Thank you for showing me how to learn, study, and pass classes. I know it wasn't always easy. I also want to thank all the teachers and especially Matt Stewart for believing me when I didn't. Without the extra encouragement and accountability, I don't know that I would be graduating today. A huge thanks to everyone who never stopped believing in me and cheering me on along the way. Lynn Becker. In my time at Village, I have come out of my shell and I have gone from a shy freshman to a confident senior. Every person at Village has helped me on my journey through school, both educationally and emotionally. The connections I have made here are the ones I will continue to have throughout my life. I am planning to study animation and physics in California. Sarah Bennett, thank you to my family for supporting me unconditionally in everything I do.
Uh I am also someone who would call myself a regular person and a real neighbor. I have never spoken before the planning commission. I've never spoken in any city of Ann Arbor meeting before tonight. Um I have no connections to any developers, any elected officials in this community. I would call myself the least plugged in person in this room and I have been aware of this plan for a long time. I've been following this plan for a long time and I'd urge the commission to continue moving this plan forward because it's very important for our community. Thank you. Thank you. Hi. Hello. My name is Christine Comr. I live at 1502 Dexter Avenue and I am a person who will be directly affected by a transition district. And my greatest concern is based on my previous experiences with uh the city ordinances is whether or not ordinances will be will cover businesses and all of these uh retail uh coffee shops, bars, whatever that come into the transition districts affecting our light pollution and our sound pollution, noise pollution.
You you can't take advantage of that and put it to another round. That goes to your large number obligation of unmet need. The third round unmet need. One of the ways that or the way that we're proposing to uh address it is through a redevelopment plan of Higgins Avenue. This is about a half mile u from Route 35 to Ashley Avenue. It encompasses approximately 30 parcels, 14 acres in size. Um it does include the High Tide Builder Remedy site. Uh we can't necessarily ignore that site. Uh so what we have done is we have included that in this future redevelopment plan of an entire corridor and the planning board has been talking about looking comprehensively at planning instead of sightby-sight type of of mechanisms and looked at um you know supporting the master plan which which basically says that this particular area is really meant to be a main street theme.
Janice is kind, safe, and responsible in every way and an overall great student, friend, and human. She enters the classroom each day with kindness, a positive attitude, a smile on her face. She's always eager to learn new things and not afraid to ask questions to help gain a better understanding. She puts bold effort into everything she does. She shows compassion, honesty, and trustworthiness to her peers and staff. Janice is always willing to help her classmates, is an active participant in class, and demonstrates beautiful leadership qualities. She represents what it means to be a role model. It has truly been a joy to have Janice in class. I've loved getting to learn with you this school year. Keep shining bright and keep up the great work. I'm so proud of you, Mrs. Salberry. I am Finn is a true cold. He is kind, safe, and responsible in many ways.
Three minutes. I would like to preface this by stating that despite what the district has claimed through their attorney, there are currently open investigations with Queen Creek and Gilbert police into the school staff and into Gilbert SSO for their failure to make a mandatory report. I won't say how I'm connected to this because I need to protect the students involved, but I know exactly what happened and every single parent needs to pay attention. On March 27th, 2025, a student at Higgley School District campus was accused through an anonymous report of raping another student. That alone should have triggered immediate action and a call to local law enforcement. By law, school staff are mandatory reporters. Their duty is crystal clear. Report it to law enforcement. Do not investigate. Do not interrogate. Do not decide guilt or innocence. But that's not what happened. Instead, two school officials with the knowledge of the principal and the SSO pulled the alleged victim into the office and questioned them alone.
This is our our board meeting calendar. Yeah. And then we can still look at opportunities, go back and revisit if we want to short cycle or meetings and have one meeting a month in the summer or something like that. Okay. I still I'm still I know there's things that we have to look at all the time and try to catch her and this old man is getting old. Okay. Absolutely. And I just meant it for this year since we had already like that's that's effort. Yeah. We can like always revisit it after but sorry I didn't mean it to be like could we I assigned Alex to lead that committee. Got it. That's the one that we done. All right. Okay. So the Wayne change right that we're going to do clarification from a Wednesday to a Tuesday on the calendar. It was just a title.
I've I've taken the um the u Felicia Jordan approach to this in advance. This I I really read it and made some changes on my own. So you're not alone. Apart Cindy. Cindy's giving some great comments, too. So let's just go with a Well, we'll start off with the opening statement. Continuously invest in the development of skilled staff through hiring, retention, and development in order to promote continuous growth. I please so it has the word development twice. Yeah. Uh also the second use of development retention and development I I don't know what is being developed there and maybe it means professional development I'm not sure but having development in there two times I think I agree. So I I took a whack in this go first. No you go first. I took I I said continuously invest in attracting, retaining, and developing a highly skilled workforce to foster long-term organizational excellence and sustain growth.

