ÁHomeless Awareness Week to members of organizations that have joined together
to form the Interagency Shelter and Housing Council. Accepting the proclamation
and briefly describing the organizations that they represent were: Susan
McGee, executive director of the Domestic Violence Project Safe House; Carolyn
McCabe, executive director of Avalon House; Olaf Lidums, interim executive
director of the Shelter Association; Chuck Kiefer, SOS Crisis Center; Tanya
Hilgendorf, executive director of Ozone House; Mary Jo Kellen, staff person of

PUBLIC COMMENTARY - RESERVED TIME
ANDY GULVEZAN - ANNOUNCEMENTS
Andy Gulvezan, 2104 Pauline, offered to do the City Administrator=s job for
$36,000, recommended Howard Cooper=s for new car purchases, and commented on
panhandling and health care.
DAVID NOEL - ARMORY
David Noel, 420 W. Huron St., said that it is good that so many organizations
have come together to serve the homeless, instead of competing with each other
for funds. He said that the County and City Administrators have taken a
leadership role in addressing short-term needs for the winter and setting up a
county-wide task force on homeless issues. Space is crucial at the Shelter.
The Armory would be the ideal place for placing all of the services to the
homeless under one roof, including the day and night shelters, job searches and
outreach counseling.
VIVIAN LOUIE - ARMORY
Vivian Louie, 2413 Laurelwood, said that she has been told that housing is an
earned privilege. She said that in a City as affluent as Ann Arbor, it is
2 Council - November 18, 1996
ridiculous that services to people with low incomes are underfunded, undermined
and under attack. Homeless people seeking permanent housing are discriminated
against in the form of credit checks, security deposits, police harassment,
astoundingly high rents, jobs with low wages and no benefits. The shelter is
overcrowded and forced to turn away people. The Armory is the perfect site for
replacing the existing Shelter and would serve more people in a cleaner, safer,
healthier environment.
JIM HARLAN - TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE
Jim Harlan, 2400 Glenville Dr., Richardson, Tx., attorney for MCI Metro, a
local exchange carrier owned by long distance carrier MCI Telecommunications.
He requested postponement of the ordinance for at least 60 days to allow for
review and comment by the industry. He requested that the ordinance be
reviewed closely for issues that may be anti-competitive. He requested that the
ordinance be referred to a committee that would include industry involvement.
Those from the industry could provide expertise and information that would
hopefully result in legislation that would encourage competition in Ann Arbor.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
NON-DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE (ORDINANCE NO. 40-96)
A public hearing was conducted on the proposed Amendment to Chapter 112 of
Title IX, Section 9:163, Add Section 9:164 - Non-Discrimination, and Amendment
to Chapter 1 of Title I, Section 1:17 - Code Violation Citations. (Ordinance
No. 40-96)
The following persons spoke at this public hearing:
Harry Mial, 1200 Minglewood, Human Rights Commissioner, said that he served on
the Human Rights Commission 30 years ago. There were lots of human rights
problems then, but people were fearful of adopting a Human Rights Ordinance.
The Human Rights ordinance was eventually adopted and there is enough
background now to understand that those fears were unfounded. The current
Human Rights Commission has worked hard to bring the proposed amendments to the
Council. He asked the Council to approve them because it would help many people
and would make Ann Arbor a better City in which to live.
Pam Kisch, 807 Dewey, director of the Fair Housing Center of Washtenaw County,
said that in the last few years 25 discrimination complaints were received
based on income, sexual orientation, or student status. Private litigation is a
most important tool, but is not available in Ann Arbor. To protect the rights
of Ann Arbor citizens, the ordinance amendment creating a right to private
action was recommended. This would open up enforcement to the entire local bar
and free up time for the City=s attorneys.
Molly Reno, 320 N. Main St., recommended approval of the private action
amendment to the ordinance. Approval of this section would allow an individual
to seek private legal representation if they feel that they have been
discriminated against. She also sought an additional amendment to the ordinance
to give the courts the authority to award attorney fees to discrimination
Council - November 18, 1996 3
victims.
Mary Bejian, 316 N. Thayer, said that the current ordinance is great because it
is all inclusive. However, the ordinance lacks strength of enforcement. She
advocated approval of the section that would allow individuals the right to
private action and allow the local attorneys to collect fees. In addition,
Ann Arbor needs more supportive services for people who are homeless or who are
looking for low-income housing. She said that all of the services to the poor
and homeless should be conducted under one roof and the ideal place for that
would be the Ann Arbor armory.
Alissa Schwab, 2319 Packard, B207, said that she has been discriminated against
as a single mother of three who lives at the Pattengill Condominiums. The
president of the condominiums has kept it limited to single-elderly people
until she moved in. Recently, another family with children moved in. The
resultant Ákid noise caused her to receive an eviction notice. She said that
allegations were made against her children that were not true. In her quest
for equal treatment, she found that other families that lived there received
the same treatment, and moved out. She said that she cannot afford to move and
that her children are secure there. The penalties proposed in the ordinance
would help prevent this type of treatment.
Robert Dargel, 814 Brooks, supported the amendments to the ordinance because
the current penalty may present an inconvenience to landlords, but does not
deter discrimination. He said that this ordinance is the only protection that
gay people have and he urged the Council to support this ordinance to send a
message that discrimination is not okay in Ann Arbor.
