From YouTube: 6/6/23 - Dearborn Heights Study Session
Description
The Dearborn Heights Study Session for the Ordinance Enforcement & Blight taking place Tuesday, June 6th 2023 in the Dearborn Heights Council Chambers and via Zoom.
A
Hello,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
today
is
Tuesday
the
6th
it's
right
at
7,
45,
P.M,
we're
doing
a
study
session
in
regards
to
Ordnance
City
blight,
City
concerns
grass,
cutting,
etc,
etc,
etc.
This
is
something
that
councilman
Ray
musque,
had
concerns
about
and
asked
for
a
study
session.
That's
what
we're
doing
we'll
be
able
to
hear
the
audience
and
the
residents
and
their
concerns
and
comments.
We
have
the
director
Edition
here
to
be
able
to
hear
the
comments
directly
from
those
in
the
audience
and
on
Zoom,
and
then
this
is
not
going
to
be
an
end.
B
B
What
I'm
concerned
about
is
not
just
blight
in
general.
This
blight
is
going
to
turn
into
Urban
Decay,
just
like
other
municipalities
have
seen
as
a
little
boy.
I
was
growing
up
in
the
city
of
Detroit,
beautiful,
beautiful
city
and
then
in
the
late
60s.
It
was
a
disaster.
We
moved
to
Dearborn
Heights
to
a
city
that
was
newer
and
yes,
the
streets
were
nice
and
clean
and
there
were
no
cracks
in
the
driveway
and
the
trees
weren't
so
tall.
B
B
B
What
we've
done
in
the
last
20
years
has
not
worked
and
I'll
be
totally
Frank
and
honest.
We've
had
people
that
sat
up
here
that
their
homes
were
horrible,
elected
officials
appointed
people,
their
homes
were
garbage
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
okay,
and
they
got
to
the
point
where
they
they
look
at
their
own
home
and
think
everything
is
fine.
B
Okay,
but
I've
got
pictures
that
I'm
going
to
pass
around
to
my
fellow
Council
people.
It's
not
what
I
want
to
look
at
every
day,
okay
and
I'm
sure
that
people
that
are
here
don't
want
this
either
so,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
get
an
explanation
from
our
director
and
I'm
kind
of
upset
that
our
attorneys
aren't
here
or
more
of
our
lawyers
aren't
here,
because
I
got
a
real
boner
pick
with
all
of
them
and
I'm
just
going
to
come
out
and
say
it.
B
Okay,
we've
been
two
lacks
for
too
long
and
I'm
tired
of
it
I'm
up
to
here.
So
I'm,
going
to
turn
this
over
to
Mr
this
room.
To
give
us
a
rundown
of
what
his
his
department
is
doing
and
kind
of
give
you
a
rundown
of
what
they've
done
in
the
last
year
or
so
or
two
years
okay,
so
we
can
be
better
aware
of
what
what
they're
trying
to
accomplish
and
my
thoughts
on
why
it's
not
getting
accomplished
and
I'll
speak
about
that
later.
Thank
you.
C
C
This
raise
up
I,
put
our
best
foot
forward
and
try
to
do
the
best
we
can.
Since
I've
came
on,
I
was
appointed
in
April
of
2021
by
mayor
bazzi.
We've
made
many
changes
and
continue
to
make
changes
in
order
to
try
to
get
those
that
are
not
in
compliance
into
compliance.
I
have
a
list
of
some
of
the
things
we've
done
and
I
sent,
counsel
and
a
list
of
things
that
we've
done
since
the
beginning
of
the
year.
C
The
ordinance
enforcements
you
see,
the
number
one
is
grass
literally
we
just
started
doing
grass
in
in
late
April.
We
have
have
over
500
enforcements,
we
have
to
tell
people
to
cut
their
grass
and
it
just
extends
out
from
there.
So
it's
very
frustrating
it's
a
lot
of
work
and
we
can't
ever
seem
to
keep
up.
So
here
are
the
changes
that
we've
made
since
approximately
2021,
and
some
have
been
more
recently.
C
So
recently
we
work
with
Corporation
counselor
I
work,
Corporation
Council
to
change
the
court
fee
schedule
to
increase
fines,
which
is
the
first
time
in
20
years
that
that's
been
done.
I
know
it
was
mentioned
before
and
I
know
you
probably
want
to
revisit
it.
I'm
sure
councilman
Muscat
will
want
to
revisit
that
for
sure.
Every
year
they
only
went
up
fifty
dollars
only
fifty
dollars.
It's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
C
C
worked
with
Corporation
Council
Corporation
Council,
as
well
as
city
council
to
change
the
ground,
feeding
ordinance,
which
is
a
big
deal.
We've
gotten
calls
about
that
since
we
haven't
issued
any
tickets,
but
we're
working
on
that
and
obviously
that
ground
feeding
plays
into
the
rat
blight
discussion.
So
that's
something
that
we
that
we
worked
on
and
changed
I
put
in
place
a
post-ticket
follow-up
process
that
is
done
monthly.
We
get
an
update
every
single
month
from
Michelle
God
bless
the
the
ladies
over
the
court,
Michelle
Atkins
Jennifer
Paxton.
C
They
sent
us
a
monthly
update
on
the
tickets
that
are
pending
and
what
has
been
paid
if
something's
paid
we'd
look
at
the
property
again,
if
it's
still
in
violation,
we
go
back
out
and
reissue
a
ticket,
that's
something
that
was
never
done
before.
In
2022
we
started
ticketing
residents
and
businesses
that
were
repeated
funders
appearing
on
the
grasses
for
the
third
time.
That
may
be
a
little
too
lenient.
C
I
think
it
is
at
this
point,
because
we
have
the
same
the
same
thing
happening
again.
Maybe
I'll
move
it
down
to
two
violations.
You
get
a
ticket
as
well
as
we
cut
your
grass,
we
added
a
full-time
Animal
control
officer,
ordinance
officer
in
July,
2021,
I
added,
a
full-time
ordinance
officer
in
November
of
2022,
which
is
for
Tifa.
C
Thank
you
for
your
support,
as
well
as
Tiff
is,
on
that
last
year,
I
added
a
part-time
clerical
person
in
the
office
for
the
increased
workload
during
the
Spring
and
Summer
to
try
and
manage
the
workload
and
we're
actually
I
think
most
people
aren't
aware
of
this.
But
we
are
planning
to
move
to
the
police
department
to
work
more
closely
with
PD
operations,
since
our
our
ordinances
intertwined
frequently
and
those
officers
respond
to
a
lot
of
ordinance
complaints
when
we're
not
around
or
they
have
us
join
them
on
complaints
as
well.
C
The
tentative
move
date
is
August
of
2023
this
year
in
March
and
April
I
provided
training
to
the
pedi
officers
during
their
annual
training
regarding
basic
ordinance
training
and
covered
the
top
ordinance
complaints
that
we
get
so
they
kind
of
had
a
better
idea
of
how
to
address
those
concerns.
We
had
a
you
know,
question
and
answer
period
where
they
could
ask
questions
if
they
needed
to
work
with
the
court.
Corporation
Council
recently
declared
old
tickets.
Some
of
the
files
are
from
2016..
C
So
some
of
the
morale
boosters,
which
I
think
increases
productivity
for
the
employees,
we've
got
a
new
Fleet
of
ordinance
Vehicles,
which
you
The,
Honorable
city
council
approved.
