Dear commissioners, I am writing concerning the case of gloriana moore.

C

Which originated as a traffic stop in pontiac michigan.

C

On may 8 and is now exacerbated into a 50th district court.

C

Felony case scheduled before judge martinez.

C

On october 22nd 2020, I am speaking only for myself as a.

C

Concerned citizen, I am a 57 year old white male career.

C

Engineer in the auto industry, I have no valid interest in politics for.

C

Oakland county government. My statement is, however, influenced by.

C

The following channel 7 detroit news report, skilled.

C

Reporting documenting a troubling peace, interaction between miss moore.

C

And the oakland county sheriff's department, the news reporting introduction a woman violently pulled from her car.

C

Then, falsely charged with a crime was substantiated by the dash cam video.

C

Shown expert consultant questions, interviews.

C

Conducted and documents revealed the segment.

C

Posted on youtube is 184 000 views and 2079 comments.

C

Mostly negative, the united states conference of catholic.

C

Bishops wrote in response to the death of george floyd. Racism is not a thing of the past or.

C

C

Leaders take stand against racism june 3rd.

C

2020., the automotive ceos and other industry leaders.

C

Vows of the principles reject all forms of bias.

C

Racism, sexism, violence within our companies and communities.

C

Relative to government officials, every person must be held accountable for.

C

Their actions eliminate any possibility of conflicts.

C

Of interest in the course of the judicial process.

C

Without plans and policies that transform the disparities that exist.

C

Within these communities, as we remain partners, both supposedly.

C

And nationally do not equate the george floyd case with.

C

The gloriana more case, but relate them by peace interactions.

C

That were unnecessarily escalated with needless violence injected by the.

C

Police, this more miss moore's case is our local wake-up call.

C

We now easily fit into a national list of shame by the numbers.

C

In minneapolis minnesota meeting with the pleads for breathing space.

C

Gets you nine minutes of a fatal knee to your neck.

C

In kenosha wisconsin getting into your family vehicle against peace order.

C

They get you seven paralyzing bullets shot into your back.

C

And now in oakland, county michigan within 10 seconds.

C

Thank you. Thank you, patrick um then. Next we have lisa brown. That's.

C

On the meeting that would like to speak and then we have a live room that will.

B

Call up in sequence,.

B

Thank you. um I just wanted to address the news story that.

B

I'm sure all of you saw um regarding the move ballots.

B

And the um the errors on that and ensure that everybody knows that.

B

That was not a county program that is a state program that has nothing.

B

To do with how our broke our ballots were pro: our machines were.

B

Programmed how our ballots were printed, it's totally separate. I know I received.

B

Emails about sample ballots being incorrect as well.

B

Again, that is not the county's program that is at the.

B

State level and the state has corrected that our ballots are all fine. They have everything correct. I just want everybody.

B

To know that, and I held yesterday was national voter.

B

Registration day I held draw uh drive through voter registration and.

B

I had a woman come who showed me a mail piece um and questioned me about it and.

B

The information that was on it and it didn't have a disclosure on it.

B

But the like postage pay thing said from california and it had.

B

Incorrect information on it- and I just want everyone to be.

B

Weary of things that they get from unknown sources from misinformation and.

B

Disinformation and it said that you could get a ballot.

B

From your county clerk starting september 20th, first of all, you.

B

Don't get your ballot from your county clerk and, second of all, the the time frame for that is september. 24Th in michigan.

B

So, starting tomorrow, people will be able to get their ballots.

B

um If they want in person from their local clerks, their city and township,.

B

Clerks and you do not return your ballots to the county clerk again, that is to your city and township clerk.

B

Michigan is different than 46 other states, 46 states.

B

All do it at the county level. We don't so please question.

B

Mail that you get from an unknown source and if you have any questions.

B

Feel free to call my office for clarification on something.

B

C

Thank you so first up um they'll announce themselves and come.

C

Up to the mic and I'll reset the timer.

C

What's your name in the community you're.

C

C

Georgia mcgee from pontiac michigan, you guys heard me spoke last time at the.

C

Meeting on zoom, but you couldn't see my face.

C

Thank you for this opportunity, but, however, I am the first.

C

Social worker in history to be recalling yes for report illegal activity and.

C

The last retelling issue that occurred to me was in november.

C

2017 and I am seeking a court date with judge mark to end corruption in.

C

Retaliation that has occurred to me because what's happening, the probate.

C

Judges has been misled. What happened about my social worker.

C

History and career and will add up to the false.

C

Imprisonment and also I am a victim of imprisonment,.

C

And health care for all that is happening out here in oakland county.

C

I'm not going to disclose the parties, but, however, there's going to be an.

C

Upcoming big documentary and I'm going to write a book about this here.

C

So be on the lookout and once again I want a court hearing.

C

With walmart to clear my name, so I can get back to work.

C

God bless you all.

G

Hi, I don't see me, but my name is jody white.

G

I too am a victim of um abuse, retaliation.

G

You might have three things: I'd like to talk with you um today. It's really an.

G

Update awareness and education I'm going back to some of the agendas that.

G

um Your legislative affairs and government operational committees.

G

Brought to the um commissioners.

G

They made aware of some of the poor mismanagement. That's out there.

G

Some of it is in probate court. uh Your um you guys were able to reestablish an.

G

Oakland county human trafficking task force.

G

To obtain 90 000 to help expose the human trafficking, and we.

G

Have human trafficking reports um we've we've been here a.

G

Couple of years now years- and um you you've heard this.

G

Before so, I'm also here to bring up another really huge point on 12 5 2018. There's the board of.

G

Commissioners, joanne strongfellow, she was brought in an email with.

G

Resolution 95068, he appointed ed hutton to the job.

