0:00Everyone, I would like to call to order our public health and safety standing committee for today, Monday, March 16th, 2026.
0:09Miller Clerk please call the roll.
0:11Good morning, Councilmember Gabriela Santiago Romero.
0:14Good morning, present.
0:15Councilmember Denzel McCampbell.
0:18Councilmember Mary Waters.
0:24Given a quorum, we'll go right into the agenda for today.
0:29Just want to remind everyone that we are in budget season, meaning that our meeting today will be constrained to one hour before we go into hearings for the rest of the day.
0:42If you're interested in the hearing today, we will hear from the fire department's construction and demolition.
0:48And then for the afternoon, we will hear from DDOP Transportation.
0:53And if you're interested in any of those hearings, please join us.
0:58But we'll go into the agenda for our session for today.
1:07Hearing no objections, our minutes will be approved from our last session.
1:12Just shared brief chair remarks for uh this morning.
1:15Again, reminding everyone of what's to come ahead for today and for the next few weeks.
1:27Go into general public comment for this morning.
1:31If the clerk can please note, we've been joined by our vice chair McCampbell.
1:38And with that, we'll go into general public comments.
1:41I don't see anyone here in person.
1:43If you are online, please raise your hands now.
1:45If you would like to make general public comments, I will be cutting off public comment in two minutes.
1:50So at 9 04, public comment will be cut off.
1:54Please raise your hands now if you want to be added to the queue.
1:58And we will begin with the folks online, noting that there's nobody here in person for public comments.
2:11Morning, madam chair.
2:13Um there are five hands raised online.
2:16We will get everyone a minute and a half for this morning.
2:20Again, we only have an hour for committee.
2:22So we'll give everyone a minute and a half for general public comment this morning.
2:28And I see the time is on the screen.
2:32Whenever you're ready, we can begin with the first caller.
2:35First caller is William M.
2:43Davis, if you can hear us.
2:49Yes, I I like your um the questions you send into the water department.
2:54I think more needs to be done with the water department.
2:58As you may or may not know, I worked for the water department for 34 years.
3:02And we used to actually do more preparative planning.
3:06Um, you know, we had floods during the time that I was there, but very rarely we've had more floods in the last 13 years since the bankruptcy than I think than the whole 34 years I worked for the water department.
3:22Uh also you might want to find out are they actually doing any uh emergent emergency preparedness planning?
3:29Because we used to do mark exercises, you know, to deal with none of a different type of contingency.
3:34Uh myself and a few others was you know, chant was uh trained with uh FEMA Instant Commander training, you know, to deal with a number of things because at the wastewater treatment plant where I worked at oh out in Southwest Detroit, you know, they have tank cars of chlorine, and you know, we had to deal with possibilities of leaks that could adversely affect the whole downriver community in Southwest Detroit.
3:59So hopefully you can encourage them to do more than what they are doing and be a little bit more responsive and plan for more potential problems.
4:11And there is a climate recovery task force that me and member Johnson, member waters as well, I believe are part of, and we are meeting with various departments, including emergency management.
4:24Um we will talk with water because a lot of the reason why we are having this task force is because of flooding.
4:32Davis, I would actually like to hear from you your thoughts on prevention.
4:35Um, because I am beginning to think that maybe we could um prevent a lot of the problems that we have if we just took care of our assets.
4:44Uh, with that, public comments, general public comments is cut off.
4:49Foster, I saw you walk in before 904.
4:51Would you like to make public comments?
4:54You you are free to join us uh since you are here in person.
5:00Uh, but for everyone else, public comments is now cut off.
5:03Foster did make it before the cutoff.
5:05And whenever you're ready, sir, you can make sure your microphone is on and you can begin.
5:10Oh, good morning through the chair.
5:12I did want to bring to your attention uh for whatever reason.
5:16Um, I don't have access to raise my hand on uh devices.
5:21Um, none of my devices, so if that could be addressed, I would appreciate it.
5:28Um I do believe in some ways that it's intentional.
5:33But I did want to speak uh just very briefly about uh police union.
5:39I spoke um over the weekend a few times, you know, in 1997, the city had prosecuted Star Scared Hush, the police department.
5:52They got appealed at '97 based upon the showing of Malcolm X and the jurors.