Thank
you
for
that.
We
now
have
City
cell
phones
and
also
the
technology
that
we
had
before
when
I
first
came
to
the
department,
we
had
the
old
style
tablets
that
that
slid
in
the
vehicles
that
were
we
had
like
two
or
three
that
were
working.
That
was
it.
C
We
had
brand
new
tablets
that
were
sitting
that
were
not
being
utilized,
so
I
immediately
deployed
those
I'm,
not
sure
why
they
were
sitting
I
have
no
idea,
but
we
got
them
out
as
soon
as
possible
and
thank
you
tonight
because
I
think
my
ACO
truck
was
approved.
It
sounds
like
it
Council
chair
for
the
extra
20.,
so
that's
that's
a
big
deal.
The
truck
is
very
old,
so
that's
just
another
thing
morale.
A
morale
booster
makes
a
difference
when
you're
trying
to
to
get
people
to
work
and
be
productive.
C
In
my
opinion,
so
also
I
have
a
blight
fighting
strategy
for
2023.
It
kind
of
crosses
back
over
with
some
of
the
stuff
I
just
talked
about.
If
you
want
to
hear
it,
it's
it's
not
that
lengthy,
but
I
can
lay
it
out
there
if
you're
interested
I
assume
you
are
of
course,
okay.
Thank
you.
Councilman
want
to
get
as
much
information.
Information
out
to
Residents
is
possible
via
social
media
other
avenues.
My
intent,
like
I,
said
as
a
post
weekly
updates,
if
possible,
on
social
media.
C
One
of
the
things
I
did
is
I
reached
out
to
Paul
from
Priority
to
see.
If
there's
some
way,
we
could
offer
like
bulk
pickup
weeks
or
something
like
that
to
try
to
have
people
clean
out
their
property
if
we
could
set
up
dumpsters
in
certain
locations
and
offer
it
for
people
to
throw
stuff
out,
that's
something
that's
going
to
have
to
be
approved
by
his
higher
ups
as
well
as
the
mayor.
Just
the
thought
just
me
thinking
out
loud
because
it
was
mentioned
before
the
mayor.
C
Is
yeah
that
would
that
was
just
something
that
that
was
mentioned
by
the
mayor
before
there's
nothing
in
set
in
stone,
I
had
called
Paul
last
week
and
inquired
about
it.
It's
something
that
we
could
look
at
just
as
an
idea.
Cost
wise
I.
Don't
have
an
answer
for
that
right
now,
because
there's
a
lot
of
factors
that
would
play
into
that
number
location.
How
many?
How
often
and
there
you
know
priority-
does
the
bulk
pickup
the
two
items
per
week?
C
So
but
it's
just
a
thought
just
something
that
that
I
thought
of
the
other
thing
I
do
is
encourage
neighbors
to
help
each
other
look
out
for
one
another.
Be
neighborly
I
would
encourage
residents
to
call
in
complaints
instead
of
posting
them
on
social
media.
Console
chairs
mentioned
that
before
nothing
ever
gets
resolved
on
social
media.
C
That
would
be
also
before
contacting
other
City
officials
have
neighborhood
watches
I
I
just
found
a
file
where
there's
some
neighborhood
watches
I'm,
not
sure
if
the
associations
are
still
valid,
but
I
can
reach
out
to
them
and
see
if
they're
interested
in
getting
involved,
activate
Community
volunteer
groups
as
well
to
help
the
Enterprise
properties.
Court
probationers,
as
well
I
just
reached
out
to
Matt
larabelle
who
works
over
at
the
court,
not
sure
how
possible
it
is
to
have
probationers
go
on
to
private
property.
C
C
C
C
Okay
and
that
the
other
idea
that
I
had
was
changing
blight
to
a
misdemeanor
charge
instead
of
a
civilian
fraction,
that's
a
lengthy
process,
not
sure
how
possible
that
is
working
on
getting
everybody.
On
the
same
page,
judges
prosecutors,
the
Ordinance
Department.
We
have
I
think
we
have
a
a
better
communication
now
with
our
Corporation
Council
City
prosecutors,
the
judges
as
well
so
I'm
hoping
moving
forward.
We
can
work
on
getting
issues
resolved
that
we
may
have
had
in
the
past
that
have
been
pending.
C
Ray
Ray
Muscat
has
I'm
sure
he
knows
what
I'm
talking
about.
Also
the
idea
is
to
use
the
police
department.
That
would
be
something
that
the
chief
would
obviously
have
to
approve.
Those
guys,
I
believe,
are
encouraged
to
enforce
the
ordinances.
That's
a
force
multiplier!
There's
you
know
three
or
four
times
well,
probably
more
than
that
of
them.
As
there
are
us
I
said
before
PD
Officers
have
ordinance
brochures
as
well
as
notice
of
violations
utilize
and
pass
out
the
residents
they
can.
C
C
We
got
brochures
here
at
City
Hall.
We
packed
we
sent
out
all
the
brochures
last
time
when
we
did
the
Ordnance
sweep
we
that
was
met
with
mixed
reviews.
Some
people
were
offended
by
the
letters
and
the
brochures,
so
we
spent
a
lot
of
money
doing
that.
The
other
idea
I
had
was
to
have
Reserve
police
officers,
issue
notice
of
violations
as
well
I'm
going
to
use
nuisance
abatement
to
alleviate
some
of
the
issues.
C
Also
we're
going
to
use
I
want
to
thank
David
Cooper
as
well
he's
bringing
us
into
the
I
know
it's
it's
change
is
always
hard
for
people,
but
I
see
the
c-click
fix
that
he's
going
to
be
implementing
is
beneficial.
I.
Think
it's
going
to
help
us
streamline
our
processes,
because
everything's
so
disjointed.
C
C
Believe
it's
the
beginning
of
July
to
see
quick
thanks
yeah,
because
he's
been
working
on
he's
been
asking
for
input
from
all
the
directors
and
other
people
in
the
city,
so
I'm
hoping
it's
in
July,
but
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
one
of
those
things
going
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
because,
like
there
every
time
you
get
something
new,
there's
always
growing
pains
and
you
got
to
learn
the
system
learn
the
processes.
C
It's
just
one
of
those
things
it's
going
to
take
time,
but
it's
it's
gonna.
It
I
think
it'll
be
beneficial
for
us.
So
I
want
you
know,
it's
he's.
I
think
he's
done
a
tremendous
job.
That's
just
my
humble
opinion.
I'm
sure
there's
people
behind
me
are
throwing
daggers
at
me
over
it
with
their
eyes.
But
that's
just
me.
So
we
also
the
cell
phones
have
been
added
as
well.
We
can
utilize
them
to
take
pictures
at
complaints,
which
is
a
lot
easier.
Sometimes
in
the
the
tablet.
Tablets
are
bulky.
C
The
cell
phones
are
really
easy.
They
can
also
be
utilized
as
a
hot
spot,
so
we
can
use
them
and
tie
them
with
our
tablets
and
update
the
information
in
real
time
when
it's
used
as
a
hot
spot.
That's
a
little
more
advanced
as
well,
but
that's
something
that's
on
the
the
table
as
well.
So
so
that's
about
all.
