ITEM NUMBER EIGHT THIS MORNING IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH MDOT FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF JEFFERSON AVENUE FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR STREET TO LOGAN STREET, AND AUTHORIZING $2,453,895 FOR THE LOCAL SHARE OF COSTS. THERE, MOVING SUPPORT MOVED AND SUPPORTED. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. ABOUT THIS ITEM. YEAH. 
          [00:05:01]
EXCITING MORNING. LOTS OF ITEMS THIS MORNING. SO THIS ITEM IS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF JEFFERSON STREET FROM MLK TO LOGAN. THE RECONSTRUCTION INCLUDES THE STREET CURB GUTTER ASPHALT SUPPORTED BY AN MDOT GRANT. REPLACEMENT OF WATER MAIN SUPPORTED BY DRINKING WATER. 
          STATE REVOLVING FUND. ALSO WE HAVE BIKE LANES ON THE STREET, STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS, INFILTRATION BASINS AND WE ALWAYS IMPROVE OUR SIDEWALKS AND OUR ADA GRADES AS NEEDED. 
          WONDERFUL. I NOTICED IN THE PACKET THAT THIS WOULD INCLUDE, TO YOUR POINT, SOME WATER MAIN WORK. AND YOU MENTIONED A NUMBER OF PLANS INCLUDING VITAL STREETS, BIKE PLAN, GREEN GRAND RAPIDS. JUST WONDERING HOW THIS MIGHT HAVE FIT IN WITH OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND THEIR GOALS, AND HOW THEY'VE BEEN PART OF CONVERSATIONS AHEAD OF THIS. SO WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. WE PLAN, DESIGN THEIR STREETS. WE'VE SEEN A NOTED DECREASE IN POTHOLES AND OTHER PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK AS WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR STREETS. ARE THERE OTHER GOALS IN PARTICULAR, COMMISSIONER? NO WONDER. WELL, THINKING ABOUT THEIR PRIORITIZATION PROJECTS, YOU MENTIONED A NUMBER OF PLANS RELATED TO BIKES AND STREETS, BUT BECAUSE A LOT OF THE WORK INCLUDES WHAT'S UNDERGROUND AND SEWER AND WATER, I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS FITS INTO THEIR THEIR PRIORITIES. AND DOES ANYONE WANT TO COME UP AND SPEAK TO THAT, MR. BURKE? GOOD MORNING. FROM THE WATER AND SEWER PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS PART OF AN ONGOING ASSET MANAGEMENT. SO THERE'S REPLACEMENT OF WATER MAIN LEAD SERVICE LINES IN THIS AREA. I BELIEVE THERE MIGHT BE SOME SEWER LINING ON IT AS WELL IN TERMS OF WE DO OUR BEST WHEN WE RECOGNIZE FROM A WATER AND SEWER PERSPECTIVE, WHEN A PROJECT IS IDENTIFIED AS A POTENTIAL RECONSTRUCTION TO REPLACE BURIED ASSETS OR LINE THE ASSETS THAT ARE THERE. AND I GUESS FROM A PUBLIC WORKS PERSPECTIVE, I NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. I'M JUST ASKING GENERALLY HOW THIS PROJECT FITS INTO YOUR PRIORITIES. IT'S NOT A YOU KNOW, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THIS PROJECT, BUT I NOTICED THAT WE OFTEN HIGHLIGHT HOW, HOW OUR OUR INVESTMENTS RELATE TO SOME OF OUR PLANS RELATED TO VITAL STREETS AND TO OUR MOBILITY PLAN. AND SO ALSO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR WORK ISN'T FORGOTTEN AS WE THINK ABOUT AND CROSSWALK THAT WITH HOW WE DETERMINE PRIORITIES IN OUR INVESTMENTS. CERTAINLY. SO FOR PUBLIC WORKS, WE'RE WE'RE MORE ON THE MAINTENANCE SIDE OF THINGS RATHER THAN DESIGN. AND SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE, WE'D BE MAINTAINING THOSE ASSETS IF IT'S THE STREET ITSELF OR THE BIKE LANES. BUT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DESIGN, THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE A MOBILITY ISSUE THAT I WOULD TURN OVER TO JESSICA AT THAT POINT. SURE. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, COLLEAGUES? COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU. CHAIR, THANK YOU FOR RAISING THOSE POINTS. