A
Meeting
of
the
economic
development
infrastructure
committee
for
the
2023
I
was
going
to
say
school
year,
but
you
get
what
I
mean.
Let's
start
with
the
roll
call.
Please.
B
Johnson
president.
C
Markham
here,
Miller
is
absent
with.
A
Is
present
wonderful
if
I
could
get
commissioner
Brendan
Johnson
to
lead
us
in
the.
B
B
E
F
A
G
G
I'd
like
to
add
something,
if
it's
not
here,
and
that
is
just
to
ask
Patty
dibb
to
speak
to
us
about
the
Broadband.
My
my
high
session
she
went
to
yesterday.
G
A
And
just
just
double
checking
that
doesn't
require
any
Amendment
to
the
agenda
agenda
can
just
stay
we'll
note
it
in
a
minute
yeah,
excellent.
Anything
further
on
the
agenda.
C
A
So,
where
we
are
now
is,
there
seems
to
be
an
amendment
Mrs
Markham,
so
I'll
support
the
amendment.
Thank
you,
I
think
that
requires
two
votes.
A
A
A
Making
sure
looks
like
we
are,
as
they
say,
all
family,
so
no
public
comment,
so
I'll
close
public
comment.
Accordingly,
item
number
seven
on
the
agenda
is
Communications
I'm,
just
going
to
do
a
quick
refresh,
make
sure
I'm
up
to
speed
all
right
so
that
we
have
under
Communications
I
need
to
open
this
with
an
emotion.
Let's
go
ahead
and
open
Communications
I
was
going
to
move
to
receive
a
file
receiving
file,
any
support,
Ms
long
supports
and
we
can
prompt
the
vote
again.
A
This
is
for
alternative
energy
supplier
vendor
and
the
diamond
project
report
and
no
pressure,
but
Sean
is
here.
If
we
have
questions
or
discussion.
Now
is
a
fine
time,
commissioner
Rahman.
C
C
What
are
experiences
with
this
particular?
Obviously,
everybody
knows
DTE
I
for
one
I'm
not
familiar,
but
maybe
everybody
else
on
the
board
is
so
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
inquire
on
that
and
then
I
understand
too
it's
a
10
year
commitment,
correct
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
what
the
out
clause
is.
Generally
speaking
on
something
like
this.
If,
if
we
so
desire
to
pull.
A
B
Contact
with
the
purchasing
and
individuals
that
put
this
through
with
relative
to
the
10-year
contract,
but
just
in
general,
it's
about
a
12
million
dollar
savings
that
are
going
to
do
this,
so
there's
a
lot
more
detail
behind
it
and
they
all
causes.
But
it's
all
there
I,
just
don't
remember
what
they
are
I
thought
I
had,
so
you
should
be
able
to
provide
you
that
information,
okay,.
I
I
A
A
So
we'll
definitely
entertain
the
presentation
and
then
afterwards
we
can
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
this
report.
This
presentation
before
you
start
Miss
Markham
did
you
have
a
question?
No
okay.
I
was
going
to
make
the
motion.
G
J
F
J
Kind
of
a
brief
presentation,
I
think
commissioner
Charles
got
to
see
part
of
it
when
I
did
it
with
the
planners
gathering
for
Oakland
County
a
month
or
so
ago,
so
I
condensed
it
a
bit
because
that
was
about
an
hour
and
I
figured.
You
didn't
want
to
listen
to
me
for
an
hour,
so
we'll
kind
of
go
through
the
treasurer's
office
and
how
that
leads
into
the
Oakland
County
Land
Bank
Authority,
and
a
little
background
about
me.
I
have
been
with
the
treasurer's
office
for
almost
nine
years
now.
J
Previously
I
was
a
city
planner
in
the
city
of
Birmingham,
and
then
I
was
I,
worked
on
properties
for
the
state
land
bank
in
the
Michigan
state
land
bank,
and
look
at
an
overview
of
what
we'll
talk
about
today:
tax,
foreclosure
prevention,
it's
something
in
the
treasurer's
office
week
here
very
deeply
about.