6:01The police union stood up and gave them the best representation that money could buy.
6:07Not only that, they did it for a lot of the other officers to have egregious acts.
6:13As well as our previously spoke, this police union do not see right or wrong.
6:18They don't see good or evil, they only see blue.
6:22And they have to make some stand at some point and acknowledge their wrongs and a desire to do different in this community.
6:33They cannot just move forward as things stand as if this is a fresh start.
6:39They have to acknowledge their wrongs and make a new start.
6:46Before you hand out, if if you're okay with this, I would like us to look at your phone so that when you raise your hand so that we can make sure that it that it's being done correctly, because we are not going to lower your hands, sir.
6:59So I want to make sure that we that we got it on the back end so that it works.
7:05Uh, we will now turn it over to the folks that we have online.
7:08Um, who do we have next?
7:12Our next caller is caller ending in one six nine.
7:16Caller ending in one six nine.
7:23Hello, can you guys hear me?
7:28Um, I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.
7:31Um, yes, I'm talking to you, all of you.
7:34I appreciate all of you for praying and helping help people.
7:39When I think of Cunningham, I think of the word gumption.
7:42Um, gumption is defined as bold initiative, courage, resourcefulness, and common sense combined.
7:49It refers to the drive and mental acuity to take action, especially in difficult situations, often described as having guts or smunk.
7:58It implies being a self-starter who possesses both practical understanding and the audacity to succeed.
8:07Thank you and fix D dot.
8:15Our next caller is Betty A.
8:22Uh good morning to all within the sound of my voice.
8:26Barner, the president of the Soda Else for Black Association.
8:30Uh, giving information this morning.
8:32If you are a caregiver for your loved one, and you need some assistance, you need to take a break.
8:42But you uh daily or whenever you are helping your loved one, you're doing it from your heart, but you need help.
8:51There's a program, community solutions, and Mrs.
8:56Roy is the executive director.
8:58She has multiple programs under her umbrella.
9:02Some you need Medicaid, some you don't.
9:05But she had what's unique about her program.
9:07She has one program that's focuses on caregivers.
9:12And you, if you become a part of that program, you get support, and also the person that you are providing the care for gets support.
9:23They come into the home.
9:24She had people coming to the home to assist your uh loved one with what it is they need.
9:31You also receive services.
9:33You can get there's group activities.
9:36Uh they go on luncheons.
9:38Uh you can get a massage, uh, you can get your nails done, and they have uh activities and things for the men if they're caregivers, and it's all free, and you can call 31348-438-08.
9:54You don't need to be on Medicaid.
10:00We really appreciate your information.
10:04The next caller is Owner Papa.
10:13Miss Carolyn Hughes, you're up next.
10:24Hughes, if you're speaking, we cannot hear you.
10:27You have been made a panelist.
10:29You just have to unmute yourself.
10:38Hughes, I think we have about a few more callers, so we'll add you to the bottom of the queue.
10:44Um, but we will be calling on you shortly.
10:46Who do we have next?
10:57Greetings, everyone.
10:59Um, I had some flowers made.
11:00Uh, Megan Owens of TRU donated some money towards flowers for Stephen Halloween.
11:07Uh, he had to be corrected a few times, uh, public comment.
11:11He was not always the kindness, but he was a transit advocate, and when you told him there was a problem, he tried to fix it.
11:21He died in Florida in a car accident.
11:24Oh, so I got flowers on behalf of Transit Riders United and Brother Cunningham.
11:29So pray for that family.
11:32Also, in regards to all the things going on with D dot.
11:38Corey Holmes needs to be rehired.
11:41Corey Holmes needs to be rehired.
11:46And I'm praying for the director.
11:51We have a great rapport and the windows uh or the um just a phone call away if there's any issues or problems, and that's why I keep Cramer in my prayers daily.
12:04Holmes needs to be made whole, and some issues with D dot, or I think that it should be borderless pair of transit.
12:15All people should have free um fare, it should be free fare just like they do on the people mover and the queue line.
12:21They have sponsorship, and I believe it every single person should not pay fair on D dot.
12:28Thank you so much, everybody.
12:33The next caller is caller ending in 482.
12:41Caller ending in 482.
12:50Yeah, hey Gabriella, I'm here now.
