Discussion/Action: RESOLUTION – Community Funding; Friends of Ingham Park Mr. Shinevar spoke about the improvements at Ingham Park and a new amenity for disc golf that the City did not have. The group is looking for funding for a portion of the cost to get cement tee pads at the course and continue the participation of growth at the park. DRAFT Council Member Jackson asked Mr. Shinevar he benefit of the purchase, and was informed that currently the tee pads are in natural areas, so this will create a solid surface and create an improved appearance. Council Member Wood asked who would be performing the work and was told by Mr. Shinevar it would be contracted through the Parks Department, therefore the request would be to defray the cost to the Parks Department. Mr. Pena asked Friends of Ingham Park look at adding bike parking facilities to the park. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE COMMUNITY FUNDING REQUEST FOR FRIENDS OF INGHAM PARK. MOTION CARRIED 3-0. Council Member Wood encouraged Mr. Pena to speak to the Parks Director about his request. Ms. Appling spoke in opposition to the request, stating her opinion that tax dollars should not be spent on County Parks that Eaton County residents have to pay more for. Council Member Washington explained to Ms. Appling the park was named “Ingham” however, it is a City park in the Pleasant Grove area. Ms. Appling then stated there is a law that states bike parking has to be provided, and Mr. Pena was asked if there is parking in the park, and he confirmed there currently is parking at Ingham Park, however he wanted more. RESOLUTION – Appointment of Jeffrey A. Brown; HRCS Board; At Large Member; Term to Expire June 30, 2023 Mr. Brown briefly outlined his time as a resident in Lansing, 20 years of community services, working with Lansing special populations and his desire to make a further impact on the Community by serving on the Board. Council Member Washington referenced the application, noting this board was not his first choice, and Mr. Brown admitted he was willing to serve wherever he is needed. Council Member Wood asked Mr. Brown his intentions on reaching out and getting input from the community. Mr. Brown admitted he was already engaged in the community and is open to listen to the residents. Council Member Washington encouraged to attend the neighborhood meetings, and asked what consideration of approach he would have. Mr. Brown stated this Board appointment would give him an opportunity to serve and attend meetings and network. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF JEFFREY A BROWN TO THE HRCS BOARD WITH A TERM TO EXPIRE JUNE 03, 2023. MOTION CARRIED 3-0. RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal # 1740; Lewis Hanft; 214 Lathrop; $3,140.00 Council Member Washington noted that the item was referred back from Council and then tabled at the last meeting so the Committee could hear from BWL on if they did cut the tree, or could provide any additional information. Council Office Manager Ms. Boak referred the Committee to the packet, which included an email exchange from BWL. Council Member Wood noted for the record that the email stated BWL had not been in the area for 2-3 years, but there was a possibility that BWL did trim the tree since the claim was from 2018. Ms. Meade stated Scott Sanford informed her that when BWL cuts they send out notices and only remove the tops. Mr. Lewis noted that the tenant confirmed for him that BWL was on the street and she asked them to look at the tree and trim it and place the logs in the vacant lot next door. DRAFT MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD GRANT THE CLAIM IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,570.00 AND DENY THE BALANCE OF $1,570 FOR 214 LATHROP. Council Member Wood noted that when there is a tree this size it should not be expected that the homeowner could remove it. The Council will discuss this with BWL at their future joint meetings. MOTION CARRIED 2-0. Mr. Hanft asked how to find out about the City vendors on removal. Council Members encouraged him to check the website for the link to MITN and also provided him with the name of the City purchasing agent. It was also noted that Council was told the last time it went out to bid, there was only one bidder. RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal #1720; Ruben Montes III; 510 N Hayford Ave; $518.00 Ms. Meade noted to the Committee that the property was cited three times in 2019 for the same thing, notices were received and the photos reflected the dumpsters with trash on top, which only needed to be taken to the curb to not be cited. Mr. Hagen acknowledged that the tenant did not have his trash set up for pick up for the first 3 months of the lease and someone else was taking care of the trash for him. Mr. Hagen appealed what he thought was an excessive amount for two curb carts. He did note that he understood there was a history, but they have addressed it and there have not been any violations since. Council Member Washington pointed out that $265 of the $518 was City Administrative fees and Ms. Meade added that the contractor has a minimum charge of $175. Mr. Hagen asked if the curb carts did not have trash on top of the lids, if it would have been a violation, and Ms. Meade stated it would not have been a violation. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO DENY THE CLAIM FOR 510 N HAYFORD FOR $518.00. Council Member Wood encouraged Mr. Hagen to contact Code Compliance to obtain copies of the City Ordinances for their rentals. MOTION CARRIED 2-0. Ms. Meade supported the fines and invoices charged by the trash contractor, but spoke in opposition to the amounts charged for tree and brush removal. Council Member Washington noted her experience with claims Council has seen, all the invoices are excessively high. Other: a.