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST NOTE THAT AT FISCAL COMMITTEE THIS MORNING, WE DID ALSO DISCUSS REVENUE BONDS FOR REPLACING AGING WATER MAINS. SO THIS THIS MAY BE INCLUDED IN THIS PROJECT. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS YES, THIS ONE THIS ONE IS DWR FUNDED. SO WE UTILIZE MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES FOR OUR VARIOUS PROJECTS. WE DO HAVE DWR FUNDING THIS YEAR. THE BONDS WE USUALLY DO LIKE A THIRD OR A FOURTH QUARTER ISSUANCE ON THOSE. AND THE PROJECTS TYPICALLY HAVE STARTED OR THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST ONES TO START THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT BOND ISSUANCE. AND I WILL NOTE TO THE SECTION OF JEFFERSON, FROM MY MEMORY, IS ONE OF THE LAST CHUNKS OF JEFFERSON THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ESSENTIALLY FROM FULTON ALL THE WAY SOUTH ALMOST TO PAST HALL STREET, I THINK. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST STRETCHES TO BE DONE. MOST OF THE UTILITIES HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF SO FAR. THANK YOU FOR THAT BACKGROUND. SEEING NO OTHER FURTHER. SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

WITH THE TOTAL PROJECT NOT TO EXCEED COST OF $1,348,000, SO MOVE. SUPPORT. SUPPORT. ANOTHER FAIRLY REGULAR ITEM WE SEE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD, MISS IRVING? JUST THAT THIS WILL ALLOW US TO DO ROUGHLY ANOTHER 180 PRIVATE LEAD WATER SERVICE LINES THAT GOES FROM THE CURB STOP INTO THE WATER METER, INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES THAT WHEN WE BID THE CONTRACT, WE HAD THEM BID A PROJECTED INCREASE. SHOULD WE ASK FOR A ONE YEAR EXTENSION? SO COST WILL BE INCREASED BY 5% AND THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR ONTO THE CONTRACT. OH. SEEING NO DISCUSSION. OH, SORRY. SORRY. IT'S OKAY. YES, I WAS WRITING THANK YOU CHAIR. JUST REAL QUICKLY. I KNOW BRICK'S BEEN DOING A LOT OF THE LEAD LINE REPLACEMENT. I HAD A COUPLE OF CONSTITUENTS RECENTLY ASK IF IF THERE WERE ANY PARTS OF THE WEST SIDE THAT WERE FORGOTTEN. FOR SOME REASON, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY WERE, BUT I WANTED TO JUST DOUBLE CHECK SINCE I HAD YOU HERE. I THINK THE WEST SIDE IS NEVER FORGOTTEN. WE ARE STRATEGICALLY GOING THROUGH THE AREAS, THE TWO CONTRACTS THAT MISS IRVING IS TALKING ABOUT TODAY ARE PRIVATE SIDE ONLYS, WHICH ARE THE LEFTOVERS FROM THE CSO DAYS. 
          SO THERE'S A LARGE CHUNK ON THE WEST SIDE. WE'RE GRADUALLY KIND OF WORKING THROUGH IN A MANAGEABLE AMOUNT ON THE WINTER. THE EAST SIDE IS ACTUALLY THE THIRD WARD WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO HAVING PICKED UP MOST OF THE CSO AREAS IN THE THIRD WARD, AND NOW WE'RE STARTING TO TO LOOK INTO SOME OF THE SECOND WARD AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN KIND OF PUSHED BACK. BUT WE CONTINUE WE'RE GRADUALLY WORKING THROUGH IT. AND JUST AS CONSTITUENTS ASK, WE JUST ASK FOR A LITTLE BIT OF PATIENCE BECAUSE THESE THIS THESE CONTRACTS ARE TYPICALLY THE WINTER PROJECTS WHERE WE'RE NOT DIGGING IN THE ROAD. WE'RE ON THE PRIVATE SIDE. AND I WILL SAY THE FIRST WARD ON THE WEST SIDE THERE, THERE'S SOME LARGE BOULDERS THAT ARE BURIED THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUES FOR US IN THE PAST. SO JUST BE PATIENT. WE'RE GETTING TO THEM. WE PROJECT IN THE NEXT 4 TO 5 YEARS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE PRIVATE SITES TAKEN CARE OF. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. 
