's
how
it
goes.
I
have
a
good
friend
that
works
for
the
census
and
then
my
sister
in
New
York,
oh
my
God
has
worked
for
the
census.
It's
not
hard
to
get
people
it's
impossible.
I
J
C
A
But
what
I
found
one
of
the
issues
or
challenges
were
and
really
more
for
your
company,
not
so
much
yourself.
That
was
something
wrong,
but
I
think
one
of
the
challenges
is
and
I
founded.
My
informal
survey,
just
amongst
my
circles,
is
a
lot
of
people.
When
you
say
you
do
a
survey
on
how
we're
going
to
spend
arpa
funds
I.
Think
if
you
surveyed
100
people
you'd
be
lucky.
If
you
exclude
politicians,
you'd
be
lucky
to
get
maybe
five
percent.
A
C
C
C
I
agree:
I
think
that
probably
Strays
people
away
and
that's
you
know
we
other
cities
that
we've
that
we've
researched
with
and
worked
with
to
have
had
similar
issues.
You
know
that's
why
we
try
to
try
to
get
to
get
information
out
there
as
best
as
possible
post.
The
information
on
the
website
try
to
try
to
keep
it,
succinct
and
basic
enough
to
where
it
keeps
people's
interests
and
attention,
but
at
least
gives
them
the
information,
but.
C
I
Thank
you
and
quickly,
and
and
it's
not
a
perfect
system,
but
the
idea
is,
unlike
the
census,
which
gathers
data
and
I
have
to
do
it.
Every
10
years
is
to
prevent
you
know
like
certain
politicians,
from
directing
everything
towards
a
particular
project,
a
big
cement
project
where
their
friend
owns
the
cement
company.
I
I
The
shovel
ready
projects
under
President
Obama
I
was
up
in
Lansing
every
I'm,
a
lawyer.
Every
lawyer
had
his
own.
You
know
practice
for
three
thousand
dollars
an
hour:
how
to
qualify
for
the
shovel
ready
money
from
and
those
requirements
were
impossible.
So
we
could
have
put
up.
We
could
have
added
on
to
our
Recreation
Center,
which
is
in
the
south
end,
but
it's
got
everything
but
a
pool,
but
we
couldn't
use
the
money
for
a
pool.
I
D
C
All
right
so
then,
starting
on
page
28.
This
is
a
compilation
of
all
of
the
essentially
comprehensive
list
of
potential
projects
that
was
compiled
based
on
both
Community
feedback
or
comments
within
Community
feedback,
as
well
as
those
discussions
that
we
had
with
the
different
City
Department.
So
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
it
in
detail,
but
that
just
lists
out
really
everything
that
fell,
that
that
came
under
consideration
from
all
the
feedback
that
we
got
right.
C
So
following
that
and
starting
on
page
20
or
31
potential
projects,
funding
sources
external
to
arpa.
So,
as
we
mentioned
at
the
at
the
public
forums
and
and
previously
today,
the
there
are
other
other
sources
out
there,
so
part
of
what
we're.
What
we're
assisting
the
city
with
doing
is
really
looking
at
okay.
Here's
here
are
all
the
needs
and
wants
that
that
have
been
brought
to
our
brought
to
your
attention
and
how
do
we?
C
How
do
we
take
that
list
and
then
really
narrow
it
down,
so
that
we're
utilizing
arpa
within
the
required
time
frame
and
so
that
we're
not
using
it
in
place
of
potential
other
funding
that's
available
so
highest
and
best
use
of
the
funds
is
really
the
goal
here
and
being
you
know,
physically
cognizant
of
of
how
to
how
to
utilize
it
to
the
to
the
fullest
extent.
So
part
of
it
is
the
challenge.
Is
that
a
lot
of
these
other
funding
sources,
their
timelines
for
applications?
C
It's
more
just
high-level
informational,
here's,
here's
what's
out
there
and
let's
look
at
it
and
figure
out.
If
there's
things
on
the
list
that
could
potentially
be
funded
with
one
of
these
other
sources
and
essentially
trying
to
give
everybody
the
information
so
that
they
have
have
all
of
that
available
for
making
decision
on
what
to
spend
our
bun.
F
C
We
just
compiled
it
from
different,
so
different
components.
City
gave
us
a
lot
of
the
cost
information.
A
lot
of
it
was
just
put
to
put
together
based
on
the
feedback
that
we
got
from
either
the
comments
that
are
in
the
surveys
that
are
included
in
there
or
the
meetings
that
we
had
with
the
department
so
really
a
comprehensive
summary
of
the
stuff.
That's
on
the
pages
previous
to
that
table.
A
And
put
it
all
in
a
list,
I'll
put
it
that
way.
Survey.
So,
once
we
get
the
results,
we're
able
to
look
at
it
and
determine
us
as
far
as
which
direction
as
positive
spending
that's
going
to
be
done
in
this
city,
so
it's
not
mandated
that
we
have
to
go
through
any
of
these
at
all.
It
just
gives
us
an
idea.
A
lot
of
residents.
C
C
So
that
last
column
on
the
on
the
right
hand,
side
their
potential
expenditure
Arbor
category-
that
is
intended
to
say,
okay
and
again,
this
kind
of
goes
back
into
for
each
one
of
these.
In
order
to
really
dive
down
into.
Can
we
submit
this
and
get
reimbursed
without
any
questions
asked
later
when
there's
compliance
reviews
in
order
to
do
that,
we
would
have
to
go
through
detailed
examinations
of
every
single
one
of
these
and
have
a
lot
more
data.
C
So
before
doing
that,
we
are
just
broadly
saying:
okay,
would
this
fall
under
one
of
the
five
categories
broadly
in
nature?
Does
it
even
make
sense
to
go
to
the
next
level
in
terms
of
determining
whether
or
not
it's
allowable
and
eligible
City
Hall
is,
would
fall
under
public
sector
Revenue
replacement
in
the
only
category
that
it
would
be
eligible
so
that
category?
C
To
give
you
a
little
bit
more
background
on
on
that
component,
is
really
meant
to
earmark
specific,
specific
sorry
specific
amount
of
your
award
for
unrestricted
uses,
which
means,
when
you're
doing
your
reporting,
you
don't
have
to
identify
specific
expenditures
that
you
spend
it
on
it's
just.
It's
really
going
into
your
fund
balance,
so
it's
and
it's
up
to
the
city
whether
or
not
they
would
want
to
your
mark
those
funds
for
something
specific
or.