So
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
talk
about
after
tax
foreclosure.
What
happens
to
those
properties
that
are
left
over
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
landing
Authority
and
how
that
was
created
and
what
it
means
for
the
county?
J
Okay,
so
before
tax
foreclosure
and
I
think
I
said
that
the
treasurer's
office
I
think
the
first
thing
that
we
tell
people
is
we
want
to
avoid
foreclosure
altogether.
We
understand
stabilized
neighborhoods
are
most
important
for
our
residents
in
the
county,
in
keeping
people
in
their
homes
is
the
most
important
things
for
neighborhoods.
J
So,
unfortunately,
foreclosure
exists.
We
work
with
property
owners.
We
have
one-on-one
meetings
with
them.
We
call
them
taxpayer
assistance
meetings
Tams.
For
short,
if
you
ever
hear
anybody
say
that
we
have
something
called
a
Financial
Empowerment
Center,
so
we
can
meet
with
folks
that
have
delinquent
taxes
or
other
issues.
We
can
wait
for
them
to
all
sorts
of
resources.
J
J
J
J
So
kind
of
before
the
land
bank
Authority
we
and
the
treasurer's
office
have
something
called
a
surplus
property
program
and
I
think
one
question
that
people
ask
most
often
is
how
the
heck
did
the
treasurer's
office
get
so
many
properties.
And
what
do
you
do
with
them?
And
what's
the
story
there?
How
do
I
get
them?
Ownership
of
property
is
transferred
to
the
treasurer's
office
after
tax
foreclosure,
which
is
at
least
three
years
of
delinquent
taxes.
J
If
it
doesn't
sell
at
an
auction,
we
have
two
auctions
every
year.
It's
then
transferred
to
the
county
treasure
and
it
goes
on
to
our
Surplus
list
each
year
through
the
foreclosure
process.
Whatever
doesn't
sell,
gets
added
to
that
Surplus
list,
so
it
continues
to
add
up.
We
sell
them
and
we'll
get
to
that.
In
a
minute.
The
treasurer's
office
maintains
the
property.
J
So
Surplus
property
is
simply
a
property
that
doesn't
sell
through
tax
foreclosure
or
isn't
taken
by
municipality
through
the
right
infrastruct
Visa,
which
is
what
is
allowed
prior
to
the
auction.
So
the
municipality
can
say:
I
would
like
that
property.
They
pay
the
delinquent
taxes,
interest
in
fees
and
prior
to
the
land
bank,
with
the
Surplus
property
program.
J
What
my
goal
was
to
create
was
kind
of
a
quasi-land
bank.
I
was
brought
over
to
the
treasurer's
office
to
create
a
land
bank,
and
that
just
didn't
happen
until
recently.
J
So
my
goal
was,
to
you
know,
change
the
program
and,
instead
of
just
selling,
to
whoever
wanted
property,
really
look
holistically
at
what
that
means
for
our
communities
when
people
from
outside
of
the
county
or
the
city
or
the
neighborhood
by
properties.
We
know
that
has
an
effect
on
neighborhoods
when
people
don't
take
care
of
things,
even
if
it's
not
mowing
grass.
J
So
here's
just
a
couple
of
houses
that,
through
foreclosure
did
not
sell,
ended
up
on
the
surface
property.
We
found
folks
that
had
experience
not
a
ton
of
experience,
there's
a
lot
of
people,
especially
in
Pontiac
that
really
want
to
renovate
houses
and
getting
a
structure
that
needs
work
and
setting
them
up
with
folks
that
can
kind
of
Mentor
them
helps
a
lot.
So
we
have
the
ability
to
transform
a
few
different
houses,
and
now
these
have
homeowners
in
them,
which
is
an
important,
also
an
important
thing
for
stabilizing
a
neighborhood.
J
J
J
So
we
we
mow
Lawns,
we
clear
sidewalks,
we
you
know
when
you're
walking
around
a
neighborhood
and
you
see
the
sidewalk
completely
covered
with
grass
and
nobody
can
get
through
it
as
branches
hanging
over
the
sidewalk.