C
A
So
at
this
particular
point,
I'm
gonna
go
a
little
bit
outside
the
box
and
I'm
gonna
allow
residents
to
speak
next,
just
because
some
of
them
have
waited
for
a
little
bit
to
be
able
to
say
their
piece
and
then,
like
I,
said
stay
in
the
general
vicinity,
because
you
may
have
to
answer
some
of
these
questions.
So
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
go
to
public
comments.
Next
come
on
up.
You
want
me
to
give
them
three
City
street
name,
you
know,
can
I
have
an
hour.
No
I,
always.
A
B
A
A
No,
no
I'm
talking
about
City
activism
in
general
and
I
like
and
I've
always
liked
the
fact
you
know
when
people
get
and
Rachel
she
was
in
here
earlier,
Lisa,
etc,
etc.
When
people
work
with
government,
try
to
force
government
to
do
things
that
are
right,
so
everybody
will
have
four
minutes
today.
Quad
Angela.
E
Venegas,
the
White
Street
Dearborn,
Heights,
Michigan
I'm,
probably
a
resident
who
calls
Ray
at
least
once
a
week
about
blade
issues
and
he
tries
to
get
action
and
I
with
him
agree
that
our
Ordinance
Department
is
writing
tickets
and
it's
our
judges
that
are
not
enforcing
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
That's
going
on
I
started
to
come
here
five
years
ago
because
of
blight
issues
and
one
of
the
first
things.
I
brought
I
bought
a
board
with
me.
E
Board
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
on
that
board
and
I
came
in
for
was
my
husband
and
I
were
riding
our
bikes
I'm
an
avid
bike
rider,
and
there
was
a
woman
who
was
in
a
wheelchair
who
fell
on
Warren
Avenue
and
couldn't
get
up
because
of
a
sidewalk
that
was
impassable
and
the
sidewalk
is
on
Charlesworth.
Oh
I'm,
sorry
I'm
Warren
on
the
South
Side
between
Charlesworth
Amboy
I
brought
pictures
that
I
just
took
of
that
same
sidewalk.
Five
years
later
is
still
the
same.
E
A
G
A
E
Light
pole
on
Clearview
between
Kennedy
and
golly
over
a
month
ago
was
hit
by
a
garbage
truck.
This
light.
Pole
is
still
sitting
knocked
over
halfway,
just
slanted
the
strip
mall
on
Warren
Avenue
in
Inkster,
the
southeast
corner
behind
there
there's
mattresses
just
dirt
debris
and
we
have
a
child
daycare
center
there.
It's
disgusting
disgusting.
E
E
We
have
a
carpet
place
on
Warren
Avenue,
that's
a
big
offender
of
being
dirty,
and
it
also
involves
our
city
there's
a
sewer.
There
that's
been
covered
for
over
a
year
with
a
cone
and
the
sewers
ready
to
cave
in
on
the
driveway,
and
it's
covered
with
the
Dearborn
city
of
Dearborn
Heights
cone
that
needs
to
be
taken
care
of
strip,
mall,
opposite
side
of
Target
I
looked
at
this
one
day,
it's
just
garbage
and
trash
everywhere
at
least
they
did
fix
the
cement
back.
There.
Finally
doesn't
look
like
a
third
world
country
back.
I
E
H
E
And
along
with
Ray
the
phone
poles
I
called
him
about
a
phone
call
on
Charlesworth
and
half
it
was
placed
there
March
5th.
Still
there
we
had
a
water
main
break
at
the
corner
of
Charlesworth
and
Hass
on
April
16th.
The
pylon
cones
are
still
there
a
bunch
with
the
gravel
rocks
in
that
corner.
It
hasn't
been
fixed
with
new
cement,
new
grass
anything
the
sycamore
trees.
E
I
I
can't
no
and
I
I
wanted
to
pay
to
cut
mine
down,
I
was
going
to
pay
for
it
and
then
I'm
told
I
have
to
pay
350
for
a
tree
fund.
It's
bad
enough.
I'm
cutting
down
a
city
tree,
and
this
is
just
a
win-win
for
the
city.
I,
can't
let
my
dog
out
right
now.
I
almost
take
him
to
the
emergency
room
vet,
because
the
needles
from
them
were
stuck
in
his
paw
and
I
thought.
He
heard
his
paw
in
his
Pine.
E
The
needles
from
the
sycamore
tree,
embedded
in
his
paw
and
I
just
wish
that
corporate
Council
would
increase
fines
and
the
judges
would
just
start
enforcing
things,
and
our
director
was
up
here
about
the
grass
and
everything
and
that's
one
of
the
main
blight
problems
in
our
city
and
the
biggest
problem.
I
have
is
I
call
you
guys,
and
sometimes
nobody
shows
up
for
two
or
three
weeks
by
then
they've
cut
the
grass
and
then
the
resident
Waits
another
two
three
weeks
till
it's
long
and
they
they
don't
cut
it
again.
E
B
B
How
long
does
it
take
to
get
this
guy
to
obey
the
ordinances
and
get
get
home
out
of
there
charge
them
for
the
towing?
This
is
ridiculous.
The
times
that
I
personally
called
on
people
selling
Vehicles
out
of
their
home
tickets
were
an
issue
we
also
just
had
recently
where
a
ticket
was
backdated
at
the
building
department.
Okay
after
two
years
and
and
it's
compliance
fees
when
people
come
in
to
court
and
they
get
a
25
fine
on
the
300
ticket.
B
Well,
guess
what
I'm
gonna
quit
cutting
my
grass
and
I'll
pay
25
you
come
and
cut
my
grams
and
I'm
done
for
the
year.
Okay
and
somebody
gets
on
that
list
today
and
they
gotta
go
back
again
next
year
or
the
year
after
that
and
it's
the
same
person
taking
them
right
away
immediately.
I've
got
that's
that's
the
entry,
that's
the
answer.
Corporation
Council
has
as
a
picture.
B
That's
the
answer
of
a
home
that
I
took
a
picture
of
and
I'm
gonna
say
it's
on
Wilson
they
were,
they
were
ticketed
of
the
violation,
but
now
this
was
written
six,
five,
which
is
just
recently,
but
how
long
is
it
going
to
take
now
to
get
that
cleaned
up?
It's
going
to
take
all
of
June,
all
of
July
all
of
August,
and
maybe
just
maybe
it'll
get
cleaned
up
in
time.
B
Okay
and
the
rental
properties
I'm
not
saying
it's
the
renters
the
people
who
write
because
they
could
be
good
people
I
blame
the
owners
of
those
homes
because
I
know
if
I
owned
a
home
I'd
be
going
buy.
It
weekly
take
a
look
and
see
what
somebody's
doing
with
my
investor
investment
a
lot
of
these
homes
could
be
section.
Eight.
They
just
don't
care
they're
getting
money
from
the
government.
We
need
to
put
the
hammer
down
and
I'm
gonna.
Look
at
you,
you
could
that's
what
you
get
paid
for
you're
the
attorney.
B
You
find
a
creative
way
to
find
these
people
heavily,
because
you
know
what
if
the
stuff
doesn't
come
out
of
my
wallet,
I
could
care
less,
but
the
minute
you
start
charging
people
three
four
five
hundred
dollars.
There's
somebody's
going
to
get
the
message
here:
okay
and
I've
been
saying
this
for
15
years:
18.,
okay,
whatever
it
is,
it
could
be
25
I,
don't
know,
but
I'm,
sick
and
tired
of
our
ordinances
being
run
over
and
and
Mr
this
room,
sir,
you
were
sugar
coating
things.