Dick Soble, 2 Geddes Heights, supported the increased penalties for those
convicted of discrimination, and the authority given to the courts to award
attorney fees to those who win their discrimination suit. He also supported
the right of individuals to seek private legal remedies as an essential
amendment to the ordinance to provide another tool to individuals to address
discrimination
Marcene Root, 1015 Bath, Apt. 2, Human Rights Commissioner, said that it is
important to have a safe place to sleep and to have productive employment. If
these basic needs cannot be fulfilled, how can one envision full freedom.
People are told that they have to take responsibility for their own lives, but
this cannot happen when some are systematically excluded on the basis of
certain characteristics. Discrimination is organized bullying and something
has to be in place to counter-attack that bullying.
Victor C. Turner, Jr., 1219 Ardmoor, Human Rights Commissioner, asked Council
to support the Non- discrimination ordinance because it would serve to protect
the rights of all of the people of Ann Arbor all of the time.
Ezra Rowry, 818 Pomona, recalled that 30 years ago, Ann Arbor=s mayor blocked
the bid of the Kodak Company, now located in New York, to set up office in Ann
Arbor because the people that it would attract as employees were not desirable.
This type of ordinance should have been in place long ago to prevent the
problems occurring in the City now. The right of private action is beneficial,
4 Council - November 18, 1996
because governmental agencies are pressed for time and staff to handle these
cases. Because of its heavy workload, the State allowed him to privately
pursue a discrimination case that he recently won. He said that even though he
won the case, it was costly to him because he developed stress related health
problems.
Giselle Sadeghi, daughter of Human Rights Commissioner Azar Sadeghi, posed the
rhetorical question: which was better - a broken bone or a broken heart? A
broken bone can be healed by a doctor and the physical condition returned to
normal. But being fired from your job, called ethnic names and being made to
feel unwelcome in this country, constitutes a broken heart. If someone breaks
your bones, they will be jailed for assault, but if someone breaks your heart,
they can pay $500 (the current fine for violation of the Nondiscrimination
ordinance) and get away with it. This is price for human dignity in Ann Arbor.
She said that she would prefer broken bones if she would not have to be
discriminated against ever again.
Mike Koen, 1930 Washtenaw Ave., Human Rights Commissioner, said that a wide
gulf in the quality of life still exists among various groups in our society.
This gulf is caused by a lack of fairness or equity in our society, our State
and our City. Fairness is the core of the proposed amendments to an ordinance
that has not been updated in two decades. Fairness should be independent of
people, time and events and those who have been treated unfairly should be
allowed to take their grievances to court. He urged adoption of all proposed
amendments to the ordinance.
Paul Lambert, supported the ordinance amendments and said that the timing of
them is important given the State and Federal assault on traditional American
human rights. By passing these ordinance amendments a powerful message will be
sent to America that human rights are valuable in Ann Arbor.
Michael Steinberg, local civil rights attorney, and immediate past president of
the Ann Arbor Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, said that his research
indicates that under the Home Rule Provision of the Michigan Constitution and
the Home Rule Cities Act, the City has the power to adopt the amendment to
allow a private cause of action. He said that Ann Arbor has the opportunity
and the authority to become a leader in the field of human rights, and that he
would strongly urge the Council to adopt the proposals.
Paul Ristich, 711 Fountain, said that he is a white male, who is not gay, and
the reason that he mentions this is because the climate, on the radio and in
the community, is to assign problems to the people that they affect and to let
those people solve their own problems. He said that the news releases
indicating that black leaders were angered that the Central Intelligence Agency
allowed Contra drugs to be distributed in the inner-cities angered him as well.
He said housing discrimination benefits those who want to exercise control of
other people=s lives in ways that they have no given authority. The people
should be commended for wanting legal remedy because these are grave inhuman
injustices.
Nicolas Roumel, 2718 Hampshire, supported the section in the ordinance that
would allow private legal action for victims of discrimination. He said, that
as an attorney for Student Legal Services for the University of Michigan, he
sees a lot of student status discrimination in rental housing. Students are
discriminated against in that landlords will only rent to graduate students, or
no students at all. Or students are required to have their parents co-sign on
Council - November 18, 1996 5
a lease that may include several other students, thereby, making parents liable
for students who are not related. Another example of discrimination is that of
child care providers who refuse state licensing because they would have to care
for welfare babies. An example of a good ordinance with no teeth is the
Trespass in the Rental Housing Ordinance because it has no private cause of
action section and in many cases the City attorney=s office caseload cannot
handle the volume of complaints.
Mr. Elliot said that, as a landlord, he is a little worried about the change
from a one-time fine to a daily fine of $500 dollars. He felt that the
ordinance should include a stiffer penalty, but wondered how an immediate daily
fine would be assessed, and how it would be determined when the fining would
begin.
Cecilia Ewing, chairperson of the Human Rights Commission, said that, in
response to Mr. Elliot=s concern, fines would not be levied unless
discrimination was proven. She reminded the Council that they charged the Human
Rights Commission to make recommendations on how to end discrimination. She
believed that the proposed amendments are good ones and requested that the
Council adopt these amendments and make Ann Arbor a better, safer city.
Larry Fox spoke in support of the ordinance amendments and urged Council to do
the right thing.
David Noel spoke in support of the ordinance. Discrimination affects the
homeless as well as other groups. He said that once discrimination is targeted,
other people participate in it.
There being no further speakers, the Mayor declared the public hearing closed.
704 SPRING STREET REZONING (ORDINANCE NO. 41-96)
A public hearing was conducted on the proposed Amendment to Chapter 55,