          THANK YOU. AND THEN BEFORE YOU LEAVE, SORRY, YOU USED CSO ACRONYM. CAN YOU COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS? SO BACK IN THE EARLY 19 LATE 80S, EARLY 1990S, THE CITY HAD STORM SEWERS TIED INTO SANITARY SEWERS. AND THOSE WOULD RELEASE WHEN WE WOULD HAVE LARGE RAIN EVENTS. SO STARTING AROUND 1990 AND THROUGH, OH REALLY, I THINK WAS ABOUT 2015. THE CITY ACHIEVED 99.9% SEPARATION OF THEIR STORM SEWER, SANITARY SEWER. WHEN THOSE PROJECTS WENT IN, THERE WAS LARGE SEWERS THAT WERE PUT IN, AND AT THAT TIME THE WATER MAIN AND SERVICE LINES WERE REPLACED, REPLACING THE PUBLIC PORTION OF THOSE WATER SERVICES. BUT NOTHING WAS DONE ON THE PRIVATE SIDE. I UNDERSTAND WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES TO DO THAT, TO SEPARATE. I THINK WE WERE WE WERE THERE'S SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES. I THINK LANSING IS ONE. AND I THINK DETROIT THAT HAVE THERE'S OPTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. YOU CAN DO LOCALIZED TREATMENT. BUT WE WERE WENT AHEAD WITH FULL SEPARATION TO HELP BUILD UP THE COMMUNITIES WHERE THESE COMBINED SEWERS EXISTED AND GETTING, YOU KNOW, FULL RIGHT OF WAY RECONSTRUCTS. YES. THANK

          THIS IS AN INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT. SO THEY'RE BUILDING IN PHASES. THIS IS THE FOURTH PHASE. AND WITH THAT THREE OF THEIR ROADS ARE GOING TO BECOME PUBLIC ROADS AT SOME POINT. HENCE THE REASON SOME OF THE EASEMENTS SAY TERMINATING. SO WHEN IT BECOMES A ROAD OWNED BY THE CITY OF WALKER, THEN WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE THAT EASEMENT. WE WILL SIMPLY HAVE RIGHT OF ACCESS THROUGH OUR AGREEMENTS WITH WALKER TO MAINTAIN OUR UTILITIES. AND THEN ONE EASEMENT DOES HAVE SOME PRIVATE PROPERTY AND A PRIVATE STREET, SO THAT ONE WILL REMAIN. I HAVE ONE QUESTION. IN THE MEMO. IT SAYS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS ISN'T A TYPO. THE SECOND PARAGRAPH WHERE IT READS THE PORTION OF THIS EASEMENT, THE. 
          THIS. THE PORTION OF THIS EASEMENT LOCATED ALONG KENOWA AVENUE WOULD NO LONGER BE REQUIRED AS A. UTILITIES WILL BE LOCATED WITHIN THE NEW PUBLIC UTILITIES EASEMENT ON KENILWORTH AVENUE. RIGHT. SO WE HAD AN EASEMENT WHICH WAS A PERMANENT EASEMENT ALONG KENOWA AVENUE, BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE THAT A PRIVATE STREET, BUT THEY HAVE SINCE WORKED WITH THE CITY OF WALKER, AND PORTIONS WILL BECOME PUBLIC. SO THAT ONE HAS TO BE RELEASED. 
          THAT WAS FROM PHASE ONE. SO THAT ONE'S BEING RELEASED SO THAT THE NEW EASEMENT IS DESCRIBED PROPERLY AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE WHEN THE STREET BECOMES PUBLIC. OKAY. 