B
Your
department
was
not
run
properly
for
a
number
of
years.
Thank
you.
I've
had
that
argument
for
a
long
time.
Okay-
and
it
was
not
run
by
the
director-
was
run
by
somebody
else
in
the
office
there.
Okay
and
I
know
because
every
time
I
went
there
well
I
have
to
ask
this
part.
What
are
you?
Are
you
not
the
director
of
ordinance?
B
B
But
my
wife,
my
wife,
will
attest
to
this.
We
passed
an
ordinance
where
you
can't
see
your
garbage
can
from
the
street
and
she's
still
mad
at
me.
Today.
I
spent
1700
on
a
privacy
fence
a
small
little
section,
so
you
don't
see
mine.
You
know
why,
because
I
got
the
biggest
mouth
in
the
city
and
if
I
can't
do
it
right,
then
then
I
shouldn't
argue
with
anybody
about
them
doing
it
wrong.
Okay,
councilman.
A
H
K
K
K
A
Hundred
ounces,
I'm
stopping
okay
once
wait,
one
one.
Second,
one.
Second,
director:
okay,
Mr
Owen!
You
can
ask
your
questions,
they
will
be
answered.
The
only
thing
is
when
the
director
is
talking
from
there.
People
on
Zoom
can't
hear
nothing
he's
saying
so
you
could.
It
will
allow
you
to
start
and
then
once
you're
done,
the
director
will
go
up
and
answer
whatever
questions
unless
you'd
like
to
stay.
In
that
same
time,.
K
C
C
K
C
A
H
A
L
Yeah
I'm
going
to
respond
I
think
what
we're
looking
at
is
putting
fingers
in
a
duck.
I
came
to
I
came
here
from
Boston
and
worked
on
the
abandoned
properties
project
in
Detroit.
We
were
doing
a
400
properties
a
week
going
through
taking
the
properties
from
the
owners.
I'd
redesigned
a
complaint
to
cut
it
down
from
a
year
and
a
half
the
three
months
and
take
that
to
deal
with
the
blank
and
the
property.
That's
going
on.
I
think
you
have
to
figure
out
a
campaign.
L
You
have
to
change
people's
perspective
and
their
value
of
their
property.
We
did
it
in
Boston
when
we
put
affordable
housing,
a
1200
apartment
next
to
a
400
department.
They
kept
it
up.
Things
changed
when
you
change
the
culture
and,
yes,
we
will
give
out
tickets
and
we
will
punish,
but
if
you
don't
change
the
mindset
of
the
people
and
do
a
full
blight
campaign
with
that
money,
you
allocated
for
the
media.
L
It's
an
excellent
example
to
use
to
put
a
campaign
on
to
meet
social
media
as
well
as
television
about
what
places
are
to
look
like.
We
keep
enforcing
the
ordinances,
but
we
change
people's
mindset.
I've
seen
it
work,
we
worked
hard,
we
took
the
drug
houses,
we
changed
the
targets
of
drug
houses
in
Wayne
County
as
a
prosecutor,
okay
from
the
abandoned
properties.
You
can
do
it
and
it
can
be
successful.
It
can't
be
a
One-Shot
deal,
it
can't
be
just
punishing
people,
you
have
to
do
a
campaign,
a
three-month
campaign,
a
six-month
camp.
B
You
know
you're
saying
it
changed
people's
minds,
but
there's
one
picture:
I
showed
you
that's
a
house,
that's
in
a
neighborhood
that
homes
are
450
500
000.
If
this
guy
can
walking
out
the
front
door
and
sees
his
and
sees
other,
what's
going
to
change
his
mind,
what's
going
to
change
his
mind,
is
a
hefty
ticket.
That's
what
will
change
his
mind.
Yeah.
L
G
B
It
was
a
woman
and
I
told
her
I
said
before
I
call
the
city
I'd
like
for
you
to
look
at
cut
your
grass
and
she
goes
and
she
starts
laughing
and
she
says
I'm
just
waiting
on
the
ground.
This
grass
has
never
been
it's
nothing
but
pure
weeds
weeds.
All
in
the
the
flower
beds,
okay
and
I
said,
but
this
is
not
a
joke.
Look
at
your
neighborhood
and
look
at
your
home.
B
So
what
happened
an
hour
later,
I
got
a
phone
call
from
her
husband
and
I
was
mf'd
one
side
up
down
the
other
side
called
everything
in
the
book
and
I
had
to
hang
up
on
this
guy.
He
doesn't
care,
they
don't
care,
and
the
only
way
he's
going
to
Care
is
when
the
city
finally
went
out
there
and
put
a
ticket
on
his
house
and
they
still
don't
care
when.
L
I
was
running
forfeiture
unit
with
a
prosecutor's
office.
We
seized
20
000
cars
in
one
year.
Okay,
we
put
up,
we
set
up
the
John's
Network,
we
put
the
John's
pitches
on
the
media
and
if
you
want
to
put
something
out
of
people's
light,
you
put
the
pictures
up
and
you
do
something
of
a
campaign,
because
that
changes
people's
behavior
as
well.
There's
not
just
one
solution,
I'm
saying.
B
K
I
K
L
It
I
agree.
It
needs
to
be
tracked.
It's
one
of
the
comps
that
that
the
the
police
departments
use
the
track.
You
know
it's,
it's
it's
tracking
and
keeping
track
of
things
that
happen
in
a
community
that
base
the
quality
of
life.
It
goes
to
the
broken
windows
syndrome
and
fixing
broken
windows.
There's
theories
and
his
studies
done
from
that
we've
read:
we
actually
helped
at
Harvard
when
we're
there
and
other
groups
that
have
put
these
together
so
you're
right.
That's
part
of
the
response
time.
How
long
do
we
take
to
get
there?
L
L
K
N
C
C
K
K
C
C
We
do
we
we've
always
done
the
best
we
can.
My
officers
have
areas
that
they
sweep
back
through.
We
get
complaints
every
single
day.
These
guys
are
responding
that
we
had
that
doesn't
even
include
the
animal
control
complaints
that
the
officers
get
because
those
are
through
the
police
department.
Those
are
technically
separate.
We
had
about
4
000
complaints
that
they
responded
to
in
the
first
five
months
of
the
year.
So
four.
K
K
B
Every
year
it's
an
ongoing
process.
You
see
the
patches
going
on
now
you,
you
know
the
amount
of
money
that
would
take
to
replace
every
single
road.
I.
Don't
think
these
people
here
want
to
only
up
another
70
million
two
thousand
dollars
a
year
on
their
taxes.
I,
don't
think
so.
Nobody
wants
to
pay
more
than
that.
B
Okay,
so
that
you
know
again
any
type
of
service
costs
money
and
when
the
infrastructure
has
gotten
old,
like
it
has
here
in
Dearborn
Heights
it
takes
money
to
fix
it
now
am
I
am
I
all
in
favor
of
how
we
let
it
go.
No,
because
we
really
Let
It
Go
for
years,
just
like
the
CSO
project,
everything
gets
kicked
down.
The
road
we'll
wait
and
get
that
done
later.
Is
there
any
money
to
fix
the
roads
right
now?
Well,
we
are
spending
money
on
fixing
some
roads
matter
of
fact,
I'm.
