2:32Crowley, you have two minutes for general public comment.
2:44Letitia, I gotta take a different approach because y'all have been playing with me.
2:48Y'all tried to uh that chief probate judge pretty burden tried to niggle me.
2:55And then I got the cuffs put on me ten times over at the 11th precinct.
3:01Nine times to the DC Detroit detention center, one time to the Samaritan Behavior Center at 5555, where I was in there for 13 old days before I got up out of that chicarney ice tea with some nut cases.
3:18Now, you cheated in you can't say, and you won't say I'm a liar.
3:24So if I'm not lying, what am I doing?
3:34You can't say I'm lying.
3:38You say all this stuff about you don't like or don't believe Aston T Ballet Fraud is real, it's real in Detroit.
3:45And Gabriela Santiago Romero, you're a liar.
3:48You did not read that finding.
3:51Findings are allegations of voter fraud.
3:54Final Miss City on no March the 9th.
4:04I called your office on the 20th.

4:08And you won't say nothing either.
4:10You won't call me no liar.
4:12So if I'm not a lie, what am I doing?
4:16I'm telling the truth.
4:18And Dana's been cheating in Alexis for a long, long, long, long, long time.
4:24Oh, y'all cheated in.
4:25Now it's time for y'all to go.
4:27Nini won't what she won't.
4:28Y'all didn't take the tag off.
4:30I'm gonna do exactly what I said.
4:33And I gave the information to number 47, Donald Trump.
4:37Now I need him to come in here and get all y'all together.
4:40And Comrade Mallett can smoke D.
4:46The first virtual caller.
4:50Her first virtual caller is William M.
4:53Davis, you have two minutes for general public comment.
5:00And please note that public comment has been cut off.
5:04Good morning, young people.
5:07Okay, I'd like to start off by saying a couple of things.
5:10I think the Detroit land should be downsized.
5:16I think the land bank should start having to reimburse the city of Detroit for Detroit expenses like cutting their grass and what have you.
5:25I I think the land bank should be traditioning so that like over a four-year period that they reimburse the city for 25% first year, 50% the next year, 75% the third year, and well and 100% reimbursement for the fourth year.
5:45I think that would motivate them to move that property a whole lot quicker.
5:50Also, I think the city church should have at least two appointees on the land bank uh board.
5:57And also I think it's horrible that the land bank do nuisance abatements when you drive around the city.
6:04A lot of the properties that look like they need attention are land bank properties.
6:10You know, so it's horrible that they could uh tell people that they have to get out the house or they have to move, they have to do this, they have to do that, and they don't do that for the properties that they control.
6:22Also, I don't know if they do receive any money from when uh fines are generated, but if if there's any money generated for loosen abatement, that should be going to the general fund, not to the land bank.
6:35Um, hopefully we could start working on more economic programs and projects in the city of Detroit that are started and controlled by people who live in the city of Detroit.
6:47We need to cut down on so many of our dollars leaving the city.
6:51So hopefully y'all will have a great day and encourage more people to vote.
7:05Vernon, you have two minutes for general public comment.
7:09Uh good morning to all within the sound of my voice.
7:13Verner, president of DeSoda Elsewhere Black Association.
7:17Uh wanted to talk this morning about our health fair event, our free help fare event that's going to be April 18th from 10 a.m.

8:15Uh everything is free.
8:17All services are free for children and adults.

