local
fiscal
recovery,
funds
for
project
diamond
distribution,
independent
and
algae
manufacturing
on

Phase
number
two
need
a
motion
move
by
commissioner
spitz
seconded
by
commissioner
markham
good
morning
good

C
C
Sean
carlson
oakland
county
deputy
county
executive
and
I'm
here
to
present
today
project
diamond
phase
two
in
regards
to
a
request
for
appropriations
of
15
million
dollars
for
arpa
funds.
So
we've
got
a
presentation.
I
will
be
joined
by
automation
alley
during
the
question
period.
Also,
we
have
a
manufacturer
who
received
a
phase.
C
One
3d
print
went
through
phase
one,
and
that's
mr
valentine
and
he's
a
manufacturer
in
oakland
county
down
in
the
ferndale
area
and
I'll
ask
for
a
presentation
from
him
to
give
us
his
insights
as
well,
and
I'm
also
joined
by
dom
holmes
in
our
economic
development
group.
So
welcome.
Thank
you.
So
let
me
go
through
this
presentation.
C
I
will
just
note
real
quick
in
regards
to
the
resolution
and
it's
an
oversight
on
my
on
my
part,
but
we
are.
We
are
asking
for
an
appropriation,
not
an
assignment,
so
if
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
that's
clear-
and
that
was
that's
an
oversight
from
my
perspective-
and
I
think
that
might
be
in
the
first
now
therefore
be
it
resolved.
C
So
with
that
being
said,
let
me
go
to
the
second
slide
here,
so
critical
questions
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
were
answering
internally
here
first
and
how
did
project
diamond
phase
two
develop
as
a
proposal?
C
Why
project
diamond
phase
two
is
important?
Does
it
meet
the
county
guidelines
for
arpa
funds
to
be
distributed
and
appropriated
to,
and
does
it
meet?
More
importantly,
the
arpa
guidelines,
what
smes,
which
is
small
manufacturing
enterprises,
will
get
3d
printers
and
what
is
the
expected
impact
if
we
move
forward
with
this
program
and
what's
the
impact
if
we
do
not
move
forward
with
this
program?
C
So
with
that
question,
let
me
let
me
next
slide
please.
So
this
wasn't
developed
in
a
vacuum.
It
wasn't
developed
across
the
street.
It
was
actually
developed
with
a
group
of
business
leaders
from
oakland
county
that
came
together.
They
were
appointed
on
a
task
force
by
county
executive
dave,
coulter
back
in
april
and
april
of
2021,
and
from
that
we
had
multiple
workforce
groups.
C
Ingrid
tai,
our
economic
development
director
will
be
joining
me
as
well,
and
so
one
of
the
work
groups
was
future
prosperity,
economic
development
for
future
prosperity,
work
group
and
you
could
see
the
different
names
there.
Eric
dietz
from
huntington
national
bank,
kate,
knight
from
farmington
ddc,
grace
lee
martin,
manna
chamber
of
commerce
called
the
ian
chamber
of
commerce,
and
you
could
see
the
the
various
names
mr
kelly
who's
behind
me
and
will
be
joining
me
for
some
questions
as
well.
C
Next
slide.
We
came
up
with
these
five
proposals,
business
forward,
which
was
approved
by
this
committee
and
ultimately
by
this
board
of
commissioners
in
april,
and
that
really
addressed
our
local
economic
development.
We
are
trying
to
address
two
important
parts
of
our
ecosystem:
our
small
downtown
business
operations,
mom
and
pop
retail
stores,
mom
and
pop
restaurants,
mom
and
pop
personal
services
organization
and
business
forward.
C
Does
that
also
project
diamond
two,
which
is
addressing
our
manufacturing,
which
is
also
important
in
our
ecosystem,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
good
symbiotic
balance
between
those
two
organizations
place
making
in
livable
neighborhoods
is
something
that
we'll
be
looking
at
as
well
site
readiness
and
revolving
loan
fund.
Today
the
topic
is
project
diamond
phase
two,
so
this
slide
talks
about
the
importance
of
phase
two.
It
was
an
initiative
that
was
really
borne
out
of
the
covet
pandemic.
C
I
had
an
order
of
mask
scott
guzzi
did
in
regards
to
coming
from
china,
which
was
was
intervened.
We
also
had
fema
intervene,
one
of
our
supply
chains
there's
no
way,
and
we
made
a
commitment
at
that
point
in
time.
There
is
no
way
that
that
should
be
happening
to
oakland
county.
That's
got
the
manpower
and
the
brain
power
to
be
more
resilient.
We
have
the
manufacturing
might
here.
We
have
the
r
d
in
this
neighborhood
in
this
community
in
this
county
and
we
need
to
be
leveraging
it.
C
So
out
of
that,
and
out
of
the
cares
act
came
the
project
diamond
phase
one
and
we
wanted
to
embrace
industry
4.0
theories
and
put
them
into
practice,
assist
oakland,
county's,
2600,
manufacturing
and
becoming
more
resilient
and
responsive
to
future
local
and
national
crises
and
help
mitigate
supply
chain
issues
and
long
lead
time
for
critical
supplies
and
build
a
sustainable
platform
where
our
small
manufacturers
could
compete
and
look
to
reshore
manufacture,
look
to
bring
jobs
back
to
our
country
and
back
to
this
county
next
slide
project
diamond
phase.
One
was
a
success.
C
This
was
an
example
of
a
supply
chain
issue
nationally
that
was
going
on
and
none
of
the
manufacturers
could
respond
to
that,
except
for
project
diamond,
and
it
shows
the
importance
of
this
project
going
forward.
Project
diamond
company
is
working
currently
with
our
national
guard
to
manufacture
parts
next
slide.
C
This
is
a
quick
picture
of
the
250.
Actually,
we
took
back
six
printers
if
they're
not
getting
used.
That's
part
of
the
arrangement
and
agreement
that
automation
halley
has
with
our
our
small
manufacturers
is
that
we
will
take
those
back
and
redistribute
them
to
manufacturers
that
are
going
to
use
them.
So
currently
we
have
244,
and
these
are
the
various
locations
in
where
they're
at
next
slide
project
diamond
phase
two.
Why
is
phase
two
important
phase?
Two
is
important
for
a
number
of
reasons.
C
C
We
had
a
major
major
announcement
by
gm
in
january
talking
about
ligorian
and
talking
about
the
gm
investment
biggest
investment
ever
by
general
motors
made
right
here
in
oakland
county
just
up
the
road,
but
what's
going
to
happen,
if
we
don't
move
forward
and
we
don't
get
our
small
mom
and
pops,
there
are
more
manufacturing
jobs
in
wayne
county.
There
are
more
manufacturing
jobs
in
macomb.
C
There
is
not
more
manufacturing
companies,
oakland
county
has
more
than
both
of
those
counties
together,
but
they're
small
mom
and
pops,
and
we
are
going
to
see
a
contraction
in
the
number
of
auto
supplies
and
project
diamond.
Not
only
helps
us
address
future
crisis
and
be
prepared
for
it,
but
it
also
helps
our
mom
and
pops
prepare
for
what
is
about
to
come
in
regards
to
ev
batteries,
which
is
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
auto
supplies.
C
We
need
to
help
our
mom
and
pop
manufacturers
start
to
diversify
their
portfolio
and
look
at
other
opportunities
continue
to
be
strong
with
our
auto
manufacturing,
but
look
at
defense
and
aerospace
and
other
industries
as
well
phase
two
helps
us
develop
a
tipping
point.
It
moves
us
from
244
to
potentially
eight
hundred
to
a
thousand
in
regards
to
small
manufacturers.
C
Why
project
time
in
phase
two
driving
productivity,
accelerating
job
and
income,
growth,
enhancing
innovation
and
supporting
national
resilience?
Oakland
county
has,
as
I
mentioned
before,
2626
manufacturers,
13
billion
in
manufacturing
gdp,
66,
000
jobs,
and
it
has
a
multiplier
impact
of
creating
1.8
for
every
job.
That's
created
in
manufacturing
next
slide.
The
criteria
criteria
that
we've
said
across
the
street
in
regards
to
this
project
is
it
needs
to
be
transformational.
C
C
It
will
aid
and
be
a
key
driver
which,
in
the
blue
collar
industry,
will
help
with
job
and
wage
growth
in
the
blue
collar
industry.
We
have
manufacturing,
we
have
construction
and
we
have
a
whole
warehousing
and
retail
and
wholesale
trade
that
make
up
blue
blue
collar
manufacturing
job
with
manufacturing
being
being
the
key
driver,
and
it
also
powers
and
I've
said
this
many
times
oakland
county,
even
though
it
is
not
the
most
populous
county,
it
does
produce
over
one-fifth
of
the
state
of
michigan's
gdp.
C
C
Yes,
yes,
thank
you.
I
didn't
interrupt
you
and
I
you
know
covet
is
coronavirus
in
case
any
of
you
are
sorry
and
19
stands
for
the
year
that
it
happened
just
in
case
we
have
any
new
persons
that
move
to
oakland
county,
so
our
criteria,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
responding
to
the
economic
impacts
from
covet
19.
C
meet
the
small
business
eligibility
requirements
and
make
sure
that
it's
a
proportional
response
to
the
negative
impacts.
The
next
slide.
This
is
an
important
slide
that
was
important
to
our
our
group
that
we
assembled
of
this
different
business
leaders,
and
it
was
our
conclusion
that
phase
two
project
time
of
phase
two
both
supported
support
for
small
businesses,
you'll
see
in
the
left,
column,
the
second
row,
loans
and
grants
to
mitigate
financial
hardship
and
then
efficacy
of
economic
relief,
improvement
to
data
our
technology
infrastructure.