B
K
B
K
B
The
potholes,
if
somebody
calls
it
in
I,
do
know,
DPW
goes
out
and
fixes
potholes
now
big
slabs
of
cement.
They
have
to
go
out
there,
look
at
it
chalk,
it
off
cut
it
repair.
It
takes
more
than
one
day
but
I
do
know
when
I
call
DPW
or
anybody
that
I
know
that
calls
DPW
says:
I
got
a
big
pothole
in
front
of
my
house.
They
come
out
and
Patch.
They
do
do
that.
K
A
K
A
K
O
B
O
O
Then
you
know
it
gets
the
three
weeks
and
then
they
get
they'll
get
a
ticket.
Then
they
cut
it
and
then
they
don't
cut
it
again
for
another
three
weeks
we
got
to
do
something
about
repeat
offenders,
absolutely
I
mean
repeat,
offenders
is
and
and
I
was
wondering,
I
was
going
to
ask
Mr
dishing,
but
she's
occupied
right
now,
director
do
we
do
we?
Do
we
take
a
count
on
how
many
of
the
violations
say
for
grass
are
on
rental
properties?
O
Well,
you
know:
I
talked
to
some
people
from
other
cities
and
their
fines
for
grass.
It
is
five
hundred
dollars
the
they
find
the
people
they
had.
It
just
come
and
mow
their
grass,
and
then
they
don't
get
any
more
warnings
after
that,
the
next
time
it's
a
ticket
again,
it's
another
500
ticket,
councilman.
O
A
P
H
O
C
A
N
N
N
They
were
very
nice,
they
told
me
a
year
ago
there
was
nine
tickets
written
and
still
nothing
has
changed.
It's
the
same
thing:
it's
not
the
people
who
live
there.
It's
the
management,
they
never
cut
the
grass
they
never
rake
the
leaves
they
do
nothing
and
it
goes
on
it's
sort
of
sickening
every
time
you
go
down
Pelham
and
have
to
look
at
that.
It's
a
mess.
N
N
N
One,
the
other
thing
I
want
to
say
I,
want
to
thank
you,
because
Van
Born
is
now
paved
between
Pelham
and
Monroe.
Thank
you.
That
was
the
county.
Welcome,
sir
also
also
I
want
to
say:
I
lost
my
train
of
thought.
This
is
what
happens
when
you
get
old.
Okay,
tell
me
about
it.
We
know
I
can't
think
about
it's.
Okay,
okay,
oh
I,
know
what
it
is
on
power
Street
about
a
month
ago,
a
house
burns
down.
N
N
H
N
A
H
A
B
Chair
also
I
want
to
add
to
build
this
room.
The
DTE
building
on
on
Cherry
Hill
I've
spoken
about
that
for
years
places
a
dump
DTE
ought
to
be
ashamed
of
themselves.
It's
a
dump,
and
these
high
bushes,
like
the
gentleman
was
talking
about
I've,
said
that
many
times,
and
you
know
what
I
was
told-
good
luck
getting
the
attorney.
The
the
judges
to
give
tickets
for
defense
ordinance
says
even
plantings
that
offense
can't
be
more
than
six
feet
tall.
Now
you
got
weed
trees
growing
out
of
them.
I
showed
you
the
pictures.
P
Highway,
it
is
a
Highway
while
whoever
put
this
tonight,
it's
really
healthy.
It's
a
good
way.
I
mean
we
need
to
to
speak
up.
We
need
to
bring
issues
that
we
are
facing
in
the
city,
Mr
Owen.
Thank
you
for
for
coming
here,
I
mean
I,
know
some
people
get
frustrated,
I
get
frustrated
of
you.
Sometimes
that's
okay
I
mean
you
need
to
get
to
the
point,
but
really
thank
you.
You
don't
live
in
the
city,
but
you
bring
in
a
good
point
sometime.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
it.
P
You
know
I
hope
all
the
citizens
of
Dearborn
Heights
will
come
and
speak
up
and
really
ask
the
the
council
the
administration
about
issues
yeah.
We
we
have
I
mean
that's
a
good
thing
tonight.
We're
talking
about
the
grass
first
of
all,
I
mean
with
the
audience
Department
I
mean.
Maybe
it's
a
time
that
what
comes
the
summer
time
they
need
extra
help
they
need
like.
Maybe
in
turn
you
guys.
Maybe
we
could
reach
out
to
schools
to
to
hire
people
or
maybe
to
have
a
a
tip
line.
P
You
know
be
monitored
by
by
you,
I
mean
something
gotta
come
out
because
we've
been
talking
about
the
grass
okay,
there's
starting
Monday
to
Sunday
nine
o'clock
at
night.
I,
don't
know
what
the
time
for
those
guys
they
come
and
the
companies
they
cut.
The
grass
is
the
certain
time
that
they
can
start
in
the
morning
and
finish
at
night
by
the
way.
C
P
C
P
P
No
no
I
mean
there's
no
set
time
at
night
should
be
because
I
know
some
cities.
I'm
sorry,
there's
some
cities,
Sunday
they're
not
allowed
to
cut
the
grass
okay.
I
mean
I
I,
live
on
on
Sheehan,
the
Minnesota
school.
Behind
me,
okay,
I'm
Sometimes,
They,
Come,
eight
nine
o'clock
at
night,
I
mean
and
in
the
morning
Sundays
I
mean.
If
there's
a
lot,
they
can
do
it.
That's
fine,
but
that's
why
I'm
trying
to
get
to
the
point?
Is
there
a
certain
point?
That's
not
in
the
morning
different:
they
can
do
it
after
hours.
C
C
P
Mean
you
come
from
work
in
the
evening
like
Saturday
evening,
right
or
Sunday
evening,
I
mean
how
the
heck
that
these
guys
they
come
and
they
bring
those
big
machines
and
right
and-
and
this
is
not
the
issue
too,
the
issue
is
when
they
start
to
blow
the
grass
and
they
go
like
on
the
street.
They
don't
care,
you
know
they
leave.
I
mean
these
guys
have
to
really
hear
from
the
city
that
they
came
along.
They
go
on
to
the
sewers
and
they
leave
them
on
the
streets.
Sometimes
right.
B
P
A
P
Is
too
much
I
mean
son
lives
on
Nightingale
I
think
his
his
son?
He
can't
walk.
You
know,
I
have
to
put
him
in
this
stroller.
This
is
ridiculous.
I
mean
I,
wish
I
took
the
pictures.
I
took
the
pictures
before
so.
Maybe
this
is
a
time
for
a
serious
inspection
for
serious,
forcing
the
issue
of
whoever
is
going
to
pay
the
resident.
Maybe
we
should
the
city
give
a
break
sometime
I
mean
for
a
certain
point
to
the
resident.
Like
the
city
will
pay,
half
the
resident
will
pay
half
and
to
a
certain
time.
P
Then,
if
they
don't
come
forward,
then
the
city
can
go
fix
it
and
build
the
resident.
I
mean
we
have
to
have
a
vision.
I've
been
coming
to
the
city
meeting
for
years.
You
know
I
mean
we
need
to
come
up
into
a
vision.
We
need
to
figure
out
how
to
send
a
clear
message
to
the
to
the
resident
that
the
city
also
doing
or
the
administration
doing
their
part
for
the
citizen
to
start
okay,
you
know
they're,
taking
it
serious,
yeah
they're
issuing
tickets
they're.