9:17Our next caller is owner Papa.
9:19Owner Papa, you have two minutes for general public comment.
9:32Good morning, owner Papa.
9:43Let's come back to owner Papa.
9:45Who's the next caller?
9:48Our next caller is caller ending in 124.
9:51Caller ending in 124.
9:52You have two minutes for general public comment.
10:04Good morning, may I be heard?
10:10Well, um, some of you, if you been paying attention, known as been uh very disappointed in the lack leictor master plan update process.
10:22Uh due to say tragic event.
10:26I was able to go to the meeting last night that was supposed to be district five specific.
10:33Uh the room had bad acoustics.
10:36Um there were people at several tables that were getting upset going, I don't want to plan other people's neighborhood.
10:43I want to plan my neighborhood.
10:45That happened at multiple tables.
10:48And so uh then uh the district manager tried to say I've been at these meetings.
10:56I said, really, who said that?
10:57I said I've been to two meetings.
10:59I said I went to one meeting where they were sitting on the side and said, right on a block of what a word you'd like to describe your trade.
11:06I said, where's the education about what the current master plan is so that people can understand this better and then educate it?
11:16So I I mean, I don't know how much money you're paying on can for we are paying for consultants.
11:22This is being a lost opportunity to educate people better about the master plan and and it's they've got to find a better way to meet with residents in their neighborhoods, and I also see there seems to be like a major change to what happened for the north end after the north end planning study.
11:42So why is this being changed?
11:44And then when I talked with the district five manager about the uh master plan advisory group, so excuse me, it's either him or one of the planners, and I pointed out that I had reached out to just about all the people that were in District Five, and only one person contacted me back, but not and he's like, Oh, would you like help with something?
12:06I said, No, what I'd like is some more inclusion in the master plan.
12:18Our next caller is Cranstana Gina Brown Anderson.
12:22Fran Stana Gina Brown Anderson, you have two minutes for general public comment.
12:28Good morning, may I be heard?
12:31Yes, my name is Cranston Anderson.
12:34I'm uh um member um in D3 resident, and I am a block club association president, and for over 20 years, I have been participating in cleanups in my neighborhood and around D3.
12:47The issues that we have now is some of the homeowners who've been taking care of the lots next to their property, um, trying to prevent illegal dumping, are now receiving um cease and assist letters to remove anything that they put there to protect the property or the lot from um illegal dumping and we're in the process of trying to help those owners apply and make sure that they go through the process with Detroit Land Bank, but it seems to be a very slow process, but um with the adverse uh possession when these people have taken care of these lots for over 15, 20 years, and then Detroit Land Bank is coming through trying to take these properties.
13:32How are you gonna assist those residents who have actively been engaged in keeping their community clean in Detroit?
13:40And also I have issues where we have called out police about cars being parked in alleys.
13:45We clean these alleys in our neighborhood over in the Gardigia community.
13:50We keep them clean, we um utilize some of the people in our own neighborhood and try to give them some type of stifing to help us, but now we're having problem where the city of Detroit police department is just allowing cars to be stabilized inside the alley saying that they're homeless or the hot cars look like they're full of food and clothes, and that doesn't matter to us.
14:12We we understand we have a homeless issue in Detroit, but we need some type of enforcement as far as people being in our alleys camping out for um shelter.
14:22That's that's not an appropriate um place for us to have to be dealing with people in the back of our homes.
14:28So I'm really hoping that you guys can come up with something to really help us out and not thank you.
14:39Our next caller is resident.
14:42Resident, you have two minutes for general public comments.
14:56You have two minutes for general public comment.

16:00Can never get it back.