We
can
clear
that
out
again
what
people
deserve
is
safe,
neighborhoods
and
if
we
can
help
make
those
better
we're
going
to
do
it
illegal
dumping.
J
So
the
county
treasurer's
office
has
that
maintenance
budget
right
now
the
the
Oakland
County
Land
Bank
Authority,
does
not
have
a
budget.
So,
for
now,
all
those
properties
will
stay
with
the
County
Treasurer's
Office,
and
then
we
just
look
at
ways
to
hopefully
change
how
a
building
looks
just
because
it's
vacant
doesn't
mean
it
always
has
to
look
like
the
one
on
the
left
it's
expensive,
but
it
also
helps
us.
This
is
on
M59.
J
J
So
it's
just
one
other
thing
that
we
we
try
to
do
and
we
have
the
funds
to
do
it
so
September
the
Oakland
County
Land,
make
Authority
was
officially
created
through
an
intergovernmental
agreement
between
the
county
and
the
state
land
make
Authority
and
how
that
kind
of
happened.
I
think
you
know.
Sometimes
land
banks
are
hard
to
understand,
but
a
project
happened
in
Commerce
Township.
J
That
was
an
Old
Quarry
and
because
it
was
transferred
into
the
land
bank,
it
then
qualified
for
Brownfield
funding
so
kind
of
without
that
mechanism
that
helped
them
pay
for
some
infrastructure
and
utilities.
It
probably
would
remain
a
quarry
for
a
very
long
time,
if
not
forever,
so
that
happened.
I
think
everybody.
J
And
obviously
nobody
works
in
the
vacuum.
All
of
these
boards
and
authorities
are
super
important,
I.
Think
just
getting
the
message
about
about
this
tool
that
we
have
working
with
all
of
our
state
and
federal
agencies.
I
think
there
is
a
real
opportunity
for
the
county
to
partner
with
the
state
agencies.
Medc,
there's
a
lot
of
really
cool
tools
out
there
that
can
kind
of
Stack
together
and
make
a
project
more
feasible
and
obviously,
if
we
can
get
a
project
together,
it
makes
the
county
better
and
it
makes
all
of
our
relationships
better.
J
Just
a
visual
of
how
land
made
works,
I
think
I
had
written
it
out
and
then
I
found
this
and
thought
this
is
I
learned
my
picture,
so
this
has
helped
me
so
land
make
is
a
privately
owned.
Property,
unfortunately
ends
up
being
foreclosed
by
the
county.
The
county
is
the
foreclosing
governmental
unit
for
here
after
it
forecloses
it
becomes
in
our.
In
our
case,
if
the
property
of
the
treasurer's
office,
the
treasurer,
can
then
deed
it
over
to
the
land
bank.
J
J
Other
kinds
of
government
swaps
we're
working
with
the
state
land
bank
right
now
they
own
about
120-ish
properties
in
Pontiac
and
we're
right
now,
working
with
them
to
develop
a
map
that
just
shows
where
all
the
publicly
owned
property
is
located.
So
we
can
start
looking
at
what
is
able
to
be
assembled
for
bigger
projects,
so
they
could.
J
J
We
get
a
grant
from
the
state
land
bank
through
the
general
fund
allocation
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
we're
going
to
use
that
to
stabilize
some
more
of
those
houses
in
that
GM,
modern
housing,
neighborhood
and
we're
going
to
work
with
developers
to
continue
the
renovation
and
then
sell
to
homeowners,
and
we
can
put
a
deep
restriction
into
the
deed
that
requires
homeownership
for
a
certain
period
of
time,
and
that
is
our
plan.
J
We
can
strategically
assemble
Parcels.
So
if
a
developer
comes
to
us
and
says
we're
trying
to
buy
seven
properties
here,
we
have
one
right
now.
What
do
we
do?