C
C
They
need
to
demonstrate
that
there
was
decreased
revenue
or
gross
receipts,
financial
insecurity,
increased
cost
capacity
to
weather
financial
hardship
and
challenges
covering
payroll
rent
or
mortgage
and
other
operating
costs.
So,
of
course,
that
will
be
part
of
the
application
process
in
proportional
response
to
the
negative
impacts.
Project
diamond
phase.
Two's
initiative
would
provide
six
point,
one
four
percent
of
the
total
arpa
dollars.
C
C
C
C
So
you
can
see
from
a
regional
perspective.
I
tried
to
put
these
numbers
together.
So
let
me
just
walk
you
through
so
the
top
region
there
holly
highland
milford
lyon,
township
south
lyon,
white
lake
commerce,
township
so
from
north
to
south,
the
west
side
of
oakland
county.
The
number
of
manufacturers
in
those
communities
is
146..
C
They
represent
5.6
percent
of
the
2626
manufacturing,
so
five
percent
of
the
manufacturing
is
done
in
oakland.
County
is
done
in
those
communities
in
project
diamond.
We
provided
23
3-d
printers
to
companies
located
in
that
region.
9.4.
The
reason
that's
in
green,
you
can
see
that's
slightly
above
the
percentage
average
of
how
many
of
how
many
manufacturers
are
in
that
community.
C
What
we
are
projecting
in
regards
to
for
project
diamond
phase
two
and
targeting
is
another
36
to
42
in
that
particular
area.
So
so
that's
the
purpose
of
of
this
graph
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
plan.
It's
not
just
all
the
applications
coming
in.
C
C
Additive
manufacturing
has
the
ability
to
create
ten
ten
to
thirty
two
thousand
new
skilled
jobs
in
oakland
county
and
could
result
in
a
spin-off
and
help
with
the
tax
base
of
25.1
million.
3D
printing
can
also
help
us
unsure
as
well
the
impact
of
inaction,
so
in
2001
manufacturing
in
oakland
county
declined,
17.4
percent
and
the
jobs
declined
38
percent
97
to
2016
we
saw
foreign
sourcing
of
parts
for
domestic
car
manufacturing
rose
10
to
15
percent
peer
countries
meet
80
to
90
percent
of
of
their
domestic
demand
with
regional
production.
C
U.S
needs
only
70
percent,
since
1990
manufacturers,
with
more
than
one
billion
in
assets,
had
seen
revenues
grow
grow
by
more
than
2000
annually.
What
are
we
talking
about
here?
We're
talking
about
the
bigs
getting
bigger
we're
talking
about
china
continually
to
grab
more
and
more
of
the
resources,
and
this
is
all
about
trying
to
reshore
this,
and
what
we
see
here
in
this
is
is
that,
while
small
and
medium-sized
manufacturers
posted
negative
growth,
this
program
is
about
helping
them.
C
The
conclusion
is
by
attra.
By
adopting
3d
printing,
we
will
attract
investment,
create
robust
new
markets,
ensure
leadership
and
prosperity
in
this
industry.
4.0,
public
and
private
sector
will
resolve
to
shore
up
manufacturing
sector
that
has
long
been
an
important
pillar
of
this
economy
and
our
nation's
economy
and
phase
two
combined
with
the
technology
and
market
opportunities
offers
a
rare
chance
to
change
the
existing
downward
trajectory
for
manufacturing.
C
The
direct
and
indirect
effects
could
boost
oakland
county
manufacturing
gdp
from
13
billion
to
21.7
billion,
while
adding
up
to
32
000
jobs.
Oakland
county
has
an
opportunity
to
help
our
companies
with
economic
recovery,
inclusive
growth,
resilience
and
capabilities
for
the
future.
So
that
concludes
the
presentation.
I'll
swing
back
around
here
and
I'll.
Ask
that
the
automation
alley
team
join
me
as
as
well
as
mr
valentine.
C
D
I
started
this
here
exactly
for
this
to
onshore
more
manufacturing
jobs.
That
is
our
stated
mission
and
as
a
we
are
a
small
company.
I
realize
we're
not
a
tier
one
or
we're
not
one
of
the
big
three.
We
do
a
couple
million
dollars
in
revenue
a
year.
We
we
employ
about
20
people.
D
D
So
I
would
say
that
you
know
we're
the
exactly
the
kind
of
company
that
you
know
helps
helps
build
a
local
economy
when
we
took
part
in
in
project
diamond.
I
really
didn't
know
what
I
was
getting
into.
I
had
no
idea
what
additive
manufacturing
was,
but
when
I
received
that
printer
you
know
very
quickly,
I
realized
it
was
a
tremendous
benefit
to
us.
D
We
are
able
to,
for
example,
what
we've
printed
hundreds
of
parts
that
we
use,
but
one
of
the
main
things
that
we've
been
printing
parts
for
our
equipment,
such
as
our
bottling
lines
when
our
bottling
line
is
down
we're
not
working
we're
not
producing
goods.
So
it's
very
important
to
keep
that
line
up
and
running
oftentimes.
D
D
I
was
actually
able
to
teach
myself
how
to
use
this
printer
and
the
software
that
you
need
to
to
go
along
with
it
and
we're
able
to
get
the
line
back
running
by
printing
our
own
parts.
You
know
within
hours
or
within
days,
so
it's
it's
been
a
tremendous
benefit
for
us.
That
way.
I
would
like
to
point
out
too
that
you
know.
During
the
early
days
in
the
pandemic,
we
made
probably
50
000
plus
gallons
of
hand.
C
And
tom,
do
you
want
to
just
do
a
quick
introduction
and
maybe
a
few
words
on
phase
two
and
then
and
then
we'll
be
prepared
for
questions.
E
Yeah,
just
I'm
tom
kelly
with
automation,
ali
I'm
with
my
chief
operating
officer
mazumdar,
who
also
heads
up
our
project
diamond
initiative
and
just
really
quick.
I
can't
thank
rafino
enough
because
rafino
absolutely
is
the
the
ideal
candidate
that
we
wanted
to
see
and
we're
seeing
you
know
we
the
last
time
I
was
in
front
of
you
guys.
I
think
we
talked
about
project
diamond
as
a
bell
curve
and
it
it's
it's
like
society.
E
You
know
you
have
some
that
are
off
and
running
right
when
they
get
the
printer
and
then
you
have
the
middle
market
like
rafino.
That's
like
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
I
have,
but
I'm
going
to
learn
about
it
and
then
they
transform
and
it's
changed
their
mindset
going
forward
and
we
have
some
laggard
as
sean
less
than
the
20,
probably
more
like
10,
but
those
are
the
ones
we
need
to
say.
Look.
Maybe
this
isn't
for
you,
let's
cycle
these
to
other
companies
that
can
use
this.
So
we've
been
good
stewards.
E
I
think
of
the
project
diamond
funding
that
has
been
entrusted
to
us
and
we
can
talk
a
lot
more
about
that,
like
what
happened
in
phase
one
and
where
we're
going
phase
two.
But
I
just
want
to
thank
ruffino
because
he's
such
a
great
example
of
what
we
want
america
to
look
like
going
forward
that
it
really
isn't
about
the
large
manufacturers
manufacturing
is
moving
from
capital
intensive
to
capital
light.
For
this
very
reason,
I
don't
need
to
build
a
great
big
plant
in
italy
to
kick
out
thousands
of
parts
from
my
distillers.
E
I
just
need
to
have
the
drawing
that
goes
to
rufino
or
any
other
distiller
in
the
world
and
they
print
those
components
so
think
about
what's
happening
in
the
world,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
ahead
of
that,
because
the
world
is
aware
of
this
and
everybody
in
the
u.s
and
the
world
are
moving
towards
this
digital
manufacturing
and
because
of
the
auto
industry.
It's
it's
in
many
ways.
It's
a
plus
100
percent.
E
We've
created
great
wealth
in
michigan
because
of
the
auto
industry,
but
because
you
create
that
wealth,
you
tend
to
not
be
focused
on
where
the
world
is
going
outside
of
what
you
know,
because
the
money
is
coming
in
every
day
from
your
customers
and
it's
our
job
as
automationly.
This
is
why
brooks
founded
us.
This
is
why
dave
coulter
and
dave
woodward
and
the
administration
today
are
are
focused
on
this.
It's
because
the
world
is
changing
and
it's
our
job
as
automation
ali
to
make
sure
that
our
manufacturers
are
prepared
for.
A
Any
discussion.
B
Just
a
couple
questions,
I
don't
think
it's
any
surprise.
I
have
fully
supported
phase
one
and
I've
liked
what
it's
done
so
far.
My
questions
are
more
of
going
into
phase
two
we're
looking
to
basically
triple
what's
out
there
today
right
and
so
one
of
my
questions
is:
do
we
have
the
interest
from
the
manufacturing
community,
the
two
2000
or
2600
businesses
out
there?
That
will
support
the
tripling
the
extra
750?
Do
we
have
that
information?
Because
I
mean
I
know
it's
a
small
portion.
B
E
Yeah.
Okay,
thank
you
sean
thank
you
mike.
So
I
want
to
answer
this
truthfully,
which
is
there's
a
there's.
A
curve,
that's
happening.
So
if
you
ask
a
small
manufacturer
today
say
what
is
your
pain,
they'll
say
my
pain
is,
I
need
workers
plain
and
simple.
I
have
more
orders
than
I
can
fulfill.
Every
single
manufacturer
in
our
county
is
saying
that
exact
same
thing.
If
I
only
had
workers,
I
could
get
this
done
well.
E
Meanwhile,
there's
this
insidious
thing
that's
happening,
which
is
the
world,
is
digitizing
and
automating
and
allowing
you
to
do
to
take
those
orders
with
the
same
amount
of
workers
and
or
maybe
just
a
few
more
right,
and
so
the
idea
is
we
need
to
be.
