President Pro Temp Tate,
President move approval of line item 18 point 18,
please. 18 point 18.
Yep, 18 point 18.
Okay with discussion. Okay, protein Tate,
thank you. This item came before the committee, and it is located in District Four, and I do not want to steal thunder from my colleague who done the investigator work on the individuals who were seeking this approval from this body. So Through you, madam president, if you would not mind, I would turn it over to member Johnson.
Okay, Council Member Johnson, thank
you, Madam President, thank you, Madam President, thank you. Pro Tem, yes, in committee, we did discuss that. This item was brought before committee. I had an opportunity to meet with the individual who's interested in these lots, a lot of the information that was shared with me was erroneous information. It was false information, and I learned that because the individual had pursued other lots in District Four prior to these, when the community got wind of it being a full mushroom farm and not a produce farm in addition to a mushroom farm, residents were not happy with it. That information was withheld this time. But of course, I remember the previous conversation. There was indication that the individual lived in the district and provided us with an actual post office address. And I'm not sure actually, based on my previous conversations, the individual lived elsewhere. And the only reason that was important to me was being able to maintain and cultivate a farm if you're growing mushrooms, if you're growing produce, it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort. And so another thing that came up during our conversation was any experience with farming, and the individual shared with me that they were farming in their apartment. And so all of those raised issues and concerns for me, and because of that, I am asking for my colleagues to deny this particular request, and I'm sure the petitioner may be listening if there's anything that I have incorrect or if there is any information that you'd like to share with me, please Do so that we can fully flush out a request to acquire land to do farming, please reach out to the office. I would love to have that conversation, but right now, I do not feel like this is a inappropriate request, and that the petitioner has the capacity to actually move forward with this without a lot of questions and concerns coming back to me because of the the purchase or the city to sell these properties to this particular individual at this time. Thank you, Madam President. All right. Thank
you so much. Council member Johnson, so we moved, you moved it already. Okay? So President Pro Tem has already moved this item, 18.8 for approval. Are there any objections? Objections,
objection take action waters.
Objection member Johnson,
objection member, Durrell
Jackson. Member,
Santiago Romero.
Action, Councilman, Scott Benson,
discussion, this is 18. Point 18. Right. Yes, not 18.8.
18, point 18. Okay.
Objection, remember young number one
in objection, Sheffield, right. Madam, clerk, do you have all of the no's?
I have eight nos. Madam President, that item fails.
Any further objection? All right, hearing no further objections. 18.8 that resolution does fail. And President Pro Tem Tate, Madam
President, move approval of line items, 18 point 13 through 18 point 17.
All right. Motion has been made for approval for the remaining items. Yeah. Discussion, yes. Discussion, and we will start with council member Benson
118, point 15 through yourself either to the chair to the administration, just why a extension only to the November of this year, versus a longer extension for the closing? Is that enough time?
Mr. Washington, Good
afternoon, Madam Chair and Council. We do have Rebecca Lebo online.
All right, we will move Miss Rebecca over
and we also have director Schneider online as well. And director Schneider i
All right, good afternoon, and council member Benson has the
floor. Thank you through yourself to Director Snyder looking at the letter requesting extension, a grant. This request is through November of 2024, by only through the end of November of this year, versus a longer extension, and will that be enough time for the closing to occur? Um,
through the chair. What we are requesting is to stand extend the DA which which speaks to the start date. We have been working closely with the developer, as well as other other lenders such as Mister and HUD on this deal. We've identified a pretty clear window and when we believe this project is going to close and are requesting a date that is shortly thereafter. Though, does, does allow some time if there are some changes that delay things a couple of weeks, but we want to extend it to what we feel is, is the very, very strongly, is the start date for this project.
Okay, so then you're saying you do believe that November 30, enough time for a close
Absolutely. Okay, thank you.
Any additional questions that for that one? Yes. Member waters,
thank you. 18. Point 17, Madam President, it always on raising red flag for me when there's this many properties, do we know if any of those properties are occupied number one and number two? Do we know what type of development is going to be happening there? Who would know? First and foremost, are they occupied?
I'm not sure if Rebecca can hear us. Mr. Washington. Do we have someone on for this item? 18, point 17, regarding the property sale from the land bank to new crime residents,
my apologies. Yes, we can promote Ben Newman from the land bank.
Okay, we will promote Mr. Newman, Madam
President. I do believe that this item came out of committee without recommendation as well. I don't see it on the I see it here on the agenda is just wanted to remind that there was some conversations moved out without recommendation. Okay,
that recommendation.
All right, Mr. Newman, Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon. All right. Member waters has the floor. She has questions regarding 18, point 17.
