MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE NOISE WAIVER FOR MILLER ROAD BETWEEN PENNSYLVANIA AND AURELIUS. ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 2-0 RESOLUTION – Michigan Liquor control Commission – Transfer of Ownership Sidecar LLC, 500 E Michigan Ave Councilmember Hussain stated he reached out to the Clerk’s office for clarification on what needed to be done. Councilmember Wood stated she didn’t see an approval from Treasury is there one. Mr. Swope from the Clerk’s office stated yes there was one in Laserfiche.

MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR MICHIGAN LIQUOR CONTROL COMMISSION TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF 500 E MICHIGAN TO SIDECAR LLC. ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 2-0. RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal #1794 & 1819; Bengt Jansson; 1122 Platt Street; $450 Scot Sanford stated there was a letter sent 10/24/2019 and 02/2020 from Code Enforcement who was called by LPD for interior conditions & was red tagged. Owner called on 11/6/2019, 1/22/2020 and 3/25/2020 for extensions all were granted and have now expired. The building safety department is issuing permits and Mr. Jansson cannot demolish on his own. Councilmember Hussain verified that extensions were granted and asked when the monitory fees start. Mr. Sanford said first bill was June 2020 and paid then 08/04/2020 and that has been paid. November/December have not been paid yet. Ms. Sumner stated the Review Committee met and based on the review the house was properly red tagged and fees in place and we ultimately denied the claim. Mr. Jansson stated he bought the property in May 2019 to invest in REO town. Plan was to fix it up in his spare time and ultimately found out the foundation was not in good condition. He never received a response back from a Masonry request and was going to demolish in March 2020 then COVID. He didn’t recall Steve Swan medicating he heeded a license for demolition. My concern in that it took some time for the review committee to look at it. Also, there were no notices to previous owners since it was vacant for years. Councilmember Wood stated it was her understanding that this had been properly noticed. You have been paying the fees correct? Mr. Jansson stated yes and another check for Nov. was going out. Councilmember Hussain commented that he was struggling with the fact that Mr. Jansson you bought the home to fix but waited six months after receiving the first notice. Are there any further questions, there were none. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO DENY THE RESOLUTION FOR CLAIM APPEAL #1794 & #1819; BENGT JANSSON; 1122 PLATT STREET $450. ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 2-0. Councilmember Hussain stated Mr. Smiertka needed to leave so if he could address the Committee on the Ordinance. Mr. Smiertka stated the Committee has done a lot of work on the Ordinance. Regarding the conflict of interest we advise that there will be forms to prepare and the board will have to review. My concern is we’ve received from HUD on fines they assessed against City of Lansing. We have until February to file a response. In and Ordinance of this affect together with Administration and policy put in place it will go a long way to attempt to allow those funds so I am asking for your consideration on the form. RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal #1815; David Shellenbarger; 2321 Commonwealth; $7,790 Mr. Sanford stated a trash violation on 7/31/2020 with compliance office returning on 8/7 and the violation still occurred. Code Compliance returned on 8/10/2020 it was still there and therefore they removed. The claimant has submitted receipts from Granger for his removal. We followed proper procedure in removal and notifications to taxpayer of record and therefore denied the claim. Councilmember Hussain said before I turn it over I have a question on a breakdown of the bill. I see 70 yards of waste and what about labor. Mr. Sanford stated 23 man hours were records and 62 yards of wasted removed. Mr. Shellenbarger stated he bought the house for his son/daughter and ultimately his daughter was going to move in. They worked on the home for some time and then his daughter moved out after about a year and a neighbor asked for a land contract and stayed for 1 ½ years and left it a mess. By the time he got back to the house everything had been cleaned up. Mr. Shellenbarger asked about notification because he never received anything in the mail. If things could be sent certified to verify delivery and asked for consideration to approve claim. Councilmember Hussain said that the appeal seems to be based around notification and not amount of labor and waste. Mr. Shellenbarger stated they went into the garage and removed things that shouldn’t have been removed. Councilmember Hussain stated we have several pictures that are available of the outside and that we are unable to bid out on every job. Councilmember Wood asked to OCA to explain under code notice and the requirement. Ms. Sumner stated when COL sends out notice and in law this is noted as mailbox rule and once placed it is deemed as sent. No way for the City to know if received but out duty is to mail. Claimant stated we should make sure of receipt. Ms. Sumner understand the frustrations for people on the other end of this. The requirement is that the City send notice and in law this is known as mailbox rule. But our duty is to mail and that is our practice. Unfortunately we don’t have control over the postal office. It is the owner’s responsibility to also have notice of the code and local ordinances. Councilmember Wood asked Mr. Sanford that it is here understanding that this particular violation from Mr. McGrain. There were efforts to place notice on buildings as well is this correct? Mr. Sanford said yes in regards to grass and trash but not beyond that. Councilmember Wood said looking at the information that we have in BS&A the address is 2321 Commonwealth and it shows the taxpayer and owner of record. Mr. Sanford this is correct, the last modification was 4/4/2016 and stated David E & Maria L Shellenbarger. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO DENY THE RESOLUTION FOR CLAIM APPEAL #1815; DAVID SHELLENBARGER; 2321 COMMONWEALTH $7,790. ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 2-0. RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal Reconsideration #1766; Royal Wulff LLC; 903 N Capitol; $460 Councilmember Hussain indicated we recently acted on this claim and denied it after the meeting it was brought up that the tenant did not have legal standing. At the 11/30/2020 Council meeting OCA agreed and asked to pull it back to committee. Councilmember Wood stated based on information provided to Committee and fact that OCA clarified on that she moves to deny the claim. Ms. Sumner stated she did want to clarify as well. We were unable to determine whether or not this person had standing because they failed to appear. It is possible for a tenant to have standing or a claim. It depends on what the lease structure is. Because this person failed to appear they never brought us information that would’ve allowed us to determine standing. Upon further review the committee and we already decided we were going to deny and person didn’t appear so we went forward with the denial. Jim and I spoke about this and the fact of the denied claim on standing is functionally the same. So it did come to this committee as a denial and out of Committee and then back. My thing is the denial is proper if we wanted to amend reason to be that we were unable to determine standing as opposed to denied on merits that would be more consistent as to how the committee has handled things in the past. Councilmember Wood stated she disagreed and having sat on this committee enough when we find the personal doesn’t have standing we don’t move the resolution forward. We have done this historically so I’m concerned about getting out there and having someone comeback and say we didn’t even consider mine before you told me I didn’t have standing. My suggestion to the chair would be to reach out to property owners and notify them that the tenant filed a claim. It shows here it was paid on summer tax bill. We have had and I do agree with you Heather had the landlord and tenant at the meeting together it would have made it clear whose responsibility it was. Mr. Sanford continuously reminds us it goes with property not tenant. My concern is we have a precedence set and how we handle it. Councilmember Hussain agreed; Councilmember Wood stated the owner on record is Michael Demmer of Royal Wulff so if we could get them involved. Mr. Bob Vanarckel mentioned he is the Property Manager and was given legal standing to speak on the issue. He stated that he thought this had been dealt with and was resolved. We have paid and taken out of the tenant’s security deposit as she has since moved and we are not looking to appeal. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER WOOD TO PLACE THE RESOLUTION FOR CLAIM APPEAL #1766; ROYAL WULFF LLD; 903 N CAPITOL; $460 ON FILE. ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 2-0. ORDINANCE – Introduction and Setting of Public Hearing; Ordinance Amendments chapter 240; Grant Award Process Councilmember Hussain reviewed what the Ordinance is and asked Ms. Sumner to take us through and talk about the recent changes. Ms. Sumner went through the following: Page 1 - keep as changes reflect Page 2 – Line 4 changed as reflected Page 3; line 6 – should “to” City be changed to state “through” City. Councilmember Wood stated her concern when we started was that all the 1.25 would potentially go to the City Department to be utilized and not by non- profits. Ms. Coleman did a good job in explaining what they were doing. So my questions have been answered. Ms. Sumner verified “to” would stay written in. Page 4 #2; red portion added in; the form is on the City website as an Affidavit of Disclosure this is the same as filing a conflict of interest. Mr. Swope’s concern is with this form that is specifically outlined in the Charter and is specific to indicate based on disclosure when you have a conflict. We did receive some from the department and don’t think this form works for that. #1 and #2 discloses made under the form according to the Charter are to be put on City Council agenda and then through the Board of Ethics. Options are to create a sister image of the form or to use and mimic statement of financial interested. Councilmember Wood asked who can answer once the disclosure is filled out who looks at it and makes a determination and who keeps it on file. Mr. Swope said those that are completed we have them and again go to Council Agenda. We do not have a process on file is my understanding. Ms. Sumner stated Mr. Swope is correct. The statement of financial interest would work better and with minor tweaks it might work best then have it go to the City Clerk and Board of Ethic’s and placed on file. All agreed Page 4; line 10/ #3 – change from Affidavit of disclosure to conflict of interest. Page 6 – accepted previous changes in red Everyone agreed the rest looked good and nobody objected.