C
C
So
it
which
is
you
know
if
you
were
to
look
at
everything
and
broadly
broad
new
replacement,
is
the
most
favorable
because
there's
the
least
amount
of
restriction
right,
so
the
more
the
better
so
and
the
city
did
work
with
I
believe
plant
Moran
to
do
to
look
at
the
calculations,
it's
kind
of
a
rolling
calculation
because
it
depends
on
you
have
to
do
by
fiscal
year
and
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
it.
So
it's
not!
C
Where,
where
the
city
landed,
is
the
10
million,
but
they
also
did
a
calculation
to
make
sure
that
that
was
in
line
with.
Would
we
be
eligible
to
get
more?
If
we,
you
know
estimated
things
correctly
and
and
really
used
option
A
instead
of
option
b,
option
b
being
the
10
million
dollar,
you
know
here
you
can
you
can
use
this
money
for
Revenue
replacement
without
having
to
do
the
calculation,
so
so.
A
Keep
keep
in
mind
councilman
that
this
is
obviously
a
survey
from
a
lot
of
the
residents
and
then
they've
also
checked
with
all
the
directors
and
mayor
Etc,
but
you
also
yourself
can
have,
of
course
input
into
this
as
long
as
obviously
there's
agreement
amongst
the
council
members,
that's
the
direction
we
go.
So
if
hypothetically
Within
These
compartments
I'm
just
using
a
hypothetical
football
field,
you
know-
and
you
felt
that
you
know
City
should
have
one
it's
within
those
compartments.
A
H
M
C
C
N
C
So
this
does
include
about
2.2
million
that
was
related
to
the
20
2020
2021
fiscal
year,
which
was
utilized
in
this
past
fiscal
year,
2122
for
General
operations,
which
is
also
the
intent
in
which
the
city
plans
to
utilize,
the
remaining
7.8
million
allowable
under
the
revenue
replacement
category
for
General
operations
during
22
and
23.,
and
really
what
just
a
little
bit
more
background
on.
What
that's
doing
is
saying.
Okay,
there
was
a
ton
of.
A
That
question
I
I
know
at
this
particular
point.
This
is
a
one
and
done
as
far
as
the
government.
You
know,
resources
that
have
been
brought
to
us
specifically
arpa.
What
are
the
chances
of
this
happening
in
you
know?
I
realized,
of
course,
obviously
covert
is
way
less
Etc
et
cetera.
But
what
are
the
chances
of
something
like
this
coming
in
again
next
year?
Additional
funds.
F
F
F
F
I'm,
just
gonna
reiterate
some
of
these
questions.
I
I
know
our
roads
and
Dearborn,
Heights
and
I
know
I
already
brought
this
up.
You
know
generally,
if
we
can
get
some
of
this
to
kind
of
repave
some
of
the
streets
in
Deer
when
I.
That's
my
number
one
thing
and
my
number
two
thing
and
I
would
say
this
to
this
body:
the
administration
and
everybody
else.
The
South
End
continues
to
flood
and
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
e-course
Creek.
F
You
know
we
would
be
you
know
and
I
know
what's
in
here,
but
I'm
gonna
I
would
be
the
first
person
to
stand
up
and
say
every
single
dollar
she'll
go
to
the
e-course
Creek.
Until
there's
no
more,
you
know
to
mitigate
the
flooding
in
the
cell
phone,
that's
personally
where
I
would
stand,
but,
but
you
know,
if
we
can
kind
of
focus
a
little
bit
on
that
or
if
you
can
give
me
some
more
information
on
that
or
as
far
as
how
much
is
expected.
C
C
A
lot
of
them
are
related,
not
the
same
type
of
money
again
that
long
coronavirus,
blah
blah
blah,
but
other
sources
that
came
out
of
that
1.9
trillion
dollar
package
that
are
different
programs
right,
so
some
of
them
are
specific
to
uses
and
whatnot
some
of
them
a
lot
of
it
got
filtered
through
the
state.
So,
for
example,
the
state
got
a
huge
bucket
of
the
same
funding
right
all
municipalities
did
the
state
then
took
their
funding
and
said?
Okay?
C
How
are
we
going
to
plan
to
use
it
so
from
that
from
that
big
bucket
that
they
got,
then
they
created
programs.
That
said,
okay,
now
we're
going
to
sub-grant
these
funds,
to
municipalities
based
on
X,
Y
and
Z,
and
a
lot
of
those
are
either
competitive,
based
or
formula
based,
so
it
just
and
need
based.
So
it
depends
on
what
the
area
is,
but
so
that
that's
one
of
our
recommendations,
too,
is
which
we
know
the
city
is
already
doing
looking
at
all
of
those
different
other
available
sources.
C
I
I
These
are
someone
said
you
won't
see
this
type
of
money
flowing
in,
but
only
the
Federal
Government
Can
deficit
spend
so
let's
say
a
certain
party,
the
president
gets
elected.
They
want
to
prime
the
pump.
They
want
to
get
the
economy
going,
put
people
to
work.
They
have
programs
like
this
and
federal
money
flows
down
the
the
pipe
all
our
cdbg
money,
the
housing
money
is,
you
know
an
example,
and
it's
great
it's
that's
why
we
a
lot
of
money
in
the
economy.
I
We
had
eight
percent
inflation,
but
you
know
our
city
or
the
state
has
the
highest
pass.
The
balance
budget
federal
government
does
not
and
we're
going
to
see
the
whole
federal
government
shut
down
shortly,
because
now
the
Senate
is
controlled
by
a
party
other
than
the
house
and
the
president
and
they're
already
talking
about
they're
not
going
to
vote
to
raise
the
debt
ceiling
over
another
trillion
dollars
so
yeah
a
little
a
little.
That's
that's
graduate
level
statement
about
go.
C
If
history
repeats
itself
it'll
be
another
100
years
before,
we
see
him
see
another
package
like
this,
but
hope-
hopefully
not
but
okay,
so
then
after
so
that
the
first
part
on
the
second
to
last
page
is
around
34
talks
about
the
placement
stuff.
So,
following
that
there's
the
allocation
of
the
remaining
RPO
funds,
so
the
remaining
about
14.1
million
is
really
what
is
critical
in
assessing
for
the
next
steps
in
terms
of
how
specific
dollar
amounts
and
specific
projects.
C
So
a
key
thing
to
keep
in
mind
are
the
obligation
dates
related
to
these
funds.
Again,
these
are
federal
funds
that
have
strings
attached.
One
of
the
main
criteria
is
that
it
has
to
be
obligated
by
December,
31st
and
liquidated
or
expanded
by
December
sorry,
December,
31st
2024
expanded
liquidated
by
December
31st
2026.