All right. Thank you, Madam President. The first question that I have, I need to know if these properties are occupied as number one and number two, what are the plans for these properties? This development?
Yes, so these are 28 vacant parcels, and the developer plans to construct multi family housing, affordable housing project on the site.
The occupant i They
are vacant parcels?
Sure, yes. Okay. Thank you, Madam President.
Thank you so much. Member Johnson, thank
you, Madam President, so the reason this item came out of committee without a recommendation is because we still don't have a solidified MOU with the Detroit Land Bank Authority. My attempt was to have some conversations with the land bank and see if we could get the items that so many of us have been asking to be included within the MOU to be addressed. That has not happened yet, to my knowledge, but that is just the reason that it came out without recommendation. Thank you, Madam President.
Thank you. Member. Johnson, was there any additional questions or concerns for this item. All right, thank you, Mr. Newman, thank you hearing no Okay, thank you hearing no additional questions or concerns. A motion has been made for approval. Are there any objections? Objection member waters,

Council Member Whitfield Callaway to resolutions, line items, 1930 and 1931
council member Calloway, yes, thank
you, Madam Chair, before I move for approval, I'd like to read the resolutions. They are prepared by LPD in support of Michigan Senate bills, 818, through 827, whereas the Detroit city charter requires the city to provide for the public peace, health and safety of all Detroit residents, and to provide for the development and welfare of our youth, our most precious resource, resource. And whereas in April of 2024 Michigan senators, guys Kavanaugh, Anthony Chang and Santana, introduced Senate bills 818, through 827, also known as the Michigan monomers bill package. And whereas the bill package aims to uplift black maternal health care by studying systemic racial disparities in health care and proposing changes to address the issues impacting black mothers and babies. And whereas the National Institutes of Health has found that black patients are systematically under treated for pain relative to white patients due to racial biases, and the maternal mortality rate for black women nationally is more than twice as high as their white counterparts, according to the Centers for Disease Control and whereas, according to the Michigan data for Michigan maternal mortality surveillance program from 2015 to 2019 black women were nearly three times more likely to die from pregnancy related causes, and 60% of the state's total maternal deaths were preventable. And whereas, among other things, this bill package will utilize the Michigan Department, Department of Health and Human Services to monitor and study bias perinatal care, require your Department of Civil Rights to receive reports that may identify instances of violence or racism, ensure that hospitals have a policy in place to support patient protection, ensure that pregnancy status does not affect the right for a patient to advocate for life sustaining treatment decisions and supports the ability of patients to use midwives. And whereas, additionally, Senate Bill 283 would amend the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act to ensure the definition of sex discrimination includes pregnancy lactation status. And whereas the Detroit City Council is committed to eliminating racial biases and medical care and to protecting the rights of all Detroit residents to receive the best prenatal and postnatal care possible. Now, therefore, be it resolved the City Council strongly urges the Michigan legislature to pass Senate's bill, 818, through 827, now, be it finally resolved that the Detroit City Clerk provide a copy of this resolution to Detroit delegations of both the Michigan State House and Senate, in addition to our governor, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, motion to approve Madam Chair, line item 1913
All right, a motion has been made for approval. Thank you. Member Calloway, thank you. And Hearing no objections, that resolution will be approved.
Thank you, Madam Chair, line item 19, point 31 is in support of the governor's executive order. 2024, dash four establishing the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. I'd like to read that resolution as well. LPD, thank you. LPD, this is a resolution in support of Governor Gretchen Whitmer Executive Order 2024 dash for establishing the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. Whereas in 2020, firearm related incidents became the leading cause of death for all children and adolescents in the United States. And whereas Michigan has the 15th highest rate of gun violence in the United States, where in an average year, 1212 people die and 3507 are wounded by guns in Michigan. And whereas Michigan has the 29th highest social societal cost of gun violence in the US at $909 per person each year, costing Michigan $9 billion of which 423 million is paid by taxpayers. And whereas tragedies at Michigan State University, Oxford High School, the Rochester Hills splash pad and most recently, the block party mass shooting on Detroit s east side serve as just a few sobering examples of what occurs when the root causes of gun violence are not addressed. And whereas the state of Michigan has taken action to change laws and policy to address gun violence, enacting legislation regarding background checks, safe storage laws, extreme risk protection orders and stronger gun penalties for those convicted of domestic violence. And whereas the gun related violence epidemic in America represents a public health crisis disproportionately impacting low income and vulnerable communities, and whereas black males are 15 times more likely to be a victim of gun related violence than their white, Hispanic, Indian, Asian and other counterparts, both on a state by state basis and nationwide. And whereas irrational and senseless shootings continue to torment the community, prevent stability and cause the deterioration of most basic social contract of the right to live peacefully. And whereas on June 20, 2024 Governor Whitmer enacted Executive Order 2024 dash for establishing the gun violence provision task force with the Michigan Department of Health and Human human services for the purpose of serving in an advisory capacity to the governor and the director of Department on the root causes of possible solutions for gun violence in Michigan. And whereas the task force may include representatives of the executive branch of state government from various divisions associated with community violence intervention, chronic disease and injury control, behavioral and physical health, victim services and state police, and whereas the task force will engage various stakeholders, including local government officials, individuals with relevant lived experience related to gun violence, medical professionals, research institutions, law enforcement and community organizations to review, develop and recommend laws, policy and other legally permissible action to reduce the race and instances of gun violence in Michigan and whereas the city of Detroit Council recognizes the urgency of ending gun violence and preserving all lives in the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Detroit City Council supports this executive order and the establishment of the statewide Gun Violence Prevention Task Force to continue to raise awareness to the causes of Gun Violence and help build more solutions to prevent future gun related tragedies by identifying and addressing the root causes of this public health crisis plaguing our community, state and country. Thank you, Madam Chair, Move for approval.
