Ms. Tennis introduced herself and provided a brief summary of her experience and what her
role would mean to this appointment. Ms. Tennis informed the Committee she holds a career
as a social worker, likes to address inequalities and through this new role on the Board she
thought it would be a good opportunity to help the residents of Lansing. Council Member Wood
asked her what her plans were to reach out to the community. Ms. Tennis stated she intended
to attend neighborhood meetings and was also intending to create business cards with her role
on this Board. Council Member Wood encouraged her to also attend the monthly Ward
meetings. Council Member Garza referenced her application, and asked her what her vision
would be for that board and what she would like to accomplish. Ms. Tennis replied that the
community needs people who will help bring them together and they need resources. With her

RESOLUTION – Noise Waiver; Willard Avenue Pump Station (Hearing & Action 9/14)
Council Member Hussain noted the public hearing is set for September 14, 2020, but Council
has been asked to take action the same night so the contractor can start as soon as September
19, 2020. He then noted that at the last Committee meeting when they set the public hearing,
there were concerns on contractors currently starting before 7 am and the Committee asked
that the contractor or City staff create door tags to be used the day before every weekend
worked. Council Member Hussain noted that recently the staff had received word the contractor
was looking for one more week in the waiver. Mr. Jones confirmed the contractor has had some
unforeseen complications with vandalism, which caused a delay. So at this time they are asking
for additional week ending on October 25, 2020. Also, since the initial request, with this delay
they will be working every Saturday. Mr. Jones confirmed they will still place the door hangers
on Friday, but they might amend the language to state it will be every Saturday through October
25th. Lastly Mr. Jones confirmed that the notice did get mailed out to the 40 effected properties,
and it was not specific to dates so this change to October 25, 2020 should not affect the public
hearing. Council Member Hussain asked if Mr. Jones had spoken to the contractor about not
starting before 7 am, at which Mr. Jones confirmed he had spoken to them, but wanted it known
there is a by-pass pump that runs continuously. Council Member Wood asked if the dates for
the waiver are listed in the public hearing notice, if they would have to re-notice. Mr. Venker
stated the ordinance did not specify but he would have to look at the notice. Mr. Venker was
referred to the document in the packet, and then noted that if the City is the applicant the Mayor
cannot grant any extensions because they can only be granted for non-profits. Council Member
Wood asked if there was an issue if the notice did not list the dates, and they need to work on
Sundays. Mr. Jones confirmed they will only work on Sundays in case of emergencies. Council
Member Garza asked who the contractor was and was told Hoffman Brothers. Council Member
Hussain clarified for the Committee and OCA the notice for the hearing did not list the dates of
the actual noise waiver, but the date of the hearing. Mr. Venker confirmed the ordinance did not
state the dates of the waiver had to be listed. Council Member Wood asked Ms. Boak, to reach
out to the City Clerk to see how the notice was publishes. Ms. Boak, stated that the noise
waiver public hearing notice is not required to be published just mailed out to the effected
residents 12 days prior.
MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE NOISE
WAIVER, PENDING THERE ARE NOT PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
9/14/2020 THAT WOULD CAUSE THE WAIVER NOT TO BE ISSUED. ROLL CALL VOTE,
MOTION CARRIED 3-0.
RESOLUTION- Boards/Commissions Annual Trainings
Council Member Hussain recapped at the last meeting the resolution was not acted on by
Committee because it was unclear if it was enforceable, and if there could be standards set that
if a member does not participate in the annual training if they could be removed or suspended.
That meeting also requested a clause be placed in it saying that upon passage it would be
transmitted to all Boards and Commission. Ms. Hagen stated she had not done the
amendments, but confirmed they could add the clause on transmitting, did confirm with the OCA
that if a member does not complete training they cannot be removed. A member can only be
removed for cause. Regarding suspending a member, it would have to be listed in all the
boards individual by laws, rules or procedures. Council Member Wood asked that the OCA also
add a recommendation that all Boards and Commissions amend their rules to address the
annual training. The OCA was asked to amend the resolution by the September 22, 2020
meeting for Committee action. If they have any issues they were directed to contact Council
Member Hussain directly.
DISCUSSION – Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Budget Priorities
Council Member Hussain asked for input from the Committee on items to add. Council Member
Wood suggested $5,000 for training modules for the OCA to utilize for the Boards and
Commissions. Council Member Hussain asked Mr. Venker if the OCA had any input on that
suggestion or amount, and he stated he would have to report back.
Council Member Garza had no comments at this time. Council Member Hussain asked the
Committee to forward any additional suggestions to the Office Manager for full Council
discussion. Council Member Wood suggested additional funds to be added for each
department to continue providing written materials for the public.