C
So
what
that
really
means
is,
you
have
to
know
and
enter
into
a
contract
no
later
than
December
31st
2024,
and
then
that
has
to
be
completed
by
December
31st
of
2026.,
so
I
might
sound
like
a
really
far
time
away,
but
some
of
the
projects
that
you're
looking
at
and
highly
considering
have
extremely
long
timelines.
In
terms
of
procurement,
I'm
getting
different
quotes,
making
design
and
Engineering
those
types
of
things.
H
C
C
H
A
The
councilman's
asking
the
10
million
there,
basically
is
that
designated
were
10
million
out
of
the
22,
had
to
be
used
for
public
sector
Revenue
replacement,
or
is
that
a
decision
on
behalf
of
administration
to
use
a
10
million
towards
the
public
sector
Revenue?
So?
Is
that
a
percentage
it's
mandated
or
is
that
a
percentage?
The
administration,
slash
city
council
through
approval
decided
to
use
at
that
point,
the
2.2
million,
the
2.2
million.
C
The
10
million
dollars
was
app
should
be,
and
that's
the
standard
allowance
allowed
under
the
final
rule,
so
Revenue
replacement
is
preferable
over
all
of
these
other
categories,
because
it
does
two
things
one.
It
means
you
don't
have
any
restriction
on
reporting.
You
can
use
it
on
whatever
you
want
in
terms
of
operations.
Capital
Improvements,
the
government
expects
no
reporting
back
related
to
those
specific
dollars
of
your
award.
A
A
A
A
A
K
O
A
The
7.8
vote
and
that's
what
I'm
specifically
asking
the
7.8
was
based
on
using
formula
a
or
formula
B,
whatever
one
you
called
it
to
select
10
million
to
go
towards
public
sector
Revenue
I
recognize
that
7.8
million
will
come
back
to
city
council.
For
final
approval
depends
on
where
you
use
it
towards
public
sector
Revenue.
A
O
Was
a
combination
of
studies
so
again
we
had
plant
Moran,
do
the
calculations
or
the
revenue
loss
for
the
past
two
years
that
we've
had
Revenue
loss
on
the
future
is
undetermined,
because
we
don't
know
how
much
our
Revenue
loss
is
going
to
be
this
fiscal
year.
We
don't
know
how
much
our
Revenue
loss
is
going
to
be
next
fiscal
year.
The
numbers
were
pretty
close,
so
you
know
we've
had
2.2
million
each
year.
It's
maybe
going
to
be
2.5
this
year.
If
you
count
to
four,
that's
10
ish
million,
it's
easier.
F
O
O
At
this
point
that
that
is
the
easiest
route,
it
seems
to
be
very
close
again:
we've
done
preliminary
numbers
for
the
past
two
years.
It
seems
that
we're
going
to
come
out
at
a
pretty
even
10
million
dollars,
whether
we
choose
option
A
or
B.
Option
b,
which
is
the
10
million,
is
a
simple
one,
because
it
gives
us
an
exact
amount
of
money
and
we
can
close
the
case
and
move
forward
with
the
other
14
and
the
projects
associated
with
that.
M
H
C
J
Council
chair,
yes,
okay,
I'd,
like
to
get
my
point
on
this
on
the
record
here
and
I
quickly.
Totaled.
The
way
I
would
like
it
spent
and
we're
going
to
be
voting
on
the
28th
I
believe
on
another
million
and
a
half
possible
for
CSO
type
projects.
I
would
give
them.
2
million
I
would
give
flooding
mitigation.
J
K
J
Anyone
is
interested
tomorrow
night
at
the
Ecorse
Creek
meeting.
We
are
going
to
have
Ali
deeb
there,
who
will
tell
you
the
most
current
things,
that's
at
six
o'clock
and
then
on
Thursday
we're
going
to
have
Mr
Jamal,
who
will
tell
us
about
what
he's
been
working
on
Grant
wise
for
the
e-course
Creek
with
demolition
of
homes,
that's
at
7
pm,
so
just
a
little
plug
3335
South,
Beach
Daily.
Okay,
thank
you.
C
So
those
are
the
kind
of
the
narrow
focus
of
looking
at
everything
in
totality
where
the
what
the
recommendations
are
going
to
be
to
council,
but
in
terms
of
the
details,
dollar
amount.
Specifics
again
going
back
to
the
fact
that
within
those
categories,
there's
a
lot
more
analysis
needed
to
determine
to
demonstrate
eligibility
and
allowability
under
the
arbor
rules.
Once
now
that
the
list
is
focused
or
once
it
is
after
after
they
have
broad
approval
of
the
spending.
So.
F
I
just
want
to
add
one
more
thing:
culture
and
everybody
needs
to
keep
in
mind
where
it
says,
allocated
and
remaining
arpa
funds.
We
have
an
obligation
date
by
December,
31st
2024,
and
then
you
know
that
has
to
be
spot
by
2026..
So
yeah,
that's.
You
know
it's
very,
very
crucial
that
we
don't
lose
the
money.
E
C
H
C
That's
what
that's,
what
I
was
speaking
before
a
option
again
B
option
A
is
go
with
10
million
option
b
is
do
the
calculation
which
is
largely
based
on
future
estimates
and
it's
extremely
difficult
for
to
estimate.
So
in
that
scenario,
you
you
could
be
stuck
like
you
said:
I
I
could
promise
you
a
hundred
dollars
a
day
but
based
on
circumstances
that
are
unforeseen.
That
may
happen
tomorrow.
That
hundred
dollars
could
turn
into
ninety
dollars,
and
then
we
just
lost
10
that
we
could
have
had.
So
it's
it's
a
gamble
either
way.
Unfortunately,.
C
There's
one
just
one
more:
please
yeah
I'll
cover
it
shortly,
we've
kind
of
ready
to
come
back.
Please
touched
on
some
of
them,
but
just
recommendations
again.
Just
to
your
point,
the
the
timelines
there
are
critical
and
making
sure
those
are
met
so
that
you're
not
jeopardizing
any
potential
loss
of
funding.
So
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
now
is
to
once
that
list
is
either
approved
in
or
narrowed
down
further
getting
updated
cost
estimates
for
the
priority
projects.
C
You
know,
obviously,
that
there's
broad
numbers
in
there
there's
a
you
know
broad
ideas
of
what
they
are,
but
some
of
those,
depending
on
the
nature
of
the
projects,
takes
a
lot
more
deep,
diving
to
really
figure
out
exact
numbers,
for
example
the
water
and
sewer
projects.
There's
you
know
an
idea
of
how
much
those
cost,
but
actually
making
sure
that
the
specs
are
up
to
date
and
design
engineering.
C
All
that
good
stuff
is
is
is
up
to
date,
as
is
necessary
to
kind
of
move
it
forward
to
the
next
step
same
thing,
with
priority
pay
that
we've
talked
about
all
those
different
things
that
we
had
mentioned
before.