All right. Thank you so much. Member Callaway and a motion has been made for approval. Are there any objections? Hearing no objections. The one resolution will be approved. Madam Chair,
Madam President.
And before we go to you, Mr. Washington, member durha, thank you, Madam
President, I would just like member ask member Callaway if I could join her on this resolution, please. And
I don't know if there's any objection to the name of the council, okay, all right, there's no objections. We will put this in the name of the council. Madam Clerk. Clerk
will So note, Madam President,
Mr. Washington,
thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but for line items, 19.6 to 19.8 um, I do believe that director counts had addressed the concerns for 19.8 she could speak to 19.6 and 19.7 we weren't aware that there would be a request to remove but if she could be afforded the opportunity to just briefly address that would be much appreciated.
So these were the items I thought they requested to be sent back to committee or
PDD did, Madam President and to you, these were requests from TDD, and it was my understanding that they were on in conversation with Director counts happy to reconsider or to make a motion to vote on these items, and if someone from PDD is here, really, we need to hear from PDD, who has requested that we hold these because of the historic designation application that could be given to these properties. So I would want to hear from PDD, to hear from them and from director counts. All right. So Mr. Washington, if we have someone here from PDD, possibly, please. And then also director counts as well.
Yes, Madam Chair, Director counts is online, and I'll reach out to PDD now to see what to find.
So do you mind? We'll come back when you have someone on from PDD. That's okay, so we could talk about it as one.
Okay, thank you so much. Just
let me know when they're on. All right? Thank
all right from the mayor's office.
Council member young, 12 resolutions, line items, 20.1 through 20 point 12.
Council member Young,

The resolutions will be approved. The 12 resolutions will be approved. Any waivers for those, a request for a waiver for line item 20.6 hearing, no objections, that action will be taken. I
okay
from the Office of contracting and procurement.
Council member young three resolutions, line items, 20 point 13 through 20 point 15, noting that all three are contracts for the General Services Department. First contract is contract number 6006466, 100% city funding to provide portable toilets and services. Contractor is Parkway Services Incorporated. Total contract amount $1,050,000 next contract is contract number 6006462, 100% city funding to provide playground improvement at Milan Park, playground, concrete walkway, picnic shelters, benches, etc. Contractors, Michigan recreational construction incorporated total contract amount 450,000 last contract is contract number 6006463, 100% ARPA funding to repair in or renovate the city's properties at various locations, including Detroit Historical Museum contractors Detroit Historical Society. Total contract amount, 1,200,000 council member young, three resolutions.
Council member Young,
thank you, Madam President, Move to approve line items 20 point 13 through 20 point 15. With
discussion, yes.
Discussion. President progeny Tate, Thank
you, ma'am. Line item, 20 point 15. I'm saying here we did not receive the account. Stream and where this the funds are coming from, and if someone has that information, or maybe I missed it.
Yes, member young,
you said, you said you didn't. You didn't see the account string. No, sir, because I'm looking at it now. Okay,
whoever can help me out?
Okay, did you want me to show it to you, or did you want to leave today's line? It doesn't matter, because I'm seeing on my teeter report, I can read the number to you if you want. Okay, so the Account screen, 3923, dash, 22004, dash, 470010, dash, 631100, for 20, 2015,
okay, and that's what I see as well, ARPA funding as well. Did you need anything additional, pro
tem, okay, got it.
