One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. >> Madam clerk, can you please call the role? Cus >> here. Nia >> here. Ross >> here. M >> here. We have a quorum. All right, moving on. We have approval of the agenda. >> I will make a motion to approve the agenda as presented. >> Support. >> Motion by Ross, seconded by Nikasia. All in favor? >> I. All right. Motion passes. Uh public hearings. We have none. So, we'll move on to number six. Call to the public. Um, if this is an opportunity for any member of the public to approach the podium and state their address and any comments or concerns they have. Seeing
002none, we'll move on to consent agenda. Agenda, we have a motion for a >> I'll make a motion to receive and file items 7 A1 and two, correspondence and department reports. >> Support Motion made by Ross, seconded by Nicaria. All in favor? >> I nays. Motion passes. 7B. >> Motion to approve consent agenda item 7B. Um 1, two, and three. Actually, um one and three, approval of minutes. May 12th regular meeting. Uh >> there's a question on the two >> bills I guess uh in the amount of $215,415.95 and three monthly budget report treasures report and budget amendments. >> Do we have any questions about that? We just haven't seen the bills. >> They're not in there. >> No. >> Why is that? Well, then then the the the item of B2 should be removed
003from the consent agenda down to 10 and we can discuss it when we get there. Okay. >> Would you like to amend Can you amend this motion? >> Yeah. Can I amend my motion to um >> 7B1 and three only? >> 7 B1 and three only. And then do I have to make a separate motion for >> and remove 7B2 to 10 for discussion? >> Second. >> Motion by Nicasia, seconded by Ross. No roll call vote then. Right. >> Do a roll call anyways. >> Yes. >> Ross, >> yes. Mark, >> yes. All right. Moving on to [clears throat] uh item eight a old finished b business street projects east street at cottage court. Joe >> uh yes um I have nothing to report that's new from A and or B under unfinished old business.
004Uh you know it asphalt plants are open. We're hoping that they can fit it into their schedule for the repair soon and still trying to track down some attorneys to help us work on some language for B for the village admin building. >> Well, what we're doing on that, we're trying to find a group who's done condominions already in your community and see if we can pattern after that without inventing the wheel. And you have three. So, we've identified them and we're hoping to hear from them. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. Moving on to 9A, new or nine, new business. Item A, bid consideration for East Street, uh, Maine and Pontiac. >> 8B. >> I I he lumped that in with a >> Okay. Yeah. >> Okay. >> That was related to the admin
005building. So, so in your packet I hander 9A. I have a memo that's for 9 A and B because they kind of go together. Um I didn't notice was here tonight. Oh, there he is. Okay. Um Oh, we have our folks here from Jason Vanderberg. So, uh in the last two or three years we've or four, we've done some street projects. We've had some hiccups. We've had some problems to deal with and we're we're looking to change up a little bit and um police and Vanderbreak have stepped up and helped us on the Park Street thing a year or two ago to give us a second opinion that helped us bring that in uh for the corrections and the alignment with that. They didn't perform the work, but they and it was Rudy's idea. He
006said, "Let's get a second opinion on that after the road was built." And um this gentleman from Fleece and Vanderbreak helped us give us the background and some uh work to guide us to send it down the right path to get it finished properly. And so we've been kind of reaching out to them in the last year or so about some other items coming as we've mentioned and we discussed at our budget workshops East Street water main and uh as a next water man project from Mil Street East over to Glasby that we're looking at for 2027. So that would include the topological survey, the topo survey, uh, in order to get all the elevations and everything correct for the design phase. And then there's also a couple areas on Pontiac Street that had some
007flooding over the years. One right by Dennis and one further down by U Oes Elementary School there. And first off, we'd like to pivot and and go with Glee and Vanderbreak to perform the topo survey and potentially design an engineering coming down the road later um for that B Street project and then um >> is that GIS like mapping services? >> No, it's just more the CAD files be created through design process and yes, eventually those could be part of the GIS program they were just now implementing. Right. We've just um got our stuff to uh our EZRI account is in the process of being set up. We've just already just got some of the equipment stuff. We've ordered the tablet for the uh DPW staff to use to start going out and putting GIS
008data into a system that um will be uh implemented and then online. But this is more of just your standard surveyors going out doing topo survey to aid in the design. And now we're looking to do the design all the way out to the section that's uh east street from 24 over to lout as well because that is a small section of water main that does have to be uh replaced as well. That's not in the plan to do construction phase next year. While they were on site doing the phase from Mill Street east to Glasby, they could do the topo on the East Street from Mill from 24 to L right there like behind the magic brownie. That stretch right there because in the middle there that is all done new. Whereas you come
009up Mil Street and you hang a left and you go up is it l up to the stamping plant that is was part of the new mains that were done 25 years ago. So there's a eastern end that's around 1,000 square feet up East Street and then the shorter end on East Street from 24 over to Lok that have yet to be um upgraded in water manes. So I think it' be best to go out and do the topo on both areas while they're on site and they mobilize on site. And um we'd like them also due to a couple drainage areas that we're having problems with on Pontiac Street for some solutions on Pontiac Street that are flooding right look said near the Dennis intersection as well as down by OES. So the bid
010from Fleece and Vanderbreak in front of us is for them to perform those uh topographical surveys and creation of the base drawings to utilize the following design phase. So I call it Pontiac Street A and Pontiac Street B. And then East Street between Mill and Glasby then includes Cottage Court as well. Um about 400 ft on Cottage Court. So procedurally, Joe, do you want us to deal with a first? >> Well, it's all wrapped up into one quote. >> I saw that. Yeah, but we have it listed as two separate agenda items. Well, that's that's that's for design and engineering, >> right? >> That'll be a separate quote. >> Okay. So, that's that's going to be separate. Okay. >> Yeah. So, the one in front of us that I'd like consideration under 9A is FNV's
011quote for the topo survey for Pontiac Street A, Pontiac Street B. >> Okay. >> And then East Street. Now, I have Mel and Northwest. Okay. It doesn't have the East Street short section on there, so I might have missed Yeah, I was going to say I don't think there's a picture for the east co east street and cottage court. >> That part there is. It's it's the east street between 24 to l is not on there. >> We have because 1,50 is the the area from middle street east to glassby that would be the construction phase of next year and then it's a couple hundred feet maybe on east street maybe 300 feet. >> Uh no from 24 to that little short section. >> So that's not actually in this proposal. Um, so we were
012going to maybe blump in with Davidson Street. I think maybe with our thoughts on that in a future project. So just to clarify, it's not both sections of East Street that the Toppo was covering. It's covering the project area from Mil Street over to Glasby, which is about 1,50 square uh linear feet, which is about the same size project we've done with Moyer and Park. So we don't want to bite off too big of a chunk. So that's it fits good on our appetite for the project when it comes time for the water man replacement. In addition to that, it includes Cottage Court because it doesn't make any sense to go down there and skip over Cottage Court. And then on Pontiac, those are the small drainage areas um that while they're here setting up