Looking
at
the
different
departments
a
little
bit
eligibility
of
individuals
based
on
the
criteria,
those
things
would
need
to
take
place
in
order
to
narrow
it
down
to
a
specific
dollar
amount
for
each
thing,
so
that
and
then
also
again
looking
at
the
timelines
of
all
the
projects
so
yeah.
C
Those
are
really
the
kind
of
the
some
some
summation
of
everything
that
came
out
of
the
surveys,
the
public
feedback
department
meetings
and
then
the
the
city's
recommendation
Council
on
how
to
how
to
tackle
the
next
step.
So
any
any
other
questions.
I
know.
You've
just
got
the
report
today,
but
if
you
guys
have
questions
on
anything
in
there
afterwards
or.
J
C
One
I
believe
are
not
to
exceed
total
is
1.3
million,
but
it's
a
tax
task
based
contract.
Okay,
so,
for
example,
right
now
we're
nowhere
near
there.
I
can
tell
you
that
I,
don't
know
the
exact
number,
but
I
know
we're
not
not
even
close
to
that.
So
really,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
what
was
in
our
contract
would
depend
on
what
the
funds
are
used
for.
It's
really.
C
C
F
F
C
F
C
F
No
I
mean
that's
okay,
you're
here
with
us.
Now
it's
again
and
it's
more
from
public
to
know
the
key.
You
know
you
guys
are
suitable
and
this
is
what
we
do
at
the
end
of
the
day.
You
are
just
you
know.
Decision
was
with
the
administration,
they
used
you
guys
and
without
the
recommendation
of
that.
But
again
it.
F
C
And
there's
having
that
same
Realm,
there's
a
there's,
a
good
list
to
it.
I
don't
know
I,
don't
know
if
you've
been
provided,
but
it's
a
list
of
all
a
whole
bunch
of
different
municipalities,
including
counties,
cities,
states
and
what
they've
used
their
funds
on
and
breaks
it
down
by
category
and
an
area
so
great.
N
N
C
D
C
J
F
F
A
Looking
at
it
right
now,
but
one
last
question
on
my
end,
you
will
be
continuing
to
follow
through
with
this
city
Administration.
Once
we
vote
as
far
as
where
these
monies
are
going
to
be
allocated,
you
will
continue
to
work
with
the
city
throughout
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
all
the
different
designs,
correct.
C
Yeah
we'll
work
with
them
like
once
the
you
know.
That
list
is
further
narrowed
down,
making
sure
that
the
costs
kind
of
diving
into
those
details
that
we
talked
about
in
terms
of
Eligibility
and
allowability
Reporting:
okay,
yeah
yeah.
If
you
have
any
questions
after
having
gone
through
the
report
in
more
detail,
like
I,
said
I
know
we
covered.
D
O
Hi,
all
right
so
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
a
few
things
that
I
heard
right
now
so
again,
the
contract
with
their
resumes,
their
contact
information
and
the
comparables
to
other
cities
were
approved
by
the
council
when
we
first
hired
bln
after
we
went
out
for
that
RFP.
So
all
of
you
are
welcome
to
to
view
that
RFP.
If
you
have
any
questions
with
regards
to
the
qualifications
and
the
cities
that
bln
works
with
again,
they
are
task
oriented.
O
So
every
time
we
pick
one
of
these
projects
and
decide
to
move
forward,
it
will
come
back
to
council
for
approval
and
from
there
you
guys
get
to
vote
to
decide
and
ask
further
questions
on
each
one
of
those
specific
projects.
But
again
we
are
choosing
those
top
five,
because
there
is
so
much
engineering
and
back
research
that
we
have
to
do
before
it
even
comes
to
you,
so
you
will
start
seeing
that
soon.
The
first
one
you're
going
to
see
is
actually
on
your
agenda
for
next
week.
O
A
O
So
it's
on
the
agenda
for
you
to
vote
and
approve
so
as
with
all
of
the
projects,
as
we
get
closer
to
having
a
full
estimate
and
an
accurate
estimate
of
those
again,
there
are
other
Grant
sources
that
we're
looking
into
so
we're
going
to
prioritize
those
projects
depending
on
when
those
Grant
awards
are
going
to
come
out.
So
you
may
think,
oh
you
100
need
to
focus
on
Ecorse
Creek.
O
Me,
prime
minister,
can
I
finish.
We
all
agree
that
that
is
the
priority.
Yes,
at
the
same
time,
you
also
have
to
keep
in
mind.
We
have
mandates
that
we
have
to
uphold
and
follow
through
with
so,
for
example,
one
of
the
items
in
that
budget
is
your
l41
project
that
l41
project
has
to
be
finished
by
2026.
O
F
O
C
O
Doesn't
mean
that
because
you
don't
approve
it,
the
cost
of
the
current
l42
project
won't
continue
to
increase.
That
is
also
a
mandated
project.
So
either
way
the
price
is
going
to
go
up.
It's
a
matter
of
whether
you
choose
to
make
the
budget
amendment
or
the
contract
agree
agreement
change
now
or
if
you
want
to
continue
to
find
those
hiccups
each
step
of
the
way
and
coming
back
to
council
for
each
one
of
those
changes.
F
F
F
Or
whatever
we
want,
we
have
it
set
up
for
the
tenor,
restricted
fund
and
so
that
whenever
it's
used,
the
council's
aware
that
hey
7.8
we're
borrowing,
1
million
councils
should
be
aware
of
that.
1
million
is
being
used
out
of
that
7.8
so
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
here,
because
it's
arpa
money,
I.
O
I
I'm
hearing
you
and
you
can
put
whatever
restrictions
you
want.
It
is
no,
it's
not
even
a
restriction,
it's
just
simply.
It
is
a
restriction
because
again,
this
is
not
for
Project
Specific
purposes.
This
is
for
Revenue
loss,
correct
and
general
fund
use.
So
there
is
no
restrictions
in
those
10
million
dollars.
If
you
as
a
council,
want
to
implement
that
yeah
100,
you
can
do
that.
Thank
you.
We
are
very
likely
going
to
recommend
that
you
keep
it
in
your
general
fund
because
you
haven't
been
getting
the
revenue.
F
E
F
F
E
O
Sorry,
thank
you,
okay,
so
right
now
the
way
that
Revenue
loss
Works,
which
is
exactly
what
you
we
did
during
the
budget
last
year.
It
comes
into
your
general
fund
right.
So
what
happens
when
you
have
money
in
your
general
fund?
It's
in
your
savings
account
it's
in
your
bank
right
correct.