G

Evaluation review now this was a couple months after.

G

Some of the court employees went to my jury trial and said that um I was in their personal space.

G

When I wanted to write an incident report, they all knew. I wanted to write.

G

An incident report and instead of helping me, they pushed an emergency button and then a sheriff did the same thing. She came in.

G

Told me she was going to help me with an instant report and did not so this job.

G

Evaluation review panel sounds awesome, ed hutton's in it really.

G

No and under sheriff michael mccabe with two other members, the panel is supposed to be over with on.

G

12 30 120.. I would like to get access to the job.

G

Evaluation review guidelines. I would like to see what.

G

Evaluations did happen with the people that were involved with myself.

G

And some of the other people here that are not a petition.

G

They have a petition they're, not getting their hearing. There's. Definitely some.

G

Mismanagement, the last and final thing I'd like to bring up.

C

Excuse me you're good, I'm sorry, uh commissioners mike went live. Please.

A

Continue this way, so thank you so much. The last thing is.

G

Senate bill 790, I want to thank senator unsaid, uh ruth johnson and tom barrett.

G

They are oakland county state, rep, state senators and the.

G

Judiciary committee, we have been walking with them regarding.

G

The senate bill 790 they're, making it very clear that that.

G

We must have some video management here. We have 4.3 million dollars worth of.

G

Video equipment, some of it, went missing when the sheriff did decide to hurt me, but at the end of the day, 4.3 million.

G

Dollars is a lot of money for videos and they're, saying that a video.

G

Recording must be available for public access and it must be a complete.

G

Reporting of all public portions of the court proceedings.

G

And not to be edited to remove. There is a big part.

G

Not to remove any portion of the reporting that was viewable to any of.

G

The individuals who are physically presented at the proceeding, so in closing, I want to talk to mr.

G

uh Weipert he was in a court hearing in january.

G

He heard judge o'brien, say very egregious things about.

G

um Attorney general, and about um the people that have been coming and.

G

Asking and asking and asking for an internal audit, an investigation.

G

Of our probate, this company, here the commissioners you.

G

Guys do pay the rent and you do pay for the court. Employees.

G

So we appreciate all this that you have in place, but we would follow through with it and make sure that we're seeing the evaluations, a lot of people would like to have their day in court.

G

And their names cleared. Thank you so much.

G

E

My name is jeff white, and um I have been here speaking in regards to the probate.

E

Report issue, for probably my fourth time in a couple of years,.

E

uh At least a good handful- and I I do want to thank mr gingle.

E

A couple years back that he uh did start out by.

E

Sending out a letter to, um I think it was.

E

And things of that nature trying to show that we did have a little bit of a.

E

Question anyhow with the probate court, but then uh things kind of came back.

E

With um there's a lot of misinformation and the.

E

So status know mr mack has been taken away to another.

E

Area of the courts and uh in my opinion he is a faceless.

E

Bureaucrat, but uh that's just my opinion of him, but my story: I I've.

E

Told a lot of you uh by two years ago and um I'm not gonna.

E

Bore you with it, because you know I never heard back from a lot of people.

E

And uh after being at the probate court, though, this january january, 15th of.

E

This year of 2020, before the covid situation,.

E

I went, I witnessed the commissioner and it was a.

E

Commissioner, mr gate, there and I thought for one moment, I thought.

E

Wow, maybe folks, these, ladies and gentlemen, are actually.

E

Court watching doing something in regards to.

E

The probate issues that are taking place, the the massive billing and the.

E

Side, dealings with some of the insiders that.

E

The judges have up there and I'm gonna name those insiders. Mr ehrlich.

E

Mr frazier, because they have done me a deal on my.

E

Father's, probably worth 1.8 million dollars and they're, probably 90,.

E

All the way you know, they've mopped it up pretty good. Now.

E

And- uh and um I believe the judge actually put my wife.

E

In jail, if anybody ever wants to see that video.

E

It's a it's a woman with her uh voice.

E

Counting for freedom of speech see it on there.

E

um And she's up there and she doesn't say anything to the judge. But this.

E

Judge just there and uh rips her apart and then after she leaves.

E

um Tackled out in the hallway and all the film disappears so anyhow, I'm.

E

Gonna um who's out here, ladies and gentlemen, with.

E

You know just saying that you know the massive.

E

Billing and the unethical self dealings in the probate court still.

E

Continue, I'm elated about one thing in this. This.

E

County here, and that is that jessica cooper is not.

E

Being elected and I do believe these courts need to be.

E

Have some overlap and reform? Thank you.

F

Thank you, sir.

E

Hi my name's tom howe, I'm from genesee county and.

E

From fatten just outside of northern oakland county.

E

I've come here a couple times before and tomorrow I have to go to a funeral for a.

E

Friend's mom, who was taken here as a ward of the.

E

State several years ago, in her estate pillaged.

E

And destroyed and finally, at 95 years old, her mom died.

E

In a nursing home against her will and her son hasn't seen.

E

Her in years so just to bring this hall home here.

E

You have a health and safety and human services committee.

E

You also have a pandemic response and economic recovery committee by david t.

E

Woodward we have nursing homes and assisted livings right now, where.

E

Family members cannot be finally a week ago, got visitation and.

E

They have to stay six feet apart, but what's been going on behind the.

E

Scenes as family members been taking them to doctor's visits.

E

And they're out for hours at a time and who knows.

E

What kind of cobia 19 potential possibility? All these family members.

E

Have taking them to doctors and things, homes and assisted livings.

E

Don't have personnel who are certified, coveted free to take these.

E

People to the doctors, even if there's any extra expense visitations at windows, that.

E

You've got to crack and there's no seat. There's a lot of issues here.

E

Going on- and my part of this is that oakland county being the epicenter of.