We
need
to
be
pushing
on
this,
so
every
manufacturer
is
going
to
be
in
the
3d
printing
business
we
have
to
and
and
we'll
put
the
ones
that
are
not
in
3d
printing
out
of
business.
We
need
to
decide
as
a
county
and
I'm
the
advocate
for
this.
E
E
This
is
this
is
this
is
amazing,
look
at
what
I
can
do
with
this
and
he's
now
in
the
digital
world,
because
he
now
has
awoken
to
what
is
possible
in
this
digital
world,
and
so
our
hope
is
that,
yes,
we
are,
we
are
going
to
have
a
heavy
lift
to
go
out
and
take
the
hand
of
as
many
manufacturers
as
we
can
and
says.
Please
let
us
teach
you
what
the
world
is
going
to
be
because
we
want
you
to
stay
in
michigan.
E
We
want
you
to
be
here,
and
I
think
that
those
curves-
because
it's
not
just
us
talking
the
world-
is
changing
around
them
as
we're
as
we're
going,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
four-year
project
right.
This
goes
to
2026.,
so
we
think
the
curve
of
them
going.
Oh,
my
god,
I
need
a
printer
and
us
having
printers
will
intersect
and
demand
will
be
greater
than
we
can
supply.
C
And
commissioner
spitz
a
great
question:
if
you
recall
in
the
cares
act
when
we
approved
this,
we
were
working
under
the
guise
of
we
had
until
1231
2020.,
so
we
distributed
250
printers
within
about
a
90
to
120
day
period,
so
those
that
might
have
been
resistant,
I'm
not
sure,
hey.
What's
what's
your
gig?
What's
your
angle
here,
you're
really
trying
to
push
this
on
me.
We
made
a
decision
of
not
to
distribute
funds
to
manufacturers
in
oakland
county,
like
we
did
for
small
businesses,
mom
and
pop
restaurants
in
retail.
C
We
weren't
going
to
give
them
dollars
just
to
get
out
of
the
jam
that
they
were
in,
and
so
that
was
a
conscientious
decision,
but
I
believe,
with
a
longer
runway,
as
as
tom
mentioned,
that
we'll
be
able
to
to
help
convince
folks
that
this
is
the
right
path.
There
might
be
some
folks,
there
say
I
don't.
I
don't
want
that,
but
we
we've
got
some
informational
campaign
that
needs
to
take
place.
Okay,.
B
I'm
sorry,
with
automation,
alley
being
at
the
forefront
of
this
and
pushing
and
going
out
to
our
manufacturers.
I
know
not,
unfortunately,
not
every
manufacturer
is
a
member
of
automation
alley
today,
I'm
assuming
we're
going
to
deal
with
all
manufacturers,
no
matter
if
they're
members
of
automation,
alley
or
not.
E
I
can
address
that
so
automationally,
since
about
the
last
three
years
we
have
changed
our
model
where
every
small
manufacturer
gets
a
free
membership
in
automation
alley.
That's
not
our
target
market
to
drive
revenue
dollars.
That's
our
target
market
we're
designed
to
help.
So
we
have
seven
segments
that
are
members
of
automation
alley.
We
have
large
manufacturers,
we
have
large
tech,
small
tech,
professional
services,
academia
and
government,
and
all
of
them
generate
a
revenue
for
automation,
alien
total
of
about
six
million
dollars
and
none
of
our
small
manufacturers.
E
There
are
a
few,
that's
that
that
pay
us
for
other
services
like
they
want,
over
and
above
what
what
they
do
getting
by
membership,
but
membership
is
free.
So
that
is
not
an
impediment
all
what
we.
What
we
have
to
do
is
make
them
aware
that
that
benefit
is
available
to
them
right,
and
so
that
will
not
be
an
objection
remind.
E
We
consider
it
under
20
million
in
revenue
we
think
after
20
million,
you
should
be
helping
your
small
brethren,
not
not
taking
from
automationly
so
much
as
being
a
part
of
the
solution
to
help
your
because,
if
you're
25
million
you
have
a
supply
chain
now
you're
big
enough
and
most
of
that,
if
you're
small,
like
that,
your
supply
chain
is
close
to
you.
C
F
So
the
the
printer,
you
got
it's
a
good
investment.
Would
you
have
been
willing?
You
got
it
for
free.
D
D
F
So,
let's
see
oh
tom,
you,
commissioner,
spitz,
asked
about
the
interest
level,
so
you
said
hope
and
think,
and
that
you're
able
to
get
250
out
is
like
the
longer
timeline
going
to
be
something
that
helps
you
like.
Do
you
have
a
list
already?
You
know
we
talked
to
like
the
sheriff's
office
in
this
room
about
getting
people
signed
up
for
like
school
resource
officers
or
trainings
or
something
they
have
to
come
to
us
with
a
list
that
says
we
already
got
10
people
that
care.
E
From
from
original
project
diamond,
but
we
we
we
not
knowing
that
phase
two
was
even
an
option.
When
we
were
running
that
list,
we
said
hey,
we
stopped
at
50
or
60
or
whatever
it
was.
We
said,
look
guys.
We
don't
want
to
create
a
false
hope.
There
is
no
money
to
do
to
continue
on
on
this
program,
so
we
have
a
list
of
about.
I
want
to
say
about
50
companies,
but
as
soon
as
we
open
it
up,
it
will
start
to
to
stack
up
again.
F
E
C
Forward
would
be
so
I
want
to
cook
just
298
because
we
had
50
of
them,
macomb
jumped
on
as
well,
and
they
made
an
investment.
So
I
want
to
clarify
250.
E
For
oakland
county
but
and
the
two
metal
printers
are
in
oakland
county
so
and
those
were
500
000
each
right,
so
it
really
skews
the
number.
So
the
printers
were
about
20
grand
each.
For
these
what's
called
a
mark
ii,
which
is
a
very
production
capable
printer.
We
had
how
many
x7s
so
x7
is
a
bigger
carbon
fiber
printer.
C
B
E
They
were
all
marked
forced
because
of
the
cares
act
because
of
the
time
constraint
we
single
sourced
it,
because
we
had
a
we
had
a
partner
with
somebody
going
forward.
We've
already
signed
up
on
the
ifcom,
we're
like
hey,
we
think
project
time.
Phase
two
is
going
to
happen.
Help
us
be
a
part
of
this.
We
have
hp
has
signed
up,
stratasys
has
signed
up
mark
forged,
has
signed
up
3d
systems.
We're
in
conversations
with
this
will
be
a
holistic
multi-vendor
environment,
because
each
one
of
them
has
different
capabilities.
E
E
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
ceo
of
a
up
in
auburn
his
multi-million
dollar
100
million
dollar
injection
molder,
I
said,
does
3d
printing
scare,
you
it'll
never
reach
our
price
point.
This
is
this
is
as
commoditized
in
the
industry
as
you
get
and
we're
talking
to
hp,
so
yeah
we're
going
to
put
them
out
of
business
right.
So
this
is
the
disconnect.
This
is
someone
that's
supposed
to
be
extremely
sophisticated
and
aware
of
the
of
what
technology
does,
but
if
you're
in
manufacturing,
you
really
don't
have
time
to
be.
E
Lo,
what's
silicon
valley
doing
you
wait
for
silicon
valley
to
knock
on
your
door
and
say
hey.
I
got
this
new
thing,
they're
not
doing
that
anymore.
What
silicon
valley's
saying
hey!
I
got
this
new
thing.
Let's
start
up
a
business
put
you
out
of
business
because
I
can
make
a
lot
more
money
than
just
selling
you
the
printer,
because
I
get
the
cash
flow
forever.
E
E
B
F
B
F
F
Then
this
kind
of
comes
to
another
thing
is,
I
don't
think,
and
maybe
I'm
wrong
here
committee,
but
I
don't
think
I've
seen
the
phase
one
report
and
also
this
powerpoint
is
brand
new
that
we
just
saw
and
what
you're
talking
about
is
kind
of
a
big
range
of
stuff
I've.
F
It
feels
uncomfortable
to
hand
over
15
million
dollars
for
you
to
say
we're
gonna
like
try
and
let
the
market
dictate
to
seed
it.
So
do
you
have
any
like
you
have
documents
you
can
share.
You
know.
I
know
we've
been
through
this
before
where
you
send
spreadsheets
after
the
meeting.
Maybe.
C
F
C
C
Yeah
we
we
shared
in
early
2021
when
you
were
a
brand
new
commissioner.
We
shared
those
results,
so
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
going
on
in
the
last
two
years,
so
it's
very
easy
to
fair
enough.
Maybe
miss
those
but
yeah
okay,
we'd
be
happy
to
share
those
again
with
you.
Please.
F
A
Yeah,
I
will
commissioner
wiper.
G
C
We've
got
two
of
them
right
now.
We've
got
one
in
novi
and
I
think
the
other
one's
up
in
rochester
rochester
hills,
that's
correct
that
aren't
just
for
those
companies,
that's
for
the
community
to
to
use,
and
so,
as
they've
mentioned,
it's
a
3d
printer
community,
but
we're
also
looking
in
regards
to
a
few
of
those
investments
and
with
phase
two.
C
It
wouldn't
be
very
many
because
we're
really
trying
to
hit
a
a
big
swath
here
and
make
sure
that
we
create
a
tipping
point,
but
there
are
a
few
more
investments
that
we
would
make
and
would
be
our
recommendation.
E
And
sean,
might
I
ask
pavin
to
address
the
commissioner
wiper's
question
because
we
do
an
assessment
for
every
single
manufacturer
to
decide?
What's
the
appropriate
technology
for
their
exact
business.
H
Yeah,
so
thank
you
for
that.