          AND THEY HAD TO HAPPEN TO BE ON THE SAME STREET. THAT'S WHAT THREW ME OFF. AND THEY HAPPENED TO BE ON THE SAME STREET BECAUSE IT WAS AN EXTENSION OF KENOWA. GOT IT. THANK YOU. SAY NO FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES. ITEM 16 IS A RESOLUTION

          THEY'RE TRYING TO BE STRATEGIC TO IMPROVE SAFETY, SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT. AND OUR ACT 51 COST SHARE IS ABOUT 737,000 ON A ALMOST $29 MILLION PROJECT. SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE MDOT'S INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. YES WE DO. ANY DISCUSSIONS OR QUESTIONS, COLLEAGUES, ANY IDEA OF THE TIMELINE? YEAH, THEY'RE GOING TO DO SOME PRE-WORK. THEY'RE GOING TO DO SOME PRE-WORK THIS FALL, JUST PREPPING AND GETTING READY SOME VERIFICATION OF OF CONDITIONS. BUT IT'S GOING TO START IN THE SPRING OF 2027. HENCE THE REASON RIGHT NOW THE CITY IS FINISHING THE RECONSTRUCTION OF BURTON FROM DIVISION TO KALAMAZOO DIRECTLY PARALLEL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COORDINATING WITH OUR NEIGHBORS. AS A LONG STRETCH.

AND WITH THAT PROJECT, THE MDOT RECEIVED A FEDERAL GRANT TO WIDEN THE EAST SIDE OF THE BRIDGE TO 14FT WIDE FOR A NON-MOTORIZED PATH. OUTSIDE OF THE BRIDGES EXTENT, WE ENTER BACK INTO THE CITY OF GRAND RAPIDS AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY. SO WE'RE EXTENDING THAT PATH ON THE EAST SIDE TO CONNECT TO GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP PATHS. AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH MDOT. THEY'RE PAYING FOR THE SIGNAL. WE'RE INTEGRATING THE PATH. SO THERE WILL BE A CROSSING AT EAST BELTLINE NEAR CALVARY CHURCH, WHERE THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN REFUGE ISLAND WHERE THERE'S A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION FOR SAFETY, AND THEN ALSO CONNECTING THAT PATH BACK UP TO BRADFORD, WHERE WE'RE CURRENTLY FINISHING A PROJECT THAT EXTENDS PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES WEST ON BRADFORD TO LEFFINGWELL, UP LEFFINGWELL AND THEN TIE TIES IN ALONG LEFFINGWELL WITH GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP AGAIN.

          [00:25:04]
COMMISSIONERS. THIS IS OUR STANDARD ITEM THAT WE BRING TWICE A YEAR. SO WE'RE TAKING OUR NUISANCE ROLE CHARGES FOR OUR DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT ARE ABLE TO PROPERTIES. RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A LITTLE BIT OVER RIGHT AROUND $400,000 IS 1223 INVOICES. JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT AROUND THAT, THERE ARE SIX DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT OWE ROUGHLY $50,000 IN TOTAL OF THIS AMOUNT. AND THEY'RE STANDARD PEOPLE THAT ALWAYS HAVE INVOICES GO THIS WAY. THEY ALLOW THOSE NUISANCE CHARGES TO ROLL OVER TO THE PROPERTY TAX BILL. AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY THEY ROLL ON HOW THEY PAY THOSE ITEMS. SO IT'S NOTHING SURPRISING TO US. WHAT I FOUND VERY INTERESTING THOUGH, IS WE WE TRACK BACK A NUMBER OF YEARS. THIS IS THE LOWEST NUMBER OF INVOICES SINCE COVID. SO WHEN I WENT AND LOOKED BACK, THE COVID YEAR WINTER TAX ROLL, WE HAD A THOUSAND INVOICES. THIS IS ONLY 1223. SO REALLY OUR FOLKS ARE STAYING ON TOP OF IT. THIS PROCESS WORKS VERY WELL. THE CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICERS AND THE PROCESSES THAT THEY HAVE IN THAT DEPARTMENT ARE VERY WELL DEVELOPED. AND SO RIGHT NOW, THIS KICKS OFF THE PROCESS WHERE WE'LL BE NOTIFYING FOLKS OF THESE PAST DUE ITEMS. THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPEAL BEFORE THIS IS ACTUALLY MOVED TO THE PROPERTY TAX BILL. SO THIS ACTUALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MONTHS LONG AREA HERE BEFORE WE ADD THAT TO THE TAX ROLL. BUT WE'RE GIVING EVERYBODY THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORWARD AND PAY THOSE BILLS. AND REALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS WE WILL SEE THIS AMOUNT GO DOWN. AND SO WE PROBABLY ARE ONLY GOING TO TRANSFER OVER TO THE TAX ROLL SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 275 AND $300,000.