E

Corruption in the united states of america here in probate, courts.

E

With early fraser monger, young incarna and the four judges.

E

Here have taken over my county genesee county, along with.

E

All the other companies surrounding oakland county.

E

Now I want to just tell you: my mom is 93 years old and she was enslaved illegally.

E

By genesee county due to the corruption here in oakland, county.

E

And all these courts around here how to steal people and it's time now in.

E

Oakland county that you take control of this because.

E

The state isn't coming to the rescue, the attorney general isn't coming to the.

E

Rescue the supreme court is not coming to the rescue.

E

The supreme court asked the probate judges here. The scao.

E

Forms that they use for the state of support.

E

um Forms that they use in probate court they say. Is there anything wrong with.

E

Them well, no, there's nothing wrong with them.

E

We like the way they are. Of course they do because they're just open-ended blank forms that allow them not to follow the.

E

State law, they can write anything they want into them. There's nobody checking any of these forms.

E

And you have the ability just like detroit, does.

E

To write your own forms and put them into law, you also need to take over.

E

All the guardianships in oakland county you've just had.

E

I don't know upwards of 1400 people slaughtered.

E

In nursing homes, for no reason in the last several months and maybe.

E

It's hot higher than that, so this needs to all end and you guys.

E

Truly need to take control of this issue once and for all. We've been here for two.

E

Years and you haven't given us our due and we.

E

Need to commit- and this needs to end- and we need to start this process here- taking control and showing that county.

E

Is really the best county in the state? Thank you.

C

Thank you, sir.

G

G

G

In holly, I have uh been here several times.

G

To give me a hearing, they gave me a hearing originally on march.

G

25Th that got canceled because of the corona 19.

G

Virus and then I had a date back on august 27th and of course, they said that.

G

They emailed me to cancel it because of the way.

G

Mr ehrlich sent out the the new hearing date he didn't send out.

G

The instructions well, I I uh objected to the dates and most of.

G

The horrendous things that the court has done in that regard and.

G

They use that against me, uh so I wanted that on the record in.

G

Case I have to go to the courts of appeal because it looks.

G

Like that's what you have to do here, because there's no justice.

G

But anyhow, I finally got a hold of christine.

G

Wade, who is the attorney to judge callahan.

G

And I have been asking and begging for a new date.

G

Since august 27th, as well as asking them, please not to go forward with mr.

G

Thomas brandon frazier's accounting since I have frozen the assets.

G

I am the sole heir to this estate. They do not want to give me a.

G

Date they keep jerking me around. I think I've told.

G

All of you that I have severe dyslexia and now they're using that against me.

G

And I know that because christine wade told me that.

G

She was going to give me a date and she did.

G

God bless her, she sent it to me and it says here that.

G

She's going to have the hearing for me to admit the will.

G

And that's going to be on november 14th. Well, I don't think that I'll be.

G

Available on saturday, since that's the sabbath, so you're.

G

Jerking me around uh the the paperwork that I submitted.

G

She absolutely crossed it out and made her.

G

Own paperwork up in her own words of what she thought should take place.

G

All I'm asking is for them is to look at the will and admit it. I.

G

Want to be the personal rep, it's my stuff, not only.

G

Is the estate half mine before we even before, even get to the part of where I.

G

Inherit is half I worked for everything there. It's mine.

G

I want it. Mr erlick and frasier are not entitled.

G

To my things, and neither is jennifer being the judge, uh they want.

G

Stuff, you need to go out and order themselves, but I want my estate.

G

And I'm asking you to step in and follow this case.

G

Because you're going to see the corruption up close and personal.

G

Thank you very much. Thank you. Victoria.

C

We have one final um live um audience that would like to speak.

C

Anybody and then you can see yourself here.

C

G

Well, I'm gonna start by saying praise the lord, because I I'm really blessed to.

G

And hope that he's allowed me to be here to speak.

G

On behalf of those that have already spoken.

G

Already I have uh witnessed the court system and how.

G

Unjustly the injustice that have been done to each of these.

G

People that have uh given you, their life, history and but a short snippet.

G

And so I want to share with all of you that are sitting on that.

G

Panel now because you're not there because you're so great.

G

You're not there because you're better than anybody else. That's here.

G

But you're there, because you have a high calling on you that god has given to.

G

Each and every one of you and that comes from romans, 13.

G

And it goes like let every soul be subject unto the higher powers for there.

G

Is no power, but of god so, while you're sitting there and you're listening to.

G

These stories they're crying out and asking you guys.

G

For help, I myself am finding myself in a situation where.

G

I've just become the guardian of my mother, she's 88 years old.

G

I would hate to think or even dream whether it come out to be a a day mayor.

G

Or nightmare that I would be in a court and have.

G

Someone to put such stress and oppress.

G

Me when my mother is concerned, someone that's dear to all of our hearts. Our.

G

Moms, you know we get a whole lot of strength for my parents, and so I'm appealing to you guys.

G

Please, and I'm so grateful that whoever that was that opened that.

G

Meeting with that prayer, I thank god for you.

G

So I know I was led to also bring back romans 13 to you, because none of you are.

G

Sitting there on your own, the merits just please remember that you're sitting there and you're listening to all of these.

G

Complaints and you're listening to all of the stories.

G

There are answers, but you're there to help these people bring.

G

All this nightmarish mess to an end, prayerfully it'd, be a good one. Thank you.

G

For your time and just remember, you guys have to sit.

G

Also before that, great god, his name is jesus christ, and you ended that prayer.

C

To offer can we uh get staff to pull it up on.

C

A

Assume that silence is agreement also, what page is it on.

C

On the agenda, no one like ours.

C

C

Excuse me 4.55.