Well,
if
you
have
a
plan-
and
you
come
to
our
board-
and
you
tell
us
what
you're
doing
and
your
experience
and
we
can
see
it-
the
board
could
approve
us
to
hold
on
to
the
properties.
J
While
you
assemble
them,
the
taxes
are
reduced
to
zero,
because
it's
done
that
government
owned
property
and
so
that
assists
a
developer
with
assembling
property
and
holding
off
and
paying
taxes
for
a
period
of
time
all
under
a
development
agreement
that
is
agreed
with
by
everybody.
And
then
the
land
bank
has
the
ability
to
flexibly,
set
the
sales
price
on
any
property,
so
highest
and
best
doesn't
necessarily
matter
we're.
J
And
then
this
is
just
kind
of
the
land.
Make
act
works
very
closely
with
the
Brownfield
act.
When
a
property
comes
into
the
land
bank,
it
qualifies
as
a
Brownfield,
so
they
can
then
do
the
Brownfield
plan
and
qualify
to
get
a
myriad
of
things
approved
under
that
plan,
and
thankfully
we
have
a
great
Brownfield
Redevelopment
Authority
in
the
county
with
Brad
Hansen
he's
an
expert
and
he
comes
to
our
board
meetings
and
is
very
helpful
with
all
of
his
knowledge.
J
And
then
this
just
talks
about
what
the
eligible
activities
are:
all
sorts
of
things
due:
diligence,
Brownfield,
prep
demolition,
utilities,
infrastructure
site
prep.
All
these
things
cost
a
lot
of
money
and
if
we
can
assist
people
and
developers
with
a
little
bit
of
the
cost,
then
that
might
make
their
project
feasible.
Otherwise
it
wouldn't
be,
and
then
just
some
ideas
of
that
other
landmanks
have
done.
J
That
I
think
we're
looking
forward
to
getting
into
our
our
guidelines,
which
we're
developing
right
now,
with
the
help
of
Center
for
Community
progress,
housing
I
think
we
talk
a
lot
about
affordable
housing
and
I.
Think
affordable
housing
and
I've
been
saying
this.
A
lot
lately,
people
are
probably
sick
of
it,
but
there's
affordable
housing
with
capital
A
with
incentives
and
there's
affordable
housing
that
people
that
work
in
your
communities
can
afford.
J
So
I
think
it's
important
to
have
both
of
those
affordable
just
means
the
people
that
work
at
the
places
you
visit
can
live
in
the
places
where
they
want
to
so
looking
at
that,
looking
at
missing
middle
housing,
which
is
duplexes
fourplexes
kind
of
the
on
the
edge
of
these
single-family
residential
neighborhoods
that
have
been
created
historically
everywhere,
assembling
Land,
Park
creation
and
expansion
and
Trail
expansion.
J
You
know
always
looking
at
the
tax
foreclosure
lists
and
seeing
on
a
map
where
things
might
cross
paths
with
those
kind
of
things
and
then
dealing
with
obsolete
or
contaminated
property
and
working
with
the
various
agencies
that
can
help
clean
those
up.
J
And
then
this
is
just
kind
of
a
Shameless
plug.
When
I
started
at
the
county,
we
had
2500
vacant
Lots
majority
of
those
were
in
the
city
of
Pontiac,
and
it
was
kind
of
you
know.
What
do
you
do
with
these?
J
What
do
you
we
can
maintain
them,
but
you
kind
of
saw
that
people
were
using
a
lot
of
them
already
so
I
started
trying
to
figure
out
who
people
were
so
we
started
meeting
at
a
welcome
Missionary,
Baptist
Church
and
the
main
thing
that
we
saw
with
these
Gardens
is
people
didn't
know
how
to
deal
with
Critters
groundhogs
were
a
big
problem.
J
People
do
very
strange
things
to
get
rid
of
them,
but
it
was
an
interesting
conversation
and
just
a
good
way
to
build
community,
introduce
people
to
each
other,
they're
already
doing
similar
things
in
the
neighborhood.
So
we
started
this
non-profit
now
about
three
years
ago
called
growing
Pontiac
and
it's
now
an
organization
that
has
an
executive
director
all
volunteer
based
still,
but
we
have
classes.