013doing on that, it's just a better bang for a buck to get it all done at the same time. So those are broken out and the Pontiac street again u the cost being Pontiac street A down by OES is 2100 Pontiac street B which is Dennis up to uh West Berdick I think it's going all the way right Rudy from Dennison all the way up for some topo design and some storm drain work and then East Street and Cottage Court are the uh construction zone area and that's 7,000 for a subtotal total of 12,500 uh for the topo survey and that'll help us when it comes time to doing the engineering for the water main project. I'll make a motion to approve the village manager to enter into agreement with splice in Bandon break not
014to exceed 12,500 [snorts] >> for the drainage total survey work. >> Yes. >> Right. support. Motion by Ross. [clears throat] Supported by Chemi. >> Kemp, >> yes. Ross, >> yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> All right. Kind of flowed naturally into B, but that was a separate, >> right? So, B has a separate item. Um, and so I have the pictures there under 9A that talks about those areas. If you look at the one, the first one from Dennis Street up to West Berdick, not quite all the way to Berdick. It stops a little short because there's a manhole there. And then the second area below that is the OES area that we're going to discuss now um as far as their drainage issues on Pontiac. So you can kind of see on those uh
015aerial shots, right? So down, if you look at the one from OES parking lot at around 100 Pontiac Street, there's some pin markings on that uh picture that show existing catch basins and stuff that have been there years ago to try to deal with the the low area there, but they get overwhelmed during large rain events. Um, and so what we're hoping to do and and we've had some agreement from the schools is to tie an overflow pipe, the blue line shown on that aerial to go over and into the parking lot at OES parking lot. So in the in the event where we have large rain events, uh, our structures will fill up and hold a lot of water, but then they'll have right now instead of just backing up into the street and
016flooding and going into the east side of the road into this neighbor's uh, front yard all the way up to their home and getting into their basement. >> I'm sure they love that. We are proposing a overflow pipe to go and tie into we believe it'll be that uh um catch basin right there that's shown behind underneath that car. You can see the square that's the concrete area around the catch basin as an overflow. The DPW could speak to it. They come out few times a year. Lincoln Street one as we've already had design done on this area here both of these areas on Dennis. They come out sometimes middle of the night weekends whatever and have to pump the water out. And in the past they've in this area they have pumped it into
017hoses over to that parking lot and it it goes into those catch basins and it flows away. But they're out here with pumps and pumping water off the road to uh make it passible and to keep it from getting into the home even more so. So this is a smaller uh fix. You can see the blue line really represents what we believe will be the scope of work underground and tying into that pipe. It's yet to be determined elevations and where we come into the side of that. That's what this topo survey will help with and we hope to have that out to bid and back to us by July to get that done in this summer's time frame. >> No way. I don't believe so. >> Challenges. It's a small It's a small project.
018>> It hasn't happened for the past few years. >> This is a very small project. >> Yeah. when I see school. [laughter] >> Now, >> if you flip if you if you flip on the previous page, flip on the page before that the aerial of of Pontiac and then the north end towards Berdick that is much more extensive that we aren't thinking can be done this summer because the time to get it designed and out to bid and be done by Labor Day or whatever the school goes back in end of August, there just isn't a big enough window. So we'll be popular again with the the school crowd. >> Well, yeah. We don't want to we don't want to get in the way of the reopening of school, right? So, but the one on
019the south end by the OES parking lot, 100 Pontiac Street, is a small project. >> We were hoping to loop that in, right, with Lincoln Street, which is already have an RFQ out right now to have that back to us for consideration in July's meeting. We're hoping that the design can be done, and this is such a small I mean, it's maybe 100 foot of pipe. back to us in and done in July and August well in time for school to not be affected. So those aerials, so behind those areas, you'll see a memo I have for 9B regarding Pontiac Creek area A drainage improvements. Um, >> so this is just for the topographic survey. We don't know cost or anything else. >> The topographical survey we have, we just approved. >> This is a
020proposal you see in here to do the design work. >> Well, we don't know how much that line's going to cost. >> Yeah, >> correct. for construction. We don't >> you're you're approving design and engineering that will form the bid process. >> Yes. So, what we're hoping is that it's a relatively straightforward short small scope of work that we can get some design back relatively quick and get a few local contractors bid on it and have it back by July's meeting. It has to be facto by July >> and then they would have five weeks before school starts to complete the project. >> Six weeks maybe. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> She doesn't believe me. >> I don't I don't >> You're going to hate us. >> Well, again, if if we can't get it done
021>> reading your face. [laughter] >> If we can't get it done in there, if we're not comfortable, if something comes up or there's a issue with the design and it's to be more extensive than we want, then that then we we aren't going to be able to. We would have to punt. But we believe walking into it that it's relatively small. It's relatively relatively straightforward to go from our existing structures over into the structures that are there. >> Just makes sense to do B with A because they're already going to be out there doing the TO >> survey work is going to be done. The topo is going to be done, right? >> Do it anyway. >> Yeah. >> It's got to be done at some point. >> The topo we've decided and we just
022approved to do the topo for all these areas, right? And that'll enable the design work to come later. This is to get the design work on a small section. We hopefully can lump it in with Lincoln Street. Now, if we put it together with Lincoln Street, Lincoln Street isn't as imperative. If it bleeds over into September, it's not that big of a deal because there's a lot of ways around Lincoln Street. Um, we're not on Mechanic by DA. We're on Lincoln Street going eastward. So, if we did them together, our emphasis would be Pontiac Street by the school to get that, make sure that's cleared by the school time frame. And then uh there's 300 or 263 feet of drainage on Lincoln. >> I mean, >> and then the rest of the work would be
023for next summer. >> Yeah. The one the larger portion from Dennis up to almost Berdick there would be for next summer. Okay. >> It's just too much work to try to squeeze into that >> since we have it kind of all prepped and public ready. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah, we can get ahead of it. And these are really that came um I've I've been playing phone tag and email tag with a couple residents over at Dennis and Pontiac for a couple months now. and they're they're want to come see me now. They say they can't come see me till a couple more weeks. Um I want to explain to them what our plan is to try to alleviate the flooding at Dennis in the Pontiac area. So again, this is a small scope.