C

Now correct uh miss commissioner jackson.

C

Mr chair, this amendment will assign two million dollars for the tri-party.

C

Road improvement program and two million.

C

Dollars for the local road improvement matching program.

C

With the intended purpose of assisting our cities, villages.

C

And townships with the construction and maintenance and repair.

C

Of roads, as we all know, these funds continue successful programs to repair.

C

And maintain our roads in partnership with our local communities.

A

uh Commissioner, nelson moves is there a second.

A

Second, second by commissioner gingell, um any discussion on the uh amendment.

I

Yes, mr chair, hey commissioner taub, um I'm just curious why you have to.

I

Remember this, this wasn't in the budget.

C

So it is um we're inserting I'm sorry we're inserting the following.

C

uh Be it further resolved, so what was just on the screen.

C

Commissioner taub um is the insert of an additional.

G

uh Be it for the resolves clause? Thank you. I understand it perfectly well,.

I

I can read, however, I'm wondering why, after all.

I

These years g since 1990.

I

uh Three, it was taken out of the budget. Why does the budget have to be amended.

A

um Commit I I I'd be happy to answer that question.

A

On the budget as presented and remember, this is a.

A

uh Assignment a fund balance uh we appropriate these things on an annual.

A

Basis, and so this is an assignment of fund balance, action.

A

uh By doing this, it continues the program.

A

As we into the exact levels of the current fiscal year that we're in.

I

Well, my question is, I don't recall it. Maybe I better ask the previous chair if we ever voted on an amendment like.

I

This for for repairing roads in in the.

I

Community, one, I think, is tri-party and the other.

I

Is um I forgot the name of it, but.

I

Local world, probably it has always, as I recall.

I

Been part of the budget we've never had to amend it.

I

So, if you're amending something, obviously it was left out.

I

My question is: why was it left out? Is there someone from the administration.

I

Who can tell me why, commissioner and commissioner did you.

A

Want to speak to this, um we, this is an assignment of fund.

A

Balance, this is not an appropriation, so there you have the appropriate budget and on a regular basis, we would take.

A

Action to assign fund balance, whether during the budget process or at.

A

The close of books and um at the end of the fiscal.

A

Year, usually, I mean obviously september 30th being the last.

A

Day of the fiscal year um and uh signing fund balances in.

A

Action that you usually would take place in december.

I

Okay, but this original this was never part of the.

I

This was never voted on this way as an amendment to the budget.

I

That I recall, as I recall it, did not come from the fund.

I

Balance but it was part of the regular budget.

I

Thank you. No, I mean we've, it's never been part of the budget. It's always been.

A

An assigned fund balance um and um we need to take action, and I.

A

Mean I think that there's broad consensus that want to support it and that's why this amendment has been offered to let it be known the attention.

A

Is to allocate two million dollars to try party on the next fiscal year as.

A

Well, as two million dollars to the local road improvement program, so.

A

That these two programs can continue to provide that matching fund support.

A

To our local communities and mr chair, I don't know if I could offer a little.

C

History here, having been with the board for a number of years, this has been an annual routine actually.

C

Between the county executive, regardless of who has held the office of county.

C

Executive and the legislative branch- um it's regularly not been.

C

Included in the long-term plan, and then we put it back.

C

In again, uh including last year's budget.

I

Mr chairman, why wasn't it put in back in committee? I'm, commissioner.

A

um I mean there's an amendment before us to amend the budget.

A

A

A question describe community policing. For me, please.

A

uh Well anything commissioner markham can jump in, but let me.

A

Say that this is uh the administration plans to bring forth.

A

Proposal in october, in partnership with the community foundation, southeast.

A

Michigan community policing is a strategy of engaging the community.

A

In joint collegium with law enforcement that the community's a foundation for.

A

Southeast michigan is um is planning to provide some grants to.

A

Local communities who want to voluntarily opt into this, uh these additional funds will make it possible for more communities to.

A

Voluntarily participate and provide technical support and assistance.

A

In helping helping support that, thank you and again, this is just a this.

A

Is an assignment upon balance? This is not an appropriation. There will be an appropriation request coming forth uh and expect. In october the administration will be bringing.

A

Forth a proposal on a contract um to uh utilize these funds.

I

Mr chair, um I got commissioner gingell, then commissioner, taub.

A

Commissioner, yes, thank you. I just um I'm curious. Has the sheriff been.

F

Consulted or um been integral in the development of.

F

This concept and the and the amendment that's.

F

Being brought forward relative to the private partnership and the activities.

F

Within I believe, the administration has been in contact with the sheriff's.

A

Office? Yes, then, if I may, mr chair, oh.

C

Commissioner, yes, commissioner, to respond to that.

A

Question and I'll go to commissioner taub. That's! Okay! um It's my understanding!.

B

That there is an existing organization that.

C

Consists of law enforcement, uh membership from.

E

Around the region, including uh the police chief of novi.

E

But there's also a number of uh sheriffs that.

G

And other police organizations in the region that are.

C

Already exist and the intention is to work in concert with them and support.

E

Further efforts to engage in community policing.

A

Commissioner taub, then, commissioner middleton, thank you. I want to be assured that the.

I

Largest police force in the county has access.

I

To this funding, when it happens on the sheriff's department.

I

Has the largest police force, I believe, in the county.

I

And uh does patrol a good portion of it, so I want to rest.

I

Assured mr chair, before I vote on this, that they too will be able to.

I

Participate in this, thank you right, yeah, all right.

A

Commissioner taub to that point um again, this is also an assigned fund.

A

Balance um any action to appropriate any monies would come before us and I.

A

Believe there'll be plenty of opportunity to ensure participation from as many local communities as possible.

A

uh Commissioner middleton, you had your hand up, I believe as well. Oh.

