They now look like the surface of the moon and all biodiversity has disappeared. Um, now these are uh, school district and university areas. they're not under the city's um jurisdiction. Um but it's a reminder that thoughtless development continues in our city constantly. Um let's make sure this doesn't happen in areas covered by our our ordinances and um placing the um natural features master plan uh or in a uh an improved form into the comp plan. I think will serve that purpose. Thanks for considering my comments and for your uh public service on the commission. Thank you for your comments. All right, we have another caller ending in uh 306. Again, number ending in 306, you should be allowed to speak now. Please unmute by pressing star six. Hello. Can um just making sure that I I'm able to be heard. Yes, we can hear you.
No, these bullies need to get suspended. That's what needs to happen. These bullies are bullying them and they stop for a few days and then they start back up. What happened to no tolerance? Zero tolerance is not being done because these kids are still there still harassing them. Something needs to be done. And if we're going to be zero tolerant, then it needs to be zero tolerant. If not, then I'm going to tell my kids, "Eat the crap out of them." Because my 14-year-old had a kid come at him and punch him and another one came up from behind him and was punching him. He whipped him on the ground, was beating the crap out of him and he got four days suspension because that's not self-defense. One punch is self-defense. But when you got two kids on you and they're trying to fight you, I don't care.
So, there's a couple of tweaks to the interior, the the unit count and unit uh uh mix between two bedrooms staying as is well as the outdoor and exterior features such as the uh wounderf adjacent to Pond Street and the retail space on the corner. Those are elements that we find really exciting about it. Um wanted to to touch on that. So to facilitate this uh financing that we do anticipate increasing affordable component. So uh currently the special permit states that 25% of affordable 30 units at 80%. So we do anticipate increasing affordability uh financing option work. Um it would be when I say affordable uh I'm referencing an income ban between 30 and 60%. Uh in addition to that, we anticipate uh a workforce housing tier as well. So that's a tier between 80 and 120%. Um we have another slide that talks about what that means in terms of income limits and uh prospective residents that may qualify and occupations within those income tiers.
Full count offering in there for strike three for the first out of the inning. [Music] Joe Andrew. First offering to Joseph Smith is high. Pull one. The Smith was trying to bunt right there. [Music] outside ball two [Music] Heyrew. That one sw I missed strike one. [Music] That one is ripped out to right. Right field looks under it for the second out. brings up Bryce Barlo. And there's strike one. [Music] The 01 offering is outside. Ball one. Bryce Barlo in his last two at bats. Both of them for singles. Second one brought in a run. And that one's fouled off. One more. Come on. [Music] Outside ball two. The two fast ball popped up out of play. [Music] two two again. Barlo rips it out to the left. Left fielder gets it for the third out. Three outs in the inning. Still 13 to7 is the score.
Dasha Pel now at third base. Runners on the corners. Nobody out. [Music] Got time for the batter. Might be a potential steal. from the person at first. Grazo with running at third. Nobody out. Doesn't go here. This one's on the ground. It's short. Barlo picks it up. Throws a second for the first. Throwing on first and he is safe. RBI. Fielder's choice there for Carlin. as the Spartans are on the board. It's now 2-1 for Colin Maruka. He walked his first time up. Runner here. going. Catcher throwing down and not in time as Carlin steals second. [Music] First pitch of the at bat. Ball one. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Fast balls in the dirt. Can't get to find it. Runners going to third. Throw down. Not in time. [Applause] Carlin now takes third. [Applause] Runner on third. One down. Slider in the dirt. Ball three.
Um we'll go through those in a second. Those total $120,000. That leaves a remaining projected balance after that transfer request of 314,000. And then um we are thinking about a commitment towards the next year's budget of $150,000. Um there is a projected transfer to cover food service fund deficit of $80,000 uh which we talked earlier in this year that we were expecting that we'll probably be in a deficit just because of increased you know food costs um and labor costs as well. And so that would leave our revised projected balance um you know for the remainder of this year to give us any cushion of $84,755. Um so figure we'll start with the transfer requests first. Um and Beth feel free to correct me where I uh where I go astray here. So the first one is to request a transfer of 30 thou $33,745 from salaries and benefits to operation equipment and that's to finish the BCS shades replacement.
