MOTION CARRIED 2-0. Public Comment on Agenda Items No public comment at this time. Discussion/Action: RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal # 1761; M Hotwagner; 1608 Comfort Street; $440 Mr. Sanford informed the Committee that the property was cited on 10/28/2019 with compliance date of 11/4/2019 and submitted to the contractor on 11/7/2019. It was noted the items were in the City right of way between the sidewalk and curb, and proper notice was given. Ms. Sumner confirmed the Claims Review Committee did hear the claim, and denied the claim. The Committee believed notice was provided and all work billed for was completed. Ms. Hotwagner stated she initiated a call to code compliance because they received the bill, but believe they never got the notice. The Hotwagners appealed that they do reside there, admitted they had placed the items there for residents to take “free”, and when the items were gone, they  DRAFT assumed people did take them. Since they never got the notice, they did not realize it was Code Compliance that took them. Mr. Hotwagner referenced the photos for the Committee highlighting the items and the estimated cost for each one. There was a brief discussion on the United States post office mail delivery, and that same discussion that was held in Claims Review Committee. Council Member Garza referred the Committee to the photos in the packet and the date stamps which reflected 10 days notification, however on day 8 there was only one box left. This discussion lead into a discussion on the cost of the invoice from the contractor. Council Member Hussain provided the information that the contractor has a minimum fee of $175 and the City set Administrative fee is $265. The Hotwagners’ again appealed they never got the first notice and Ms. Sumner provided the legal rule that once it is mailed it is considered “in the mailbox” and in turn considered “delivered”. Mr. Sanford recommended waiving the Administrative Fee of $265 since it appears it was only one box, however since the contractor has already been paid, they cannot waive that minimum $175 fee. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GARZA TO GRANT THE CLAIM 1761 IN THE AMOUNT OF $265 AND DENY THE BALANCE OF $175.00 The Committee briefly discussed the option of door tags/hangers on violations but Mr. Sanford stated they have too much to do and not enough time to hang door tag notifications. Council Member Garza encouraged them to consider pre-generated door hangers with check box options and categories so the Officer could check the box for item and time frame. Mr. Hotwagner also encouraged the OCA to have better details in their Claims Review determination letters so the owner would know why something was denied or partially denied. MOTION CARRIED 2-0. RESOLUTION – Discharge/Reconsideration; Claim Appeal #1756; 1320 Vermont MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GARZA TO RECONSIDER THE ACTION FROM THE FEBRUARY 25 MEETING ON CLAIM 1756. MOTION CARRIED 2-0. Council Member Hussain recapped at the last meeting the Committee discussed the claim and the topic of Mr. Vincent not being the claimant for legal standing. He noted that at that meeting the OCA opinion was that since Mr. Vincent was the contractor during the project that caused the debris, then he became the buyer, he had been involved during the entire process. Council Member Hussain then referenced the transfer affidavit in the packet that was submitted at the last meeting by Mr. Vincent dated 12/31/2019 along with the Quit Claim that was filed 2/25/2020. Since the last meeting the documents were compared and the addresses provided by Mr. Vincent do not match. One of those addresses being Clare Street, which on google maps depicts a parking lot. Mr. Vincent stated he works with Mr. Simon Zany, and that is his address, and he might even sell this property to Mr. Zany in the future. The Committee reviewed the photos of the property and the sale documents, asking if these documents and new information from the last meeting changed the OCA opinion. Mr. Sanford appealed that the work was done in August, 2019, the Transfer Affidavit was filed in December, 2019 and therefore asked how it had standing. Ms. Hagen stated that the ownership changed while the claim was in process and going through the process, and therefore she did not believe the filing of the quit claim would change things. Mr. Sanford referred to the claim materials, noting the bill was sent to the original owners. Ms. Hagen again stated that the ownership changed before the  DRAFT claim was finalized. The OCA, she continued, is stating that in this specific situation and specific claim, it was not completely process, and since the ownership went to the contractor who was involved he had standing. Council Member Hussain voiced his concern that this would create a channel or loop holes for claims in the future because Council has been told in the past that the owner at the time of the incident was the only individual that had legal standing. Ms. Sumner stated she did not understand why Council would refuse to hear a claim and skip to litigation. Mr. Sanford added to the conversation that the new owner does not have standing with the City, they were not the owners during the notification and compliance, so have no expectation of notification, and it would be up to the owner at the time. He too had a concern with the precedence. Ms. Hagen noted this is an exception, the transfer took place while the claim was being heard, the new owner was involved with the property owner and acknowledged at the last meeting they were willing to steps into the shoes of the prior claimant. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GARZA TO GRANT THE CLAIM 1756 IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,255.00 AND DENY THE BALANCE OF $3,700.00 FOR 1320 VERMONT AVENUE. MOTION CARRIED 2-0. DISCUSSION – City Contractors for Code Enforcement - Updates on Bids Council Member Hussain noted the Council Staff had requested updates on the recent bid closure, and as of the time of the meeting there was no response from Mr. McGrain in EDP. Mr. Sanford confirmed he had not spoken to Mr. McGrain yet on the bids, but has reached out to the lowest bidder on the Grass Mowing RFP, but has not heard back. Council Member Hussain stated the topic would remain on the agenda for the next meeting for an update. Other: a.