C

Yes, I was concerned that this money was going out of the county.

C

To other police forces and to top tabs perspective.

E

Let's make sure that oakland county share our.

E

Police officers are included in this or get the majority of.

C

The benefit from it. Thank you uh yes, um commissioner,.

A

Middleton to that point, um this is to help support agencies in.

A

Oakland county: this is not money going beyond there. It will support agencies.

Document presented on the 23rd to direct to a sign, 400 000.

The purpose of priority environmental remediation.

C

Assigned from fund balance moved by commissioner mcgillivray.

A

A

Commissioner miller, um that's the last one: that's in the packet for people need.

A

To see it, we can put up on the screen as well. Any discussion.

A

um The staff can put that amendment up on the board.

C

Thank you would be appreciated, commissioner hoffman. You need your hand.

A

Up, I'm just questioning what particular.

C

Cleanup are we talking about.

A

um Commissioner, mcgillivray.

C

Yeah thanks: uh it's uh the electrical plating company on 10 mile and madison.

C

Heights, um they have three buildings, and this.

C

Will will be helping them out to tear down the the two buildings? uh The major building uh will be.

C

uh Paid for through the eagle state.

C

Thank you, mr chair commission, uh commissioner taub followed by.

A

Commissioner long, thank you. um I think this is, I think.

I

This is a very good idea, but I'm wondering if the county since.

I

The county is paying for two out of three buildings, as I understood correctly, if I understood correctly rather.

I

That we would somehow take a lean on the property and the money.

I

From the sale of the property, after it's all nice and cleaned up and.

I

Spick and span- and you know like your kitchen floor, I hope.

I

um We get some money back on it. Has that been thought of yet mr chair.

C

That's my understanding that there would be a lien. Yes,.

A

Commissioner mcgillivray answered that question.

I

What did he, what did he say? It's, my understanding that there would be a lane.

C

Put on the property uh excuse me now, mr chair, may I ask.

I

Another question through you yeah, certainly, uh commissioner taub, okay.

I

Will oakland county be named in that lien? It's my understanding that.

C

They would okay. Will you make sure that happens.

I

Commissioner, mcgillivray again, this is an assignment, so it'll.

C

Come back before the board at that time. Okay, thank you right, commissioner. Long.

C

I'm sorry, I'm not real familiar with this amendment so.

C

Were they not able to apply for brownfield for this.

C

Why are we appropriating county funding? It seems like a brownfield.

C

Project to me, I'm not that familiar with that.

A

Certainly yeah I mean I can give some background as well.

A

Remember this is a assignment of fund balance and so.

A

A proposal will a resolution will come forward to appropriate the dollars like.

A

Commissioner mcgillivray said um this is the green ooze project, the.

A

National I got gained national attention that was seeping out.

A

um The court has ordered the owner of the property to tear down these.

A

Buildings, buildings have to be torn down to fully remediate the process. The owner does not have the resources to.

A

Tear it down which falls on the city to figure out how to tear it down the.

A

City doesn't have the resources state has pledged to tear down as a.

A

Commissioner mcgillivray said like the main building: it wasn't an.

A

Appropriation there I mean pre-covid, a state.

A

Appropriation to do that that got vetoed hopefully being put back.

A

We don't know the full cost of all these things, yet the other two buildings which.

A

Have I believe, at a smaller cost, given their size, this is to set some.

A

Money aside, shouldn't be on the hook for all of it to help tear those things down and, as commissioner taub was talking, I'll, put a lien on the property and then, if the properties, whenever it's sold or whatever the gear I mean.

A

To get our money back and all that basically helping front the money, so we.

A

Can tear down and clean up the site that um well green oozed at christmas time in.

A

696. Thank you any further discussions.

A

Affirmative the amendment is adopted um and that I believe it concludes all.

A

The amendments that I see here and so I will hand the floor.

A

Back over to commissioner zack to.

A

Speak to speak to the question, which is the.

A

Fiscal year, 2021 general appropriations act in 2021.

A

County general property tax rate. Thank you. First of all, I want to thank.

D

All of the finance committee members and the staff, particularly our fiscal.

D

Analyst mike andrews staff, extraordinaire.

D

For all of your hard work, we conducted 21 budget hearings.

D

But before we even get to the budget hearing.

D

You know the county administration met with departments.

D

Created the budget that they presented and then.

D

Our staff helped draft thoughtful, provoking questions that were.

D

Submitted ahead of time to the different departments, after that.

D

Was done when they came in, we also had staff analysis. We had.

D

Basically, a two page: I called it my cheat sheet.

D

That gave me a whole summary of the department revenues, expenses.

D

And questions that they had, while looking at it.

D

So we had a lot of tools to conduct the hearings.

D

Throughout the hearings, we had very thoughtful questions that were.

D

Asked and everyone had an opportunity, hopefully to address all of.

D

Their concerns of the particular budget, so, as the chair of finance, I ask you to.

D

Vote for the recommended budget for the fiscal year 20 to 21, to 20 to.

D

23., this is a fiscally responsible and.

D

Realistic budget, in which revenues, equal expenditures.

D

It's based on a conservative property assessments.

D

And economic projections obtained from many.

D

Experts, unlike in prior years, none of the fund balance has been used.

D

To balance the 2021 budget, the goal in the 2022 and 2023.

D

Is to continue to loom, uh eliminate the use of the fund balance.

D

I firmly believe that not using the fund balance to pay for ongoing operations.

D

Is a more conservative and prudent approach to budgeting.

D

This is truth and budgeting strategy that aims for more realistic projections.

D

Of revenues and expenses, this is not just my opinion when we.

D

Met with s p and moody's earlier this year,.

D

They said we had addressed both s p and moody's. Question.