024If there's something goes south, we just we do not want to get in. So that road has any issues that tore up at all for opening school day opening. >> Okay. I'll make a motion to move forward with a bid consideration for the fun drainage improvement area for design and engineering not to exceed $6,800 motion by Ross uh [clears throat] excuse me support by n vote please >> yes to see Yes. >> Motion. >> Thank you. And and Rudy and I know it's a challenge and um are we have a couple representatives from Lis and Vanderbreak. Would you like to say anything? Um and introduce yourselves at least. >> Of course. >> Council the podium or just uh >> podium would be fine. Yeah. Yes. Take a minute to go up to the podium at
025least kind of >> Sure. >> introduce yourselves. >> Appreciate Not really, but I think that one's broke. >> Everybody's always has a green button. >> Yeah, that one's fake. >> Okay, go ahead. >> Thanks for having us tonight. I appreciate the support on these projects. My name is David Glind. I'm the regional manager of Farmington Hills office. Um, first Dan here, who is our principal project manager out of the office and great colleague of mine. >> Oh, we appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this. I I know we've looked at that a couple of times and I I hear the expedited uh uh schedule maybe uh question, but we're going to do everything we can to we we hope it's a very simple pro uh project once we get the tow post. So,
026um greatly appreciate the opportunity. Any questions from council for that? >> She doesn't believe you. >> I mean, if you came in and fixed the last two problems, I just I feel bad for the kids and the parents who for the past two years were at DA taking their kids to DA and now they're going to OES. I'm surprised. Here's the same thing again. So, >> well, those were three month projects. So, >> I think they I think they hear your concern. >> We'll put our full force on. appreciate that as quickly as we can. >> Thank you for coming. >> And again, if if if something comes out of the the investigations on which structure is going to be the best to go to, there's a another structure further away complicates things. It puts
027us in a way that it's just we're not comfortable with it. We'll pause. >> Okay. >> Thank you. All right. Moving on to item C. America and Bloom signed DDA. >> Uh do I have that in there? Okay. Okay, there's a letter in there from our DDA director. Um, basically we're looking to uh Did you bring the sign? She thinks she has a sign. Well, there you go. Let me have her explain then. >> All right. So, yes, this is we have recently joined this is a little bit more fun, lighthearted and some construction. [laughter] Um, we recently joined the America in Bloom organization. And what they do is a lot of different things, but the main one is um they come to our community. They do an audit assessment of our natural spaces, our
028culture, arts and culture and event. And so they'll be joining us on July 16th, I believe it is, and to come to downtown and take a look throughout the district at Luckily, we have a lot of activities going on that day. So, it's going to be really cool. Um but one of the things as part of this visit is for us to highlight the fact that we are members of this organization. So this um we are asking for permission to work with the village on a a great location to place this to have it up temporarily while they are here to visit. >> It's a lot better than drainage. >> They get to do the fun things. I'll make a motion to allow the DDA to put up an American Bloom sign with help from
029the village manager on placement. >> Support. >> Motion by Kemp, supported by Nicaria. All in favor, please say I. >> I. Nay. >> Motion passes. Right. Moving on to D. special event uh application the 2609 Zumba in the Park suicide awareness fundraiser. >> So you'll see the application in there from uh Gail who lives right near one of our um staff members over there in the subdivision just outside of town. Um she just brought this to us uh I think it was last week and like okay well we're going to try to push it through. It's a really easy straightforward thing doing Zumba in the park at Centennial Park. um I think from 9:00 to 12:00 on June 14th, this coming Saturday. >> Saturday. >> Um we did have uh something previously planned from like
03011:30 to 3, but that event has been postponed. They had a second date they were looking on. Um Jay from >> his organization had something like from noon till 3, but they had a second date. They're just going to focus on the second date. So they're not going to be even coming up to each other. But again, um they did sign and ask for the required deposit and a liability for u insurance waiver because it's uh this Annagloo and Gail Bailey. Um but they just want to come and do it and raise some money for suicide prevention, an organization called AFSP organization. Pretty simple setup and tear down just in in like a three-hour time frame. I'll make a motion to approve the special event application 269 Centennial Park Suicide Awareness >> including the waiver.
031>> Second. Motion by Max supported by Ross. All in favor, please say I. >> I. Any nays? Hearing? None. Motion passes. Right. Item 9E, brew. brew pub license uh request from one prop delivery. >> Okay. And I know the applicants and stuff are here. They can um they they came to the planning commission to expand their special land use from their initial special land use that was granted in 2020 I believe um when things were different then they had a different approach as a as a tasting room only. Now they they got great big plans and they're going to do a great job down there expanding as more of a regular um ery and um bar type situation. Uh they got approval to expand and amend their special land use from the planning commission already.
032Um I'm not sure. Regina, were you at that? >> Unfortunately, >> you were not. Okay. It was well attended meeting. We had stuff on that night as well. Um so they've done their due diligence, done a good job. And so but they do need our final approval to get the additional brew pub license. So that's what's in front of us today is their request for our permission or your permission to authorize that new brew pub license at the same location that they were operating. I will make a motion to approve the new brew cup license as presented. >> Support motion by Ross by Nasia. Do we need a roll call vote for this? >> I think so. >> Yeah. >> Roll call vote, please. >> Yes. K. >> Yes. >> Nia. >> Yes. >> Ross.