We
learn.
J
Raw
which
is
in
Berkeley
with
La
Familia,
which
is
a
Social
Service
Agency
in
Pontiac,
all
sorts
of
classes,
all
sorts
of
activity
sharing
and
volunteer
activities.
So,
if
you're
interested
check
that
website
out
growing
Pontiac
org
and
then
what's
next,
we
have
communicated
with
all
of
the
municipalities
in
the
county.
We
sent
them
an
email
and
said
hey.
This
is
what's
happening.
Let
us
know
if
you
have
any
projects
going
on,
obviously
the
earlier
the
conversations
when
you're
dealing
with
economic
development,
the
better.
J
So
that's
kind
of
the
message:
if
you
have
something
come
to
us
and
we
can
work
with
I,
see
Dom
over
there,
we
can
all
work
together.
We
work
very
closely
with
the
planning
division
here
in.
F
J
County,
we
are
working
to
collaborate
more
with
medc
and
find
other
grants
that
we
can
use,
and
then
we
are
also
planning
to
create
a
qualified
developer
pool
through
an
RFQ.
So
when
we
do
have
assembly
of
properties,
we
can
say
hey
single
family
residential
who
can
do
this?
J
Who
has
the
experience
and
they
will
submit
a
proposal
and
that
we
can
go
through
that
that
activity
and
then
just
follow
all
the
changing
legislation
that
the
treasurer's
office
is
dealing
with
and
the
end
goal
is
to
bring
properties
back
to
productive
use,
and
that
doesn't
mean
necessarily
having
a
new
house
on
it.
It
could
be
a
park
or
it
could
be
a
garden
or
it
could
be
a
side
lot
for
somebody
if
they
want
to
build
a
garage.
All
sorts
of
different
uses.
J
And
then
that's
me:
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
it's
my
email,
it's
my
phone
number
I'm,
always
available
and
also
available
right
now,.
A
Thank
you,
Miss
Robinson,
for
that
wonderful
presentation.
I
have
questions
on
the
floor.
Mr
weipert,
we'll
start
with
you.
So
prior.
F
J
J
J
Those
actually
were
acquired
when
I
worked
at
the
state
land
make
a
lot
of
them,
so
the
DNR
I
think
was
the
DNR
used
to
be
the
foreclosing
governmental
unit.
Some
of
those
are
sold
they've
been
with
the
state
Landing
for
many
years,
there's
other
ones
that
were
purchased
through
the
neighborhood
stabilization
program
that
was
probably
12
years
ago
now.
So
there's
a
lot
of
purchasing
and
demolition
of
properties
and
the
landing
just
still
continues
to
own
them.
The.
J
No,
it
will
just
be
a
transfer,
but
we're
working
on
that.
So
we
don't
want,
because
we
don't
have
a
budget
for
that
land
make
Authority.
We
don't
want
them,
transferring
them
to
the
treasurer's
office.
So
we're
working
on
this
map
to
figure
out
what
what
properties
we
can
assemble
together
and
then
they
can
transfer
them
to
the
county
land
bank
and
then
we
can
then
deed
them
to
a
developer.
E
Then
the
comment
on
the
automatically
eligible
for
the
Brownfield
is
that,
just
because
the
nature
of
the
properties
here
I
mean
don't,
they
have
to
have
an
underlying.
A
We'll
see
any
other
questions
on
the
prompt
do
we
have
any
questions
from
many
commission
committee
members.
A
Thank
you,
progress,
you're,
welcome,
I
do
have
one,
though
Jill.
If
you
could
just
say
in
your
estimation,
we'll
hold
you
to
it,
but
when
you
talked
about
the
the
treasurer
those
properties
transferring
in
most
cases
would
go
to
a
LBA,
a
land
bank
Authority,
but
right
now
ours
is
technically
considered
owned
by
the
treasurer,
because
the
Oakland
County
Land
Bank
Authority,
has
no
budget
and
I
was
just
curious.