17:06Detroit Department of Transportation bus ride along.
17:11Anyone running for a candidate or a block club president or whatever you do?
17:17I would like to do a bus ride along with you again or a new ride along.
17:32We are going back to owner Papa.
17:36Owner Papa, you have two minutes for general public comment.
17:41Uh good morning, and through the chair, may I be heard?
17:44Um, I'm I'm looking at 6.2, and it says supportive services for households experiencing homelessness.
17:52That sounds a little ridiculous.
17:53And it's five million dollars, five and a half, actually.
17:56I see all these, and then then a hundred percent opioid settlement funding.
18:05Why would it be going over to Chass?
18:07Why would three million dollars be going over to Chaz for uh low barrier access health care and medication for for individuals experiencing homelessness?
18:17You guys are getting a little ridiculous with the homelessness.
18:19You don't solve the homeless problem, but you have a lot of money, you're throwing at it, but we don't see any resolution to the problem.
18:26The lady just called you and told you they're camping out behind her house.
18:30And I I really believe that when the cameras first were introduced to the city, it was to avoid dumping.
18:36But we seem to have the same dumping problem that we had when we started.
18:40That we we never resolve any of our issues.
18:43We just move on and then create other issues like the dirty dirt.
18:47We just move on and create all of these piles of the spare that that this council is sitting over.
18:536.6 is like several properties being sold to one individual called Voss Fond Key 3.
19:02They just came into existence registered in 2025, but they have all of these properties consistent uh, you know, properties.
19:10How did how did that happen?
19:11How did he how did all how does all of this stuff happen?
19:14Now we're spending millions of dollars on was it trees?
19:18Is this the one with the with the trees in it?
19:21Oh, APO, millions, millions, millions of dollars, and I don't see where we're resolving any of our issues.
19:28It's getting to the point where it's ridiculous, and if you heard the account of how the the city is being run, you guys are using our our our general fund dollars as if they are um your pocket change, you know, a million here, a million there.
19:43I'm a little sick and tired of what I heard yesterday.
19:53Our next caller is iPhone.
19:58You have two minutes for general.
20:01Um I I went to the meeting last night and uh actually announced that I'm running as a write-in for uh governor.
20:11So we I can run against uh so it doesn't I don't want to split the vote off, or we wind up with a Republican.
20:20However, there isn't a whole lot of difference sometimes between the two and uh mostly but uh I I'm having trouble with the city uh as far as the water department they don't keep their records uh of what uh like we we changed uh my water line years ago to two inch copper because we thought it was we didn't want lead coming in.
20:49That was about 2010 or something when somebody broke the line coming in.
20:53I said, let's just change it.
20:56Well, uh, they don't have records because that was too long ago that that we went into their water main or where we went into it or nothing.
21:05And uh that's really four.
21:09Then they couldn't find any records of where they went back in because it was leaking.
21:16And we never got to disconnect.
21:18Disconnected, but also I think that the original connection wasn't made right with the two inch to the water service, so that they don't seem to have a record of what they did.
21:31But the city actually went back in and did.
21:34And uh so I I think that the record keeping that is one place.
21:39Maybe you need some AI if you can't do it with people uh to figure out how to locate your infrastructure so that you can be more efficient and also not have water underground destroying things like my building.
21:54It looks like it's really hurting from the water.
21:57I'm trying to solve the problems, but I need the city's help, not their uh thank you, and I believe that now concludes general public comment.
22:10Madam Chair, we have one additional caller.
22:12Our last caller is resident.
22:15You have two minutes for general public comment.
22:26I already spoke, thank you.
22:29All right, that now concludes our general public comment.
22:34And I do just want to share with Ms.
22:37Cranston Gina Anderson.
22:39Um, I'd like to encourage you to reach out to the Department of Neighborhoods to um share with the respective department the concerns that you have in regards to um the alley and uh any other concerns that you have.
22:55Please feel free to reach out to the Department of Neighborhoods.
22:59Colleagues, any additional responses?
23:03Council President Pro Tempere Young.
23:06First of all, let me say thank you so much for that, donut.
23:09That was absolutely amazing.
23:10I ate that very quickly, so thank you.
23:12Uh secondly, I just want to say I would also encourage you to be able to call uh housing services as well, so that the so that the people who are homeless that are in the alley could potentially be able to find some housing.
23:24I think they've been very good and very quick in terms of services that they provide when I'll call Jazz Z Neblet and uh Julie Schneider and all those folks, so I think that also might be helpful as well.
23:34Thank you, Madam Chair.
23:37And I'd like to provide the phone number for the district manager, the district three manager, Kayana Sesams.