P
D
Comes
to
church
just
before
and
I
know
Mr
Bez.
He
mentioned
something
about
tip
line,
but
director
Edition
he
did
go
over
a
program
that
hopefully
is
going
to
be
implemented
in
July,
where
you
can
take
a
picture
and
send
it
straight
to
the
earnings
department
so
yeah.
So
we're
working
a
lot
of
stuff.
That's
going
to
take
some.
O
Q
Lisa
shansky
West
Pleasant
Ridge
once
again
here
to
when
Friends
and
Influence
People.
First
of
all,
this
particular
study
session
was
supposed
to
be
about
blight
and
I.
Think
we
all
need
to
be
clear
on
exactly
what
blight
is
it's
when
something
severely
detrimentally
affects
a
thing
or
spoils
or
damages
the
environment.
Q
Q
I
think
and
I
think
Mr
deshroon
has
clarified
for
us
what
the
biggest
issues
are
and
I
think
that
those
are
the
grass
issues
and
also
I
do
agree
with
bazzi
I
thought
that
was
right,
but
I
didn't
want
to
be
wrong
about
the
overgrown
foliage,
which
is
also
an
ordinance
issue
on
the
tree
on
the
fence
lines
because
it
gets
to
the
point
where
children
cannot
ride
their
bikes.
People
cannot
walk.
It
gets
very
slippery
when
it's
wet
it
becomes
a
safety
issue,
also
the
trash
cans,
the
dumpsters.
Q
When
people
get
evicted.
We
see
that
picture
frequently
on
Facebook
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
That
should
be
part
of
the
campaign,
and
let's
get
to
that
in
a
minute,
then
I
also
think
that
some
of
the
things
that
you
can
do
differently,
Mr
deshroon
we
talked
about
well,
do
you
know
how
many
are
in
this
quadrant
or
that
quadrant
in
terms
of
whether
it's
a
grass
ordinance
or
an
animal
controller,
so
that
you
have
got
as
a
city
to
learn
how
to
mine
data?
Q
The
devil
is
in
the
details,
learn
how
to
mine
your
data.
There
are
some
simple
questions
that
were
asked
tonight
that
really
I
really
thought
should
be
off
the
top
of
your
head
and
they
were
not.
You
have
four
people
which
means
that
you
have
quadrants.
Yet
when
I
call
ordinance,
they
say
connect
for
this
person
that
person
I,
don't
know
who
works.
My
quadrant
and
I
was
a
block
Captain
for,
like
15
years,
I
called
routinely
on
the
when
we
had
previous
management
and
I
always
knew
who
my
blog
Captain
I
always
knew.
Q
C
Q
Q
What
is
not
send
one
to
each
home
in
the
community
put
them
in
the
assessor's
office.
So
when
someone
moves
in
during
the
year
and
they
register
their
home,
they
are
handed
one
work
with
the
Real
Estate
Association,
so
that
as
people
are
out
and
being
talked
about,
Dearborn
Heights,
they
know
what's
expected
of
them
before
they
move
into
this
community.
I
knew
those
things.
I
studied
those
things
and
I
truly
deliberately
bought
a
home
in
a
area
with
strict
ordinances.
Q
It
was
either
Dearborn
or
Dearborn
Heights
and
in
the
last
23
years
and
I
would
say
specifically
in
the
last
five.
It's
really
Fallen.
Apart
and
I
think
that
you
know
there
are
things
that
again,
you
can
do
that,
make
this
easy
again,
the
Bob
and
craft
thing
that
thing
is
sitting
there
and
ready
I
have
another
minute.
He.
B
G
My
name
is
Joan
Tink
I
live
on
Kingston
and
there's
a
illegal
Mr.
Dishroom
knows
me
very
well.
We
I
sent
him
pictures
daily
of
the
house
across
the
street
that
is
running
a
car
rental
business
and
it's
very
busy.
It's
very
annoying
and
I.
Think
it's
illegal
and
there's
people
being
dropped
off.
I
have
videos,
I
have
pictures.
This
has
been
going
on
for
over
a
year
now,
Mr
Gowdy
knows
all
about
it.
He
lives
down.
The
street.
I
have
the
website
where
they
but
the
cars
on
our
street.
G
My
house
is
in
one
of
these
and
my
fire
hydrant
they're
advertising
the
cars
there's
a
lot
I
believe
somewhere
the
cars
are
being
driven
from
the
lot
to
our
street.
Sometimes
there
are
so
five
six
cars
lined
up
this
morning
there
were
four
drop-offs
people
from
coming
up
from
all
over
the
place:
unloading
things
from
trunks
they're.
On
my
front
lawn
they've
littered
my
grass
they're,
throwing
cigarette
butts
all
over.
It's
getting
crazy.
It's
getting
out
of
control.
I've
talked
to
Nancy
I've
worked
with
her
on
the
election.
G
I've
talked
to
Mr
dish,
room
pretty
much
daily.
I've
spoke
to
the
mayor,
knows
about
it.
Everybody
Michelle,
Bianchi,
everybody
in
ordinance
knows
who
I
am
we're
on
a
first
name
basis.
I
have
everything
time
stamped.
The
house
is
owned
by
someone
who
does
not
live
there.
He
lives
in
Dearborn.
He
is
it's
being
rented
by
someone.
He
knows
the
person
who's,
the
ringleader
of
the
whole
business
lives
in
Livonia.
He
doesn't
even
live
on
the
street
and
I
am
I,
got
a
80
foot
lot
and
all
I
can
say
all
I
see
all
day.
G
Seven
days
a
week
are
cars
coming
and
going
racing
up
and
down
the
street
backwards.
Yesterday,
I
had
to
call
the
police
and
have
a
guy
told,
to
leave
they're
recruiting
their
friends
they're
sitting
in
the
street
all
day,
they're
running
the
engine
all
day,
they're
recruiting
their
friends,
their
cousins,
whoever
and
they're
they're
they're
getting
hits
on
their
phones
and
then
the
cars
come
around
the
corner.
G
The
the
driving's
erratic
from
the
people
running
it
there's
two
brothers,
the
mothers
in
the
house,
whatever
she's
doing
and
my
daughter
and
my
grandson
were
almost
hit
I.
They
thought
when
they
moved
in,
and
the
woman
sat
at
her
porch
and
told
me
I'm
running
a
business
in
an
Airbnb
I
knew
there
was
going
to
be
problems,
they're
not
licensed.
G
They
don't
speak
to
me.
I
told
them
to
stay
off
the
front
of
my
house.
They
don't
listen,
they're
disrespectful,
they
flip
him
off
every
time
he
drives
down
the
street
they're
they're
ridiculous.
They
they
need
a
car
lot.
This
is
a
commercial
business.
This
is
a
zoned
residential
street.
The
house
was
sold
as
a
homestead.
That
means
the
owner
has
to
live
there.
He
does
not
live
there.
He
never
has.
H
H
G
I
didn't
get
a
response:
I
haven't
Mr
dish,
room,
excuse
me,
but
he
keeps
giving
me
a
lot
of
excuses.
He
told
me
to
call
the
police
that
was
the
email
I
got
Wednesday,
so
I
did
and
I
had
Dearborn
Police
get
rid
of
this
guy
Dearborn
or
Dearborn
Heights
Dearborn
Heights
get
him
I
think
he
got
a
ticket
he's
loitering
on
our
street
all
day
and
sitting
there
in
his
car
waiting
for
somebody
to
want
a
rental
I
mean
they
think
they.