Is
that
pretty
standard
with
Land
Bank
Authorities?
Should
they
have
budgets?
This
is
all
hypothetical
yeah.
J
I
mean:
is
it
so
at
this
point
it's
an
economic
development
tool.
I
think
what
we
see
it
as
right
now
as
we
get
our
feet
under
us,
is
working
with
people
that
have
projects
that
would
then
be
transferred
into
the
land
bank.
We
would
hold
on
to
them
that
way
they
qualify
for
that
Brownfield
funding
we'll
hold
out
the
property
as
well.
They
assemble
so
I.
Don't
really
see
right
now,
a
lot
of
properties
transferring
into
the
landing
unless
there's
a
specific
project,
mine.
D
And
on
those
along
those
lines,
so
you
know
there
there
is
no
budget
for
the
land
bank
Authority
as
of
now.
So
everything
that's
why
we
have
everything
in
the
treasurer's
office.
There
is
a
line
item
in
the
treasures
budget
right
that
that
you
all
have
approved
in
the
past,
but
the
goal
is
ultimately
because
the
land
bank
is
a
separate
Authority
to
have
enough
funding
there,
where
we
can
actually
no
longer
have
to
house
these
things
in
the
treasurer's
office
and
our
budget,
which
will
actually
lower
our
budget
right.
D
So
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
you
know.
There
are
a
lot
of
reasons
why
we
really
wanted
to
move
forward
with
the
land
bank,
but
that
was
one
of
them
as
well.
Is
that
ultimately
it
will
lower
yeah
it'll
stay,
you
know,
like
save
taxpayer
dollars
in
the
county
and
lower
lower
the
budget.
So
I
think
that's
something.
That's
really
important.
I
J
Right
or
are
you
gonna
say
something
I
think
we
didn't
hit
on
how
a
land
make
is
technically
funded,
which
isn't
ideal,
but
any
property
that
comes
into
the
land
bank.
Then
the
land
bank
captures
50
of
the
taxes
for
five
years,
and
that
is
kind
of
with
the
Commerce
Township
project
that
that
capture
was
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
J
So
the
county
was
like.
Why
are
we?
Are
we
State
when
the
county
can
have
it
I
call
that
a
Unicron
project
I?
Don't.
J
So
I
didn't
want
to
get
too
excited,
but
they're
you
know
on
the
on
the
horizon.
There
are
properties
that
could
very
well,
maybe
not
be
that
big,
but
have
a
similar
implications
right.
There
could
be
other
intro.
We
were
working
with
one
in
Farmington
that
was
going
to
be
a
big
project.
I,
don't
know
that
that's
still
going
to
happen,
but
working
with
something
in
Farmington,
Hills,
there's
a
large
swath
of
property
that
could
be
eligible
to
come
to
the
land
bank.
J
So
it's
just
I
think
we
have
to
vet
every
single
project
independently
of
each
other
and
then
have
a
development
agreement
about
how
long
they'll
hold
on
to
it
and
then
transfer
it
back,
because
we
don't
want
to
be
left
holding
any
properties
that
somebody
their
project
falls
apart.
It's
not
our
responsibility,
so
I
think
the
budget
will
be
interesting.
Moving
forward
just
to
see
what
kind
of
product
projects
we
are
able
to
to
do
through
this
Authority
yeah
go.
D
But
it's
also
important
for
all
of
you,
as
you
go
back
to
your
communities
as
you're
having
these
conversations
with
the
leaders
in
your
communities
that
the
land
bank
is
here
to
work
with
everyone
right
that
this
is
a
an
academic
development
tool
that
will
benefit
the
entire
County
right.
I
mean
you
know
at
this
point.
Pontiac
is,
is
kind
of
the
focus
because
of
just
the
properties
we
have,
but
it
doesn't
mean
we're
going
to
be
exclusively
with
Pontiac.
D
Bye
by
virtue
of
the
you
know,
so
the
the
treasurer
is
the
the
chair
of
the
board,
and
then
there
are
four
other
members
that
were
appointed
by
the
three
that
were
appointed
by
the
Board
of
Commissioners,
one
that
was
appointed
by
the
executive.