27:39Beginning with line item 6.1.
27:43Line item 6.1 is contract number 600 760.
27:50This is a no-cost agreement to provide continued hosting and maintenance for Detroit Home Connect.
27:56Affordable housing portal.
27:58Contractor is citywise software.
28:01Contra period upon city council approval for three years.
28:08There, this is a zero dollar.
28:13Is there a motion to approve or discuss?
28:23Thank you, madam chair.
28:25Thanks for putting that pro temper on there.
28:28So who this may concern in the administration?
28:32How can we provide this very necessary service and there's no cost agreement to it?
28:42We have several folks that were slated to join us for line item 6.1.
28:49Um, and I'm not sure which of them is the best person to respond to that.
28:56I see Miss Robinson on the screen.
28:58Please introduce yourself for the record.
29:03My name is Michelle Robinson.
29:05I'm the director of Detroit Housing Services.
29:08I'm here at the City of Detroit.
29:14And please introduce yourself for the record.
29:20My name is Steve Knutson.
29:22I'm a systems integration advisor with the housing revitalization department.
29:28Can either of you answer pro tempere's question?
29:35Yeah, the chair to pretend um citywise has had over jurisdictions that have been no cost.
29:47They're able to achieve this by having a separate market rate portal that's optional for property managers to use for a small fee.
30:00It only applies to property managers that are running uh buildings that have over 20 units.
30:09First part, did you say it again?
30:10He kind of broke up.
30:14Yeah, so the no cost portion is that all regulated affordable units are listed on Detroit Home Connect for no fee.
30:22They're able to provide it for no cost by providing an optional listing for market rate units for buildings that have over 20 units in the property for a small fee.
30:34So it's got over 20 years, they charge a small fee.
30:37Otherwise, all the stuff that's affordable housing is provided for free.
30:42And that's something that they're just offering.
30:46Out of the goodness of their heart, is there other business that they're doing with the city that allows them to be able to offer that for free?
30:55It's uh just the optional rate for those market rate units.
31:06Uh, thank you, mail chair.
31:08And and just to clarify, so there is no cost to the city to provide Detroit Home Connect for this particular contract.
31:19Um, I know sitting in PED last term, there was a cost for this particular contract.
31:27So can you just help to hash that out?
31:32The difference between the previous contract and this zero dollar contract.
31:41Yeah, through the chair.
31:43There is no cost for this contract.
31:46Um the prior contract, we were charging the the we were paying the previous contractor for full hosting maintenance and everything of the portal.
31:57The difference with this one is that the contractor city wise is able to offset those costs by collecting revenue through those market rate properties.
32:09Okay, so the units are smaller, there is no no cost to the property management company or what have you, but that means there's no cost to the city as well.
32:28Correct, no cost to the city.
32:31All right, thank you for clearing that up.
32:34Colleagues, any additional questions?
32:36If not, is there a motion?
32:40There's a motion to send line item 6.1 to formal with a recommendation to approve.
32:46Hearing no objections, that action shall be taken.
32:51Thank you both for joining us.
32:55Line item 6.2 is contract number 600 7787.
33:03100% grant funding to provide tenant-based rental assistance and supportive services for households experiencing homelessness at scattered site market rate units.
33:14Colleagues, there is a request from the administration to remove this item, noting that it will be resubmitted at a later date.
33:28There is a motion to remove line item 6.2 from the agenda.
33:33Hearing no objections, that action shall be taken.
33:39Moving on to line item 6.3, contract number 600 7789, 100% opioid settlement funding to provide low barrier access to health care and medications for opioid use disorder for individuals experiencing homelessness.

37:04The volume has been uh really low for a Zoom participants.
37:08I know my colleagues are dealing with the same issue, so I apologize if I'm moving back and forth.
37:12I'm trying to listen off of my speaker here.
37:15Are you saying our volume is low?
37:18Yeah, this the all the council wants, yes, madam chair.
37:21Okay, okay media services.

38:32The 24 vacant lots on Woodman Place equate to just over 80,000 square feet, about 1.9 acres.
38:39I know in speaking with even uh council members' office or council member Benson's office directly, and I'll obviously when you see the amount of uh the parcels, uh you know, kind of there it raises a bit of a flag uh in terms of the pricing.
38:52Um the pricing at 146,000 dollars was based on the full broker's opinion value with our uh city uh brokers with summit commercial uh on key three LLC, also known as Michigan Box Company, uh did accept that offer, so we are getting full uh pricing.
39:10Um they are the adjacent business owner that have been operating there for decades.
39:14This would be utilized to expand uh their operations.
39:18And if the uh individuals representing the company, if you can tell us what you currently do and how you are planning to utilize the vacant land.
39:28Uh we're currently a sheet plant that makes uh coordinated packaging.
39:33We use that lot for temporary truck uh exposure and short-term parking.
39:42So you're expecting to use it for parking for parking, temporary parking, future expansion possibilities.
39:54Okay, and and can you repeat again what the company does?

43:17Um not sure of the manner in which it's it's uh addressed to go through to the council presidents to the treasurer.
43:28It may be better just to have a letter from council member waters to the treasurer asking the treasurer if they can uh provide information as opposed to kind of an assignment giving from the council uh to the Wayne County Treasurer.