D

About budgeted revenues being underestimated.

D

And budgeted expenses being overestimated.

D

Furthermore, the fund balance will remain healthy.

D

And robust in the three-year budget and during future years.

D

We do not intend to spend on the fund balance.

D

Unless and until the board of commissioners decides to appropriate.

D

Some funds for critical one-time investment.

D

Such as technology over the last week, I have reached out to many commissioners.

D

Especially those in the republican side of the aisle to answer budget questions, listen to their concerns and.

D

Ask for their support of the budget, I'm not sure you need to.

D

Say, oh okay. Yes, we have a tremendous. We have had tremendous changes during.

D

This term of office, we have new county executive following.

D

The passing of l brooks patterson executive dave.

D

Coulter has assembled a new ex leadership team, a bipartisan.

D

Delegation met with the bond rating agencies.

D

Where our triple a bond rating was sustained.

D

Shortly after the bond review meeting an unprecedented pandemic.

D

Hit that absolutely no one could have predicted.

D

The covid 19 virus changed our world and particularly.

D

How we do our daily business in oakland, county.

D

The receipt of 219 million dollars of cares money from the federal.

D

Government is a blessing and somewhat of a curse.

D

While the money allows the county to invest in.

D

In many important health, business and community initiatives.

D

It also adds many hours of commission work.

D

And weekly meetings on an emergent basis and on top of all this like every year.

D

We must approve a budget for the next three years.

D

And appropriate the funding for next year's operations.

D

Despite obstacles, challenges and political differences along the way.

D

We've always come together for the betterment of oakland county.

D

My hope is that we can do that again tonight.

D

Adopting the budget is one of the most important things we do.

D

As commissioners, it is the tool that guides and supports our county.

D

Operations for the coming years, a yes vote on the budget is truly.

D

Important, it shows the rating agencies that we.

D

Come together to support a sound and fiscally.

D

Responsible budget favorable ratings will help oakland.

D

County bond out projects at lower rates- I know that.

D

There is a strong interest in building a police training.

D

And dispatch center, which would require bonding a yes vote.

D

Supports the important county services of health.

D

Public safety, emergency response and more.

D

I implore all of you to come together to vote. Yes,.

D

And support our residents with funding our important county services.

D

Support our valuable employees and move oakland county forward together.

D

As our county exec said, it's oakland together.

D

Let's work together to pass a unanimous budget tonight.

D

Like we have done in the past, thank you.

A

Thank you, uh commissioner. Zack. Is there any further discussion.

A

Commissioner gingell. Thank you, mr chair. uh I appreciate the comments from the.

F

Finance chair, the republican caucus has studied the.

F

Budget as well, and we a number of us, have also studied.

F

The? U of m report and the comments from the experts that were mentioned and we actually have the following: takeaways.

F

From the expert comments listed in the materials.

F

That a lot of our budget assumptions were based on to my knowledge. So one of the takeaways is that the county job losses in the.

F

Second, quarter of 2020 uh totaled nearly the sum of job losses.

F

Between 2000 and 2009., there was also a comment made.

F

That the oakland county economic recovery is leaning on an uncertain future of the pandemic and additional.

F

Federal aid our own governor, has been on the record.

F

Saying that if the state of michigan does not get additional federal aid.

F

They're going to have trouble and problems, and that will trickle down to.

F

Us at oakland county with revenue sharing, which was not addressed in this budget. The.

F

Additional comments made from the gentleman at university of michigan and.

F

Those in that study says that there continues to be substantial uncertainty.

F

Surrounding the nation's economic prospects and the outlook for oakland.

F

County is no different. He went on to say that we have had.

F

Several strong assumptions about the future course of the pandemic.

F

And the federal economic policy response to produce the oakland county forecast.

F

If those assumptions turn out to be incorrect,.

F

Oakland county's economy is likely to evolve differently.

F

Than we have forecasted, it is for these reasons that a number of us will not be.

F

Able to support this budget as we see it as nothing more than a.

F

Continuation budget from 2019 and 2020 that does not adequately.

F

Take into account the significant negative impact.

F

That covid19 is likely to have on our economy.

F

It is inconsistent with how we handled the budget.

F

In 2007 and 2008, and at that time we saw the storm clouds on the horizon.

F

And we planned for them. We did not just continue forward with our heads in the.

F

Sand this budget is unwise and is short-sighted in our opinion. Thank you, mr chair.

A

Thank you, commissioner. Is there any further discussion.

A

Is that someone raising their hand zack.

A

Commissioner zack, so I want to do a rebuttal on that. You know. I know.

D

That this, first of all, the numbers on property.

D

Assessment so were conservative.

D

Forecast, we definitely went under the numbers.

D

When it came to the economic forecast, they were talking about 1.4 growth.

D

And this budget was formulated on .08 growth, so it was a very conservative.

D

Underestimated budget, as we entered you know, went forward.

D

So we really based our expenses and revenues on a much more.

D

Conservative number than the economists were forecasting.

D

And I do want to say that we did cut expenses.

D

You know that department, you know going into.

D

The budget were asked to cut their. You know their expenses and.

D

I'm looking at our clerk who gave up her deputy county clerk position.

D

And cut other things in her budget, so there were budget tests that reduced the.

D

Expenses as we move forward, so I would disagree. This is a very.

D

Conservative fiscally prudent budget and we are.

D

Always looking ahead, every quarter, we are reviewing.

D

Favorability expenses and um looking ahead and if necessary, we.

D

Will pull in our belt more? It should move forward.

A

Okay, all right, thank you, commissioner zack um commissioner gingell. For a second time.

F

Thank you, mr chair. I appreciate the commissioner uh comments from.

F

Commissioner zack, I would just say I respectfully disagree.