          [22. Resolution approving the Joint Use of Facilities, Maintenance and Programming Agreement between the City of Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Public Schools]
COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU. ITEM 22 THIS MORNING IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE JOINT USE OF FACILITIES MAINTENANCE AND PROGRAMING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF GRAND RAPIDS AND GRAND RAPIDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS. SO MOTION SUPPORT MOVED AND SUPPORTED. MISS BEHRENS. THANK YOU. JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY. SO THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE GRAND RAPIDS PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVE HAD AN AGREEMENT OF SOME SORT TO ALLOW A JOINT USE OF FACILITIES TO THE BENEFIT OF OUR MUTUAL TAXPAYERS AND RESIDENTS. FOR A LONG TIME, SINCE THE 50S, THIS ITERATION WOULD BE FOR A THREE YEAR TERM WITH TWO THREE YEAR OPTIONS TO RENEW, AND IT CONTINUES. MUCH OF THE PRIOR AGREEMENT. THERE ARE A COMPLICATED WEB OF WAYS THAT WE USE EACH OTHER'S FACILITIES. THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT TRY TO EXHAUSTIVELY LIST ALL OF THOSE THINGS, AND IT NEVER HAS IT. DELEGATES TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE CITY MANAGER, THEIR DESIGNEES WAYS TO COORDINATE ALL OF THE. THE SHARED USES AND PARKS DEPARTMENT MAINTAINS VERY COMPLICATED AND COMPREHENSIVE SPREADSHEET THAT SHOWS ALL OF THE OWNERSHIP AND OVERLAPPING AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS. WE ALSO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF USING SCHOOL DISTRICT FACILITIES FOR MANY THINGS, INCLUDING COMMISSION NIGHT OUT AS ELECTION POLLING PLACES FOR. 
          AND THEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS THE BENEFIT OF USING SOME OF OUR FIELDS TO SUPPORT THEIR ATHLETIC TEAMS. ALL OF THOSE WILL CONTINUE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. TO CLARIFY, I WOULD SAY IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, OTHERS MAY HAVE OTHER OPINIONS, BUT JUST TO CALL OUT FOR THE COMMISSION, HERE IS THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL LANGUAGE. SO IN THE OLDER VERSIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, IT WAS A VERY BARE BONES, WAS NOT A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT HOW TO NOTIFY EACH OTHER OF A SALE OF AN ASSET THAT HAD BEEN BEING USED UNDER THIS JOINT USE AGREEMENT. THIS VERSION OF IT PUTS IN MORE TIMELINES HOW THE NOTICE IS PROVIDED, IF ONE PARTY WANTS TO SELL OR THE OTHER PARTY, AND THEN IF THAT PARTY. SO ANYWAY, IF OUR PARTNER WANTED TO PURCHASE A CITY PROPERTY THAT WE WERE INTENDING TO SELL, IT MAKES CLEAR HOW THAT WORKS. 
          VICE VERSA AS WELL FOR US ON SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTIES. SO WE ARE JUST RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS TO CONTINUE THAT RELATIONSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. I THINK THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AND TIMELY GIVEN WHERE PPS IS. ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE UPDATED COPY WASN'T IN THE PACKET? WE TYPICALLY DON'T PUT THE FULL CONTRACT LANGUAGE IN THE PACKET. 
          YES. SO OKAY. WOULD YOU I WOULD LIKE TO TYPICALLY IT GOES THROUGH CITY ATTORNEY RIGHT. 
          FOLLOW UP. I THINK COLLEAGUES, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE BEFORE VOTING ON THIS ONE. SO I'M LOOKING AT OUR ATTORNEY AND OUR CLERK ON IF THERE'S SUPPORT FROM THE DAIS ON HOW THAT WOULD HOW THAT WOULD OCCUR. IS THE CONTRACT COMPLETED? YES. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT APPROVED IT AT THEIR LAST MEETING. CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS IT FOR REVIEW. NOW, 
          [00:30:02]
I KNOW I'M I'M NOT AWARE THAT WE HAVE IT YET, SO IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO ME, BUT. 