Min he requested this so I'm going to have him speak on it. Yes. Thank you madam president. So you know it uh I'm you know annual tradition of mine to uh you know bring bring the bring a memorial resolution in regards to Black April. uh you know this year uh I'll let the let the kids file out first, right? That's always the the [Music] Oh, come up front in front. Yes. Yes. Yes. The there's more space now. But anyway, uh I want Anyway, so you know, it's always been a a tradition of mine to bring forward a Black April memorial resolution. Uh you know, since we've been able to return in person to, you know, uh board meetings in 2022. Uh and this uh resolution uh marks the 50th anniversary of Black April, the fall of Saigon. I just wanted to uh say that uh it marks an important moment in time.
Okay. So, from Catella High School, we have Evelyn Aguilar Ramos. Big round of applause for Evelyn Aguilar Ramos. Right. And if they're not here, we'll get this to their administrative team. I know there's members from the team here and they could acknowledge it back at the site. From Hope, we have Jasine Carrasco from CVA. Iana Garcia from Kennedy. We have Joanna [Applause] Kim. Hold on. Wait. I think this might be a mixup here. So, okay. So we have from Savannah, Kaina Fong. Okay. from Western. Muhammad Kowalde from Anaheim. We have Maya [Applause] Isabel from Magnolia. Ailen Ramirez Ruiz from Laura Jose Sana Sanchez and we have from Cyprus we have Erin Beckin and from Gilbert we have Belmari Gilbert not here. And then I might have that might have been a mistake too. From from Cypress we have Jackson Houston. Jackson's not here. Okay. So once again a big round of applause.
Okay. Um yes, so I am in agreement with the other comments that have um already spoken in favor of the resolution in favor of um preserving the natural features. Um I I live on Georgetown Boulevard which is right near the Thirstston Nature Center and um what has happened in our neighborhood with respect to how our elected officials have basically disregarded the the history of the flooding does make me certainly um very hesitant with moving forward with how the comprehensive plan is written without any sort of protection for natural features. Um so I would like to add is is please do prioritize natural features and green spaces in the comprehensive city plan. Please adopt the proposed resolution by the biodiversity um subcommittee. Um please do keep in mind that the preservation of green spaces in urban environments is important and healthy um both physically and psychologically.
That's me beating the crap out is self-defense. So, first of all, I I I understand that you've got a lot to unpack there and I know that this is emotional. I I understand that um we we do have a time limit and you've gone over and that's great. I I appreciate the feedback. So, first of all, um I am sorry that you don't feel like that the school has addressed your concerns or your your child's concerns. Um a couple of things. First of all, um you know, corporation does have established policies, procedures um for all of the personnel investigation. Um so when you when you talk about individuals, especially employees of the school corporation, um please know that we are following all of our appropriate policies um we are making sure that um all investigations are completed. Anything that requires timely investigation, we want to make sure that we are receiving all relevant information.
Uh so we'll get to that. Um that's next we have timeline. I'll I'll come back to timeline. So the uh we have a slide on you know who will live at 501 Pond Street. So going back to those income tiers, we gave an example for the affordable tier between 30 and 60% AMI. Uh so using a one-bedroom as an example, this is somebody who is earning between 37 and $74,000. So to give an example of some occupations, it's a you know a new police officer uh or you know a new teacher town um as an example. The workforce housing tier 80 and 120% AMI uh using a twobedroom as an example that's a range of income between 119,000 78 uh between two uh I think it's a three person limit for for so it's a combining and an example of a few occupations there is you know a firefighter uh registered nurse or a financial analyst so uh project timeline just to uh refresh you on the some of the milestones to date.
Now up to bat in the bottom of the fifth. Maxwell Carlin takes ball one. Way to control it. [Music] [Applause] Cross still on the mound. Strike one on the inside corner. [Applause] any of this driver. Let's go. [Applause] Owens low. Ball two. That's a good eye right there. [Music] [Applause] Popped up in the air right in front of the pitcher's mound and the pitcher makes a catch for the first out. Now to bat Colin Baruka. He had an RBI triple his last time up. [Music] [Applause] That one's outside. Ball one. Way to leave it. Ball high too. [Applause] And in there. Strike one. [Applause] Owens fouled. Foul. Andrew Grazo is really steady down since his uh first inning. Let's go. That one is strung on a miss. Strike three. Now two down in the inning. [Music] Brings up Sean Croll. He grounded out his last time up, but runner came in to score.