G
B
G
O
G
G
So
they
know
you
can't
catch
you've
got
to
catch
them
in
the
act.
This
goes
on
randomly
all
day.
Long
you'd
have
to
sit
there.
I
work
from
home
I
have
a
very
I
work
for
a
National,
Law,
Firm
I'd
love
to
get
a
lawyer
go
after
these
people,
but
and
channel
4
by
the
way
might
be
coming
out.
I've
already
been
in
contact
with
them.
This
has
to
stop.
This
is
out
of
control,
crazy.
C
R
R
Ray
says
just
the
neighborhood:
it's
got
to
start
with.
You
got
to
hit
them
in
their
pockets,
man,
it's
it's
whatever
the
limit
of
the
law
sets.
That's
the
way
you
stick.
It
should
be
at
not
what
the
city
thinks
they
should
be
our
judges.
If,
honestly,
it
cost
eighty
dollars
to
cut
a
lawn
these
days.
So
what's
a
25
ticket,
it's
cheaper
for
them
to
have
to
go
to
court
and
cut
it
number
two:
is
these
food
trucks
black
these
food
trucks,
the
amount
of
garbage
being
thrown
on
the
streets
from
them
is
ridiculous.
R
H
R
But
they're
but
they're
picking
up
their
stuff
and
the
hours
they're
opening
is
late.
How
does
that?
So?
So,
if,
if
a
store,
if
a
food
truck
is
open
until
one
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
I
wake
up
at
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
there's
trash
in
front
of
my
house,
that
means
and
I
went
to
sleep
at
11
30
and
that
wasn't
there.
What
time
did
that
happen?
L
We
put
a
full
ordinance
together,
it's
before
the
Planning
Commission,
this
Thursday
correct,
not
the
short
temporary
one
that
was
put
in
place,
but
it
covers
that
it
covers
the
timing.
We've
had
requests
to
put
them
at
Canfield,
set
them
up
to
Canfield
Center
till
12.
At
night
we
said:
why
would
we
set
them
up
just
an
example
I'm
just
trying
to
show
you,
we
have
to
respect
the
noise
ordinances.
L
R
Number
three
is
garbage
days
the
day
the
garbage
is
picked
up.
Some
of
these
trash
cans
are
lost
for
three
four
days
after
worst,
ordinance
where's
ordinance
on
trash
days
when
you
guys
come
by
trash
days
or
before
trash
days
or
after
try
days,
I've,
never
seen
an
Ordnance
truck
for
trash
cans
in
the
streets.
C
R
R
C
R
C
Know
everybody's
assigned
an
area
and
they
like
I,
said
before
the
Animal
control
officer
rotates.
We
have
four
full
time:
five
full-time
ones
dedicated
to
Tifa
and
a
person.
That's
in
the
animal
control
truck
is
out
of
their
area
per
se,
but
they
try
to
get
their
enforcements
when
they
can
so
and
Animal.
Control
takes
up
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
enforcement
time.
So.
R
C
B
B
Grass
anymore,
even
the
cul-de-sacs,
are
horrible,
and
when
we
do
a
road,
let's
remove
the
cul-de-sacs,
because
at
one
time
people
would
plant
flowers,
water
and
be
beautiful.
Now,
I
go
by
there
and
I
see
people
sit
on
the
front
porch
and
I.
Ask
myself:
why
are
they
sitting
on
the
front
porch
looking
at
that
mess
and
just
get
rid
of
the
cul-de-sac.
R
Just
miss
this
room
is
for
the
garbage
issue
with
the
garbage
cans.
Why
don't
you
have
set
your
Ordnance
guys,
the
days
of
garbage
day
and
the
day
after
assigned
to
those
areas
the
days
of
the
garbage
cans?
Another
seven
days
are
there
five
days
a
week,
they're
six
days
a
week,
picking
up
garbage,
but
certain
areas,
it's
seriously,
there's
some
people
that
leave
their
garbage
industry
all
week.
Long.
C
R
I
G
C
R
R
I
F
Most
of
you
know
me,
anyway,
I
really
really
like
Miss
ratcher's
idea
about
getting
in
the
community
involved
in
my
neighborhood
I
police,
my
neighborhood,
so
I
finally
gave
so
much
pressure
to
a
drug
house.
They're
moving
they're
fixing
up
the
house
to
sell
it
and
I'm
so
proud
that
I
was
on
them
and
we
all
know
that
the
guy
that
was
robbing
our
neighborhood
I
followed
him
home
because
the
police
went
and
arrest
them
because
it
was
the
middle
of
the
night
and
they
didn't
see
him
do
anything
and
I
said
oh
yeah.
F
Well,
I'll
get
them
so
I
followed
him
home
and
I
rest
them
day
after
day
after
day,
I
went
at
every
neighbor's
house
knocking
on
their
door,
saying
he
is
the
one
robbing
us
and
I
did
it
until
he
moved.
Okay,
I
know
one
of
these
days,
I
will
be
shot.
They
were
they're
going
to
be
sick
of
this,
but
my
neighborhood
is
clean.
The
grass
is
cut
with
the
exception
of
one
neighbor.
F
F
See
if
that's
legal
I
mean
that
would
be
great
and
the
dog
smell
from
the
backyard
and
the
Rats
that
come
out
of
it?
We
should
not
have
to
tolerate
yeah.
It's
huge,
no
I,
don't
think
so,
and
it's
in
the
house
all
the
time,
because
once
again,
I
called
and
called
and
called
and
called
and
all
their
dogs
they
had
so
many
tickets,
that
I
heard
them
scream
at
the
police.
We
can't
pay
all
these
tickets,
but
you
can't
keep
letting
your
animals
run.
F
A
I
I
tell
you
through
listening
today.
One
thing
that's
become
very
apparent
to
me:
is
we
just
don't
have
enough
officers
period,
so
I
am
okay
myself.
Personally,
with
doing
some
sort
of
a
budget
amendment
doesn't
have
to
be
today,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
in
a
month
from
now,
but
we
gotta
add
some
more
employees
and
ordinance.
Four
is
just
not
enough
to
to
run
the
city.
A
Now
in
a
perfect
world
like
Chief,
Jared,
Hart
told
me
one
time
you
know
he
doesn't
have
to
put
any
type
of
an
announcement,
saying,
don't
steal
cars
for
people
to
know
that
they're
not
supposed
to
steal
cars.
People
know
what
they're
not
supposed
to
do,
but
they
do
it
anyways.
It's
unfortunate
that
we
have
to
have
enforcement
to
get
people
to
do
what
they
know.
They're
supposed
to
do
so.
I
I'm
telling
you
right
now
publicly
I'm
all
for
adding
additional
officers.
A
If
you
could
do
maybe-
and
if
you
could
do
an
in-house
assessment
yourself
as
far
as
how
many
officers
you
feel
you
need
to
get
this
job
done
and
I
am
telling
you
here
publicly
because
I
realize
this
is
what
affects
property
values
for
all
of
us.
This
is
what
affects
the
taxes
that
we
are
paying
that
are
going
for
nothing,
and
this
is
what
effects
are
just
mental
state
looking
at
eyesores
and
by
the
way
we
have
them
all
over
the
city.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
property
values.