How
do
you
use
that
money.
F
O
K
O
F
A
A
When
asked
about
the
Ecorse
Creek,
you
said
we
can't
do
nothing
until
maybe
October
we're
going
to
wait
for
that
Grant,
possibly
coming
in
October.
My
concern
is
as
long
as
I've
been
on.
Council
that's
been
my
biggest
concern
honestly.
The
fat
people
might,
it
seems,
like
the
e-course
Creek,
it's
a
lot
of
great
and
beautiful
publicity,
but
they
can
keep
skin,
kicked
down
the
road
all
the
time.
So.
O
One
second:
do
you
currently
have
a
study
and
an
engineering
study
ready
to
go
with
expenses,
which
was
your
drone
study
so
that
one
for
just
regular
maintenance
100?
We
could
move
forward
with
that
tomorrow.
If
you
want
me
to
yeah
again,
you
have
to
vote
on
it,
so
we
would
have
to
put
it
on
Council.
We
can
move
forward
with
that
tomorrow.
O
Yeah
yeah
the
what
the
Drone
study
found
so
the
areas
of
concern
that
we
need
to
address
so
that
one
we
can
do
100
right
now.
The
more
intensive
engineering,
wise
ones,
which
is
like
the
dredging
of
the
creek
and
all
of
those
items
I,
would
recommend
that
for
those
you
wait
a
little
bit
because
there
is
money
with
the
county
right
now
that
they're
doing
a
similar
project
for
it.
We
submitted
multiple
earmarks
for
all
of
the
Senators
this
past
week,
as
well
as
the
Congress
individuals.
O
So
those
funds
are
haven't
been
allocated,
so
we
may
get
extra
funding
for
that
as
well
and
keep
in
mind
those
extra
projects
require
a
ton
of
engineering,
so
that
doesn't
mean
we're
not
going
to
start
with
the
engineering
studies.
So
again,
I
can
start
the
engineering
studies
for
what
we
have
to
do
tomorrow.
The
that
doesn't
mean
I'm
gonna
actually
proceed
with
the
project
before
October,
because
in
October
I
may
have
new
money
for
it,
but.
A
I
respectfully
disagree:
I'm
gonna
tell
you
something
if
I
was
a
resident
and
I
had
water
and
crap
going
through
my
living
room
door
and
I'm,
not
blaming.
You
I
want
to
make
that
clear,
because
this
has
been
multiple
administrations
that
have
on
the
South
Heights
and
have
done
nothing
but
and
I'm.
Not
blaming
you
again,
I'm
making
it
clear,
but
there's
been
nothing
but
talk.
Talk,
talk,
talk,
we're
gonna,
we're
good
see
to
me.
A
O
I'm
sorry
I
know
I'm,
not
you
but
I'm.
Sorry
to
come
back
to
you
with
this
answer.
We
all
know
what
the
issues
are.
It
has
never
been
the
responsibility
of
the
city.
We
now
have
money.
We
now
have
a
study
for
drones
that
we
can
clean
and
do
maintenance
and
try
to
fix
it.
A
little
bit.
I
am
not
going
to
promise
you
that
I'm
going
to
do
cleanup
without
having
an
engineering
study
so.
A
Dollars
wait
guys,
but
back
to
what
I
talked
about.
Okay
back
to
what
I
talked
about,
people
have
to
see
things
at
the
kitchen
table.
It
doesn't
matter
what
we're
doing
in
the
background.
Doesn't
matter
all
the
talk
from
all
the
politicians,
all
partitions
from
A
to
Z
and
I,
don't
care
if
it's
centers,
I'm,
saying
it
publicly
Senators
Congress
people
ever
all
I've
heard
is
talk,
talk,
talk,
talk,
talk
and
for
Joel
resident.
It
sits
in
their
home.
All
they
have
instead
of
talk,
they
can
watch
on
TV
all
they
want
all
these
accounts.
A
Everybody
saying
we
were
going
to
solve
this
problem.
We're
going
to
allocate
I
was
just
at
a
meeting
at
hype
and
I
don't
care
if
the
senator
here
I,
don't
care
who
hears
this.
It's
bullcrap
that
the
residents
are
not
getting
their
homes
taken
care
of
and
to
me,
if
we
have
a
million
dollars
if
I'm
a
resident,
I
see
bulldozers
going
through
cleaning
up
somebody's
picking
out
trees,
study
after
study
after
study
after
study
talk
after
talk
after
talking
nothing's
been
done
in
southwest
and
honestly
shame
on
all
politicians,
starting
with
me.
O
Here
so
the
studies
that
have
been
done
and
done
and
done
and
done
they're
the
long-term
solution,
which
is
200
million
dollars.
Those
studies
mean
nothing
to
a
small
municipality
like
ours,
so
those
those
major
studies
mean
nothing
to
us.
We
need
to
do
a
localized
for
us
for
our
10
million
dollars
study
just
for
our
city,
for
what
we
can't
do,
the
other
ones,
don't
matter
I.
F
Will
say
this
country,
chair
and-
and
you
know
this
is
Miriam
by
all
means.
This
is
not
your
fault,
but
I
will
say
you
can
I
will
not
eat
the
soil,
because
when,
when
you
got
to
give
recognition,
you
got
to
give
recognition
this.
This
Administration
has
truly
put
its
focus
on
the
Ecorse
Creek
a
lot
more
than
the
past.
I
I
will
not
turn
my
Blind
Eye
and
say
that
that's
not
the
truth.
No,
they
have
Council.
J
F
I
witnessed
it
and
I
know,
we've
been
doing
studies
I
know:
we've
fixed
the
bridges
on
the
Ecorse.
Creek
I
know
that
we've
there
was
a
bunch
we've
made
vote
on
this
Ecorse
Creek
in
the
last
two
years,
a
lot
more
than
we
ever
have.
But
what
I'm
saying
is
it's
not
enough
and
the
Constitution
is
just
kind
of
frustrated.
Today
he
was
at
a
meeting.
You
know
past
week,
I
I
think
there
was
a
time
where
we
met
with
the
Attorney
General's
office
and.
F
Promises
are
made
to
city
of
Dearborn
Heights,
because
you
asked
our
constituents
USC
elected
officials,
who
are
locally
to
tell
people
to
vote
for
the
governor
and
vote
for
this
governor
and
vote
for
this
state
rapper
Vote
for
This
Congress
member,
and
we
do
it
and
guess
what,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
our
constituents
are
saying.
Well,
are
they
going
to
help
us
here?
Yeah
yeah
they're,
going
to
help
us
here
and
then
when,
when
times
are
up
and
they're
term
limited,
it's
like
nothing
was
done
for
Dearborn
Heights.