[Music] [Applause] Curve ball. This one's on the ground of pitcher. Pitcher trying to go home. He can't find it and he cannot get it down in time. The Spartans scored their second run and tie the game at two. [Applause] And we're gonna have a pitcher mount meeting for the pitcher. Count. [Music] And we're back for the pitchers meeting there. Sean Croll the batter. Now it's in the dirt again. Runners going. Throwing on over to second. Not in time. Lot of base stealing here from the Spartans seem to pay off. And he pitching the dirt and they're going [Music] throwing and it's low ball two. [Music] Two slider again in the dirt. Ball three. Pitcher struggling to find the strike zone. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] three 0 and over his head for ball four time though. Now off the bat, Jacob Mar. He grounded out to second.
Um so we the the blinds of BCS are from the 1990s. Many of them are broken and do not work. I've also heard that there's um some glare issues as well for for the rooms that have not had the blinds replaced. Um and back in 2021 they were deemed by the capital committee not to qualify as part of the capital budget. Um so in 2022 we we moved forward and replaced a portion of the blinds at BCS with the operating funds. So at this point some of the blinds have been replaced leaving you know some the rest of the building um needing to be replaced. So at this point uh the request is to look to complete this project. Um the amount would be again $33,745. Um and I you know have heard that it is a a pretty competitive um rate because of the time um at which they'd be able to to do it.
Uh you know a historical event that uh uh what is it in in many ways changed the shape of this community uh uh the end of the Vietnam War um brought uh many many refugees uh of which I am a child of uh one. uh to this country uh after uh an unsuccessful fight for freedom. And I I want to use uh Ronald Reagan's quote about, you know, the Vietnam War being a noble cause. It was a war fought, you know, in an attempt to preserve uh liberty and democracy in South Vietnam. Uh so it is in the spirit of of that that you know first of all I want to uh you know honor the sacrifices of those who fought on the side of uh the Republic of Vietnam, South Vietnam uh you know Americans who also made the ultimate sacrifice you know and you know and also of course among those Americans Alam Rockers who who who uh stepped up and served and you know if I may say uh Mr.
We appreciate you guys. Okay. Thank you. Okay. You guys can definitely take uh take take a picture, right? got a picture. Okay, perfect. And some of them are going to come up a little bit later in the agenda as well and provide a testimony. So, we're looking forward to that as well. Okay. All right. It is now my pleasure to introduce our uh superintendent who is now in his 11th year as our superintendent and is nationally recognized for um his 21st century uh as recognized as a 21st century educational leader and for all of his work in the area of innovation, entrepreneurship and compassion. So here is Mr. Michael Matsuda. Thanks Robert. Let's give it up for uh Robert Salibar. Thank you. Wow. So, thank you to everybody uh for being here. I had the pleasure of having uh dinner with a parent, a grandparent uh Mary Via Viamore.
Um trees do absorb heat and mitigate flood flooding and storm water and erosion. Um all important and when we're considering climate change. Um when you do look at cities of the future, there's a lot or they're they're trying to bring in these green spaces to to work as absorbing heat pockets. Um green spaces and should be considered a waste disease. Um, they make a city more attractive, more appealing, and they provide places for outdoor recreation and overall greater psychological well-being for its citizens. Um, overall, I I guess I would like to see the comprehensive P plan being driven more by um the citizens and communities of Ann Arbor and less so by the actual developers. Um, and I would like to see that elected officials and staff um, have a requirement that a percentage of all these civil engineering projects do go into beautifification um, gardens, public art, hiking, walking trails so that we don't wind up with just a hodgepodge of ugly buildings and concrete and asphalt and no green space.
So I think that's important. We talk about personnel issues. Um, but I want you to know um that on our end we are Nikki her team um they we are following those appropriate um processes and procedures. I want I want to be clear about that. Um the second thing I again appreciate you bringing up um your concerns. Um we as a a board as a school corporation we are committed um to making that we provide safe and supportive learning environment. And when you talk about it, it taking a village or it taking a team, it really does. It takes everyone. Um, so I I think last week we had an individual, I believe her name was Marca, um, she also spoke at the board meeting um, about bullying on this topic as well. Um, we did go over them and since then have sent out some information for parents and for students so they know how to report any events.