033>> Yes. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Right. Moving on to 9F. resolution 2605 for administrative budget amendments. >> So I know a few years ago Terry Anica put together something like this because as the year end rolls forward on us and this is our last meeting to do amendments we may have some bills that roll in for vehicle repairs or something. They might put something over you know 30 40 50 bucks if something in a cost center. We have to move money from one center to the other to amend that. And so uh we just need permission from you guys to do that administratively. It doesn't add any additional debt to the budget. It's just moving it from one line item to another. And that's what this uh resolution talks about. Uh it allows
034the village manager and current authorized to make processed budget amendments and line item transfers as necessary. It limited to administrative adjustments that do not increase the total expenditures of any fund or create new capital projects without prior village council approval. And that shall be reported to the village council at a subsequent regular meeting. and it's effective until a amended or rescended by the village council. So, just wanted to get that out there. Again, I had some budget amendments uh in there. One of the bigger ones was when we came to you about the BSA plow >> and we were going to give them 5,000 and then continue on the work in November. Well, that's happening what, next week? >> June 22nd. >> Okay. Um so that was $58,000 and we thought it was in next
035budget, now it's in this budget. So, various things like that happen. We just got to move the money accordingly. What? >> So, I guess on that on that too. Um, and I guess this goes back to the treasur's report essentially. I think there's a there's a bunch of onetime fees in there. Some rubbish cleanup as well too. >> Yeah. On the on the amendments. >> Yeah. Amendments. Now was that any um that was I guess the question is that I had then is on the following page um it says that we have 372ish I think in the in the bank that's after paying this month's bills >> on my report. Yeah. On your >> Yeah. That just shows what our balance is at the end of the month under May. Yeah. >> Because a lot
036of our money sits in MClass. >> Yeah. >> In investments and they move it over to pay payroll or to pay um >> the bills. >> Bills. Yeah. >> It's not like that's all the money we have. >> And right in the one right below that the million. Okay. >> All right. >> Yes. In MClass. We have 4.2 million in MCL class. Um >> and it would have been after Mhm. Is there a cap on how much? >> There isn't. Yeah. Well, the cap would be we have x amount of uh expenditures already approved. We're not This will not allow us to increase those expenditures. But again, for instance, a transmission blows and we have to have a repair done before the the uh year ends and now I'm going to be over $2,000 in
037my police fund. Well, I don't have a meeting to come back to you with that, but I need to move it from one line to the other or one account to the other, but it won't it won't change the indebtedness perhaps of the because we're under budget on other areas. That's when I don't the state doesn't care if you're under budget on 40 areas. They only care if you're over budget on one. >> And so that's what we have to prepare for. And that's what I look forward at to as the year wraps up some of these things that are, you know, coming and um you could be $10 over and you be $200,000 under budget, but $10 over in one account and you you don't move that $10, you're in trouble with the state.
038So that's what this is trying to prevent. We're not adding any additional expenditure overall indebtedness in the budget. We just have to move it between one cost center to the next. all expenditures will still come back to you in the normal course. Um, you have to look at your budget as a rather dynamic process and sometimes the money has to move around to satisfy a mistake >> and I understand that. But was there did there used to be a cap on how much that was? >> I don't know. I tried to find the resolution that Terry had done a few years ago. Um, >> yeah, I don't know if I'm remembering. >> Yeah, >> I think you are. It's capped at like5 or $6,000. That's more maybe for expenditures or something or is that >>
039Yeah, I think so. >> Yeah. Well, >> that's one that I remember doing. >> Yeah. >> Um I'm kind of What do you think, Regina? >> I mean, because obviously it's a it's it's an administrative task, but at the end of the day too, it's >> I mean I at the end of >> money, right? >> It's a lot of money at the end of the day. I mean, obviously the, you know, like he said, you know, moving around some of the stuff for like the BSNA, that's something that, you know, we we kind of have to do. So, regardless if it's in this year or next year's budget, you know, I'm I'm fine with that. Um, you know, I just looking at the different line items like, you know, contracted services, consumers energy, insurance,
040those are some things that you can't budget for until they actually happen. So, I think those are very reasonable. Um, you know, the the DDA stuff gives me a little bit of heartburn, but it's because they're they're it's off quite a bit. >> But, you know, if you spent the money, you spent the money. >> So, let me speak. >> So, I mean, but I think overall, you know, these Yes, it's 215,000, but it just I think it adds up pretty quick all things considered. You know, I mean, even like the police department, it's like I mean, the majority of I would say what that's four two four two. So, I I mean, the majority of this is the BSNA that really blows that 215. >> Mhm. >> So, that's that's where it's like >>
041and we had budgeted in the next budget year and but now because of all that's happened like Okay, so now we got to do it. We're going to write the check now instead of in October. >> Yes. Those aren't one time bits. >> Yeah, but those are ones that you already approved. What we're What this resolution is saying, hey, if if June 28th, I realize I'm going to be over $10 under the clerk's account. I'd have to call a special meeting and have you come in here to approve that $10 move were it not for this resolution. >> Bob, I have a question for you with this resolution. And I think maybe Jake was getting to it. Is there any reason that we should because right now it basically grants um effective until amended or
042rescended by the village council. Do you foresee Joe's a great guy, but at some point like I don't want to put us up in a situation in the future where >> what you should what I would do if I was sitting at in your seat is I would I would allow for this the flexibility, but I would require that at the next meeting uh any movement of funds or budget be presented in your packet. >> Okay? And that's in there. So, >> and that's always usually because you need to see, you know, why and when and how money was moved from one account to another to make up for an issue. And again, you're going to see every expenditure come before you before it's spended, right? So, so that's not going to change. >> Um,
043this gives a little in between meeting flexibility to meet the demands of our state. >> Making sure that it comes back to you at the very next meeting, I think, is important. Okay. And that's in there. So, >> and if I may, >> and I think that's that's where you're that's where you're protected. >> We you could you could I I I agree with that that that seems too open-ended is what your point is. >> Um we could say this resolution could be just effective this budget year. And then so it's only it's only for this budget year. That's all I'm concerned about is the next three week. I'm only worried about the next three weeks or whatever it is to the end of the month. That's all I'm worried about. >> At the end