F

Out of a 900 million dollar budget, um you know.

F

Significant cuts need to be made and they should be made.

F

While you can plan for them versus in when you're in the middle of the storm.

F

I mean I I hear what is being said. I just would say that.

F

A group of us respectfully disagree. Thank you.

A

Thank you, commissioner. Gingell commissioner miller.

C

Yeah, I just want to say I think it's unfortunate that.

C

This uh republican caucus wants to do the first, not unanimous budget vote.

C

uh It shows uh a lot. I just want to say that. Thank you, mr.

I

Chair, I beg to differ with the previous.

I

Speaker taub, there were times.

I

When republicans had the majority and two people voted.

I

Against the budget, I'm not mistaken. Thank you, mr.

I

Chair. Thank you, uh commissioner taub. I can ask.

A

People to keep their comments too, I mean the budget at hand. Here I mean I've got a couple like remarks and I and I want to appreciate the debate. I want.

A

To again appreciate all the time um from.

A

The administration uh to commissioners to our staff that.

A

Has gone through and to look at this.

A

Rather, a very complex document, the chart, of course, and how we should function, I mean, I think it's.

A

Important, I mean the I mean the chair of the republican.

A

Caucus, I mean some of the things that uh presented, I believe, has actually.

A

Taken a little out of context, the overall theme and position of our.

A

Economists and oakland counties forecast demonstrate that oakland county is.

A

Arguably, in the best position to move towards a very fast recovery.

A

That's for a number of reasons, um I think it's because of fiscal.

A

Planning and operation of our county, um it's built on the resilience of our.

A

Business community, um I think, demonstrated that oakland.

A

County has moved to use these cova dollars.

A

Strategically- and I would argue most strategic and.

A

Fastest, not only in michigan but across the country to get resources.

A

Particularly to those firms that are most vulnerable to this pandemic.

A

This pandemic came out of nowhere. No one forecast a pandemic, a.

A

Year ago and the fiscal health of this county.

A

Allows us to weather that, and we have been weathering that uh and.

A

Our and our good footing going forward what's essential with this budget, is.

A

That we put in place a county operation that is going to allow uh for us to fund.

A

Our public health to continue to respond to our public, this public health.

A

Emergency this pandemic, um it's absolutely essential, our largest.

A

Expenditure is our law enforcement and public safety.

A

Parts of the budget, it's absolutely essential that we fund.

A

Those operations, it's absolutely essential. We fund.

A

Veteran affairs and our parks and the things that.

A

We are and that we all value here as part of oakland county.

A

And what this budget does do? It does take a very conservative approach in.

A

Dollars coming in, but also put some reforms to suggest.

A

That the dollars that come in should be equal to the expenditures that go out that truth and budgeting is a concept.

A

That it's continuing to evolve so that we're not reliant on fund balance.

A

Year to year to year, so that we have a healthy fund balance which will be.

A

Maintained and preserved under this this current budget. uh Furthermore,.

A

um The building on efficiency, relying on fund balance for those.

A

One-Time expenditures to increase efficiency.

A

To make certain that we are regularly uh evaluating out outcome, performances.

A

Across the budget is what this whole process has been.

A

About and I believe that the county administration.

A

Has been incredibly transparent and open to conversations with.

A

Individual commissioners and making themselves available so that we can, we can do this together and what this budget today does it.

A

Allows for us to fund oakland county services on the.

A

Strong footing that we stand on today to make.

A

Adjustments, if necessary, but to make certain that a budget that.

A

We adopt is equal to the expenditures we anticipate.

A

Being made, um I believe, that's exactly what the public wants.

A

um There has been belt tightening and, as things continue to progress,.

A

We'll continue to um a bell titan, I'm added out of the request um to make.

A

Sure that we identify additional rainy day funds that should.

A

We we don't have a crystal ball um and I that that we see a difference in.

A

um In uh revenue coming in we're in a position, a better position to be able to.

A

Do that, but I want to underscore something that we've drawn on the best experts to be able to get. I mean to gauge what.

A

That amount is and then we're coming out, underneath that and making sure that our expenditures match that.

A

Now that's good governance, I mean across the board and I really hope that all of.

A

Us can come together to govern together to hold the hearings.

A

To continue to monitor not just on a quarterly basis, but on an ongoing basis, so that we can fund these things that our communities.

A

Need probably like well, I mean in terms of a very public way.

A

More than they've needed them in the past.

A

And so I want to applaud everybody. Who's been part of this process.

A

It is a solid budget, that's built on strong.

A

Fiscal management practices um that maintains the tradition of long-term.

A

Planning and an ongoing monitoring of these dollars and.

A

And it's ensuring that we have a healthy fund balance to really weather whether a pandemic.

A

Or any other economic calamity that happens in the future.

A

Commissioner miller move second by commissioner luebs to move the.

A

Resolution, okay, so next.

A

Commissioner, nelson, I get to move an amendment to add a name as a co-sponsor.

A

You can do that. We normally have the sheet to go around so, commissioner.

A

Nelson moves is there any other commissioners that want to be added as a co-sponsor, that's not currently on seeing um commissioner luebs, but we'll make it.

A

Commissioner, nelson commissioner luebs commissioner zack commissioner jackson.

A

Anybody else see none moved by nelson second by miller.

A

To add names as co-sponsors to this resolution.

A

All in favor of that say, I oppose say, nay, those members names are.

A

Added as co-sponsor, that brings us to the main motion: is there any discussion on the resolution? Do I, commissioner, miller, followed by gingell and hoffman.

C

Thank you chair. uh Yes, this resolution replaces a holiday that has negative.

C

Actions against indigenous people, which is encounter.

C

To oakland county's, values of equality, diversity and inclusion, um this change.