A
B
It
all
comes
down
to
people
that
don't
care
period,
they
just
don't
care
anymore
and
I,
don't
understand
why
they're
ruining
their
own
City
their
own
neighborhoods,
okay
and
I,
just
truly
don't
understand
and
again
I'm
going
to
get
to
the
point
of
enforcement
once
they
get
the
ticket.
It's
got
to
stand
in
court.
If
the
attorney
that's
hired
that
we
hire
can't
get
a
ticket
to
be
paid,
then
we
need
a
new
attorney
I'm
just
going
to
come
out
and
say
it:
okay,.
A
H
J
J
So
that's
what
I
want
to
add
to
that.
Take
a
look.
This
lady
mentioned
the
airbnbs,
take
a
look
for
the
listings
on
Google
for
airbnbs
and
Dearborn,
as
you'll
probably
see
about
35
of
them,
if
not
more.
Okay.
Also,
the
other
thing
is
that
we
also
have
in
our
rental
companies.
A
lot
of
these
are
corporate
out-of-state
companies
that
have
rental
properties.
In
Dearborn
Heights,
let's
go
after
these
corporations.
Also,
you
know
find
out
who
they
are
start
ticketing
them.
J
L
Let
me
help
you
do
my
job,
but
I
would
say
that
how
we
have
talked
to
the
judges
we
have
talked
to
the
court
officer
you
mentioned
and
I
know.
Probation
is
trying
to
get
the
money
and
we
have
to
work
with
the
county
and
the
state
for
the
funding
to
get
people
from
prisoners
out
there
to
do
the
cleaning.
But.
L
Their
bill
I'm
talking
about
that
as
well,
people
who
can't
pay
Their
fines
right,
you
have
to
be
monitored.
You
have
to
get
arrange
them
to
get
off
work
and
things
like
that.
It
is
complicated.
We
have
talked
about
it,
you
not
just
you
bringing
it
up
now,
I've
gotten
here,
we've
been
trying
to
work
out
a
system
as
well.
Okay,.
L
J
And
also
I
know
that
you're
recently
you're
going
to
be
transferring
over
to
the
police
department.
That's
great
I
think
you
guys
should
be
working
hand
in
hand
years
back.
I
know
it
was
under
the
supervision
of
the
PD,
but
also
I,
don't
recall
if
it
was
put
into
the
budget
or
not,
but
these
men
and,
ladies
that
go
out
and
deal
with
the
ordinances.
They
need
a
body
cam.
J
I
Okay,
I've
been
waiting,
my
turn
Nancy
Breyer
resident
and
council
person,
speaking
Colgate
Street
Dearborn
Heights
playing
off
what
Ray
said
about
the
courts.
I
did
my
very
first
foia
last
year
and
it
was
for
a
lady
who
lived
on
Eaton,
Street
and
the
house.
It's
offensive
is
a
burned
out
home
on
the
Southeast
corner
of
Hopkins
and
Janet.
I
That
happens
to
be
a
landlord
who
has
three
homes
in
the
neighborhood
I
know
of
two
locations
one's
on
Gully
in
this
one
he
keeps
saying
he's
going
to
fix.
It
he's
ordered
to
go
to
court.
They
give
him
90
days.
This
has
happened
three
or
four
times
so
we've
got
to
get
the
courts
to
follow
through
and
not
let
these
guys
off
the
hook.
This
guy
keeps
saying
he's
going
to
repair.
The
rats
are
there.
I
Everything
else
is
going
on,
and
this
lady
has
to
put
up
with
this
every
single
day
and
that's
a
real
problem.
I'll
get
the
address
to
you
and
we
can
check
it
again,
but
I'm
sure
that
building
is
still
in
disrepair,
and
this
was
over
a
year
ago.
So
I
just
want
to
mention
that
we
need
help
with
the
courts
to
follow
through,
as
well
as
the
ordinance
officers
doing
their
job.
Thank
you
thank.
L
L
The
fines,
I
don't
know
I,
don't
control
the
judge.
Okay,
but
I
think
it's
it's
not
just
one
group
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
teamwork
to
look
at
addressing
this
issue
once
you
mention
the
courts
and
I'm
open
for
it.
If
Miss
Muscat
wants
to
sit
with
me,
we
can
schedule
a
time
to
talk
with
the
judges
and
then
get
an
address.
L
B
M
Rosemary
Dearborn
Heights.
Thank
you
Ray
for
putting
this
this.
You
know
on
this
agenda.
It's
a
very
important
issue
and
driving
around
the
city.
Looking
at
the
businesses,
even
they
have
big
trash.
You
know
containers
and
you
see
all
the
garbage
it's
on
the
street
on
the
ground
and
you
see
some
of
them
with
rats
around
them.
This
is
a
big
problem
too,
but
it's
not
their
fault.
Only
I
just
want
to
ask
you
how
many
officers
you
have
full
time
and
how
many
officers
you
have
part-time.

C

A

L
A
comparison
between
Dearborn,
Heights
and
Dearborn,
exactly
with
the
fees
we
have
to
balance
other
things
out,
we're
talking
up
with
the
new
changes,
but
we
put
a
spreadsheet
together
with
both
all
the
fines.
Dearborn
has
all
the
fines
we
have.
We
did
the
numbers.
We
came
up
with
this
change
right
now,
which
hadn't
been
done
in
20
years,
but
we're
not
stopping
okay,.
M
A
Thank
you
very
much,
ladies
and
gentlemen.
I
I
do
I,
do
want
to
say
something
keep
in
mind.
This
is
just
a
starting
point.
This
is
not
going
to
be
the
end.
All
we're
not
going
to
solve
everything
tonight.
There's
still
a
lot
of
things
to
be
worked
on,
like
I
said
in
a
perfect
world
residents
would
just
take
care
of
things.
Take
care
of
things
on
their
own,
but
I'm
gonna
tell
you
guys
as
a
realtor.
A
These
residents
are
not
taking
care
of
their
houses
easily,
and
somebody
could
probably
attest
to
this
they're
getting
20
30
percent
drop
in
value
when
their
homes
look
like
crap
all
day.
So
you
take
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
home
and
you
take
somebody
that
has
a
homework
on
the
outside,
like
some
of
these
pictures
comes
from
a
musket
showed
me.
A
If,
if
I
walk
into
assess
that
property,
it's
automatically
70
80
Max,
because
it's
a
mess
nobody's
going
to
want
to
buy
it,
it's
going
to
sell
for
20
30
less
that
way
you
lowballed
mine,
so
so
for
your
own
sake,
take
care
of
your
property,
but
for
your
own
neighbors
to
be
good
citizens.
I
mean
like
this
thing.
Hassan
Saab
said
today:
I
mean
I,
never
thought
about
like
who
thinks
of
this
stuff,
like
all
they
just
leave
their
garbage
on.
They
just
keep
bringing
it
out
every
day.
A
A
Out
anyways,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
again.
This
is
not
the
end.
I'll
be
all.
This
is
just
a
starting
point,
but
I'm
glad
we
put
it
on
the
administration's
radar
and
again
I'm
all
for
adding
additional
officers.
Let's
start
put
together
some
sort
of
a
plan,
send
it
to
all
the
council,
members
and
administration,
and
let's
see
if
we
can
maybe
add
additions.