So
the
way
we
see
companies
you
know-
and
tom
mentioned
this-
where
manufacturing
is
going
is
manufacturing,
is
becoming
software
driven,
it
is
becoming
distributed
and
additive
technology
is
the
one
technology
that
kind
of
encompasses
that
discipline,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
a
business,
one
of
the
things
we
do
is
we
do
an
assessment
on
them
and
we
look
at
three
different
dimensions.
We
look
at
their
culture
because
the
traditional
manufacturing
culture
is
very
process
driven
today.
Manufacturing
is
process
based.
H
H
Can
I
start
them
thinking
about
design
before
they
start
thinking
about
production,
and
so
that's
why
we
have
a
smaller
printer
to
be
much
more
judicious
with
with
the
allocation
of
resources
to
say
you
know
what
you
should
be,
focusing
more
on
the
workflows
on
the
digital
side
of
things
and
understanding
how
this
is
going
to
impact
your
business,
then
you
might
have
a
company
that
is
somewhere
in
the
middle
they've
kind
of
taken.
The
lead
they've
done
a
little
bit
in
software,
but
they
haven't
explored
additive
as
a
modality
in
manufacturing.
H
They
would
get
sort
of
what
we
would
call
a
mid-range
printer.
That
would
be
along
the
lines
of
like
this
x7
that
we
talked
about.
They
make
higher
volume
production
components
by
the
way,
even
that
smaller
printer
will
make
production
components.
It's
not
a
it's,
not
a
charge,
key
maker,
it's
not
a
toy
maker.
So
the
this
is
the
important
thing,
and
then
you
have
the
organizations
that
have
already
integrated
workflows.
H
They
are
actually
making
production
parts
and
those
are
the
companies
that
would
get
the
more
expensive
higher
volume
printers
and
also
serve
as
a
community
resource.
Because
the
community
builds
upon
itself,
manufacturers
trust
other
manufacturers.
You
know
as
much
as
we
can
say
you
might
agree
with
me.
You
would
be
much
more
willing
to
give
you
know
more
credence
to
a
fellow
manufacturer
because
they
live
your
world.
They
understand
what
you're
going
through
right,
and
so
that's
the
important
that's
how
we
would
select
the
business.
G
C
And
I
I
think
the
informational
campaign
will
also
talk
about
where
a
small
business
is
at.
Of
course,
we
know
we
have
some
information
to
understand
where
they're
at
and
we'll
be
targeting
those
companies
as
well,
but
we'll
also
provide
different
options,
unlike
phase
one
where
we
just
had
mark
forge,
we'll,
have
different
options
to
to
better
fit
the
equipment
and
and
where
that
company
is
at
in
in
their
whole
growth
of
of
their
company
too
so,
and
the
application
process
will
be
a
little
bit
different
to
oakland
county
economic
development.
C
A
I
know
you're
you're
on
the
list,
commissioner
spitz,
but
when
gwen
marcum
hasn't
gone
yet
so
you
give
her
for
a
first
time.
Commissioner
markham
picture.
I
That's
the
mic.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Excuse
me
good
morning
everybody.
So
my
history
is
that
I
spent
my
life
as
a
process
engineer
with
a
number
of
different
companies
and
when
you
say
you
know
thinking
about
designing
before
man
for
manufacturing,
it
was
always
one
of
our
biggest.
I
I
First
of
all,
as
my
position
in
local
government
and
I've
been
in
local
government
in
various
positions
for
about
20
years,
I
have
sat
and
watched
the
state
of
michigan
and
oakland
county
and
governments
left
and
right
handing
out
tax
abatements
to
big
companies
that
will
come
in
and
they'll
come
out
to
where
I
am
in
novi
and
they'll.
Take
a
nice
pace,
piece
of
green
property
promise
that
they're
going
to
bring
us
300
jobs.
We
give
them
a
12
million
dollar
12-year
tax
abatement
and,
four
years
later,
the
building's
empty
okay.
I
I
So
I
appreciate
the
philosophy
of
trying
to
target
these
small
businesses
as
opposed
to
the
bigger
ones
right,
because
they
are,
we
don't
think
of
it
that
way,
but
they
really
are
the
foundational
base
of
our
economy
here
in
oakland
county,
and
so
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
do
what
we
can
to
support
you
in
ways
that
are
going
to
pay
off.
You
know
versus
the
empty
building
after
three
years
out
where
I
am
so
a
couple
of
questions:
the
big
3d
metal
printing.
I
I
What's
your
training
structure
look
like
for
you
come
into
mr
raffini's
company,
and
how
do
you
train
people
as
to
what
they
need,
and
you
know
what's
that
partnership
look
like.
H
You
hit
it
right
on
the
head,
it
it's
the
training
that
makes
the
difference
right
because
the
when
you
look
at
a
3d
printer,
it
looks
so
completely
different
from
anything
you
have
you.
Might
you
might
agree
with
it?
You
know
it
looks
actually
like
a
sleek
microwave
machine,
microwave,
oven.
Sorry-
and
you
look
at
this
and
you
go.
This
is
supposed
to
make
something
something
for
me.
So
in
phase
one
with
the
partnership
of
mark
forge,
we
had
something
called
mark
ford
university
and
it
was
a
full
training
program.
D
H
And
again
it
was
a
compressed
time
frame.
We
had
90
to
120
days.
We
used
markforged
university
because
it
was
pre-packaged.
It
was
very
aligned
with
with
their
equipment
in
phase
two,
it's
going
to
be
much
more
about
some
of
the
other
themes
that
appear
as
your
process
engine.
You
you'll
understand
this.
When
you
talk
about
additive,
you
start
with
the
outcome
in
mind,
not
the
process
in
mind,
and
so
you
have
to
do
something
called
design
for
additive
manufacturing.
It's
a
culture
shift
and
so
we're
putting
together.
H
We
are
assembling
and
not
just
in
the
us,
but
we
have
a
partnership
with
manchester
university
in
the
uk.
They've
approached
us
because
they've
built
an
excellent
curriculum
on
how
you
can
do
this
culture
shift
and
make
that
content
available
for
our
manufacturers.
So
training
is
one
of
those
things
and
also
a
part
of
the
training
piece
is
the
design,
but
part
of
it
is
integrating
that
workflow
in
your
organization
today,
a
lot
of
manufacturers
are
still
pushing
paper
along
their
lines,
because
that
is
how
they
used
to
manage
the
process.
H
Now
the
threat
is
digital,
and
so
and
again
this
is
why
additive
is
going
to
be
such
a
transformative
play
or
a
dynamic
that,
if,
if
you
don't,
if
you
are
not
up
to
speed
on
additive,
that
transformation
is
going
to
come
so
quickly,
you're
not
going
to
have
time
to
respond,
and
so,
along
with
the
training
for
the
design
for
additive,
it
is.
How
do
you
bring
it,
create
a
collaborative
workflow
within
your
organization
so
that
you're
actually
having
this
this
team
effort
in
in
the
organization?
H
It's
it's
much
more
than
just
the
additive
piece,
but
training
is
absolutely
and
we
call
it.
You
know
in
our
own
little
world,
we
call
it
change
management
right,
it's
basically,
how
am
I
changing
the
culture
of
the
organization,
but
one
step
at
a
time
without
it
becoming
too
traumatic,
because
you
still
have
to
get
your
product
out.
You
still
have
to
do
all
of
that.
So
how
can
we
build
this?
This
balance
of
change,
but
without
you
know
impacting
what's
going
on
today,.
I
Thank
you
for
that.
My
second
question
is
you're.
Talking
about
a
couple
thousand
of
these.
Is
there
a
supply
issue
with
the
3d
printers.
H
Good
question
and
we've
been
having
so
we've
been
cautious
right.
We
we
can't,
we
start
talking
to
any
vendor
the
moment
they
hear
about
project
diamond
and
they
they
think
about
project
diamond
phase
everybody's.
You
know
they're,
all
like.
Oh,
when
can
the
where's
your
po
like?
No?
No?
No,
where
where
is
it
you're
absolutely
correct?
There
are
some
situations
where
there
are
some
constraints
and
there
are
some
situations
where
there
aren't.
So
we,
when
you
know
we
move
forward.
That's
when
we'll
know
how
do
we
balance
this
out?
H
We
don't
need
to
wait
for
that
supply
chain
to
to
get
loose,
because
the
idea
is.
If
I
can
train
someone
and
use
a
community
resource,
their
knowledge
can
be
put
to
use
immediately.
It
doesn't
mean
they
need
to
have
that
physical
printer,
yes,
is
it?
Is
it
beneficial
absolutely,
but
if
rafino
could
go
in
and
print
and
design
a
component
and
then
send
it
to
print
to
some
other
project
diamond
member,
because
it's
a
collaborative
network
which,
by
the
way,
unfortunately
will
go
away?
H
B
H
One
of
the
things,
as
you
saw
in
the
presentation
we
executed
this
request
from
the
ukraine
ministry
of
defense
for
these
tourniquet
parts
which,
by
the
way
they
were
not
able
to
produce
with
traditional
methods
because
they
didn't
have
the
the
dyes
the
dyes
weren't,
the
molds
weren't
available.
H
We
did
that
using
something
that
we
call
the
command
center.
The
command
center
is
a
piece
of
software
in
which
we
can
take
over
the
network.
It's
not
like.
We
don't
take
it
over.
As
in
you
know,
we
shut
everything
down,
but
there's
a
mechanism
where
we
can
send
a
print
file
to
300
printers,
because
the
macomb
printers
are
also
part
of
this
network.
That
is
not
a
commercial
network
that
is
just
a
send
printout
and
get
this.
You
know
an
emergency
network.
H
The
objective
in
phase
two
is
to
actually
build
a
marketplace
where
we
can
actually
be
able
to
distribute
orders
and
have
commercial
activity.