O
I
understand
and
I
I
get
it
and
all
I
can
say
is
for
our
city
for
the
10
million
dollars
that
we
have
we're
four,
mainly
in
our
5
million,
that
we
want
to
put
into
that
acreage.
Creek
with
a
project
we
currently
have
in
place
that
we
can
proceed
with
is
the
one
that
we
presented
to
you
about
the
drones.
We
can
do
that
any
other
studies
we're
going
to
need
some
engineering
studying
to
for
to
do
them.
O
Okay
right
but
I
just
again,
this
is
a
much
larger
conversation.
Each
project
is
going
to
keep
coming
to
you
week
to
week
to
week
now
that
we
have
the
survey
results
and
we
have
the
five
priorities
that
we're
recommending
we're
going
to
proceed
with
doing
studies
for
those
and
presenting
them
back
to
council.
This
is
not
the
place
for
us
to
decide
that
right
now
there
are
no
studies,
so
he's
going
to
need
time
to
do
those
studies
for
us
to
present
something
clearer
to
you.
That's.
K
O
Is
the
priority
is
still
we
had
to
do
step,
one,
which
is
the
surveys?
It
continues
to
be
the
priority.
Now
we
can
continue
to
do
those
studies
and
if
you
want
to
put
a
resolution,
you
yourself
can
do
it
now.
Now
you
have
the
results,
you
can
put
it
on
the
next
Council
agenda
and
direct
Mr
dip
and
the
administration
to
do
whatever
you
want.
H
Yeah
I
mean
there's
three
of
us
here
that
live
basically
on
the
e-course
Creek,
so
we
know
all
the
the
fighting
that
goes
on
there,
but
you
know
our
obligation
date
is
almost
two
years
from
now
decide
what
we're
gonna
do
with
this
money.
Why
are
they
trying
to
Ram
it
7.8
in
one
week
on
us,
I
hope
you
don't
approve
that
on
an
agenda.
This
is
something
that,
and
once
we
do,
that
7.8
it's
gone.
That's
7.8
out
of
the
22
million
left.
Why?
F
J
C
So
here
this
is
what
I
wanted
to
try
to
explain
that,
hopefully
will
make
make
things
a
little
bit
easier.
So
if,
if,
for
example,
you
pick
five
projects
and
they're,
you
schedule
out
all
the
amounts
right,
that's
and
then
say
you
approve
that
next
week
October
comes
and
you
got
more
funding
that
you
didn't
know
at
this
time
that
you're
going
to
get
you
can
change
it
good.
C
G
D
C
C
J
G
J
A
E
If
everybody
this
audience
been
around
a
long
time-
okay,
good
former
councilman
former
treasurer,
we
had
this
consent
degree
and
what
we
were
told
by
an
administrator
up
about
a
mayor
is:
don't
contact
your
senators
or
congress
people
about
this.
He
told
us
not
to
do
it
not
to
make
waves
okay,
so
nobody
did
okay.
Then
we
started
hammering
same
with
the
CSO
projects.
I
personally
told
them
from
that
Podium.
When
I
was
not
a
councilman,
you're
kicking
the
can
down
the
road.
E
This
project,
that's
going
to
be
two
three
million
dollars:
it's
going
to
cost
us
24
million,
guess
what
we
appropriated,
24
million
dollars
10
15
years
later,
okay,
the
can
is
being
kicked
down.
The
road
too
long,
50
years
of
flooding,
okay
for
I,
believe
the
first
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
project
was
a
little
over
100
million
dollars.
Now
we're
we're
now
we're
now
we're
at
220
million
dollars.
You
wait
next
year
is
going
to
be
260
million
dollars.
E
Okay,
we
don't
have
260
million
dollars,
but
every
penny
this
city
spends
comes
through
this
Council
about
fifteen
hundred
dollars.
Remember
that
above
fifteen
hundred
dollars,
we
say
yes
or
no.
So
when
you
put
the
7.8
million
dollars
in
the
general
fund,
okay
because
of
lost
Revenue,
remember
it's
lost
revenue
and
if
we
continue
to
go
the
way
it
looks
like
some
people
wanted
to
go,
we're
going
to
go
every
year
and
ask
how
much
was
it.
I
I
The
roost
River
they
were
going
to
pave
it
straighten
it
out,
wasn't
going
to
flood.
Well
guess
what
yeah
didn't
have
any
effect,
and
now
eventually
they're
going
to
have
to
come
up
with
money
to
tear
out
all
that
cement,
which
I,
don't
think
will
ever
happen.
But
the
punch
line
is
that
you
know
the
studies
have
to
be
done
and
it's
you
know,
wait.
I
Against
that,
that's
part
of
the
function
of
government,
the
checks
and
balances
and
I
just
want
to
congratulate
our
chief
of
staff.
I
had
a
lot
of
experience
with
past
Chiefs
of
Staff
with
the
shovel
writing
projects.
When
our
former
mayor
Dan
politko
was
in
office,
our
new
Chief
of
Staff
has
done
a
stellar
job
analyzing.
All
this
this
is
you
know.
Spending
on
the
money
appropriately
is
is
very
impressive.
E
A
E
A
E
L
Minute
to
it,
Council
chair,
Council
city
clerk,
Sonia,
I,
first
off,
obviously
hello.
A
few
things
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
Dearborn
Heights
that
aren't
here.
I
would
cordially
like
to
invite
the
mayor
to
stay
for
future
meetings
for
public
comments.
I
find
it
insulting
that
he
leaves
and
doesn't
care
what
his
constituents
say.
L
L
These
people
need
attention
and
they
need
it
first
and
they
need
it
formals
and
they
need
it
before
a
city
hall
and
they
need
it
before
new
carpet
and
they
need
it
because
these
people
can't
live
besides
the
irritation
and
the
health
problems
from
the
mold
and
I
am
shocked.
The
city
has
not
gotten
further
lawsuits
because
of
health
issues,
get
off
your
butts
and
do
something
and
do
not
let
it
go
on
longer
than
the
1977.
Are
you
kidding
me
for.
E
L
E
L
A
A
A
P
Hi,
oh
thank
you.
Council,
chair,
I,
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
comments.
I've
had
my
hands
raised
for
a
while
now
when
Mariana
was
talking,
but
so
do
two
quick
comments,
one
about
the
you
know
the
10
million
Revenue
replacement.
You
have
two
choices,
obviously,
but
just
just
keep
in
mind
that
if
we
select
the
annual
tracking,
then
you'll
be
paying
quite
a
bit
for
consulto
to
keep
track
of
those
instead
of
the
10
million
dollar
lump
sum.