D
So
and
I
can
tell
you,
as
of
now,
the
meetings
have
been
going
very
well,
we've
all
seemed
to
you
know
we're
all
working
together,
we've
been
very
productive,
every
meeting
we've
come
together
and,
and
we
keep
moving
forward
with
a
lot
of
different
things
approving
like
the
state
jail,
can
probably
attest
to
this,
but
you're,
the
one
that
has
this
conversation
she's
talking
with
the
state
land,
bank
and
they're
like
wow,
you
guys
are
moving
really
fast
in
Oakland,
County
you're,
getting
things
done
and
yeah
that's
the
plan
yeah.
A
Yeah
excellent
good
stuff
to
hear-
and
we
look
forward
to
just
you
know
in
interim
reporting
or
presentations
as
you
are
building
this
out
even
further.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
and
that
will
conclude
this
portion
of
the
agenda
item
eight
and
yeah.
Well,.
F
B
A
Years:
zero
Nays.
That
means
that
motion
carried.
Thank
you
all
item
number.
Nine
on
our
agenda
is
the
consent
agenda,
and
that
is
the
tri-party
road
Improvement
program
fiscal
year.
2023
Appropriations
and
you
can
see
this.
The
communities
represented
there,
Madison
Heights,
Novi,
Troy
and
Novi
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
open
and
approve
the
consent
agenda.
A
A
A
B
A
A
And
we
will
pause
for
technical
setting
up
and
what
have
you
see.
G
F
A
A
Five
years,
that
means
that
passes,
and
we
appreciate
your
time
today,
Paul
and
Melissa,
and
got
there
and
win
the
day.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right
committee,
we're
at
item
11
on
the
public
comment,
we're
on
item
11
of
the
agenda,
which
is
public
comment
and
I'm
happy
to
hear
from
anyone
from
the
public
who
might
have
graced
our
presence
today
in
the
room,
just
making
sure
no
one's
running
down
the
hall
to
speak
to
us
during
public
comment.
I
declare
public
comment
is
close.
A
K
Mic
I'm
kind
of
always
here,
just
not
always
visible,
so
just
wanted
to
update
you,
post,
Tri-County
Summit
and
on
this
subject
of
broadband,
which
is
pretty
nebulous
and
commissioner
white
Burton
Markham
have
been
sort
of
following
this
topic
with
our
peer
counties.
So
here's
an
update
on
what's
going
on
so
the
Michigan
office
of
high-speed
internet,
which
is
known
as
my
high
office.
K
They
are
conducting
40
listening
tours
throughout
the
state,
and
that
is
for
the
purpose
of
getting
feedback
for
the
plan
on
how
to
spend
1.6
billion
dollars
that
is
coming
into
Michigan.
So
those
federal
funds
coming
into
the
state
of
Michigan,
so
those
funds
are
going
to
be
used
for
the
Broadband
Equity
access
deployment
at
bead
and
digital
Equity
act,
and
so
those
are
two
Federal
Acts
that
so
many
acronyms
it's
really
kind
of
hard
to
keep
track
of.
K
So
the
the
listening
stop
I
went
to
was
in
Warren
and
there
will
be
one
in
Pontiac
tomorrow
evening
and
also,
if
you
go
to
the
Michigan
high-speed
internet
office
website,
you'll
see
that
there
are
are
some
more
scheduled.
These
are
in
the
tent.
What
they're?
Calling
the
10
Prosperity
areas
of
the
state
they're
getting
feedback,
they
want
to
know
from
you.
K
K
And
the
the
areas
that
they
were
interested
in,
seeing
the
attendees
to
this
meeting
rank
was
affordability,
availability,
devices,
Tech
savviness
and
then
other
so
they
went
through
the
the
group
and,
and
what
really
emerged
was
that
availability
and
affordability
kind
of
goes
hand
in
hand
and
devices
also
follows
in
tech.