Public Comment on Agenda Items
No public comment at this time.
Discussion/Action:
DISCUSSION – City Contractors for Code Enforcement; Contracts, MOU’s, Termination
Clauses; Bid Process
Council Member Hussain explained to Mr. McGrain that at the last meeting the Committee was
looking to have their suggestions incorporated in the MOU’s and contracts. Mr. McGrain
confirmed they did a competitive process in January and outlined the bids that came in for the
grass and trash vendors. They did take the Committee comments seriously, but did have
limited applications. They have signed a contract with Eric’s Refuse and Tomlinsons’ for the
mowing. Council Member Wood asked, that in addition to the contracts if the department would
do a MOU based on the concerns of the Committee. Mr. McGrain stated he would consider
meeting with OCA to create a document. Council Member Garza asked if Tomlinson was not
DRAFT
the lowest bidder why they went with them. Mr. Sanford stated that during the background
checks, the lower bidder had issues, so the higher bidder matched the lower bidder. Council
Member Garza then noted that in the past Council was told that Tomlinson’s could not keep up
with the work, and therefore questioned why they were given a contract again. He then inquired
into MDOT funding in his Ward for maintenance at Cavanaugh and Cedar. Council Member
Hussain asked Mr. McGrain his thoughts on splitting the contracts. Mr. McGrain stated he saw
no reason not to have multiple contractors, and in this case they were not satisfied with one
vendor and chose not to go with them. The performance question was referred to Mr. Sanford.
Mr. Sanford acknowledged that in the past the contract would get 2 days behind, but he
supported their choice in contractors. Mr. McGrain addressed Council Member Garza comment
on MDOT funding noting it would be a question for Public Service. Council Member Wood
referenced communications in the past where the Committee was told that the City enters into
“gentleman agreements” with the contractors and there are no contracts. Mc. McGrain
understood the concern and stated that if Council wants to work with OCA on a MOU in writing,
he would be interested in looking at it to be part of the contract.
RESOLUTION – Appointment, C. Tennis; At Large Member; Human Relations & Community
Services Board; Term to Expire June 30, 2024
Ms. Tennis was not available. Council Member Hussain invite to 9/8 meeting, and last option.
Then also notify mayor office struggling to get her to come to committee.
RESOLUTION – Set Noise Waiver Public Hearing; Willard Avenue Pump Station and Related
Utilities Project
Mr. Jones informed the Committee that the City was undertaking the construction project to
upgrade the pump station on Willard and force main in Scott Woods. The contractor (Hoffman
Brothers) has indicated they would need to work weekends to keep the project on schedule.
The proposed Saturday’s and Sunday’s are only on emergency situations and they are looking
for flexibility to have 24 hours by-pass pumping and maintenance and monitoring 1000
properties. The requested dates range from 9/19/2020 – 10/19/2020. Council Member Wood
asked for the number of properties and Ms. Boak sent over the list that was emailed shortly
before the meeting. Mr. Jones summarized that there are 40 properties and they have already
reached out to some of them letting them know this might be possible. Council Member Wood
noted concerns from residents in the past on other projects that even though it stays 7 am, the
trucks are arriving before that time to start working at 7 am. Mr. Jones made a note to remind
the contractor and also added that the contractor indicated they might not need all those days,
but wanted the flexibility because of the nature of work. Council Member Wood asked if the
contractor would do door hangers the day before. Mr. Jones stated he would ask them about
that also. Council Member Garza asked if they were blocking off the streets during the project,
and Mr. Jones admitted there had been some issues with trash pickup in the past, but they are
trying to maintain access to the properties. Council Member Garza asked to be kept in the loop
on the project because it was his Ward and he asked Mr. Jones to speak to the contractor on
noise accommodations for the trucks.
MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO SET THE
NOISE WAIVER HEARING FOR 9/14/2020 FOR THE WILLARD AVENUE PUMP STATION.
ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 3-0.
Committee Members asked the notice include that the Council will take action the same night as
the public hearing and asked them to forward copies of the notice to the Committee. Mr. Jones
stated they could do both requests.
DRAFT
RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal #1781; B. Crain; 1110 Hickory Street; $4,050
Council Member Hussain noted the claim amount exceeds the amount that would be seen by
the Claims Review Committee.
Mr. Sanford noted the property was tagged for trash on 12/11/2019, with a compliance date of
12/18/2019 and a reinspection on 12/19/2019. On 1/7/2020 the contractor arrived. Mr. Sanford
did note that the permit reference in the claim as finalized in March, 2020. The owner is
showing progress and they have voided some bills.