P
Second,
the
projects
that
were
selected,
the
five
categories
that
were
selected
before
you
were
based
on
inputs
from
the
residents
and
and
the
staff.
So
when
we
selected
those
five
projects
for
your
review
honestly
in
approval
for
the
14
million
dollars,
these
projects
were
considered
the
highest
priorities
in
the
city.
One,
the
l41,
CSO
and
councilman
is
absolutely
correct.
The
CSO
project
that
we
have
currently
are
funded
by
by
Grant
by
Bob.
P
However,
the
bomb
was
the
estimates
were
done
four
years
five
years
ago,
yep
and
we're
on
Project
number,
three
and
I.
Don't
think
we're
going
to
have
enough
to
do
all
five
of
us
so
in
lieu
of
selling,
more
bonds
and-
and
these
are
not
revenue
bonds.
These
are
actually
the
revenue
bonds,
meaning
that
they
have
to
be
impact
from
a
cost
of
water
and
source,
so
we're
trying
to
find
alternative
funding
sources
to
not
have
to
sell
more
bonds
or
impact
our
water
and
sewer
rates.
P
So
when
we
put
these
project
lists
together,
we
took
all
of
that
into
account,
so
the
CSO,
the
l41
it
is,
is
a
committed
project
that
we
told
the
state
that
we
will
be
done
with
it
in
2026..
The
number
two
project
is
the
flood
vacation
of
the
equal
screen.
All
these
projects
are
carefully
selected.
They
they
were
selected
to
address
the
public
of
undeed,
as
well
as
the
city's
funding
needs.
P
So
when
we've
selected
these
projects,
like
the
of
love
mitigations
for
the
Ecorse
Creek,
we,
if
you
recall
in
one
of
the
presentations
we
had
three
project
categories
for
the
political
speech.
The
the
Lewis
project
was
the
maintenance
and
and
restoration,
which
is
the
approximately
two
million
dollars.
That
is
the
cleanup.
The
the
dredging,
the
log
remover,
the
restoration
of
of
some
of
the
capacity
on
the
channel,
the
ultimate
project,
which
is
the
Corps
of
Engineers
and
I,
have
to
correct
everyone.
The
latest
estimate
is
close
to
300
million
just
yeah.
P
Because
it
was
great
on
long
enough-
and
if
you
recall
last
year
in
March,
we
received
the
1.6
million
I,
believe
congresswoman
Rashida
clay,
Planet
I
immediately
called
the
court
of
Engineers
to
find
out
where
that
money
is
going
to
go,
and
it
is
again
going
to
update
the
latest
of
update.
So
we
had
a
great
discussion
with
them
that,
ultimately,
we
need
to
start
doing
work
as
opposed
to
studies,
but,
unfortunately,
to
come
with
the
construction
cost.
For
that
project
it
is,
is
not
going
to
be
easy.
P
You
know
act
of
Congress,
absolutely
you're
going
to
need
an
act
of
Congress,
no
one's
going
to
spend
300
million
dollars
on
that
project.
So
what
we
need
to
do
in
the
meantime,
that's
why
we
did
the
Drone
survey
last
year
is
so
I'd
identify
our
needs
within
the
city
of
Dearborn,
Heights
English
to
Southfield,
and
what
we
can
do
in
the
meantime,
spending
the
ultimate
solution
and
what
we
have
before
you
as
project
number.
P
K
A
If
you
had
right
now,
a
million
dollars
even
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
you're
not
going
to
solve
the
problem,
I
get
it,
but
if
you
brought
in
you
know
any
type
of
equipment
that
could
take
trees
out
any
type
of
equipment,
they
could
just
make
the
but
I'm
telling
you
see
this.
This
is
what
I'm
talking
to
you
guys
if
I
was
a
resident,
all
I'm
hearing
is
talk,
talk,
talk,
you're,
not
seeing
actual
action.
What
I'm
saying!
A
Even
if
that
action
is
minimal,
it's
got
to
be
action,
stuff,
actual
things
being
moved
out
of
the
river
actual
things
being
dredged,
even
if
you
couldn't
do
20
miles
or
five
miles
or
seven
miles.
If
you
did
a
block
of
it
at
least
the
presence
would
see
that
we
have
a
starting
point:
we've
had,
unfortunately,
through
multiple
administrations,
no
starting
point,
but
beautiful
talk,
that's
just
my
opinion
and.
P
I
won't
change
it
lucky
the
respectfully
disagree.
If
you
go
and
and
remove,
you
have
to
start
from
the
base
on
the
flow.
You
start
from
the
low
point
to
work
backward.
If
you
start
removing
just
if
you
only
have
enough
money
to
do
500
feet
of
the
five
miles
all
you're
going
to
do
is
now
the
flood
is
going
to
get
worse
in
the
areas
that
you
have
in
clean.
You
need
to
be
able
to
to
to
make
the
flow
uniform.
You
need
to
be
able
what
you
get.
P
So
when
you
start
dredging,
you
will
basically
Excavating
the
settlement.
So
the
time
to
do
minor
work
has
long
passed,
I
mean
I,
have
physically
looked
and
some
of
the
drained
and
they
are
90
block.
There
is
so
much
settlement
in
that
river
that
that
is
just
over
time
accumulated
you
need
to
start.
You
need
to
look
at
the
whole
thing
and
then
come
up
in
which
we
already
did.
We
did
the
surveyed
the
Drone,
so
we
identified
with
physical
blockage
and
the
things
that
need
to
be
done.
P
What
I
need
now
is
money,
like
the
project
number
two
on
the
arpa,
so
I
can
actually
proceed
to
Construction,
so
I
mean
it.
This
is
where
we're
at
now
so
spending
little
money
and
just
do
cosmetic
to
do
cosmetic
work.
I'm
sorry
I
mean
you
hate
to
spend
this.
It's
not
you
need.
You
need
to
spend
serious
money
and.
A
K
K
E
Nine
million
of
it
was
for
water
meters
that
we
even
haven't
started,
and
we
don't
have
enough
money
for
the
water
meters,
so
so
that's
part,
nine
mil
nine
million.
Of
that
24
million
dollars
is
water
meters.
We
were
just
given
a
whole
line
of
yabba
dabba
doo
and
who,
from
the
from
the
the
former
Administration
you
weren't
on
Council
when
that
was
and
I
no,
you
were
not
on
Council.
E
Ordered
before
that,
no
it
was
before
when
we,
when
we,
when
we
voted
in
the
bond
and
I,
wanted
those
separated
from
the
CSO
and
the
water
meters
I
didn't
want
it
combined
I
wanted
them
separate.