I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the patience and support they give me every day. I also want to thank my teacher Thaddius for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself and encouraging me to pursue a career in American Sign Language. Jack Bodwell. I'd like to thank my parents for being my ride to and from school for the past years. I would also like to thank Kevin and Mr. Norris for bearing with me for all these four years I've been here. Although I won't be continuing school right away after graduation, I plan to further develop my programming skills. Nice job, Glenn Brock. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Dad. Thank you, TAC, for always pushing me. Thank you for the constant texts, emails, and calls bothering me to do my homework. Thank you to everybody that helped me in any way.
I currently live in a place that is like living across the street from a truck stop all night long. And my huge concern is that not only will I be affected by that, but entire swaths of the city will be. So, I really encourage that the plan be paused and that more information, more specifics concerning transition districts would be planned out. Thank you. Thank you. Hello, my name is Charles Re Chuck Re. I've been before you before. I didn't think anything could call me out of political retirement, but the attempt to wreck our city has certainly done that. I was a total supporter of the mayor and the current council until I read this plan which I realized very quickly was an absolute sellout to big developers and had nothing to do with supplying mid housing. We can succeed. We can we can succeed in supplying this mid inome housing with all the things that are on here, but not fourthstory and residential, not five, six, seven along my street where I live and a lot of people's other streets.
So, in supporting that, a redevelopment plan, uh, there's two pieces to it. We look at, we do what's known as an area need of redevelopment study, and that will be done in the next couple of months, and that determines what parcels within the corridor meet that criteria um to be deemed an area needed of redevelopment. Um, and then a redevelopment plan will be put together and and that is essentially a zoning ordinance. We are looking at permitting mixed use as well as multif family as well as town houses um in the Higgins Avenue corridor and probably densities that would range between 12 and 15 units an acre which is similar to the density as I me mentioned to the at the uh M andD site. Next slide please. And finally the fourth round unmet need. So the Higgins Avenue redevelopment goes to third round unmet need.
For example, he always listens to instructions and others. He's very helpful in class and at times just sees that something needs to be done and he does it. He's kind and respectful and works very hard. Congratulations, Finn. This is from the sixth grade team in middle school and that's a great honor to they gathered together to meet and so congratulations to you. Mattaline Anderson was selected as cult of the month because she is kind to her peers and teachers and follow school rules and expectations. She's responsible and does quality work on time due to her work ethic, kindness, and responsible character. We proudly select Meline as Colt of the Month. Congratulations. This is from the middle school team of Brody has grown so much this year as an eighth grader. He is kind and helpful student with his peers and teachers. Brody has stepped out of his shell and participated in the civics group this year by doing morning announcements and helping raise the American flag.
They asked this child, for all they knew, to relive potential trauma without prior notification to their parents, without caregiver support, without even documenting the conversation. They treated a felony rape allegation like a minor rule infraction and then sent that child back to class like nothing had happened. No safety plan, no call to appropriate police, no trauma-informed care, nothing. Left to process the shock and confusion of such a heinous inquiry in the middle of her school day, the student turned to their friends. Within the hour, students were buzzing with whispers about the details of a rape allegation interview. This wildfire of rumors ignited by the school's reckless handling spread with no way to control it and no end in sight. Then came the unthinkable. The district blamed the alleged victim for sharing what was so casually asked of her in that interview. Not the staff who violated their duty of care.
It's a typo. Okay. That was it. All right. So we will be looking to have that next week to vote on. Okay. All right. Doc business doing this. Mr. Johnson, Ryan or Jason? It's just a line item to discuss adding the public hearing for the revised budget for June 10th, which will be set to vote on next week. We sold bonds. We have to amend the budget. Is the amended budget going to be a balanced budget? Yes. Okay. So, that's what's going to be captured in our audit, right? As far as, you know, coinciding and it's going to be reflective on our audit for our June 30th. This is a revision of the current year's budget. Okay. Which we submitted in September. We have to revise it because we sold bonds. It's just procedural to submit to the state, right? Okay. But everything is everything else is pretty good, right?
Yeah, I tried that. I like it. All right. Does that fit? So, can you I gave it to her already. I got it. I just want to say that that recommendation is we're now changing a board, right? So that's fine because we're creating a new strategic plan. So that's absolutely fine to change the goal. So we'll train, but we'll work with administrators to know that that goal will be different than it was just written different. It sounds like it's saying the same thing. It's a little bit it's enhanced. It says in continuency invest in attracting, retaining, and developing a highly skilled workforce to foster long-term organizational excellence and sustain growth. The only word that's throwing me off is organizational. That's fine. And organizational to me speaks more to like a corporate organization. I I don't know. That's my opinion. Maybe like district excellence or long-term district excellence.