          SO CLERK, IF YOU HAVE IT, GIVE IT TO HIM. WE DON'T. YEAH. YOU HAVE A. YEAH. WE CAN GET IT TO THE COMMISSION HOWEVER YOU ADVISE. YEAH. I WOULD I WOULD JUST SAY LET THEM HAVE BECAUSE THEY'RE APPROVING A CONTRACT. SO SURE. WE TYPICALLY DON'T PUT IT IN THE PACKET. YES I UNDERSTAND HAVING THE PACKET. SO COLLEAGUES THAT'S WHERE I STAND. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE VOTING ON THIS OR APPROVING THIS WITHOUT ANY LINE OF SIGHT INTO SOME OF THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE. SO I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR WHAT YOU ALL THINK. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION THAT WE CAN HAVE RIGHT NOW ON THIS, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE TO PULL THIS OFF CONSENT AGENDA AND HAVE IT BE SOMETHING THAT IN THE INTERVENING TIME BETWEEN NOW AND OUR 2:00 MEETING, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REVIEW IT EITHER IN THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OR, OR, YOU KNOW, AND THEN VOTE ON IT THEN, OR DO WE WANT TO TABLE IT UNTIL ANOTHER MEETING? I THINK THAT'S A MATTER OF PROCEDURE BASED ON WHAT HOW YOU ALL WANT TO PROCEED. SO I'M HEARING FROM YOU, COMMISSIONER, THAT YOU'RE NOT READY TO VOTE ON IT, EITHER I OR THAT YOU'RE READY TO VOTE NO. IF WE IF WE IF WE CHOSE TO VOTE ON IT, I WOULD I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING IT. BUT I AGREE WITH YOU THAT BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND, AND LOOK AT IT NOW WOULD BE A GOOD PART OF THE PROCESS. SO SO YOU HAVE OPTIONS. YEAH. SO ONE OPTION IS TO APPROVE IT AND IT GOES TO CONSENT. THAT WOULD BE OPTION. THAT'S AN OPTION. OPTION TWO IS ANY COMMISSIONER CAN PULL SOMETHING OFF CONSENT. SO YOU COULD BE IN FAVOR OF IT HERE. 
          AND IT GOES TO THE 2:00 MEETING. AND YOU SAY I WANT TO PULL THIS OFF. COULD PULL THIS OFF CONSENT FOR THE WHOLE BODY TO CONSIDER WHICH YOU COULD, YOU COULD DO THAT AS WELL. AND THEN YOU HAVE TIME IN BETWEEN NOW AND 2:00 TO, TO SEE THAT CONTRACT LANGUAGE OR THREE. 
          SOMEONE VOTES NO, COMES OFF CONSENT THAT WAY AS WELL. SO I DON'T THINK YOU CAN REALLY TABLE IT'S IT'S GOT TO GO TO THE IT'S GOT TO GO TO THE FULL COMMISSION BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THEM. THEY CAN TABLE IT IF THEY WANT TO SEE IT LATER, OR YOU WOULD HAVE TO POSTPONE IT TO ANOTHER, ANOTHER MEETING. BUT IT GETS A LITTLE IT GETS A LITTLE. IT NEEDS TO GO TO THE THE FULL BODY FOR THEM TO MAKE A DECISION WHETHER TO POSTPONE IT TO ANOTHER, TO A FUTURE MEETING. SO I'M GOING TO DEFER TO COMMISSIONER PURDUE AS HER ON HER PREFERENCE ON HOW TO PROCEED. I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO ADD THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN THE CONTRACT YET, SO I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT IT'S BEEN FULLY EVEN VETTED BY OUR OFFICE OR NEGOTIATED WITH THE GRAND RAPIDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON OUR PART, IF WE WERE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. SO WE WOULD IF IF THE PLAN WOULD BE TO REVIEW AN AGREEMENT AFTER THE MEETING AND BEFORE THE 2:00 MEETING, I CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU THAT'S THE ACCURATE CONTRACT REVIEW. OKAY. IMPORTANT TO KNOW, COMMISSIONER, WOULD YOU DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? I WOULD SAY WE GO WITH WHAT JOEL SAID AND JUST REMOVE IT FROM CONSENT. BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND WE GOT A FULL AGENDA TODAY. WE HAVE. WE HAD STUFF. WE GOT STUFF. YES. UNDERSTOOD. 