So
we
don't
have
money
for
the
water
meters
one
week,
there's
nine
million
in
there
it's
supposed
to
be
for
the
water
meter,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
at
all,
but
it
was
four
or
five
years
ago
that
we
did
it.
So
those
prices
have
gone
up
already.
Okay.
B
Oh
no
and
then
I
understood
what
he
was
saying
once
that
money
goes
you're
not
going
to
see
it
as
a
project,
but
the
money
is
going
to
so
so
yeah
you're,
not
going
to
say.
Oh
I've,
noticed
that
increase
here
or
there
because
it's
going
to
be
spread
out.
So
no
you're
not
going
to
be
approving
it
in
the
way
that
you
thought
that
I
was
assuming
was
being
said.
B
But
so
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
from
having
sat
on
the
school
board,
when
we
approved
arpa
funding
and
our
Esther
funding
and
all
of
those
things
that
we
were
dealing
with,
you
have
your
deadline
to
to
decide
what
you
want
to
do
with
the
money,
but
that
expenditure
deadline
is
not
set
in
stone.
You
don't
have
to
spend
that
money
by
that.
Your
project,
if
you
need
extensions
as
I,
did
confirm
it's
more
of
a
moving
Target.
So
that
does
not
does
not
have
to
be
completed
and
if
I'm
mistaken.
B
So
that's
what
I
was
asking
her.
So
she
misunderstood
my
question,
but
but
you
do
have
until
2024
to
decide
what
you
want
to
do
with
that
money.
I,
just
don't
feel
like
rushing
into
making
a
decision
is
the
best
decision,
especially
since
this
is
the
last
you're.
Never
going
to
see
this
money
again.
You've
got
the
opportunity
to
figure
something
out.
That's
going
to
be
beneficial
to
the
city,
make
the
best
decision
possible.
B
Not
necessary
I,
that's
a
whole
other
issue
that
the
city
has
to
deal
with,
because
we're
clearly
don't
have
the
money
to
to
sustain
the
city
and
our
in
our
finances
and
our
bills.
So
that's
a
whole
other
issue,
but
what
you
guys
decided
I'm
talking
about
the
remaining
funds,
I'm,
not
necessarily
saying
that
I
agree
to
put
the
10
million
into
the
general
funds
either
because
I
feel
like
it's
just
gonna,
go
it's
very
easy,
especially
to
run
a
city
to
spend
10
million
dollars
and
oh
yeah
yeah.
B
B
M
Q
Q
You
all
would
have
talked
about
the
creek
so
much
last
year
when
the
Drone
survey
results
came
in
and
there
was
a
fridge
and
a
mattress
and
everything
else
in
the
creek
and
I
came
up
and
said:
are
we
cleaning
it
out?
Are
we
going
to
send
somebody
to
just
get
the
fridge
out,
freon
in
it
or
whatever?
Well
we
don't
know
nobody
pushed
the
city
on
that
that
time
you
guys
for
all
your
creek
needs
to
have
something
done.
Let's
talk
more
action.
Q
We
had
a
chance
to
take
action
last
year
and
nobody
did
much
that
I'm
talking
about
all
y'all
all
you
guys,
I'm
just
a
little
disappointed
that
last
year,
when
there's
not
an
election
for
you
guys,
it
doesn't
get
talked
about
and
we
all
know
what's
coming
up
in
November.
So
it
just
feels
like
campaigning
to
me
and.
Q
Issues
that
I
am
dealing
with
this
year
and
I
am
honestly
offended
by
that
and
I
will
look
forward
to
your
apology.
I
hope
you
hold
the
no
photo
ops
to
you
guys
in
the
mayor
as
well.
I
love
that
idea
until
this
is
solved,
no
more
photo
ops,
great
role,
good
idea,
Dave
love
it
and,
in
terms
of
you
guys,
being
disappointed
with
the
survey
results.
I
am
sure
you
would
have
gotten
more
than
100
if
you
would
actually
drop
them
off
at
the
recreation
centers
at
the
senior
center
I.
Q
Yeah,
so
if
it
had
been
the
full
two-month
period,
I'm
sure
there
would
have
been
a
lot
more,
maybe
sent
them
to
the
schools
to
be
set
home
with
all
the
students
who
live
in
Dearborn
Heights,
so
their
parents
could
get
one,
maybe
they'd
send
it
back.
Maybe
they'd
go
online.
There
were
a
lot
of
options
campaigning.
You
knock
on
doors.
We
could
have
knocked
down
doors
and
just
said:
hey
we're.
You've
got
five
things.
What's
your
favorite?
Let's
pick
one
five
minute
conversation
great
way
to
talk
to
people
on
a
different
topic.
Q
Q
E
Q
Q
Q
G
We
do
have
1.2
million
dollars
in
the
peg
that
can
be
used.
Why
you
want
to
use
the
arpa
money
when
you
have
1.2
million
dollars
sitting
doing
nothing:
okay,
7.8
million
dollars.
Last
year,
I.
Remember,
we
approved
I,
put
the
motion
to
give
the
two
million
dollars,
which
was
for
the
op
up
PEB,
yes,
I
was
I,
suggested
that
we
split
it
half
a
million
for
General
government,
half
a
million
for
police
and
fire
and
give
the
administration
a
million
I
was
asked
by
the
mayor.
G
G
G
Then
you
take
money
from
our
pouch
could
be
used
for
other
projects
for
public
health,
for
police
and
fire
for
many
many
things
which
is
needed
more
than
just
fixing
a
golf
course
which
I
have
many
many
complaints
about
it,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
it.
So
I
recommend
that
you
go
through
a
study
and
if
we
pay,
you
know
little
money
every
year
for
a
consultant
plant
Moran
to
tell
us
how
much
we
lost
in
Revenue.
It
will
be
worth
it.
G
Then
all
the
sudden,
the
7.8
million
dollars
disappear
one
way
or
another,
because
the
way
I
see
how
things
go
in.
We
ought
to
spend
the
money
we
don't
have
and
I,
don't
believe,
I,
don't
believe
we
lost
money
last
year
because
from
the
people
I
talked
to
in
the
city,
they
said
there
was
no
loss
of
money
and
there
was
no
need
for
the
2.2
million
dollars,
but
I
will
just
cash
in
you.
Do
not
approve
anything
except
step
by
step
year
by
year
in
a
project
by
project.
G
Otherwise
you
will
not
see
7.8
million
dollars
again,
because
this
is
one
time
not
every
time,
and
we
should
look
at
alternative
for
alternative
projects
to
mitigate
the
flood
in
the
South's
end.
There
must
be
some
way
there
must
be
something
we
can
do
for
a
lot
cheaper
price
than
this
one.
Thank
you,
sir.