So
if,
if
rafino's
printer
is
not
active,
he
might
actually
have
the
ability
to
generate
print
files
or
produce
print
files
for
commercial
activity
and
make
that
commercial
activity
be
sustainable,
sustain
essentially
the
network.
H
So
at
some
point,
that
network
becomes
sustainable
and
it
becomes
an
open
marketplace
that
produces
components,
and
it's
not
just
big
players,
placing
orders,
it's
small
players
having
the
ability
to
produce
like
bigs,
because
if
I
design
a
component-
and
I
just
have
one
printer-
but
I
can
leverage
the
800
or
so
printers-
I
now
have
great
manufacturing
capacity.
Now
there
are
some
elements
we
need
to
put
in
place
which
we're
working
on
standardization
of
quality
and
things
like
that,
but
we
are
working
on
on
those
pieces
as
well.
That
would
be
the
objective.
H
So
at
you
know
when
this
becomes,
you
know
when
the
sun
sets
it.
It's
a
self-sustaining
economy.
B
And
I
can
understand
the
self-sustaining
system
by
itself,
but
let's
say
we
out
of
the
thousand.
We
have
200
that
are
no
longer
using
the
machine
for
whatever
reason
they
went
out
of
business,
they
decided
they
wanted
to
play.
The
game
is
automationally
still
going
to
be
in
the
business
of
taking
those
200
machines,
because
I'm
assuming
you're
not
signing
over
ownership
directly
to
the
manufacturer,
yeah,
there's
clawback
cloths
that
you're
going
to
say.
Okay,
I
have
200
more.
I
got
200
other
small
businesses,
I'm
going
to
continue.
H
B
B
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Now
this
is
going
to
kind
of
tie
into
what
charlie's
question
was.
I
don't
believe,
you're
you're
here
today
asking
for
15
million
dollars
to
start,
let's
say
january
1.,
you
don't
want
a
15
million
dollar
check
to
start
you're
going
to
have
a
ramp
up
plan
through
23,
24,
25
and
26,
and
you're
going
to
extend
that
15
million
out
of
that
entire
lifetime.
B
That's
at
least
my
thinking
and
I'd
like
you
to
confirm
that
for
me,
sorry,
so
from
a
spend
perspective,
you're
saying:
okay,
maybe
I
might
spend
8
million
in
2023,
24
25
and
another
3
million
that
doesn't
add
to
15,
probably
but
to
26..
Is
that
kind
of
your
strategy
and
your
thought
process?
It's.
I
just
want
this
bucket
of
15
million
dollars
and
I'm
going
to
slice
it
as
I
need
it
probably
start
up
fast
and
then
that's.
C
B
Along
the
way,
I
would
definitely
like,
updates
and
reports
and
see
how
things
are
going,
because
it's
something
that
I
think
is
very
important
not
only
to
open
county
but
to
the
industry,
and
I've
been
on
the
back
of
3d
printing
for
a
decade
prior
to
this.
So
I
fully
understand
the
technology
and
I
think
it's
it's
the
future
and,
as
you
guys
may
have
heard
me
say
you
know,
for
my
my
day
job
we
bought
3d
printers
10
years
ago.
B
It
was
the
best
investment
the
company
ever
made.
They
were,
they
now
run
24
7
365
and
when
some
of
the
engineers
engineers
in
general,
like
to
touch
field
parts
right,
is
anybody
to
manufacture
like
to
touch
and
feel
versus
looking
at
a
piece
of
paper
on
a
computer
screen,
for
example?
So
when
you
can
touch
and
feel
it,
so
they
might
need
one
part
they're,
building
three
or
four,
so
we
actually
had
to
slow
them
down
and
say:
okay,
you
guys
are
building
too
many
parts.
B
E
B
First
got
it:
it
wasn't
really
the
first
year.
It
wasn't
really
that
difficult,
because
what
happened
is
normally
in
the
initial
stages
of
3d
printing.
You
know
you
had
all
these
machining
businesses
out
there
that
did
everybody
had
to
delay
the
cnc
machine.
The
multi-axe
you
were
going
out
to
them.
Parts
were
taking
six
seven,
eight
ten
weeks,
plus
costing
you
a
pen
would
cost.
Let's
say
this
pen
cost
you
a
thousand
dollars
apart,
because
you
had
to
machine
it
by
hand
and
took
you
20
hours.
F
H
H
What
actually
happens
in
small
businesses-
and
you
might
want
to
talk
about
this-
is
ownership
and
the
frontline
workers
are
a
lot
closer
than
they
are
in
larger
organizations
when
we
did
when
we
gave
it
there's
another
company,
alcs
and
liquid
systems
this
printer
to
to
them.
It
was
a
very
similar
experience.
The
owner,
who
had
been
in
traditional
manufacturing
had
really
not
a
lot
of
interest
till
those
first
parts
started
coming
out
and
he
saw
actually
this.
H
We
have
a
case
study
where
he
had
a
component
that
cost
a
hundred
dollars
that
they
were
out
basically
purchasing
from
the
outside
and
they
were
able
to
print
it
internally,
and
at
that
point
he
was
transformed.
He
was
like
oh
wow.
This
is
awesome
and
he
started
essentially
asking
his
engineers
so
we're
talking
about
middle
management
to
start
looking
at
applications.
H
Those
engineers
started
developing
applications,
many
of
them
for
ergonomic
applications.
You
know
things
that
would
be
like
little
handles
or
things
like
that.
What
happened
three
to
six
months
after
that
was
it
was
the
frontline
workers
were
working
with
the
equipment
date
on
the
day-to-day
basis
that
were
coming
up
with
the
ideas.
H
They
were,
the
ones
who
were
basically
saying
hey.
You
know
what,
when
I
do
this,
this
handle
juts
out
this
much
and
my
the
web
of
my
palm
and
I'm
making
this
up.
But
this
is
an
illustration
you
know
hurts
and
every
single
time
I
you
know
it,
just
it's
a
pain.
Can
we
just
like
maybe
put
a
little
thing
here
that
we
that
we
push
out
and
they'd
be
like?
H
Okay,
let's
prototype
this,
and
so
it's
it's
very
interesting,
the
in
small
businesses
and
by
the
way
before
I
was
with
automation
ali
I
I
was
running
a
small
business.
We
are
very
close
to
our
frontline
workers,
not
that
doesn't
happen
in
large
organizations.
So
again
I
don't
know
the
answer
about
the
union
shop,
but
I
can
tell
you
about
the
culture.
The
culture
is
much
more
close-knit
in
a
small
business
than
it
is
in
a
in
in
a
large
organization.
E
D
F
So
then
question
for
you,
I
guess
too
then
is
I
mean
no
disrespect,
but
you
didn't
see
the
value
of
this.
Then
you
got
one
for
free
from
the
government.
Now
you
see
the
benefit
of
it.
So
there
was
a
day
before
you
had
the
printer
and
then
there's
the
day
after
in
our
country.
Isn't
it
kind
of
on
you,
the
business
owner
and
this
small
cadre
of
people
working
at
valentine
distillery,
to
figure
out
how
to
innovate?
F
D
D
That's
the
way
we,
you
know
we
feel
like
we
can
make
the
best
spirits,
so
I
think,
to
be
able
to
bring
a
company
like
us
into
the
into
the
future.
I
it
can
only
speak
for
me,
it
was
it's
great
for
our
company
and.
E
Commissioner
cavill,
what
we're
wrestling
with
this
is
what
automation,
only
wrestles
with
day
in
and
day
out
is
apathy
in
the
manufacturing
community.
That
said,
if
we
went
to
them
and
said,
look
you
know,
here's
a
20
grand
printer.
You
only
have
to
pay
5
grand
now
we
do
charge
them
49
a
month.
So
if
you
take
that
over
the
three
year
life
of
project
diamond
phase-
one
that's
occurring,
they
are
paying
49
49
a
month.
So
it's
it's
just
enough
of
a
hurdle
to
say
look,
you
know
this
isn't
just
a
freebie.
E
You
have
to
want
it
with
us,
but
if
we
said
you
know,
instead
of
20
grand
you
give
us
five
grand
and
we'll
give
you
the
printer
their
cfo
says.
I
I
don't
understand
what
the
return
on
investment
is.
We
got
so
many
fires
going
on.
Why
would
we
go
get
a
printer?
Go
use
that
five
grand
to
hire
kelly
services
to
get
a
person
in
here?
They
just
don't
see
the
risk.
If
I
went
to
somebody
and
said
hey,
this
thing,
covett
is
coming.
Let
me
give
you
a
vaccine,
they
go
the
hell.
E
Are
you
talking
about
what
what
are
you
even
talking
about?
This
is
why
we,
we
believe
as
automation,
alley
why
we
said
to
sean.
When
we
first
went
down
this
path,
you
cannot
make
it
a
loan
or
a
or
something
that
you
put
them
on
the
hook.
If
you
want
to
do
true
economic
development,
you
have
to
seed
the
market
with
a
fishing
pole,
and
then
you
have
to
teach
them
how
to
fish
and
then
they're
hooked.
E
But
if
you
say
look
I'm
not
in
the
fishing
industry
and
what
what
the
hell
am
I
going
to
do
the
fishing
pole,
what
I
don't
care
if
it's
half
price
it
means
nothing
to
me
right.
That's
why
we
consciously
made
the
decision
that
we
have
to
give
them
the
printer
and
then
then
seed
the
market
with
these,
and
that
creates
the
change
and
what
we
hope
will
happen
is
when
we
hit
this
critical
mass.