13:00That's just I'm gonna just flat out say what it is.
13:15And uh Rockel Lopez that she's you in the office.
13:27I'm a resident over in District 6.
13:30I don't think you really knew or understood.
13:34And uh um Latino community, Mexican community over in uh district six.
13:44I got friends who got friends who got friends, and I know a lot about you now.
13:50Um I'm a resident in every single district in the city of Detroit.
13:55Y'all didn't know that.
13:57And I'm also young blood from the Brewster Project of 1980.
14:02Told y'all that also told y'all I was real.
14:06Uh Nini won't what she won't.
14:09You uh stood in the way, maybe live.
14:14Dennis been cheating in the election for 15 years.
14:19But I can only prove since 2020, and Donald Trump got their story.
14:28The last caller is returning to owner papa.
14:32We'll check and correct Miss Hughes.
14:37If you can hear us, you're up, you're up next.
14:46Hughes, I'm sorry, but we cannot hear you if you're speaking.
14:50And I do have to move us along now to the rest of the agenda given the short time.
14:55But Miss Hughes, I welcome you to a call in for public comments today.
15:00We will have a morning session for budget and an afternoon session, but I will have to move us along.
15:06We'll hear from you soon.
15:07Hope you have a good morning.
15:09Given that being our last caller, I will move us along to the rest of the agenda.
15:16Under unfinished business, 5.1.
15:23This is the memo that Mr.
15:26Davis mentioned regarding water, uh, the water departments and how we plan for citywide flooding.
15:33Is there a motion to discuss?
15:39Thank you, Vice Chair.
15:40I just want to share briefly, um, and I've shared this before.
15:44I I it does seem like the city knows what needs to be done.
15:48We need to replace our old infrastructure.
15:51Um, and until we have the money from the state, federal government or the city, um, it's just gonna be done in phases.
15:59Um this uh memo also mentioned the water department's uh focus on maintaining our our catch basins, the infrastructure.
16:11Um but as I'm riding around the city and I'm seeing a lot of flooding happening in our neighborhoods, I'm seeing a lot of trash, a lot of debris, a lot of leaves that are being picked up by the water departments.
16:21And I think just like with everything else in your home, if you maintain it, if you prevent something from happening, it prevents something from breaking.
16:28Um, which is why I'm asking around vacuums or preventative measures to keep debris from our cash basins and and and pipes as well.
16:38Um just wanted to share what was shared with us, what their plans are, um, and just as we're thinking about our work, as we're thinking about our neighborhoods and our homes, that we do our part two and clean our leaves, put those away, put them in compost do something.
16:54Um, but this is really gonna take all of us, not just the city maintaining our our our infrastructure.
17:01Um that's just a side note that I wanted to share there.
17:05Um, but we did receive the responses to this.
17:08And if there's nothing else to be shared, Vice Chair.
17:11Well, Chair, uh thank you.
17:13I also want to echo the preventative side.
17:16You know, there's um it was a resident that called our office back in well when I was campaigning, had issues with the catch basement being cleaned.
17:28Uh and then just last weekend called our office again because it was about flooding um in our area.
17:34So definitely uh want to echo the need of that preventative side because I believe it would prevent a lot of the flood and that we are seeing, as you mentioned.
17:42Um and I also residents asked about the vacuum um truck as well, as they see other communities of just having the leaves out and then the truck comes and cleans them up.
17:54So appreciate you asking about that to the water department.
17:57I think we can also ask that to DPW as well when they are before.
18:02Thank you, Vice Chair.
18:03Yes, that is the plan to see if we can do that.
18:07Um, but I I deeply understand the responsibility on the city to do our job.
18:12And as I sit here realizing how much we have to do, it's a collective effort, I believe.
18:17Um so I think it's also a change of culture and responsibility.
18:20Um, but I'm here for it.
18:21Uh with that, if there's nothing else, uh we will continue this conversation, but we can receive and file without objection.
18:285.1 can be received and filed.
18:33This is a memo relative to request for information on commercial buildings with liens and fines on a demolition list.
18:39We've been asked to bring this back in one week.
18:42Hearing no objections, 5.2 will be brought back in one week.
18:47Under new business, uh, the chief, excuse me, under new business under the Office of Contracting and Procurements.