044of the day, you're just shoring it up. In theory, would a budget ever change? >> Yes. Yeah. If the transmission blows, we need a transmission like Exactly. >> So, can can you live with it being defined by time? >> Mhm. >> And there's two of us looking at it. >> Yeah. So, you could even strike you could we could amend that resolution say the resolution shall remain in effect until the end of the fiscal current fiscal year or >> Yeah, >> that's all I really care about. >> Then you could re relook at this for your next round. Yeah, you could do one every year as it's time as it's ne as necessary, you know, >> because that does seem like a forever open-ended deal. >> Yes. >> And I'm not sure how the one
045when Terry did it, it was like five, six years ago, I think she did one like this and I don't know if it went open-ended or not. So, we're like, well, I need to have something. So, that's why we're bringing it back. >> Okay. >> It was >> I will make a motion to approve resolution 26-05 with the amendment on item number four. This resolution shall remain in effect until the end of the current 2526 fiscal year ending June 30th, 2026. >> Support motion by Ross, supported by Kim. Roll >> yes. >> Nicia, >> yes. >> Knock, >> yes. >> Ross, >> Yes. Motion passes. >> I'll reward that. Sign it. We get it signed. >> All right. Moving on to 9 G. Police department requests no stop signs on Fresno Street. >> She said
046no stop sign. >> No stop. I already decided. Okay. >> She made an amendment to yours too, Chief. >> Where's Mo? >> That was a Freudian slope. We don't have that transmission. >> I was looking at Rudy. >> Uh, good evening everybody. Um, you have a copy of the letter that I proposed. It's an idea that I had. Uh, we're getting complaints because of the traffic flow that we get on Pleasant Street coming off of N24 to get over to Berdick Street. Uh, hundreds thousands of cars uh that come through there. That is a bypass. Um, Pleasant Street has a major bypass from 24 north and south. Um due to the high amount of traffic uh traveling through that subdivision, residents are claiming speed and lack of yielding for pedestrians crossing Pleasant Street on the
047Pine Trail. I went out and I spoke to residents and they requested speed limit signs to help slow people down. White Pine Coffee located trail Pleasant Street. He stated that he recommended put as many signs as you could. [laughter] Um there is nothing on Pleasant Street to slow or break right now besides a yield sign and that's just a friendly and maybe I'll tap and go. Um, and I've seen it. I live over there in that area and bikers are coming off that branch coming down that and they don't they should be stopping too and they're not. And it it it just it uh scares the heck out of me. It's just a matter of it's not a matter of if it's when. So, I thought it would be a good idea since it is
048such a hightraic area to break things up. Now, if you're coming southbound and you're approaching Dayton Street, there would be a stop sign there if you're coming southbound. If you're coming northbound, because they use it northbound against 24 as well to bypass the lake, it would be at Pleasant and Davidson. Now, you've got cars that have to stop before they get to that trail and you have White Plan Coffee there. So, now they've already stopped and they've already slowed. Yeah, stop signs aren't the the end all be all and they're going to resolve all the problems, but at least it's going to break traffic up. It's going to stop. It's going to slow them down. get a look instead of just a oh I have a yield all right maybe I'll tap and go but
049at least now they've got to stop and then they've got you see the yield sign coming up and a lot of people know they know they're supposed to be doing that but at least now they're stopping and slowing down to go through that region um so tonight I'm I'm asking or proposing the idea that we add the stop sign for Pleasant and Davidson Street Pleasant and Caiten Street for north and southbound traffic on Pleasant Street in that I had some reservations about it. Sorry to be unpopular. Um I kind of wanted to wait till Kelsey was back to actually vote on this. My thought being was she's also when like walks and is in that area often be living right there. I'm not totally convinced on the idea of having two more steps. My thought
050being I I guess I have mixed feelings about it. Could we wait until Kelsey was here if the council would think >> you want a full board, full council? >> Is it replacing the yield signs with stop signs? No, it would be the the stop signs that leave the yield sign there. >> So, stop yield >> and go. >> And then go. >> Yeah. >> So, >> Okay. Okay. So, that that makes that that's where I'm like >> it's stopping you before you get to the yield. So, it's down before you get to the yield because people are like, "Oh, it's just a yield. I'll tap." >> Well, right. I I understand. But stop yield. >> Well, okay. Maybe I misunder. >> Yeah. I had a clarification, too. I thought it was stop. >> Yeah.
051>> So >> I thought Okay. So I thought it was stop yield. >> So they're not threeway. They're not three-way stop signs. >> It's not a three-way stop at a three-way stop. >> For northbound, you're stopping at Pleasant and Davidson and then that's it. Then you go up the first street and then you make your right. >> If you're coming south, you're stopping at >> I and then you go. So it's just two total stops. >> I think we may I think we may have misread that. >> Okay. I said I >> cuz you have for north and south traffic but it it makes it sound like you're going to be two stop signs at one at north and south at Dayton and one north and south at Davidson. >> No, just one for northbound
052one for south. >> You know what? I misunderstood >> on either end. >> Can we add a sign that on each side sign that says Mo, we miss you. Yeah, [laughter] >> I have to say I I've I you know I've had my daughter going down that ramp off of um overpass there and she's you know four or five years old at the time. >> I've had that heart attack feeling and you know I've also almost been run over there. >> All right, you changed my mind. All right, >> I'm a big I'm a big fan of >> that specific. >> Yeah, I thought it was a three-way step. All right. You know what? You You've changed my mind and I misunders I misunderstood. >> So, do we do we still need Kelsey? >> I
053think we should vote tonight. >> Like to make a motion. >> Oh, no. No. No. No. I think anyone would like to make [laughter] it as presented. >> Support. >> All right. Motion by Ros, support by Nicaria. Uh all in favor, please say I. >> I. Any nays hearing? None. Motion passes. >> Thanks for the clarification. >> Thank you. I I misunderstood ours. [laughter] >> All right. Thank you. All right. 9H uh DDA request for didactic plaques installed in the district. >> Yes. So, um, as part of the >> No, as part of the America 250 village 150, we're working on a project offormational dactics on some of the historic buildings around town. Um, one of the steps that we're in right now is we've identified all the building, but now we need permission. One
054of the buildings is the Oxford Savings Bank. And so since the village is the property owner, the DDA is requesting permission from us that we'd be able to put a sign on the exterior of the building. >> I don't have any mockups of it yet. >> I need >> Are they in the >> Oh, they're not. Where are they? with the financial >> financial figures. >> I thought I even Okay. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, because they were large. >> I think we also were going to talk about Washington Square. Do we need the property owner or are we able to do that as proxy? Our agreement, if I could encapsulate, would be, you know, it it's he's allowing a DDA to use it for events and other DDA type purposes. I I don't think