After my on a particular board or daughter in law's death in Nov 2011, I became a parent again commission. Please be to three grandsons. They help me celebrate that Lansing is still specific as to your goals a wonderful place to live and raise children! I have worked in and ideas about how you healthcare and chaplaincy since 1989. Patients and staff live in wish to contribute to the communities. The hospital is a microcosm of a community. work of the board or commission I speak softly about specific goals without consultation with other board members however, I can bring another perspective through the art and skill of healing, reconciliation and accountabilty. In my role as hospital chaplain and manager of spiritual care services, I attend to the complicated matters for patients and hospital staff. This includes co-chair of the Ethics Committee and working alongside a team who suggests appropriate, life giving interventions for patients and hospital staff. This affords me unlimited opportunities to network with our multi-cultural, interdisciplinary team and network with agencies in the greater Jackson community to provide services for our patients, their families and staff to improve their quality 3 of life. I have some fiscal responsibility for our health system. In addition to my operating budget for my department, our health system employs approximately 3500 plus staff. I am one of the founders who set the criteria for eligibility and am a permanent member of the Staff Assistance Fund for Emergencies. Our team determines if a staff applicant meets our criteria to receive assistance and the monetary amount of assistance they should receive. Monies for this fund is generated through annual staff contributions and United Way of Jackson. I can bring some stewardships skills for fiscal matters, include contract preparation and compliance matters. In my role as director of the CPE program, our mission is to positively affect people’s lives by nurturing connections. Developing relationships is the lifeline to a healthy community. I can offer problem solving skills and the art of active listening. I am skilled at facilitating difficult but necessary conversations about controvesal issues and concerns. Honoring diversity means to respect the unique culture and identity of all Lansing residents. As an educator, I developed a curiculum for my graduate level students as well as those who have minimal formal education but a desire to serve our patients and hospital staff. The curiculums center on integration of inclusion, empowerment and responsiblity for self and our customers/patients. I can bring the skill of assessment for various components of the HRCS department and offer another perspective on how the department can enhance their services as they honor the unique cultures and journies of Lansing residents. Often we hear of only complaints about our Lansing Police. I must add that I appreciate the tenderness of our Lansing Police. My husband suffers from Alzheimers. Several times, while he was walking, different officers picked him up and brought him home. While the nature of policing brings a certain stress with it, I do celebrate our police are caring individuals. My passion is education and empowerment. I wonder as the HRCS department strives to support the Lansing citizens who are at risk for social ills, if there are opportunities to not only feed the hungry but empower them to give back as they receive. Finally, I love to celebrate! As I read Mayor Schor's recent address to the City, I read about Lansing's accomplishments and wondered what an accomplishemnt it could be if our 4  homeless population could settle. I know people who live without stable housing often come from complicated backgrounds. The beauty of living in Lansing is our resources and diversity. I am creative. When I began my employment at then Foote Hospital in 2007, there was no Spiritual Care department and no ACPE accredited Education Center. I began to envison what we could be and began to seek out the people who where willing and passionate about building a Spirutal Care team. My team of associate chaplains and I think outside the box and when we need to adhere to strick compliance, we invite others to join us as we collaborate on ways to make our hospital and the Jackson commuity a place where people can be proud to work and live. Although I work in Jackson, I look forward to the possibility that I can help Lansing grow and attack more residents through the work and mission of HRCS department or other commissions where I may be of service.
