The committee met to receive a quarterly performance update from DDOT Director Robert Kramer, consider several contracts and memos, and hear public comments. The meeting included discussion of bus reliability, shelter inspections, DDOT interactions with ICE, and routine approvals.
Councilmember Denzel McCampbell. Good morning, President. Councilmember Mary Waters. Present. Thank you, Mr. Clerk. Given a quorum we'll go into the agenda for today. We did receive our minutes from last session. If there's a motion to approve. Motion to approve. Hearing no objections, our minutes from our last session will be approved. I have no chair remarks for today. We can go right into public comments. Just want to remind everyone that we do have a I guess I do have chair remarks. I want to remind folks that we do have a 1015 a.m. presentation regarding D dots. This will be for quarter four. We do hold these quarterly updates in this committee. So expect that conversation to happen in a few. Before then, we can go into general public comment for today. Everyone will have a minute and a half for general public comments. And again, we have a presentation. If you have any questions or concerns you want to share for D Dot and myself and my colleagues, please do. And this is also a time to share whether whatever comments concerns the general public has. We'll go with folks that we have here in person. If there's anybody here in person for general public comments, Mr. Foster seems to be the only one. If you wouldn't mind coming and joining us here at the front of the room, when the microphone is on and when you are ready, you can go ahead and begin. And I will cut off general public comments in two minutes. So at 10 07, please raise your hands by then if you would like to make public comments. We'll begin with the folks here in person. Mr. Foster, whenever you are ready, you can begin. But with the knowledge I know the police chief is limited to what he could do. We still have issues with the union, who is ultimately going to make the decision as to what goes on with any uh rogue officers, the one or two percent. And until this community have more oversight and involvement in those um punishments or reliefs, then we're going to continue to have issues in this city. Secondly, when it relates to ice, I think it's important to understand that in America, a reasonable articulate suspicion that a crime has occurred is needed to establish probable cause, which means that that's needed to engage anybody. And so um, and then secondly, in the state of Michigan, the state of Michigan, it's not a ask an ID state, which means that nobody's required to give their ID to anybody. Um, unless there is a reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred, is suspected of a crime. And so I think those things are important. They need to be enforced. I see ICE out here doing what they want to do. They bought uh a facility nearby, and so I hope that the city really takes stronger stance on what we thank you, Mr. Foster. General public comment is now going to be cut off. We are going to turn it over to the folks that we have online. Ms. Evangelista, how many hands do we have raised and who do we have first? Good morning, madam chair and council members. We have 10 hands raised online.