055this would be too far outside the bound like adding some big liability or anything. >> I think you're okay on this. >> It's removable. I mean, he's let us >> It's not going to be permanent signage. It's just >> Well, this one No. So yeah, I've had recent conversations with him about that space and he clarified kind of his thoughts around what the agreement was and one of it he said as long as that it's being used for community gathering that we're not getting any sort of like um what do you call it? I'm sorry it's been a long day money from the events that we're doing in there for our budget. Um that he's fine with that. >> Okay. Yeah, sign doesn't seem like >> we have the bank and then tonight. >> Okay,
056>> thank you. >> I apologize for the missing dactics. >> I know they're somewhere. They were standing there somewhere. >> We'll cover it under item two. >> Go. Do I hear a motion for that? >> Yeah. >> Motion to approve the DDA request for deductive plex installed uh in Washington Square and on the >> Oxford Savings Bank. >> Support motion by Knox supported by Nicaria. All in favor please say I. >> I. Names hearing none. Motion passes. All right. Uh item I Verizon small tire >> small sock wireless installation Joe or Bob >> I'm going to pitch to Bob this while I go print off our bills and stuff. How's that? All right, Bob, you're on. >> So, the the state is very much encouraging um these units and they come out come out with
057a statute that um basically gives sort of blanket permission for these developments subject to limited powers of local governments. If you read the law, it talks about authorities, but you are a defined authority under that law. So if if if it's going to be a collocation on an existing structure, you really have no role and that's going to, you know, sail through without your involvement. Um if if it's going to be a replacement, um you have no review power and no permit power for replacements. um when it's going to be new, uh you have limited powers to play with the location within the same utility easement within 75 ft. If you can demonstrate a safety concern, that's that's your role. Um it it it's just it's uh it's it's a nozzoning review on a lot
058of this um because the state doesn't want these um held in various local governments suspended in animation while you know it's trying to go through a permit or a zoning approval. They want them they want them installed. And so the the law, you know, I it it it was fascinating the more I read it because of how ownorous it. It's small wire communications facilities deployment law. I think the title kind of tells you that they want these things deployed and uh they're kind of restricting you. So Joe, as I just explain that to you when when you see these um seemingly going up where they want them and you're wondering, well, did our planning commission did we issue it a permit? Did we go through zoning? And um if you read the law, you'll understand
059why it why that didn't happen. >> And they've already replaced poles. So >> yeah. And so you have two, I think, that are pending. and one is called proposed small cell equipment on a replacement. That's one of them. I have the plans right here. And so you have little to say on that because that's a a replacement, right? And then you have one proposed small cell equipment on a new pole. You have reason to talk about that one if you want to move it by 75 ft because as a local government, you see a safety concern with its proposed location. Sorry. Go ahead. >> I mean, they already came in and replaced the poll. >> I'm not against this, per se, but >> I know they're not asking us, per se, but notifying, but they're
060notifying us that they're replacing the poll and they did it like a month ago in front of my house. >> Yes. >> So, okay. All right. >> I agree with you. I agree with you. And and this is um this falls under the umbrella of what has gone in Michigan for years called the it it's sort of like the permitted use uh exemption doctrine where some things are just permitted without having to go through permits and zoning approvals because the state favors them. And this is one of those categories in my opinion. So um you know nobody likes them. Uh, nobody likes no coverage. >> I know. My internet's like gonna be great now. I can see it out the window. I know. >> If you don't have coverage, there's a real problem. >> Yeah.
061>> Do we know? So, I obviously the replacement, you know, it's replacement of a pole anyway. >> Yeah. >> Do we have any any rhyme or reason as why the other one that's on Lincoln Street isn't attached to a currently existing pole? >> I don't. It is. It was incredibly it was much much taller than the existing pool. >> They had to go up on this one a little bit. >> Okay. So, but I guess at the end of the day, why why would they just not >> there's a provision there's a provision that they have to live by is if collate collocation on an existing structure is at all possible. >> Right. >> They have to exercise that first. >> Okay. So, we're going to go with the assumption that they already >> Yeah.
062>> thought about putting it on the existing pole. Yes. >> Right across the street. >> Yeah. >> Is there any laws in Michigan, forgive me, I just haven't worked on the Michigan ones >> about historic preservation or distance in these particular cell towers like any evaluation in that? >> None. None under this law. >> Okay. >> But, you know, for safety reasons, you can move its location if it's a new structure. Um, you just can't deny it. very far, right? >> And you could only move it, you know, 75 ft, which is >> Oh, I'm not worried about any of these buildings. I'm just future reference. >> Yeah. >> This is the gas station for that. >> Yeah. >> And then you'll have the new um development right back here. >> It's an interesting balance,
063but uh I think the the volume of no coverage outweighs the um imposition of of of the allowance without a lot of processes. >> That's the explanation. I don't think you're we're asking uh for anything on this. >> No, just discussion. I just wanted to >> let you know what's going on >> because when they pop up around town, people might see them and and reach out and ask questions and how can why did you approve this or how you know it's really out of our hands. >> Yeah. And I'm not sure how many more you're going to see in your area. I I don't know. >> Should we trust that they actually evaluated that poll or should we ask them if they already evaluated that? >> If they evaluated for collocation, we can ask
064them. >> Okay. >> Sure. >> Yeah. I I think that would be the only thing. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Well, you know what? If you're replacing bolts, why don't you just give us a new one? >> Yeah. I mean, >> it's already there. It's just And it's right right across the street. >> We can ask that. >> Okay. No, the one on Lincoln I think is is on going on an existing pole. >> no, my the other way around. >> The existing poll. >> I thought the other put is a new one on yours. >> They took out an old pole and put in a much taller pole. >> Right. >> So, you have one that's you have one that's going on a new pole and one that's um replacement, right? >> All right. All