E
It's
that
the
other
1500
manufacturers
in
oakland
county
come
on
board
because
they're
we've
hit
enough
people
that
are
having
enough
conversations
that
they
then
go
to
to
their
owner
and
say
yes,
I
would
like
a
printer
and
the
owner
says:
yeah,
you
know
bob
and
mary
and
frank
and
everybody
they
all
got
one
and
they
love
him.
And
now
we
can.
I
I
want
to
take
that
risk.
That's
that's
why
we
think
it
has
to
be
a
grant.
D
C
And
what
I
would
say
is
our
job
in
economic
development
is
in
some
ways
to
be
looking
out
and
looking
in
the
future.
Michigan
has
always
rested
on
the
fact
that
we
are
the
sub.
You
know
the
hub
of
putting
the
world
on
wheels.
We
cannot
take
that
for
granted.
Tennessee
and
kentucky
are
coming
for
us.
They've
been
getting
more
designations
for
ev
sites
there,
electric
vehicles
than
us
in
michigan.
F
C
F
C
E
E
I
actually
don't
think
that's
the
play.
The
play
is
not
to
give
them
a
printer.
The
play
is
to
give
them
a
printer
that
then
stitches
them
into
an
ecosystem
that
is
sticky
that
they
don't
ever
want
to
leave,
because
if
I
go
from
oakland
county
to
tennessee,
I
have
to
leave
this
ecosystem.
I
have
to
unplug
from
this
ecosystem,
never
to
return,
and
now
I,
how
do
I,
how
do
I
find
the
capital
to
take
advantage
of
700
other
printers?
E
I
can't
possibly
do
it,
so
this
is
as
much
of
a
software
play
as
it
is
a
hardware
play,
and
I
personally
believe
it's
all
a
software
play.
The
hardware
is
irrelevant
because
the
hardware
is
going
to
change
over
time.
It's
the
ecosystem,
we're
we're
subtly
building
an
ecosystem
that
cannot
be
divorced
from
without
tremendous
pain
and
that's
what
we
want
to
do
in
oakland
county
that
creates
the
sticky
so.
F
Okay,
my
bad,
but
everything
here
says
instead
of
coming
back
to
edi
the
economic
development
department
will
do
that.
I
mean.
Is
there
any
willingness
to
be
a
little
bit
more
collaborative?
Because
this
feels
like
we're
giving
you
money
and
then
you'll
send
us
a
report
and
we
won't
be
able
to
adjust.
C
Yeah,
well
I
mean
our
job,
you
know
and
I'll
just
say
this
is
a
government.
You
know
functions,
no
disrespect
yeah,
the
executive
branch
needs
to
execute
the
legislative
branch
needs
to
legislate
and
so
you're
asking
to
be
collaborative
in
an
operational
component,
and
I
think
we
just
need
to
remember
our
roles
so
so
we're
happy
to
be
collaborative
and
we
have
been
on
other
programs.
C
I
mean
if,
if
we
want
to
invite
a
few
commissioners
to
sit
down
with
the
economic
development
team,
to
look
at
the
applications
that
are
being
recommended
by
adam
macinelli,
no
problem
with
that.
Okay,
we've
done
that
in
the
past
yeah.
F
I
understand
where
industry
4.0
is
going,
but
this
doesn't
feel
right
to
me
and
then
also
then
competing
priorities
with
what
we
do
at
this
arpa
and
there's
supposed
to
be
a
pause
with
the
arpa
allocations
that
hillary
told
us
about.
So
we're
supposed
to
be
making
sure
we're
reflecting
and
adapting
to
figure
out
what
we
want
to
do
with
the
remaining
arpa.
This
feels
ill-timed.
F
A
All
right,
so
we
have
commissioner
spitz
for
a
third
time.
Then,
commissioner,
woodward
and
I'll
give
some
final,
charlie.
B
Drove
a
couple
more
questions
for
me
and
it
might,
it
might
help
it
might
hurt,
I
don't
know,
but
with
each
piece
of
equipment,
there's
always
maintenance
on
them.
So
who
is
funding
the
maintenance
on
these
pieces
of
equipment?
Some
have
maintenance
contracts
that
they
might
have
with
the
250
and
it'll
just
expand
when
you
get
the
750
and
that's
that's
not
a
cheap
expense,
so
who's
paying
for
that
maintenance
is
automation
alley
paying
part
of
it.
Is
it
coming
out
of
49
a
month?
B
H
So
in
in
phase
one,
the
maintenance
was
included
in
in
the
package
for
a
duration.
It
was
in
in
you.
I
don't
know
what
your
experience
has
been
with
maintenance,
but
they're
pretty
solid
machines.
But
every
time
something
happens,
you
have
mark
forced
to
call
right.
Yeah,
yeah,.
D
B
H
Trying
to
do
right
the
idea,
though
the
idea
is,
you
know
you
get
this
printer
and
you
get
to
a
point
where
you
start
realizing.
This
printer
is
indispensable
and
at
some
point
you
basically
say
got
it
and
I'm
gonna
take
it
and
I'm
gonna
run
with
this
and
at
some
point
you
take
over
the
full
responsibility
of
the
major
agree.
B
Or
they
buy
their
own
because
they
need
something
and
then
they
give
that
one
back
and
we
go
somewhere
else,
there's
also
an
option,
one
of
the
other
things
I
just
wanted
to
point
out,
and
this
will
be
my
final
comment
for
my
third
time
sean
a
couple
times.
You
brought
up
onshoring
and
not
in
any
of
these
questions
and
not
showing
come
on
and
one
of
the
things.
Okay,
one
of
the
things
that
sorry
dave.
B
B
Let
me
put
it
that
way:
right
we're
not
paying
a
tool
builder
in
china
to
build
a
part,
and
maybe
some
cases
actually
run
production
of
that
part
in
china
and
ship.
It
here
now,
you're
actually
going
to
have
that
production
here
in
this
country
versus
sending
it
there.
So
to
me,
that's
a
plus-
and
I
think
it
needs
to
be
touted
a
little
bit
more-
that
we're
looking
to
reduce
the
amount
of
work.
That's
going
off
sure
good
good.
J
Okay,
great
well,
I
mean
gentlemen.
Thank
you
very
much.
Last
night
I
was
enjoying
your
white
blossom
product,
maybe
a
little
too
much,
and
I
mean
I
think
your
story
is
so
compelling.
I
mean
in
terms
of
what
ex
incorporating
this
technology
rethinking
the
business
model
and
using
it
to
help
shape
like
the
future
growth.
I
mean
it's
so
telling,
and
your
story,
I
think,
is
symbolic
of
a
lot
of
things.
J
J
What
the
what
the
pilot
and
the
reporting
that
you
and
we
did
submit,
I
mean
from
the
from
round
one
that
took
an
inventory.
We
have
actually
one
of
the
best
inventories
of
our
manufacturing
base
in
oakland
county
in
the
history
of
oakland
county.
It's
I
mean
in
large
part
because
of
a
diamond
phase
one
there
are.
There
are
a
number
of
things
that
are
there.
J
Many
of
these
people
may
make
one
two
three
parts
for
the
auto
suppliers.
We
are
about
to
go
into
an
ev
production
that
requires
less
parts
for
these
manufacturers
and
the
jobs
that
they
support
to
be
maintained.
They
have
to
make
more
than
what
they
just
currently
do,
and
they
have
to
be
nimble
and
ability
ability
to
do
that,
and
I
think
you've
done
I
mean
and
didn't
really
come
up
in
the
presentation.
Today.
You've
got
operations
that
are
set
in
their
ways.
This
is
the
way
we've
done
it
for
the
last
20
years.
J
The
potential
of
I
mean
leveraging
this
technology
and
you
did
talk
about
the
ecosystem,
where,
as
I
mean,
the
shift
from
capital
intensive
to
capital
light,
I
mean
it's
really
stuck
with
me,
because
it's
it
is
how
that
mom-and-pop
manufacturing
is
able
to
compete
in
the
long-term
and
to
build
a
resilient
manufacturing
economy
that
can
take
the
blows
of
a
pandemic
of
recession
and
all
these
other
types
of
things,
because
it
can
move
faster,
it
can
produce
the
things
on
demand
and,
frankly,
help
support
a
host
of
industries
instead
of
supporting
one
or
two
parts
for
one
industry
and
one
vehicle
and
one
production
production
line.
J
I
look
at
this
as
something
that
is
helping
catalyze,
a
new
approach
to
a
sector
that
is
very
significant
to
the
oakland
county
economy
and
it's
getting
people
to
do
something
at
least
to
entertain
the
idea
that
they
might
not
be
I
mean
recognizing
is
the
most
important,
because
I
think
you
I
mean
you
highlighted
that
we
need
to
get
more
people
on
the
line,
so
they
can
make
another.
I
mean,
make
this
part
a
little
bit
faster.
J
This
is
trying
to
take
three
five,
ten
steps
ahead,
I
mean
and
and
projecting
I
mean
I
mean
and
anticipating
what
that,
what
that
can
be.
I
mean
I
don't
know
at
the
end
in
some
ways
we're
talking
about
trying
to
support
the
creation
of
an
industry
to
manufacture
the
things
that
I
don't
know
what
is
going
to
be
manufactured
in
the
future,
but
having
the
fundamental
components
to
be
able
to
do
that.
J
Do
that
I
mean
make
sense
when
I
look
at
the
return
on
investment,
15
million
dollars
of
to
to
see
the
the
transformation
of
our
manufacturing
sector
to
be
relevant
and
resilient
for
the
next
decade
decades
and
beyond.
I
think
it
I
mean
it
pays
it
over
and
over
in
terms
of
value,
the
jobs
that
are
tied
to
this
industry
to
hold
those
jobs,
because
there
is
a
big
giant,
crushing
wave.
