This is Ben D A Barner, president of the Soda Elsewhere Black Association.

Here to talk about my Fink Accorder.

We are still in need of monies.

We do have a businesses.

We have a business that has opened up on our Fink Accorder.

And we have a husband and wife team that is opening up and working on a building that has been closed for over 30 years.

And their plan is to have a home care agency right there on Finco and Monica.

Also, there is a brother team that is in the process of they want to open up a mini market with I think it's six gas pumps right there on Wyoming and Finco where the uh McDonald's was located.

We are a food desert.

We are in need in this uh of this uh mini market.

Uh they have been supportive of my black club and they're working with the uh Finkel Business Association.

So I'm hoping when they get to uh the council that the council will be supportive of this uh well, their name is the Dabishes Dabitch, and they are very very supportive, and I'm excited about them wanting to open up a business in our community because they could have gone anywhere to spent their money.

So I'm hoping when they get to uh the council that the council will be supportive of this uh what their name is the dabishes that bitch and they are very very supportive and I'm excited about them wanting to open up a business in our community because they could have went anywhere to spend their money, and so uh I'm happy about that, but we are still in need and support from the city and the council.

We need monies for our think of corridor uh to keep it cleaned up and to bring more development.

Thank you for this time.

God bless you all.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Who do we have next in the queue, Mr.

Bo?

Mr.

Chair, the next caller's owner papa.

All right, floor is yours, two minutes.

Um, good afternoon, and through the chair, may I be heard?

Yes, you may, two minutes.

Uh thank you.

Um Miss Miller's uh buttsol um recreation um uh memorandum on the agenda.

I don't know if it's going to be discussed today, but uh uh let me say that the um the fact that we own the Butzel Center as the city of Detroit, and we're not able to control the Butzel Center as the city of Detroit is concerning to me.

If the government is pulling against the residents, um where we're in serious trouble.

Um I'm not sure why this is in your committee, and you don't have the dirty dirt holes that are all over the neighborhoods, which should be of great concern to you, and you're being uh on this this memorandum about a development that should be with another council members uh department if there needs to be a serious conversation around this issue, be and and uh 6.1 is troubling or confusing to me.

Subdual, subdual, updutal, uh hold the soul food and RB festival.

Uh I don't know what's happening in the city, but we're losing control, any control, and as the gentleman mentioned today, we are a predominantly black city.

But it seems as though we are incapable of doing our jobs, especially when we hear from McDaniel say that we have to have a law in order to hire our people is the reason why we have the numbers we have.

I think we have the numbers that we have because we have people that are over us who really have an inferiority complex.

They feel like they can't do, so they have to go go to other people to do.

We need a mindset change, and it needs to occur really fast.

Thank you.

All right, thank you.

Who do we have next in the queue, Mr.

Bo?

Mr.

Chair, the next caller is legendary Detroiter.

All right, legendary Detroiter, floor is yours.

Two minutes.

What's up, Coleman?

Now I got several devices logged into this for one particular reason.

It's turn up time in the city of Detroit, the city I love.

It's turn up time.

Okay.

Demonstrated and proved it.

There are no gun stabilies on the entry wound, throwing through a wound, no bullet fragment recovered at the scene, aggravated assault complaint, followed by detect detective Dudric Mott of the 8th precinct, buried by the homicide division.

Rebecca McKay, commander of the homicide division says she has evidence.

She said it to me at the Board of Police Commissioners meeting in the hallway.

She ain't got no evidence because Kenisha did not commit suicide.

It's a false a double dollar sign, bogus a double dollar sign tag placed upon her by Jeffrey Hudson, Sisting Wayne County Medical Examiner, lead investigator, Marco Brasad, former captain of the homicide unit, Derek May.

And I ain't lying about sugar honey ice tea.

They has to plot to do a cover up, and it turned into a cover up of a cover up of a cover up of an attempted cover up.

Oh, I missed the other cover-up part that was in there.

But they busted.

Take the tag above Nini's mama.

That's what she won't.

That's what she asked for and requested on February the 12th, 2021.

It's now 2026.

And I miss the rule.

Six fire rule, seven mile rule, and it's turn up time.

CF5 coming.

530.

All right.

Thank you.

Who do we have next in the queue?

Mr.

Cher, the next caller isn't resident.

All right, resident.

Floor is yours.

Two minutes, resident.

Yes, good afternoon, man.

Be hurry.

Yes, you may.

Two minutes.

Well, in case uh you haven't read the Detroit City Charter, and I know some staff haven't.

Please ask your staff to read the charter.

And I'm tired of the perverse interpretations of the charter by Conrad Mallet.

This whole thing about building an apartment building on the Butzel family parking lot in a city that has acres and acres and acres of vacant land is just absolutely obscene.

It's a violation of the charter.

We have uh a right to expect aggressive action, not to encroach or dismantle our assets.

Aggressive actions means due diligence, and also that due diligence was lacking in the solar farm.

No alternative study, putting people through the misery of eminent domain when the city was too lazy and or corrupt to come up with an alternative plan, like uh the putting solar panels on parking lots or former industrial sites, but oh no, and why is the city cutting down trees on a parcel of land it all it does not have legal title to yet?

That's a problem, and uh at Mr.

Bet well anyway.

So again, the nuisance abatement program is illegal, Coleman.

I don't know if you have anybody that like knows how to read legal documents on your staff, but you're specifically prohibited.

No, you're not the one that signed off on this.

That was Gabe Leland and the council from 2014.

The problem is they didn't have the legal authority to allow them to do this.

It's specifically prohibited in the Michigan Fast Track Land Bank Authority Act.

It's specifically prohibited in the intergovernmental agreement signed by Kevin Orr in 2013 that you're still functioning under.

The longer you let this go on, the greater the liability for the rest of us and the absolute negligence of people who will not listen to the member waters who was in the legislature when they pass this law, but you keep on doing it and making people miserable, stealing people's property.

All right, thank you for that.

We appreciate it.

Who here next in the queue?

Mr.

Chair, next caller is cutting him.

All right, cutting him.

Floor is yours.

Two minutes, cutting him.

Excuse the background noise.

Can you hear me?

Yes, true it is.

Yes, sir.

Hello everybody.

What up, though?

Um 313 444, 9114.

313 is 44494.

313 4449114.

That number was made, so you can remember it.

I am really perturbed about clergy and my fellow Christians being so stoic and about those that are you know uh low income or uh or trying to rise up to a higher level of an employment and income.

All right, also a couple ministers told me uh they seen me give out bus tickets at the meetings, and they said that if they found their way there, they'll find their way back, just so stoic, also the scripture being used.

Um the poor would always be among us, so there's no sense of urgency to assist folks trying to rise up to a higher level, uh higher social economic level, just so stoic, they're all about bins as Hummers, money, and stuff for themselves.

Uh and these are folks of the claw.

These are these are folks that are are are my fellow believers.

Uh D dot is not on time, it's not clean, uh, it needs to improve.

Uh, and I hear this all the time in my outreach vehicle.

Uh, when they hop in complaints about it not being on time.

If anyone under the sign of my voice wants to donate and assist cash up, that's 313 4449114.

I need bus tickets, and if you want to do a bus ride along 313 444 911.

All right, thank you, Ms.

Cunningham.

We appreciate you and what you do.

Who is next in the queue, Mr.

Bo?

Mr.

It's Nini's friend.

I think Nini's friend already spoke.

Oh, but we we're gonna see anyway.

Nini's friend.

Nini's friend.

Yeah.

All right, you already spoke.

We love you.

All right, bruh.

All right.