Savvy
also
falls
into
that
as
well,
so
they're
all
interconnected,
so
they
were
interested
in
hearing.
K
So
that
being
said,
I
said
there
are
all
kinds
of
acronyms
there
are
so
I
talked
about
two
which
are
coming
down.
The
line
and
grants
are
open
right
now
for
Robin,
which
is
something
I
know
and
I'm,
not
even
going
to
say
what
it
what
it
is,
because
it's
always
referred
to
as
Robin,
but
they're
they're,
accepting
Grant
applications
now
from
communities
to
provide
middle
Mile
and
Last
Mile
infrastructure
service.
K
So
so
that's
open
right
now
and
they're
asking
you
know,
communities
to
plan,
you
know
how
they
will
get
their
community
members
who
are
unserved
or
underserved
service
so
and
then
kind
of
going
going
along
that
vein,
we
were
through
our
work
with
our
peers.
At
the
Tri-County
Summit,
we
were
awarded
Federal
funding
via
a
grant
in
connection
with
Wayne
County,
to
do
a
survey
of
our
County
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
accurate
portrayal
of
actual
service
so
previous
to
the
to
some
surveys
that
the
my
high
office
did.
K
But
those
were
done
in
rural
areas.
The
data
came
from
the
providers
and
providers
often
overstate
their
service
because
they
were
allowed
to
go
by
census
tribes.
So
if
they
had
one
house
on
a
street
that
had
service
but
19
others
didn't,
they
were
allowed
to
count
all
of
those.
So
that's
changing
and
you've
heard
probably
a
lot
about
challenging
the
maps
and
going
online
that's
still
going
on.
But
what
we're
going
to
do?
K
We've
partnered
with
Wayne
and
Walt
Herzig
from
the
executive
office
is
going
to
be
our
partner
on
this,
at
least
for
the
time
being.
It
might
go
to
you
know
someone
else,
but
we're
going
to
contract
with
Merit
and
Oakland
or
Wayne.
County
is
as
well
and
we're
going
to
do
a
survey
so
that
we
have
really
accurate
data.
So
we
know
where
the
gaps
are.
We
know
where
the
holes
are,
and
that
will
be
happening
soon.
H
So
and
it
might
be
an
early
stage,
the
one
point
Patty,
the
1.6
billion
federal
funds.
Will
there
be
or
do
you
know
if
there
will
be
like
a
calculation
like
they
do
funding
for
roads?
How
are
they
going
to
divide
that
money
up
amongst
Michigan?
Is
it
going
to
be
need
based?
Is
it
going
to
be
you
know
like
population,
or
do
you
know
yet,
or
is
that
too
early
stage.
K
Yeah,
that's
what
part
of
this
listening
tour
is
about
them.
Gathering,
the
information
to
see
is
it
infrastructure?
Is
it?
Does
it
mostly
go
to,
like
you
know,
putting
the
cabling
out?
Does
it
go
to
making
sure
that
you
know
everyone
gets
a
device
in
the
areas
where
it's
you
know
not
feasible
to
get
like
cabling
or
or
Towers
out
there,
because
providers
won't
do
it?
If
there
aren't
enough
houses
to
connect
to
service,
then
maybe
is
money
spent
on
providing
those
residents
with
mifi's?
You
know
the
portable
hot
spots,
okay,.
K
Yeah,
so
they
are
they're
going
throughout
the
whole
state
and
what
they're
going
to
do
and
I
forgot
to
mention
so
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up
once
they
put
together
the
plan
they're
going
to
go
back
out
to
get
feedback
on
that
actual
plan?
Okay,
good!
So
you
we
have
first,
the
ability
to
provide
you
know
our
priority
input,
and
then
we
have
ability
to
provide
input
on
the
actual
plan
that
they
put
together.
A
K
A
A
H
B
Okay,
wiper,
yes
and
Ramen.
Yes,.
A
Motion
passes
to
receive
and
file
that,
thank
you
so
much
everyone,
and
if
there
is
nothing
further
from
the
body,
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