Thank you. Thank you pro tem, Thank you. Member young, any additional questions for these items?
Discussion on online. Item 20 point 13. Madam Chair,
yes. Member Callaway,
thank you, Madam Chair, no, I'll be a no on 2020, 13. And this is the reason why, Madam Chair, this is a contract that we, since I've been here, we we have it every single year. We spend millions on renting porta potties. And I just don't know why the city has not looked into buying some porta potties to address the amount that we're already spending. So I, you know, we talked, we went back and forth about this during during committee. I just think that we're spending way too much of the people's money, and this is city funding on renting porta potties for a company in Ypsilanti. We did it last year. I think we did it the prior year. And I keep asking, When can we buy our own porta potties? And then they will say, well, who's going to, you know, manage them and maintain them. I get that, but these are multi million dollar contracts to rent porta potties every single year. So, Madam Chair, I know when you ask for objections, I'll be an objection. Thank you, Madam Chair. All
right. Thank you so much. Member Callaway, and I did hear that conversation in committee. And Mr. Washington, if you're listening, just moving forward, and we'll put it in writing just if you can actually submit a cost analysis on how much it will cost for the city to purchase and clean the porta potties versus how much we're contracting out. So moving forward, if there's any amendments or requests, I'll be able to better, you know, judge what what the cost difference is and what is better financially for the city of Detroit, so I would like to see that moving forward for any additional contracts for this, for this use, that I don't think they submitted anything in writing with the cost difference would be okay. So thank you for that they did. Okay, perfect. Okay, perfect. Alright. Member Young has moved this forward, and we will put that in writing as well. Yes, Council Member waters, oh, not
regarding that. I just want to request a waiver of something else. Okay,
alright, so member Young has moved these items forward, and that's 20 point 13 through 20 point 15. Any objections. Objection.
Council member Callaway, online item 20 point 13, thank you.
Alright. The clerk would note. Clerk will So note. Madam

We do have a few walk ons from Committee, public health and safety committee that we should probably take up.

any objections Hearing none the one resolution will be approved. All right, we will now move. Okay. We will now go back. Mr. Washington, do you have someone on for the items that you would like us to take up that were sent back to committee?
Yes, Madam Chair, um, Director counts is still online, and I am I believe that the representative from HRD should be joining us.
Okay, we can Please promote director counts. And do you have the name for the representative?
Yes, I believe Jason Friedman should be joining us.
Well, both of those individuals, yes, yes, I believe
he's driving, so he may need a moment to pull over.
Director counts has already been promoted. She just needs
to turn the camera on Good
afternoon. Lawn counts, director of the construction and demolition department,
demolition department, all right. Director
counts, did you have some information regarding what
was item six, Madam President, to you, 19.6 through 19.8 and through you to Mr. Washington, did you mention that somebody is here from the source designation board as well.
Yes, Madam Chair, I do see Lisa from Asia. That may be online,
right? Madam President, through you to Director counts and to Lisa. Good afternoon we're discussing. Would like to motion for discussion for 19.6 or 19.8 so we have been flagged by PDD that there are properties in these contracts that are eligible for historic designation. I hadn't understood that there was communication happening between departments, and just want to make sure that we are clear about what is possible and what's not and how to do so. So I like to turn it over to Lisa first, who flagged the properties in these contracts, who who share with us the possibility of these being eligible for historic designation and what that could mean for developments before we hear from director counts, if there is a process to remove those properties from demolition, Madam President, through you to Lisa,
thank you very much. Councilwoman Santiago Romero through the chair. It was our office that flagged for PDD. Five schools that we saw were in these line items. Those schools are as follows, Parker School at 12744, el Mira also Healy school at 12834, West Parkway, the Hutchinson school at 5220, French, the Arthur school at 10125 King Richard, and then the Macomb school at 12051 Evanston. All five of these schools have been identified as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, both based on an extensive school study that was done in the past, as well as included and acknowledged as eligible for listing in the National Register in PDS 2020, report after school Detroit, which was an extensive overview of city owned former public school buildings, that analysis was done where all those schools were reviewed in terms of their reuse potential. The fact that they are all eligible for listing in the National Register also means they're eligible for federal historic tax credits as well as state historic tax credits. You know, I think we all widely understand that these buildings are built rock solid. They're great candidates for affordable housing, which, of course, is a major need in the city right now. They are anchors in their neighborhoods. And you know, while we understand many people often view the buildings, vacant buildings, as eyesores in their community. These buildings are not as far as we're concerned or have been informed emergency demo candidates, these buildings are pretty strong, I mean, strongly built in and could never be replicated again, rebuilt it in in in terms of the the intrinsic value that they hold today. So we just flagged these with PDD and Jason Freeman, who you mentioned is on the phone. Had had also realized that one, indeed Healy school had indeed had a an entity interested in the in the building and submitted a proposal. It's been frustrating for us, because as far as we can tell, a lot of these schools are have really not been actively marketed for some time, which means that's why they sit with no plan and no efforts to find a developer that could take them on. We are aware some community groups have been vocal wanting some of these buildings in their neighborhoods to be saved. So it's my hope that this could be an opportunity to go back, reevaluate what the status is of these buildings, especially those already identified in the after school Detroit report, which was a really significant study done by PDD, a really an award winning study, in fact. And just see where we are with these buildings that have not yet been demolished, our office is happy to help in any way.