J
That
is
coming
that
if
there
is
not
some
shift-
and
I
and
I
support-
I
mean
commissioner
cabell's
like
point
it's
like
well-
should
they
just
I
mean
if
you
don't
adjust
you
get
taken
out
my
biggest
concern
and
I've
seen
this
when
I
mean
when
there's
been
like
statewide
or
even
regional
economic
development
like
we
need
to
diversify
our
economy
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
we're
not
going
to
make
things
anymore,
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
try
to
invest
in
these
industries.
This
is
a
doubling
down
on
making
things
in
america.
J
This
is
this
is
betting
on
the
home
team
and,
frankly,
the
thing
that
helped
build
the
I
mean
build
the
middle
class
in
this
area
and
to
be
able
to
to
visualize
like
where
we
I
mean
we.
We
have
seen
success
of
putting
these,
I
mean
with
these
3d
printers,
because
I
think
it
is
important.
There's
a
capital
investment
there,
but
it's
it.
It
is
less
about
the
printer.
It
is
about
building
this
network.
It's
about.
I
mean
these.
I
mean
these
operations
working.
J
I
mean
working
together
diversifying
and
being
able
to
maintain
relevance
for
the
long
term,
and
so
I
think
that
I'm
supportive
of
this
program,
I
think
it's
absolutely
necessary.
I
think
that
this
I
mean,
I
think,
to
think
about
this
as
seeding
further
development
of
I
mean
an
economic
development
that
doesn't
just
say
on
a
promise
and
a
whim
that
a
tax
abatement
produces
this
many
jobs.
This
is,
I
mean
there
are
metrics
and
performances
that
have
to
happen.
You
have
to
use
it.
J
If
you
don't
use
it,
it
will
be
put
somewhere
else.
It
is,
I
mean
training.
I
mean,
I
think,
there's
a
whole
workforce
development
arm
of
training.
How
to
actually
do
this.
I
think
it
helps
protect
the
jobs
that
we
have.
J
I
think
it
will
lend
itself
and
yes,
I
mean
there's
an
automation
component
and
that
is
going
to
be
happening,
but
it
also,
I
I
mean
believe,
also
frees
up
the
ability
for
labor
to
be
able
to
be
more
productive,
to
do
more
things
and
to
create
those
jobs
that
these
manufacturers
are
going
to
support.
So
I
support
it.
I
believe
I'm
going
to
make
sure
I
covered
everything
in
my
list
here:
the
network
ev
retaining
jobs,
improvement,
yeah.
One
question
in
terms
of
like
the
evaluation
of
the
applicant,
so
automation
alley.
J
C
They'll
be
an
application.
We'll
certainly
need
to
make
sure
that,
in
that
application,
that
the
arpa
eligibility
parameters
are
met
according
to
treasury
guidance.
That's
number
one,
first
and
foremost,
because
we
don't
want
an
auditor
coming
back
later
and
saying:
no,
they
they
weren't
qualified.
So
so
that
will
be
very
important
to
make
sure
we'll
go
through
the
application
process.
Automation
alley,
we'll
put
those
applications
out,
they'll
review
them
in
regards
to
giving
us
candidates
in
economic
development.
Based
upon
the
recommendations,
we'll
ask
questions
in
in
whether
we
confirm
or
hey.
C
We
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
good
distribution
regionally
as
well.
We
saw
proportional
to
to
where
the
manufacturers
are.
We
don't
want
one.
You
know
necessary.
You
know
area
that
might
only
have
five
percent
manufacturing
somehow
has
20
percent
of
the
printers,
so
so
there'll
be
a
balancing
act
and
that
will
be
the
responsibility
of
the
oakland
county
economic
development
department
to
make
sure
that
that's
taking
place.
J
Thank
you.
So
these
are
my
next
things
are
technical
in
terms
of
cleaning
this
up
a
little
bit
that,
as
the
resolution
is
currently
written,
it
says
hereby
assigns
50
million
dollars.
This
should
be
hereby
appropriate.
So
if
I
can
make
a
motion
to
stretch,
I
got
some
comments
before
you
got
comments.
Oh.
A
A
E
The
federal
government
has
a
byzantine
way
that
they
calculate
it,
but
the
minimum
that
you're
allowed
to
charge
is
ten
percent
and
that's
what
and
that's
what
our
overhead
rate
is
over
the
life
of
the
thing?
Okay,
so
it's
it's
for
ever
many
years!
That's
what
the
overhead
is
ten
percent
by
federal
law.
We
have
to
thank.
A
A
The
question
I
had
is
first,
is
how
do
you
gauge
when
a
manufacturer's
not
using
a
printer,
because
you
said
you
took
some
back
right.
I
just
wanna
printing.
H
A
Excellent,
thank
you
and
then
a
few
things.
I
do
like
the
balance
between
the
the
the
job
loss
and
job
creation.
That's
projected
right
because
we
all
know
even
the
big
three
I
come
from
the
industry
construction.
I
put
in
a
lot
of
the
lines
in
these
around
this
whole
michigan
right
for
the
took
out
lines,
putting
new
lines
in
and
everything's
getting
automated.
It's
been
getting
that
way
for
years.
A
Right,
not
that
I
agree
with
it
all
the
time,
because
I
don't
want
the
job
lost,
but
if
there's
job
creation,
you
know
it's
like
you
guys
are
emceeing
to
my
ears
right
now
right
as
well
as
you
bring
my
favorite
beverage
maker
here.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
was
by
design,
but
no
comment
right.
I
would
ask
if
we
could.
A
I'd
like
to
tour
one
of
the
companies
like
miss
markham
asked
you
know,
wanted
to
see
the
printing
yeah.
I
do
like
the
training
aspect
of
it
because
that's
very
important.
I
come
from
the
training
field.
I'm
a
union
guy
myself
right,
so
training
is
very
important.
I
do
like
that
instead
of
just
here,
you
go
figure
it
out,
and
the
one
thing
I
want
to
add
is
to
make
a
comment
on
when
you
asked
about
small
businesses.
If
you
would,
mr
commissioner
cavall
said,
would
you
invest
in
it
before
small
businesses?
A
It's
a
high
risk,
low
reward,
potentially
right,
so
sometimes
small
businesses
aren't
able
to
make
that
risk
right
which
and
then
go
with
the
small
businesses
being
union
a
lot
of
times.
Small
businesses
aren't
union
because
they're
small,
but
when
you
help
them
out
and
they
grow,
then
that's
when
you
get
the
opportunity
to
have
more
employees
more
potential,
like
you
said,
they're
more.
A
They
get
more
disconnected
not
not
by
design,
but
just
the
way
it
is
from
their
employees
than
they
were
when
there's
only
20
right
and
then,
when
you
have
300,
it's
a
whole
different
ball
game,
and
so
I
do
appreciate
that,
and
I
you
answered
all
my
other
questions
so
with
that
being
said,
we'll
call
on
commissioner
chairman
woodward
for
amendment
amendments.
J
Okay,
so
two
amendments,
so
the
first
amendment
is
going
to
address
the
appropriations
versus
assignment
issue,
so
I
mean
take
a
break
and
I
can
write
it
up,
but
I
think
it's
pretty
simple.
J
It's
like
in
the
first
now,
therefore
be
a
resolve
clause
to
strike
the
word
assigns
and
replace
it
with
appropriate
and
then
later
in
that
sentence
strike
the
words
future
appropriation
so
that
it
would
read
if,
if
this
amendment
passed,
that
the
oakland
county
board
of
commissioners
hereby
appropriates
15
million
dollars
in
arpa
funds
to
oakland
county
economic
development
for
the
proposed
project
diamond
phase
two.
So
that's
so
it's
been
yeah.
So
it's
that
and
then
also
strike
the
last,
be
it
for
the
resolve
clause
because
we
will
need
to
add
a
budget
amendment.
A
A
You
said
we
will
yeah,
we
will
need
it
support,
so
it's
a
move
by
fischer,
spitz
or
woodward
second
by
commissioner
spitz.
So
I
will
be
voting
yes
on
this.
I
agree
with
those
amendments
call
the
role
please
or
prompt
the
vote
on.
J
Okay,
so
one
more
I
mean
it's
broken,
because
I
think
it
was
easier
one
more
amendment
where
it
says
submitting
quarterly
expenditure
reports
to
add,
after
reports
to
the
oakland
county
board
of
commissioners,
economic
development
and
infrastructure
committee.
So
I
mean
it's
clearly:
it's
coming
here:
yeah.
A
J
Just
kidding
go
on
the
amendment
stuff
and
then
I
think
there
might
be
some
other
amendments
that
I
mean
get
brought.
I
mean
brought
up
in
finance
or
I
mean
talk
to
other
colleagues.
I
have
like
some
additional
questions,
but
I
did
have
one
question:
if
I
can
just
come
back
to
the
training
aspect,
what
is
the
training
support?
I
mean
speaking
out
the
training
support
provided
to
these
manufacturers
that
come
forward.
H
H
It
would
also
be
something
that
would
provide
you
with
more
about
like
the
possibilities.
What
can
be
done
with
additive
design
for
additive
manufacturing
things
like
that
design?
You
know
the
the
impact
of
design,
and,
in
addition
to
that,
we
also
expect
the
individual
vendors
of
these
machines
and
technology
to
provide
the
training,
and
then
the
third
component
is.
We
have
you
know
additional
software
applications
that
make
additive
much
more
productive.
H
So
we're
talking
there's
a
lot
of
conversation
about
you
know
what
does
this
mean
to
the
worker?
This
is
an
excellent
opportunity
to
empower
the
worker
the
front
line
worker.
They
would
not
get
this
opportunity
because
if
they
work
in
a
traditional
plant,
there
is
nothing
additive,
but
this
is
essentially
one
of
those
you
know
low
low-hanging,
fruit,
it's
an
enabler
to
get
front-line
workers
the
opportunity
to
get
simple,
simplified
training.