065right. The other one Lincoln is the new poll. All >> right. Okay. I think um >> if anybody wants the law, I can leave it with whoever wants to read it. >> I trust that you read it. No, >> but you might you might want to read it tonight though. >> I've highlighted the good. >> Okay. >> I've highlighted the good parts. >> I used to read all of these reports, but I did it for other states. So, >> yes. All right. >> So, no motion or no? >> No, we don't have any action from us tonight. I just want to make you aware of it and then Bob give you a little background on the who's and the wise in case questions arise or come up. >> Okay. All right. With hearing no further
066discussion of councel move on to J CGB program continuation letter. >> Yeah. And I put a sample letter that the county had sent. Um, basically you just need to tell them yes, we'd like to continue or no, we would not like to continue and they just want us to send us letter whatever you decide. Now they're changing the whole program at CDBG, right? >> Yes, they are. So now you can't you don't get so much money per year. You have to have a project and bid on being approved and then they look at everybody's project and what makes the most impact will be approved. >> So they'll be no longer saving up for bathroom. This is their last >> no uh no hoarding the funds for that bigger project you have to >> but they'll
067approve a bigger project. >> They will. >> Okay. >> So that's the catch to that. >> Yeah. Maybe instead of being for limited to our 11,000 whatever then we take the the public service out and maybe we would come up with something if we had something to say we have a $25,000 project and they might okay then they will look at as more of like a competitive >> what's the impact and bang for their buck type thing. be done within 18 months. >> Yeah. >> And you could get that bigger project all in one payment. >> But at this point, we we've done our ADA doors here, ADA doors over there. We're doing the new bathrooms and we're will be spending completely all of our existing funds here um through this last project. Um so
068we'll be down in good graces with them are and I don't know of any other um architectural barrier things or items like that that we would need the money for. Um, so remaining in in the program won't hurt us except for there was something that talks about you can't apply for certain other state CDBG funds if you're in this program, the urban program. But again, I don't really see us being a big applicant or user of those or ability to get those either. So if we want to remain in there, it leaves a door open for us to if something comes up to apply for a project funding. They just want to know by June 18th, we want to remain in or not. >> I will make a motion for us to continue in the
069CBDG uh program support. >> Motion by Ross, supported by Mio. All in favor, please say I. I. >> Any naysay? Hearing none. Motion passes. All right. Now I'm missing the new item on the agenda for >> 7B2 was removed. >> What do I want to think about? J >> or >> Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm now I'm just lost in my notes. All right. Item 10, item removed from consent agenda. >> Yep. I have the bills now in front of you, but they were in my folder but not printed. I had one printed, but um broken down by fund. >> Is the number right on the agenda? >> Yes. >> Do you need a minute to look through these? >> I trust the accountant. >> I hope so. [laughter] >> So, you would just need a
070separate motion on this for the roll call. >> Anyone have a motion to approve the bills? Motion to approve uh consent agenda item 7 B2 bills in the amount of $215,000 uh $215,415.95 >> second motion by Nica seconded by now roll call vote please yes >> yes >> Ross >> yes Yes. Motion carries. All right. Then on to item 11, public comments. Seeing none, we'll move on to committee reports. Uh not uh they got the audit back this past month and everything looks a-ok. Okay. It was pretty short and sweet meeting. Everything was handled. So >> Financial audit. Yes. >> So uh nonqualified. I'm sorry. >> Good opinion or bad? >> Good opinion. I'm sorry. Yes. >> Oh, the technical target. Okay. >> We missed it. Yes. Yes. Good opinion. So, all right. B planning
071commission >> haven't had a meeting. Really? >> I was out there. So, >> the last one and it was just the one drop and Vinnie's got approved. >> Oh, I was thinking CBA. >> Yeah. No, CBA, but >> cable commission. >> Um, I spoke to Mo yesterday. She thought she might get me something. wasn't m much going on but I haven't seen any email from her said there really wasn't much that they >> perfect all right DDA >> okay just very quickly some of these things I've not shared with my board yet so you only get highlights um where are we big uh push on beautifification because the weather has finally turned we're very excited about that so we've been working very closely with Joe and on making the downtown look beautiful. Um, we had
072the gazebo bid out. Um, we also had the sidewalk, uh, the Verdict Street sidewalk project completed. I think it was last week. They came in and did the ceiling of stamped concrete. So, that portion of the ARPA project is completely closed out. Um, Main Street Awards is Thursday of this week. So, we're very excited about that. We've submitted for five awards this year. So, fingers crossed. Um, the trolley was out at auction. So more to come on that and next month. And then um Skyline Lakes was also out for bid. So to upgrade those we are going to be getting a state historic marker in our park. >> At some point soon >> it was approved. >> You've done good work on that. Thank you. >> All right. E Polyand Trail. >> We have them
073back. We meet next week. Okay. >> And CBA was nothing. Yeah, I was thinking nothing, but let me back up the planning commission because when he said planning commission, I was thinking ZBA. Um, yes, One Drop Brewing got their special land used expansion, but also um Vinnie's Brunch was there 18 South the demolition part. Obviously, we dem demolished the building prior to that due to this unsafe structure, but the planning commission also took up the fact that that was in a demolition restriction zone and the public hearing requirements per the ordinance and had some feedback as to what the building will proposed building will look like and they weighed in on that and they had a lot of good feedback and they really liked the the designs put forward and so they kind of were
074really comfortable and happy to see what was being proposed. It's a two-story structure. top floor would be just u offices and stuff, but a pretty nice layout in the first floor. And I bring it up just to remind people that that was a one step related to that portion of the ordinance. It wasn't related to any site plan approval yet. We're still waiting for them to get back some drawings and stuff and building permit or the building drawings had a couple things they had to go back and correct on before they get final site plan approval. So hopefully we get something back in them relatively soon and we get to the planning commission and get their site plan approval so they can actually begin construction. >> Have they brought the fence in at all? >>
075Um yes, somebody did. >> Somebody [laughter] thank you. >> Okay. All right. >> I requested it through email to the demo company about a week later. I called the guy. They said, "Okay, they hire a fence company to set it up." And um it was remove it was moved and I'm not sure it was them. It may have been somebody else that moved it on their behalf. >> But because it was it was blocking the ADA ramp and it parked spaces for too long, >> but now it's accessible. >> Yeah. >> Great. >> All right. Perfect. >> All right. Uh manager. >> Um so we're trying to wrap up the last little bit of work that restoration work on Moyers. We have a couple little punch list items down there. Street sign at the corner.