18:55This is contract number 6007651, utilizing 100% uh opioid settlements funding.
19:03This is to provide administration of the RX Kids program.
19:07The contractor is Michigan State University.
19:10They are located in Lansing.
19:12This will be for one million five hundred thousand, and this will go to the health departments.
19:17I if there's a motion to discuss, motion.
19:20We are joined here by Luke Schaefer.
19:23Thank you so much, Doc, for joining us.
19:25We um I'm curious to uh just hear how we decided to use the opioid funding for this.
19:31Um what this will do.
19:34I know that's the RX funding will come a little bit from the city grants.
19:39Just wondering what's gonna fund RX kids.
19:42And if you wouldn't mind if the microphone is on, I can't tell.
19:46If it's green, it's on whenever you're ready.
19:48Uh to the chair, uh, wonderful to be with you.
19:52Uh, as you said, our skids is funded uh through a combination of state funding, uh, about um 30 some million uh philanthropy uh and from the city.
20:02Uh the money goes both to um administration of the program, uh, and but uh the large majority of the funds goes to the cash transfers to uh pregnant families and um families with infants, pregnant women and families with infants.
20:18Um the uh opioid dollars uh were chosen uh to use to enable the city to contribute both to uh the cash transfers that go directly to families uh and administration because of the limits on uh general fund.
20:33Uh and there's a great deal of evidence that uh cash transfers, especially during um uh periods with uh um major health challenges, including pregnancy and childbirth, uh can have positive uh impacts in improving outcomes in terms of um things like postpartum depression, as we've seen in our kids, um, and reduce the risk of uh of drug use.
20:56And so that is why uh those are the reasons why the opioid dollars were chosen.
21:03Are there any other questions, Vice Chair?
21:06Thank you, Madam Chair, and good morning.
21:08Um I just wanted to, if you could just share for folks that are listening some of the uh results that you all have seen from our excuse.
21:18Because I just want folks to um know about the immediate impact and the long-term impact that you may have seen so far.
21:25Uh through the chair, thank you, uh, council member McCampbell.
21:28Uh I'm very happy to always talk about uh the findings.
21:31So Arx Kids is a program uh for every pregnant Detroiter in the city uh in mid-pregnancy, $1,500 and then $500 a month for the first uh six months after birth.
21:43Um it is there's no income limits.
21:46It's for everyone who lives in the city who fit those criteria.
21:49It's now a program that uh is in is uh operating in over 35 communities and started in Flint, Michigan, uh, but in Pontiac, Kalamazoo, the entire Upper Peninsula, um, a number of rural communities uh also in the upper mitten and now Detroit.
22:09Uh we have published research now that shows uh that these uh unconditional cash prescriptions uh in Flint have increased uh prenatal care quite sizably.
22:19Um pregnant uh women are entering into prenatal care earlier.
22:26Um they're less likely to not go at all, they're more likely to go to at least one, and they're going to more appointments.
22:32Uh we have uh new research uh showing an improvement in uh birth weight as well as a reduction in preterm birth and a reduction in NICU admissions.
22:42Um all of this is both flowing through increased prenatal care uh as well as reduced stress uh related to having more money during pregnancy.
22:53Um and then uh after birth, we're seeing uh increases, I'm sorry, reductions in eviction, so increases in housing stability and reductions in postpartum depression.
23:04Another uh secondary effect of RX Kids uh an independent group of uh labor economists uh have produced a report um finding that uh for every dollar in RX Kids that has gone into Flint uh is generated um one to three more dollars throughout the uh Flint community um in a hundred to two hundred jobs uh as uh as moms tend to spend the money uh directly uh in the communities where they live, buying diapers, paying the rent, uh, and that generates increased economic activity.
23:41I and I know um I want to make clear, as you said, the published research and independent um economists that that is uh tried and true information that uh goes under a lot of stringent standards.
23:56So I just want folks to know that um these uh these are folks that are looking into this program, and as we get, I'm sure as we get more folks and more time in Detroit, we'll have Detroit funders as well.
24:06So just wanted I just want to thank you so much uh for um letting us know about that and uh again, you know, programs like RS Kids is um I believe essential for our folks here in Detroit and and across the state of Michigan, as you mentioned, and really helps improve the conditions of folks, both health and um economics.