H
So
that's
the
other
piece
and
that
would
be
part
of
what
that
first
component,
it
so
it'd
be
a
comprehensive
piece
of
training
and
not
to
mention.
We
also
talk
about
having
peer
groups.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
know
you
were
part
of
these
lunch
and
learns
that
we
did
in
phase
one
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
meet
other
manufacturers
and
and
learn
from
from
each
other,
and
that's
more
informal.
A
A
A
A
K
I
appreciate
it.
Yes,
my
name
is
erin
cottell,
I'm
the
chief
environmental
sustainability
officer.
Thank
you
for
reviewing
this.
Today,
we
are
talking
about
a
potential
contract
to
engage
with
for
solar
and
a
little
bit
of
history.
K
We
have
a
choice,
purchasing
agreement
for
our
electricity,
which
means
that
we
go
essentially
out
to
the
market
to
review
and
purchase
our
electricity
and
as
well
as
natural
gas
for
the
oakland
county
campus
facilities
and
operations,
and
through
that
we
have
partnered
with
executive
energy,
and
they
have
provided
us
with
consulting
services
to
help
with
that
negotiating
process,
as
well
as
make
sure
that
our
oakland
county
has
the
best
market
rates
for
our
energy.
That
is
needed.
K
So
when
I
first
came
on
staff,
I
met
with
everyone
to
talk
about
energy,
and
one
of
the
things
I
had
mentioned
was
conversations
about
how
to
transition
to
a
cleaner
energy
source,
including
renewables,
and
one
of
the
things
that
our
great
consultant
was
able
to
provide
for
us
was
an
opportunity
to
have
75
percent
of
our
energy
dedicated
to
solar
coming
from
solar.
And
so
that
is
the
proposal
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
today,
a
quick
little
factoid.
K
If
we
were
to
approve
this
and
move
this
forward,
this
would
go
into
effect
in
2026
and
again
that
would
be
75
of
our
total
electricity
use
would
be
dedicated
to
solar,
and
that
would
account
for
a
reduction
of
40
percent
of
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and,
as
a
reminder,
our
goal.
Our
interim
goal
for
our
greenhouse
gas
reduction
emissions
by
would
be
50
by
2035,
and
so
we
would
have
the
remaining
10
percent
that
we
would
need
to
achieve
and
we
would
be
able
to
get
this
by
2026..
K
L
Sure
sure
thing
the
the
big
thing
here
is
not
over.
Are
we
going
to
do
what's
right,
we're
going
to
beat
the
utility
rate
on
rider
17
if
prices
remain
what
they
are
and
the
county
is
going
to
save
money?
So
it's
it's
a
good
thing.
So
I
will
answer:
ask
the
questions.
I
know
there's
going
to
be
a
ton
of
questions
here
so.
G
L
The
the
history
of
the
utility
over
the
19
years,
I
believe,
we're
at
2.8
percent
price
increase
with
the
utility.
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
seen
the
news
yesterday
we're
talking
about
another
8
percent,
so
I
mean
it's
only
going
to
go
up
this
locks
us
in
at
a
good
market.
That's
going
to
be
beat
the
the
tariff
rate.
L
L
This
is
the
sheets
showing
our
current.
We
have
a
contract
that
expires
in
2026.
It
was
a
two-year
contract.
So
that's
our
current
prices
right
now
that
we're
doing
with
the
company
that
contract
is
up
in
2026.
L
L
B
I
mean
I
mean
I
could
see
the
obvious
savings
in
there,
so
I
mean
if
we
give.
If
we
get
to
this
great,
we
sell
save
oakland
county
12
million
plus
over
the
next
10
years,
which
is
a
great
opportunity,
I'm
all
for
saving
money.
So
I
don't
know
how
anybody
would
be
could
say
no
to
this
based
on
saving
the
county
and
the
taxpayers,
this
kind
of
money.
I
mean
it's
amazing.
B
My
only
real
question
is
because
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
look
at
the
contracts
because
they
weren't
in
the
original
package,
but
target's
75
percent
in
those
contracts.
What
if
we
don't
hit
that
75
or
they're
unable
to
meet
that
75
threshold
that
we're
looking
at?
Is
there
a
clawback,
an
opt-out
or
some
other
opportunity
and
say:
okay
yeah,
you
didn't
hit
that
number,
we're
still
going
to
save
some
money,
but
now
we're
going
to
be
paying
more
on
the
other
side.
So
our
savings
goes
down.
K
That
is
a
very
good
question
and
I
think
I
just
want
to
clarify
a
little
bit,
so
the
solar
installation
that
is
going
into
play,
the
the
75
percent
is
75.
Of
that
total
array.
That's
going
in
will
be
dedicated
to
oakland
county,
which
and
and
also
means
that
75
percent
of
our
total
energy
electricity
use
specifically,
would
be
from
that
solar.
K
They
have
clauses
in
there
for
requirements
to
provide
that
energy
and
if
they,
if
something
were
to
happen
to
that
solar
energy
system,
for
example,
that
we
still
have
a
contract
that
they
do
to
provide
us
with
the
electricity.
So
there's
really
no
risk
in
having
the
available
load
for
us
to
compensate
for
that.
There
would
be
an
issue,
then,
of
whether
or
not
the
entire
portfolio
of
the
energy
would
be
coming
from
solar
yep.
If
that
makes
sense,
the.
I
K
Correct
it
is
a
fixed
rate
for
what
we
would
be
engaging
in
energy
prices
will
go
up
right,
so
we
will
have
to
comply.
The
energy
rates
will
go
up
with
this
new
contract,
but
overall,
the
county
would
be
still
saving
money
compared
to
the
market
rate
for
the
electricity.
K
That's
a
great
question,
so
this
would
really
help
us
in
advancing
our
greenhouse
gas
and
climate
goals
and
certainly
still
contribute
to
the
reduction
of
costs
that
we
have.
Overall
for
electricity.
We
still
have
25
percent
of
our
energy.
That
would
be
coming
from
the
larger
portfolio
from
what
you
would
say
for
the
grid,
so
components
of
natural
gas,
coal,
nuclear
and
additional
renewable
sources,
and
so
that
25
still
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
offset
some
of
that,
whether
that
be
on-site
solar,
whether
that
be
additional
programs
as
we
as
they
come
up.
K
In
addition
to
that,
it's
not
just
about
you,
know,
saying:
okay,
cool
we're
going
to
have
this
renewable
energy
source,
but
also
making
sure
we're
being
more
efficient.
And
that's
what
we're
seeing
in
a
lot
of
the
cip
planning
process
and
upgrades
that
we're
doing
in
our
facilities
to
make
sure
that
we're
actually
reducing
the
amount
of
energy
requirements
and
required
use
so
that
we
can
continue
to
have
those
efficiencies
as
well
as
implement
new
renewable
energy
sources.
So
it
would
still
be
considered
as
part
of
our
overall
energy
portfolio
and
reductions.
I
J
Commissioner
woodward,
thank
you
very
much.
I
mean
think
this
is
great.
I
mean
it
saves
money
and
then
puts
us
towards
our
I
mean
achieving
our
climate
action
goals
is,
is
a
winner,
I
think
there's
a
recognition
and-
and
I
had
an
opportunity-
I
mean
to
talk
to
the
team.
Yesterday's
because
there's
always
this
balance,
I
mean
I
mean
most
of
you
know
I've
thought
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
the
contract
comes
before
us,
especially
when
it's
a
new
contract
to
be
reviewed.
J
I
mean
that
authorizing
the
county
to
enter
into
this
agreement
and
to
put
in
some
of
the
parameters
that
are
are
listed
in
the
first
now,
therefore
be
a
resolve
clause
that
achieves
everything
that's
been
described
at
the
lower
rates,
get
the
I
mean
to
help
move
towards
the
higher.
I
mean
renewable
levels,
to
I
mean
achieve
our
our
climate
goals.
My
one
question
is
like
who-
and
we
said
they
authorized
the
county
to
enter
into
the
great
who
is
the
person
who's
actually
going
to
sign
it
like
is
that?
L
G
G
J
J
G
J
G
K
There
are
a
few
buildings
that
are
that
are
outliers
that
are
not,
and
that
is
more
of
the
mechanics
of
the
infrastructure
that's
available,
but
as
many
buildings
that
we
have
that
are
able
to
be
part
of
that
contract
are
part
of
that
contract.
So
it
is
comprehensive
for
the
county
and.
G
When
I
was
looking
through
those
contracts,
it
was
it
listed
everybody.
So
my
question
is
in
that
75
25
and
our
annual
usage
is
54
million
kilowatts
per
hour
or
whatever,
so
that
as
we
get
more
efficient
as
we
maybe
take
down
properties,
and
we
that
that's
going
to
be
in
the
25
right,
the
75
still
going
to
come-
or
I
mean
I
mean
it's
all
in
the
mix
but
sure
yes,
there's
still
room
for
all
of
that.
As
we
get
more
efficient
or
we
take
down
buildings,
we
use
a
lot
less
electricity.
B
B
A
A
Motion
carries
any
is
any
other
discussion.
The
question
I
have
is:
where
are
the
solar
fields
at.
L
There's
three
solar
arrays
that
are
going
to
be
built
in
the
state
of
michigan
on
the
west
side
of
the
state
is
all
that
we're
allowed
to
divulge
right
now.
Okay,.
A
A
A
Right,
all
right,
so
there's
no
other
further
agenda
items
we'll
come
to
our
next
public
comment:
anybody
from
the
public
looking
to
speak,
anyone
from
the
public,
seeing
none
we'll
call
the
second
public
comment
closed.
We
have
other
business,
any
other
business,
no
other
business.
We
will
call
the
meeting
adjourned
at
11
18.