Will you be done? Member Santiago Romero,
Yes, Madam President, I wanted to hear from director counts, given the information that has been shared from the historic designation board, if, if if demo has been approached, and if it's possible to hold these properties, and what that would look like to give the to give the designation board some time to see if there are any resources to develop these properties. Director
count through the chair,
so we are aware of the school study, the department actually construction and demolition had been working with PDD at the time that the study was presented, and we actually were taking a very secondary role to this report. It was through the review of this report that the direction was determined that the a large portion of the schools on the list would move to the demo list. That was the decision that was given to us from PDD. There were six schools that were identified as potential candidates for sale and adaptive use, and so those properties we have never moved forward with. But the balance of the list about 33 schools the demolition department move forward or survey and demolition activities in order to ultimately demolish all of those structures. In that time, there have been triggers for properties off and on, and that's they go through a process in which they have to be approved to be either held or completely pulled from the list. And most recently, the property at 12834, West Parkway had been approved to be held. So we should, you should have had a correction letter submitted to you, basically pulling that property from the contract. But moving forward with the balance of the other properties, it's, it's new to the department that the direction would be to hold these properties for some other designation at this time, because the direction was initially, like I said, to move the properties to demo. As far as we are aware, we have not had any communications with the department, with PDD, or with historic about possibly holding these properties or not. And I'm not aware of any of the other properties going through the process in which to have them pulled or held.
Thank you. Thank you. Director counts, Council Member Johnson,
thank you, Madam President. So seeing that three of these properties are in District Four and the ones that are in District Four, I know they have not been able to make it through this body successfully, I'm happy to work with Dr de quiera to see if we can identify some developers. I know we just had a Developer Summit, and perhaps if we could have some time to have that conversation, especially since they haven't been made, been able to make it through this process with an approved contract, I'm certainly willing to have that conversation. I know some preliminary conversations have been had relative to the properties in District Four. There is, there is a community organization that had been looking at one of the properties, working with a former employee of BC. And so I can certainly reach out and find out about financial capacity to be able to take on these projects. But would love to take some time during recess to speak with Dr dikiera, as well as anyone, any developers that may have the capacity to rehabilitate these properties in district court. Thank you, Madam President.
Thank you so much. Member Johnson, sounds like we're going to keep the motion as is for now, these items were removed from the agenda already 19.6 through 19.8 to allow further discussions to take place regarding the historic nature of the properties we thank you all both for coming on and thank you so much for being here virtually. Okay, yes. Member Young,
thank you, Madam President. I like to request a waiver for Lyon 23.1 and 20 point 14.
You just state what the items are. 23.1
point 3.1 is the petition for Dave's choice community development. Okay, and 20 point 14 is to provide playground improvement at Milan Park. Okay? Any
objections to a waiver on those two items, hearing none a waiver will be attached. We will now move to the referrals for the president's report on standing committee referrals and other matters for the internal operations standing
committee submitted a memorandum. The memorandum
will be referred to the internal operations committee for the Neighborhood and Community Services standing committee,
Madam President, number 23.1 was supposed to know business. So there is a submitter of memorandum. The
one memorandum will be referred to Neighborhood and Community Services for the planning and development department or committee. Excuse
me, submitted of two memorandums. The two
memorandums will be referred to the Planning and Economic Development standing committee for the public health and safety standing committee President
know that last items 25.2 is the zoning ordinance, so I think it should be referred to the planning committee. So there should be seven reports of various state departments.
Okay, the seven reports will be referred to the public health and safety standing committee. And are we going to refer 25.2 to Planning and Development? Yes, Madam
President, okay,
Hearing no objections that will go to finding and development under the consent agenda.
There are no asthma. President, all right, we
will call now for member report
motion to suspend.
Okay?
There are any objections to suspending hearing now we will suspend member reports under adoption without committee reference.
There are no as mother president
under communications from the clerk. Yeah, no.