Councilmember Garza asked for clarification on the 7 days and Mr. Sanford confirmed.

The chair was moved from the curb to the porch and still didn’t know she was in violation and asked for leniency. DRAFT MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER GARZA TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO DENY THE CLAIM APPEAL #1766 FOR 903 N CAPITOL IN THE AMOUNT OF $460. ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 2-0. RESOLUTION – Claim Appeal #1779; Jaza & Shna Saeid; 800 Harris Street; $440 Mr. Sanford began by stated the property was cited for trash violation on 01/27/2020 with compliance date of 02/03/2020 and a recheck was done on 02/04/2020. Contractors arrived on 02/05/2020 and it was removed. Mr. Sanford said in the current claim the claimant states he was unaware of the violation however they were cited for the same thing on 01/18/2018. We do have notes from 2018 that the claimant spoke with the Code Officer and he clarified the policy. I recommend denial of the claim. Councilmember Garza said he sees in the photos the recliner and yard waste was that removed as well. Mr. Sanford explained anything else on the property the contractor would remove. Councilmember Hussain reference the letter dated 9/25/202 by Ms. Kumar that speaks to a partial amount that was granted for a board up. Ms. Sumner said after reviewing that prior to the meeting she believes that it being a form letter the wording was not changed from “board up” to “trash” and there was a grant of $249. The CRC felt there was no justification for the increase of an extra thee yards or hour of service. Councilmember Garza referred to Mr. Saeid’s letter and that he has been out of work since March, 2020 due to COVID. He asked if we could take into consideration and if he could get on a payment plan? Mr. Sanford stated the amount was on his taxes and the claimant could reach out to the Treasurer’s office. Mr. Saeid spoke and stated it looks like the Committee has made up its mind. He stated he bought the chair for his disabled son and found it to not work. He put it by his garage and posted it on Facebook that it was free and could be picked up. Mr. Saeid then received the letter from the City and moved it to the curb by the trashcan. He was contacted by a few people and then it was gone so he assumed someone from the post picked it up. Mr. Saeid stated regarding the 2018 violation that he moved that violation into his garage. If he had known he couldn’t put the chair by the curb for pickup he would’ve taken it to the recycling center. Mr. Saeid asked for help as he is in a hardship at this time. Councilmember Hussain stated he was looking at the two notices and it clearly states to acquire a blue sticker for removal. He also stated that there was a grant of $249 that was removed from the original total. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GARZA TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION TO DENY THE CLAIM APPEAL #1779 FOR 800 HARRIS STREET IN THE AMOUNT OF $440. ROLL CALL VOTE, MOTION CARRIED 2-0. Ms. Sumner wanted to mention that Ms. Hagen brought to her attention that for Claim #1766, Ms. Stralkowski did not appear at the CRC and didn’t provide evidence of her affiliation with Royal Wulf LLC. Ms. Sumner wanted to note for Councilmember Wood that it is her understanding that Ms. Stralkowski is the resident and does in fact have standing to bring this claim so there wouldn’t be an issue later.

As I am relatively new to Lansing ( as of November 2018) I was unfamiliar with the city trash ordinance, and placed the recliner by the curb. I received the letter explaining that I needed to remove the recliner from the curb. However the letter said nothing about my indoor table on the porch, so I mistakenly believed that placing the recliner on the porch while I obtained the sticker for disposal of both the table and recliner would be following the city ordinance. I was later informed by city officials that indoor table on my porch was also in violation of the ordinance, but this was not detailed in the letter whatsoever, leading to this misunderstanding. When the recliner was taken, the indoor art table was also on the porch and was never mentioned in the report whatsoever. Cityof Lansing OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY James D. Smiertka, City Attorney September 10, 2020 Katelyn Stralkowski 903 N. Capitol Avenue Lansing, MI 48906 Re: Claim — 903 N. Capitol Ave. Dear Ms. Stralkowski: Please be advised that the Claims Review Committee reviewed the claim you submitted in the amount of $460. 00 for a trash violation for property located at 903 N. Capitol Ave., Lansing, Michigan, and denied the claim you filed with the City of Lansing. You have the right to appeal the decision of the Claims Review Committee to the Lansing City Council. If you desire to do so, please submit your appeal in writing, within thirty ( 30) days of the date of this letter, to the Lansing City Clerk, 91h Floor, City Hall, Lansing, MI 48933, for placement on the Council' s agenda. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact this office.

Capitol Ave. Lansing, MI 48906 To Claims Review Committee of Lansing, Thank you for your previous consideration of my claim submitted in the amount of $460. 00 for a trash violation for the property located at 903 N Capitol Ave. I am writing to appeal the decision. I am asking for the Committee' s reconsideration for this claim. I fully understand that I had a misunderstanding of the request that was sent to me in writing, and did not take the appropriate action to be fully in accordance with city ordinance because of my misunderstanding. I did not realize that moving the chair in question from the curb for trash pickup, back onto the porch of my rented property, would still constitute an ordinance violation. My understanding of the ordinance was that I was violating the city' s trash pickup policies, and removing the furniture from the curb would solve this issue. I have only lived in the city of Lansing since November of 2018 and have since been acclimating to the framework for city' s ordinances and regulations, and ask for leniency on this violation. Thank you for reconsidering this matter. I recognize that the city's ordinance is in place to ensure the removal of blight from the city' s neighborhoods is a key aspect to making Lansing a community committed to her residents.