Mr. Craine briefly spoke about how he acquired the home, his experience with his tenants, and
the current process he has been undertaking to restore the home, and appealed he needed
assistance do deal with his current situation. Mr. Craine concluded by explaining the current
permits mentioned by Mr. Sanford for the property. Council Member Hussain went through the
invoice with Mr. Craine noting the $265 of administrative fee. The Committee reviewed the
photos in the packet, the amount of debris, and the arrival times between the City contractor
and the owner. Mr. Craine was not able to provide invoices from his contractor because he
worked off a proposal. He was not denying the debris was from the project on the property,
however he noted he was out of town when the notice would have arrived. Council Member
Hussain closed the discussion noting that based on the information it appears this could be a
claim between the owner and his contractor because the City contractor photos did show they
made three debris pick-ups.
MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO DENY THE
CLAIM APPEAL 1781 FOR 1110 HICKORY STREET IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,050. ROLL
CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 3-0.
Mr. Craine asked if he could discuss the red tag fines in the future. Council Member Wood
suggested a second claim, but reminded him he needs to file 30 days after it appears on the tax
bill. He was recommended to follow up with Ms. Kumar in the OCA office where he admitted his
original discussions began.
RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal #1137; J Blumer; 725 N Pine; $435.00
Mr. Sanford began by listing dates of a compliance date of 9/12/2019, inspection on 9/13/2019
and contractor arrive on 9/17/2020. Council Member Hussain asked if there were other
violations, and Mr. Sanford stated one other in 2019 and twice in 2020 for tall grass, but those
have been complied. Ms. Sumner confirmed the Claims Review Committee denied it during the
review on 1/29/2020. At this time she was not able to provide details on why they denied it.
Mr. Blumer appealed he did not receive the first notice, admitted he did “drop the ball” because
of work and personal situations. He did reference the 2020 citations confirming he got those
and took care of those as soon as he got them. Lastly Mr. Blumer acknowledged the City
contractor did the work, however based on the size of the lot he appealed the cost. Council
Member Hussain pointed out the contractor cost is $175 for 2 hours and $265 for the
administrative fee. The OCA was asked to explain the notification process, and Ms. Sumner
confirmed that outlined legally, they follow the mailbox rule which states once it is placed in the
mailbox it is deemed delivered. Council Member Wood asked Mr. Sanford if the enforcement
officers were placing door hangers also, and Mr. Sanford confirmed they have been doing that.
Council Member Garza asked if the contractor does landscape company quality of bagging and
edging, and Mr. Sanford stated they are not contracted to lawn care services. Mr. Blumer asked
if the amount would appear on his taxes, and Mr. Sanford and Ms. Sumner advised him to
follow up with Treasury.

MOTION CARRIED 3-0.
Mr. Sanford left the meeting.
RESOLUTION – Boards and Commission Trainings
Council Member Hussain noted the discussions on a resolution were begun recently Council
found out that most boards are not receiving on ethics, OMA or FOIA. The OCA acknowledged
their officer has reached out to boards twice over the last 6 months to offer trainings. Council
Member Wood first requested an ordinance however it was suggested by OCA to do a
resolution instead. The proposed will require annual board trainings, and new appointments to
be trained within the first 60 days, and the OCA coordinate all trainings. The resolution will
require a certification of completion to be filed with the Clerk’s Office. Lastly, annually with the
adoption of the budget this resolution for a training requirement will be readopted. Ms. Hagen
confirmed the proposed resolution does mirror the earlier proposed ordinance, and based on
advice from the OCA. Council Member Wood asked if it could be amended to include that the
adopted resolution will be transmitted to all Boards and Commissions. Council Member
Hussain asked if the resolution will serve as a reminder this is an expectation. Council Member
Wood asked if the training is not met, could the board member be removed. Ms. Hagen sated
she could look into that if that is the desire of the Committee. Council Member Garza suggested
instead of removal from the Board if no training they could be suspended from the Board. Ms.
Hagen stated she would look into that option also but she was not sure if a member could be
suspended if they have already been appointed. The Committee will continue discussion
9/8/2020.
DISCUSSION – Fiscal Year 2021/2022 Budget Priorities
Council Member Hussain stated the document is an annual statement conveyed to
administration by 10/1. The Committee of the Whole will review at the Committee of the Whole
on 8/31/2020. The discussion will continue at this Committee on 9/8/2020. Council Member
Garza asked if the 10% reduction the City Council Members chose to take could be included in
the budget priorities on where the funds should go. Council Members discussed the option of
general fund or delegation.