          OKAY. SO CLERK, YOU MENTIONED A FEW OPTIONS. WHAT ARE SOME OPTIONS IF I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE OF PERSONALLY VOTING ON SOMETHING THAT I HAVEN'T, SOMETHING PARTICULARLY OF THIS NATURE. SO YOU MENTIONED ARE YOU ADVISING THAT WE CANNOT TABLE IT? WE CAN'T OR WE CANNOT? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YOU CAN'T TABLE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT TAKING IT UP FOR LATER TODAY. SO I MEAN, FOR THIS BODY BECAUSE THAT'D BE SO IT'D BE A POSTPONED TO A FUTURE MEETING. 
          OKAY. YEAH, IT GETS A LITTLE BIT INTERESTING BECAUSE THIS IS A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE OF THE CITY COMMISSION, AND YOU'RE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THEM. SO EVEN IF YOU ALTHOUGH WITH A SIX MEMBER BODY GETS A LITTLE INTERESTING AS WELL. SO, SO IT'S UP TO THEM TO POSTPONE IT TO A, TO A FUTURE MEETING BECAUSE THE BECAUSE YOU. LET'S JUST ASSUME WE HAD A SEVEN MEMBER BOARD AND YOU WERE GOING TO YOU'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THEM. THERE COULD BE A MAJORITY AT THAT MEETING THAT THAT DOES PASS IT. SO SO IF YOU POSTPONE IT, THEY DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION TO, TO WEIGH IN ON IT. THAT'S WHY IT'S A THAT'S WHY WE DO THE WORK TO THE CONSENT. SO I THINK IT EITHER FAIL. IF IT DOESN'T PASS HERE, IT'S GOING TO COME OFF CONSENT. THEY'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SO FOR YOU TO POSTPONE IT. SO IF I COULD. CLERK WOULD THAT BE TO SAY IF COMMISSIONER PURDUE WANTS TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO POSTPONE ACTION THAT WOULD BE PULLED FROM CONSENT BY THIS, THIS BODY WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IT BE PULLED FROM CONSENT. THEN AT THE 2:00 MEETING, WE CAN WORK ON WHAT THE APPROPRIATE 
          [00:35:06]
MOTION FOR YOU WOULD BE TO MAKE TO REQUEST THAT THE FULL BODY CONSIDER POSTPONING IT OR TABLING IT. WE CAN WORK WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE TO GET YOU LANGUAGE ON THAT APPROPRIATE MOTION. WOULD THAT WORK? MR. CLERK? YEAH, THAT SHOULD WORK. OKAY. SO THE THE OTHER THE QUESTION IS, SO AT SOME POINT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THE, THE FULL CONTRACT IF THEY WANT TO APPROVE. SURE. I CAN GET THAT TO THEM. OKAY. BEFORE 2:00. OKAY. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'LL BE ENOUGH TIME FOR EVERYBODY TO FEEL COMFORTABLE, HENCE THE REASON TO MAKE THE MOTION TO POSTPONE IT. IF YOU THINK THAT WE NEED TO. YEAH. SO THAT THAT WILL BE MY INTEREST, 
          [23. Motion to postpone until a future meeting.]
COLLEAGUES, IS THEIR INTEREST IN MAKING A MOTION TO POSTPONE. I WILL SUPPORT THAT. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? SORRY. WE'RE MAKING A MOTION TO POSTPONE. SO YOU'RE YOUR MOTION IS TO POSTPONE TILL WHEN? TO A FUTURE MEETING. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR BECAUSE. BECAUSE IF YOU DO IT INDEFINITELY THAT'S THAT'S ANOTHER THING. SO OKAY. SO. GOT IT. DOES THAT DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED? YEAH. DOES THAT DOES THE MOTION MATCH THE INTENT OF THE DISCUSSION? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. SO I JUST WANT I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR. SO IT'S GOING TO COME OFF CONSENT BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A MOTION TO TO APPROVE IT. SO SO IT'S STILL GOING TO BE DISCUSSED THIS AFTERNOON. AND THEN THE REST OF THE BODY CAN DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO POSTPONE IT TO A FUTURE MEETING OR VOTE ON IT AND VOTE ON IT TODAY. THAT'S GREAT. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL THE TIME IS NOW 52. WE ARE ADJOURNED.