C

Is a long time coming uh and can serve as an educational tool.

F

uh About tribal culture in the in the history.

C

um For a long for a long time, we've done a bad job recognizing.

C

Indigenous people and given way too much credit to.

C

Columbus day, thank you, commissioner. Miller moved in.

A

Commissioner gingell, followed by commissioner hoffman commissioner.

F

You know mr chair I'll defer to commissioner hoffman first and then I'd.

F

Like to speak after, please, certainly, commissioner hoffman uh thank.

C

You very much, I will only support this if you make it.

C

All inclusive and I think that's what.

C

Democrats always talk about being all-inclusive.

C

And columbus contributed a lot to the history of the world.

C

He took great risk in what he did and what's interesting is the sad part.

C

Is about this commentary is the fact that he.

C

Supported slavery, which, unfortunately also was a.

C

Culture of the time and we've evolved past that. But if you.

C

Read history, the largest the five.

C

Largest indian nations in the united states.

C

Were some of the biggest slave owners so to substitute one for another.

C

And granted the indians were abused, they were taken advantage of.

C

But we can't erase our history. I think we need to make this all.

C

Inclusive, we need to support them for the good they did.

C

And hopefully, forgive the evils that were.

C

Pressed upon them, but it needs to be all inclusive or I'm not going to support it.

C

I mean they all have a lot of things to add to our history.

C

And of what we become and we're probably descendants of a lot of those people.

C

But if you're not going to read history and you're just going to keep passing.

C

Resolutions that erase part of one history for.

C

Another to me, it makes no sense, especially when.

C

A lot of them are guilty of the same things that all of us disagree with now, but we have to put it in the context.

C

Of the times and the culture- and we we're past that.

C

But we need to recognize all these people for what they contributed.

C

To what became us and became america.

C

Thank you, commissioner hoffman commissioner gingell. Thank you, mr chair. I I was going to echo.

F

A lot of what commissioner hoffman said, which is why I'm glad he went first.

F

You're, certainly, we hear a lot about being inclusive.

F

We also know that if you don't recognize your history.

F

Good and bad, it's likely to repeat itself and I think it's important to.

F

Recognize the good and bad in our history, so I would like.

F

To make a friendly amendment to move.

F

Recognizing indigenous people's day to the third monday.

F

Or the first monday, if people prefer of october.

F

So that we can, we can recognize to commissioner hoffman's.

F

uh Comments in an all-inclusive way different pieces of our history.

F

So I would like to make a friendly uh amendment mr chair.

A

uh So you're moving. What exactly do we need I'll hope that we.

F

I'll move that we uh change the date of recognizing indigenous people date to.

F

The third monday in october, moved by commissioner gingell seconded by.

A

Commissioner hoffman, um I don't know, I mean if it's.

A

Okay with the group we well, we won't do our normal process and recess to get it right, and I think it's a pretty.

A

Straightforward thing, so any further discussion.

A

On that, yes, oh I'm sorry, mr chair, I wanted to speak to the resolution.

I

But I'm going to we're we're on the amendment. So can you.

A

Get the amendment and we'll come back to you, okay, commissioner miller, on the.

A

A

You're on you, commissioner, I'll be voting no on this amendment.

A

Thank you, commissioner miller any further discussion on the amendment.

B

No, mr chair, you have 10 yeas 11 nays, an insufficient number voted in the.

A

Affirmative the amendment fails, I bring us the main motion.

A

uh Commissioner taub, I had up. Thank you, mr chair. I'm having a bit of.

I

Difficulty speaking and I'm miserable, but I will try to.

I

Explain to you why I'm not going to support this.

I

I I will tell you that columbus wasn't the best of guys.

I

He was kind of brutal, rather brutal, with any lands or properties that he.

I

Conquered and perhaps we ought to change the name.

I

To a different name of a prominent italian person.

I

However, benjamin harrison was president of the united states.

I

Chose the name columbus because, during his leadership.

I

In new orleans, louisiana 11 italian americans.

I

I

11 italian americans were lynched now, as you know, benjamin harrison.

I

Was a great great great person who supported definitely.

I

Supported having african-americans vote, that was.

I

One of his prime things that he ran on when he ran for president, and he was.

I

Appalled at these lynchings- and so he decided.

I

In memory of the 11 italians who had been lynched- and I believe it.

I

Was 1891, but I'm not certain of the date to make a holiday to.

I

Commemorate their passing sad passing, and so he.

I

Thought who was the most famous italian person that I know of and it was.

I

Columbus at that time now you may want to change the day.

I

The name of the day to another italian american who's contributed a great deal.

I

To our country, but I for one will not forgive.

I

Forget, rather, the people in this country, regardless of their race, color or creed,.

I

Were lynched that was dreadful and terrible. Thank you.

I

A

Thank you, commissioner. Any further discussion.

A

uh Commissioner gingell, for a second time. Thank you, mr chair. I I think this vote.

F

Canceling columbus day, um which is what we're doing.

F

Is a huge mistake, um I think the offer to recognize and an all-inclusive.

F

Way, both groups was more than reasonable.

F

Certainly could have been bipartisan and it's a 10 to 11 vote with no.

F

Discussion so to me we're continuing on and I think.

F

It's a sad day where there is a movement to cancel.

F

Columbus day and erase the history that has good and.

F

Bad to it, thank you.

A

um Yeah, I guess, commissioner again don't take some exception. I think we're.

A

Allowing as much debates as people want- and so I don't understand and we're.

A

Recognizing a day, I'm quite sure that columbus day will I.

A

Mean reign on, we are recognizing indigenous.

A

Indigenous peoples day as well.

A

Commissioner, nelson hope, you're on new commissioner nelson.