24:28So thank you so much.
24:29Thank you, madam chair.
24:32I too am really excited about this program.
24:36My only question is sustainability of the program.
24:40Do you have any sense how long the administration plans to do this?
24:45Um my hope would be that as long as possible, but is there an end date to the program?
24:51Do you think, or are we hoping to administer this moving forward?
25:00Uh the current funding at the state level, which is the biggest part of the funding uh will pay for the program for uh three full years.
25:08So we're just starting that, so we're looking at three years uh right now.
25:13Um the philanthropy is uh almost the the part philanthropy has to pay is almost to the three-year mark as well.
25:20Uh so it is uh I'm quite certain will be sustained for that period.
25:24Uh but one of the very exciting things about the program is uh the uh incredible uh wide base support uh that it's received with uh being something that's very popular among both families as well as uh legislators in rural parts of Michigan as well as cities, um Governor Whitmer as voice support um and uh many many uh uh state lawmakers uh across the aisle.
25:50Uh and so while there's three years of funding uh committed right now, uh I I feel that the um my analysis is that the uh program is in a good position to continue uh well after that.
26:06Seeing no other questions, um is there a motion to approve 6.1 motion to approve.
26:14There's been a motion to approve.
26:15There's been a request for new business if there's a motion, motion to send to new business hearing no objections, six point one will be approved, sent to new business with the recommendation to approve.
26:28Moving us along to six point two.
26:32You want to add a marking is a lot of the numbers, six point two parking or trucks in their neighborhood, six point three six point four and six point five are all health department contracts.

33:11Motion with discussion.
33:15Um, this uh ordinance is sponsored by me, uh, Madam Chair, and the purpose evidence of that renters are treated more fairly by landlords.

33:40We're trying this ordinance, the purpose of this ordinance is to help reduce um uh some of those uh those fees.
33:49Thank you, member waters for doing this work.
33:51I saw a hand from LP Dean.
33:53Thank you, madam chair.
33:54It's our request or our understanding of that this time rather than setting the public hearing at this point.
33:59We'd like to request that it be referred to law for approval as to form.
34:05Well usual, it's a usual step in the way these things go when LPD does the drafting.
34:10So member waters, I think.
34:12Then is there a motion to refer this to law for review?
34:16Yes, I assume they reviewed it, but okay.
34:22All right, so there's a motion to refer 6.9 to the law departments for review, and this will be to approve to form hearing no objections, 6.9 will be referred to the law departments, and then we will once it's been approved and reviewed.
34:38We can move it to the process member.
34:41So that has been referred again.

34:52This is a reports regarding ordinance updates and enforcements on the health care facilities, the fugitive dust, and the citywide language access policy.
35:06Uh is there's a motion to discuss.
35:11I just I did want to share this report came from our office.
35:15We wanted to hear how enforcement was going with our ordinances.
35:20Um received the responses.
35:23Uh, the only concerns I have is is the responses we received.
35:28Um, so we had a number of calls and emails regarding the health care facilities ordinance not being enforced properly by DPD.
35:37And in DPD's report, they mentioned no issues uh with the ordinance at all.
35:42So there is obviously a disconnect, which is just a little concerning when we're asking for data and information to tell us accurate information, and if it's wrong, that is a problem.
35:53So I know that departments listen in.
35:55It's gonna be really important.
35:57Um, if we can make sure that if if issues come up with our ordinances that we know about it, so we can discuss.
36:03Um, but that was one concern because we do know we've had issues there.
36:09Uh, regarding the fugitive dust ordinance that is being enforced, some tickets were given out.
36:14I know that we have a lot of uh concerns from residents making sure that we are enforcing that.
36:19It does seem that that is being enforced.
36:21If you have any concerns there, do reach out.
36:23Um, and I know the language access ordinance, we are working through that together.
36:28Very grateful for CREO um, making sure that uh we do a better job in enforcing that.
36:34Um, but I do know that we are working towards um uh enhancing those processes for us as well.
36:42Uh so grateful for the feedback.
36:45We should do some more work on how they collect our information, um, but we'll keep working on this.
36:49Since we received the information without objection, we can receive and file six points ten.
36:56Six point ten can be received and filed.