Encounters Sound Advice For Effective Encounters A Greater Lansing Area Club (GLAC)/NANBPWC, Inc. Special Program Project Preliminary Information (Updated as of 11/1/19) Theme: “Let’s Talk About It! Community Conversation about S.A.F.E. Encounters with Law Enforcement” Objective: To Present a Community Forum Related to Community and Law Enforcement Interaction SAFE Encounters is one of The NANBPWC, Inc. special projects. In view of the rise in police shootings, it is essential that we help our young people learn how to respond when interacting with law enforcement officials. The ultimate, anticipated outcome is building or re-establishing good relationships between young minorities and law enforcement personnel and saving the lives of our youth and young adults. Another component of the forum is to address concerns about law enforcement interrogation as depicted in the mini-series, “When They See Us.” The youngsters were convicted based on racism, based on injustice, based on deceptive interrogation methods conducted by law enforcement, based on politics: somebody’s has to be charged and convicted, based on lies and cover-up, based on being imposed with fear, based on them and their parents not knowing their rights, based on and on and on. Date: Thursday, March 12, 2019 – 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Venue: Dwight Rich School of the Arts, 2600 Hampden Drive, Lansing, Michigan Target Audience: Parents, Male & Female Juveniles/Young Adults (ages 10 to 22) It is our goal to attract juvenile age male and female youngsters and their guardians. Promotion through all surrounding school systems (Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, Holt, Waverly) Proposed Collaborations: Turning Point, Boys and Girls Club, Black Lawyers Association, Lansing School District, East Lansing School District, Holt School District, Waverly School District, Okemos School District, fraternities and sororities, other youth-focused organizations. 1|Page Sound Advice for Effective Encounters A Greater Lansing Area Club (GLAC) Special Program Project Preliminary Information Page 2 Moderator/Facilitator: Attorney Ayanna D.

Jackson, Vice Chair Council Member Carol Wood, Member OTHERS PRESENT Sherrie Boak, Council Office Manager Lisa Hagen, Assistant City Attorney/Council Research Assistant Jim Smiertka, City Attorney Andy Kilpatrick, Public Service Director Christopher Stralkowski, Red Cedar Jason Hockestale, Red Cedar Michael Brown, Attorney for Red Cedar Heather Sumner, Deputy City Attorney Council Member Spadafore - arrived at 5:10 p.m. Minutes MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM SEPTEMBER 23, 2019 AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED 3-0. Public Comment on Agenda Items No comments at this time. Discussion/Action: RESOLUTION – Objection to Issuance of the SDM License for Rite Aid of Michigan, 1004 E. Michigan Avenue, Lansing MI 48912 Mr. Brown with Carl, Edwards and Brown, representing as the Rite Aid Counsel, stated his opinion that the Council had a misunderstanding of what was “agreed” to in previous years, and believes they store has the right to request the license for the Special Designated Merchant (SDM). To his knowledge, Mr. Brown stated Rite Aid does not have any written document that stated they would never apply for a SDM License. The belief is that when this location moved from Washington Square they did apply, but because of the opposition at the time they withdrew and only applied for the Special Designation Distributor (SDD) and in 1999 withdrew the application because of the concerns raised by the churches and the proximity to the schools. Council Member Washington noted for Mr. Brown that even though Eastern is no longer active there still other churches and day cares in the area. Council Member Wood acknowledged Mr. Brown for his recollection, and noted that she was present when the first license was applied for and to her recollection it was a verbal agreement because there were churches, schools, and neighborhoods that were all concerned at that location. At this time, it was brought to Council Members attention that there has been no discussion with those surrounding uses and they are still concerned with another alcohol establishment in that area of the City. In particular, Council Member Wood referenced an email from the East Side Neighborhood Association, and Council Member Washington added she has also heard from the Green Oaks Neighborhood verbally who were opposed. Council Member Jackson asked Mr. Brown if this was changing the status of the business or if they were just asking for what they did not pursue when Eastern was there. Mr. Brown clarified that they never did ask for the SDM License that request was withdrawn, but they do not have a SDD License either. Council Member Wood added to the conversation that the agreement at the time was a gentlemen’s agreement to not have “any alochol” at the time. Council Member Jackson then asked if there was going to be any neighborhood input. Council Member Washington clarified this does not required a public hearing, but a draft resolution to the State was in the packet for adoption. Mr. Brown was asked when the hearing at the State was set for, and stated that currently there is no date; the State was waiting on a response from the City based on the letter Council Member Washington sent in opposition. Council Member Wood recommended that Mr. Brown and Rite Aid hold a meeting with the community to see if they voice their same objections, before Council acts on this resolution. Mr. Brown agreed and Council Member Washington stated she would provide his contact information for Nancy Mahlow for a neighborhood meeting within the next couple weeks. Council Member Jackson suggested that Rite Aid representatives attend the meeting as well to provide an opinion of support for the license.