076Um, Ox Lakeake Drive last year they paved and were gone. Did a good job in the paving. The restoration work is dragging on and on. Only a couple items out there yet to wrap up. Um, of course we're always looking forward um for the the East Street project. We had people calling a couple weeks ago. Rudy had a sewer uh videoing line video company out there videoing all the sewer mains on East Street. So, we always want to do that in preparation and prior to the uh street water main projects because if there's any issues with the sewer, we want to get down and correct them before the other work happens. We don't want to have to deal with it afterwards and get a new surface on it. We were just discussing today that there's
077a little more roots and stuff in that sewer even in the main than we were expecting and then Rudy was expecting based on the less trees in that area than others. So, we'll be have to look at what we need to do whether it's this fall in before that project or right on the front end of that project along with the same contractor or not. We're not sure to to address some of those root infiltration infiltration issues uh on that before we get to the work. But still moving forward, those waterland projects seem to never end. >> Trash. And oh, and so the last few weeks after a long stint when priority waste came to us a few months ago and had a new operator manager, um they at that point they cleaned up and
078they were great for I don't know six, eight, nine weeks and then I don't know if it's a combination of uh the yard waste hitting once the weather broke, people inundating them with yard waste puts them behind schedule, whatever, but they've been behind schedule I think three weeks in a row. Um I you know I I'm I'm texting this gentleman who's out of town and I'm out of town trying to get a hold of him and it's just it's it's unacceptable. We um we need to make a change and we need to put them back on notice about that that doesn't conform with their contract and maybe remove some payments uh or sections or portions of their contract to reflect poor service. Um I'm working with Bob and Bob's working with other communities to end
079of the same issues. So >> yeah, this is uh [clears throat] this is not limited to your community. Um priority waste and their trash business has been the focus of my life for about three days now. Um I'm meeting with them tomorrow morning on behalf of three communities in Oakland County in Oakland County. And so I am demanded that their new CEO attend that meeting along with their head of legal counsel. Um, as you know, they were bought out greater than 51% by an equity firm called RTG. And RTG uh restructured the CEO position to a former waste management uh guy. He's pretty good fellow who's been around a long time. Um but the service in the last two weeks really for the month of May and June in many communities has been absolutely unacceptable.
080And talking to Joe about this, it's, you know, if we could just break it down very simply, if if you hire me to mow your lawn and and I and I don't mow your lawn, you're probably not going to pay me. That's the way I'm looking at this. And um if you look in the newspaper, you see the city of Westland did a contract non-payment adjustment of $100,000 by resolution of their board last week. City of Slair Shores terminated the contract. SuPante had a meeting and engaged the new company to provide services going forward in an interesting process. Um my current letter to them that just got to them um about 10 minutes ago is seeking non-payment of $379,000 for Oakland County communities that did not receive proper service. So I'm only I'm giving you
081that because I don't want you to feel like you've been targeted somehow. It's a systemic issue that needs to get corrected. It's a combination of not enough resources, not enough workers, and a a a real restructuring of the organization with a new CEO. Um, actions with Mr. Stomp Todd are ongoing and those are being held sort of confidential as to what um what's going to be the fallout on that. um the problem you have in the industry right now and and I'm dealing with this on your countywide material management planning program and working with your county, Mcome County, EMTT County and a bunch of other counties on the on the implementation of waste as a whole that you're going to be dealing with very soon when it comes to you for approval is that the
082arsenal of who's out there to do this work is not as great as it used to be. So, I can tell you in the last five major RFPs that I've done, I get the same people. You know, I don't get any there's no new blood out there. There's like four companies until you go out for an RFP and you get the same people. Um, so we're struggling with that on on one front, but the the service is unacceptable. One of the things that at the heart of a of a local community is the reliability of of residential trash pickup. And when it doesn't happen, the phone rings a lot, right? And if it's going well and you don't hear about it, that's a good sign. And when you hear about it, it's a bad sign.
083And we're in that position right now. So I I may have more answers for Joe by noon tomorrow. From our end, we were pretty lenient with them when they showed up last time. >> You were. You were. >> We were very kind and generous. >> You were. >> And they were great for a few weeks. And we're back to square one. And I think our kindness is done. And if I, you know, I know you'll have more answers hopefully by tomorrow, but >> Well, I'm going to be recommending to Joe that there be a contract adjustment in the next payment. Does that then go back to our residents? >> No. >> Because they're still paying the same and that's the an issue with single hauler. Well, I love it. >> I know. I I understand
084the con, but there's got to be a penalty >> and it's got to be, you know, via um money. That seems to be the only thing that gets people to the table. So, we'll look at that issue on >> whether or not, you know, there could be some sort of uh credit back, you know, to those who who pay. It's as simple as what I said about the lawnmowing. I mean, if if you hire me and I don't mow your lawn, you're not going to send me a check, are you? Well, maybe some of you would. Um, >> except for the full amount, >> right? You're going to you're you're you're going to you're going to prorrate that check, right? You're going to prorrate the check. So, it it is a it is right now
085a very systemic problem within their organization. It's got to get fixed. >> Do we have a this on the agenda for next month? Unless there's some miraculous uh >> Sure. >> Okay. >> Just do we need to send them um like an official letter or something like that that >> we have communicated with them and now we're going to send a more um demanding notice. >> I mean one way or another we need the trash pickup, right? >> Yes. So >> yes, >> we're going to have to get that resolved quickly. >> Yes. >> Thank you. Um, I got all that. >> Sorry. Thank you. >> After all, all the trash talk. >> Yes. [laughter] >> So, we're going live on the cloud on the 22nd. So, Thursday the 18th, just so everybody knows that
086we're going to be closed to the public because we're not going to have access to our systems and we're be doing training for the new systems on Monday. That's about it. >> Thank you. Bob, anything else in your garbage? >> No, that's all I got. Sorry. >> All right. Council comments. No. >> No. Uh >> oh, I I'm going to forgo that. That's why >> no potential.

087in um doing a lot of these administrative things that frankly we just don't have time for. So, and and your expertise has been, you know, wonderful. So, thank you very very much.

Uh we it is being sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Um and it we have an the American Revolution, the Legion, the numerous boy scout troops are going to be part of it.

088be really nice.
